Katie made a face as she stared at the pill. "No liquid form, huh? Sure thing Morpheus, I'll follow the white rabbit."

Digging around in her bag, she pulled out a water bottle and swallowed the pill, flushing it generously. The whole feeling of a pill moving down her throat made her perky nose further scrunch in distaste.

I can still feel it! Wah, I hate taking medicine.

The three finally sit in the waiting plane. Even though it is first class it is nothing to the private jets Jack is used to. The flight is put on hold for nearly twenty minutes before the doors open again and security enters the plane. There are four guards with body armour and submachine guns who flank a young man. He is wearing red kevlar armour with a white star on its shoulder. The star itself is filled with a blue delta. The sign clearly mark him as a mutant from Delta Prime. Most people cast nervous glances from their seats towards him. The group walks through the whole length of the plane, and the mutants gaze wanders over the seat rows. He stops in front of Jack and Katie for a seemingly endless moment but finally he gives the guards a sign and they all leave. The passengers are deadly silent for a moment but slowly the conversations start again and the captain announces that they are clear to start.

"Like I wasn't uncomfortable enough in this seat, one of these government whores need to show up." Whispers Jack, not daring to use his telepathy this time.

Isla Verde:
The island of Isla Verde is a sparkling jewel of the Caribbean, just off the eastern coast of Costa Rica. It is formed in the shape of a giant crescent that is only 8 miles across from the top edge to the bottom. The crescent itself is only two miles thick at its widest point, tapering at either end to a sandy tip. The main settlement on the isle is a city of about 100.000 people right in the center of the crescent. The city is focused around the harbour on the inner edge of the crescent, although it stretches all the way across the island to the opposite shore. The island is protected from the ravages of the ocean by a barrier reef nestled under the waves of the place’s eastward side. The whole island is surrounded by beautiful coconut tree lined beaches.
The harbour is filled with all kinds of ships, from small fisherboats to luxury yachts. There are also some sea planes since the island is not big enough for a proper airport.
The travelling mutants land on the mainland and reach the isle by ferry. Joey and Clair are landed right on the island itself cause even though the jet they travel with is not capable of vertical takeoffs or landings, it can land just like the sea planes.

Haven:
The Haven Institute lies half a mile south to the city directly on the outer edge of the crescent. Its main building looks like a 6 stories high Aztec-style pyramid of glass and steel. To the north side it is still under construction and there are camps, vehicles and working areas of the construction teams scattered around that whole side. There is big sports area to the inland side, complete with two swimming pools, one a straight bath for training and the other a big egg shaped pool right beside the main building. To the seaside there are two boathouses and there are a small yacht and a fast looking motorboat docked there.

The stairs fold in immediatly after Clair and Joey sat down and with a soft hum from the engines the plane starts rolling towards the landingfield. Apart from the very silent engines and a few beeping and clicking sounds from the cockpit there is virtualy no noise in the jet. The voice speaks again.
"I would highly recomend the use of seatbelts during the start."

Joey straps himself in, and relaxes with a yawn, "Man I could so go for a smoothie, or maybe some tofu, man, I am so feeling the munchies right about now."

Clair nods, "Same here, maybe we can find some stuff when we get to the mainland, although I'm not a big fan of tofu myself."

"Wow, we got here kinda fast," Clair says as he unbuckles himself and grabs his backpack. He continues after hearing his stomach growl, "So, do you wanna see if we can find that food?"

The jet lands a bit away from the city and drives into the second boathouse of the institute once it is landed. The building hides a very modern hangar on the inside and the plane is pulled out of the water and rested on two metal beams by magenitic grapplers once it is inside. The stairs unfold again.

"Don't have to tell me twice."

Looking at the institute's logo.

"The Heaven Intitute? Isn't that kind of a corny name? How can parents afford such a place? Do we get some kind of an allowance? What kind of courses are taught here? Does this place have a gym? Or a church? How long has this school been here? Will we be able to contract our parents? Is that an authentic historic pyramid or one made just for the school?"

And a whole slew of other questions & thoughts rapidly fills his mind.

A step pyramid? A step pyramid? That's rather disconerting somehow. In South America, the step pyramids built by the Inca and Maya have often been associated with cult activities that often included ritual sacrifice to the deities that they worshipped. They would kill their rivals in these ceremonies, in an attempt to encourage the rain to keep their valley fresh and fertile.

And eventually the evil spirits they worshipped deserted them like they always do and the people left their cult centers to go back into the forest. Why? No one really knew but perhaps it was a way to get back to God.

Jono, slings his dufflebag over his sholder as he gets off the plane, and silently makes his way over to the school with the others.

A little more flashy then i expected, and hot, but at this point anythings better then bloody London.

"Could be worse. We could be in Iraq."
