[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

Connor thought about this. Even the best laid plans could be defeated. And when you threw others in, it got harder to follow the plan, because everyone was individual, had their own thoughts, their own instincts.

When someone was stronger than you, you focused on their weaknesses. Were they slow? Did they use the same moves? Things like that. Everyone had a weakness.

Connor had stopped taking notes, pondering this. Towards the end of the lecture, he was starting to get really hungry. He hadn't exactly eaten much for breakfast.

Kraven grins, "Once you have taken your initial victim's clothing, you act as if you belong. Find a group of guards that are heading where you desire to go, and start making conversation. Emulate their behavior and the way they speak to each other. Worse case scenario, they get suspicious once you're within arms length from them. If you know that the shits hitting the fan, use the element of surprise to take them out quickly and quietly. If you come across a security checkpoint that utilizes face recognition, make sure you're last in line, then simply follow the person in front of you quickly."

(Does the way I said this make sense?)

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda pondered this a minute, then shook her head "the trouble with acting is you have to be good at it. Not everyone is good at acting like they belong for long periods of time. Couldn't I just hide in the shadows and follow like that?"

[knight125]

Kraven sighs, "And if they're in a well-lit area? If they see you stepping out of the shadows, they won't even give you a chance to get close."

[Avanhelsing]

Cap stopped lecturing. "Any questions? Come on there has to be one." He asked hoping there was not.

[MarshiestMallow]

"And if I make a mistake and don't act quite right, I'm screwed anyway, right? In an generally go about unnoticed for the most part, if I want. But acting like someone, it's completely different. How do you do it?" Kalinda said frowning

---

Connor shrugged "well, if I was facing someone stronger than me, I'd want back up. But than how do you keep a plan going? Unless you can control others, everyone has their own instincts"

[Avanhelsing]

"You need firm and trustworthy leadership for that. Sometimes a plan just goes south quickly and that is when you have to focus on your own gut feelings." He said figuring that they would know what that meant. "anything else? Cause if not then class dismissed." He said figuring anyone else would just stay to ask the question.

Griffin considered the instructor Kraven idea of blending in. He and Zack were capable of blending in almost anywhere. If Griffin was unable to blend with the group he came upon he would simply switch with Zack. Zack was good with people and could make himself a part of almost any group. Zack wouldn't like it, but if it kept them safe he would do it.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor shrugged. He had no other questions, and he was hungry. So he fell silent.

[knight125]

Kraven laughs, "That's the thing, girl. If you're acting, you'll be discovered. You have to be the type of person you're trying to trick. You can't have any reservations. If they're engaging in an act that you don't agree with, you may have to join in to get to your target." He claps his hands and says, "Alright, class dismissed."

[MarshiestMallow]

That didn't make sense to Kalinda. You had to act to be like someone, didn't you? She sighed and stood. Maybe she shouldn't be here. She started out the classroom

[Klyix]

The game had been noisy which was an annoyance, though was made up for by watching people get hit by the many balls flying through the air. Though, as always, all good things come to an end and the last person was hit signalling the end of the game - though she was still unsure as to its purpose. As they all made their way out to run laps she walked out of the gym.

She knew there was another class before lunch but she didn't have a schedule and didn't really think much would help her anyway. So instead she made her way to the outside seating, the cold air welcomed rather than being a discomfort, and sat down as a leather bound book with aged pages appeared in her hands, which she began to read. Even with her long black hair streaming in the wind she didn't seem to be disturbed, her eyes trained to the pages.

After an hour and thirty minutes of playing chess, the Leader dismisses Anthony in disgust. They had played two games, the first of which the Leader had won with ease. "Knowing" that he was vastly more intelligent than the human in front of him, the Leader agrees to a bet suggested by Anthony. Having beaten the young man many times over the past few months, Leader assumed the bet was a suggestion fueled by the famous Luthor pride.

Once Leader had agreed to the bet, Anthony swiftly beat him in a mere seventeen moves, knocking over the green man's king with an expression of utter disdain. "Thank you, I'll come to you when I'm ready to receive my winnings." He leaves his "teacher" behind and heads toward the cafeteria.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor left the classroom, heading towards the cafeteria and lunch. He was thinking. Work on coincidence. Well, he could do that. Couldn't he? He mulled this over getting a tray of food, and heading towards the table he and Austin normally sat at, looking through the crowd.

Confidence. What could he do well? Build things obviously. He smiled slightly, and build things well. He was a stark after all.

A Starks. His father, his fathers father etc had all been men of confidence, really. Arrogance, sure. And confidence. Definetely.

Connor didn't want to become an arrogant man. If he did, he thought he might just loose himself.

He started to eat a sandwich absently.

---

Kalinda headed to the cafeteria. She wasn't really hunger but what else could she do? She looked at the schedule, searching for iron fists class. Maybe she'd go take that class soon.

[knight125]

After grabbing a Caesar chicken salad, Anthony spots Connor and sits by him. "So, Mr. Stark. I hear that you made quite the splash at the dance last night."

Sue

After her brief conversations with her friends on the track, it was time for her to go back to retrieve her jacket and go back to her dorm. Her things were still there, and while she said no to Kijani’s offer for bruise cream, Sue’s cheek still ached though only slightly.

She raced back to her room and changed appropriately, after her brief stint of time outside.

Announcement

All students in Captain America's Fighting theory class. Please Report to Class 310 today.

This was her time to improve on herself and not just her abilities. If she had to prove anything to anyone today, it was to Mimic and her determination to be a better person.

She sat there, drawing down her notes again for the next hour.

Then came lunch, and Sue ran out of the classroom as soon as the last student’s questions were answered.

She walked over past Anthony and Connor in the cafeteria, she brushing the hair of both boys, grabbing her own tray of food and walked on outside. Her usual tabletop was again vacant, and it was almost always the case and she called it good luck. Sue smiled back at Anthony, pointing at her bruised cheek, with a fighting stance to show him the tough girl Sue was – or wanted to be.

[MarshiestMallow]

"That depends on what you mean" Connor said "being announced prom king" he shrugged "apparently they liked what they saw. Thanks for the suit. I never would have managed to get one with six hours notice otherwise"

[knight125]

Anthony smiles, "It was my pleasure. Consider it an apology for our first meeting. He feels his hair being brushed, and turns to see Sue pointing to her bruised cheek. Anthony chuckles quietly and says to Connor, "If you ever need anything, let me know." He picks up his salad and joins Sue at her table. He greets her with a smile and signs, "Hello. Is this seat taken?"

Ben had planned to ask Kalinda to join him for lunch, but shrugs as she runs off. "Oh well," he says to himself, "I'll just practice using my suit more."

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin quickly entered captain America's classroom after the announcement, sitting down quietly during the class. He listened, quietly taking notes. He saw Connor near the front but didn't say anything. He had to wait once class was dismissed. However, Connor slipped out before he could talk to him. he walked to lunch then got food and walked up to Connor and said," hey."

Jessica, after attending a technology class. She left it and headed to lunch, yawning. She understood nothing of it. But that is why she was there. To understand it. She walked inside, looking around a little before heading towards the lunch line, her hands in her pockets.

She shook her head. She enjoyed his company more now, and it was nice that not the same people would come over to her side when they knew she couldn’t go in the cafeteria. Sooner or later she’d see Katherin, Kijani and… She frowned at the last person’s name.

”I don’t suppose you know where Phoebe is… do you? I read her mom’s letter…
