[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani didn't stand in Magneto's path for more than a second. She knew that she couldn't stand against someone of that caliber- or Kat's either. Best to let them deal with each other. Her mind was working, though. With all her paper, it'd be difficult for Magneto to control her directly. Then again, they were on a plane made of metal...

The sudden jerking of the plane startled her badly, and she found herself grinding her heels into the ground and dropping into a crouch. Without even thinking of it, she drove her papered fists into the ground hard enough to push right through the metal. It effectively anchored her to something solid, and she was quickly back on her feet once everything was right again.

"Magneto, sir... If I may make a suggestion... Perhaps this is not a bad thing, our current path." She stepped forward with confidence, using the paper to keep her feet grounded. With a winning smile, she continued to speak as if there wasn't about to be a fight. "Miss Katla's choices aside... this could be used to the favor of the Brotherhood. You can send Flood and I back to the Academy. They'll debrief us, of course, but... there is a reason for us leaving. The Academy cannot- and WILL not, I might add- teach us everything we need to know. Like my power, I have been gifted with subtlety. No one will know my allegiances no longer lie on the golden path of heroism." In truth, they never had, but Magneto wouldn't have known that.

"What do you think, sir? You can have your own spy within the school."

[Flood]

Flood smiled. Kijani really was quite intelligent. " Not only that but with my previous experience being a spy with SHIELD, I have a vast amount of experience with being a spy. You don't have anything to lose by sending us back to the Academy, but you have a lot to gain." Flood followed Kijani's lead and stepped forward slightly. He made sure he looked as confident and non threatening as possible.

[MarshiestMallow]

Despite the fact that the plane was heading back to the academy, Connor didn't just head back straight there. Instead, he hung back, following the plane, hopefully far enough away that Magneto could use his abilities to control Connor, given that his suit was metal. If magneto was even on the plane. Or even conscious, given the fact that it was returning....

Was this all just a ploy? What was he meant to do?

He hadn't felt so lost in...months. Since coming to the academy. He didn't know where to go from here, where to even begin to think what the future held. No. He was just following a plane, having thought he could have been the big hero.

Was that even what he wanted? Connor wasn't too sure. Then where did that leave him? What was he meant to do? He had always done what was expected of him, but here, he had no idea what was expect of him. Or even if he wanted to follow the expectations. Maybe if he hadn't come to the academy....

But that in itself was a terrifying thought. Not have gone to the academy? To have made friends who were simply friends with him, and not the fame of being a stark? To...even if...kijani. Laughing. So enthused with the flame resistant paper. Standing up for them in the cafeteria. The dance. All of it, so fresh in his mind, so easy to recall...no. He would take this confusion a thousand times over, and a thousand more, simply to have gone to the academy.

So what did that mean? That he had a lot to think about. As the plane made its way to the school, so did Connor. When it was near, he angled downwards, landing smoothly near the gym. It didn't take him long to find his father, Barry Allen, and Clark Kent. As he was walking towards them, the headmaster joined the three. Connor hesitated, for the briefest second, before continuing, removing his mask.

"The plane is returning" he said, "I'm unsure if the situation on the plane, but so no evidence that Magneto was stopping the change of course, so whether or not he is on the plane is debatable. I realized on the way back that it was probably foolish going after someone who could manipulate my own suit. I guess I was just hoping for a chance to give those taken a chance to escape." He shrugged lightly, looking back to the gym, wanting more then anything to not be here. Doing this. If he could have put his hands on his pockets, he would have.

He looked over his shoulder at the sound of running footsteps, and a shout of "Mr Clark!" seeing Phoebe, who seemed to falter like he had, and then a smile bloomed over her face, and a look of relief was evident. She skidded to a stop beside him, "the plane, my plant monster tells me it's coming back! Kat took the plane back! I wish I had more, but once nicholas returned, it only stayed a few more minutes before disappearing, probably hiding in a nook somewhere."

She looked to the headmaster and smiled,
"I'm glad you returned safetly, I should get back to the gym. The wall seems a bit unstable. I think with Katherin, we can create a stable
Structure to hold it up" and then she was gone, running back the way she had come.

"Wait, Phoebe!" Wayne said, and Phoebe merely waved, not looking back.

Connor was slightly perplexed at this. Clark Kent chuckled and said, "did you really expect her to come back when you called Bruce? She's your daughter after all. Besides, there's Magneto to deal with"

The headmaster sighed, and Connor frowned. Then shook his head, watching as they started off, clearly looking for where the plane would land. Connor saw other teachers in amongst the students, and figured they were all back.

He squared his shoulders, and followed the small group to the plane.

Phoebe darted back to the gym, after hurriedly racing off, without much explanation. She found Katherin again, and said "I think we need to close the hole in the gym wall. Before more of it comes down. I was thinking maybe you could freeze my vines? A temporary fix until the walls replaced, of course"

Katherin looked at her friend in surprise. It amazed her still that people found her capable of doing anything. She reminded herself that a few mistakes didnt make her incapable. Her father was always telling her that he didnt expect her to be at the same level he had been at her age. Everyone came to grips with their ability in thier own time and in their own way. She squarred her shoulders. Her friend thought she could do this. More importantly she might be one of the few how could make the 'repair' right now. The longer they waited more damage there would be to fix. "It will only last until the weather warms up. But that should be enough time for them to get it secured atleast. Tell me when your ready."

[Klyix]

Magneto quickly righted himself, leaning a hand against the wall while the plane stabilised. Then Kijani spoke, and he looked over to her. He listened to what he said, weighing her words.

Seeing his attention was distracted Kat worked on undoing the clasps on her vambraces. Getting one off she set to the next only to feel it dragged to the wall beside her; Magneto hadn’t even looked away from Kijani. She growled in frustration but didn’t actively fight it this time.

A spy with the in the academy. It would undoubtedly be useful, but could he trust them? Certainly not to begin with but if they were carefully observed...

“You give me an interesting opportunity,” he said finally. “One I would be remiss to let pass me by. Seeing as we are returning anyways I will call it an act of good faith, two who changed their mind. Though of course you can’t tell anyone, no matter how much you believe they can be trusted.”

Their time was running out as the plane set about to landing, surely it was inevitable that as soon as they touched down they’d be assailed.

[Flood]

"Of course sir. Nobody will find out." Flood smiled. This was too easy. He bowed slightly then stumbled slightly as the ship righted itself.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda decided she valued her life more then she did revealing her presence. So as soon as she could, she slipped away in the shadows, exiting the ship she hoped to make it seem like she had just been waiting by the exit. And not anywhere near the trio.

She leaped down, slowing her fall with her flight, and looked about her. She wasn't surprised to see the teachers already heading towards the plane. Did she tell them? Or should she wait? She could, she knew, use this to her own benefit. She hesitated, and then just stayed silent, where she was. When it became clear they weren't showing her any attention, Kalinda darted off, to be with her thoughts.

"I'm sure a day or two will be enough" Pheobe said, giving Katherin a smile, she looked to the hole, debating about what plants to use. They had to be able to withstand katherins cold. "It's going to take me a moment or two" she said after some time thinking "I'm going to have to modify the plants, activating their freeze tolerance ability"

She began to work, forming plants she thought would work, and give support, and then adding a layer of
Moss, manipulating the plants and creating them to be resistant to Katherins cold. It took her a few moments. "Okay"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani swept a more graceful bow to Magneto, and smiled. "A wise decision, as I would expect from someone of your caliber. Prudent silence goes without saying, sir. I have been well-trained in the rules of this game."

This was just what she needed to be put back on the right track. If her grandmother was so determined to think she was worthless, then Kijani would just rub it in her face when she became a high ranking Brotherhood member...

"How would you like to stay in contact?"

[Eviledd1984]

Reinhardt were watching them in the shadows planning on what he says next and Magneto knows how he works in the shadows and not speaking much," A wise choice indeed..." He thought his thoughts elsewhere his plans were coming to true.

Katherin gathering the winter around her. She wanted the wall to be as strong as she could manage. If they only needed it a few days that was fine. But she had a feeling that repairing the wall wasn't going to be high on anyone's list for awhile. When her friend indicated that she was ready Katherin directed her ice towards the plants Phoebe had created. She slowly build a layer of ice over the plants. She built made the first layer thin to make sure she got every little crevice between plants. Once she had he hole completely covered she reinforced the ice with several layers on both sides. She was nearly exhausted by the time she was done.

"Then we wouldn't speak of it any further then I apologize" Nicholas said calmly fixing his shirt,He felt angry but mostly at himself for not seeing that it wouldn't work and he was being delusional about it."It's fine well what should we do now?Wait for Mr.Kent and Wayne to tell us what to do or try to rescue the others if they need it of course" He said turning to the gym doors not wanting to think if about the recent rejection that made him very sad.

Devika could feel the anger that he was trying to bury. It was mingled with a fine sense of shame, and one of regret. His body was calm, yes, but Devika could tell what he was repressing with each action. Her soul hurt. "Y-you can help rescue. I-- I have to..." Getting up from the bench, she nearly fell over from dizziness before she fled the gym. She got outside and several feet away before she collapsed and started to cry, wailing like a child. Sadness flowed from her in waves, and all around her, the very air seemed to become thick with grief. Plants seemed to shrink away, small animals curled into balls of submission.

Devika wept.

[Eviledd1984]

Nicholas felt bad about what he just did walking outside of the gym with intention to speak to his mother and that it what he was planning,"God dam it" he curesed under his breath walking outside of the school once he made it out made his way to his mother and being scened by Bruce
Wayne.

A ship jumped in from the horizon. Checking her instruments Estella confirmed that the ship had indeed been to this location before. Disjointed memories drifted through her mind as she scoped out the academy through the viewfinder. Seeing the place was strangely settling, as if belonging. But thanks to the ordeal of the last few month it was hard to tell what was safe or not. The worst may be behind, but Estella's previous condition left irreparable damage to her memory. Merely vague recollection of people, places, and things. This also meant needing to fall back to her telepathy to communicate, the words and sounds all swirled and tossed in her head.

Minutes passed with nothing but watching when the ship picked up the two exiting the building separately. Nicholas did not strike a cord on sight. But the girl, something was familiar about her. Drawing a blank Estella sat in her chair and debated what to do. Giving in to curiosity she moved the ship over the academy. At some point something has to be done if she wants answers. Stepping to the hatch and looking down she hesitates before stepping out. On its own the ship flies off as Estella drifts down to the ground using wind. Coming around she could see Devika was crying. The effects of Devika's powers didn't seem to effect her. Even so she kept her distance so as not to startle.

"How would you like to stay in contact?"

"Take these." He said, handing what appeared to be a phone each to Kijani and Flood. "They do not work as usual phones: they will call to me and me only, and are not so easily intercepted." Looking out the window he saw their decent was nearly complete. "Well as it would appear most have departed of their own accord this task has only become easier. I should probably remain here - I'm sure my presence would only inflame the situation - so I will have to rely on you to pass on my message. I bare no ill will, only wished to offer the students another path and needed an opportunity to do so."

The plane bumped and skidded as it landed. "You will have to tell them that she decided to stay though given her lineage I doubt anyone would be surprised." He explained without looking to Kat. "These two will lead you out, though will not step off the plane, God forbid I make any move which could be construed as aggression." He said with a sigh before standing straight and shaking both their hands. "Let's hope this is the start of a beautiful friendship." He said, or threatened, and with that nodded to the two guards he had referred to earlier, who began to lead them out.

[MarshiestMallow]

Bruce wayne watched plane descended, wary of any attack, maintaining his normal composure. As the students that had been caught up with Magneto were led out, he moved fast, and for a minute, it was almost as if he expected his cape to whip around.

He was between the students and the ship, the two guards pushed aside. "Come near my school again, Magneto, and I won't be lenient" He turned to the students, "You will go with Clark and wait for me. I wish to hear what happened" There was only a slight change of tone in his voice, a slight softening. Time, he thought to track tome the other student that had returned.

He turned to Clark, "Make sure they are okay. I won't be long"

Clark nodded, turning towards Kijani and Flood, "Come on" He said, giving them both a smile.

It seemed to be over, for which Phoebe was grateful for. She closed her eyes, and took a eep breath. "Well" She said, looking to Ryan, giving him a smile, then to Katherin, "That was fun. don't want to do it again anytime soon" She said, trying to make light of the situation. "Shall we see about food?"

[Flood]

Flood pocketed the phone and made sure it was in his lead lined pocket. He looked at Clark and analyzed him immediately. Batman and Superman, quite the powerhouses. He then followed Clark with a indifferent look on his face. "So i'm guessing you would like to know exactly what transpired on the plane?"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani had the phone in with the rest of her things. She already had so much- paper, electronics, clothes... basically everything she had on her from the talent show. Magneto's phone wouldn't stand out in so much clutter. Her eyes were trying not to fix on Clark Kent, and think of all the horrible ways that he could crush her like a bug if he had a reason...

"S-sir, I-- I mean, Mr. Kent..." She was a bit afraid, but playing it up quite well. "I... I made a mistake... I just... I thought if I went... if I went, I could be okay, he wouldn't hurt me..." Her gaze kept flickering away, as if she were afraid to make eye contact for longer than a moment or two. "H-he wouldn't hurt us, right Flood? Right?" Her eyes darted to her co-conspirator. Either way he responded, she had set the tone by deferring to him. No one expected the subordinates.

Nicholas watched what Bruce was doing watching him with his sharp green eyes his hand clenched into a fist wanting so badly to hurt or kill him but he wouldn't not now he would have his revenge,Reinhardt had walked
out of the plane and right beside Nicholas with a smile on his face."Quite the show you will put once you exact your revenge on Wayne although I would want to see what plan on doing to her back at him?" Reinhardt said his hands on his side.

"You two go ahead. I think I'm going to call it a day." Katherin replied with a tired smile. She wasnt hungry. She was tired. She waved to her friend and headed out of the gym.
