Jessica nodded as he explained who he was and after he finished she said," seems our reasons for coming are basically opposite of each other. And lunch? Yes that would be fantastic if you could take me there. Still working out the map." She walked towards the door, her prized possession held tightly in hand. At least she could never loose this. A very, very good thing, since she tended to lose things rather easily.

Matt looked at her. "What you did not want to come here? My dad made it clear he did not want me here. Heck the only reason I'm here is cause my mom's a teacher. She convinced him to let me come. " He shrugged. "Whatever. Here we are. " He said arriving at the cafeteria. "So get whatever you want. Can I meet you at one of the tables?" He asked not knowing anyone. He grabbed a sandwich and some chili. It did not taste like home... Oddly he was homesick.

Jack laughed. "Uhh spoilers! I've already forgotten. I heard that suit you and dad are working on is coming out nicely. " He said hearing Ben talk about it a few days ago. "You know I won't call you older than me..." He joked taking a bite of his food. This was oddly okay. "It's Katherin. You know Iceman's daughter? I've been teaching her some new moves. Not like that..." He said knowing what Ben would say. "We are going to find that girl for you. Don't say anything, bro. "

Ryan sat down. "I'll make sure to get you home in time to cut Sue's hair. I'm not letting you two do mine. " He joked. He started to eat his food. Well the three pbj and banana sandwiches. "So how was chemistry?" He asked Phoebe.

[knight125]

Ben had opened his mouth to make a quip about Jack teaching Katherine new moves, but then change his mind and instead says, "Yeah, it's gonna be a pretty badass piece of equipment. And don't worry about finding me a girl. I'm in no rush. Hey, have you noticed how awkward it's been between Anthony and that hot red head? You think they did it?"

John notices Austin's look of anger and grins. He throws a chunk of his omelet at Austin and waits for a reaction.

Kalinda smiled, "yes, the last year has been extremely challange for me, I have had to learn control and fast, but it seems to get harder every day. So I begged my mother to come here I don't want my powers to control me"she found herself laughing, "I came in on gym. Dodgeball, so emotions were pretty high there. Besides the sport stuff, there were a few awkward emotions from guys watching the girls. Needless the say, I quickly developed my blocks. It is hard surrounded by people to maintain them though"She brushed her dark hair back, her green eyes shining with mirth, perhaps the only emotion she had that didntseem to want to destrory her was joy. she hadnt had much opportunity for It the last few months.

"I've got plenty of control, but... If you want the truth, it's hard. I have to watch myself, every day, every hour. I have to isolate myself, I can't go out with friends to certain places, I..." She shook her head, smiling and showing her dimples. "I started a bar fight, for crying out loud, an actual freaking bar fight." She shook her head, making her black curls dance. "I want to be normal. As far as I can be, anyway, with... whatever I am."

Jack nodded and thought for a second. "No rush. Okay. I'll keep my eye out then. Yah I did notice. You know I think something's up in there. I mean that Sue acts around him. Sue is the red head by the way. I think they have done. Hope she got over me. I think she might have had a crush on me in the first few days of school. " Jack mused hoping that she did not. That would be bad. Almost as bad in fact as a piece of omelet being thrown at Austin. Jack sensed a food fight close at hand. "That could be bad..."

Phoebe smiled, "I think the question is not what you didn't deserve me but what indidntondeseece you. Thank you" she said "we made slime. It was quite fun"

Connor see the food being thrown this time, and sighed "would you please stop throwing food at Austin? It really is quite childish"

Kalinda laughed even though she shouldn't "oh, you are worse then me. All I did was have a guy hit another guy. Of course then I pretty much isolated myself. I have learned control-wel not total control, over my own emotions. That helps. Normals over rated. But it still sucks that we have then potential to cause such major turmoil. How about we stick together? That way if one of us loses it, we can do something about it"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika nodded, feeling pleased about that. "That makes sense... I'd like a friend, especially someone who can understand." Kalinda was several years younger than she was, but Devika wasn't picky. Kalinda seemed like a nice girl who knew what it was like to have a power that could mess with other people, whether you wanted it to or not. With a smile, she dug into her lunch. "So, is this place mostly teenagers, or are there older people like me running around?"

[knight125]

John stands and nods as he replies to Connor, "Yeah, no problem Stark." He makes his way to the trashcan and scrapes the scraps off of his tray. He picks up a slice of chocolate pie and begins to walk back to his table. Then, as he passes Connor and Austin, he suddenly turns and smashes the pie into Connor's face. He chuckles, "Thanks for keeping me out of trouble little buddy." John then stands there, waiting for the scrawny nerd to do something.

(I just remembered how tall John is, and he's a freaking giant!)

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani laughed softly at Sue and signed back. "I would love to, but I already have plans. For once in my life." Any other day she would have been in her room, reading about something. But today she was spending time with another person. New and exciting!

"Hm. There seems to be a mixture. I am not too sure really. I have only talked woth you, and John-apparently he has been asked to help newbies" kalinda said, "age is just a number anyway" she shrugged, she knew that sometimes she herself appeared older than she was.

Connor calmly wiped the cake off hia face, then just as calmly stood up. People seemed to think that juat because he didn't have powers, didn't always were his suit, amd pretty much looked the part of 'geek' that he would just let things slid.

"You are never out of trouble, it appears" he said, standing to his full height, and with a jolt realised that at the begining of semester he had been several inches shorter than John, and he was now, it seemed, an couple inches.

Connor smiled a slow, easy smile. "Funny" and then, e in that same calm attitude, he picked up his own tray of food, and hurled it at John. There was a time to just sit back and let things slide. But john had thrown food at Austin first, obviously in an attemot to cause a fight. Picking on Austin was a sure fire way to get Connor riled as well.

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin watched the other boys throw food at each other. He did not know that was allowed, it seemed like something that would be frowned upon. But it looked like fun. Griffin picked up his tray,walked over and dumped it on Johns head. Zack whispered Oh no this isn't good.

[Avanhelsing]

Ryan saw the food fly. Great...."Looks like that Stark kid got himself in trouble. Shod we help?" Ryan asked. He had a bit of food ready to throw.

"Damn it..." Jack mumbled. Connor was screwed. "Should we help him? John isn't exactly stable. " He asked Ben wondering what they should do.

[knight125]

John decides to let the smaller kid get his shot in. The tray slams against John's face, then falls to the ground with a resounding crash. John's teeth grow noticeably sharper and his jaw elongates as a white, writhing film begins to cover his face. A freakishly long tongue emerges, licking John's entire face, neck, and upper torso to wipe off the food. John growls as his head returns to normal, "Delicious. You have fantastic taste." He shoves Connor backward over the cafeteria table and says, "You should mind your own business. It's been a while since I've sparred anyone in my normal body, that's why I want to fight kitty boy here. He's the only one who's strength level is about my own."

Ben stands slowly and leans against his table, watching the development. He shrugs and replies to Jack, "Not yet. I've had more classes with John, and he tends to only start fights with people that he thinks would stand a chance against him. The dude can bench 700 fucking pounds, without his powers! That's probably why he tried to start a fight with Austin, I think one of his powers is enhanced strength. As long as there aren't too many people ganging up on him, I think he'll refrain from using his powers."

[Mistress Dizzy]

All Kijani saw was a tray go flying at John. That made her smile, because the big lump probably had it coming for some reason or another. And then someone else got into it, and she already saw several boys getting ready to join.

"Are you serious?" She muttered softly. "I thought food fights only happened in bad 90's movies..."

--

Devika nodded a bit. "Well, I know age isn't such a big deal. It's just that I came from a university so I'm sort of used to hanging out with a crowd that's my age." Though she'd probably take a younger person who understood, than an older person who had no clue.

[KatherinWinter]

"Griffin is strong." Griffin was insulted that he was not thought of as worthy of a fight. Griffin this doesn't involve us.Back off. Griffin had not intention of listening to Zack. He would prove that he was worthy. Griffin shoved Zack back into lock down.

"Um. No, I dont think that would be wise...john looks a bit crazy" phoebe said, but she was reqdy to jump in and pull Connor out of there.

Connor remembered all the shoves, punches, trips, of highschool and his fists curled. "You try to annoy my friend, try to get him to fight, and you deal with me" he couldnt believe what he was saying. He stepped up, nudging his bag open, pleased his suit was in reach.

and tjen thought je was sick of being underestimated. But he wouldnt throw a punch, "you are arrogant, unlikeable, and actually, a horrible person." Connor was aware people were watching, and he squirmed, embarrassed.

"Yes. It is easoer to be around people older than me. Generally, teenagers emotions are so....so...virulent" kalinda said

[knight125]

John shakes his head and sighs as Connor balks, "It's ok Stark, you don't have to prove anything to anyone. Just sit down and let your friend fight his own battles, it's obvious that he needs to let off some steam."

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani got up and went to the edges of the growing crowd, watching Connor. Well, well. Don't underestimate the quiet ones... She didn't know he had that kind of ballsiness. But then he backed down, which was probably a good idea. Getting into a full-fledged fight with another student was probably enough to get him expelled, even if his dad was famous. Still, she was quite intrigued to watch him stand up for himself.

Devika laughed softly and shook her head. "Ugh, don't I know it! I was such a hermit as a teenager, because I couldn't keep my power under control. My parents had to do some creative storytelling, about some sort of allergy or something that prevented me from going to class in high school. The last time I went, I was 15 and I got picked on because I was fat- I made them cry. A lot. Didn't even touch them." She was still fat, but it had solidified into heavy, feminine curves that got her more appreciative looks nowadays. "So.. yeah, I'm a little wary about the younger set."

[MarshiestMallow]

"And its obvious you need to learn when to shut up" years of torment bottled up inside him that he had thought he had left behind cause his tone to be nasty, and he didn't like it. "If Austin wants to fight, fine. But I am not going to let you hurt him at all based on flying vegatables"

*******

Kalinda smiled. "teens are bickers. They are horrible human beings, and I am glad I am not like them" she said, "I guess I have a bit more control. My mother isnt exactly one for showing emotions, and I learned that trait from the time I could walk and talk. Never thought it would be useful until last year"

[knight125]

John chuckles, "You're the one that turned this whole thing nasty. I was more than prepared to have a friendly little fight, but you ruined that." He walks around the table and stands in front of Connor once again. He leans down so their faces are level and whispers, "If you want to do something, do it, if you think you can handle the consequences. Otherwise," John stands straight and backhands Connor hard, then continues loudly, "sit the Hell down!"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani was starting to get very angry, very quickly. While she hadn't dealt directly with a physical bully, she'd dealt with mental bullies all her life. She hated it. Someone needed to take this idiot down a peg. "Hey! Meathead!" The words were out of her mouth before she could stop them, and she was stepping forward.

"Do you always treat your betters like garbage? That's no way to show respect!"

---

"Lucky you." Devika murmured. "My mom's... normal. So is my father." She was adopted, but didn't want to mention that to a stranger. "But they roll with the punches, so they learned how to help me."
