@Mistress DizzyConnor simply held Kijani close, giving a soft laugh at her comment on his previous eating habbit. He had seen nothing wrong with having something that was done in moments, when he was working. But now that was all gone, Kijani's attempts at making guiding him into the ways of proper eating doing more then his own parents ever had. Of course, his father wasn't exactly the epitome of good habits. "That first day of school? After power development, when you ran out? I knew then I wanted to do anything I could just to make you smile. WHen you asked for my help...well, it was the chance I wanted" He said, quite truthfully.
Kijani seemed to be embarrassed at her new found love of games, why she seemed so with him was baffling. It wasn't like he had ever kept his own nerdiness and geekiness a secret. "Dance revolution, do you mean? That's a good system, too. What other games do you have? Perhaps we could play together" THere was no way Connor would ever play a dancing game-he had enough trouble dancing in real life. That thought brought back the memory of the schools dance last year, just in the beginnings of what could be considered his courtship of Kijani.
As she pulled away, Connor slid his hand down to hers, taking it, simply wanting that contact. "Sure, Iam always happy to help"
Kalinda, Kyle, Phoebe, Bruce wayne
Kyle grabbed a coke and a ready to go sandwhich. Then he paused and grabbed four more. He sat with Kalinda and eagerly drank and eat. He paused for a moment when he saw Kalinda look at him.
"What,"Kyle asked in between bites of food
," Look I have a high metabolism and I am very active. I require lots of food."Kalinda just smiled, and chewed her pizza, before saying
"It wasn't' that. I was just thinking how adorbale you are" She said quite truthfully, takng a drink of her coke,
"And that I think I should make sure the dorm kitches are stocked fully" She added with a small laugh.
Kyle nodded and took sip of his coke as well.
"Why? Plan on having me over in your room for extended periods of timeohmygodiwaskiddingimsorry."Kyle blushed feriously and took a big bite of his food. He seened to get either brave or stupid when he talked to Kalinda. He looked away.
"Well" She said, givign a shrug,
"maybe, joke or not, I like having you around" She said, giving him a smile, finishing off her pizza.
"Of course, I don't eat meat, but I know how to cook it" She said, musingly as she watched Kyle.
Kyle blushed a bit more and laughed. He finished his food and talked more with Kalinda, making jokes about how he was very pro meat, against eating plants. He made a joke about not killing innocent plants which amused Kalinda. When Kyle and Kalinda both finished, they left the cafeteria. He grabbed Kalindas hand and intertwined their fingers.
"I actually dont know where the Principals office is. Can you show me?"Kalinda nodded, taking the lead. The principle's office wasn't a place she visited, but Kalinda knew the way from her wanderings around the school. She wasn't surprised when she felt two sets of emotions within the room still, and knocking on the door, she heard voices cut, and within a moment, the door opened, revealing Bruce Wayne, and behind him Phoebe.
She looked to Kyle, for him to take over from here, as she stepped back silent.
Kyle was so excited to see his grandpa, he momentarily did not see Phoebe. He coughed slightly, walked forward, and hugged Bruce. He held it for a second then took a step away.
"Hey Grandpa! Whats up? Long time no see!"Phoebe glanced up as there was a knock on the door, and when her father went to answer it, she quickly slipped her files into a folder, out of site. As a boy she recognised from power development hugged her father, she frowned slightly, and when he called him grandpa, she was thoroughly confused. Glancing around her father, she saw Kalinda, which just made her even more puzzled.
[color=8dc73f]["Um. Hi?"/color]
Her father stepped back from Kyle, after returning the hug. Bruce looked to Phoebe, realising he had a bit of explaining to do. He hadn't yet got around to telling her about Kyle, and would have done so after they had discussed things, but that was out the window now with Kyle's arrival. [b]"I'm well Kyle. Phoebe, this is Dick Grayson's son, Kyle. Kyle, my daughter Phoebe. You may come in, Miss Roth" Phoebe could the puzzelment in her fathers voice, as if he was wondering why Kalinda was there. She was, too.
Kalinda hesitated, before entering the office, glancing about, not meeting Bruce's gaze, nor Phoebes. It was perhaps the first time she had shown nervousness.
Kyle could tell Kalinda was nervous, and he had a feeling if he wasnt himself he might be too. Kyle touch Kalindas elbow, and then held her hand in his hand and squeezed gently. He looked at Bruce, then at Phoebe. He put on his smile and gave her a two finger salute.
"Hey nice to meet you. Its good to put a live conversation and interaction to the million of files on the batcaves supercomputer. I saw you in class I think. Sorry if you were embaressed of my fight, I swear I actually have skill. Mimic was insane to fight."Kyle looked at Bruce.
"Grandpa, what was with that attack earlier?"Kalinda drew comfort from Kyle's touch, but she still felt like she didn't belong in what was clearly a family reunion, no matter how odd.
"No, no, you faught well. Mimic is always hard to beat the first time round. I think it was a few moments before I managed to do it, and that was only after I learned how to petrify my plants" Phoebe said, immedaitely going to reassure Kyle,
"on our first fights the only one that truly beat Mimic was Sue and that's because she practically tore the room down with her sound""Which is why the room now has technology within it to prevent powers effecting the outside environment" Bruce said
"Which was never tested against Sue again, but it holds up well for now" Phoebe said with amusement, going over to Kyle, she gave him and Kalinda a smile. She remembered her own first day well enough. She hadn't been at the school but five minutes when she had run into Ryan. Sometimes it felt like they never stopped running together, but then Ryan was the son of flash.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Kyle. You don't' need powers to be great here. After all, Dad had gadgets and skill that wasn't related to powers"As Kyle asked about the attack, Bruce gave a sigh.
"That was a graduate of the school who...may not have been quite honest with us. You are, I'm sure, aware of her illusionary powers. She does also have telekensis. She used both those to get past Charles, and was allowed to graduate" He said, weary.
"That's all I can tell you right now. There will be an assemble after classes to discuss the rest"Kyle nodded at everything that was said, and he acted like he knew anything about what Bruce was saying.
"Well...thats ok. We will kick her ass either way. I may need to borrow my dads Batman costume you wont mind right old timer?"Kyle chuckled and winked at his grandpa. Then he looked at Phoebe.
"Yea, my super hero name is "Boy Wonder". I am gonna be a bigger star-,"Kyle spoke and as he did he had let go of Klainda. He began throwing his hands around and started acting theatric.
,"- In the world. The world will shower eachother when they hear my name, and when I get older and better like my dad when he was Robin, I will adapt a new persona and be even more famous than Batman."Phoebe gave a smile, and a small laugh
"Well, you're going to have to fight me for that right." She said,
"But it's good to have a challenge, right?" Shifting, Phoebe began to put her files back into her pack, knowing Gym would be soon,
"You can develop your own costume here, you know. Mimic gives us time during some of his classes to do so. Part of the whole power developmet thing-although I think it should be more persona development, but thats just me. I''m working on mine, my friend Katherin is helping me, if you wanted to check it out" She looked back over to Kyle, and Kalinda, with another smile.
"But isn't yours already finished, Kalinda?"Kalinda seemed a little shocked to be addressed, and she bit her lip, [color=f6989d]"yeah, but I think I've finally found my Alias, and...I might change it slightly"{/color]
Phoebe smiled brightly,
"That's great!. Hey, I don't want to be late for gym, but I have a place just in the city if you guys wanted to come round, I can cook, and there will be plenty of food. Ryan eats a ton. And maybe by then we can discuss what happened"Kyle looked at Kalinda..
"You already do? I didnt know that. What is it?"Kalinda shifted nervously. She hadn't shown anyone her super garb yet, and was pretty sure it was lame in anycase. She gave a soft sigh and said
:It much looks like a blackbird, but I was thinking of putting some colour into it. I'm a good sewer and...well, it's just a prototype. I'm using normal fabric right now, but when I went into Stark Tower during the holidays, I asked Connor about some light weight resistance fabric, that wouldn't hinder my flight, and wouldn't be bulky, and he seems to think it can be done. And once I've finished, I can give it to the school, do use the proper materials and have it completed"Kyle grinned and started to get excited.
"That sound awesome! Mine was just gonna be my old acrobatics uniform with maybe a black jacket and a utility belt. My dad did that, or something similiar with his Robin costume right Grandpa Bruce?"Bruce nodded, taking the files Phoebe gave him,
"He did, yes. You might want to make it more unique though. You need to keep your daily life seperate, after all Bruce said, although this was something he had told Kyle before.
Phoebe slung her pack over her shoulder, saying
"Well, I'm going to go find Katherin and tsura, and get something to eat before Gym, I'll see you guys there"it didn't seem prudent to say that they might not make it to gym, so Kalinda just nodded, giving Phoebe a wave goodbye.
"Later cousin!"Kyle waved off Phoebe, then tilted his head ever so slightly. Did she think they were cousins too? I mean Bruce wasnt his uncle by blood but he and Kyle had a bond as deep as he and his father did, and as deep as Bruce and Kyles father did. He looked at Bruce.
"Gramps, you think Phoebe see's me as family too? From what I gathered when I hacked the Batcaves computer you didnt see her much when she was a kid."Bruce gave a soft sigh,
"No, i didn't see much of Phoebe. I watched her from afar. Her mother and I decided that was for the best. Even in her first year here, I didn't tell her I was her father. Perhaps because I was afraid of what she would think of me.
Phoebe will see you as family, simply because that's the way she is. She is always trying to do right by others. You should accept her offer for dinner, tonight"Kyle looked at Kalinda, then shrugged at Bruce.
"I might just do that. Would love for a good old family sit down. It was good talking to you Grandpa but we gotta get going now. Oh and by the way Dad says sorry again for breaking that vase when he threw his NightWing batons when we ended up training in the middle of dinner last time we came over."Kyle quickly hugged Bruce, then grabbed Kalinda's hand and slightly speed walked out of Bruces office.
Kalinda let out a relieved breath
"I thought I'd just wait outside. I didn't expect to be invited in She said, glancing back and making sure the door to Bruce Wayne's office was shut.
"I've never even spoken to him before thisKyle laughed and playfully shover Kalinda with his free hand.
"Grandpa Bruce is a nice guy, he just cant throw away the Batman part of him. He just has that Ill beat the crap out of you look etched on his face forever."As they walked away, Kyle began playfully swinging his and Kalinda's arm as they held hands.
"So Kalinda.......Wanna be my date to either Gym class or the skipping of gym class?"Kalinda smiled, then said resignedly
"We should go to class. First day an all" She gave a shrug,
"And it is compulsary" but she gave a smile, and said [color=f6989d]"But I'll go with you either way"
Kyle gave her hand a slight squeeze, then walked towards the gymnasium.
