Makoto picked up bits of what Phoebe was saying to Nicholas. She looked over seeing the note but not being able to read it. Maybe they had found a way that he could participate too. She allowed her lips to curl into a slight smile, hoping that was the case. Resting her cheek on the palm of her hand she leaned forward, watching Mimic more than her classmates. The more she watched maybe she would be able to implement some of what her classmates do. Makoto's skin buzzed while she watched Mimic, anticipating the conversation she wanted to have with him.

Thanks @Caits for trying :P
I'm stuck. I've been staring at @Caits post for a few days and nothing comes to mind :/ Any suggestions?
Phoebe smiled indulgently at Nicholas. As he was like this, it seemed like he was almost a child, and it was easy to treat him as such. As Makoto rejoined them, Pheoebe smiled kindly at her, "so, I was thinking, it's been a rough couple of days here, I'd like to just...well, have a night with friends. I don't know what we could do, or stuff, but it would be nice" she looked to Katherin too, with a smile
"That would be wonderful." Makoto smiled, the tips of her mouth barely curling. She was happy, it's just that there was so much washing through her at that moment, it was hard to display any one of the emotions. It would certainly be nice to spend time with friends after class again. On day 1 she spent the evening with Katherin and Flood. Now it looked like she could spend time with Katherin, Nicholas and Phoebe. It made her heart swell a bit, the thought of having true friends.
Mimic came in and Makoto felt her heart squeeze in her chest and flutter. She was going to have to get the courage to talk to the intimidating man after class, somehow. He had knowledge of her powers that she didn't know how to make sense of. She listened intently to him, like she did all the other staff. It pained her when Nicholas left, he seemed really sad. Despite his position, could he not wield his powers? Did one need to be standing to use plants? Maybe it was contact with the ground that he needed. She wasn't sure and felt helpless to act. Instead she turned to Phoebe.
"Hey, is there anyway that we can get Nicholas to participate in the class? Like give him some extra help to level the playing field a bit?" Makoto whispered leaning close to her friend. She tried to do so discretely so not to be caught.

Upon leaving the bathroom Makoto saw that Phoebe and Nicholas were gone but Katherin was still there.
"Hey, sorry about that. Shall we go into class?" Makoto suggested to Katherin. She had stopped by her friend but unconciously angled her body towards the classroom door, wanting to get into class. The two turned and entered the classroom, sitting by Phoebe and Nicholas.
"Hey." Makoto said, as she took her seat and rejoined her friends.

"Hey." Makoto said, as she took her seat and rejoined her friends.
Makoto was lucky that the bathrooms by this classroom were just 2 doors down, 3 if you include the men's washroom door. She pushed on the door and walked in. Silence, she was alone, no-one was there. She tried to keep her composure but her eyes began to sting, threatening to pour out her bottled up feelings.
"No, not right now." she said to herself, striding over to the farthest sink with a mirror in front of it. "Great..." She mumbled, looking over herself and her red eyes. Makoto turned the hot and cool water on, watching the water run over her fingers until she got a comfortably cool temperature. Taking one last glance at her reflection in the mirror, she leaned forward and rinsed her face. She tried her best to keep the water away from her bangs but she still managed to get the tips wet. She turned off the water and leaned over the sink, dripping with water. Makoto sighed and began to focus on her breathing, thinking her life through. She combed through positive thoughts and good memories.
After a few minutes she stood up, her face no longer dripping but still wet. She moved to the paper towel and took a few to wipe off her face. She had decided it was a good time to call Storm.
*Dial tone*
*Ringing, pause, Ring, Pause, Ring, Pau-*
"Hello?" a professional voice answered.
"Hi Storm, It's Makoto."
"Hi, how are you today?" her tone lightened, softened.
"I'm alright, how is your day going today?"
"It's been a bit rocky but good." she sighed, sounding tired.
"I'm glad... I got your surprise-"
"You did!? What did you think?" Storm piped up, like an excited mother.
"It is wonderful." Makoto giggled "Thank you, Storm." Her tone softening.
"You are more than welcome, you have moved between comfortable places in life so quickly, it was the least we could do to make you feel more comfortable there."
"I really appreciate it." Makoto said, smiling brightly. "Oh! I've made some friends already, I like it here."
"That's good." Storm said, her tone suggesting she wanted to hear more.
"Two girls and one boy, Phoebe, Katherin and Flood. You may actually know their parents. Phoebe's dad is Batman and her mom is Poison Ivy. Katherin's dad is Iceman, and Flood's dad is Deadpool."
"They have quite the lineage." Storm said, calculating. "Be mindful around Flood, if he is anything like his father, he will be a loose cannon. You may find that he is not the most loyal."
"He seems alright, a little crazy but fun." Makoto said, her disposition saddening. She didn't want storm to not like her friends.
"Some fun and adventure will be good for you, always so studious otherwise." Storm said, sensing Makoto's fall in mood. "Just be careful with him. Is everything else alright?"
"Yes." Makoto responded quickly. She couldn't say that she still missed her parents. She had spent a decent amount of time with the woman and she knew that she viewed her as kind of a daughter. How then could she express that she missed her real parents.
"How are classes?" Storm prodded.
"Good. Actually, i'm kind of skipping the beginning of one to make this call..." Makoto said, feeling the pressure to get back to class.
"Oh, well then you should probibly get to the classroom. What class is it?" She encouraged.
"Power Development." Makoto sighed.
"I see..." Storm paused, knowing it wasn't a strong area of Makoto's "Do your best and you will be fine."
"I will. Bye, have a good day."
"Bye-bye Makoto."

Makoto put her phone away and turned back to lave the bathroom and get to class. She was feeling quite a bit better now than when she entered the bathroom.

Makoto put her phone away and turned back to lave the bathroom and get to class. She was feeling quite a bit better now than when she entered the bathroom.
"You guys go on ahead into class." Makoto said. She felt green; a tiny bit jealous and sick to her stomach. This was mostly because all this talk about family hurt her do badly and so deeply. She felt terrible for feeling the way she did. "I just have to use the lady's room." maybe she would feel better if she put a bit of cold water on her face. Makoto felt like the water wouldn't cause a threat if it stayed mostly in the basin. Her parents had died years ago but it still felt so fresh. She thought about how someday she'd have to get over all of this, and hoped it would be soon.
Nicholas brought his hand out to shake Gales hand with a smile on his face,Once he shook her hand he put his hand down and started writing down on his notepad,He handed the piece of paper to her laughing softly."Hello my name is Nicholas and yes i am Phoebe's half brother i only found this out a few days ago and but it's a pleasure to meet you" It said on the note while Nicholas now had his hand now on top of his knees.
Makoto was glad to see that their relationship had improved. It made her happy to see Phoebe happy. For a brief moment Makoto wondered where Ryan was, the lucky fiancee, but she concluded that the two didn't need to be joined at the hip. It occurred to her that Nicholas had not been introduced to Katherin as of yet. They could know each other from before but she figured it was safe to ask.
"Have you met Katherin before?" She asked Nicholas, gesturing to Katherin.
Oh! Phoebe had mentioned her half-brother yesterday. At that time the siblings seemed to have been in ill favor with each other but today, that had changed dramatically. Maybe the talking suggestion worked. Makoto was unsure how to approach the situation, weather to lean over or crouch down. She didn't want to be demeaning to Nicholas. In the end she decided the most respectful response would be to crouch down so that her eyes were level with his. Makoto extended her hand in an offering;
"Hey Nicholas, I'm Gale." she reiterated. She still felt like the new name was better. Makoto was not a totslly different person but so much about her life was different now, it my be of more use to take on a new name now. She thought that her name change was similar to that of a catapillar becoming a butterfly, or a seed becoming a tree, or even a gusty wind becoming a hurricane. They all begin as one thing, the entity doesn't change much but rather transforms into something different and is thus called by a new name.
