[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

Anthony shakes his head, "All of the necessary preparatory steps are taken, except for taking Sue's measurements. I have the parts, ergonomic materials, the tools, and lab where we can build it. Oh, and I do mean we. I plan on taking part in the building, I just figured it'd be faster if I split the work with someone, and you're the only other person qualified." He smiles as his eye's return to normal, "Thank you for agreeing to assist me. If you don't mind my asking, what are you helping Kijani with? Perhaps I may be able to help you."

Nodding again Estella smiled. Alright. I have to admit I never thought I'd run into someone that would welcome me into their mind like this. Still a little strange.

Since she was able to talk to Zack and attend class at the same time she continued on to class. Estella was a special case. In a lot of classes that were just knowledge she could usually read surface thoughts and understand the information. This made her an extremely fast learner. There were still concepts that she needed work on. Still, there was only so much could learn in one day. Even her brain needed a rest.

After all this time Estella was finally granted access to the ship that had brought her to Earth. She wasn't much of a mechanic though, so in this case she was actually going to class to learn more about just that thing. Hopefully after classes were said and done she could grab Connor for some help.

Phoebe poked her tongue out at Sue, on response to her behavior over Ryan coming over. It was easy to be childish with Sue. She signed, "good, I'll leave my dorm unlocked so just come over anytime. There's good and such"

"Sue is a friend. Of course I will help her. Of you give me the materials I can start tonight" Connor folded the blueprints, "she wants to proof her papers against fire and water. I'm
Okay there. I know what I'm doing. I just want to get her to do it thanks"

[Avanhelsing]

Ryan looked at Phoebe. "So our date is canceled? I thought we were going bowling. " He asked wondering why the change.

Jack nodded. "You'll find the one. If a loner like me make a connection..." He said getting why he had sat down to talk to Ben. Their powers. He knew that his own natural web slingers weren't coming in. He figured Ben was the same. "So no natural slingers? I thought Dad said they'd be in by now..." He said clearly disappointed.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe smiled at him "we are going bowling" she said "I would never cancel our dates" she said, finishing off jer food, "I like them too much. Its nice to get away, just us from the school"

Why would we not welcome you? You are apart of us. Mother says we should welcome anyone who comes to our minds. Every personality serves a purpose. Zack replied. He still wasn't sure why Estella was with them, but her presence was welcome.griffin wasn't much of a talker. Zack usually had no one to talk to when he was inside.

Anthony shakes his head and deftly snatches the blue prints from Connor's hand, "No, I'll wait to give you the materials." He stands and says, "Let me know when you finish helping Kijani." He picks up his tray and brings it to an empty table to eat as he goes over the blueprints yet again. "And another one bites the dust," he thinks.

John gets out of his morality class slightly later than the other students, having had a brief conversation with Magneto. He makes his way to the cafeteria and as usual, is greeted with an eight egg omelet, loaded with bacon, ham, sausage, bell peppers, jalapenos, cheese, hash browns and chives. He makes his way to a table, winking at Kalinda as he passes her.

Ben nudges Jack with his elbow and says comfortingly, "Hey, come on. You're awesome with those web shooters you and dad built together. Between you and me, he's actually developing a variety of web fluids for you. They're supposed to be a birthday present though, so don't let him know that you know about them." He grins and continues, "So who is it that you've made a connection with, little bro?"

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor chuckled "yeah cause I don't have a good memory" he said turning to Austin, shaking his head "I don't like him very much either, but I will help him for Sue." Connor could get the materials himself as well, but decided just to let Anthonh have his little power over them. He started to eat.

Kalinda looked up, rolled her eyes and flicked a Brussels sprout at John when he passed and winked at her. "I always did hate them. I don't know why I grabbed it. Came in use though" she laughed, and her laugh had more feeling and warmth in it then her voice did.

[knight125]

Something small, sharp, and white darts out from John's neck, spearing the vegetable in midair. John flicks the bitter green away from him, which accidentally causes it to hit Austin square in the face. John chuckles at Kalinda, then continues eating his food.

[MarshiestMallow]

Well that was interesting, Kalinda thought. Just who was john? She hadn't been able to figure out who his parents were. Yet. She pushed her tray away, with it's half eaten food, and stood. What t do now, she mused.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika exhaled silently, letting out a low and calming breath. She'd never been in a school this big before. It made sense, considering the type of students it was for. It was quite busy, as well, a lot more than she'd thought it would be. That meant there were a lot of people like her. Whatever that meant. She had no idea what she really was. A mutant? A metahuman? An alien? She'd never questioned her own identity so hard as she had within the last year. Nothing else mattered- her grades had gone to hell, she could barely concentrate at work. Luckily her parents knew a lot of people. Even the good guys needed legal defense sometimes, and so they'd called in a lot of favors to get her enrolled.

Her schedule stated that she should be in lunch right now, and she was making a beeline for the cafeteria. She could feel the emotions concentrated within, which lined up with what should have been a crowd of teens and young adults. She started up another calming breath and started focusing, imagining her mind as a maze of walls that looked like something out of an MC Escher painting. Once she was sure she was suitably prepared, she stepped into the cafeteria.

She could feel the emotions hitting her from all sides, around her like she was a goldfish in an empty aquarium. It had been a while since she'd gone to such a large, public place. By the time she got a tray and started to load it with food, her hands were shaking lightly with the effort of keeping her walls in place.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda saw a new girl-well they were all new to her, getting food, hands shaking. She recognized this. When she was overwhelmed, she had those same shakes.
She blinked bit her lip then went up "hi" she said

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika was struggling slightly with the effort of keeping her walls up against so many people at once. A slight, dark haired girl came up to her and simply said hi, and Devika found herself struggling to smile. "Hi." Her voice would sound flat and odd- the stronger her emotional walls became, the less emotion she could show.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda recognised d the tone, she nerself used it often, especially when trying o distance herself from others emotions.she glanced about, and said, "do you want to get away from the crowd? I have been here a few hours, so I'm adapting to the emotional onslaught, but you seem to be having trouble"

She gently took the tray of food, so the girl wouldn't drop it. Kalinda herself had to concerntrate still, and would for days to come, but like she had said, she had been at the school longer it seemed.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika's smile grew a bit more. "Is it that obvious that I'm new?" She would have laughed but she couldn't have summoned the joy if she tried. "Yes, please, outside sounds wonderful." She was glad the girl had taken her tray, because her hands were shuddering. She pressed them together and looked around for a door.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Only because I am new myself" kalinda said, "also because I recognise the signs of impending emotional instability" she led the way outside to somewhere less populated by students, "I'm Kalinda" when she was satisfied they were far enough away, she sat down, setting the girls tray of food down.

"I bet you need some calm emotions right about now. I'm pretty calm" kalinda said, then went about the process of letting her own blocks down, and therefore enabling the girl-is she could indeed sense emotions, to sense kalindas. If that didnt work, Kalinda could always calm the girl down herself, assuming her emotional manipulation worked on another who could deal with emotions.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika let her walls down slow, one by one. She felt Kalinda's calmness and was encouraged by it, so she relaxed and let the rest drop. Finally she smiled at Kalinda, and in a normal voice introduced herself. "I'm Devika. Thanks for your help. It's been a while since I've been around that many people. I usually avoid it, for reasons I'm sure you can understand." She started doing the deep, calming breaths she'd been taught all her life.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda smiled, "yes, the last year has been extremely challange for me, I have had to learn control and fast, but it seems to get harder every day. So I begged my mother to come here I don't want my powers to control me"

she found herself laughing, "I came in on gym. Dodgeball, so emotions were pretty high there. Besides the sport stuff, there were a few awkward emotions from guys watching the girls. Needless the say, I quickly developed my blocks. It is hard surrounded by people to maintain them though"

She brushed her dark hair back, her green eyes shining with mirth, perhaps the only emotion she had that didntseem to want to destrory her was joy. she hadnt had much opportunity for It the last few months.

[twave]

Running a bit late Estella made it to the cafeteria. She got her food and sat down in her usual spot. She was lost in thought. Again, today was the day she would have the chance to examine the ship that brought her here.

According to what she was told nothing new was really discovered inside it. But there had to be more. Before being launched she saw that her people had placed things inside it. But she didn't know much about the ship itself, or the technology. it mat have been from her world but she was never taught about such things.

Austin shook his head then muttered," I wouldn't allow him in my head." He watched Anthony for a moment until a Brussels sprout hit him straight in the face. A growl escaped his mouth, his lips pulling back over his teeth in anger. His fur bristled and her ran his hand over his face, trying to make sure no peices of green stuck in his fur. This was only the second time that Austin had really shown any anger. The first was when Anthony pushed Connor. He took a deep breath, slowly relaxing himself. He didn't like being angry, and he wouldn't be angry when he was only hit in the face with a vegetable.
