"Like I said I am the daughter I am the daughter of Iceman. I can manipulate ice. I am doing a lot better then I used to be able to do. Snow is still abit tricky. What about you?" Katherin asked. She was vaguely familiar with his father. But she knew that children didn't always inherent their parents powers. Sometimes they got a various of it instead.

Lance saw as lex dropped his suitcase, he took a quick sneak at the war suit but didn't pay too much mind towards it. "here let me help you" lance said gathering a couple of the fallen papers, he fixes them into a small neat stack and hands them to Lex Luthor. " I wouldn't mind being friends with you" lance said with a friendly smirk on his face.

[SlicerDicer125]

Without saying a word in response, Guido claps his hands twice. Instantaneously, two exact copies appear next to him. Simultaneously, they say with a humble smile, "Nothing earth-shattering, but I think it's kind of cool."

[KatherinWinter]

@SlicerDicer125
Katherin giggled as Guido duplicated himself. She had never see anything like that. She thought it was cool. She would love to be able to do that. She could think of all kinds of ways such a power would be handy. "That looks like a cool power to have. I bet it comes in handy. Especially when doing chores."

[SlicerDicer125]

Guido Prime grins as he reaches out and lays a hand on the clones' shoulders, and the three become one once again. With a pleased look on his face he nods, "Yeah, they're really useful when I want to get out of stuff. But they have minds of their own and sometimes they don't do as I ask. So I usually stick to sending them to learn stuff. That's one thing we always have in common. A thirst for knowledge."

[KatherinWinter]

@SlicerDicer125
"They have minds of their own? That sounds dangerous." Katherin said thoughtfully. She wondered what would happen of Guido lost control of his clones. That could be very dangerous. Maybe all powers had a down side. That made her feel alittle better. She didn't like hurting people but she knew that her ice could be very dangerous. She had learned that the hard way.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Zack smiled. He liked meeting new friends. It was wonderful to have someone new to get to know. "We...well I was glad to help. Power development is starting soon. You should rest a few minutes but don't take long. You should get yourself a small misting fab so thst you can be comfortable in classs. You don't want to be late. Some teachers are ok with it but some arent. You don't ever want to be late for Mimics class. Do you need us to show you the way?"

@KatherinWinter

"Oh, no. That's alright. I will find my own way. I need a quick dip, anyway. I feel a little dry." Kassy wasn't sure she would get another chance to get properly soaked, so she figured she should take a moment. "I will keep that in mind, that this Mimic doesn't tolerate lateness. Thank you for all of your assistance, Zack and Griffin." She took her shoes off, heading in the direction of the pool. Once Zack/Griffin left, she shed most of her clothing and took a quick dip. Just that was enough to make her feel better, and once she was done, she redressed and consulted her map on the way to Power Development.

Once there, she settled near the front of the class, nervously toying with a shiny bit of carved coral. She was excited and anxious all at once. What would the other students be like? Hopefully kind. Hopefully they wouldn't reject her due to her magic...

No, no. She was in a different world now. She had to have hope. Taking a deep breath, she turned to a pair of students. One had fire-red hair, and the other had just been triplets. "Ah, hello!"

It was quite strange to see Kijani flustered, more So to have her not being guarded in the things she said. Unburdened, even slightly, from her past, Kijani seemed more...open.

As she explained how she could fly, eagerly saying what she had accomplished and what she thought could be done, Connor watched her, and so caught the moment she realized what she had said. Perhaps she might have seen the quick jolt that took him at her words, but her own reaction to them seemed to be one of utter shock, and...it wasn't regret...was it fear?

It wouldn't surprise Connor if Kijani had never spoken words of love before, to anyone. But sometimes that made the thing more pure, even if it was more frightening.

So Connor did the only thing he could to reassure her. He took her in his arms, kissing her softly, "why fear Love? Why fear it won't be reciprocated? Face it, my dear, you are stuck with me."

It was, quite probably, cheesy, but since when has that bothered Connor?

@Caits

Kijani made a flustered noise, and buried her face in Connor's shoulder. "It's... it's not fear. Not from you, really. But... I shouldn't have said that so casually. I didn't... I didn't know I even... felt it, if that makes sense? But... I... I guess it's true." Now that she was thinking about it, the words wouldn't pass her lips again. Funny, she could speak about five languages, six if you included ASL. But one little phrase and she was speechless. "Um. I guess we should go to class, huh? I don't feel like hearing Mimic bitch about us this early in the day, but we have no choice." Pulling back, she planted a swift kiss on Connor's cheek. "See you in class." She rushed off and headed in, setting up in the back and silently hoping Mimic wouldn't notice her.

[KatherinWinter]

@Mistress Dizzy
Zack nodded and headed to the door. He hoped that he got a chance to talk to Kassy again. He liked making new friends. And despite his brother's grumbles he knew that Griffin had enjoyed meeting her too. Maybe they would look into the adaptive dorm rooms now that there were more students living in them. After last year he wanted his brother to be as comfortable as possible. It didn't take long for him to reach power development.
@SlicerDicer125
Mimic entered the room and made his way to the front of the room. "Welcome to another year of learning. Since this is the start of the year we have several new people. For those of you who are new my name is Mimic and I can do whatever you can do only better. You will be pitted against me and each other over the year to improve and grow the powers that you have. Since it is the first day I will allow you the choice. You can show off by yourself. You can go against a classmate. Or you can try your skills against me."

[SlicerDicer125]

Upon being greeted by a dark skinned, slightly...moist, young lady, Guido returns her friendly smile with one of his own while replying, "Howdy." Before they get the chance to acquaint themselves, the teacher appears. Without hesitation Guido raises his hand and says, "I'd be happy to go first but my power doesn't really help in the combat other than give me a numbers advantage."

[MarshiestMallow]

"That makes them all the more precious" Connor replied softly, giving a soft sigh as Kijani ran off. He shouldered his pack, and followed after her, not particularly worried about Mimic. The worst he'd do would insist on Connor fighting him. Connor thought back with fondness to the first day last year, conquering Mimic simply by leaping in without warning. Well, at least knocking him flat on his back for a second.

Now he wasn't so useless with his suit, and he had improved, at least somewhat, with fighting skills-q lack in his knowledge that he would seek to improve this semester.

It seemed he was mere moments late, as Mimic was telling the class what they could do. Rather then sneak in, and probably make a fool of himself, Connor set his backpack down and said "well now, it wouldn't be fair to go against any of the new students, so that leaves me with you, Mimic. Shall we have a rematch of last year?"

Sometimes people needed to follow someone, and by doing this Connor could set an example and hopefully help ease in some of the newer students.

Kalinda was in the back of the class as well, curving the shadows around herself slightly to try and make herself invisible without actually going fully into the shadows. Her eyes roamed over the class, studying them all.

----

Harry winced as they were told what they would be required to do for this class. He had never taught in his life, and his powers weren't exactly made for it, except perhaps his strength-which would only be useful if he got a hit in. He didn't want to fight. What if he accidentally met someone's eyes?

He dropped his gaze to the desk in front of him, hoping he wouldn't have to fight

[Zerofighter]

Lex put the files back in his breifcase. "Thank you.." His phone began ringng. "excuse me.." Lex left the room, to a Hllway. No one around. It was a business associate. "Hello?" Sir, we...found it. Lex froze and said "How much is salvageable?" Not much but enough to get the frame for your suit, but thats it. Lex cursed slamming his fist into the wall. "Can you get it sent discretely?" We will try Mr.Luthor

[pkken]

mimic had arrive explaining that they will be show off their powers, Lance smiled he knew the basics around his powers but he wanted to spar with someome. "I'm
Open to spar with anyone" Lance said openly. Despite technically being a freshman he was confident in his powers to defeat anyone in his grade level.

[KatherinWinter]

@pkken@SlicerDicer125
"Numbers only work in your favor if you know how to use them. Why don't you two volunteers go at it and show us what the two of you got." Mimic indicated to the room where they could battle safely. It wasn't as big as the arena, which they would used big battles. But it was big enough to give them some moving room while protecting the others.

[pkken]

@KatherinWinter@SlicerDicer125

Lance looked over at Guido then at Mimic, "Yes sir" Lance said. Lance stepped into the arena, "Only got one chance at a first impression, lets make it a good one" Lance said under his breath. His ring glowed bright his clothes changing into his green lantern attire. Lance then began floating in the air awaiting his opponent fists clenched. Despite being confident he had a slight feeling Guido would put up a good fight.

[SlicerDicer125]

Guido raises his eye brow as Lance reveals himself to be an owner of a green lantern ring. "I really don't think this is going to be a fair fight..." He enters the room while asking Mimic, "Do you have any weapons I can use? Preferably lots of them."

[pkken]

Lance laughs at Guidos joke, "well I'm just a new recruit, I've only had the ring for about a year now" Lance said smiling. "It's a lot harder to use than it looks."

[KatherinWinter]

@pkken@SlicerDicer125
"Fights are rarely fair in the real world Guido. I have tons of weapons. But none that you can use. This isn't weapons training it's power development. Here we focus on developing powers. You can only use what you have with you." Mimic answered sarcastically. He closed and locked the door behiND the biys.

[SlicerDicer125]

Shaking his head Guido sighs, "Let's get on with it then" He gestures with one hand to the floating, green, young man and waits for an opening attack.

[pkken]

"Alright, I'll try not to use anything fatal" Lance said flying towards guido, he clenched his fists and imagined boxing gloves on his hands. A pair of hard green light boxing gloves formed on his hands as he closed in on Guido. "Here I come" Lance says as he throws a right arm jab at Guidos stomach.

[SlicerDicer125]

Guido Prime allows the blow to land, doubling over in pain as two dupes appear on either side of him. After straightening up, the Prime and his dupes start circling Lance before they all attack, each targeting a different body part. One throws a punch at Lance's head, one kicks at his left knee and the last attempting to shove him off balance.
