Another year. As the sun rose over the academy, signifying the start of a new day, and for many the beginning of their time at the academy, Bruce Wayne stood in his office, watching the first students arrive. Some students had opted to stay throughout the break, among them his own daughter. He had been glad of that, glad of the chance to have more time with her, without all the problems the semester had brought.

"After last years fiascos, I'm glad the academy is once more expecting a new influx of students. Hopefully there won't be the troubles of the last semester." Bruce said, turning the other man in the office.

Clark Kent, formerly known as superman, nodded, but a quick grin flashed across his face, "you said that last year as wel, Bruce. I think you will just have to face it-there will always be trouble in one way or another"

Bruce gave a sigh, but nodded in agreement. "You're right, of course. At least there were some successes last year, a new super in the world-Sue Cassidy is certainly making a name for herself as Echo. now, as long as she doesn't destroy some buildings..." Bruce trailed off, glancing out the window again.

"How many times have we seen the world change, Clark? We better ensure these students are well prepared for whatever comes their way"

Phoebe was awake bright and early. All around her room, there was the appearance that she had lived there for a while, and plenty of indication of comfort. She had posters, photos, drawings, and more plastered over the walls, books spread leisurely all over, a TV with a game system sat in a corner, a couple of bean bags settled in front of it, and there were flowers where ever possible, on the window sill, on the night stand, on shelves, all showing indication of being well cared for.

Running clothes were just thrown on the floor, and Phoebe herself was just pulling on a shirt, pulling back her long red hair and tying it back, she considered herself presentable, and grabbing her satchel she darted out, ready to great new students, and direct them to sign in.

---

Connor walked up to the academy, rucksack and backpack over a shoulder. He could have flown quite easily, but where would he keep his gear? it was good to see the academy, having gone home. The break had been needed, for everyone he thought. He hoped this year would be less eventful.

He figured there would be some familiar faces, and was not disappointed there, spying Phoebe darting across the court yard. It did look like there were several new students, and he wished them well.

---

Harry climbed out of a taxi, having travelled alone to the academy. He paid the cabbie, and gathered up his gear, saying no, thank you to the cabbie who offered to help, and took his first look at the building. A young boy, Harry was average height, pale skinned and dark haired. His eyes were hidden behind glasses that were almost goggles, and he wore a hoodie, pulled up, so his eyes were in shadows.

The boy appeared to stand there for a few moments, looking like he was having an internal debate within himself. The voices echoed around his mind, but he pushed them back, and taking a break, made his way up to the academy, keeping his eyes down.

Katherin sighed as she got up. In a way she was glad to be starting another year. She had missed her friends. But being here at the academy made her miss her father. He was dating again which always made her nervous. Her dad always fell for regular woman. And when they discovered who and what he was they broke up with him. She wished that he would date someone in the supernatural community. She got dressed and headed to the cafeteria to see what was available for breakfast.

Zack checked on Griffin. His brother hated the first day of school. There were too many strangers and unknowns. They had had a rough year last year and Griffin wasn't sure he wanted to deal with school. But Zack knew that they had to. They needed the education to support themselves. And they also needed the skills they were learning in training to help people. So they had agreed to give it one more year. Zack hoped for both their sakes that this year would be better.

Lance had decided to fly to school, he flew through the skies, spinning and twirling as the wind ran through his hair. It has been a couple months since he became part of the green lantern corps. Lance touched down at the front on the school attracting some attention as green lanterns aren't common on earth. He pays no mind and changes into his regular school clothes using his ring . He had been wearing a black hoodie with a hotdog on it, khaki pants and some black vans. He walks up the steps of the school, Lance was hungry and went towards the cafeteria. He wanted to make sure he payed attention on his first day.

Tryla way of getting to school was slightly...unorthodox. Instead of a car or a bus, she took a spaceship. Her parents had insisted on driving her to the school, and she wasn't about to say no. While other teenagers might find their parents annoying, she thought of her parents as total interstellar badasses. Who else could say that their parents were Star-Lord and Shadowcat? No one, that's who! Anyway, she chatted with her parents until they all finally reached the school. They hovered about ten feet above the ground, but didn't land. Tryla stood up from her chair and went to say her goodbyes to her parents. Her mom hugged her and then kissed her lightly on the forehead before saying, "Have fun sweetie. Remember to call us every week." before stepping back and letting Tryla's dad, Peter, say his goodbye. He ruffled Tryla's hair. "Good luck, kiddo. Don't get in too many fights...but don't get in too few either." Tryla hugged him before turning to leave. She then heard her Dad's voice coming from behind her saying, "We love ya kid." Tryla replied with, "Love you too guys," and with that, Tryla phased through the floor of the starship and ungracefully floated to the ground. She watched the ship fly away, and then turned toward the academy and walked inside the main building, suitcase rolling along behind her.

If Cameron was annoyed at the fact it was the first day at school, he didn't let it show. His emotionless face betrayed nothing to anyone. He got up, got changed into his silky black hoodie and flew to school on wings made of the night itself. He landed outside the gates to the school.

And walked in.

Lex walked into the school with a briefcase. All in it was the blueprints of a suit he was designing, his laptop and any other things he needed. Lex walked tothe academy silently. He wondered if he would meet...him. Superman. His father's old nemesis before his dad died. His fist tightened. He hated superman but also wanted to redeem his family name. Lex found out his father killed himself because of the hero. But his father did so much wrongs, he wanted to right them. Lex sat under a tree silently and took out his laptop. The teen was excited to meet any of the students. "Lets see how the designs look." Lex said to himself.

Levitating into your school courtyard was not the conventional way to get to school. But Brenner was not your conventional guy, his surname said it all. Strange. He was not normal in the best possible way. He was effortlessly gliding through the sky. His ride wasn't the coolest though. He passed a space ship on the way there, with a girl inside. He waved through the window and mouthed "Cool ride!" He winked and flew away again, landing skilfully on the ground. His cloak gave a small jerk downwards. "Gee, I need to fix that soon." He fiddled with his satchel and sauntered through the trees. He noticed the girl that he saw in the space ship and gave a small wave, and mouthed "Hi!" @Framing A Moose

By now, things around campus were moving along, and it made Maisie feel anxious as she walked towards it. She'd taken a certain bus route that lead her as close as possible, at least a mile out. With nothing in her hands but a backpack of some food, necessities and the clothes on her back, Maisie walked the rest.
In her hand, a note was pressed firmly with her grip. Hopefully she could find this woman, this Ms. Fox, and someone could help her.

Officialy on campus, she felt her breath getting stuck in her throat. Maisie pushed her way through people, apologizing as she went, clumsily trying to rush her way into the school.

Holding enough common sense, she knew there had to be an office somewhere, someone she could ask. But she seemed to just circle around the gymnasium, getting more lost and worried than before. If she was emotionally inclined she might have started crying by now.
Maisie's mind was still a bit jumbled amd delicate, she easily became frustrated with herself, even if the issue at hand wasn't due to her lack of memory. Nothing about the place felt familiar but Maisie had no idea if she had been here before, what if someone here knew her? How could she possibly explain she just couldn't remember them either?

She looked down at her note again, hand beginning to shake.

Lance grabbed a bagel from the cafeteria and decided to explore the school. "This place is huge" Lance had never been to a school like this as well as seen unique people. Despite his past he was an ordinary kid. Lance looked at his ring which was basically his admission ticket to the school. Lance wasn't paying attention to where he had been walking and accidentally hit another student.
@ribcageroses

"My bad I wasn't paying attention" he said quickly, he didn't wanna cause any trouble.

As Tryla made her way to the main building she saw a boy mouth the word, "Hi," to her. He looked familiar, but she couldn't place where she'd seen him. After a few seconds of staring, she suddenly remembered. She had seen him flying next to her parents' ship. If she remembered correctly, he even winked at her. Guys had the tendency to do stuff like that to her. Tryla had the perfect amount of attitude, humor, and tomboyishness while still being somewhat attractive. Tryla strutted towards the boy, stopping about a yard in front of him. "You're the guy who was flying, aren't you? That's a pretty cool trick. I'm Tryla by the way. Tryla Quill." she extended a hand for a hand shake.

@Erklings25

Ryan ran into the campus as he finished his daily run. He had just done a lap around the land mass of North and South America. He was getting faster. Some day he would be doing a lap around the world as his daily routine. Course that day was not today. He ran into his room and pulled on a shirt and jeans. He ran out and basically collided with Phoebe. He looked at her and smiled. "Good morning, beautiful. How are you doing today?" He asked looking like he had just come back from his run, which he had.

---

Jack swung into the campus and sat on the roof watching the new people come in. He did not want to get involved with the new guys. He was still dealing with the death and insanity of his brother.

---

Cole smiled as he pulled the wallet out of some rich guy in a suit. He did not want to go to this school. His mother had basically banished him from Gotham before he ended up in jail. So now he was forced to rub elbows with people he did not much care for. Cole sat down on a bench and waited for them to deal with whatever they were dealing with.

@Framing A Moose
Brenner firmly shook her hand. "Hi. I'm Strange. Oh, wait that sounded wrong. I'm not weird or like that just, um, you know. Ugh that's my name. Brenner Strange." He considered adding 'Sorcerer-Supreme-in-Traing' on the end, but that was just a bit arrogant. He slid his fingers underneath the strap of his satchel nervously. 'Get it together, Bren.' He thought. "So, you like the flying, eh? Not as cool as a Goddam spaceship though!" He was about to take off, and do a bit of aerobatics, when he said. "This is usually the point where I'd show off, but, the cloak is glitchng out."
"I'm not just a cloak, Doc!" Whispered a quiet voice in Brenner's head. His cloak gave a slight tug upwards. He lifted it up, over his head, and slung it over his shoulder. "Sorry 'bout that little interlude. So, how on Earth did you get a spaceship?"

Tryla scratched the back of her head and smiled, chuckling a little. "Well, it ain't actually mine. It's my dad's ship. I've been saving up to buy my own though! I know most of what there is to know about space travel, not to mention the fact that my dad has been teaching me how to fly." she said, before chuckling again. She had the tendency to start rambling when she got a turn to talk. "If you don't mind me askin', what exactly do you mean by glitchin' out?"

@Erklings25

Phoebe
@Avanhelsing
Hurrying as she was, she didn't see the normal streak that accompanied Ryan's movements in speed. She steadied herself against him, and smiled. "Good." She couldn't help herself, and she reached up to sooth his hair back into place, "Gotta make the introductory speech, tell the new students what they have to do. And I want to see if Katherine's here too"

Phoebe had to finish up her enrollment too. She was cutting back some of the super classes, and starting her degree in business management, finding it a fascinating course. The fact that the academy offered the chance to do such degrees was, in her mind, beneficial to all students.

She smiled again, "I've missed everyone. Come on, I'll tell the new students what they have to do, and then we can go get breakfast or something"

With the graduation of Johnathon, Phoebe had volunteered to do the introduction thing.

Kaliinda
@ribcageroses@pkken

Kalinda entered the school once more, emerging from the shadows. She was somewhat reluctant to return to the school, but knew she still needed more control over her empathetic abilities. She was steadily gaining control, but with the...strengthening of her empathy, it was getting hard to maintain control. Touch seemed quite...powerful over her.

She know wore a full skin suit, covering her from neck to feet, gloves over her hands. She knew the outfit was a little bit...revealing. So she wore shorts and a t-shirt.

She kept herself removed from the other students, but still she found that their emotions were over welming.

One girl appeared completely overwhelmed, utterly really, and she sighed, following the powerful emotions. Someone else was there, and Kalinda wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. "Excuse me? Do you need help?"

Harry
@Avanhelsing
Harry found a place were he could watch the going ons of the academy, the students gathering, and the buildings. Although it, Harry was sure to avoid eye contact, despite his glasses. He noticed a boy on a bench, who appeared quite displeased about being here. "If you don't want to be here, why are you?"

Brenner mindlessly held up the cloak. "The poor little thing hasn't been right for a while, not since I was 14. I'm 20 now and getting by but he seems to be getting worse. It's like a computer virus that I can't get rid of. I asked dad, but he didn't know either. How to get rid of the 'glitches I mean." He did air quotes as he said glitches. The truth was Brenner knew full well what it was. It was that man from years ago, the one he lost the scrolls to. He had been trying to find the traveller ever scince, but he had just disappeared off the face of the Earth. Nobody else knew about the man, just Brenner. He put the clock over his head again. He slowly levitated into the air. "Let's see if this works, eh?" He started gaining speed, and before he knew it he was flying around the school building. He gently somersaulted to the ground. When he landed his cloak tugged him downwards, and he fell to the ground. He luaghed and extended his and towards Tryla. "Give us a hand would you?"
@Framing A Moose

Tryla grabbed hold of Brenner's hand and pulled him to his feet. "You seemed to be doing pretty well until you landed. I can barely get off the ground. I tend think of flying as three-dimensional rollerblading." She said.

@Erklings25

Brenner nodded slowly. "I hope I was doing well. Very well. Truth is I can't fly with this cloak." He unclasped his cloak, from what looked like a strange eyeball-shaped clasp, but it was a real eye. "Hands off the eye, doc! Hands off!" Whispered Aggamoto in his head. He dropped the cloak to the ground and tried to lift off. "See? Nothing. I'm still learning to use to cloak though." He picked it up and was about to re-clasp the cloak around he when he held it out to Tryla. "Care for a ride? Not as cool as your dad's spaceship though, so you'll have to take me for a ride when you get your own. Spaceship, I mean."
@Framing A Moose

Tryla looked at the cloak, before looking back at Brenner's face. "Thanks, but no thanks. When it comes to flying without a ship, I'm not very good." she said. To demonstrate, she activated her phasing ability and floated a few feet into the air. She wasn't doing too terribly until she got about five feet off the ground. At that time, she began spinning and flipping uncontrollable in midair. She wasn't exactly screaming, but more yelping. After a while of spinning and flipping, she finally unactivated her phasing ability and fell to the ground on her back, making a thud. She groaned and sat up, rubbing her head. "So yeah..." she said, before standing up.

@Erklings25

Brenner smiled, but he looked a bit sad. "Awww! Spoilsport!" He chuckled quitely, brushing off his Corduroy sweater. "Yeah, I'm sure if you pit me in front of a spaceship, and told me to drive it, it would break in 20 secconds. Point 5!" He tied the cloak around a strap on his satchel and shoved his hands in his jeans, absent-mindedly. "Huh, well I suppose we'ed better go find out what we're supposed to be doing, eh?" He looked around, trying to find anybody who could help them, he spotted two students who looked younger than him, but like they had been here for longer. "Well," he said casually walking over and flashing a handsome smile at Tryla, "They look like veterans." He walked over to them, and coughed politely. "Hey, lovebirds." He joked, "I'm new here and I just wondered if you two have any idea where I'm supposed to be going."
@Framing A Moose @Caits@Avanhelsing

Tryla followed Brenner to the two people, not completely sure what they had to do either. "Sorry if we interupted something, but we're new here and have no idea what the hell we're supposed to do. You guys look like you've been here for a while; mind telling us how this place works?" she said
