Kayla:

I’ll meet you in one of the private study rooms in the library. Room C.


Kayla entered the library after reading Minako’s text message, briefly stumbling into Amy and greeting the young woman. She seemed only slightly more off than how she normally was, but perhaps Kayla was being a bit too judgmental, for now, she had to see Minako, after all the two of them were about to share news with one another. Come to think of it, perhaps it was something she should have mentioned to Amy and yet...she really wanted to tell Minako first. Finding the rather simple looking study she knocked on the door before entering greeting her good friend.

“Hey Minako! I can’t believe what I’m about to…” She paused a moment and flushed deciding, ”Actually you were the one who wanted to tell me something first, I’ll tell you my news afterwards.” She said, nervously shifting her weight from foot to foot, ”What was it you wanted to tell me anyway?”

Minako looked up when Kayla entered, and smiled happily as she rose to give her a hug. ”Wow, this is a change from the meeting.” She guided her to the table, her hand lingering on Kayla’s wrist. ”It… can wait. I want to know what put this big smile on your face. Are you sure you’re the same girl I saw?” It was half-true; she was genuinely curious. In the week and a half that she had known her, Minako had gotten the impression that her friend wasn’t often this visibly happy. She was very pretty when she smiled, and Minako didn’t want to spoil it so soon by revealing what her father had done.

Kayla should have registered the pause in Minako’s tone and yet she was far too excited to. Pulling the envelope from her backpack she handed it to Minako. Try as she might she couldn’t contain the growing grin on her face, even as she tried to bite her lip to stop it. ”I was invited to become a Warden, and I accepted.”

Frowning, but unable to suppress her smile in the face of such enthusiasm, Minako opened the envelope and unfolded the contents. ”Um, congratulations? I’m sorry, I’m just not sure of the significance of this. Who are the Wardens?”

”I-I’m sorry, I forgot,” Kayla blushed with embarrassment, ”You’ve only just transferred here so..um, The Wardens are like the peacekeepers of the school. If there’s an issue between students on campus or some kind of trouble arises, they’re usually the ones who help put a stop to it.” Perhaps that was a bit of an overstatement, but she always had an admiration for the group, even if most people believed them to be students with a power complex. She’d never once witnessed the group go beyond their authority or use it for personal gain, in other words, she felt like they were true heroes.

An uncomfortable silence stretched over the room, and the more Minako read and listened, the more ashen her face became. Oh, no. If her understanding of the situation was correct, then the Warden’s were essentially a group responsible for keeping order at the school, enforcing its rules and reporting what they found to the Headmasters. A group that likely would not be happy to know that her father had done an investigation of questionable legality into several students, the results of which Minako now possessed. A group whom her best friend was now a part of.

”Minako? What’s wrong?” A confused look spread across Kayla’s face, why all of a sudden was her friend so...pale? Did she do something wrong? Had something happened? The confusion only continued to spread until it dawned on her that...maybe Minako was in trouble? And Kayla was suddenly an enforcer of that trouble.. ”Minako...what did you do?”

Still, Minako remained silent, and she gently laid down the invitation on the table, her head bowed. This made things much, much more complicated. Father, why have you put me in this position? If she told her friend about what had happened, then she would undoubtedly be compelled to inform the Headmasters. Even now, she suspected that something was wrong. On the other hand, if Minako didn’t answer, then she would never be able to look her friend in the eye. Figuratively, of course, she couldn’t do that anyways, but in essence, that would be the result. It would linger in the back of her mind, tainting her every word with deception. Worse, if Kayla ever found out about it through some other means, as unlikely as that was, then it would destroy any trust that she would have in her.

Her gaze raised to the ceiling. What am I supposed to do, Otoosan? Even as she raised the question in her mind, she knew the answer. Her decision had been made already, to back out of it would be far worse than what the Headmasters would do. ”Gomen’nasai, Kayla. I… hope you can forgive me.” Without another word, she opened the document, and swivelled her laptop.

Kayla read the documentation that was before her and as she did so her face paled. It was...about her...not just little snippets, but everything from who she was, to where she lived, to what she wanted to do. It wasn’t just about her either, it was about her family, her brother, mother...father. As soon as she saw his name she slammed the laptop shut, her hand trembling. Every intimate secret was laid bare before her friend, oh god...what if dad found out? Kayla knew her father worked for the government, knew that his line of work in particular was extremely secretive, Kayla didn’t know what went on, what was going on with his life, but now Minako did? If her dad ever did find out about this. ”How...how did you get this?”

”My father sent it to me last night.” Minako’s voice was dull and flat, almost dead of emotion. She slowly raised her head, eyes glistening slightly, and laid out everything: how she came to get her powers, the agreement that she had with her father, all of it. “I… I swear, Kayla, I didn’t know. If I had, I would’ve…” Her breath caught in her throat. She would have what, told him not to? As if he would have listened. No, this would have happened regardless of what Minako had said if she had known before hand. Her father had made that perfectly clear. ”I had to tell you. This… I couldn’t keep this from you. You’re… you are one of the first friends I’ve ever made. And… if that has changed now, if you do what you need to do, I will understand.” Taking a shaky breath, she bowed her head again.

H...her father? How, how could… Suddenly her trembling hand was not that of fear, but of anger and she slammed her fist onto the table. ”Damn it, how could he do this to you? Your own father?!” Kayla wasn’t mad at Minako, far from it, though that could be interpreted in anyway by her friend. Not only had her father brought Kayla’s family into this, but even she knew that Minako had met others throughout her short time here. There had to be other families, she was at least sure that Amy’s was one of them, but who else could be on that list?

Minako flinched when Kayla struck the table, but otherwise was unmoved. Her friend was right to be angry. ”He wanted me to make sure I was making informed decisions about who I was associating with. Information is… very valuable in my family.” she answered. ”I doubt that he will investigate farther than what is in there right now unless I asked, which I will not. Though I realize that doesn’t make this any better.” Sighing heavily, she gestured to her laptop. ”You deserve to know all of it.”

A sudden realization dawned on Kayla; she had a duty to fulfill. As a Warden, it was Kayla’s job to bring such information to the headmasters attention, specifically Leon’s first. But could she do that? Even to her own friend? Like Minako said, her father was the one who sent this information in the first place..Kayla was determined to help her. Grabbing her friend by the shoulders she said, ”Minako, you have to delete those files.”

Blinking, Minako looked up. ”What?”

”What this is,” she started, pointing at the laptop, ”Is a huge breach of personal privacy. I know you’re not the one who intended for this to happen, but it happened and now you have it, your stupid, stupid dad, just landed you in a lot of trouble….but I don’t want to get you in trouble…” Kayla looked down, her hands gripping tighter onto Minako, ”So I’m asking you...begging you...delete every single one of those files or else….” She couldn’t even finish the words.

The Japanese freshman began looking increasingly agitated. ”I understand that, Kayla, I do. That’s why I am telling you this, but… do you mean, right now?” She clutched at her skirt. This was not how she was expecting these meetings to go at all, but surely Kayla wasn’t expecting her to hide this from the others?

Kayla looked back up almost bewildered at the question, ”Yes! Right now!” she exasperated. What was Minako even thinking asking that? Was she begging to be in more trouble than she already was? Was she going to tell everyone that she had this information? The sooner Minako got rid of it, the better it would turn out in the long run. ”Minako, you can’t tell anyone else about this, you have to get rid of it!”

”Kayla,” Minako’s eyes flicked between her friend and her laptop, looking aghast, ”I swear to you that I will delete it, but, I have to tell Eliana and Gianna. I can’t keep this from them, anymore than I could have kept this from you or Amy. You don’t know how much it means to me that you are giving me this chance, but I can’t keep this from them! I can’t lie to them and still consider myself an honourable friend.” She stood up, wrapping her arms tightly around herself as she stepped away from the table. How could she explain how important this was to her?

Kayla’s face paled even further; Minako had information on Eliana Lovelace? While the two of them weren’t exactly friends, Kayla knew that both their fathers have worked together, he even helped develop the Millennium hotels that Lucas Lovelace owned. For Minako to have information like that, Eliana’s father was even more powerful than her father and was just begging for even greater consequences. ”You can still call yourself an honorable friend Minako, you’re not the one at fault here, but who knows if they’ll see that, especially Eliana!” Kayla had to make a decision, one that could ultimately affect their entire friendship, but hopefully, keep Minako safe. Kayla’s hands clenched, ”Minako...I’m giving you one last chance to delete all that information, in front of me, right now. Or else,” Kayla began reaching for the computer on the table, ”I’ll do it myself…” Her voice was hollow and devoid of emotion, this was one of the hardest ultimatums Kayla had to follow on, but it was all for Minako’s safety, whether either of them liked it or not.

Especially Eliana? What is that supposed to mean? In truth, after reading the first couple files, Minako had stopped, having been too angry to continue. What was in the Lovelace file that made her being kept in the dark particularly important?

At her friend’s words, she turned back to the table, and fast a viper, Minako’s hand shot out and clamped onto Kayla’s wrist. ”Kayla, wait!” Instantly she released her, as though her friend’s skin had become burning hot. ”I-I’m sorry! Just, please, wait.” Hesitantly, brow furrowed in concern and confusion, Minako sat down. ”Why especially Eliana? I’m not trying to be difficult, please, just help me to understand.

Kayla paused in silence, ”...Even I don’t fully understand,” she started, ”It’s not like I know Eliana personally, but my dad and her’s have been business partners for years, and what I do know is that the Lovelace family is extremely powerful. If they know your father has been snooping on them, on their family...god I don’t even want to think of what my own father would do let alone hers…” She bit her lip, head still down, ”I can’t let you show her this...not just for your safety, but for your whole family...even your stupid dad…”

A yawning pit opened in Minako’s stomach. Mei. The worst part of all this was that it sounded exactly like her father, no, her family. Always trying to get an advantage, playing with fire for the sake of power. She knew that her father made calculated gambles, always weighing the risks versus the potential rewards, and choosing a course of action based on the information available. And every time, the risks he chose to make paid off. Knowing when to take that chance was the reason her grandfather had chosen him as a successor instead of one of her uncles. But this time… had he made a mistake?

”...I understand.” Her voice carrying a heavy, defeated tone, Minako bowed her head. No matter what, she couldn’t take the chance of something happening to her sister, regardless of what had happened to between them. ”I will delete the files on Eliana, right now, and I won’t tell her that I had them. Now that I have told you and Amy, I will delete those as well. But… Kayla, please understand where I am coming from.” Raising her head, she reached across the table gently took her friends hands in her own, drawing them into her lap. ”My Otoosan, my grandfather, taught me that honour is everything. That every person must have a code by which they live by. That code gives them meaning, and purpose. A person who lives without a code cannot truly live, and a person who breaks their code, cannot truly be trusted. It was you living by your code that led you to the Wardens, and it was mine that led me to telling you and Amy about this.”

Closing her eyes, she kept her head aimed as though she was looking directly at her friend. ”That is why it is so important that I at least tell Gianna. I will do my best to make her promise not to tell anyone about this, how important it is that she not. After that, I swear, I will come find you, and you can watch me delete the last of the files. I will even talk to my father again, and try to make sure things like this don’t happen. I can’t… promise it won’t. My father… is not the kind of man who does what others want. But I will try.” Her voice trembled as she thought about how that conversation was going to go. ”I am… I am trying my best here, Kayla. Please, I really am. And I know that this is difficult, for both of us. I know that it couldn’t have been easy for you to give me this chance. But if I cannot act with honour… who am I? How can you or anyone else ever trust me?” The tremble in her voice grew stronger. ”If...if you even still can.”

Kayla listened with intent to Minako’s counter-argument, and while she wasn’t giving her the best solution, it was better than if someone like Eliana found out about the documentation on her. Kayla sighed, ”Minako, I never doubted my trust in you, but you have to ask yourself this, is honor truly worth the risk of others suffering?” She let that question hang in the air for a moment before continuing, ”My dad once told me, that sometimes a hero has to sacrifice everything precious to them, for others to survive. That’s why there a lot of heroes with secret identities, that’s why some completely cut themselves off from contact with anyone, that’s why some heroes have suffered a loss that has completely shattered their spirit. Honor is a valuable thing to have, it does build trust...but sometimes, we have to make a decision that might not be the best for ourselves, but the best for those around us and the planet that we protect.”

Kayla’s hand gripped tightly into Minako’s, before releasing and she stood up, ”I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt for now Minako...I trust you’ll delete the files and won’t tell Eliana, but as for Gianna...while I don’t know much about her, you need to make a decision that might not be what you want it to be. She might be my friend...but from what I saw on that roof that night, she can be a powerful enemy and while I might have broken down at her attacking Samantha, if she did anything to you or your family...I don’t know what I would do…” She felt exhausted again and it was clearly showing on her face having to battle her friend for the deletion of those files. She needed to sleep before she met up with Leon later that night, ”I’m sorry...I didn’t sleep very well last night and I think it’s catching up with me, maybe we can talk later about the tournament? I think that’s the last thing I need on my mind right now..”

In a flash, Minako stood up and hugged Kayla tightly. ”Thank you, Kayla. I will make this up to you, I promise.” She rested her head on Kayla’s shoulder, her expression sad. ”I do understand what you are saying. I wish it were otherwise, but, as you say, we don’t always get what we want.” She sighed heavily. ”I… know that better than many.”

Tears at last began to make their way down her cheeks, and she clutched tighter. ”Some times.... I really hate my family.”

Kayla’s heart began to break piece by piece and she hugged her friend more tightly, ”It’s ok, really, you’ll be fine just...be smart about this okay? I don’t want anything happening to you, really…” She brushed Minako’s hair, cooing her to calm down.

”My entire life, I have never had a say. Everything was planned out before I was even born, and sometimes it seems like everyone wants me to fail.” Minako’s voice cracked slightly. ”I had hoped that this would be a chance to finally…” she trailed off, then pulled back, wiping her eyes clear. ”I’m sorry, you said you were tired, I shouldn’t burden you even more than I already have.”

While Kayla was concerned for her friend, and wanted to hear the whole story, a large yawn escaped her lips. ”S-sorry, why don’t we talk about this later Minako,” she tried to give an encouraging smile, ”I do want to hear what you have to say, I’m just...not in the right mindset, maybe we can talk later? After my meeting with Leon….he’s the Chief Warden.”

Minako nodded, trying and half-succeeding at a smile. ”Of course. And I really am happy to hear that you have this opportunity. You deserve it. I just wish that I didn’t have to sour things like this.” She glanced at her phone. ”I’m sure that Eliana or Gianna will be here soon, I’ll think of something. Don’t worry about me.”

”Thanks Minako, really,” she too smiled half-heartedly, ”We’ll talk later, I promise.” Giving her friend one last hug, Kayla made her way to the door and exited, heading straight for her dorm room. She didn’t want to give much more thought to what had just transpired, and truly she wondered if she had made the right decisions. Was she really cut out to be a Warden? Could she live up to Leon’s expectations? Unaware of even reaching her own room, having zoned out on auto-pilot, Kayla flopped onto her bed, immediately falling asleep.

The moment that Kayla left, Minako dropped down into her chair and let her head thunk onto the table. Of course this would make everything more complicated. She hadn’t told Kayla about what Amy was planning to do for the tournament, and it was looking like she shouldn’t do that either. This entire mess was bad enough, she didn’t want to put Kayla into another difficult position with her new job. Sighing heavily, she looked down at her phone.

To: Amy

Don’t tell Kayla about trying to get into the database. She just told me she’s part of the Wardens now, and I’ve made it difficult enough for her already.

Eliana had caught sight of Elijah walking with her mother while she left the polling station. Hopefully the reason behind that was because he was blind and couldn’t write down his choices rather than anything… else. Her anxiety was creeping within her as they left the arena. Feeling her phone vibrate, she checked her messages. One from Minako and one from her baby sister. Minako wanted to spend quality time training. That sounded rather exhausting. Granted, Ellie’s emotions were all over the place as of recently. The heroic answer would be: yes, let’s team up and kick Delphina butt, but the socially awkward girl and ‘Troll Doll’ as Sylvia put it just wanted to practice alone, away from the masses. Sylvia’s jab wasn’t too far from the truth, Ellie didn’t find herself to be an attractive woman but beauty really didn’t mean a thing to her. She just wanted to be alone. Then again, this could be a good opportunity to study her possible opponents and mislead them in what she was capable of doing. Was it wrong that Eliana didn’t trust Minako? No. They’ve only known each other for a week. This was a competition. Whatever they found out about her, they would use that knowledge against her. You can’t trust anyone in a tournament as grand as Mayweather Sixteen.

To: Jenna
Only if mother gave you permission… and not too late okay? Where is the party?

From: Jenna
Duh, ma said ya! She even said I sleepova, u can ask if u no believe me. ANYWAYS. We goin’ shopping <3, I’ll see u sooooooon


Jenna didn’t answer her question of where her friend lived… such a scattered brain girl. Ellie supposed she could ask in person, but why did they need to go shopping? Oh yeah, a birthday gift.

To: Minako Ikeda
In terms of training, just tell me when and I’ll be there. In terms of telling me something, I have a shopping date, so… you have less than an hour to catch me. I’m heading to the library once I’m done talking to my mom.


Ellie didn’t know if her text came off standoffish or not, but it wasn’t like she was denying Minako’s offer. Her head shot up when she heard Sylvia crying and Kayla storming out, “What the hell happened?” she muttered. The spoiled princess ran to the nearest trashcan and puked her guts out. Jenna had told her that Vargas couldn’t stand the smell of blood. Rather than check to see if she was okay, Eliana decided to walk away, grab her duffel bag off the floor, and exit the arena, to wait outside her mother’s office. Thank god Lucas didn’t come and terrorize her. When she got the chance, she would need to ask her sister about her blog post, but also find out what was written on the Delphina Times… which she didn’t have access to. Maybe she can ask Mitch?

Leaning against the wall, she looked down at her phone. Ellie had last seen him on Thursday during lunch on the roof. That was an intimate luncheon that she did not expect. Mitch had told her he was dating Milo. Woah. That was a lot of information to digest but she was glad that both Milo and Mitch found happiness with each other and maybe, Mitch could protect Milo from Lucas’ bullying.

To: Mitch Danford
Hey Mitch! So-- I heard there was a DT post about me, mind telling?

From: Mitch Danford
Some scumbag took a pic of Lucas talking to your mom and Jenna. I think that was before he was sent to the infirmary?

To: Mitch Danford
And people think we’re dating? Do people not realize I HATE HIM. Oh sorry, I know he’s your friend...

From: Mitch Danford
No worries. He can be an ass, but so can I. Have you heard anything from Milo?

To: Mitch Danford
Yeah, he said he was going to get in around 4, so soon. He hasn’t texted you?

From: Mitch Danford
He’s had a lot on his mind… thanks El. TTYL.


Putting her phone away, her head looked up when she heard Elijah’s voice. His meeting with her mother was over, “I’m alright.”

”You’re lying,” he retorted, unafraid of being up front with her, ”You haven’t been sleeping? Have you? Your aura gives it away.” Again unafraid of giving the facts, her body was a swirling vortex of emotions even though she may have been giving him a very calm facade. ”Really though,” he asked, a little concern glazing his voice, ”What’s wrong?”

God, kill her now. Why was everyone so concerned about her well being? She would be fine, if only they left her alone! “Getting no sleep isn’t something odd for me, Elijah.” Her tone was apathetic, as her restless chartreuse green orbs deeply stared him down, “Did my mother ask you to check on me?” That had to be the reason. Regardless if he could read her aura or not, he had better things to do than check up on a girl he went on one date with.

”No,” he lied, though his tone didn’t give it away, it never showed emotion unless he allowed it to, or unless someone pushed him too far. ”I’m checking of my own volition, I haven’t seen you in over a week and I’ve left it be, but now that I see you here, far different from when we first met and no, I don’t mean our date. Well, it's a startling difference.” That last part was at least true, she may have been apathetic until they started speaking, but the amount of stress and anxiety, the lack of confidence within her, that was new. ”So I’ll ask again, what happened?”

Frustrated with his response, she sighed, “Why do you expect I’ll answer?” This was one thing she didn’t understand about people, they expected far too much than they deserved. Yes. She may like Elijah as a person but that didn’t mean she had to tell him her issues like Lucas having her diary or the strange incident before the meeting that the blonde Asian saved her from. She was tired of expressing herself. All she received in return was pain. People didn’t care about her. They only cared about themselves.

He paused, ”I suppose I don’t. Far be it from me to force someone to say something they’re not willing to say,” He sidestepped her and began walking past her towards the entrance. He only wanted to bring harmony to others, but unless they were willing to share the discord, there was really only so much he could do. No need to waste his time on someone so unwilling, that of course didn’t mean he wouldn’t be too far off, it just meant it wouldn’t be his primary focus.

Watching him walk away, she closed her eyes and banged her head on the wall (ouch). She took the next moment to drop to the floor, rest her duffel bag beside her, and wait for her mother to finish whatever she was doing. Eliana couldn’t help the way she was, especially after her morning. Sylvia’s words coursed through her mind, her mother’s glances, Elijah’s disappointment… she was a terrible person, why did people even bother? The sounds of her surrounding disappeared, as she meditated internally. Today was not the best day for her, even after Amelia’s kindness from last night… somehow that got kicked out the door.

He traveled through the arena and as he approached the doors yet another person made a boisterous entrance, yelling out, asking who was in charge. What was it with these people today, he sighed before approaching her, ”Most likely you’re looking for Professor Lovelace then?” he jerked his head, gesturing her to follow him. Her aura was curious, it seemed controlled, yet sadistic, another villain? He hadn’t seen her before. Across the arena once more, down the hall to the professor’s office, he raised his hand, ”Through there.” Once she disappeared through the door he looked down once again at the young Lovelace and sighed. He seated himself down by her side, crossing his legs and placing his hands together.

”Listen for a moment, you know just as well as I do that I never interact with anyone. The fact that I’m sitting with you here now, some Delphinas would consider it taboo, and more personally it is not often that I find one of an equal soul. I ask what I do, because the last thing I want to see is someone else turn into someone like Gianna Daniels. There is a spirit about you that I do not want to see die, I’m not good at these things, but I try for the good of everyone and for themselves.”

Gradually opening her eyes to his voice once more, Eliana looked toward the training equipment that surrounded them, “That’s very nice of you to say.” Her voice was low, as she took in his words. Equal souls, huh? He did have a point with the whole sitting next to her. Nowadays, students would spread something like this on the web like wildfire but she was curious with his mention of Gianna and the fact that he saw ‘spirit’ in her, “You shouldn’t worry so much about others, it’ll tire you out.” Turning her head to look at him, Ellie softly asked, “You don’t think Gianna has spirit?”

Elijah shook his his head, ”No, her spirit is still there, but it’s trapped, I’ve been trying to bring it back ever since…” he sighed, ”Perhaps worrying about others is tiring work, but it's what I feel compelled to do. I’m no hero Eliana, but I wish to maintain balance, bring back others from the brink and if I must, restore order in whatever way possible,” he stared at his hand, ”but I only wish to use that as a last resort.” He turned his head to her, ”With you, same as her, I feel I must try, even if I may not get all the answers, even if I’m hated for it, feared for it...”

“Sounds like Gianna and I have something in common. We’re complicated.” Ellie gave him a gentle smile, before adding, “You sound like a true, genuine guy.” Turning her head to look straight ahead again, she shrugged to herself, “I’m sure with how passionate you are, you’ll get something out of Gianna. You’ve known her for awhile.” Bringing her finger to a strand of her hair, she played with it absentmindedly, “I need more time... ” She paused and debated if she should say her next words. Taking a deep breath, she confessed, “I like you, Elijah. But… I’m not ready to tell you… my problems.”

”Very well,” He nodded, ”But a suggestion, I would like to help calm your spirit, even though you may not show it, you are a well and vortex of emotions. I have items of...arcane properties that can help deepen a meditative trance, if you are willing, I would like to show you. It may help ease your mind”

“...Sure.” Since Lucas had her pills, she could use something to at least bring her awake state to a neutral level.

Their moment was cut short when Leon’s voice filled the building: “Gianna Daniels, Elijah Masterson, Samuel Keats, and Lucas Farweight. Get to my office, NOW.” Eliana’s face showed a sudden concern. Anyone called to the Wardens’ building meant they did something bad or someone had put them in a hard to get out situation. Picking herself up, she offered her hand to Elijah, “I hope it’s not too bad. Rain check for that whole meditative trance thing you want to show me?”

It's always something isn’t it? He thought, accepting Eliana’s small hand to pull himself up. ”I’m sure it's nothing serious, as far as the meditation goes,” He places a hand on her shoulder, ”Just stop by my room anytime Room 2B Old West, Mitch is...usually not there.” He let a small smile grace his lips.

His smile made her heart pick up in rhythm. Elijah was really handsome and too kind to her. He didn’t gain much from this meeting besides her telling him she can’t share her personal issues with him. That she wasn’t ready to open her heart to him. Ellie felt obligated to repay him in someway.

Taking another chance, she wrapped her arms around him and brought him into a gentle embrace. She was silent for a moment as she buried her head into his chest. He was… warm. She liked how he felt.

At last, he needed to go to Leon’s office. Pulling away from him, the girl with prominent dark circles around her eyes gave him a cute, dimpled grin (too bad he was blind), “Thanks for understanding.”

He was surprised to be suddenly met with an embrace, so surprised his body started to heat up a little before he regained control of himself. He wasn’t sure what happened but it felt...nice and...he shook his head coming out of his mini daze. ”It’s, no problem at all. I’ll see you around...try to get some rest...if you can?” He turned around and once again walked towards the entrance. He lost control..even if it was just a moment, he lost control of himself and yet...he actually kind of liked it, or rather, liked that she made him do that...Eliana Lovelace….what an interesting curiosity.

@Thundercrash I really had to think, would Kayla try and leave out of embarrassment, or would she get pissed off enough to punch a bitch in the face. I chose the fun option XD.

Sylvia Vargas, what an annoyance. After a rather loud and bombastic introduction, coupled by a demeaning tirade and some rather interesting news involving Ellie and Lucas, the meeting finally went underway. Elijah was completely focused, listening to every word out of the professor’s mouth, but couldn’t help but see glances she was giving to the oblivious Eliana who stationed herself right next to him. He had to wonder what would be the cause of it, but considering the woman’s strict nature, it had to be him, why else would Eliana run off so quickly, her embarrassment present as she did so. Elijah would need to speak with the good professor, but also for another reason. Rather than approach the polling stations, he instead approached Mrs. Lovelace, ”Excuse me, Mrs. Lovelace, might we have a moment to speak in private, away from everyone else.” His pose was formal and respectful, he only required the professor's attention and he knew she would give it to him since he asked so politely.

The older woman with a constant resting bitch face kept her arms crossed and her green orbs as chilled as the breath of death. Someone who seemed far more cruel than she actually was. Cecilia Lovelace wasn’t one to often smile, nor would the blind man be affected by the indomitable nature that surrounded her. A teacher, a wife, and a mother. Three words that described her in the simplest of ways - all which required love and attention toward someone: a student, a husband, and a child. Her emotions could manifest her very being into a monster untold. Being passive was not an easy feat to accomplish and yet here she was, unreadable and unnervingly silent. She examined the boy that stood before her. Elijah Masterson. One of her best students in his year, aside from Lucas Farweight. It seems she may have given her daughter too much freedom by allowing her to room on campus. Eliana was involved in petty gossip and conversed with individuals like Avalon Middleton about ‘dates’. Then there was Sylvia, who thought she could get a rise out of her. If only her parents did not raise her to be such… a pain. Yet, her youngest daughter found the insufferable girl to be worth her friendship. Don’t think she didn’t hear that Jenivieve shared personal family information with Sylvia. For now, Cecilia would take it as hearsay. Until proven wrong, she would give Jenivieve the benefit of the doubt.

“Of course.” Turning her body, Mrs. Lovelace led the way to her office which was to the right of the arena’s door, inside the main training area. As she walked, she glanced over Eliana signalling her daughter to come to her office after she was done talking to whomever. It might be time for a mother daughter chat. After entering her office, she sat down in her large office chair and gestured for Elijah to take a seat, “Elijah, if you don’t mind, I need to check my emails. Feel free to express your concerns, I’m listening.” Opening up her computer, she started reading all her emails, while listening to the boy and possible romantic interest to her daughter speak in his eloquent yet monotone voice.

Tch, what a pain that Avalon was, openly announcing his and Eliana’s date. He was sure the ‘hero’ was trying to get a rise out of Mrs. Lovelace, at best embarrass Eliana publicly. He followed the professor and took a seat when offered, intertwining his fingers together as he spoke with the woman privately. ”Considering I can’t read the ballot, I figured speaking with you my choices was the next best option, they are as followed.”

Lucas Farweight - We’ve never truly seen eye to eye, and despite our association with one another as classmates, I feel he would be an even match, besides what better matchup than fire and sun?

Jessica Sterling - I’ve heard she’s strong, I want to see that strength for myself

Sylvia Vargas - Someone with such disrespect needs to be taught a lesson, broken down to the very core, then built back up.

Elijah sat back in his seat and contemplated the aura of the woman before him, he believed now was the best time to address Avalon’s outburst earlier, ”There is another reason why I asked to be seen. I’m sure you’re curious about my outing with your daughter, the brunch was lovely”

Hello Minako,

Yes. Referees, faculty, and staff will be keeping a close eye on each battle. You won't die, but you could be hospitalized for a week or two. In the Student Handbook, it states that during the year we will test our students physically, mentally, and emotionally. Students will be wounded, but not enough that it will ruin their lives. We are here to give you strength, power, and endurance but most importantly, confidence and control. We want you to succeed, but you cannot succeed until you fall.

In the real world, if you or your peers were to get in a fight with someone, may it be at a bar, or because an individual is robbing a bank, do you think your opponent will play fair? Or use any means in order to achieve their goal? We all have choices to make and sometimes good people may have to do bad things. Outside, where not everyone obeys 'the law', some individuals may choose to make their opponents immobile or dead. The arena will not be too far from reality. If your opponent isn't playing fair, should you? We want to prepare you for these encounters.

Depending on your opponent, you may or may not be allowed a weapon, but not of your choice. If we are allowing weapons in a match, both participants could have access to it or there could only be one that you would have to fight for. Everything depends on who you're fighting and what challenges the arena wants to give you. Of course, there are the exceptions of those students whose abilities rely on their weapons.

Thank you for contacting me.
Have a good day and stay out of trouble.



Mrs. Cecilia Lovelace
Disciplinary & Defense Instructor
Control Room Supervisor


Looking up from her email, Mrs. Lovelace nodded at Elijah’s choices, “I’m sure to see a common theme in people’s choices.” That comment was regarding Sylvia and the scene she had just displayed not too long ago. Leaning back in her chair, she deeply stared at her student, fully aware of the elephant in the room, “A fight with you and Lucas would be worth the watch, especially since it seems you two have a keen interest in my daughter.” Did she believe the rumors? No, not necessarily, but if she could find out more of what her students, especially her daughter, is doing on campus then by all means she would.

”This isn’t about fighting for your daughter’s affections, though considering how much the schools love their gossip, I don’t blame you for viewing it that way. He’s strong, but he’s not that strong and taking him down might send a message.” She was digging, that was for sure, but there was nothing to dig for, so he might as well answer honestly.

Her phone began to vibrate uncontrollably. Glancing over, she saw her youngest daughter’s name. Before she went to check it, Mrs. Lovelace speculated, “I know my daughter. She is fond of you, most likely because of your intelligence, Elijah.” A mother knows best, even if Eliana didn’t always see eye to eye with her. While opening her phone and quickly reviewing her second child’s texts, she replied to the boy in the robe, “As much as I can see a fight with you and Lucas, I have other things in mind. Don’t worry, you will get your chance but maybe not in your first battle.”

Elijah nodded, understanding that the decision was fair and he believed he was capable of making it to round two, just whoever he would be fighting was the real test to that. ”I believe that I’ve shared all I need to for now, thank you for your time ma’am, was there anything else?”

Sighing to herself as she glanced over the words on her phone, Mrs. Lovelace knew this was breaking some kind of line of student and teacher relationship, but she asked, her tone with a hint of worry, “This may be unprofessional of me and I do apologize in advance, but if you’re willing, can you see if my daughter has gotten any sleep lately?”

Was that not obvious? ”No disrespect, but did you not witness her state of duress yourself?” He paused letting the phrase sink in, ”Even I don’t have see it, but it seems her aura is off kilter, stress, anxiety, exhaustion, they’re all there.”

“Mr. Masterson. That was my way of asking to find out the cause without outwardly saying it. I do not… do this often.” She gestured at her and him and how she was asking for a favor because her eldest child feared to tell her anything that bothered her, “My daughter has looked worse even with sleep. Actually, she copes better without being flooded by--” She held her tongue, he didn’t need to know that much, “She seems to trust you more than me. I am not perfect and... I know she won’t tell me anything. If I treated her any differently in front of you all, the school would see that as favoritism and my job would be on the line. Yes. I may be cruel, but I want what’s best for her.”

This was a different side to her, one he was not used to, but understood; a mother worried for her daughter and she wanted his help. ”I’ll do what I can to the best of my ability, but that’s all I can promise” he stood up to see himself out, hand on the door handle he turned and said, ”Your daughter is smart professor, I understand you may want what’s best for her, but some of her decisions you need to trust. Worry can overstress someone after all, I’d rather not see you keel over because of it.” With that he opened the door to find Hugo standing there, a senior, Mayweather. He stepped past him and the hippie walked in.

”Yo professor L! You wanted to see me?” The door closed behind him. Mrs. Lovelace directed Hugo to sit before sending her youngest child a reply:

To: Jenivieve
Only tonight. Don't make this a habit.


“Take a seat, Hugo. Hopefully your colleagues don’t make you wait too long.”

Elijah then looked for Eliana who was waiting outside as well and approached her. ”You seem rather worse for wear, are you alright?” He asked.

Kayla eeped when Minako assaulted her from behind with a hug, and waved off both her’s and Amy’s concerns, stating that she was just tired. Then that Sylvia came in and made a ruckus, how dare she disrespect Mrs. Lovelace like that, her fist clenched but she didn’t move an inch. When the meeting began, Kayla tried to focus on all of the professor’s words, but her eyes kept closing and her head lulled a little. When the meeting was finally concluded and everyone made their way to the polls, she heard a rather familiar voice and her face flushed as she turned to see who it was. Leon Fulton, just thinking the name sent her face 50 shades of red, ever since she first laid eyes on him she started to crush on him, but never had the courage to actually ask him out. Why would he even be interested in a powerless little girl like her anyway, plus he obviously had interest in Amelia with the way he’d openly and loudly compliment her on anything and everything. She couldn’t blame him, she was rather beautiful and Kayla...Kayla was just some powerless girl trying to play superhero from Canada; how could she even compare?

Sighing she continued to trudge over to the polls and got a text, reading who it was from she smiled and texted Minako back.

To: Minako
That sounds like a really good idea, I’ll see you outside.


Midway through the text she heard her name called and eeped again, turning to see that Leon wanted to see her….she let that sink in; Leon Fulton, someone she crushed on and thought was a total dreamboat, wanted to see her. Her heart was a flutter, but she had to calm down and think rationally, it was probably something business related or...maybe she was in trouble? She didn’t think she’d done anything but...she texted Minako again.

To: Minako
I’ll see you and Amy later, I have to go do something right after this.


Closing her phone, she hurriedly made her way into the booth and started writing down her choices. She couldn’t think of any reason why she’d want to fight anyone, she didn’t have any reason to, but all the same she at least wrote down names. She really didn’t want to fight anyone she knew and there were a couple who seemed really intimidating, so she tried to write down people opposite to that category.

Avalon Middleton -

Samuel Keats -

Biting on the pen cap she struggled to think of a third name, until she started hearing loud talking from behind her. It was that Sylvia girl and...she was saying she was screwing Leon? Suddenly her face lit up like a tomato and she hurriedly tried to think of someone, anyone’s name. But she kept listening instead and heard...Leon being slandered...a player? A...a manwhore?! No...Leon wasn’t like that, and the red embarrassment on her face suddenly turned into that of anger, this bitch was going down. Disrespecting a professor was one thing, but disrespecting...him...Kayla audibly growled

SYLVIA VARGAS

She didn’t write a reason, but hopefully the way she jaggedly and forcefully scratched the words into the paper would get the message across, but she didn’t want to wait another week, she wanted to do something now. Turning from the poll, she marched herself towards Sylvia who’s back was to her, fists clenched, teeth gritted, she walked up and tapped the spoiled princess on the shoulder. As Sylvia turned, Kayla wound up her fist and with all her strength, landed a solid right hook, straight into that perfect barbie doll face and watched her tumble to the ground.

”Don’t you DARE bad mouth Leon like that!!” She shouted angrily, ”Unless you want more where that came from.”

”Wha-” The crunch of cartilage was clearly audible and throughout the room. Sylvia crumpled like tin foil onto the ground, pain lancing through her nose from Kayla’s sucker punch. She barely registered what just happened, much less her assailant. Stars danced in her eyes, blood trickled down her face, and tears poured down her beautiful face. The redhead was stunned and speechless, only emitting sorry sobs, whimpers, and groans as she lay there helpless on the ground. Nothing like this had ever happened to her, and she didn’t know what to do in response. Her nose was for sure broken, but she was so shaken by the event that she actually forgot about her own healing abilities, cradling the bloody mess that was her face in her hands.

Looking up at Amelia, not even caring that the bitch in front of her was crying and with less force in her voice she stated, ”And don’t you dare believe her…not even for a second” With that she turned on her heel and walked straight out of the control room, ignoring everything and everyone her priority was to find Leon and...oh no...reality started to hit her...what did she just do? The rush of adrenaline subsiding, her face returning to a normal color until it suddenly paled, ”I just hit Sylvia Vargas…”

Leon was where he usually was: in the Wardens’ Office in the Wesley Cone Building, which functioned as the haven for the Public Safety department. Well, he was either here or somewhere else on campus, but this was their main base of operations. It wasn’t really a luxurious room, but it sufficed. There was his desk, a series of security monitors behind him, a crummy looking couch, a TV, and a coffee machine. Thinking about, it actually reminded him a bit of his younger years. Minus the security monitors anyway. He was just about prepared to kick back and relax a little bit when the adorable Kayla entered. ”Ah! There’s the girl I needed to see.” he called out to her and motioned for her to sit in the vacant chair in front of his worn desk. Looking her up and down, she seemed anxious or something. Quirking an eyebrow at her, he asked her, ”What’s the matter, girl? You kill somebody?”

She found her way to Leon’s office, or rather the warden’s off and entered. When she was called in and found her to way a chair, she looked at him and rather dejectedly answered his question, ”I punched Sylvia Vargas in the face…”

Leon blinked exactly thrice at the short blonde, a look of complete confusion on his face. ”Wait. You did what?! God damn.” He was completely astonished by this revelation, and frankly, he wasn’t exactly sure he believed it since it was coming from the normally meek and mild Kayla. ”So when you say you punched Sylvia, do you mean like… you tripped her? Or… you fell on her? Nobody’s punched Sylvia before.” His voice was dead serious.

”She was badmouthing you, calling you a- a manwhore in front of Amelia and I got so angry, I walked towards her, tapped her on the shoulder, and when she turned I punched her right in the face...oh god I think I broke her nose…” Kayla paled, what did she even do?!

The Chief Warden couldn’t help but burst out into a fit of laughter, slapping the desk in front of furiously. The mental image of Sylvia Vargas getting decked in that vain mug of hers, broken nose and all, by the woman in front of him was possibly one of the greatest things he could imagine. ”That.. I can’t believe that. Kayla, you’re my damned hero. Holy hell.” Recovering from the outburst of giggles, he recomposed himself, a bright smile on his face. ”Oh man, she gonna be so mad at you, girl. That’s alright though. Ain’t nothin’ but a thing. You might have to explain this to Headmistress Dunn, but I wouldn’t worry about it too much. She likes you. Well, you and your father…” he explained calmly. The situation was still so damn surreal. Internally, he wanted more specifics on how it went down, like if Sylvia was crying or not, but there were more important subjects at hand right now.

”Well, anyway. Enough about Sylvia. Right now, we’re here to talk about you, Ms. Styles.” Shuffling around with some papers on his desk, he pulled up a report made up by one of Dewey brothers last week at a supposed “Hero’s Only” party, which ended getting crashed by some of troublemaking Delphinas. ”Now, it says here that you put yourself between Gianna Daniels and Samantha Youngblood when they started a scene. Says Sam was about to fry Gia’s dumbass. Most people would call your behavior stupid or foolish.” he told her, sternly but there was a hint of admiration in his voice. ”To us, the Wardens, we call that bravery. I mean, I can’t imagine. You ain’t got traditional powers like most people here on campus, and here you go, risking everything for a girl you don’t even know. Given any other circumstances, you probably woulda died. But you did what you thought was the right thing, and damn do I respect the hell out that.” Leon was praising and beaming Kayla with almost every word. His hand slid an unopened envelope to Kayla over the scarred desk, marked with the seal of both Headmasters. Scrawled on the front of the envelope was her full name and underneath were the words “The Order of the Wardens”. It it wasn’t already apparent, this was a full invitation to join their society. ”We need more people like you, Kayla.”

For a minute, Kayla thought she might have been in trouble for punching another student in the face, but instead here Leon was laughing. She blushed at his praises, even though she knew she hadn’t exactly made the best decision. When he finally stopped he got completely serious and again she felt she was in trouble when he brought up the night of those events at the party. Instead, he slid her an envelope, she picked it up and her hand brushed over the wax seals, turning it over it had her name on it, she was speechless, completely unsure of how to act to this sudden invitation. ”Y...you’re asking me to be a warden? I-I-I can’t do that, I don’t even have any powers!”

Leon rolled his eyes at Kayla’s defiant protests. ”It’s not the power that makes a Warden. It’s the spirit. I think people underestimate you, Kayla. You’re capable of more than you think, with or without powers. I’ll be there to support you. Me and the other Wardens. Ultimately, this is your decision though.” he told the adorable blonde. Hopefully she’d come around. Someone like her around would definitely liven up the place, he thought to himself. He could only handle so much of the Dewey brothers, after all.

For some reason, hearing that from Leon...it felt like...it actually mattered and for once Kayla didn’t feel so down about herself. She stared at the letter in her hand, she’d be taking on a huge responsibility, and even though she didn’t believe in herself, Leon did. Besides, if it meant she’d be spending more time with her crush… Gripping it tighter she nodded and looked the man straight in his eyes, ”Alright Leon, I’ll do it. I’ll become a Warden.”

A grand smile graced Leon’s lips, and he got up from his chair, went over to Kayla, and gave her a huge hug. ”I knew you’d accept! I’m hyped to see what you bring to the table, Kay.” the Chief exclaimed before finally putting the tiny girl back down. ”I’ll give you a taste of what’s to come tonight, when it’s usually a little more active. How does 8 work for you?”

Kayla was expecting a handshake, instead she was lifted off the ground, once again giving a tiny eep at the sudden contact. She hugged him back as he exclaimed and she couldn’t help but grin wide (and maybe take a small wiff, he smelled really good). Being put back down she stood up proud, a big smile on her face, ”S-sure, 8 o’clock sounds good, I’ll do the best I can!”

”Great! Hopefully it doesn’t end like the last time I trained someone… Got hit in the damn head by some goons with rocks. That was not a fun experience…” He paused and thought about that night, an annoyed look etched into his facial expression. ”Well, anyway. You’re free to go. I’ll be here if you have any questions though.” Leon spoke before heading back to his chair. He was a bit overwhelmed with work right now, especially since he had missed a few days last week going back for his little brother’s birthday. He still had to have glance at those security tapes from last week…

Even though Kayla should have been worried, she actually wasn’t, ”Don’t worry about any rocks, that’s why I’ve got a helmet on,” she knocked her head with a couple light taps for emphasis, giggling a little. She took out a piece of paper and grabbed a pen from his desk, writing down her number and handing it to him. ”In case you need to contact me,” she started heading for the door, and in a faux serious expression, turned around gave a salute, ”I’m off Chief, see you tonight.” She smiled and exited the room, then building. Pulling out her phone she texted Minako.

To: Minako
Just finished up, I have some incredible news to tell you both! Where are we meeting?


For once since she came here, Kayla walked tall, she was on cloud 9 and even though she punched someone in the face, she didn’t worry about it. For once in her life, she felt really confident about herself.

Unlike most people Elijah didn't receive some fancy email through the power of technology, but was rather surprised when a small envelope appeared under his dorm room door one morning; how curious, and written in braille as well. As his hand glided over the raised bumps his gaze became rather contemplative, an invitation to the tournament, his thoughts wandered from the unexpected to the anticipated. Did they finally believe he had enough control? Regardless of whether the professors believed so or not, he felt prepared, and though he didn't know his competition yet, he would find out soon enough.

The one known as Brimstone had gotten up rather early to meditate on the events of the day and the previous weeks. After his endeavor with Eliana he hadn't seen neither hide nor tail of her, and though worry had spread through his core, he suppressed the feeling, not wanting to be seen as some attention seeking dog; far from it. As for the tourney, well the time was nearing and grabbing his cloak he was out the door, his strides long and confident as he found his way to the control room arena. Others had already arrived, some he recognized, others he did not, Lucas in particular stood out to him, Gianna's right hand man, and a tournament of terror champion. If Lucas was in this, then things would definitely get dangerous, if anyone was truly a match for his raw strength though, Elijah felt confident that he would be the one to. As the saying goes, get too close to the sun and you may just burn.

Mood: Meltdown commencing → Exhausted/Unaware

The young blonde had found herself tangled up in her bed sheets, hyperventilating and completely freaking the actual fuck out. After a really pleasant meeting with Minako and her new friend, Kayla had found herself spending more and more time, particularly with Minako. Now days later, after checking through her emails, she found the one that made her face turn paler than a ghost and she immediately hid herself away, locking herself in her room and trying to ostrich her way into the dirt.

"Whymewhymewhyme~?!" Kayla thought, her stomach turning knots in protest to the amount of stress and anxiety she felt. She wasn't a real super, sure she had her suit, but why choose her for this?! She hadn't even passed that many levels in the control room and yet they were literally throwing her to the wolves, or sharks, or frickin dragons that were the super powers of Mayweather and Delphina. She couldn't handle it, and yet she was absolutely, positively supposed to come to this frickin thing! That night, Silver did not sleep so well.

Exhaustion. It was written plainly on her face, anxiety and self doubt, add in a lack of sleep, equals to suddenly not caring about anything as exhaustion sets in. No sleep, not a single hour, and after this...she might actually have to skip classes, but could she even bring herself to sleep again? Kayla Styles trudged her way towards the control room arena, it was all she could do as auto-pilot suddenly set in as the alarm went off. She had put on clothing, but had done nothing to her hair, no makeup, no freshness, just a completely sad panda.

She entered the building, then the room, if there were others there she didn't register them. She felt like a phantom, a dead man simply waiting for the gallows as she fell in line, lifeless, listless. This was the end for her.

Interacting With: Himself
Mood: Unsure of his warning → Surprised → Content with life

After having overheard the meeting between the three Delphinas, Hugo had tried to search high and low for Samantha. When he did finally catch her, she was with her friend Avalon, and as Hugo approached, ready to tell her of the secret meeting, something stopped him. At the mere mention of Gianna, Sam's eyes suddenly lit up in an awful way, a similar glaring look of damnation that he had seen from Gianna herself, something sinister. It stopped him, and rather than having nothing to report, he simply played it off as an invitation for her, him and Gianna to get rather...intimate with one another. The glaring daggers and sudden change in wind speed was all the message he needed for him to hop away from mother hurricane; FAR AWAY. Now days later he received a message to join in the winter formal committee, which completely surprised him. Usually he wasn't tasked with such promising events due to his forgetfulness, the fact that he was chosen must of meant they at least wanted his imput and if was that important, he'd have to at least write it down somewhere.

Hugo walked through the halls towards the white room, in jeans, a flannel, barefoot and hair tied up in a man bun. His usual duffel pack was strapped to his back, his sword in one hand, his guitar in the other. As he approached the room he casually grasped the sword in his guitar hand to allow himself entrance to the meeting room. It didn't look like anyone else had arrived and with a big smile and friendly wave he entered inside and seated himself at an appropriate chair close by the window, having set his pack and sword by it, opting to keep his guitar in hand. Kicking his feet up on the table he lightly played his guitar, just strumming a few strings as he waited for the meeting to start.

Out of nowhere a rather handsome Asian made a rather exuberant appearance, spinning in his chair several times before shouting to the world and throwing confetti in the air. Hugo was a dimension hopper, so the fact that someone else could do it didn't really surprise him, even if it may have surprised others. After the young man had made his entrance Hugo raised his hand and waved to the Asian.

"Bonjour." And immediately went back to playing his guitar.
