Sue was all ready for gym in her slack clothing that fitted and was comfortable – the traits of being a long-time dancer; her white rubber shoes, her loose cargo track trousers, her white tank-top that revealed her black bra straps, her black earmuffs that blended well with her black beanie. She looked as though she was heading for dance class once again, ready to teach or be taught choreography. Gym class was all the same, really, except there was really less freedom. Fitness and health were some of Sue's life priorities so gym was always something Sue felt would not necessarily excel in as an intent of academic progression, but a value and life choice that helped her stay ahead of the pack.\n\nJust before she entered, she heard the loudest howl that must have belonged to the cat dude yesterday. Her classmates were there! As she entered the gym, she noticed a new face walking up to him and she grew interested of his vibrant hair. She wondered if he was a new classmate of hers and whether she'd be seeing him often. This must mean that she'd have to tell him that he can't make too much noise again. Sue had gotten used to owing people the knowledge of her state of being. The gym was loud again, and so Sue made everything louder with her passive ability. Her earplugs from jogging were still in her pocket, but they were less desirable as they didn't block out as much sound as the earmuffs did. Where the earplugs blocked most air from entering in, her specialized earmuffs topped it by absorbing some of the sound before it even enters from its outer surface. The only downside was that it was cumbersome and quite considerably warm. She'd found that it was the earmuffs to go, so she put them on.\n\n\n\nShe smiled, this was no problem. She did this every night, and had just jogged enough this morning for her to be warmed up already.\n\nShe waited for as many people to finish off the treadmill and went on. She used to run track for her in-school sports competitions, and so went on for 3,000M, around 3 whole laps of a standard race track. Her record was, on the top of her memory, 10 minutes. Her lung capacity was adept and sizeable, a feature she must have possessed from genetics by her screaming father Banshee, and her heart paced regularly from repetition of action and therefore was done after her run and headed for the yoga mat.\n\nSue was a flexible person, and in her days in the dance studio often people stared in awe of the way Sue could contortion her body. Granted there were limits of just how much people could bend, and Sue was not a contortionist with mildly-stocky body, but she pulled through with years of practicing, almost literally. She giggled silently at her own pun.\n\nShe sat on the yoga mat, and while Dr. McCoy watched, she stretched as much as she could. She did the split, folded herself forward and arched herself backwards, all sorts of angles and folds that could be achieved from ballet dancing. She was an aficionado of dance forms, and so she joined many classes to broaden her horizon and learnt to absorb, assimilate and create dance styles that suited Sue's style. She wasn't impressed herself, because to her it was just warm-up.\n\nNow came the harrowing part – the bench pressing station. Sue did her pushups and had refined muscles that were obvious in certain angles, but she was not a strong person. Her muscles were trained to handle her own weight for long duration, but she couldn't imagine how to even hold the barbell. She pulled out the previously used weights, dropping them to the floor with a loud thud that reverberated through the gym and amplified even more by the ears. She made note to do the other side just as quickly, and put on the 50 pounds weights. 40 repetitions with 50 pounds were not impossible; she was used to doing 100 pushups every night supporting her own weight of about 130 pounds. She thought she could have pushed more, but she might have struggled around 20 with anything heavier. So she completed her 40, struggling at the last 10, and then went back to the treadmill, then back on the yoga mat.\n\nShe was exhausted, and she liked it. It was always better to feel as though you were improving, because once you were perfect there's literally nothing to do anymore. She was at least happy that she didn't have to do her exercise routine again tonight after just now.\n\n\n\nAfter all that, she just sat at the top row of the bleachers, and watched the rest. She saw Kijani to her left, and happily, she ran to her and hugged her, uncaring about her own sweat to her. She waved at the new boy, with a giant grin.

He decides to try and not overdo it. After a few moments' deliberation, he puts 500 pounds and pumps out 40 reps, working up quite a sweat. He returns to the treadmill for the 30 minute jog, then signs out of the classroom, and heads for the history class.*\"I hope. what's her name? Aver'i? I hope she's at the history class.

There was a trick to memorizing and understanding History: it was to be understood as a story – relaying everything into a movie with all its moving parts; Actors, script-writing, lighting, sound, props, directing, all were pivotal to the success or at least the flow of a movie, and history is much like this, since you could understand each important factor as told from different points of view and is a factual statement, regardless of its lack of objectivity.\n\n\n\nThe class ended, and Kijani and Sue went out of the classroom after much nodding and smiling from Sue. She could use some fresh air from what had felt like still, deadening air from the classroom. She hadn't meant any disrespect to Professor X, as history was simply not everyone's favourite subject. Sue was immersed, but one couldn't help but be lulled into drowsiness when other people were fast asleep in the same room as you were, all the bored expressions and lack of responses.

There was a trick to memorizing and understanding History: it was to be understood as a story – relaying everything into a movie with all its moving parts; Actors, script-writing, lighting, sound, props, directing, all were pivotal to the success or at least the flow of a movie, and history is much like this, since you could understand each important factor as told from different points of view and is a factual statement, regardless of its lack of objectivity.\n\n\n\nThe class ended, and Kijani and Sue went out of the classroom after much nodding and smiling from Sue. She could use some fresh air from what had felt like still, deadening air from the classroom. She hadn't meant any disrespect to Professor X, as history was simply not everyone's favourite subject. Sue was immersed, but one couldn't help but be lulled into drowsiness when other people were fast asleep in the same room as you were, all the bored expressions and lack of responses. Professor X must have a burden of reading all of their thoughts and reflecting that their class was not the most enticing to the youngsters despite its importance he advocated.\n\nThe two met Ben, and they conversed on the topics of the class and Kijani's powers. Sue learnt that Kijani had had them for a very long time. Sue thought that that was actually kind of beautiful, to have already experienced the world in such a different way from such a young age. Sue just smiled in the presence of the two.\n\nThe two went to the cafeteria straight away, and Sue sat outside in the tables with the umbrellas, away from the noise, and her tray filled, yet again, to the brim with food.\n\n\n\nSue did not mean to leave Kijani alone, but she picked up her tray and gestured Kijani into hoping she'd follow her over to the crying girl Sue saw. That was a thing that Sue liked to do, and it was to comfort people as much as she could. She was a very sociable person and enjoyed the company of her friends, in their times of need, and hopefully, in her own times of need. She also looked around a lot, not being distracted as easily with the need to talk, so she was able to see what most people were too busy to see.\n\nShe went over to her, sat down, and started eating next to Phoebe.

She had no fighting skills and no strategies to approach the man that copied your powers.

Maybe she could run circles around him, but he did have wings and telekinesis, a power he liked to use against ranged abilities. She desperately tried to remember what more she learnt from Captain America, but she was not ever going to get close enough to land a pathetic punch.\n\nSeveral students interrupted her thought, as Sue turned to them, and noticed how nonchalant and fearless they seemed about themselves. Not even a hushed tone; they talked to one another without any barriers of interpersonal relationship, implying they've interconnected to a higher degree of closeness she had yet to experience with her current friends. She did give out a few hugs and received some, but she wondered neither if she had given off the right impression nor if they liked her. She wasn't an introvert nor was she critical on herself; but she was in a new environment and not with her friends.\n\nThen it hit her. Of course, she thought about it already, and she could still pull it off; she had her powers! Her powers could deafen a person with even the lowest of volumes Sue hears, and that was just passive. She could distort Mimic's concentration enough for her to incapacitate him. But she was afraid of how he'd react with his power mimicry. She'd have to step it up, and go beyond her zone of fear and show a side of her that no one in this school has seen yet. She looked into her bag, and saw them. She won't take them out yet, but she was almost excited to see the reactions people would have when she does.\n\n\n\nAgain, she was interrupted in her thoughts, and she barely opened her mouth to return a reply when…\n\n\n\nMy goodness the interruptions were too darn high. She was caught off-guard and she panicked all over. She looked to the familiar faces to look for some support, but she knew that support was not going to help her.\n\n**So, she took off her earmuffs, and reached down into her bag to reveal to her classmates her headphones.**\n\nHer headphones were large, and covered a large portion of her head. They were cushioned all over the inside to ease comfort into her head, and were obviously custom-made.\n\nThe ear cups were the highlights and were a state of art technology that was handed to Sue by her father on one of her birthdays – her 5th, she believed, when her passion was starting to blossom. There were gridded wheels on each ear cup to control the volume of her music. Each ear cup had a touchscreen digital visualizer that represented the music she was listening to in analog waves or bars (she was free to choose the visualizer herself) and she could control the choice, flow, and quality of music through the screens. It was a bit inconvenient since the screen was to the side, so there were mechanical buttons present as well on each cup in a ring outside of the touchscreen. It emanated a glow of a luminescent yellow and blue, and the casing and strong metal mould that held everything together was a pristine white. It was a tough, incredibly sophisticated and really loved device that Sue loved. It was the envy of many headphone lovers alike, and it was a masterpiece of technology. It had a GPS locater chip that made sure that it wouldn't ever be lost or stolen completely. It was especially designed for its lightness and durability, which meant that Sue could dance with these headphones without worry of damage or added cumbersome weight.\n\n*She looked cool in her headphones.*\n\nShe was going to disrupt Mimic's attention with her music.\n\nAnalog waves and digital sound were completely different things. Natural, environmental, bioacoustics, man-made (not artificial) sounds all came in analog waves, which was the natural wavelength which was continuous and flowing.\n\nHowever, to record, convert and reintroduce that sound into a digital format, it was not as realistic. Digital audio had to consider sampling rates and the audio resolution. The sampling rate meant how many samples were taken per second, meaning how \"much\" of the sound was captured and replicated. The audio resolution meant how much of said sound was accurate in terms of pitch. Quantization levels were needed to determine the volume of each sample of sound. The more the quantization levels, the more similar it is to the actual tone and decibel of the natural sound.\n\nThough digital sound will never be as*nice*as natural sounds, technology made it possible that Sue had nothing to fear over when facing Mimic.\n\nShe left the classroom and entered the room where Mimic was; the door seemed to loom over her enormously and the cold doorknob woke up Sue's attention.\n\n**************************\n\nSue entered the room, her eyes traced the layout of the cameras, the walls, the artificial lights on the ceiling, but she could not avoid the sight of the intimidating Mimic. She'd seen what he could do, but he has not yet experienced anything like Sue.\n\n**She adjusted the volume down to THREE, but it was similar to the volume of a loud concert right in your face.**\n\nSolemnly, she thought to herself:*\"And today's song choice is…\"*\n\n Kredo - Singularity (JPhelpz Remix)\n\nSuddenly the room was filled with reverberation ripples and sonic waves of loud techno music. The volume, as loud as a jet taking off within earshot, was deafening, but it had no effect on Sue. She could see Mimic covering his ears and struggling to stand up.\n\nSo she placed her hands on the ground, and she balanced herself and pivoted in pendulum, swinging herself around. She was breakdancing, and she was twirling her legs in the air all over the room. She flipped forwards and backwards everywhere, moving the source of sound all over the room, in the hopes that Mimic could never get the chance to fully concentrate. The other room must be wincing in pain with the high volumes by now.\n\nHer glowing headphones, her red hair, her orange trousers, the swiftness and agility on how she moved made these colours look like she was emitting light. She was a blur of colours that moved majestically to the loud beats of the music.\n\n\n\nThe chorus came, and she jumped in front of Mimic, and started to spin on her head and with the weight bearing on her shoulders she spun around with amazing precision and remarkable poise.\n\nReference – I recommend you watch.\n\nMimic hadn't at all made a move; he was barely moving and she was running laps around her. She was defeating him. The sound never left the room, and so the volumes were consistent. She remembered Iron Fist's training, and realized one thing was true: her emotions controlled her passive powers, and made them active. She was happy and energetic and she felt her power amplifying her music even louder.\n\nFor the final act, she got on her feet, jumped forward towards Mimic, with a twist of the volume wheels on her headphones, turned it up to SIX. A concussive blast that was sure to knock Mimic out. She had no intention to kill him, but it was an exciting act that she could control herself; she was feeling it and there was no stopping her. She hoped her classmates wouldn't hate her for this.**The sonic blast had the force of a bomb explosion, but Mimic had assimilated Sue's power, and so the sound volume spike was *doubled.***\n\nThe impact of two huge sound bombs exploding blew the walls apart. The left, right and the wall behind Mimic blew away outwards. The walls behind Sue, which covered them from her fellow classmates, stayed upright.\n\nThere broke holes and several damaged the building. The building they were in now had a three-floor gaping hole in and out of the building.\n\nThe building had been evacuated with the loud volumes. Students outside had gathered to see what had caused the damage. Many superheroes were flying and floating around to see the massacre.\n\nAll eyes were on her; she nearly destroyed an entire building, the foundations weakening by the second but held. Her classmates were barely alive with the blast of over safe levels of sound. Mimic was on top of her, shielding her from debris that fell on top of her.\n\nAs the song ended, her headphones stopped their glow of their bright colours, and Sue pressed the stop button.\n\nShe bowed, and left the room by the door, comically still upright with no supporting frame.", "username": "Dioxide", "char_name": null }, { "text": "Phoebe scrambled up \"that was awesome!

Soon enough they were crawling all over her, sniffing and purring around her. Sue had a natural aura of benevolence. She was nice to every being, and she felt relaxed with the little overgrown kittens.\n\nShe got up for a quick three-minute nap, and locked the pen behind her as she left. She wanted to know where the others were. The Hulk! She suddenly remembered!\n\nThe note did say that she could call them. She guessed that Anthony forgot that she couldn't talk. She had to go help, but she had no idea where they were.\n\nShe patted herself clean of dirt. She had to figure out where they were and quick. For all she knew the Hulk was coming her way. She had to get out of this house. She ran around the enormous house to find the main door. She found it, and ran out, pushing it hard.\n\nShe was facing an open field, the shiny façade of the building reflecting light and heat into the outside, the trees and scenery beautiful, but way yonder she could see the smoke and dust, and missing buildings of the once beautiful New York City.\n\nShe had to get there, but she didn't want to use music just yet, too soon in case she'd attract more unwanted attention.\n\nShe turned around, and after leaping a good height, clapped and the shockwave pushed her into the air and towards the city. She repeated the process of clapping in the air until she finally landed on one of the buildings of the city.\n\nShe looked around, hoping to find anyone she could recognize. She heard yelling in the desolate city, and clapped her way towards it, atop a building to see what had been going on.\n\nShe was several stories high up, just above her classmates who were fighting amongst themselves. She was annoyed; she did not expect this attitude from them. So she snapped her fingers against the ears,**creating a loud snap**that echoed and reverberated throughout the city.\n\nShe held her arms out to the side, a gesture of \"What the heck?\"", "username": "Dioxide", "char_name": null }, { "text": "Having been told off by Kijani, Esuterura went \"silent\".

In a slightly better mood she finally noticed something was off. It was like a change in the air. Emotions were heating up where she'd left everyone else.\n\nHeading back she stopped a little ways away to get an idea what was going on. Tension was high with everyone yelling at each other.

On the sides the SHIELD insignia was clearly visible. It wasn't too often that they would be seen interacting with the heroes and villains of the academy. Better to not be associated as much as possible. But today they had a special delivery. Awaiting their arrival was Superman and Martian Manhunter. The ramp on the back folded down and a girl was escorted out. Her arms were locked together by braces that encased her hands an forearms. Brought before the heroes the martian spoke. \"There's no need for restraints here. Release her.\"\n\nNo sooner were her hands free did she turn on the shield agent who took off the braces. Grabbing the restraint she whipped it around and slammed it into the side of the mans head. The other agents quickly took aim but that didn't stop her.

[ { "text": "Collab Final \n\n\n\n**Knight**\n\n*\"This simpleton travels in a mobile arsenal and he doesn't want to kill. Why bother with the weapons?\"* Anthony wonders as he trails behind Connor.\n\n**Caits**\n\nConnor glanced passed rooms as they passed them, making his way to the wall, carefully trying to avoid were people were. He wasn't a fool, he knew that it would be better to deal with them now, but instead he worked at the security system to trap them in the rooms they were as he walked, still looking out for any danger. There were always ways around not killing people, but Connor knew sometimes to just could to help but have to kill. When that time came, he would do it. But he wouldn't sneak around a corner and mufder someone, or shoot them while they were unconscious. That wasn't...honorable. It was downright dirty, really.\n\nHe sighed, approaching the wall\n\n**Dizzy**\n\nIt couldn't be heard by normal human ears, but perhaps Ingot could pick up noise through the wall. A faint voice, one that sounded weary... reciting poetry.\n\n*`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves\nDid gyre and gimble in the wabe:\nAll mimsy were the borogoves,\nAnd the mome raths outgrabe.\n\n\"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!\nThe jaws that bite, the claws that catch!\nBeware the Jubjub bird, and shun\nThe frumious Bandersnatch!\"*\n\n**Caits**\nI believe some one is reciting that poem from through the looking glass, sir\" Ignot relayed to Connor, and Connor frowned. It seemed like an odd poem to recite, but then, how would Connor know?\n\nHe looked for a security Panel, but he knew he wouldn't be able to break through it without causing alarm. He could override the security, but that would take time, and someone upstairs was bound to notice.\n\nSo he raised a suited hand into a fist, and smashed the panel there, before doing the same to the wall. Sometimes, brute strength was the only option, and Connor was lucky that the suit enhanced his own strength. In moments, Connor had taken down the wall enough to slip through, and he did so, starting through it.\n\n**Dizzy**\n\nWhen the wall came down and the dust cleared, the metallic table standing up in the middle of the lab became visible. Kijani was strapped to it, and had been reciting poetry and books for hours. It felt like hours, anyway. At the noise, she'd startled, and was surprised to find the movement coming back to her fingers and toes.\n\n\"W-who's there?\" Her voice was hoarse and high pitched\n\n**Caits**\n\nConnor never wanted to hear Kijani's voice like that again, and he could feel anger rise to overcome him, but with effort if will, he remained calm. Light bloomed as he made the effort to flip a light on his suit, not that he really needed it, but it was a comfort. \"Kijani\"\n\nNot caring about what Anthony wanted to do, Connor moved swiftly towards her, but wasn't completely foolish as he looked for any signs of security or traps or anything like that. He swallowed, reaching the table, studying the straps before looking to kijani. He let the mask up, \"I'm sorry. I should have been here sooner\"\n\n**Dizzzy**\n\nKijani looked... surprisingly unharmed. Her clothes and hair were a mess, but there was no blood or obvious injury.\n\nThere was something in her eyes, though... like a tiger that had been ripped from the wild and thrown into a circus act. Something... broken.\n\n\"Connor... you're... you're here... how are you here?\"\n\n**Caits**\nConnor seemed to hesitate, unsure of how to reply. He was sure something had happened, and he was sure the root of that was Anthony. But Connor wouldn't be here if Anthony hadn't brought him, hadn't shown him where the place was.\n\nHe grimaced, and said truthfully, \"Anthony brought me\" He said softly, as he began to work at the straps, to loosen them hopefully without hurting Kijani, \"I have no idea what his intentions are, but I'm not going to give him a chance to full fill them without getting you out of here\" he said, as he continued to loosen the straps, hating the look in Kijani's eyes\n\n**Knight**\n\nAnthony listens to the reunion silently, standing in the hall to watch for any oncoming threats. After a few minutes, he calls over his shoulder, \"I hate to interrupt this beautiful moment, but we really should be moving along.\"\n\n**Dizzy**\n\nKijani seemed to be relaxing under Connor's attention, but at Anthony's voice, a layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. She would have gone tense, like a startled animal, but her half paralyzed muscles refused to obey. Instead she shut her eyes, whimpering slightly. The last straps came off, and she more or less crumpled to the ground. Her legs wouldn't support her. \"...I'm sorry, Connor...\"\n\n**Caits**\n\nKijani's reaction to Anthony's voice was all the confirmation Connor needed. Anthony had something to do with why she was here. When she crumed, Connor gently picked her up, turning to Anthony. His expression was hard, and almost unreadable \"I know what you have done, Luther.\" His mask slipped down, with a soft click and Connor started to walk, to get out of there, stepping through the torn down wall, trusting Ignot to watch his back, to make sure Anthony didn't try anything.\n\nHe looked about, and started to the elevator, figuring that as the only way out, besides blasting holes in the roof\n\n**Dizzy**\n\nKijani was leaning against Connor the best she could. The suit was making her edgy- she'd just spent hours lying on cold metal, and warm metal really wasn't that much fun either. \"...but you.. you don't know, Connor. You don't... you don't know anything, and it's all my fault.\"\n\n**Caits**\n\nConnor sighed, \"I don't need to know everything, but I have a pretty good guess in any case\" he said, pressing the button for the elevator. \"This isn't your fault. I won't believe that\" He stepped into the elevator, not even looking about to see if Anthony was following, not caring if he was or wasn't \"We can talk when we are out of here\"\n\n**Knight**\n\nAnthony walks behind Connor at a leisurely pace, then says nonchalantly, \"For a so called 'hero-in-training' you don't seem to care very much about the other children and teenagers that are trapped here, undergoing the same horrors that Kijani went through.\"\n\n[/b]Caits[/b]\n\nConnor sighed, \"There's only adults in the rooms here. I'm pretty sure it was just Kinaji. but I shall ask Ignot to look about once more, just in case\" He said, an edge of malice in his tone, which he quickly tried to suppress, even as he quickly looked about again\n\nWhile there were adults in the rooms, banging on the doors, there were no figures as small as children. Not even ones that looked like teenagers. Kijani seemed to be the only one.\n\nConnor relayed this information, \"just the adults I locked in. Now are you going to get in the damned elevator? Because I will leave you behind\" he said, managing to keep his voice neutral this time.\n\n**Knight**\n\nAnthony follows them into the elevator, lost in thought. *\"Where did she move them? Dd I really plan all of this in vain? I suppose I need to try a more direct approach at a later date.\"*\n\n**Dizzy**\n\nKijani was trembling now, her muscles starting to come back to life. She shivered against Connor's metal suit, even though she should have been relatively warm. What was next, now? Who was going to use her next? Anthony certainly planned to do something with her- otherwise he would have just left her. Obviously he was trying to earn some kind of favor; he was bound to pull a 'this was my plan all along'. Even if it was, and he fully intended to rescue her, she was nothing but a pawn. A piece. ...nothing.\n\nA weak sob escaped her throat as she tried to curl up in a tight ball. \"...someone knock me out..\"\n\n**Caits**\n\nConnor grimaced, looking to Kijani \"it's going to be okay\" he said softly. Connor waited for the elevator doors to open, turning to Anthony, his voice hard \"you even think about hurting her again, and I will kill you\" as the doors opened, he crossed the floor to the exit with long strides, wanting to be out of this place, to get Kijani safe and to figure out what had been done to her. There was no way in hell that he was going to travel back with Anthony, and besides his suit was faster.\n\nAs soon as he was outside, they set a course for the academy, and took of into the air, kijani held close to him\n\n**Dizzy**\n\nKijani pressed up against him, murmuring near silently. She was desperately trying to will herself into unconsciousness. To do that, she was trying to meditate. Every time she got to a point of quiet within herself, her grandmother's voice would break into the silence, speaking cold words over and over.\n\nTool.\n\nWeapon.\n\nUseless.\n\n**Caits**\n\nConnor had no idea what had gone on in that place, but seeing Kijani like she was, it took all his will power to not turn around and tear the place apart. He would get Kijani to safety. That was all that matter right then.\n\nSo Connor took the quickest route back to the school, knowing it wouldn't take long to return.\n\nWhen they did arrive, Connor landed in the grounds, heading in the general direction of the dorms, thinking that after being in a place that smelt like the nurses office, Kijani wouldn't want to go there\n\n**Dizzy**\n\nKijani was mumbling the whole way, and slowly tears started to slide down her cheeks. Somewhere in her mind, the fact that she shouldn't show such weakness rolled through her head, combatted by the hope that maybe her tears would make Connor leave her faster. He liked her because she was cool and sophisticated, right? Seeing her weeping like a child would turn him off. \"Imsorry...\" A jumble of words slipped from her lips. \"Imsorryimsorry...\"\n\n**Caits**\n\nConnor had soon arrived to the girls dorms, heading to Kijani's door, and he had a brief flicker of memory of walking her to her room after the dance. He managed to get the door open without breaking it, and moved to put Kijani on her bed.\n\nHe tucked her into the bed, wanting her to get warm, and he hesitated, unsure of what to do now. \"You don't have to be sorry\" He said softly", "username": "MarshiestMallow", "char_name": "Phoebe" }, { "text": "Flood woke up after a surprisingly nightmare free nap.

He was frustrated at himself and his past and for his lack of control. Kaiden turned without a word from Kijani and the others and swiftly walked out of the door.

I was stupid. That's really all it comes down to. I was stupid, and I trusted Anthony more than I should have. I thought...\" Her gaze went soft, and confused. \"I thought he actually considered me an ally.\" She scoffed, and shook her head. \"But again, my mistake. I've got as much use to him as a dull sword. Anyway... to the facts. I was working with Anthony because he found out some information on something that happened to me when I was a child. I'll get to that story later. The only way I could get the info I wanted was to help him. So I did. Along the way, I guess I forgot rule number one: Trust no one.\" She laughed, but it was an empty, bitter noise. \"He didn't, of course, and betrayed me just when I thought I was going to get what I wanted.

If Anthony had been there, Connor doubted he would have been able to control himself.\n\n\"You could have asked me. I could have helped.\" He sighed \"what happened when you were a child?

You're... too hero for that. I didn't want to put you in an awkward moral position, so I went to someone who didn't have any morals.\" She picked idly at the grass, going silent for several moments before she started to talk again.\n\n\"I was left alone a lot as a child. My parents... well, they conceived me, birthed me, and... well, that was more or less the extent of their major involvement. My powers showed up when I was young, but they told me to hide them. So I did, when I was in the house.\" She shook her head a bit. \"I'm rambling. Facts, Kijani...\" Pushing back her hair, she started up again. \"I was eleven. I was in the park, alone, practicing my powers with a school notebook. Some people in white uniforms snatched me and threw me in a van. They drugged me. I...\" Her voice choked up, and she clenched her jaw before moving forward. \"I woke up on a lab table. They... they experimented on me. There were others. Younger mostly, none older than 13. Every single one of us had powers. The people who took us were called Alpha. They were trying to brainwash us. Turn us into an army.\" Her voice was becoming more and more hollow with each sentence. \"They did... horrible things. Eventually my powers receded, and they decided to dispose of me.\" Her side was starting to burn like the scar was a fresh wound, and she flinched, pressing her hand against it. \"They tried to kill me. I resisted. I ran. I made my way home, alone. Rule number two learned: You can only depend on yourself.\" Her hands were shaking.\n\n\"My parents didn't want to hear it. They told me to keep my story to myself. I... I retreated into myself. When I was fourteen, I took my parents to court and sued for my emancipation. I won... but then, they didn't exactly fight to keep me, did they. Waller took me in not long after I left my parents for good. She showed such interest in me, she said I was capable of great things. Said that she would be a child that she could be proud of. She taught me, trained me...\" She jerked forward a bit, her grandmother's words bouncing around harshly in her mind.\n\n\"It was all lies, Connor. All of it. My parents never wanted me, my grandmother only saw me as a weapon, Anthony never gave a shit, and...\" Her head picked up, and she looked him in the eyes. Her eyes, which were usually so full of energy, or pride, or anger, were brimming with tears. \"And you keep saying you care, that you don't want anything of me. That you won't leave. You're a scientist, Connor.

He supposed he would never know. He looked down at his hands as there was silence. His hands didn't feel clean. He would have done whatever he could, to have rescued her.\n\nAs she started to speak, he listened, looking up. He took it all in, not interrupting. Letting her talk, letting her just speak. Right up until the end. \"I'm not a scientist. I like science. But its not who I am. If all the data is piling up against you, you need to ask yourself this. Why am I still here? Why would I have bothered to break into a high security facility to save you, if you meant nothing to me? Facts are facts, but facts can be completely emotionless, and not worth the time. If we went with the facts, the science of it all, no one would have powers=it just wouldn't be possible. We wouldn't be here, and chances are we'd just be a couple of normal teenagers complaining about math, or wondering whose party to go to, or whatever normal teenagers do, and reading about super heroes and villains in comic books-well, I would at least\"\n\nAlthough Connor doubted, greatly, that he would have ever just been a normal teenager. \"the only facts I care about right now are these: I'm not going to bail. I'm not going to betray you. I'm not here to take advantage of you, and use you. I'm not doing this for any ulterior motive. I care about you. You can trust me. You can depend on me. I've never given anyone, any reason to not believe they can, or that I\"m going to betray them\" He frowned \"Actually, maybe Anthony, but that's Anthony\"\n\nHe didn't look away, he made no move to even move, not yet. \"You say I'm too hero. That I wouldn't be willing to get my hands dirty, and perhaps, before coming here, before meeting everyone, before this, us, I wouldn't have been willing to. Now...well, now things are different. So you can pull up your shields, hold me at arms length, continue to expect that I'll be like everyone else in your life so far, and don't give a damn, use you, betray you, not be there when you need someone-like now, but Kijani, I'll be there. Just there, chipping away at the shields, the distance, offering small bits of reassurance, until you believe I mean what I say.*I care about you, and its your own fault*. You just don't see it. You don't see your value, because of your parents, your grandmother and whoever else. But I do.\"\n\nAnd finally, he couldn't take it anymore, couldn't stand it anymore. \"Please don't cry.
