[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[knight125]

Mimic leaps under the stream of blood, then rolls and jumps up, kicking Gabriel with both feet. As Gabriel falls, Mimic grabs the student's shoulders, rides him to the ground, then he tilts his head and asks, "Care to know what your power feels like to others?"

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe watched tne screen. She k ew she really wasn't good enough to even get close. Some of these students were more skilled then she was.

One thing was though, she was determined. She would succeed, hopefully, I at least not makjng a fool of herself. She toyed with one of her flowers, thinking.

"I come up with ideas, but then tnink, no that won't work, tnats stupid" she looked down at the flower, clearly not cknfident in herself right now. She let the flower open and close, grow slightly, toying. Phoebe generally got by by being cheerful, by studying things, and by wanting to better herself, but right now, she didn't see how thatwas possible.

"He doesn't seem to have any weaknesses, does he?" She put the flower down, "what tips can you give me on actually fighting?" She asked Ryan, but loud enough so tne rest of the class could here, hopjnv for advice. she was clearly worried. She took a deep breath, steadying nerself. It was just practice, after all.

[Avanhelsing]

Ryan

Ryan watched the screens. He had been trying to think of something to help her. Advice? Well she could not run at him. Her powers might not help. But that was the thing wasn't it. The powers. "You'll be fine. Alright tips. Most of his powers are long distance. So get in close. Don't use your powers too much. He preys on that. Get him in the middle of one of his speeches. He seems to talk a lot. You'll be fine. I know you can do it. " He said smiling.

Jack
Jack looked back at the talking girl. Everyone had done fine but him. He turned and looked rather bored. How much did they have to do? He looked like he wanted to talk but had no idea to who.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe frowned, she thought the ability to defeat someo e laid in your ability to understand them. Was that what Mimic did? Copied their powers, understand them based on tnst? Who knew?

"I'm not good for this, I don't know what fo do" she said, she raised a hand, letting a vine form there, small, not thick, but strong, "I think I'd be better at ranged attacks. But so is he"

she twisted the vine in her hands, then after a moment, let itmove about with just slight edging on her part. She found nerself smiling.

"Alright. So attack when he's talking"

[Avanhelsing]

Ryan
He nodded. "He only hit me by mimicking my power. If you think you can hit him from afar do so. I just thought that up close has worked twice in a row so far. You could just try to tangle him with your vines. Get him down. That also seems to be a weak spot. But in the end, Phoebe, do what your heart tells you to do. That's how I fight." Maryam confessed. It was true. He really did go by what his heart said not his mind.

[KatherinWinter]

"Ive done some practice fighting with my dad. In think the best thing is ovewelm him. The more attacks you can do at once's the better your odds will be. I would suggest use many vines and trying to tackle him at the same time. Katherin suggested.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe stared thoughtfully at the vine, thinking. "Maybe tie him up? But I don't knoe how strong tnese vines are" she looked up, "first day of school, and we're all already getting out butts kicked" she found that amusing, and laughed

[Avanhelsing]

Ryan
"It's a bit unfair. Beating us up this early. I would have eased us into the beatings. Also we have three more classes after this?! I don't think I can manage it. I sort of want to go for a run but I think I would get in trouble." He told Phoebe. He looked at the other girl. "Oh who is your dad? I don't think we've met. Ryan Allen. Flash's kid." He said introducing himself.

[MarshiestMallow]

"You could go for a run and be back before they knew" phoebe pointed out, then said, "and im phoebe" she decided not to mention her mother to too many people at the mome t, although she was sure many could figure it out if they put their minds to it.

[KatherinWinter]

"Katherin Winter daughter of Robert Drake, better known as Iceman." Katherin indroduced herself . It wasgoing to take some time to learn everyones names, not to mention their powers and parent.

[MarshiestMallow]

"So, do you have an alias? Phoebe asked, deciding to make small talk to pass the time, and simply to look away from the screen. She had a bit of a problem with blood, which she was working on.

[KatherinWinter]

"Not yet. Might go with Winter since my powers involve ice and snow, but that seems a bit unimaginative." Katherin didn't mind blood much. One couldn't hang out with x-men without getting use to some bloodshed. Still she had never seen it used as a weapon.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Hm" phoebe thought for a minute or two, "what about flurry? Like snow flurry? Come in, kick butt, and then gone" she suggested, then shrugged, "we havd until the end of tne week to decide anyway"

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin laughed." Flurry is definitely going on my list. I'm not close to your description but maybe by the time I graduate."

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe grinned, "maybe thats what we shouod do. Chose and alias and live up to it" she said, "I guess if we don't like it when we graduate, we can always change it" this made her feel better about choosing one, and oddly enouth, made her feel better abouther fight with mimic, if she didn't do good now, she could always challange him again later, when she knew she could beat him,

Sue

Katherin

…laughed. "Flurry is definitely going on my list. I'm not close to your description but maybe by the time I graduate."

Sue wanted to make small talk – the class was taking longer than she thought it would and though she felt an obligatory need to be compassionate and considerate and watch and support her classmates on TV, it was passing on really slowly for her time to come. Besides, the teacher was sort of feeding off of the students’ inadequacies and it was almost sadistic. Sue tried to come off the thought of it and engage in conversation with this Katherin girl.

Sue got off of Jack’s desk, grabbed her pen and notebook, wrote something down on it, and went up to the two girls. She’d hoped not to interrupt, but she felt that she had not a lot of options available to her anyway.

She tapped on the girl’s shoulder:

”Why not Crystal Shard?, it wrote on her notebook, her face appeared outside the book, grinning.

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin was a little startled when Sue tapped her on the shoulder. She hasn't heard the other girl approaching. The girl wrote something on her notebook before showing it to her. Katherin considered the words. It was an awesome nickname. "That is a great suggestion. Especially if I can master creating ice crystals. Thank you. Sue isn't it?"

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe was curious as to what the girl had suggested. She remember that the girl hadn't been talking at all, and had generally been using sign language to communicate. Was the girl mute? Phoebe shifted to read the note.

She decided not to speak just yet, trying to remember the sign kanguage she knew, which wasn't much.

Sue nodded energetically, again with her index finger to her mouth, and another pointed to her ear, hoping she’d get the message. At this rate, she’d have to do this another ten times throughout the day.

She turned to other girl, and remembered she wrote her name on the first page of her notebook. So she turned to it and showed it to them.

She felt great - she was getting along with these girls nicely. Or at least she hoped it was. No matter, one has to start somewhere and this was Sue’s start.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe made sure that Sue could see her hands, before signing one of the only few sentences she was confident in "I am Phoebe" she continued on by signing, "I don't know many signs well" at least, she hope thats what she signed. She turned to the guy that had been signing with her most of the day, "can you help us here? Sign for us, and for Sue?" She asked
