[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[KatherinWinter]

Zack decided to roam the room maybe get himself a drink. This is the stupidest thing you have talked me into. Half the kids are standing on the sidelines without a clue. The other half are in the own little world. This proves nothing. Zack rolled his eyes and headed to the snack table. As a being that had animal characteristics he needed to eat often.Plus punch sounded good. "It proves that students at this school are capable of more then violence."

"You are already pretty awesome" Connor said, "that I think it would be a step down to be like me" he said this easily, "I mean, all I can do is put on a metal suit and blast people. Besides my brain, my abilities with chrmistry, engineering could be considered normal amoung other geniuses. You can do so much, that I honstly don't know why you seem to want to help me rid myself of my ignorance of the real world, to hang lut with me"

Kalinda waited for a respo se from the guy who thought spiked drinks were bad. She looked uo at the sound of a voice, seeing so eone that appeared to be talking to themsekves nearby. Something about violence, she frowned, was there so ething she was mising here?

John switches the radio to a classic rock station, then sits on the bare roof, leaving the seat open for Devika. He looks away from her grinning, "It's embarrassing."

Anthony closes his eyes as he danced with Sue, enjoying the feeling of dancing with someone for no other reason than to enjoy their company. Unlike the other times he had danced with women, this wasn't an underhanded ploy to gain favor, he wasn't simply trying to woo her into his bed, and it wasn't a mere formality. It was visceral and genuine. It was amazing. Although part of Anthony realized that Sue might merely be happy for the company, he was lost in the moment. He continued the dance, even when the song was over and the room grew silent, save for the muffled sound of their footsteps on the carpeted floor.

Kijani giggled. "Connor, do you even realize what you're saying? 'Besides your brain'? 'Among other geniuses'? Your mind is the most powerful, wonderful part of you. You're selling yourself way too short. We have got to work on your confidence. You have all the cards, we just have to teach you how to play." She grinned at him. "As for why I'm helping you?" She stopped to think about it. "...well, when I figure it out, I'll let you know."

John switches the radio to a classic rock station, then sits on the bare roof, leaving the seat open for Devika. He looks away from her grinning, "It's embarrassing."

"Yes, I can tell." She settled into the lawn chair, causing it to creak under her weight. "You can tell me. I'm very good at keeping things a secret. I mean- I've listened to everything, from opera, to country, to Japanese bubblegum pop- I don't care." She smiled warmly over at John. "Please?"

[KatherinWinter]

Zack smiled shyly at the girl at the table. It wasn't the first time he had been caught talking to Griffin out loud and he was sure it wouldn't be the last. Zack helped himself to some of the punch and a few crackers. "Are you enjoying the evening?"

[knight125]

John glances at Devika out of the corner of his eye, "I really like old-time polka music."

After watching Ben a moment Estella laughed softly, which was probably the first time anyone actually heard a sound come from her mouth. Her vocal chords weren't very strong though so it was very light and she coughed ever so slightly. She takes a moment to try and read the movements of some of the ones dancing.

Ben grins excitedly, and says out loud, "Hey! You laughed! I wasn't even sure you could make audible sounds."

Kijani gigIled. Connor, do you even realize what you're saying? 'Besides your brain'? 'Among other geniuses'? Your mind is the most powerful, wonderful part of you. You're selling yourself way too short. We have got to work on your confidence. You have all the cards, we just have to teach you how to play." She grinned at him. "As for why I'm helping you?" She stopped to think about it. "...well, when I figure it out, I'll let you know."

"The problem with card games is I play them safe" Connor said, just like with everthing else. Was he tired of that? He didn't know. All he k ew at the moment was he was dancing with a girl, and didn't appear to be making a fool of himself. Maybe the time for playing it safe was over.

"Confidence. Always been an issue with me there. Mostly" there were times he knew he could be extremely confident. They just didn't happen often. But he liked the way she said 'we'. So he smiled, and said, "you are welcome to try and help though"

"And sometimes figuring something out, Its the simplest, most obvious answer. But take your time" he smiled again

"I am...not sure" kalinda said, "i fear that if I do, kt might be a mistake. And dangerous"

[twave]

Estella stopped and looked at Ben. Did I? I didn't even realize. She tried to speak but couldn't get anything out. She frowned a bit I don't know how to use my voice.

See? I told you. Even this girl thinks this is dangerous. "It's a dance how dangerous can it be?" Zack looked around the room again. Nope still didn't see anything dangerous.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Not the dance" kalinda said, "me" she set her plate down, keeoing her emotions in check, exploring her blocks, making sure there were no cracks, "lovey dovey emotions all flying about, if they are strong enough might be diasterous for me"

Devika grinned in surprise. "Polka, really? That's... definitely not what I would have expected. But then again, I've never heard any." She knew better than to judge a genre before she listened to it.

"You've really got to work on that confidence thing. Everyone should be convinced of at least one good point in themselves. I'm lucky enough to have more than one. So I've got confidence to share." His smile was infectious, and she felt her grin growing. "You deserve to be sure of yourself. So perhaps I need to teach you how to play. You have plenty of potential."

[knight125]

John laughs, "I'm just screwing with you. There's an old rock band called Journey, they're my favorite."

[MarshiestMallow]

"I am confident in the fact that I can build things awesomely. And in my ironman suit. But other than that" he shrugfed, trying not to get distracted by her smile. He took a breath, said, "if you think I nave plenty of potential, then I will accept your teachings on how to play"

Zack tilted his head uncertainly. How could emotions be dangerous? Maybe Griffin would understand her point of view, but Zack certainly couldn't. "Why come if you think it is dangerous. We had this arguement ourselves earlier. We agreed that it was worth the danger to see the others in a different setting."

[MarshiestMallow]

"Because I am desoite everything, a teenage girl that likes dances, no matter the fact I usually stand on the sidelines instead of actual dancing" kalinda said feeling the need to defend herself.

"Ok. Sorry. We don't alot of experience with girls. In fact we have hardly had a chance to interact with anyone. We did not mean to upset you. We were only trying to understand why you would chose to be here when you feel it is dangerous. We explained why we came to this event even though we were uncertain of the safety of doing so." Zack said softly stepping back. He felt bad for upsetting her. He always seemed to be upsetting people at this school.

Sue

Anthony
Anthony closes his eyes as he danced with Sue, enjoying the feeling of dancing with someone for no other reason than to enjoy their company. Unlike the other times he had danced with women, this wasn't an underhanded ploy to gain favour, he wasn't simply trying to woo her into his bed, and it wasn't a mere formality. It was visceral and genuine. It was amazing. Although part of Anthony realized that Sue might merely be happy for the company, he was lost in the moment. He continued the dance, even when the song was over and the room grew silent, save for the muffled sound of their footsteps on the carpeted floor.

Secrets – One Republic

Sue signed to Anthony: ”Some people don’t like you. But I trust you, no matter what they say. Thank you”

”I’m tired… I had fun, scrub. I think I’ll head to bed.”

She kissed Anthony on the cheek, and gestured him out of her room, the music and the lyrics still audible after she closed the door.

♫”Tell me what you want to hear… Something that will light those ears… Sick of all the insincere… So I’m gonna give all my secrets away.” ♫

Back in the ball

The music halted to a slow fade-out and Caits reappeared on the stage.

“Alright guys, you know what time it is! It’s time to announce the Prom King and Queen!

Now, we select our Prom King and Queen with our observation committee of telepaths and omnivisionaries, and we select which couple in this very gym was the best deserving as a couple and Prom King and Queen!

We narrowed it down to a few, but we believe this couple deserved it the most!

They are: Connor and Kijani!!!!!!!”

Suddenly, the crowd around them clapped in applause and joy for the most admirable couple. Two girls approached them with their crowns and a bouquet of flowers for Kijani, and a giant spotlight is shone on them.

Suddenly the song changed to something more energetic:

Here’s To Never Growing Up – Avril Lavigne

The crowd went mad.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda took a deep breath, sighed it "no, it is not your fault. I guess I still miss being normal" she said and shrugged as if it were nothing. "So, you arent a Real human?" She reached for any topic just to get it of herself, and really to just keep talking, rather then watch.
