Hidden Lilly

Academy of Heroes and Villains

Makoto had gotten up to follow Flood and Phoebe to class when the sprinklers went off, thoughts of still needing gym clothes fled from her mind. She had quickly put distance between herself and Flood to try and find a place close by with little water, then he brought out his guns. The guy was practically dancing in the ‘rain’. Makoto wanted to get out of the area with water as soon as possible. She didn’t want her powers to activate on their own due to her lack of control and hurt someone. She felt like a human live wire, if she could still be considered human. She had heard some call people like her mutants, in the plane ride to The Academy and as people cried out in fear as the X-Men rescued her. “Phoebe? Phoebe?” Makoto called to her… friend. “I can’t be here.” The wild fear clear on her face. Without meaning to, her fear, her emotions were inadvertently activating her powers. The water at her feet, should anyone step into it, would feel like its softly tingling.

Woot! Alright, I have a chance to get a quick post up. Like I said before, February is going to be rough for me. If i disappear for a day or 2 blame school. Midterm time ^^"

Makoto looked at the intricacies of the mask Flood had made. She agreed with Phoebe. "Yeah, the inside looks so intricate, wouldn't it be uncomfortable? Could you depict multiple people's fear at once?" She wondered allowed. If many people were looking at the mask at once, then it would have to project many different fears, or a common fear.

Poison Ivy... Makoto realized that she was going to really work on catching up on some old time hero/villain news. With a name like that, It was no wonder Phoebe had controlling vines as her power. Phoebe's description of the situation, though brief, seemed rather heated. Makoto decided that she wouldn't touch the subject anymore. It sounded both personal and sensitive. Makoto turned to look at Flood as he spoke about the mask. She turned away by the time he brought it to his face. "That is both an amazing weapon and making me uncomfortable." She said to Flood. She didn't even want to know what her deepest fear was. There were lots of things she feared and in her current emotional state, she didn't think there was much she could handle. The events of yesterday ever gnawed on her. "Maybe save that for a real fight?" She suggested. Makoto wanted to offer her assistance to Phoebe and Ryan but with it being about their engagement and all... it seemed like something she should leave to them to sort out.

"I'll try..." Makoto said, referring to Flood. "Would she really try to kill you?" She asked as much to Phoebe as to Ryan about facing her mother. Who was she? Makoto's mind began to dance with how her parents would have reacted if she got engaged. It hurt to think so, her parents would mean well... but would they have been able to show it? Makoto leaned back to sit in a neutral position in the chair. She didn't want to think about what was right now. Again, her heart felt both like it was being crushed and like it wasn't in her chest at all.

“Just once, at lunch yesterday briefly.” Makoto answered. She hadn’t expected Ryan to really remember her from the small interaction they had. “My name is Makoto.” She decided that maybe she could give both names “...but please, call me Gale.” Makoto decided that she couldn’t totally leave her past behind her but maybe working through it was better. Maybe instead of completely shedding Makoto to be Gale, she could evolve into Gale from Makoto. “It’s amazing that you can run that far and so fast…” So many of the other student’s powers astounded her. She was never able to place what kind of person with what kind of power she would encounter next. When Flood proceeded to cut of his hand Makoto let out a shrill scream of horror and astonishment. She just looked at him mildly horrified and disturbed. She stayed in this state until she was clearly addressed. Makoto finally looked away from Flood to answer Phoebe. “Yes… I think you did. I would really enjoy that.” She said, quietly and slowly, still somewhat trying to get over the shock of what Flood had just done. She listened to the easy conversation between Ryan and Phoebe. Batglare seemed to give away that Phoebe’s father was Batman, but her power was vines? She was sure that eventually, someday, she may sort out how her classmates came across their powers. Many seemed to come by it honestly, but she had no clue about herself.

Connor is with Kijani, not Devika, but they're both played by Dizzy which is where the confusion arises :)

@Klyix

Yep. Kijani is 17 and kind of a bitch. Devika is 21 and rather shy due to her powers.

@Mistress Dizzy

lol ok :P thank you :)

Academy of Heroes and Villains

I wonder who the second boy is?

@Eviledd1984

Oh gosh, i hope i didn't get this wrong too ^^" I jumped in the story not long ago and only was able to read a few pages prior to when I posted and that's when Connor and Devika were close... I thought they were a thing? then there is Nicholas... haha if i got this wrong as well then I blame school :P

Makoto just stared at Flood. She didn't think he was a telepath but how did he know she had been thinking about the paint bombs. "Thanks..." she said hesitantly. Curiosity over taking her she asked what she thought may have potentially been an inappropriate or rude question. "Flood, what are your powers exactly?" Makoto was prepared to answer the question back to the best of her ability if he asked her in turn. Due to her focus on figuring Flood's powers out it took her a moment to catch what he had said to/about Ryan. Makoto guessed he was generally an energetic guy. Makoto still wanted to offer her help, even if it was only a little bit but she was so new... it didn't feel right in this setting to do so. Especially since she wanted to keep Phoebe as a friend, she didn't want to accidentally step on any toes.

That stayed? O.O *went, checked, deleted* Oopsie ^^" I honestly thought I had gotten rid of it before I posted :$ It's how I keep track of who was involved in a scene as i'm reading along. It makes referencing back to things easier :$ Sorry guys >.<
