"My apologize my personal opinion is well I do not trust her..." Reinhardt let out a tired sigh rubbing the bridge of his nose,"I am correct because you have such a beautiful mind playing with Wayne and all..." Reinhardt giggled walking forward close but was sill behind Anthony.

"I found someone just as interesting..Crane's son he recently went a little crazy thanks to his father and made a lot of trouble for Wayne and Pamela Isley..." Reinhardt added with a smile.

"Oh and by the way what is your plan?" He added.

Kat turned to see who had bumped into Kaden, only to roll her eyes when she saw Lee. She drummed her fingers on her thigh listening to their exchange and considered continuing walking to class alone but Kadens question dragged her into the conversation. "You wound me Kaden. No, I have known him all of a few hours. He is just a boy who seems to believe he lives in a fairytale, where thieves are dashing and a kiss means love." She said theatrically with a dismissive wave of her hand.

"And he is not fine." She reached for his wrist and turned it over, not roughly but her point was clear in his reaction. Shaking her head slightly she didn't have to think too hard as to how he may have injured himself, though providing it was not anything she needed or desired she cared very little either way. "However," she said now in the old tongue, turning to Kaden specifically, "I do not think he knows who we are." And a small, dangerous smile played on her lips.

"But alas I never made any pretense to such dreams or romanticized allegations to either thieves or kisses. Curious that you would choose such words to describe me though." Lee said before flinching slightly as Kat examined his wrist. Lingering pain exploded from the injury as she examined it. Her touch was cold, it was almost like ice was pressed against his bare skin. It was odd to say the least after all the only other time they touched was when their lips were pressed against each other and he didn't notice the chill then. Perhaps he was too distracted by lifting the book to notice it. A question for another time it would seem. Then Kat began to speak in a tongue that was not familiar to him or the universal language translator chip that he had implanted. After all if you travel the galaxy it was either to have a translation then spending every waking hour studying hundreds of different languages.

Yet this one Kat spoke now did not process at all. Terran languages were uploaded into the translator sure but the world was so rarely visited by other species but the languages were kno-ohhhhhh now that made sense. As Kaden slipped into the language did it only confirm Lee's sneaking suspicion.

"Kat, play nice you've only known him for a few hours like you said." Kaden acting like a parent lightly scolding a child. "At least wait a few days before you pull some theatrics of your own." he added with a small playful pat on the back as Lee could only help but chuckle.

"Well you two are definitely not like the others I have seen it would seem. Nor are you from around here to speak in such a unique tongue between each other" Lee said as Kaden rose a brow as their eyes connected. "Hmmm your not like Kat. No you seem...more noble." The thief said as he began to read Kaden. "Oh..wait...you've seen a lot, you have the eyes of a man that has faced great conflict...something that has lasted for years. Whether the turmoil be internal or external, now judging by how you look at Kat their is a sense of compassion and love, its not that of lovers more of a sibling attachment with the additional consideration of your own little secret language...and that is the look of you trying to understand how some random kid with a broken wrist is reading you like a book." Lee said tilting his head as Kaden frowned and tilted his own head mimicking Lee's actions as the demigod had a look of curious intrigue on his features.

Then Kaden turned to Kat. "I'll take it he has already did this little trick on you already today correct?" Kaden asked.

"Possibly" Lee said flinching slightly while gently withdrawing his wrist from Kat's grasp. "How many other people's injuries does she inspect with physical contact?" He asked. "Unless they seemed to have catch some form of interest in her intelligent green eyes." He added gripping his wrist again

Some of the bullets didnt reach her, instead impacting against her telekinesis. Those that did reach her did their damage. Shifting her stance slightly the wounds from the bullets were already healing. The smoke may have obscured her vision but it didn't stop her from knowing exactly what he was doing. Bring up her hand through the smoke she pinned the blade between her thumb and index finger. Twisting her wrist and fingers she she attempted to use her strength to rip the sword from the boys hands.

Following the motion she rotated her body and brought her left leg forward to land behind his foot as she threw her left arm forward to push him back. The combination would cause him to trip on the way back. All in all the motion was extremely swift and well coordinated. By no means was she unfamiliar with any of the things Flood tried.

---

Having lost her train of thought Ben had wandered off. Class? Yes Estrlla's team might be the one to fight today. Hurrying off as well she rushed into Power Development and took a seat at the front. She really hoped this wouldnt go as bad as the last class.

Flood didn't let her rip the sword out of his hands instead he twisted his arms with her wrist and let his bones crack from the unnatural strain they were put under. "Yes, give me more pain!" He headbutted her and let her trip him as he took his sword with him. He rolled backwards and psychotically stared at her as he already felt his bones mending.

He sheathed his Katana and pulled out two more handguns. These ones were loaded with incendiary bullets and would ignite upon impact. The guns would be rendered useless from the heat, but he had plenty of guns. He began firing again as he looked at a nearby window. Coincidentally the same one he jumped out of earlier. He threw the partially melted guns at her and ran towards the window to jump. He needed to get out of this situation before his mind deteriorated too much.

Phoebe looked over at Makoto's call, and smiled brightly, stopping, and raising a hand in a wave, "hey, Gale!" She said brightly, glad her friend seemed to be okay, as well as calling Makoto by what she wanted to be called. "How are you? What have you been doing? Sorry I just disappeared. Things happened"

Makoto noticed that Phoebe called her by the name she had chosen. She appreciated that, but had continued to debate the name change.
The four paused outside of the classroom door to catch up. "I'm good, Katherin and I have been having fun today. Flood Joined us for lunch too." Makoto explained, skimming over all of the details of her's and Katherin's day so far. "Is everything alright?" she asked, clearly concerned for her new friend. She realized she was ignoring the boy in the wheelchair, but she was unsure what to say or do to introduce herself. Seeing him up close, she thought she may have seen him before... but not in a wheelchair. He kinda looked like the guy who kept hiding in the shadows as Phoebe showed Makoto around the campus.

This time all the bullets were caught by a TK barrier and exploded harmlessly it its grasp. Her eyes darting to the window it unlatched and opened as Flood was running for it. Casually waving her hand she boosted the boy into the air and out the window. Rather than falling though he stopped abruptly as Kagerou walked over to the opening and leaned on the window sill. Flood would find himself in an invisible bubble and the woman watched the brief moment of confusion. "Thank you for heading outside. It makes dragging you around so much easier. Now, let's go find your friend."

Hopping out of the window she lighted on the ground and headed for the enterance where Lee was. Two Asguardians were around him it would seem. The demigods had a distinct feel to them apart from humans. The bubble that Flood was in followed along. Poking her head inside she looked at the three. "Hello there. I don't think we've had the chance to meet properly. But that will have to wait until after your friend here explains what he was doing in the infirmary after I locked it." She smiled lightly, hoping this one wouldn't be quite as tenacious.

Flood started giggling as he floated through the air. "Whee!" He yelled as he pulled out a knife and tested how strong this telekintic bubble was. 'Well, looks like I'm not getting out anytime soon.' He thought to himself as he prepared a small unnoticeable knife in his sleeve. He would make sure that he got the job done, no matter what.

Kat only rolled her eyes as he tried to twist her own words against her; a hit with his broken hand would have done more damage. “I was more than willing to play nice, whatever happens from this point on is his own fault. It seems like he needs the valuable lesson.” She said, looking at Kaden and ignoring the small signs of comradery between the two.

And then Lee began to run off on Kaden as he had with her that morning. “Oh joy.” She sighed, and simply waited for the whole thing to end, giving Kaden a pointed look towards its end. And even when he finally fell silent it wasn’t for long, as he answered Kadens question for her; whether she wanted him to was another question however. This boy clearly wanted to make his life miserable.

But before she had the chance to tell him the error of his ways one of the newer faces, Kagerou walked up. She nearly called her a knight in shining armour but the sight of Flood behind her suggested quite the opposite. Kat smiled at the sight. “I imagine it is something to do with the fact he’s a dirty thief, but I don’t want to put words into your mouth.” She said with a mock innocence that everyone would be able to see through. She knew there had been something amiss with her; there was a story there that was clear. “Or maybe he was just searching for a way to fix his mysteriously injured hand. Lee, please do clarify the situation.” She turned to him, a smile showing she was going to enjoy this power shift.

Phoebe listened as Makoto talked, and as she did, she realised that she might not know Nicholas, beyond merely recognising him. "Everythings okay. We just had some difficulty, with Nick's father. This Nick by the way, my half-brother" Phoebe doubted she would get tired of being able to say that. She smiled, and looked at Nick, hoping he would be okay in the long run.

"This is Makoto, but she told me to call her Gale" She said, looking to Makoto to make sure that was still correct.

Oh! Phoebe had mentioned her half-brother yesterday. At that time the siblings seemed to have been in ill favor with each other but today, that had changed dramatically. Maybe the talking suggestion worked. Makoto was unsure how to approach the situation, weather to lean over or crouch down. She didn't want to be demeaning to Nicholas. In the end she decided the most respectful response would be to crouch down so that her eyes were level with his. Makoto extended her hand in an offering;

"Hey Nicholas, I'm Gale." she reiterated. She still felt like the new name was better. Makoto was not a totslly different person but so much about her life was different now, it my be of more use to take on a new name now. She thought that her name change was similar to that of a catapillar becoming a butterfly, or a seed becoming a tree, or even a gusty wind becoming a hurricane. They all begin as one thing, the entity doesn't change much but rather transforms into something different and is thus called by a new name.

Lee did not flinch nor did his features change as the teacher confronted him with Flood floating behind her. Nor did he react to Kat's rresponse to the older woman instead he simply turned to face her with a rose brow. "I hurt my hand when I fell off the side of the Academy. My thrill seeking was rash and it cost me, I asked Flood to go and get me something for it. As the pain subsided I noticed he had not yet returned and went to go and find him." He said motioning to the boy behind her.

"However when I noticed the fight occurring I risked injuring my hand further by not intervening and enter the infirmary from the outside. " he said before gritting his teeth. "I caused it to flare up again and I fell a second time just for some pain killers." He said reaching into his coat and pulling the bottle out. "I know it was rash but my hand is in....excruciating pain...." HD groaned

Nicholas brought his hand out to shake Gales hand with a smile on his face,Once he shook her hand he put his hand down and started writing down on his notepad,He handed the piece of paper to her laughing softly."Hello my name is Nicholas and yes i am Phoebe's half brother i only found this out a few days ago and but it's a pleasure to meet you" It said on the note while Nicholas now had his hand now on top of his knees.

Kagerou listened quietly and examined the hand in question. He'd definitely done a number to it. After Lee had finished she mused for a moment. "You are probably going to want more than just pain killers for your hand. The nurses should be getting back by now. Have them take a look at it." It was hard to tell whether she believed him or not. The advice seemed to at least be a good sign. But the fact she she'd known he was there after leaving meant she had some other way of tracking people.

Leaving it at that she looked back at Flood. "I'm going to need the things you stole back. We keep inventory for a reason you know. If anything is still missing afterward its not like we won't notice. And I'll know just who to look for. I also know where you've been so if I have to I'll just turn the place upside down." Smirking she let Flood drift down till he was on his own two feet again.

@floodtalon

Flood dug in his pockets and pulled out some things of medicine then winced. He pulled out his hand out of his other pocket and it was covered in broken glass. "I think some of it shattered." He picked out the glass and threw it in a nearby bush. The stuff he did have he gave it back. "Sorry."

@t2wave@Z2010Deadmeat

Taking the medicine from Flood her demeanor lightened up a bit. Noticing the glass she raised an eyebrow briefly before returning to normal. "Thank you. Given anyone else I might be worried about what was in those you broke but it probably won't matter in your case. Go changed before you expose someone to something." She examined the labels of the broken loot to see what it was. Nothing exceptionally dangerous so she didn't have to worry about it harming the other students. "I'm sure up until this point your antics have been overlooked. But in light of recent events there are going to be changes to how things are done so I'll make this clear. As head of security I will be keeping track of the goings on at this academy and I will not tolerate theft or purposeful damage of its property."

Taking a breath she sighed then smiled ever so slightly. "That said I have signed the treaty so I will not stop you from working outside the academy unless it ends up involving it as such. There's your out. If you'll excuse me I have an injured student to attend to." No doubt Lee had already been planning or making a move to avoid any further contact with the strange woman. Through the whole thing she seemed to be having a bit of fun stepping on their games. It was a fairly rare trait in the staff with the exception of maybe Mimic or Deadpool. There was a lesson somewhere but it was probably hiding behind her behavior.

Turning back her eyes went straight to Lee. Flood was a minor distraction. No way was it going to be that easy to get away. Her voice had once again lost the more serious tone of a minute ago. "Alright, let's get your hand taken care of."

Flood walked away as he looked at Lee. The look in his eyes while still the same joyous look as always had another message for him. He got the job done. Flood walked to his room and began the looped feed as he took out a wooden baton and a knife. He bit down on the baton and jabbed the knife directly into his stomach. He tore it open and dug around for a couple of seconds. He pulled out a few clear vials with fluids in them as his stomach began healing already.

-Flashback-

Flood grabbed the things he needed and quickly poured them into a few vials he brought with him. He swallowed the vials and put back the half empty containers. He took a few extra things to avoid suspicion and broke a few things as well. He then quickly exited the infirmary ready to make his escape.

-Flashback End-

"Always adapt." He muttered to himself as he hid the vials in various places in the room. He then turned off the looped feed.

Nicholas brought his hand out to shake Gales hand with a smile on his face,Once he shook her hand he put his hand down and started writing down on his notepad,He handed the piece of paper to her laughing softly."Hello my name is Nicholas and yes i am Phoebe's half brother i only found this out a few days ago and but it's a pleasure to meet you" It said on the note while Nicholas now had his hand now on top of his knees.

Makoto was glad to see that their relationship had improved. It made her happy to see Phoebe happy. For a brief moment Makoto wondered where Ryan was, the lucky fiancee, but she concluded that the two didn't need to be joined at the hip. It occurred to her that Nicholas had not been introduced to Katherin as of yet. They could know each other from before but she figured it was safe to ask.

"Have you met Katherin before?" She asked Nicholas, gesturing to Katherin.

@Hidden Lilly Nicholas thought for a moment diving into his memory if he had meet or talk to this Katherin person,A few seconds of this he shook his head saying that he didn't know this person.

His eyes looked over to the person named Katerin his mind was still a bit fuzzy so it was going to be a bit hard for him.

"My apologize my personal opinion is well I do not trust her..." Reinhardt let out a tired sigh rubbing the bridge of his nose,"I am correct because you have such a beautiful mind playing with Wayne and all..." Reinhardt giggled walking forward close but was sill behind Anthony.

"I found someone just as interesting..Crane's son he recently went a little crazy thanks to his father and made a lot of trouble for Wayne and Pamela Isley..." Reinhardt added with a smile.

"Oh and by the way what is your plan?" He added.

"First of all, the door to Wayne's office is sound proof so I highly doubt you ears any of our conversation. Secondly, even if you were somehow able to find a way to eavesdrop on us, you would know that I wasn't 'playing' with him. Thirdly, why would I care who's been giving our esteemed Dean trouble? Lastly, why are you talking to me, and why would I tell you any of my plans?" Anthony asks, his annoyance made clear by his tone of voice.

@Eviledd1984

"No I haven't had a chance to meet Nikolas in person. I have seen him but so far our paths haven't crossed. It is nice to finally met Phoebe's brother. She is lucky to have family so close. Katherin stated calmly. She pulled the cold around her. She wasn't going to allow herself be jealous of all the time her friend was spending with her family get to her. Phoebe had every right to spend as much time as she wanted with whoever she wanted.
