Alice was not the sort to fully trust father. Ever since they’d grown a bit apart. This when he'd told both her mother, and Alice the truth about who, and what he really was. It’d been when she’d used her powers for the first time. It was on a fellow classmate. They’d ended up with several broken bones. As they’d gotten a nasty case of vertigo when they were when they were going up a long flight of metal, and stone stairs.
It wasn’t that her father had omitted the fact he was a god. But, it was the fact that it’d taken Alice hurting someone badly to force the truth out of him. Alice’s father tried teaching her how to use her powers, but due to the mistrust she held towards him. They couldn’t get very far in that, but they had managed to regrow their familial bond.
When that message came about being trained it was a, pardon the pun, a god send. One Alice's father was very adamant she follow up on. As he knew one day that Alice's powers could get away from her again, if she didn't train them. It was also fortunate that Alice, and her father lived just outside the state of the schools location. Alice’s father drove her there himself, but parked a few blocks away at Alice’s request.
“You know I can get closer if you want. You don’t have to walk all this way,” her father said concerned.
“Don’t worry about it Dad. I’m a big girl, I can take care of myself.” Her Dad let out a soft whining noise of concern from deep in his throat. “Alright, but, at least allow me to pull your luggage out of the car.” Alice sighed playing with a strand of her wine colored hair.
“Alright, fine Dad... Just make sure you take care of Mom. Mother hen her for a while instead of me.” Alice’s father let out a chuckle. “Yeah right, if I tried that I’d be hanging by my ankles for a week. She may have forgiven me already, but she’s still mad. Plus she’s busy with the making that deal for our company to sponsor that Half time show. For that sports thing I don’t watch.” Alice let out a laugh as she exited the car.
“For a god of alcohol, you sure do hate watching sports. The prime imported of all things alcohol. What is up with that?” Her Dad got out of the car, and just shrugged half heartedly. “Dunno, guess I’m just not competitive enough to like watching it.”
Alice’s Dad pulled out her large wheeled suitcase, and then her smaller carry on suitcase. “Okay, that’s it... So, you remember everything? Toothbrush and toothpaste, comb, hair products?”
“Check, Check, and triple check Dad.” Her father stood their a little awkwardly it was clear he wanted a goodbye hug. But, he didn’t know how to go about getting one. Thankfully Alice took pity on him.
“c’mere you big oaf.” Alice gave her father a big hug. Which was adorable because Alice’s father was a bear of a man. With a big gut, and a biker beard with a bald head. “I love you, and I know I sound like a broken record. But, m’sorry for lyin to you through omission.” Alice just sighed softly, and parted from her dad.
“bye Dad, I’ll make sure to send emails when I can. Or snail mail if for some go..... reason...” Her Dad laughed boisterously as she was about to make an unintentional pun. Alice turned bright pink in the cheeks,
and pouted.
“I’m leaving now.” Alice turned, and then promptly walked away.
Slade walked towards Mr.Knight’s office looking a little lost on what it was he was exactly supposed to be doing. This was his first year taking part in this whole boot camp thing. Mostly because he hadn’t been in a very good place to be teaching anyone anything for a while. When he saw Lily, and Wolf walk out both looking equally pissed he took pause.
Then he walked into Mr. Knight’s office, he knocked on the door first.
“Hey, did I catch you at a bad time? I’m sorry if I did. It’s just I don’t exactly get this whole curriculum thing... Last time I had any sort of teacher they’d throw stuff at my head, and shout “dodge”... So you know... Not sure if you want me doing that to the students.” Slade stepped inside of the office, and took a seat as he talked.
