[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[knight125]

Mimic's densely feathered wings take the brunt of the attack, but a few of the papers find their mark. He slowly stands while raising one hand, causing the paper to withdraw from his body, releasing a steady stream of blood. He laughs darkly, "Is this what you wanted? To get a rise out of me? Congratulations, you did it." Mimic walks toward Kijani quickly, paper after paper ripping out of the discarded book, and fly towards Kijani, forming manacles that chain her to the wall. A ball of fire appears in his outstretched as he says, "You better come up with something quickly."

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani laughed, even though she was in trouble. "Does this mean extra credit, teach?" As soon as the fire came out, her smile pretty much dropped off her face. Her whole body tensed and her eyes widened with fear. Suddenly the manacles were strapping her to a table and Mimic had no face, and there was a glare from behind his head, and the whole room smelled like bleach and antiseptic and-

"NO!" She jerked the manacles off the wall with a burst of strength that wasn't physical, but pure power. They slid around her hand and reformed in her fist in a sharp, jagged knife that she aimed for Mimic's head. Obviously she was going for a killing blow- but her eyes weren't right, her gaze wasn't even in the room.

Austin

…watched the fight, his... well what would be his eyebrows rose. Not often do you see someone with the control of paper. Austin spotted Kyra walk in a smiled, quickly moving closer to her. He then heard the announcement from... Jack that a girl's name was Sue. He smiled at Sue," hi, I'm Austin."

Austin came over to greet Sue, which was a delight she enjoyed. Before going further, she put her right index finger to her mouth, indicating a hush-hush, the left hand doing a repeated, horizontal up-and-down motion, gesturing to lower his voice, all with a wink as a kind "Hello".

She found great enjoyment just looking at this guy. His hair orange with black patches, his palms so marble-shaped and round like an actual cat, and his canines!

As a tease, Sue closed her hands, raised them to her cheeks, and rolled, much like how a cat would,



followed with her “growling”, her mouth exposing her own canines, with no exiting sound.

Her happiness fell, her shock surfaced, upon what she'd be seeing in the TV. Breathing nearly halted to a stop, her heart raced and paused, her eyes focused on the power that was shown. The fury, the aggression, it was all so terrifying.

"Jack... I'm horrified.", she signed to him.

[knight125]

Mimic uses the phoenix fire to completely disintegrate all of the paper in the room, but leaves Kijani unharmed. His expression softens, and he steps closer as he says comfortingly, "Whoa there, I'm done, I wasn't going to actually burn you, it was just a test. Is there anything you need to get off your chest?"

[Krein]

Gabriel had been watching the fights by and by, finding most of them boring by "superhero" standards. The one that was really riling things up was Kijani. She had been doing rather well to his surprise, but things suddenly felt off in the scene. The girl looked genuinely frightened and actually seemed to be trying to seriously hurt Mimic, or whatever the hell this conglomeration of X-Men heroes this guy's name was. Gabriel smirked.

"Things just got interesting..."

But the smirk soon faded. What if she ended up actually hurting the teacher? Or what if the teacher also went into serious mode and ended up hurting her? Gabriel stood up from his desk and walked closer to the viewing place to get a better look. The excitement and adrenaline the sight was causing made his blood begin to boil, and quite soon he wanted to have a go at Mimic himself... not after making sure things wouldn't end badly however...

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor watched as kijani lost control, he was half way out of his chair, unsure of what he would actually do, when Mimic stopped the attack. He didn't sit back down, watching the tv closely, almost prepared to help if need be. You're a foul, he berated himself, yet still he didn't sit back down.

What must it be like, to have such power, yet be so powerless? He wondered

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani's suddenly empty fist smacked Mimic's face. Her chest was heaving as she tried to ready for a new attack, but the smell of burnt paper didn't belong in the lab... She blinked several times, her eyes seeming to come into focus. Her hand went limply to her side. She looked around slowly, realizing that she wasn't where she'd thought she was. "..." Her mouth opened and shut, and then her eyes filled with tears. "Not again." She burst from the room, not even stopping to grab her bag before she fled the class, clutching her torso.

[Krein]

Gabriel watched Kijani run out with a raised eyebrow. Curious and slightly concerned over what had just happened, he made a mental note to find out why she had reacted the way she did for curiosity's sake. He looked at Mimic... was it his turn yet? If it was... then shit... he kind of wasn't expecting to go right now even if his adrenaline had been running through him just a few moments ago...

Mimic

Mimic walks into the classroom, scratching his head as he asks, "Are any of you her friend? I'd go after her, but I doubt it'd do any good."

Anthony
Anthony stands, takes one look at the teacher and growls, "You disgust me." He jogs out of the classroom, looking for Kijani.

Mimic looks for a willing participant and spots Gabriel. With a sigh, he points to Gabriel and says, "Come on then, we've no time to waste."

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor hesitated, the decided to follow her. He snatched up his backpack and her things, heading out the room "hey! Are you okay?" He called after her, but then seeing another person from the class and figuring he was a friend, said "here, you take this. I'll go back to class"

Gabriel clenched his fists. Looks like he was up, no use trying to sit back down and act inconspicuous....

"Alright then..."

He headed into the battle room and already felt his blood boiling. It was different this time though, the feeling permeating his entire body, specifically the chest and stomach areas. Gabriel shrugged it off and prepared himself...

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani was huddling on the stairs, gasping for breath through her tears and clutching her side. The pain was flaring up again. It was as fresh as the day of the original wound... She shook, trying to get the horrible scent of antiseptic and bleach and chemical out of her nose. It wouldn't go away, the lab wouldn't go away. This is what she feared the most. The more time she spent with her powers, the more she had to deal with this...

[knight125]

Anthony

Anthony runs by the staircase, then doubles back once he realizes that he had passed Kijani. He sits down close to her and asks, "Hey. What happened back there?"

Mimic

Mimic follows Gabriel, then asks, "So. Just what are you?"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani looked out of the corner of her eye at the well-dressed guy who'd sat beside her. A fleeting thought hit her that she was glad to not be the only one to wear her best clothes on the first day of school. She realized she didn't have a lie prepared for what had happened. "...I... lost control." Not a lie, but nothing near the full truth. Her hand rubbed at her side, subconsciously trying to soothe the phantom pain.

[Krein]

"Mutant I'd suppose, like the rest of us here. Name's Gabriel Zornlich, but I assume you already knew that if you looked at the roster of incoming students this year... as for my power... my blood boils. You'll see soon enough..."

Gabriel watched Mimic carefully, trying to prepare for every possible situation.

[knight125]

Mimic laughs, "Look at the roster? I'm not the principle, I like surprises every now and then. It keeps things live-" He stops mid-sentence and leaps at Gabriel, trying to grab the student by the shirt.

Anthony
Anthony frowns, "Are you hurt?" He gently touches where Kijani's hand is, feeling for a wound. Once he's satisfied that she's not bleeding and nothing is broken, he withdraws his hand. "You looked really scared back there, did you really think he was going to seriously injure you?"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani flinched as she was touched, turning away as if she had been burnt. "..." How could she explain that Mimic hadn't been been Mimic, in her eyes. It had been... She shivered and looked at her shoes. "I did. I thought I was going to die." It was the restraints, now that she'd thought of it. Being held captive in that exact same way had triggered something in her mind, it had been so much realer than any of the old nightmares.

It was at Mimic's sudden attempt at a surprise attack that Gabriel reacted, quickly and forcefully parrying away his arm and jumping out of the way of Mimic's direction. Gabriel looked at Mimic's arm and smirked, noticing the crimson liquid that had been left there. The steam around it indicated that it was currently in its "scalding" state, only able to inflict some serious burns as opposed to burning through. Gabriel was surprised yet pleased that he was able to get it to come out this way, he had been wondering if he could change its properties quickly before release.

[knight125]

Anthony gently turns Kijani's chin so she's looking at him, and asks, "This isn't about the teacher, is it? What have you gone through?" He gives her a reassuring smile and continues, "Come on, you can talk to me."

Mimic cries out in pain, "You son of a bi-" "Pull it together Rankin, you've felt worse." He stands straight and backs up slowly, then asks, "Can you fire it as a projectile, or do you have to slap someone to be effective?"

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor slinked back to tne classroom, sighing and sitting down, looking at the screen. He was such a fool. He shook his head, and sighed again,

Phoebe was hoping it would be her turn next, simply to get it over with. Also because she was finally prepared. She watched the tv and just hoped that she would do okau
