James jumped as the Professor suddenly silenced the arguments. It seemed the penalty for failure would be severe. Due to his circumstances, failure would not be an option for him. This was all starting to spin out of control. James came here to hide, not fight. Still, he might as well try. What did he have to lose anymore?

Not wanting to step anywhere near the absolute mess that was Sophie and Will, James looked for his group. It seemed he was paired with Lucian, Astrid, and one of the late individuals. He focused on a chair near Lucian, and teleported over. At least, he would have. Until he heard Astrid suddenly behind him. Jumping a bit as he suddenly lost his focus, he turned around to face her."Um, yes. Hi. Hello." he managed to mutter. He took a second to compose himself."I was just wondering what happens now. I imagine we'd be doing more then a simple orientation"

I should have my app done some time tomorrow night.

Interacting: No one in particular

James began to get a bit antsy as verbal one liners were thrown back and forth. It wasn't just because he wasn't a fan of this crap. Every time he opened his mouth, Will managed to rub him the wrong way. Reminded him too much of his tormentors from high school. Finishing his breakfast, James casually teleported to the trash can, threw out his garbage, and went back to his seat. He was about to go back to awkwardly observing the conversation, as usual, before he suddenly realized something. He just casually used his powers. In fact, that was the first time he had used them for something so simple. Perhaps this whole "mutant school" idea was starting to rub off on him. Realizing he wasn't really paying attention, James shook himself from his thoughts and observed, waiting for the Professor to continue the lesson. Whatever it would be.

And James has solved his breakfast problem. Good luck with that, everyone else.

Interacting: Everyone Present

James looked around at everyone present. Gathered around the professor were a group of people all about his age. He could only wonder what everyone's powers were, except Grace, who had told him around the time he first arrived. Come to think of it, the whole group looked pretty out of place. When the Professor began to talk, James began to calm down a bit. Things were getting on track. At least, that was until the point of coming down here was made clear. Then James got nervous again. Him? An X-Man? James could barely protect himself, let alone protect other people.

He had to admit, the Professor's power was rather interesting. That being said, Sophie's was a little more.....concerning. The Professor grabbing a fire extinguisher certainly didn't make him feel better. Then Charlotte walked in, which set James a bit on edge. He was barely comfortable talking to people. Having them in his head made him feel just that much more vulnerable. And then Bryson walked in, which was an odd experience.

Looking around, James noticed a pause in the conversation. Someone should go next. Of course, James didn't want to go next. Hell, he barely wanted to go at all. Still, it was better to just get this out of the way. So, steeling himself for social interaction, James stood up. "Um.....Hi," he stuttered. "I'm James Erikson. My alias is Traveler. And I can......well, just watch the window." James got a quick look at the inside of the range through the window, and focused on a single spot in there. James then felt the strange but familiar sensation of reality spinning around him for a split second, and suddenly found himself inside the range. To anyone watching him, it looked like he had suddenly poofed out of and into existence. James gave a hesitant wave through the window.

James was about to teleport back, when he felt his stomach growl. Apparently, his quick breakfast wasn't enough. He absent-mindedly thought of the vending machines he saw on the way to the basement. Then the world spun again, and he was suddenly in front of them. Oops. Glancing around a bit, James figured that if he was here, he might as well use them. He bought a bottle of orange juice and another granola bar before reappearing by his chair again. He glanced around awkwardly at everyone. "Yeah, um........I can teleport," he muttered, before sitting down again and eating his makeshift breakfast.

James groaned as his alarm clock roused him from sleep. He rolled over and scrambled to turn it off, before eventually forcing himself off his bed. James stretched out for a moment as he collected himself. At least he had actually gotten some sleep this time. That meant he was finally getting used to this. At least, he hoped.

James got a look around his room. He had been living here for about the past few weeks. With no real home to go back to for now, the professor had been kind enough to let him board early. As James prepared himself for the day, he thought about his family, and wondered how they were doing. He hoped that they were OK, and that his running off had spared them the worst. Come to think of it, teleporting back was a possibility, though a dangerous one. Most of the town still wanted his head.

James shook himself from his thoughts as he finished getting ready, throwing on his jacket. He checked the time, and suddenly realized why he was up earlier then usual. He had to meet the professor in the basement today. Of course, at this point he realized if we wanted to be on time, he would have to skip breakfast. Groaning in frustration, he grabbed one of his last granola bars from his time on the run, took a swig of water, and made for the basement.

The basement itself was pretty confusing. James had a pretty good sense of direction, but even he became slightly annoyed as he took a wrong turn every now and then. Eventually, though, he found the Professor and three other people sitting around a glass table. He figured this is where he was supposed to be. He also figured he should probably say something before they thought he was weird. "Um......morning, everyone," he said quietly before sitting in one of the lounge chairs.
