[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[Flood]

"Can she instantaneously teleport?" Flood asked.

[Eviledd1984]

"No but she get here quite quickly with her vines.." Nicolas was already at the front of the main entrance waiting for his mother to arrive.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe knew the instant Pamela landed on the academy grounds. There was a subtle shift in the plants, reacting to her presence, something Phoebe had noticed when she was with her mother. It was almost like a child reaching for their mothers hands, to wrap one small pudgy hand around a finger.

It had been a few hours since classes had finished, and Phoebe was just outside her dorm, thinking, but the minute there was that shift, she looked up, rising. She knew where she was. She wouldn't have gone through the main gate. No.

But Phoebe went that way, and sure enough, she saw Nicholas "if you are waiting for her, she isn't there. Feel the plants. She's at my garden. Only one camera there. And she likes that spot too" she didn't stop to see if Nicholas followed her. She just continued walking. Part of her wondered if she should bring Ryan, go back and get him, but last time....no. Not quite ready for that again. "Do not follow, Flood. She wouldn't like that. And she's more powerful then me, and wouldn't mind beating you up some. She'll know if you try and hide too. Last time that happened, she kissed away Anthony's memory of her. I'd rather not see that again. It was disturbing"

She kept to her same walking pace, but as she neared her garden, it because a bit faster. And she saw her step out from behind the same tree, which she had curved around her. "Phoebe" there was such joy in her mothers voice that Phoebe laughed and hugged her. "Mum" she stepped aside quickly though, "I tried to teach him some, but he feels neglected and I guess he called you"

Pamela was looking ahead, waiting. She went to take a step forward, but stopped. She looked tonPhoebe and she smiled. she probably feels neglected to, and yet, she still cares for others, still cares for the unknown sibling she has, and still puts others before herself. Her strong relationship with plants hasn't stopped her having a normal life. Well, as normal as it can get in anycase. Did she get the best of both of us, Bruce? Or is this the result of living in an orphanage? And Nicholas...I've done wrong by both of them. But Phoebe had a strong foundation. Nicholas...I don't know what I can do to help, if anything. But I will do my best. Just keep him safe. Keep him away from Nicholas, and don't let it known I'm here, please Bruce. she pondered about herself. If she'd had a better histriy, if she hadn't gotten her abilities the way she did, would she be what she was today? Not even what she was today....but what she had been. A villain. she only started a life of crime to attain sufficient funds to find a location to be alone with her plants, undisturbed by humanity. That still seemed like a good reason to be a criminal, but now....

There was Phoebe and Nicholas. And Bruce. The only one she'd ever had trouble control. That still puzzled her to this day. No doubt it would continue puzzling her forever. She chuckled softly im still more human the plant. And that's a surprise there.

She looked ahead, and waited for Nicholas.

[Eviledd1984]

Nicolas was right behind Phoebe with a sort of scold or a rather blank look on his face,His mouth held shut with a grimace looking over first at Phoebe then to his mother."Hello...mother...when do we start..." He said in his dead tone of voice,He wanted to kill her but over the phone he felt he couldn't he wanted to bond a concept that he wouldn't think of at first but would make sense as of now.

But he could kill Bruce Wayne and no feel any regrets even if his mother or Phoebe tried to stop him then he didn't know what to,"No one will touch my mother again...I will be the only one to love her...but i can't feel anything...Father you taught me to be emotionless study everything to the T but im not like you not yet of course..." He thought to himself walking over to his mother.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Tomorrow, for starters. The sun is falling" Pamela said softly, "and if rather do this in the mornings in any
Case. I won't be staying in the grounds. The surrounding forests will be okay for me" she said "you wanted me here, I'm here." She wanted to be able to do more, but knew it would be better to wait. "If you wake up an hour early, I'll find you." She nearly stepped forward, to hug Nicholas, but hesitated, put off by his tone "if you want, we can talk"

[Eviledd1984]

"Yes a talk will be needed..." Nicholas said motioning for her to follow him,They would have to head to his dorm room it would be more private and they would not be disturbed by any on lookers or Bruce Wayne.Speaking of that Nicholas made a mental note to kill him he tries anything to him or his mother.

[MarshiestMallow]

Pamela shook her head, "No. Here. At the back of the garden. I won't get any further into the school. Right now, I can avoid the Camera's here, and avoid being seen" She said, "Besides, you really think in this school, anywhere is really private? There's probably mind readers, people with super hearing and the likes. Here, I can have the plants at least warn us if anyone approaches"

[Eviledd1984]

"Very well..." He said calmly walking to the garden but was quite during the trip not wanting to be heard form anyone else,Their was so many things he wanted to ask her and so many questions that needed to be answer.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe said goodbye to her mother, and headed off, deciding that she wasn't required to be there, and feeling like she would just be intruding. She smiled, waved, and jogged off, frowning and heading to the girls dorm rooms again, deciding that perhaps a quite night in was what she needed.

---

Pamela stared to walk to the back. She was quite, but moved with a grace among the plant's that showed she was aware of the plants around her, and reached out to touch them, but they were all quite healthy, and she smiled. She wouldn't expect anything less with Phoebe.

She settled down against a trunk of a tree, whiich she molded slightly to create a comfortable seating position. "Okay"

Kalinda, bored, had began to wander the school, but could find little of interest. She had heard there was going to be a talent show happening, but didn't know if she would enter. Especially since she was more then sure she would succumb to stage fright. Eventually, she just found a place to sit, looking up at the sky, and let herself relax, let herself review the day and let herself strengthen her defenses again

[KatherinWinter]

Zack sat in the middle of the of school grounds discussing the talent show with Griffin. His brother was being difficult not wanting to cooperate. "It will be good for you. People need to know your capable of more than fighting." No one cares what other skills I have. Only the one matters. "That isn't true. There is more to you the fighting."

[Eviledd1984]

"Yes their were a few things first I wanted to know why you left me with him...was it to take care of Phoebe?" He asked walking closer to her now standing in front I her with even more questions.

[MarshiestMallow]

Pamela shook her head. "No. I didn't meet Phoebe until this year" She said, unafraid as he stood over her. "I left for two reasons. One, because if I didn't, I doubt either of us would be alive now, and second.. because I was weak. I would have torn the place aside to take you back...the only issue was if I had tried, you would have died"

[Eviledd1984]

Nicholas took all of this information that he was was told and was coming up with another question that he could ask her,"So it wasn't because you have to take care of Phoebe....okay then why would you have killed me?Because i was HIS child?Some sort of anger...Well i do not blame you because without you rescuing me like a knight in shining armor then i would not be the same person i am right now" He said in a cold sort of tone a juxtaposition of him crying moments ago on the phone.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika left class and went to an isolated part of campus, where there was grass, trees, and not much else. She'd pulled up emotions for the fight that hadn't happened, and now she had to get rid of them safely. She inhaled and exhaled in the familiar steady pattern, and let the fear and sadness drift out of her like petals on a breeze. Once she felt back to normal, she flopped back into the grass and sighed.

--

Kijani headed out of the class, her mind spinning with thoughts of the talent show. She could perform a dance; that would be easy to put together on short notice. Perhaps she could get her groove back. She grabbed a quick lunch to go from the cafeteria, and ate it on the way back to her room. When she neared her door, she saw a package sitting there. It was fairly long, and rectangle shaped. "Huh. I don't remember ordering anything." Balancing her food on top of the package, she headed inside and set everything down, exhaling slowly in relief as she kicked off her shoes. "Let's see here." She checked the package for info- it had her name and the school's address, but no return address to be seen. "Hm..." She opened it up carefully, and nearly dropped it when she saw what was inside.

Her sword lay neatly nestled in it's scabbard, carefully set between foam bricks to keep it from moving. Inside was a piece of paper. With shaking fingers, she reached for it, and read what was there.

You'll be needing this. -A

Trying to ignore the way her insides had gone cold, she set the note aside and took out her sword, unsheathing it and examining it carefully. It was well shined, oiled, clean, in the same condition she'd left it in before...

Pain shot across her torso, and she flinched. Kijani had to hang her head and struggle to get her breath back together. Suddenly the room was too small, too suffocating. She hastily put her shoes back on, grabbed her bag, and rushed out to get air back into her lungs.

Pamela's anger rose, and the plants around her responded in kind, twisting towards her, protectively, and she resisted having them attack nicholas, "Why" She said, her tone dangerously deadly, "Would I want to kill you? Open your ears Nicholas, and stop just listening to some of my words. i was told I couldn't have children, so why would I want to kill either of you? As long as your father had you, he had power over me. And I was helpless to do anything, for fear that he would kill you to spite me" She rose, and continued speaking. "Now that you are here, at the school, away from him...I will not let him have you again"

She looked away, unable to concieve that he could think she would ever kill him. It hurt her that he could think that, and it made her sigh.

Connor had stayed in the classroom for a time, looking out the window, thinking. He did so quickly, and with a serious expression on his face. He slowly rose when the classroom emptied, taking out his suit. There was so many things he wanted to be able to do, to make the world a better place, and yet, he couldn't do half of them, not yet.

He sighed, and shot into the sky when he put his suit on, and was outside. He was at the city in a matter of minutes, enjoying the breif flight. He wasn't at the city long, nor did he go to more then one place.

As he returned to the school, determination flooded through him. He wasn't going to give up, and he would continue to strive for things he wanted to be able to accomplish. As he landed, his suit folded into the easy ccare backpack form, and he held the square parcel in one hand, as he headed to Kijani's dorm room, and stopped dead as she bolted out her room, dropping the parcel and catching her to stop her from crashing into him, reacting instinctively, he let her go, seeing that she was having some sort of panic attack, and not wanting her to freak out.

"Kijani!"

[Eviledd1984]

"That is one point I wanted to learn and I thank you for that,Now for my next question...How long will you be here to train me?" He wanted to ask if she was going to see Wayne and that fact alone made him angry wanting to kill him for it but wouldn't.He mostly wanted to know if she could teach him as much as she knew so he could be prehaped to fight and not lose like last time.

His vines were moving around the grass and was touching Devika's side it was some of Nicholas vine wanting to talk to her but mostly signalling her of his new powers and wanting to speak about it.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani crashed into something solid, and she jerked her head up. She stared at Connor with wide, distant eyes, only realizing it was him after several seconds. Once she did, she hugged him tight, her whole body shaking. "...G-get me out of here." Her voice was high pitched and strange, as if her breath was barely there.

--

Devika was half asleep when something brushed at her arm. Thinking it was a bug, she panicked and flailed, swatting at the sensation. Once she realized it was nothing more than a creeping vine, she relaxed. She poked at it, and realized that it was moving a bit. "...weird."

The vine poke her again then revealing to her a piece of paper of wanting to meet her soon but not now because he was still speaking to his mother.A plant was handed to her as a small gift.
