[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

"I guess not" phoebe said with a frown, "I dont know. Part of me just wishes I could attack wkthout re orse. The rest of me is disgusted by tnat"

[KatherinWinter]

"It's ok to be diguested. I doubt may heros go home thinking 'it was a good day I hurt a criminal.' You need to be confident that you can do what needs to be done, but compassionate enough to hold back when deadly force isn't needed." Katherin was pleased that she sound like she knew what the heck she was talking about.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe nodded, looking down at her hands, "thats true, sometimes I wish I could speak with some of the neros here, but they intimidate me. So I dont"

[KatherinWinter]

"Eventually you will feel comfortable with them enough. I could ask my dad. He would probably talk to you." Katherin offered.

[MarshiestMallow]

"The only authority figures I have had constant communication with is the carers at the orphanage. Thanks for the kffer, I might take you up on it one of these days" phoebe said

[KatherinWinter]

"Just let me know when your ready. I know he'll want to help you as much as I do. And he's not nearly as scary as these guys." Katherin replied.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Thanks" phoebe said, smiling, "I am incredibly lucky to have a friend like you"

Mimic widens his eyes in surprise as the room suddenly becomes completely dark. He looks around, wondering just what Kalinda's powers are, and how she plans to attack him, when suddenly, he finds himself moving forward. He takes a risk and assumes that Kalinda is trying to bring him closer to her, so he uses his own telekinesis to slowly push everything in front of him, back toward the wall. When he's sure that Kalinda is near the wall, and that he is near her, he stops pushing her and raises his feet to make her work harder. As he floats through the air, ever closer to his target, he begins to hear her breathing and his wings pick up the vibrations her shaking body is giving off. He waits until he feels his feet come against Kalinda's stomach, and pushes off hard, breaking her control of him, and sending her hurtling back against the wall. After pushing off from Kalinda, Mimic flips backward in the air and uses his wings to float to the ground softly. "Tell me girl," he says, "what were you hoping to do? Don't you know it's extremely inappropriate for a teacher to be alone with a student in a dark, secluded room?"

Once the video feed of the fight goes completely black, Anthony stands and walks over to Phoebe. He smiles and asks, "Hey, can I speak to you for a moment?"

[MarshiestMallow]

"Only if that student can't handle themselves" which, as she now let her own emotions get control of her, she admit perhaps she couldn't. Still, she wouldn't be intimidated.

"I figured you could copy powers. Well, you can already fly, obviously, so my flight would be useless for you, you already have telekenisis, and as you see so do it. That left my shadows and my emotional manipulation" she said "which isn't easy to control to begin with. I thought, how do you copy? Do you see the power and copy it? Or does it just have to be used against you? I took a chance, and put the room into shadow, into complete darkness"

She let the room plung into light again, and continued "obviously, I need more practice. But I thought it was a good first effort"

She rubbed her stomach where he has pushed off from her, and stared at him, her face blank of emotion, even as she faught them within herself.

"Uh, sure, I guess" Phoebe said to Anthony, "more discussion about our pasts?"

[knight125]

Mimic laughs, "It was a valiant effort, and you at least put more thought into your first try than most of your other classmates. What to know a secret though?" He stands next to her and whispers, "I just have to be within 100 feet of someone to gain access to their power. During my classes, even when in this room, I could use the powers of every student in that classroom if I desired." He backs up and asks, "Would you please send in someone else?"

Anthony shakes his head and leads her away from the other students, then says, "No, I just have a gift for you." He pulls the envelope out of his jacket pocket and hands it to her, "I, hmm, acquired this while doing some research. It must be important because a certain someone didn't want you to have it."

Jack looked around. He had no idea what was going on. Not his fault really. He just felt like walking.

Ryan was looking around. Where the heck was Phoebe? God he was clueless bit right now it did not matter. He figured he should wait for her. Where ever that was. He ran into PD late again and saw her and that Anthony guy chatting... Lovely.

(Mimic's class)

[MarshiestMallow]

"Well that's interesting. And useful" Kalinda said, starting out the room, then looked back "I'll remember that. I'm Kalinda by the way, daughter of Raven" may as well let everyone know. She stepped into the classroom "I believe he wants a next victim" she said sittin back down at the back of the room

---

Phoebe blinked, wondering why he would go to an effort to give this to her, "thanks" she looked down at it. Addressed to her, alright. And in hand writing she recognised. She had a letter in her room that she had memorized since she was five years old with that same handwriting. She stood, pushing past Anthony, and fleeing the room, the letter held in her hand, she ran. She didn't even ask who if was that didn't want her to have it.

She didn't make it to her dorm. Instead, she ended up at a stair case. She sunk down, staring at the letter.

And then opening it

(Mimic's class)

((Or not anymore))

[Klyix]

So it was still Mimic, oh the fond memories she had of him; the time he stabbed her was particularly pleasant. She remained still and silent at the back of the room, just watching the events of the class unfold. The students had a lot of potential, it was all very reminiscent of two years ago when she was new here. Apart from the fact Mimic seemed less stabby which was an improvement, she supposed.

--------

The letter was written on pale green paper in flowing deep green ink.

Phoebe,

There is so much I need to tell you, so much I need to explain, but words on paper will not do.

I understand that you will be sceptical but you have to believe me when I say I have loved you your entire life and I have missed you every day that have kept us apart. I can only imagine the girl you have become and I cannot bear to be separated from you anymore.

So please, meet me after school Monday evening in the beautiful tropical garden.

Your mother,
Poison Ivy

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe read the letter with shaking hands, and then read it again. She stared at it the longest time, unable to comprehend it. She carefully folded it, swallowing.

She dropped her head in her hands, and cried. She didn't care she was in a hallway.

Her mother loved her. Her mother missed her. Her mother wanted to meet her.

How could she not cry at that?

[Avanhelsing]

Ryan saw Phoebe rush out of the room. Screw this class. He let her get to her dorm but saw her I'm the hallway. "Hey. Phoebe. You okay?What was that all about?" He asked clearly worried. He hugged her close."What's wrong. "

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe leaned into him, silent for a few moments, trying to get herself under control. "Anthony gave me a letter from my mother" she said, "she wants to meet me"

[Avanhelsing]

Ryan looked shocked. That had happened?! "That's great, right ? " He asked confused. "When does she want to meet you?" He asked wondering if he should get involved.

[MarshiestMallow]

"She said Monday evening" Phoebe said, drying her eyes and sighing, "so, I guess tonight" she wrapped her arms around herself, "she can just wait. I have you, and Sue wants a haircut..."

She opened the letter again, "she says she has loved me my whole life. I guess I already knew that"
