[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

As Ben walked away Griffin took out his phone and dialed his mother's lawyer. He choose his mother's lawyer because he knew the man would do what Griffin wanted and make sure the tracks were covered. "I don't have the address but tonight a boy about 10 will call the police and report his father fell down the stairs. The boy is in no way to blame. It was an accident. Make that clear to whoever is in charge. Then but the boy in the best foster home you can find. None if it can be traced to us. Use cash and whoever you need to make this untraceable."

"Okay" Connor said, going to the car park to where his car was. He hoped it would run, even after checking the oil and anything else essential. It wasn't an expensive flashy car, just a nice car-merely a means to get from one place to another. All his flash was the suit.

He got out his keys, opening the doors

Kat had disappeared as soon as the day had ended. Now she could be found in a bar in a dark corner of the city. Smoke hung in the air like it was part of the furniture and the patrons were hardly the sort you would want to come across in a dark alley; perhaps unsurprisingly she fit in well and had quickly turned public opinion to her favour.

Kijani followed him to the parking lot. His car was nothing to marvel over, but then, it was a lot more vehicle than she had. She really needed to get her license one of these days. "Thank you." She got in and settled in the seat, putting her seatbelt on. She just wanted to not think, which was a strange, new feeling for her. Surely an intelligent person like herself would always want to think? But her thoughts were too heavy, and threatened to weigh her down, drown her if she let them.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor got in the car, starting it up, relieved when it did so without any issues. He really should have someone look after it. Or himself, if he didn't get so distracted.

Kijani seemed distracted...and just...off. What was going on? He was pretty positive it had something to do with Anthony, and that note he had passed her.

He started to drive, pondering this puzzle, then put it to the back of his mind.

"What ever is wrong" he said as he maneuvered through the streets, "it will be okay"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani's head jerked toward him, and a look of worry passed over her face. Either she was doing nothing to hide her emotions, or Connor was paying extra attention. Either way, it didn't bode well. "I wish I had your faith." Blind faith is what it was- Kijani preferred to have proof of things. Good, solid evidence. Her lips twitched into a weak smile. "Must be a hero thing."

[MarshiestMallow]

"I suppose it could be Faith" Connor mused, "but Faith implies that one merely hopes, and not think of facts. I know it will be okay, because you are strong, even if you don't think so. You argued with Batman! I imagine very few students have done that before, if any. You've strived to work without your powers while you haven't had them, and succeeded. There's more, but then I would just be going on and on. You maybe worried, or scared or whatever, but I think you have always managed to rise, despite those things. So, whatever is going on, you will be fine"

He found a park a little walk from the burger place, "or I could just be saying this and you are thinking that I am delusional."

Kalinda smiled, "Most people are easy to read, if you watch. No many people watch others. I tend to make a habit out of it. I am very observational. usually" She found herself laughing, "I am sure you won't be killed for saying your opinion. Thats what friends do apparently. Offer a solution for things" Once his room was tidied, he picked up his phone, and texted Kijani. he decided not to ask what was bothering her, knowing she would either tell him when she wanted, or she wouldn't. No sense asking, and putting pressure on her. Besides, he just wanted to know fi she was okay

"You don't know my father. He got a bit crazy after my brother..." Matt stopped himself. He should not talk about that. Not now. He looked away as the food came. Almost all some kind of noddle. No meat. He grabbed a bit of the food nibbling at.

"So uhh what about you? Any family?" He asked figuring she would dtop the brother thing.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda frowned when he cut himself off, but didn't push the topic. It was clearly troubling. "Just my mother. Never knew my father" She said, "No brothers, or sisters. I wanted a puppy, but my mother said I couldn't have one. Something about she'd be the one to clean up after it, even though I would have given anything for one"

She studied the food, pleased, and somewhat touched that there was no meat on any of the plates. "You could have got yourself meat, you know" She said, "I don't eat it because it makes me feel sick, not because of any animal rights thing"

Kijani just listened to Connor talk, riveted to his words. How could he have such... high regard for her? "Yelling at Batman was a mistake of a caliber I hope to never see again. As far as the rest of it..." She sighed faintly and started winding a dreadlock around her fingertip. "Keep thinking that way. You be optimistic, I'll be realistic, and we'll get by." She smiled a little bit and looped her arm into his.

[MarshiestMallow]

"I suppose I am optimistic. A necessary trait, for an inventor after all" Connor said, as he started to lead the way to the store, "it wasn't that big of a mistake-he didn't expel you or anything" And there was optimism again. He smiled,opening the door to the burger place, "anyway, these burgers are good"

Anthony

Anthony claps then signs with a smile, "It's truly amazing how well you're able to express yourself, even without words. To be honest, I envy you. I can't imagine how freeing it must be to feel comfortable with letting your thoughts and intentions be seen through your actions."

She smiled angelically, but sincerely with no flashing teeth, just a mild one that showed gratitude. She signed to Anthony, thinking of what to say as she went along:

”When you’re powerless like me with no voice, you learn to communicate with other means. You try even harder to get people’s attention or else you just disappear out of existence.

It was good for a while, when I found out I had a natural predilection and affinity for the arts. But when the powers came…

Well, whatever. I’ve had enough of sulking for tonight. I have my bouts of depression, but it never lasts too long. I know there are people out there that care and love me. And one of them is staring right at me.

I know I’m asking for much: but... sleep with me tonight? Not like, sex or anything. Just… don’t leave for tonight?”

She clasped her hands behind her, rolling the ball of her left foot, quickly transferring the motion to the right foot in rotation.

Kijani nodded, not knowing what to say at all. Once they were in the restaurant and seated, she hid behind a menu. She wasn't all that hungry, but she'd eat to keep up appearances. Besides, she'd have to keep her body energized just in case. "So... what's good here?" She peeked at Connor over the top of the menu.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Well, the burger I had before was good, BBQ cheeseburger" Connor said, picking up his menu. He would probably just go with that again.

[knight125]

Anthony listens with interest as Sue speaks, but hesitates when she asks him to spend the night. "If I stay the night, I may forget which leads I was planning to follow in my research, and I really don't want to wait any longer than necessary before I visit my father." he thinks. He blinks once, revealing eyes that are now gray as he says, "I'm sorry Sue, but..." Anthony trails off as his eyes rapidly shift from gray to brown several times before he continues, his eyes once again their natural color, "Actually, I would love to. Are you positive that you want me to?"

Kijani made a little face. She didn't like barbecue sauce. Scanning the menu, she picked out a burger that would hopefully keep at least some part of her going. It was called the diablo burger, and had pepperjack cheese, fried jalapenos, and spicy mayo on it along with all the other usual burger toppings.

Sue

”I’m sure.”

She walked quickly to turn off the lights, and with the guide of the moonlight illuminating the room, walked back to her bed. In Anthony’s arms and caress, she settled with him. He smelt nice. She felt happy.

[MarshiestMallow]

Once they had ordered, and recieved their food, all the while Connor tried to think of something to say, or do, that would cheer Kijani. He was really bad at this sort of thing, he decided. But he smiled, and said, "Wont that be really spicy and hot?"

Kijani grinned. "That would be the entire point." She took a huge bite and let the flavorful heat keep her senses alive and kicking. "Aaah... burns so good." There was something about good spicy food that made her feel energetic.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor didn't mind spicy food, but preferred other things, "Anyone watching you would think you've discovered the best thing on earth to eat or something" He said smiling, starting to eat his burger
