Connor smiled and laughed "that's true" he said, "but two days for throwing food? Harsh!" Still he laughed, "w-everyone will just have to keep you busy so you don't go nuts without them like you said"

Kalinda grinned, this would be a first. She had never actually used the shadows on someone else before. "Don't worry. It will be great. Everything is darker in the shadows though so watch where you step" she started towards the school building

KatherinWinter said
"We can. I choose not to look in when I am in charge. Too distracting. I can not do my job if I am distracted. Zack will miss her company." Even as Griffin spoke to the girl he was locking Zack within.

"She still speaks mentally. I am sure she will still be around" Phoebe said feeling guilty, her anger at them gone now.

Bruce nods, "More or less. John is in a bit of a unique situation. He likes to fight without using his powers, but not against people that wouldn't stand a chance. That's why he tried to pick a fight with you,. and basically kept Connor away from the real fight. Even without his powers, he's so much bigger and stronger than most of the other students that he has to fight kids with enhanced strength like you for it to be fair at all. The fact that he picked you means that he both respects the fact that you're a skilled fighter and the fact that you're strong. As far as John is concerned, that's one of the highest forms of respect he can show. I won't force you to become his training partner, but I think it's a good idea. I believe you could both benefit. You're dismissed. John, report to Xavier."

[KatherinWinter]

"She can speak but Zack will not hear her. I will lock him down so he hears, see, and feels nothing. Until I am sure he is safe." Griiffin shook his head. "I will take no chances. Zack must be protected."

[MarshiestMallow]

"I think that is a shame. Estella has no one here who understands the whole telepathy thing, as I assume you and sack speak inside your head? I think it would be beneficial for all three of you. But I won't tell you what to do. Again, I am sorry. Really" Phoebe aaid

[KatherinWinter]

"I do not speak within. Zack like having Estella to talk to while inside. Do not appologize to me. I am glad to know there the truth. Zack can not be allowed to be hurt. Even if it means he must spend weeks locked in nothingness."Griffin shrugged. He was more concerned about his failure to protect Zack then the girls appology.

[MarshiestMallow]

"But....isn't confining him hurting him more? Weeks of nothingness can't be very good. I understand the need to protect. I would protect Ryan, Sue, and all my friends from just about anything." Phoebe said thoughtfully, "I am sorry if this is rude, but you might be hurting him more than if he deals with it now, rather than later"

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin listened to him, blinking in surprise. Respect? Training partners? Him? He nodded slowly then rose to his feet as he was dismissed. No punishment? His confusion was apparent on his face. He then said," I would be interested in being his training partner. I believe it would held me find my balance between my instincts and proper fighting." This was a shocking turn of events, but now that he completely understood John's reasoning, he changed his opinion of him. At least enough to make him think he could handle dealing with John now.

Griffin tilted his head in consideration. He knew Zack hated lockdown, but he hadn't really thought about it. "Yes I am hurting him. But is the only way to really protect him. Zack is too innocent and kind. Mother says it is my job to not allow others to hurt him."

Kalinda grinned, this would be a first. She had never actually used the shadows on someone else before. "Don't worry. It will be great. Everything is darker in the shadows though so watch where you step" she started towards the school building

"Yeah, it's kinda harsh. I mean, you shouldn't have been punished at all." Kijani reached out and touched his face, very gently. "Is your face hurting at all? Maybe we should get some ice on it or something."

Devika nodded and got up as well, taking her tray to a nearby garbage can before she followed along behind Kalinda. She was somewhere between excited and nervous- she'd never seen anyone else with visible magic up close before. This was going to be interesting.

[MarshiestMallow]

"But you just said you are hurting him" Phoebe said "if your mother says you have to protect him from others hurting him, technically, you are an 'other'. Griffin, sometimes you cant protect against or prevent everything from Happening. It will get you killed, and then, essentially, it will get Zack killed. You worry about hurting him, what about yourself?"

---

Connor swallowed lightly, "uh...it ah, feels pretty good at the moment.....uh." He could feel himself blush, but didn't turn away. "Actually ice might be good. But we shouldn't anger the batman more. Let's get our punishments first"

Kalinda smiled, and when they neared the class rooms, took devil as hand, wrapping them brh in shadows "ready?"

You worry about hurting him, what about yourself?"

Griffin tilted his head again. He had not thought of this. If he was injured and killed then Zack would die. "I do not know. I do not feel the same way Zack does. I do not feel at all. That is Zack's purpose. I must think of this. I must protect Zack or I serve no purpose. Mother says that each personality as a purpose. Without a purpose I might not exist."

[MarshiestMallow]

"Everyone does require a purpose" Phoebe agreed, looking at the front "we probably should be listening to this lecture" but she shrugged "just don't get yourselves killed and you should be fine until you decide" she smiled kindly

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin turned his attention to the teacher, but his thoughts were not on the lecture. He was failing Zack and he had no idea how to fix it. How could he protect him without locking him within? Griffin did not know whether to thank the girl for her insight or to hate her for confusing him.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe settled back, opening her laptop and taking notes. She felt she had merely caused trouble on top of trouble for Zack and Griffen. She sighed, and was glad when te class was drawing to an end.

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin didn't leave as soon as class was over. His thoughts had been else where. He did know what to do about the problem the girl presented him. He would have to email mother and ask her advice, but he wasn't sure she could advice them since she didn't coexist with her other personalities. Griffin left the classroom deep in though.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe left, packing up her laptop, and went looking for Ryan. History had, as she predicted, been somewhat boring while it was interesting. She took her hair out its pony tail, running her fingers through it. Maybe she should get a hair cut as well. But she liked it long, so she shrugged that thought away, tying it back up as she looked for Ryan.

Kalinda smiled, and when they neared the class rooms, took devil as hand, wrapping them brh in shadows "ready?"

"Right." Kijani saw him beginning to blush, and realized belatedly that she was being rather touchy-feely. She quickly dropped her hand and coughed in an embarrassed way. "So... is Daddy Stark gonna be upset that you got into a fight?"

---

Devika looked around, getting nervous as everything sort of went dark and fuzzy around them. "Ready. Lead the way."

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor now glanced away, taking a deep breath, "are you kidding? Not once has he been called up because I was in trouble. To be told I was in a fight? Well, he will probably be proud" he said and he smiled slightly, thinking about what his fathers reaction would be "he has always said I spent too much time shut off from the world"

---

Kalinda led the way into a classroom, listening to what was being discussed, finding it was history, slipped out heading to another class room. "Tell me when you want to stop"

After all the excitement Estella went to the history course. Learning about her new home always fascinated her. There was a ton of information to learn about Earth. Any time period was fine. She was going to learn all about this place. As much as she could.
