[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

Sue

Sue heard the door swing open and footsteps walked towards her. Sue didn’t care. She lay sprawled all over her bed, the windowless room ensured no glass broke, but many of her things were out of place from the bombardment of music. She paid no mind to the person who walked in. She hoped that the loud, deafening music would drive the person away.

[MarshiestMallow]

The thing about hearing was, at least for Kalinda, she could lose it and not fear at all. Like now. Depsite the music being defeaning, zhe sat down on the bed. She didnt mind the fact that it was probably invasion of privacy, feeling emotions led to there being no privacy really.

she didn't say anything, simply immersing herself in the girls emotion. She found it oddly fascinating. It seemed to wash away her own emotions. Which was good.she stayed silent, knowing the girl would either break it, or let it go on,

Sue

Sue wondered why the person hadn’t left yet. She was sure that everyone would be driven out already. The song changed to many other sad songs, all equally loud, but they never left Sue’s bed.

She raised her head and saw that it was one of the new girls she hadn’t talked to yet.

She groggily pointed at the door, and made a swinging motion, gesturing the girl to help Sue close the door as she sat up, hugging her pillow hard, music still playing but she now pressed pause.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda glanced at the door, then held uo a hand, using two fingers to shut it. It closed with a soft click that she could now hear. She still had the gloves on which was probably a good thing. If she touched the girl bare skin to bare skin, her owm soundness would rebound back to the girl, and might likely drive her crazy.

kalinda tried to smile, but the girls sadness prevent this from nappening. Kalinda was mildly curious as to why she wasnt a blithering mess due to feeling the girls sadness. Maybe this was part of her abiltiy, she didn't know,

"Hi" she sajd softly.

Sue

Sue looked away from her, wiping her eyes, her eyes incredibly red and poofy. She inhaled to suck in all the snot that was dripping from her nose. She took off her headphones and threw it lightly in front of her, it laying between her and the new girl.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Not much of a talker?" Kalinda said, "thats okay. I can talk enough for both of us" she shifted, glancing at the headphones,. "I'm kalinda, I heard your music, and felt your sadness. So I came to investigate"

she found she could lock the girls emotion away, and this intrigued her. Like she xould store them for future use, strange.

"Why are you so sad?"

So I came to investigate" she found she could lock the girls emotion away, and this intrigued her, like she could store them for future use, strange. "Why are you so sad?"

Sue pulled open her bedside drawer and pulled out a large notepad with a green pencil. She wrote with exquisite cursive: ”I’m mute. I’m disappointed with myself.”

She turned to the next page and wrote: ”I’m Sue. You?” she managed a smile with her sad face.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Kalinda" kalinda said, "why are you disappointed in yourseld?" She asked, not realising tnat she was probably crossing a boundry.

Kalinda

"Kalinda" Kalinda said, "Why are you disappointed in yourself?" She asked, not realising that she was probably crossing a boundary.

She did not want to answer this question; especially to someone she did not know well. She simply wrote down: “It’s nice to meet you, Kalinda, but I would really like to be alone for now. I hope you don’t mind.”

Jessica smiled as she walked around with Mike. Her eyes occasionally weren't just on the things he was showing her, but on him. He wasn't too bad looking, not at all. She loved how he didn't seem to change around her because she is Thor's daughter. So many men in Asgard would and she just wanted a guy that could be himself. And this guy was fulfilling that wish. She said," I'm a bit hungry... Want to get some food?" She tilted her head at him slightly in question.

Austin didn't know quite what to do after Connor went off to do his own thing. He then realized that he hasn't been very... Talkative with many of the other students. He spent some time weight lifting, but now he just wanted to have some food. He headed towards the Cafeteria, folding his arms across his chest.

The two girls Estella followed seemed preoccupied talking to each other. He frowned softly before remembering. In the excitement she'd forgotten about her ship. Her expression lit up and she turned around and started off before pausing and looking back. Sorry to run. I forgot something important. My name is Estella by the way. She waved lightly and hurried back to the academy. She passed by Austin, nearly running into him. Sorry, excuse me.

[Klyix]

As the sun began to set, a strangers figure moved in the shadows as the branches of trees bent to conceal her. She headed towards the tropical garden and it was only when she was safely inside that the she stepped out of the shadows. She was undeniably beautiful with an elfin look to her, long red-hair and a green tint to her skin, much more noticeable in her lips. From the shelter of the garden she looked towards the school and waited, praying this had not all been in vain.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda shrugged, "okay" she left, she didn't head back to devika and Estella, instead she found an empty dorm, and pondered.

Phoebe and Ryan heqded to the pizza place, ordering Pizza, and talking. It was indeed better than their first date, or at leqst Phoebe thought. She was no longer the girl not knowing what to expect out of a date.

she had fun, and almost forgot that she needed to meet her mother. The letter was folding neatly in a pocket, and it was a constant reminder.

So they headed bwck just as darkness started to fall. Phoebe could just heqr the last effects of loud music. "I think thats sue" she said, wondering why it was such sad music. She gave Ryan a quick kiss. She reckomed she had about an hour until true evening, so if she was fast enough she could see what was up with Sue, give her that haircut, and then go meet her mother, collecting Ryan on the way.

she ran to the girls dorm, and Sues room, where the door was slightly ajar, as if someone nad just left. She opened it and shut it, the music eas now gone.

phoebe took in Sues appearance, and went over to her, pulling her into a hug. If Sue didn't want to talk, that was fine but Phoebe was very pursassive. Still, she sat silently hugging Sue. Sometimes all you needed was a friend.

Phoebe didnt ask what was wrong, instead waiting for Sue to tell her. She also didn't mention the letter or her mother until Sue had finished. Phoebe was beinf a good friend, and hooed as she left that Sue was better. She promised Sue she wouod come by later, after.

She collected Ryan, and headed to meet her mother, making sure he stayed hidden. She walked alone to stand in clear view. And saw the figure standing there.

"Oh" was just about all she could say

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin studied the letter for their mother. Her advice was good. For now that would be the plan to handle school. His stomach rumbled reminding Griffin it had been awhile since they had eaten. School seemed quiet. Griffin briefly wondered what the other students were busy doing. He wished he was busy doing something. Maybe tomorrow he would look for some way to fill his time while he was in charge. For now he need to find something to eat.

[Klyix]

When she first saw the silhouette approaching she was on guard; there was no way to be sure it was Phoebe. But then she stepped into the light and there was no doubt. "You came." She said, suddenly breaking out into a smile. She crossed the distance and pulled Phoebe into a hug, before getting her thoughts together and letting her go again. She hadn't seen her for her whole life, she might only be here to tell her to go away. "You're so beautiful, and this.." she said, gesturing to the garden around them, "this is amazing."

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe was being hugged. By her mother. She had to take a moment to process that as she hugged her back. "Of course I came" she said, "your my mother" she shook her head as her mother said she was beautiful. She had never thought she was, despite Ryan constantly calling her that. Pretty, sure, but not beautiful. Not like her mother standing in front of her.

phoebe looked around her tropical garden and couldn't help but smile. It had taken her ages of planning, and then what felt like hours of creating."its my pride and joy" she said quite truthfully

Connor nodded, starting to coat one side of a piece of paper himself. It appeared he had taken his fathers advice. He was comfortable, and completely at ease. And Conorr wasn't much of an actor, nor one to pretend. He was genuine. Just about everything he did he did genuinely.He worked quickly, and soon had his stack of papers coated with the solution. He started to hang them up to dry all around the laboratory. He enjoyed the work, despite it's repeativeness. "Now to wait for it to dry

"So then you need to find them to figure out who you are" Kalinda said thinking

Kijani painted hers as well, her hand inexpert but very steady. Soon, she too was hanging up her papers and looking over their work. "So..." She started to play with her hair again. "Now what do we do?" She leaned against the lab counter, smiling slightly at him. Honestly, she'd never seen Connor so at ease. It was nice to watch, but at the same time, she wondered how to do it. Literally- how did one be at ease, let their guard completely down, when they were around other people? She'd never been able to- quite the opposite, in fact. She'd been taught to keep her mind in constant defense, while at the same time being aware of any and every striking point in other people. Even now, she couldn't relax, even though Connor's happiness made her want to.

"That would be incredible. But I seriously doubt it's going to happen." She shook her head. A wave of sadness hit her, and she turned her head toward it. Kalinda went a step further, wandering off, probably to find the source. Devika sighed and leaned back into the grass. "...now what?" She had no one to speak to here, no plans... no nothing.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Ever cooked food using lab equipment?" Connor asked, going to his backpack, which still held his suit even though he couldn't use it. He just didn't feel right without it.

he took out thenonly things he had had in his dorm to eat-two minute noodles, flavoring, two cans of drink, anda box of chocolates. When he got Into his work, he tended to immerse himself and not rise until something distracted him. Usually Austin these days, so quick handy food was all he had when he got hungry, and diddidn't want to walk down to the cafeteria.

He also took out two metal cups, poured the noodles into each one, put water in and everything else. He went over to a bunsen burner, turning it on.

Within Moments he had successfully cooked the noodles. It was nothing Fancy-if he had thought about it, he would have thought about Fancy. But Connor wasn't that type of guy anyway.

he set the noodles down, using a cloth so as not to burn himself oj the cups. "We eat while it dries, and then see if it worked"

Kalinda eventually made her way back to Devika, feeling etter. Axtually she was begining not to feel anyfhing at all. "Sorry" she said, eitting down despite the fading light, "that was powerful

[Klyix]

Her smile softened when Phoebe called her 'mother', she wasn't rejecting her despite everything. She noticed how she lit up as she spoke about the garden. "I can see why, it's just.. stunning. I mean if you can do that while here, imagine how great you'd be if being taught to use all that you can achieve."

[MarshiestMallow]

At this Phoebe frowned. "Like what?" She asked. She had thought her abilities quite wide, but obviously not, she leaned against on of her trees, trying to appear at ease. "I can already do lots of stuff"
