[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani winced in sympathy, remembering too late that Connor had been tossed around pretty well during the fight. When Austin knocked, she gulped slightly and lowered her voice. "This is unreal... this has never happened to me before." She'd never been caught before.

Devika could feel when Kalinda's control was back, and she nodded. "Good." The cafeteria seemed to have died down, emotion wise. "I hope the rest of my day isn't so...volatile."

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor looked up, and found himself actually completely at ease. He cursed himself mentally. This was the time he decided to act like his father? He cleared his throat, then said, "I asked John to stop, he didn't, brought me into it, because Austin is my best friend. I admit I childishly threw my food back at him. Ut if someones going to try and goad my friend, I am not going to sit back and watch" Connor forced himself to look away now that he had spoken.

********

"Me too" kalinda agreed, leaning back, looking up at the sky

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani quieted as they entered the office, letting Connor say his piece. She was happy to see him so confident.

---

Devika settled back to eat now that things had gotten quiet. "So, what sort of classes do they have here?"

[Klyix]

Looking at the clock and assuming they still ran on the same schedule, Kat realised there was not much of lunch left. So she leaned up against a wall - planning to follow someone when it came to class - and idly watched as one of the students took it upon themselves to begin to clean up after the fight. However she couldn't ignore the eyes she felt fixed on her. With a sigh she said "You are not half so subtle as you like to think you are." Moving her gaze to look at Jessica she met her eyes, not in a challenging manner but just as if she was simply stating fact.

(Dizzy, you do realize that he's talking to Batman, right?)

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda thought for a moment, "a little bit of everything, it seems. Morality, chemistry, gadgets, espionage, hunting, suit building, mental development...the onkys onces we have to go to apparently are gym and power development, which is next up I think, and in a few minutes"

[knight125]

Anthony had watched the whole fight, showing only mild interest. When Kat makes her "grand" entrance, all the sight is rewarded with is a slight eyebrow raise on Anthony's part. He stands, places his tray in the tray return, and leaves the cafeteria.

((Uh... no I did not. *goes to edit*))

[knight125]

Bruce nods, "That's respectable. Ms. Ryane?"

[knight125]

(Such a weak post, but I'm trying to hurry up and get all four to tell their sides)

[Mistress Dizzy]

knight125 said

Kijani cleared her throat and looked Bruce Wayne in the eyes. "Well, sir. I didn't step in until John threw the first punch, so to speak. If you want my opinion, people like John need to be taught that their actions aren't going to go unpunished, that they can't just do whatever they like because they think being physically strong makes them better, or above the rules. Unfortunately, the only option that someone like that can understand is more violence, so... I gave him a nosebleed after he threw Connor across a table and hit him in the face." She was glad to hear her voice wasn't shaking. There was a lot of anger lying underneath those words. Mostly because she knew that John hadn't been taught a thing at all, and that this behavior was bound to continue unless they found a way to stop it for good.

[knight125]

(I'll be back in about 30 minutes)

[Dioxide]

Sue

Sue watched as the fight built up tension and the crowd started gathering. She recognized her friends, and then some, and would have gladly broken up the fight with a sonic clap but there were too many people there. She was not going to be a factor at all. Everyone was taller than her, being just 5’3”. Connor got taller too, of all people, and Sue forgot just how monstrously tall John was.

John, the one that just woke up from a coma recently, Sue remembered she still needed to apologize to him, but not now. This was too much and Sue felt helpless

Then a large beast came rampaging its way towards the cafeteria and it was so cool. Sue was not afraid, more interested to see more of the creature. It had come to the new girl and she was ecstatic to know more about her new schoolmate. She watched the beast in scrutiny as she took a bite of her cold food.

The PA system sounded, and the students that caused the fight were asked to the principal’s office. She missed Batman – Sue found him charming under that scary demeanour.

The students still distracted, Sue simply left silently to her class with Iron Fist.

Iron Fist

“Hello Sue, please, sit.”

Sue and Iron Fist had made it a standard routine over the past few months to have sessions with each other on the control of Sue’s emotions during the usage of her power. It was during these sessions when Iron Fist exercised her by trying to control the direction and size of Sue’s sonic waves. Eventually, Sue managed to do air slices but sharply twisting her head and adjusting the volume of her headphones simultaneously. The velocity of the gust of air coupled with the shape and pressure of the particulates of said air gust made it almost sharp and could produce blunt force trauma.

What was learnt during these sessions was practiced during Power Development with Mimic and Sue was a slow developer. She had to be because of the passive nature of her ability. She was still scared of what she could do if she ever lost control. She wasn’t as afraid compared to when she first arrived, but that’s only because her friends started adapting to her. No one properly understood Sue and therefore she is still a sonic bomb waiting to explode in a major human population.

This was what Iron Fist and everyone feared and tried to avoid. That was why these sessions were absolutely necessary.

“As usual, let us breathe in and out and then we’ll pick off where we left off.”

And so they did for the next hour.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe was glad to go to the next class. Lunch had been way too eventful. She hoped Connor and Austin would get in too much trouble as she picked up her laptop, heading to the history class. She found it very interesting, if so ewhat boring in delivery. She supposed you couldn't make history exciting, except if it was actually happening right then and there.

there was an idea. She wondered if there was someway to experience what it was like. That would be cool.

**********************

When it appeared lunch was over kalinda sighed, standing, "what class do you want to go to?" She asked

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin heard about the fight in the cafeteria. She was glad that she had decided to eat off campus. She wasn't ready to deal with another fight.

---

Griffin watched the fight with interest. He had thought of jumping in, but it hadn't involved him or anyone that was at a disadvantage. Once the fighters had been called to the principles office Griffin released Zack from lock down. He thought about letting him take control of the body again. Griffin wasn't use to being in charge so long and he found it tiring. But he was still unsure of their welcome and he would not let Zack be hurt. With that though Griffin drifted to class because Zack insisted they should. Griffin chose to go to history class because their father always said those who don't learn from history will repeat it. Griffin had no intention of repeating previous mistakes.

[SomeoneSomewere]

Jessica spoke," I'm not trying to be secretive Kat. Deceit is more on your side of the family." She smiled kindly at her before quickly finishing her food and tossing her trash away.

Austin glanced at the chairs before slowly taking a seat. The chair was going to be soaking wet by the time they were done. As the others spoke, and he waiting for his turn, he gazed at his claws. His hands quivered, realizing how much he resorted to his primal instincts during that fight. He retracted his claws, gazing at the ground quietly as he waited for his turn. He was truly out to kill John during that fight. He swallowed, knowing he probably had other parts of his body with blood on it. He glanced at Connor, worried for his well being. He hoped that no serious damage was dealt to him.

[knight125]

Batman returns Kijani's glare and replies, "Ms. Ryane, would you like to know two other things that are not acceptable at my school? Constantly trying to convince others that they're somehow inferior to everyone else, and petty grudges. I believe it was you that reprimanded John for the way he was treating his 'betters'? Dr. McCoy told me about the little spat that you two had in gym today, and that makes it quite obvious why you tried to put yourself into the fight. Your motive wasn't noble like Connor's attempt to defend a friend, yours was completely selfish. All you wished to accomplish was getting back at John for arguing with you in gym. Because of that, your punishment will be nearly as severe as his. Brock, please explain to the others what mental restrictions are."

John groans and explains to the others, "Mental restrictions are one of the most severe punishments at the Academy, second only to expulsion. Professor Xavier puts a mental block on the part of your brain that controls your powers. If you don't have powers, and instead rely on martial arts or gadgetry, he temporarily erases your memory of them. Either way, you end up like an average human until the punishment period is up."

"Thank you, Mr. Brock. You are to be restricted for two weeks. Ms. Ryane, you'll be restricted for one week. Connor, you'll be restricted for two days. Connor and Kijani, report to Charles' class immediately and tell him my decision. If I find that you never went to him, or that you lied about the punishment lengths, you will seriously regret it. Get going. John, you will remain here so I can speak to you and Austin alone."

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor wanted to stay and wait for Austin, but he sighed and got up, giving Austin a pat on tne back for reassurance. He left, feeling it orudent to so so. He looked back at the door as he started to walk away, sighing again. Well. Restriction wasn't so bad. It wasnt like he had powers and he didnt really know how to fight before coming here.

it would be just like going back nearly six months ago. For two days. Noo so bad, except it was. Coming here had been the best thing for him, and now for two days part of it will be missing? It was worse for kijani, and for Austin he suspected, he suddenly stopped, and turned to wait for kijani too.

*****

phoebe saw the guy from gym before. Zack? She hesitated, sitting down, but didnt approach him she found she was actually still mad for being accused of bullyin

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani made a scoffing noise, her mouth dropping open. "I did want to help Connor! If I taught that asshole a lesson that everyone else seems to have missed, then that's all the benefit for the world." She rose and headed out of the classroom, head held high. That lasted all of a minute, before she started shaking. "Oh god, I just told off the freaking Batman. Oh god." He had been wrong about her motives. Well, half wrong. She really had intended to help Connor, but Mr. Wayne had been absolutely right in stating that her motive wasn't noble, not entirely. But still, who was he to judge her? He didn't know her!

Then again, he was Batman, he probably knew more about her than she wanted...

She groaned and buried her face in her hands. "Great... This just ruins everything." Missing a week of training was bad enough. Luckily she could work on her sword and fighting without the use of her powers. But it did interrupt her plans with Connor. She didn't realize she'd been looking forward to it until now.

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin saw a girl in the class. He didn't know anything about girls. He wanted to ignore her. You can't ignore everyone. Say hello. Grumpling under his breath Griffin sits next to the girl. "Hello."
