[IC] New Hero's, old enemies (Jazz and Xion)

[Xion Demente]

Sighing slightly, as Nick ran his hand through his blonde hair. He dropped his backpack on the floor, collapsing into his chair. Today had been a rough day, balancing school and being Patriot really made him tired. Looking over at his clock, he still had an hour before the meeting fury wanted him at. It was something important, or fury wouldn't have bothered contacting him face to face. Though nothing really seemed new to him, his dad had retired from the hero business passing it down to his son. Nick frowned slightly, before reaching for his bag needing to get started on the school work that his teachers had given him.

[Jazz]

Desondra arrived at school with her back back over her shoulder, dark brown hair down, denim jacket, black tanktop, skinny black denim jeans, and black knee high boots. Walking to her locker, she opened it, grabbed the books that she needed for a few classes and shut it. She was like a shadow and was glad that she could hide and not deal with the drama that was in school. Balancing her time as a low profile vigilante. She felt a need to help others and when she found out what she could do, she felt her calling. Walking into class, she sat down in her deck swiftly and set her proper book on her desk. Setting her backpack aside near her desk, Desondra got out her drawing pad and started doodling. She was decent at drawing but it was a passtime. Des knew about the hero's and how some had retired. Some young ones stepped up to the hero business. Waiting for class to start, she leaned back. Not taking notice that Nick Rogers was one row ahead of her and diagonally to her right.

Nick rubbed his face, his book on his desk. Looking over his shoulder to see desondra in her desk, shrugging he looked forward again. He was slightly tired, though nothing he could power through, watching as class started he took whatever notes the teacher gave them. Fun part was for homework they needed to do a report on some of the old Hero's that had retired smiling to that his father would be the perfect person. Bell rung signaling end of day, grabbing his bag and walking out.

[Jazz]

Desondra sagged her shoulders when she was handed a instruction paper to do a report on a retired hero. She knew none personally and there for had to go on unreliable sources to get a paper done. Putting the paper in the proper class folder when when the bell rang, she headed to her next class. It was like any other day really. Go through one class, pass through students like a ghost, not touching a soul, seat herself and not be one to talk, not having any soul to talk to for no one wanted to her for some reason (stopped trying in middle school). Then lunch, sitting in the hallways to avoid any students she didnt know what to say. Gym was a breeze and was known as a rag doll for how flexible and graceful she was. Then go on like nothing happened. but today was a rare day where she wasn't paying attention and would accidently run into someone she shouldnt run into. As she was walking, Des brushed her shoulder into one of the random student that thought he was above those like her who turned, looking insulted. "Hey! ragdoll! Watch where your going!" Des only froze and looked over to the male that yelled at her. "Sorry. I didn't mean to." She told him honestly. "Make sure you don't." He walked up to her and pushed her into a locker sharply. Desondra yelped as she hit it. the male laughed. "Next time it better not happen!" He ripped her backpack off her shoulder, turning to walk away and leave. Des felt pain in her back where her shoulder blades hit metal. Groaning, she reached for her backpack.

[Xion Demente]

Nick was looking down at his phone, getting a text. Before he could read it though, he heard voices though he knew Michael as mostly a jerk. When Michael had passed him, when he pushed a girl into the lockers he let his shoulder roughly hit his. Some students knew not to deal with Nick in a fight, walking forward setting his bag down and helping her gather up the books that were on the floor. His own bag on the floor, the blonde getting books into a neat stack before picking them up.

[Jazz]

Desondra was about to grab some of her books and supplies, she noticed a body helping her. Looking to who would help her, she noticed Nick Rogers. Her emerald eyes looking him like he was alien. "Th-thank you." Was all she could say. No one really helped her so this was strange. Grabbing her supplies putting them neatly in her backpack, she saw a shadow and looked up to see Micheal and a couple of his buddies. "What's your problem?" He demanded Nick. "Was it because I pushed your friend?" He mocked. He kicked Nick's bag to scatter the contents within. But more aimed at Rogers. Des was not happy about him being a jerk and felt the need to stop this. Coming out of her shell, she grabbed an index card and flicked it, leaving a paper cut on his cheek. "You need to stop picking on people under you. Your a bully no one tolerates." She spat, almost like she was cat, squaring herself and spitting at him like her was dog. Micheal had yelped at the sudden pain and the now slightly bleeding cheek, but was amused. "So the cat finally bares it's claws, huh? Was wondering when you would stop being a ghost." He kept his cool with Des not amused by his antics. "You might as well back off before you really get into trouble." Micheal dared. Des wasn't wanting to back off this time.

[Xion Demente]

Nick watched his stuff scatter, it wasn't a big deal to him anyway when it came to his stuff. He grunted at the kicks his torso took, before they stopped he looked up to see Michael had a cut on his cheek. Getting to his feet, one of his arms around his stomach. Though other than that, he was fine some bruises were starting to form on his arms. "Though also Michael maybe it was because you pushed her. It was mostly because of that and the crap you've been putting other students through. If you hadn't caught me by surprise you would be on this floor right about now."

[Jazz]

Desondra glanced her attention to Michael when he kicked him. Hearing Nicks remark, Micheal smirked. "Oh yeah? Think you can do that captain goody two shoes?. Or are you gonna be like that bitch and just bark?" Okay, so Xesondra was pissed and let the anger get the best of her. She wanted him to shut it leave them be. Hiw she went about as you can see was not the best way to take the insults for shs went up toward Michael and back handed him. Michaels buddies were gonna jump Des when a shout rang out. "ENOUGH!" Everything was eerie silent and time froze as a couple staff members came up. Des felt butterflies in her stomach and backed off. "The five of you. Principles office. Miss Davis. Help Mr. Rogers to the nurse's office first. You're stuff will be gathered." The three bullies went to the principles office while Des went with Nick up to the nurse. Her back still hurt and felt it sting with each movement of her arms.

[Xion Demente]

Nick just sighed at michaels remark, before his jaw clenched at his words. He took a step forward when the shout rang out, he stopped when he heard the teachers voice. Letting Des help him to the nurses office, "thanks for back there." He was limping, probably one of michaels buddies got a shot at his shin or ankle he didn't know. Nick just knew his body hurt, it had been awhile since anyone was able to get the jump on him.

[Jazz]

(And I edited that. Oh well. I'll fix it again. Never mind. x3 ) Des walked with Nick with the nurses office not that far. She looked at Nick when he had thanked her. This was still strange and didnt know what she was to say exactly. "You are welcome. I think." She wasnt exactly sure who should be thanking whom. "Though I thank you for helping me." Okay this felt awkward. "I-uh...I haven't been to the principles office before..." Des admitted, and that was true. She had avoided it all till today. Now she had ruined the streak. But felt that it was necessary. "What do you think will happen?" She asked nervously. Making it to the door of the nurses office, she opened the door and managed to shut it. The nurse looked over to the two. "What happen, she asked. "Nick got kicked. And I got slammed into a locker." Des told the nurse. She had the two sit down and checked them out.

[Xion Demente]

Nick shrugged then winced, "Michael and his buddies will probably get suspended and you and me detention at the most." Once in the nurses office, wincing slightly whenever the nurse found a bruise he had a couple bruised ribs and his shin hurt like hell. All of him hurt, "couldn't stand by and let you deal with the jerk. Usually he wouldn't give me any trouble he caught me off guard though." Sighing, "I can probably help you with the report on retired Hero's I have a few things that might help you." Wincing again, when the nurse hit another bruise and then removed his arm from his stomach his stomach took the majority of the kicks one big bruise to the left side of him.

[Jazz]

Nodding, Des waited for her turn as she watched the nurse at work. She too winced when she saw his bruises. Her mind was taken off the bruises and on the offer Nick gave her. She thought about it for a long moment. "Thank you. There are many unreliable sources." Though once she said that she winced loudly as the bruises on his stomach. "Will you...be okay?" She asked. Surprised he wasnt crying like some kids would. The nurse was soon done with her accessment of his injuries. She went to her desk, pulled out some pills from a bottle and a small cup of water. "Its Ibeprophin (I'm sure I spelled it wrong). It should help with the pain. As for your bruises, you can either go home and put some ice on those or continue the last bit of the day. However you might want to stay off the shin a while." She explained. When the pills and water was taken, she then had Does turn away from Nick so the nurse could check her back. Lifting her shirt, the nurse poked her shoulder blades a little as Desondra winced at the right touches. There was no bruising but something that would need a little time to heal. "You will be fine Des. No bruising." So then the nurse went back to her desk and waited for what Nick wanted to do.

[Xion Demente]

Nick nodded to Des's question, "I'll be fine I've had worse than this so don't worry too much." Thinking about it, he nodded to that. "I'll go home let my shin heal up what it can before I come back here tomorrow." While the nurse called his dad, he grabbed a pen and piece of paper writing down his number and holding it out to Des. "Here give me a call and I'll give you the address to my place, so make sure Michael and his buddies get suspended for me." When the pills were handed to him, he swallowed them drinking the water to swallow them down. He wouldn't be out dealing with, anybody that threatened the city tonight Michael had made sure of that.

[Jazz]

Des took the slip of paper from Nick and looked at it to see a phone number as she listened to what he had to say. "Alright " was really all she could say. But stood as when a teacher had both Nick and Desondra's things. She too her bag and looked through the contents to make sure that all was still there. Looking relieved that all was still there, she zipped it up and slung it over her shoulder. "I will call you later then. To let you know what will happen to us both." She nodded to Rogers and left to go await her fate and Nick's for him. After school and when Des got home, she walked in and went straight to her room with her dog in toe. shutting her door, Desondra set her bag down on her bed and grabbed her phone. Dialing the number Nick gave to her, she pressed call and waited for someone to answer.

[Xion Demente]

Nick nodded, watching Des leave. Once he had gotten home, he slowly limped toward his room right now he didn't need to deal with his mom or dad. Collapsing on the bed, he took some of the books or journals that his dad had given him from his old Hero work. Going through them for a few hours, so he could get a head start on the report. He heard his phone ring, stumbling over to his desk. Falling and grunting while grabbing his phone from his desk while he still was on the floor. "Hello?" His voice sounded somewhat frustrated. With not being able to walk right for awhile, but nothing less it was nothing to much to worry about.

[Jazz]

When the phone was answered, Des heard a frustrated hello. "This is Desondra, from school. You alright?" She asked, thinking it was Nick, but the voice was slightly different than speaking to him personally. When he gave her an answer, she took a deep breath and laid back on her bed. "We both have 4 days of in school suspension. If I hadn't of hit one of Micheal's buddies with my bag, it would have been less, They did not mention the paper cut I gave micheal from a study card. Micheal and his friends have out of school suspension for 2 weeks." She told him. "I managed to get homework from your last class. Would it be alright if I could come over and give it to you?" Des asked next. She felt it was the least she could do for him helping her.

[Xion Demente]

Nick laughed slightly, "yah I'm alright my rooms a mess from trying to find old journals and books I stumbled and fell." It didn't sound so bad, as long as he had something to pass the time with. "Michael and his friends deserve what they got, anyway yah it's fine to come over though don't expect my room to be clean." He pushed himself into the sitting position looking at the books scattered around, "either way I was going to help you with that report. I'll make sure my parents know your coming over, they don't really like surprise visits from anyone."

[Jazz]

Des sat up as she grabbed two pieces of paper. One of them she was gonna write a note of where she was to be, that her phone was gonna be with her and what time she was gonna try to be home by. The other was the address of Nick's house. "What is yours address?" She asked, ready to write it down when he told her. After the address was given, Desondra grabbed her bag, what else she may need and would head down the stairs with her phone still in hand and with Nick still on the other line. Heading to the kitchen, she grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. "I'll see you when I get there, then." She would then hang up and head out after having taken Drake to the back so he wasn't cooped up in the house. She had placed the note on her door and left by motorcycle. It wasnt a fancy one but got there from point A to point B with no issues. Upon arriving to the right address, and making sure. Desondra parked her cycle turned it off. Putting the keys in her pocket and her helmet aside. Walking over to the door, she knocked, gripping her bag out of being nervous. She had never gone to someone's house before unless it was family. This was different, this was going to be someone where she hadn't been to. People she didn't know.

[Xion Demente]

Nick gave her the address before turning on whispers in the dark by skillet, "hey dad I'm having a friend come over so then I can help her with a report." Steve heard his sons yell. "Alright!" Sighing nick did the best he could putting the stacks of books on his bed his room looked a bit better but not by much. Hearing the knock Steve opened the door, "so you must be the friend Nicks helping. Come on in," he moved to the side of the door. "Also Nick probably has his music on in his room so be careful with whatever he's working on now with his music he won't be ready for someone to yell at him or surprise him."

[Jazz]

Desondra looked as a blonde male opened the door. She looked at him to notice who it was. Steve Rogers. She entered when given the permission, though stopped when Steve spoke, She nodded. "I understand. My name is Desondra Davis. It is pleasure to meet you." She said. Then walked up to find Nick's room. She followed the music and had noticed that most of it was something she listened to. When Desondra found the room, she knocked on the door loud enough so Nick could hear it.
