"Sure thing, Mom," Cloud says. She clears the dining room table and sets it with the good china. When she finishes, she returns to the kitchen.
"Anything else you need done?" she asks.
If there are other chores, she'll do them. Otherwise, she will start poking around the internet for more information on the Academy and the area it's in.

"Uh...yeah."
'Maybe you should apologise for the threatening?'
For a moment, it seems James is about to say something else, but he changes his mind.
'No! I was just being careful, and I'd do the same thing if I had to do it over! Stop bothering me!'
'You realise you're having an argument with your own mind?'
'Oh...shut up.'
He reaches out and shakes Bell's hand warily, some of his previous paranoia returning.
'Oh, come on. What's he going to do, stab you with a poisoned ring? Get a grip, James.'
"Right. Be seeing you."
With that, James turned on his heel and left the room, heading for the elevator, and then, his home.

'Well, this doesn't seem too bad,' Marcus thought. 'Probably could use some backup, and maybe a keycard from the looks of things.'
Marcus concentrated for a momen to maintain his intangibility, then walked back through the steel door he had phased through before. On the other side, he materialized fully and said, "The immediate area on the other side is clear, there are doors with key card readers and monitors, no sign of any chaos."
He looked to Ms Steele to see if she was wearing a key card, then blushed slightly at the thought of checking her out - even if it was to look for a key card..

"That's so freakin' cool," Jonn said quietly to himself as Marcus walked through the metal blast door.
He turned to Shannon, who had pulled away from him. He had let her since he did not want her to feel forced. "We can use your key card to help whoever is inside, right?" The excitement was building. And the anticipation. Only a couple of seconds had passed but it felt like they were wasting so much time and needed to act now.

Tokyo, Japan
The news made it clear that the hijacked train was several miles south of the Tokyo station. It was in the middle of Tokyo, and the presence of evening traffick made it very difficult for police to set up a perimeter. The news helicopters were on scene, but they did not get close; it was very difficult to see what was going on inside the train.
It would take some searching, but Hoshiko would finally be able to find an empty locker to stow her belongings. The crowd’s attention seemed to be trained upon the televisions, so she had no problem slipping out through an emergency exit onto a quiet back street.

“No, honey. Just wash up for dinner in a few minutes. They should be home soon.” Mrs. Rice was preoccupied as she worked on icing a cake while warily watching her roat in the oven.
Hopping on the internet, Cloud would have no trouble finding the official website for Greenwood Academy. The information is essentially the same as what is listed in the brochure, and she would even recognize a few pictures that were the same. But there was other information too, such as maps of the area and of the grounds. There was also a brief history of the castle, and a listing of the faculty. There was no mention of a metahuman program on the website, though it did seem peculiar that there were more faculty than classes actually listed.

Mr. Bell would follow James to the door, hold it open for him, and shut it behind him with a cheerful farewell.
James is not antagonized as he leaves the building, though the security guards and the secretary watch him warily. However, as he walked the streets, he kept seeing an image out of the corner of his eye. It appeared to be that of a young girl, though every time he turned his head to look, she was gone.

“I guess. But you really shouldn’t go in there. I am sure they’ll be fine,” Shannon repeated herself. She is clearly quite upset at the prospect of anyone going into the labs, though she does not elaborate as to why. She clutched the key card in her hand, looking from Jonn to Marcus to Rich. It soon became clear that they would not be swayed, however, so she hastily pulled the keycard and identification badge up over her hand, handing it to Jonn. “Oh, all right, here. If you’re so bloody determined to get yourselves killed then who an I to stop you?” With that said, she spun on her heel and stormed down the stairs.

'Sounds like she's trying to make herself believe they'll be okay,' Marcus thought. Aloud, he looked to Jonn and Ric hand asked, "Don't suppose she had anything useful or helpful to say while I was in there?"

Cloud browses the school's website for a bit, then checks out some maps of the area. She scribbles a few notes on a piece of scratch paper - reference points for her to study later that should enable her to find the school from high altitude.
When she hears the front door open, she stuffs the notes in her pocket and turns off the computer. She washes her hands and then goes to see who her father brought home for dinner.

'Well, that went well, I...hey. What was that?'
James scanned the area using his enhanced range of vision, only to find the girl constantly seemed to be on the periphery of his sight.
'How is she doing that?'
James picks up his pace for a moment, looking for an alley to dodge into, where he can hopefully conceal himself and find out what the mysterious phenomena means. (Activate Super-Dexterity)
(OOC: I'm guessing even with All-Around Sight the girl still somehow manages to pop up in my peripheral vision. In which case, James will look for an alley and assuming he can find one, dodge into it, conceal himself, and wait. Hide +16)

Checking the street to make sure nobody was watching her, Hoshiko closes her eyes and calls on the power of the Black Star to fill her. She feels the rapid change take over, her body growing and filling with power. In mere moments, where Hoshiko stood is now the Black Star, standing seven inches taller and with a build far more voluptuous than her normal body. Catching her reflection in a puddle she saw her new form, black like the night sky with twinkling stars and sighed; she didn't even recognize herself.
Briefly lamenting that she would undoubtedly be on the evening news today, she rises into the sky and bursts towards downtown Tokyo and the hijacked trains, leaving a trail of blackness glittering with silver specks in her wake.
"I only hope I can help," she said aloud as she flew, her voice far stronger than her normal one.
