[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin laughed. She didn't understand how you could forget how young they all were. All you had to do was look around. Some of the students were more mature then others. But Katherin always found that superkids struggled with maturity more then normals. Maybe it was because they had to deal with powers on top of everything else. "You're probably right."

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe laughed, " of course I am. I am always right!" She said this jokingly, happily.

Kyra walked around, looking for her friends.

Illumi and Kurapika walked around, talking with each other.

Estella nodded to what Griffin said and took his hand to lead him to the next class.

Griffin uncertainly. He didn't want to like the strange girl that had invaded their mind. But so far she was the only one who hadn't judged them for being different. Maybe because she herself was different. Griffin decide he would give this girl to prove herself.

Sue

Announcement

The PA system announces, "Next class begins in five minutes."

Sue heard the announcement from outside the silent room Iron Fist and her were in. Even the silent hum of the heater that warmed the room was still amplified by Sue’s ability, so the announcement was easily heard.

Sue was in a yoga position, legs apart and straight, her body bent forward, inhaling and exhaling at a calm, relaxed rate, Iron Fist mirroring her.

“Time for class, Sue. I’ll see you tomorrow. Good job, you’re doing well.”

Sue stood back straight and flashed her teeth in a grin. She waved goodbye and grabbed her bag near the door and proceeded to go to the next class… which should be Power Development! Oh, her favourite, she skipped a step in exhilaration.

She arrived to the class, and saw her friends Phoebe and Katherin. She walked over to where they were, and Sue reserved her own just a seat ahead, her bag placed to mark her territory, as Sue sat on Phoebe’s desk.

”Remember! Tonight!” she signed to Phoebe. It was warm in the classroom, so she took off her beanie and shook wildly her mane of long crimson red hair. In fact, her hair was not entirely red; during zygote formation, a mixture of combination of alleles, or in this case codes of DNA gave way to infinite combinations of the genotype of the cell, and in this case its phenotype, its outer look. Sue’s hair in its deepest layer was blond and in some areas blended with the red to make orange. It’s not obvious since it was deep down in the layers of her hair but when she shook her hair around people would easily see it.

Charles nods, "One week? That won't be so bad. Now, along with your powers, you're going to forget the martial art that you've been creating." Just as he had with Connor, Charles motions Kijani closer and places his hands on her head. He closes his eyes for about thirty seconds as he puts the mental blocks up, then opens them and laughs, "I'm sorry Kijani, but I need you to tell Connor something. Once your punishment period is up, you'll have to return to me in order to have the restrictions removed. Have a lovely day, Ms. Ryane."

Batman finished reading the letter a dozen times and sighs deeply, "I can't let her know about this." He expertly reseals the letter and places it in a safe behind his desk, then leaves the Academy to attend the funeral of Commissioner Gordon.

John finds his way to Professor X, and after a short lecture about finding self control, has the restrictions placed on him. Finally, he casually strolls to Rankin's class.

Ben, alone once again after the fight, makes his way to Power Development and sits in the back.

Anthony passed Mr. Wayne while on the way to class, and smiles as Bruce leaves the Academy. "Finally! I was beginning to think he never left!" He peeks into the Academy's main office, and is surprised to see that Ms. Gordon was also missing. "Well that's odd. Is there a party I don't know about?" He walks through the main office and pauses just outside of Batman's office, savoring the fact that he was sneaking into the place where all the decisions were made. Not only was this the office where Batman made the decisions about the Academy, but it was also where he met with some of the other most important men and women of the metahuman community. Anthony sits on a chair and unclasps a few hardly noticeable latches on his dress shoes, and slid a thin layer off the bottom. Inside the hollow, hidden compartments of his shoes, Anthony pulls out a device that appears to be a pen, a bag of graphite powder, a small brush, and a very pale, lifelike, collapsible model of a human hand. With his tools in hand, Anthony enters Batman's office, secure in the fact that there wouldn't be any security cameras. After all, why take the risk that someone would be able to hack into the video feed, and see the private meetings? Anthony sets his tools on Batman's desk and scans the room for a moment, wondering how much he could take without it being missed. He opens the bag of graphite powders and sprinkles some over the white keys of Bruce's computer, then gently uses the brush to move any excess powder onto the desk. Anthony uses his phone to take a picture of the fingerprints that appear on the keyboard, which his phone then analyzes to determine which prints belong to Bruce's right hand. He plugs the phone into the model of a hand, whose surface comes alive as it mimics both Bruce's fingerprints and approximate skin tone. Anthony places the hand on the security scanner of Bruce's safe, which whirs for a moment before popping open. To prevent himself from forgetting to cover his tracks, Anthony presses the top of the pen-like device, which turns out to be a miniature vacuum. He methodically sucks up all trace of the graphite powder, then returns all of his tools to their place in his shoes. Anthony pulls a pair of gloves out of his pocket and slips them on before leafing through the documents contained within the safe. He snaps pictures of the ones he finds useful, and is about to close the safe when he sees an envelope addressed to Phoebe. Spotting an opportunity to gain some favor, he sticks it in his pocket before closing the safe and leaving the office. From start to finish, the "heist" took but five minutes. Anthony takes off his gloves as he hurriedly makes his way to Mimic's class.

Phoebe smiled and nodded "Ryan and I will go on our date after class, and be back in time to cut your hair" she signed back, "if I am not back when you come round, my dorm room will be open, just go in and make yourself at home"

Kalinda led the way to the power development class, and was going to go sit I'm the back, but a boy was sitting in a seat she would normally have chosen. She blinked, and then moved to a chair nearby

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani winced as she felt the power leave her. It wasn't that it had hurt, but it felt like a piece of her was just missing. Like it had been when she was 11... she just couldn't feel her powers anymore. It was disconcerting, to say the least. "Hey, Connor, I'll see you in class. Mr. Xavier, I'll see you Wednesday as usual." She left the room and jogged lightly on her way to class, feeling a little strange, like her body wasn't hers. She came in and settled in the back.

(I apologize Caits, I can't find where we left Devika so I'm going forward.)

Devika made it to Power Development class, very unsure of what she should expect. But she sat down anyway, up near the front so that she could pay attention.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor watched her go, shoved his hands in his pockets and started to leave. He still had his mind, so it wasn't like anything powerful had been lost to him. For kijani, it was. He looked back "I guess I'll be back in two days after classes" he said

((That's okay. I led Kalinda there already))

[knight125]

Ben glances to the side as an unfamiliar face sits next to him. "Hi," he smiles as he extends a hand, "are you new here? I don't remember seeing you in here before."

Anthony and John arrive at Mimic's class and sit down, Anthony in his usual front, right corner of the room, and John in the center.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda blinked, then politely smiled in return, taking his hand, "yes, I am. I'm Kalinda" she said "brand new as of...I don't know twenty minutes into that gym class? Dodgeball a were flying"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika looked sideways to Ben, adjusting her pince nez and shaking her head. "Yep, I'm new. Devika. And your name?" At least people seemed friendly here. It was a nice change from her university.

[knight125]

(Lol, well this is awkward, but Ben was talking to Kalinda. Nevertheless, he'll greet both)

Ben laughs, "What a wonderful time to walk in. Honestly, it was pure chaos. Whoever came up with that idea must be completely off their rocker." He turns to Devika and grins, "I'm Ben. It seems like all of a sudden, we're having a rush of new people. Maybe ol' Bats finally did the commercial I've been begging him to do."

[Dioxide]

Mimic

The winged man entered the classroom, flaunting egregiously his movements as though it were a bad Vaudeville movie in sepia brown.

“Alright, you lot. We have come a long way from destroying the room and the very building we stood in…” he eyed Sue with a glare like a hawk, “But the room’s since been rebuild and five months later we’re still alive! We’ve learnt our lessons and we’ve been working hard.”

“So how about a game? I call this one Show and Tell.”

“Choose Show and you show me a new ability technique that you’ve learnt and we will expand on it; bring it to practical use!”

He paused for dramatic effect and a breath.

“Choose Tell and you try your best to take me down through a series of death traps!”

He ended that last bit with a smile.

“Katherin, you first!” he pointed at her energetically.

“Oh, and we made the TV monitor bigger for you all to watch. Let’s go, ice popsicle!” as he switched on the TV revealing the grey room, and a second later Mimic appeared on the screen, standing in the middle.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda grinned, "it took me six months to finally convince my mothe to let me come" she said, falling silent as the teacher spoke

Connor jogged down the hall knowing he was late, but not particularly caring at the moment. He opened the door and went in

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin panicked. First! Why did she have to go first? She wasn't ready! Still it was winter. Already Katherin could feel the arctic wind whispering to her. Reluctantly she followed Mimic to the other room. Katherin had to think quick to come up with something to use. "I will show you....umm... hail stones?"

Reluctantly she followed Mimic to the other room. Katherin had to think quickly to come up with something to use. "I will show you....umm... hail stones?"

Mimic’s eyebrow arched. “Okay then, icing syrup. Make it rain.” He tucked his wings in, bracing the impact of painful hail.

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin glared at Mimic, but took a deep breath. She cold do this. Hailstones were like snow only harder. Katherin let the winter fill her. The tempture in the room dropped ten degrees. Katherin focused her attention on her opponent. She imagined small hard balls of ice falling quick and hard. What she got was more like ice cycles that were sharp.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani groaned weakly, burying her face in her hands. She didn't know how she was expected to go to class and participate without her powers. It didn't seem at all fair... she'd learned plenty, but there was nothing she could show now that she was under punishment. She couldn't even show them how she'd learned to fight... somehow her body just wouldn't move correctly. Maybe she could get excused.

---

Devika smiled, then silenced as the teacher with wings entered the room. Her attention was riveted, immediately. She'd never met an obvious mutant before, though she knew they existed. She certainly wasn't going to follow this man into any death traps, but... what could she possibly show? She didn't use her powers for a reason...
