[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika gazed at John for a moment, her brown eyes full of doubt. "It's not an underestimation if I have no skill. I mean, sure, my empathy is one thing, but I'm useless in a fight." She dropped her head again, pushing back her thick curls. "...did I tell you I graduated top of my class?" A weak smile made her lips wobble. "I mean, if this school had grades, I'd probably be failing."

Kijani sat on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Anthony's words were rolling through her head. She wanted to relax and prep for the mission tomorrow, but she couldn't. She swung her legs over the side of the bed, and sat up, looking toward her stuffed bookcase.

A book dropped off of it at her glance.

Kijani blinked, then rose up. She extended the tiniest thread of her will, and the book flopped over like a live fish. Her eyes went wide, and she made a sweeping gesture with her hand. The books responded, spilling from the bookcase in a cacophonous wave. "...." Her jaw dropped, and she rushed to get her cell phone. She redialed Anthony's number, and as soon as she heard it stop ringing, she spoke with barely contained emotion. Which emotion, though, was unknown.

"What. Did. You. DO?"

[knight125]

Anthony, now home and enjoying a glass of Henri Jayer Richebourg Grand Cru, an exquisite French wine, lets the phone ring for a few seconds after reading the caller ID. "Let her wait," He thinks. Once he decides that Kijani has waited long enough, Anthony answers the phone and responds calmly, "I returned that which was stolen from you."

John laughs, "Most of the people here would be failing if there were grades. A lot of the students don't start doing everything their teachers said until they're out in the field and have been beaten up several times. Besides, you can hold your own in a fight. Remember when you fought that blue haired chick? She couldn't do anything to you. Maybe you could learn some Judo or Aikido?"

[Flood]

"Right then. Good bye." Flood said with the slightest hint of sorrow in his voice as he left. He began to wander the halls as he cried a little. 'Rejection, always rejected. No one will talk to me. They all just turn me away. Reject me. Reject me. Reject me.' He repeated to himself in his head as he began walking. When he finally stopped, he realized he had wandered into the city. He was in front of a weapon store, one he had occasionally tried to buy from. They always turned him away though, calling him a freak. "No more rejection." Flood thought as he took out a lighter and walked to the gas tank at the back of the store. "No more." He repeated as he lit the gas tank and ran away. He ended up back at the school and thought to himself the words that would change his life. 'I am Flood. I will not be rejected. I will not allow anyone to reject me, for no one will get close enough to do so. No more repression. Only madness.' He said as he began setting non lethal traps throughout the school. 'Only madness.'

Kijani was pulling on her shoes, and checking her hair in the mirror. "Send a car for me. I need to discuss tomorrow's events with you. In person." Despite the energy in her voice, she sounded very serious. "There needs to be no room for doubt in this, and I have questions."

Devika blinked at Flood, backing a few steps away. It was as if her mind itself was recoiling from his presence. She shook it off, before speaking to John. "Wait, you..." She thought back to the fight, at how Kyra had tried to fight her down. But she couldn't, because despite all of Kyra's power, Devika had at least 75 pounds on her and literally couldn't be moved. "You... may have a point. But... I don't know anything about martial arts. And I'm way out of shape." She looked down, poking at her midsection, which was not as soft as it used to be, but was still pretty squishy. "You really think I have... potential?"

[knight125]

John sighs, "Devika, look at me. I wouldn't lie to one of the only friends I have, alright? Of course I think you have potential."

Anthony frowns, displeasure obvious in his voice as he asks, "Is that a request... or an order?"

Kalinda shrugged "I have no idea. I don't even know where we are. Just walking at the moment" she needed metal and wire but figured there would be some at the school

"Should we head back to the school now? I think the limo was over there somewhere." Nacelle pointed to the area behind them with a shrug, she had no idea if the driver was still waiting in the parking lot for them

[KatherinWinter]

Connor nodded and gave her a smile, "I'd be happy to" he said, shifting to start to the girls dorms, he knew it hadn't been a prank call, but he wasn't going to call her on that, she did look weary. So, he just offered a smile, and a hand as they walkedKalinda heard the words, but she was still suspicious. In her experience, no one did anything without wanting something. But she sighed and said "thank you"

"I think you forget that the cold doesn't bother me. I like the cold." Katherin replied with a chuckle. She held up a mini dress.

Devika went a bit red, but seemed pleased after she looked up at him. She hadn't realized they were friends. "Oh. I guess you would know." She smiled faintly, and this one was real. "So, is there anyone you'd recommend to teach me?"

Kijani bit down on her lip to keep herself from saying something that would make him hang up. "Oh, come now, Anthony, I wouldn't overstep my boundaries. I'm merely trying to anticipate the most logical course of action before you had to waste time telling me what it was that you've already done." She smiled faintly. "Can I assume that my ride is on the way, Mr. Luthor?"

Kalinda shrugged "I don't see why we have too. It's not late yet" she said, "and I'm hungry" she looked around for a place to eat

Phoebe laughed "the cold bothers me" she said with amusement, "then you will surely turn heads"

Nacelle pulled her credit card from her wallet and wiggled her eyebrows. "Might as well give you the full experience." She giggled and grabbed Kalinda's hand, pulling her across streets until they found the five star restaurant her father had taken her to before she left and went to the academy, though the food was exquisite like the other five star restaurants, it was expensive. She was dead.

Kalinda squirmed. She didn't much like people paying for things for her, but what could she say? "I don't eat meat, at all, it makes me sick" she said automatically

[CallaLily180]

"They have all kinds of food, I also refuse to eat steak. It makes me feel snobby when I look across the street at a burger place." Nacelle sighed and started to flip through the menu, finally she found the vegetarian side. "Here you are."

A waiter came over to them with a small handsome smile, he looked at the two and opened a menu of his own as he pointed to the drinks so they wouldn't have to look. "Hello madams, what would you like to drink this evening?"

"Just because I am wearing a dress in the middle of winter?" Katherin asked. "If I had known that I would have do it long ago. I have mostly been wearing pants to fit int."

Kalinda took the menu, studying what was avaliable. She read it thoughtfully, tired of salads. "I'm 17, so no" kalinda said with a laugh, "however, I will take a coke" she offered the waiter a smile. "Thank you"

She returned to the menu, musing what go get. The vegetarian lasange sounded good. She looked up at Nacelle, "I am...sorry if I have offended you. I guess I'm just not use to having friends who want to buy me things, without the need for something in return"

Phoebe giggled, "katherin, no one fits in at the academy. Thats why everyone fits in there. Go, try on the mini skirt" she said encouragingly,

KatherinWinter said
"We would love to be your friend." Zack replied by hugging her to him. "We are very protective of our friends as well."

Kyra blushed slightly. "Th-thanks." she said, laughing.

"I suppose you are right. So much for my logic." Katherin giggled as she headed to the changing room.

Anime_Freak said

"You are welcome." Zack replied with a smile. "What do you enjoy doing?"

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe grinned, going to try on some of ber clothes, a d returning with a handful that she wanted. She wanted for Katherin, smiling

Katherin was enjoying herself. She had forgotten how much shopping could be. Especially when it was done with someone who was having nearly as much fun as she was. Katherin like the dress and decided it would be what she would wear tomorrow. When she left the dressing room Katherin paid for the dress. "We need to do this more often Phoebe. Atleast once enough if not more often."

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe nodded, laying for her things as well. "I know, we do" she agreed, "ditch the boys and kick up our heels on town!" She laughed and said "let's go eat!"

[KatherinWinter]

"What are you in the mood for?" Katherin asked her friend.
