Danny Green, Casper Silver, Miranda Burke
Miranda found a spot to where she was going to sit down and chill having something eat, She saw a few more come in, A boy and a girl, she had seen them around but never really directly engaged with them and the same went for the two lads sitting at the table already to which one had already spoke up and said hi to her. She thought for a moment while looking at the young kid, his bangs covering his eyes a bit, again another person she never really conversed with. ' What the hell, you only once right?' She thought to herself then smiled as she walked over and placed her breakfast on the table. "Hey," She replied before sitting down opposite them and listened to the young boys question.
'Wouldn't you like to know?' she mused in her mind. " Aye, I wasn't really sleeping, well okay, maybe overslept a little, But not for long because ended up taking a nice hot shower instead" She replied with a sly smile before she took a sip of orange juice from the class before she would start eating her breakfast. "Name's Miranda." She nodded to the pair taking a bite of her Ryvita. " Flower power..?" She raised her eyebrow, There were namy names this guy could get called but that? was kinda amusing, she knew the guy, not in person but by his reputation of being a eco warrior, But really was just overly passionate about saving the planet.
"Keep doin' that...and Pierce will fuck you up..." Casper returned, his grin persisting as he placed his lips around the soda bottle agian and took another sip. This girl was rather funny, she was a nice variation from the rest, but Casper just had to wait and see. He wasn't going to get his expectations up too far. "Yeah...Flower Power...He's a plant..." That sounded wrong, didn't it? Well, yeah. Chuckling slightly for himself, the boy did a good job at showing his immature age if only for just a moment before he straightened himself up and took another bite from his sandwich. He barely even knew Danny and he was already picking jokes at the guy. Oh well, Casper wasn't exactly a people person. Perhaps it wasn't always the bully's fault that he got beat up half the time.
Miranda smiled even more, "He is certainly welcome to try.." She was confident in herself even if Pierce would actually bust her up some with his larger size and strength, but that wouldn't stop her from having a go. She took a few more bite's out of her first ryvita. avoiding choking on her food a from a chuckle she just had to ask. " So a plant called flower power... Would you like to confrim or deny this.." She teased.
It hadn't even been a few minutes before someone had came over and joined Danny next to him at the table. He looked over and noticed that small emo looking boy just sitting there staring at his beverage as if it was about to come alive. The red headed boy couldn't help but chuckle at himself before the boy named Casper decided to speak up and say hi. That was quite a surprise since he wasn't known for speaking that much just like that Nathan boy. Not that he could judge since he was like that at one point.
"Um hi," Danny said trying to contain his laughter. "I'm sorry if I seem quite giddy. Its just funny how you came and sat next to me pretty much not saying a word." Danny was about to make a second comment when he had seen a girl coming to join the two of them. This was all new to him as no one ever seemed to want to hang with him or even sit next to him of fear that he may go into some kind of rant about the planet. He did make note to stop doing that all the time.
It didn't take long for the girl Miranda to start having a conversation with them with even Casper joining in. He had overheard the girl being scolded by a professor already for being late, although he didn't really pay that much attention since he was too busy catching up on the news. He decided to take the remote and turn the television off. Before he could say anything all he could hear was that name 'Flower Power' that really dug into his skin but of course he never liked to show it.
"You'll have to excuse small pint here. I don't exactly know him that well, but my name is Danny. Not 'Flower Power'" he had said through his teeth. He smiled and took another bite of his wrap. "But it was good that you didn't join us this morning. It was kind of a hot mess to say the least."
Finishing his sandwich, Casper leaned back in his chair and breathed out, the boy's attention turned to Danny for a moment. "Bein' small has its advantages..." He spoke casually, that small grin on his lips lingering. One could clearly see the confidance in his spirit through his body language and the way he spoke. Most people thought he was quiet because he was scared or because he was shy, but the truth of the matter was something else entierly. Casper decided to be quiet because he didn't feel like talking much was worth it, or rather, there weren't many words people needed to hear. However, when Casper was in a more or less talketive mood, he wasn't going to be completely quiet as if on principle. Sure, he was a boy of few words and uttered a select few when he decided to speak, but he wasn't afraid to utter his mind by any stretch of the imagination. "He means we got fucked..." Casper shot back at Miranda, concerning what Danny had said. "Robots...ya' know...?"
Miranda was actually feeling amused, the two seemed to have nicknamed each other already and she had not even been with them for like five minutes, sure she didn't know how well they knew each other until Danny, that was his actual name had said so. It also turned out that they are both from the group she was suppose to be with this morning. 'Great I get told of by the professor in front of two people that are from the very same group she was talking about, way to go Miri.' She thought.
It seemed as though the group session this morning didn't go to well either judging from there comments, of course she had no idea what it was they were actually doing so was a little surprised and raised a brow once more when robots was mentioned. " So... what is it they had you guys do exactly? I mean robots, your pulling my leg right, I mean robots in the fricking training center, your shitting me?"
"Shittin' you...?" Casper raised his eyebrow, looking her over. He was starting to really like this girl. Damn, she was cool. "Heh...yeah..." The boy nodded. "We actually..." He took another sip of his soda, noticing how it was nearing empty and stood up, reaching for another in the fridge. Casper had an unholy addiction to soda. "..." Seeing how he could choose between four different tastes in the fridge, the boy stood dumbfounded, looking between the bottles like an addict unable to make a decision. If only there was one that tasted like all of them at once. Grabbing a random one, he turned back to Miranda and closed the fridge before leaning against it and finished his old bottle. "...we expressed our love...it was sweet...we shared our feelings..."
Miranda crossed her arms and leaned back in her seat, stopping from drinking and eating for a moment, she chuckled a little. "Somehow, I find that harder to beleive than robots in the training center." She paused. " So what they really did is put a bunch of you in sort big arse room and fight robots, And for what, to get Arse whooped?" Her Irish accent was probably more notcable with certain words, not that she really cared if people liked it or not, but it certainly was not what she was expecting from a group session.
The conversation was actually going surprisingly well considering none of them actually knew each other. Maybe there was hope after all they the group could actually get along. The entire time Danny had just been nodding and smiling as Casper and Miranda were speaking. Finally he spoke up again about the Danger Room session they had to endure.
"Well. I'd like to think they did it so they can whoop our asses. But according to them it was just a test to see how well we'd do. Even the teachers were in there with us. Amazing actors they were to believe they actually got injured." Danny had finished his wrap and down the rest of his water as if he hadn't drank anything all day. His body was like a plant so it needed every last drop to function. "But in the end, we got creamed. Badly. Like we probably would have died had it been a real Sentinnel. That would have been anticlimatic." He shrugged and got up from his seat to throw away his trash in their respectable recycling bins.
Honestly, the Danger Room seemed like a really fun place if used right. Casper imagined all matter of different scenarios playing out in there. They could train against simulations of other mutants or whatever the world was going to throw at them, they could train to prepare for any kind of danger. Hopefully the next times were going to be better, though. They needed to be prepared. What happened that morning was nothing a kid like any of them could stand up against, especially not unprepared. Speaking of which, they didn't even know that those huge robot things existed to begin with. Nothing was on their side in that fight, it was completely one sided. "Nice moves, though...Flower..." Casper complimented...as much of a compliment as one could expect to get from him.
"Ah so they wanted to see how well you would of coped without them around and function as a team to survive and gauge our abiltiy to use our powers" Miranda thought for a moment after taking everything in that was being said. "Still that is taking the biscuit, I mean sticking a group of students into a room to what? To combat some bloody robot sentinal thing as some test, Next thing you know they'll stick everyone in spandex and be like 'Off you go'." Miranda finished of as she decided to actually eat her breakfast some more than gas bagging.' If anyone expects to see me in spandex, I want dinner first.' Miri mused to herself.
There he goes again with that 'Flower' nickname again. There was no use in fighting it as it was probably going to stick the duration of the time they stayed in the institute.
"Thanks, small pint," Danny said winking at the smaller boy. "But yeah that was pretty much what happened. And speaking of spandex, that boy named Alex was wondering if we were going to get codenames and a costume. After he mentioned that, I left. It all seemed a bit silly but at some point we are going to get our names and attire. I've been thinking about my codename for awhile and no it isn't Flower Power," the red headed boy said, glaring at Casper next to him. "But anyway, I'm off to save the planet. And by that I mean tend to my plants outside. Good day to you both," he said warmly as he walked out of the kitchen and outside to the garden.
