A beat of silence met Adam's question before Mia shrugged. "Oh, fine." She waved a hand towards the nearest school building. "Getting ready for the joy of this semester's piles of homework, that's all."

She tilted her head to one side and looked at him, temporarily ignoring the lure of the search to answer Adam properly. Damn, she really didn't know anything about him except for the most mundane rumors. She was pretty sure almost half of the students had been rumored to be gay or lesbian at some point during their time here, so that didn't tell her much. It was like the rumor that was slapped on when there was nothing else more interesting to be found. And the other one... him a robot? Come on, seriously?

She couldn't think of something good to ask Adam. "And, you? Decided on which class is your least favorite yet? Joined any new and interesting clubs?"

@VampireOracle

“No clubs yet. Might take up chess, or something similar. As for classes... Math is dull. P.E. isn’t much more challenging.” Adam replied. He glanced at her, mentally considering the rumors he’d heard. Ghosts weren’t real, he knew. That rumor about her disposing her boyfriend was more interesting. But she seemed too... normal to do that.
And what judge of normalcy are you? he thought to himself. You grew up on the streets, and then in a lab.
But that was in the past. No point in dredging up ancient history.
“Where’s the last one, you think?” he asked. “I’m thinking by the stage.”
He tugged his coat sleeve over his wrist tattoo, which had briefly been visible.
Ancient history.

The question of prank or accident was pretty much solved when a third alarm started ringing. Oh, geez. How many were there going to be? There couldn't possibly be too many more waiting to go off, right…? Even with more people starting to get in on the search now, it would be a headache if they had to find them all before Phoenix could continue. He was still standing up there, the poor guy.

At least now she and Adam had reached the picnic tables. "It’s got to be around here somewhere,” she mused, more to herself than to anyone else. Then she turned to Adam. "Alright, now we can try to pinpoint where exactly it is. Choose a table and get started.”

Nothing sitting on the table. Not on the bench part. Not under, not around it. Mia moved on to the next nearest table, frowned as that seemed to make the sound grow softer, and backtracked to choose a different one. Half a minute later, she was sure that this was the place. It was definitely loudest here, so…

Where?

That was when she saw it. The alarm was nestled in a small hollow created where a branch connected to the trunk of a tree, one that shaded the table during hot months. It was a splash of bright blue, just at eye level. Mia snatched it out and hit the silver button on its top. Silence, blissful silence from this one, at least. She rubbed her thumb lightly over the writing at the back--room number of its owner?--before grinning and holding it up over her head.

"Found the first one!" she called out. Still clutching the offending alarm in one hand, she let her bag drop roughly to the ground and performed a one handed round off. She landed neatly, and let out a whoop.

Mia couldn't help it. She was a cheerleader, after all, and they had to show a little enthusiasm. The deed done, she slipped the alarm into her bag and prepared to continue searching.

@VampireOracle

Adam began searching, looking under the tables as he walked by. He kept an ear out, getting closer and closer to the source of the sound. Finally, he dropped onto his hands and knees and crawled under one table.
”Here’s one!”Adam shouted. Then he crushed the beeping alarm into a ball of plastic and metal.
Whoops, he thought. That was a mistake. He sometimes just did that.
He chucked the ball into a garbage can, and brushed his hands off.
“So, Mia, how are you?” Adam asked awkwardly. He wasn’t great at talking to people in general, but he’d been encouraged to socialize with others.

Mia looked over as the black haired teen appeared beside her. Adam was somewhere in the year below her, wasn't he? Quiet guy. She didn't stop walking but nodded quickly at him. “Hey." She waved an arm vaguely towards the picnic benches farther out on the lawn. "I think I hear it coming from over there, so that's where I'm starting.”

But there were two alarms, weren't there? It made her feel like she was walking in the wrong direction because while she felt like it was getting louder, the other alarm was sending a different signal to her brain that she was wrong. It would be nice to think a student had simply set an alarm and then left their phone behind by accident, but… Mia felt a twinge of annoyance. First days were important.

"What's your guess? Prank, or lost phone?"

@VampireOracle

”I think it’s an accident. A prank isn’t impossible, though.” Adam said.

Adam looked up from his book. Mia Zhong? He recognized her. Some cheerleader type. He’d heard rumors about her being a ghost. He didn’t believe in ghosts, though. Normally, he wouldn’t try to get her attention anyway, but he might as well help her out.
“Hi, I’m Adam. I’ll help you, if you don’t mind.” He then set his book down, glaring at any prospective thieves, and jogged after her. With his speed, he caught up fast.
“So, where first?”

Adam scanned the crowd, before returning to his book. He’d never really fit in at Nova, despite living in their care for four years. He found books more interesting than people, to be honest. Books didn’t care about how he was a Star. They didn’t talk back. And with a book, he could pretend to be a normal person. With people, real ones, he’d always be unusual. The Star mark on his back was to blame for that.
Without it, he’d just be another teenager, worried about dates and school. He wouldn’t be as strong without it, not nearly, but he didn’t care about his power. Throwing stuff really far, bending metal, running faster and farther than a normal person, what was that compared to family? Or even an unremarkable life? Adam knew plenty of people envied Stars. To him, though, it was nothing to envy. He’d trade it all for a single normal day.

Adam flipped through a large book, titled Atlas Shrugged, reading through the first chapter. Upon hearing Naomi laugh, he looked at her.
“What’s so funny?” he asked. Oh, the clocks, he thought. That probably has something to do with it.
“I’m Adam, by the way”he added.

Would a kid raised in a lab be allowed? Picked up at a young age, and later freed and delivered to Nova Infinitum?
