Karen, Cassie, and Ryan
The two elites watch Kelly go, and then turn to Karen. Kal thinks to Aris, “Something bad did happen, I just don’t know what. I wish the rest of the team was here, we could really use Omni’s brilliance right about now. With Genocide and Red Witch running around on this world, something big, and very bad is bound to happen.”
Aris wrinkles her nose at the thought and speaks to Karen, “Well, umm Ruby,” she pauses not sure what to say, “Are you an alien or an elite?”
Kal sighs, “I thought we were trying to fit in?”, he places a hand on Karen’s shoulder, “Stop messing around Aris, hey since we are all new here lets find some of the local students, and see what it is that people do.”
Spotting Cassie and Ryan as they walk and talk he gestures to them, “Now we got ourselves a glowing... hey that kid looks familiar? Or did I take too many blows to the head?” he thinks to Aris.
Aris furrows her brow, thinking back “He does look somewhat familiar, I mean, well…” Aris waves to Ryan and Cassie, “Uhh hey guys, hi we are new here,” she gestures to Karen and Kal, “we were kind of wondering where everyone was at?”
Charlotte
Arafina shrugs, “I am no pessimist, and it isn’t like it is really my money, I just like spending my father’s money, cause well it is about all I get to see of him. So if I can’t have a relationship with dad, I can have one with his money.”
Arafina shrugs, “If you don’t want it, don’t get it, you want some help with getting it, then lets go for it.”
Mark and James
Kiyana looks up to Mark, leaning against James, with tear filled eyes, the screen now just showing, a studio and a correspondent talking about the devastation in Mexico City. The death toll already passing 24 million…
Kelly
Charles sighs, as he guides Kelly to her room, “Well check it out, it isn’t like your room back home, but this is what the Institute has for you. Not exactly Kelly Mitchell quality, but I think you can bear it out for the time being. I am not sure where the faculty is right now, I guess they are in a meeting.”
Charles shows Kelly in, and flips on the news on the Virtua Net, bringing up the current news for Mexico City, though they don’t show any footage, as the UN has demanded that all footage be kept off the networks until further notice.
Charles frowns, “What in the hell is going on?”
