MutantHigh Episode2: Russians and Fishmen?!

"That'd be great, assuming we survive that long," answers Eris as she eyes some of the other walking into the classroom, "Maybe you could like, show me how to drive that cycle after school too, not having a license when your 16 can be a bumer, especially when everything is as far away from the institute." she winks at him, "or I could just convince someone to chauffer me around." she says the last a little bit louder, then it needs to actually be said, for those trying to eavesdrop.

"Yeah, I could show you how to ride the bike," Joey replies, not really caring who is listening, "shouldn't be hard. A car is easier, but a bike should not be hard."

Just at that moment a hand lands on Michael's shoulder. It is a girl and she sounds rather friendly and amused.
"Hey cowboy don't just stare there like your in a pool with piranhans. This is high shool so it's far worse than that. Besides your kinda blocking my locker."

"Oh, ah, excuse me."

|Moves out of the way of her locker.

"And, be more careful next time. I really don't like being touched. All right? And my name's Michael."
 

"Thanks, for teaching me, both I mean. I really would like you to teach me to drive a bike first, it just seems like it would be more me than one of the Institutes cars. Then Dr. Luca can just give me a license." Eris says in a more normal voice. She leans back in the chair, slipping her boots up onto the back of the chair in front of her as she waits for the teacher to begin the lesson.

"Yeah write a book about it."
She wriggles past you, it looks like she didn't even listen to what you said.
 

The lessons are as boring as they are everywhere else, but at least they aren't worse. No one is asked about any strange appearance since the teachers know that some of their students are mutants and do not want to out anyone. The only real shok comes in Clair's biology lesson there the teacher Senior Estevez explains a few basics about the delta factor.
"And this little changed sequence here is what fifts so many of each new generation with those fabulous powers. Since the number of mutants rises with each year we can now make the reasonable asumption that this is not an isolated phenomenon but the future of mankind."
Compared to the "delta menace" that was hammered into each of your heads at home that sounds like a voice from another planet.
 

Well, that went well.

He thinks looking for his locker number in something of a mad rush.

And where do I get the books for my classes?


And as he looks down the hall it seems that the hall stretches into infinity, as though he was in some sort of bad dream. All the people seemed to move in slow motion, and he half-way expected Gary and his cronies to burst out of the woodwork soon.

Aw dang! There's only one thing to do. Take a deep breath and head on into what could be the very pit of hell itself.

Oh don't over dramatize things. Living in a small town you're just not used to the rush of a large place. That's all. Just remember, you're never alone. He'll be walking right beside you.


So taking a deep breath he sets on down the hall to find his future.
 

In Clair's biology class, Michael raises his hand to ask this question:

"And how do you explain how there are some mutants who can't turn off their powers, making them very dangerous to anyone near them. Is there a way to reverse this?"


Evolution shmevolution. This guy's probably blowing it out his ass. It never ceases to amaze me that some just can't accept that the world was created. They just can't see it their own eyes. But maybe he might have some answers that would help me with my powers. If I can somehow manage to bring my toxin under control to where it won't be of danger to anyone unless I want it to be, like my ability to corrode nearly anythin, then maybe just maybe I'll be able to have something of a normal life anyway.

After class, in the midst of lunch time, Joey has his pack over his shoulder, he glances to Eris beside him, "I don't think I will be making it back for the rest of my schedule," which he tosses in the trash.

Like I need a school to teach me anything, useful, he glances to his bike, "Want to start your lessons early?" Joey stands at the entrance to the school overlooking the parking lot.

Chances are, she will say no, oh well, can teach her later, Joey glances back in side, and places his shades back on.
 


"So thats it? Your just gonna drop out and not go to classes on the first day?" she asks, surpised by his announcement, to say the least. Eris had skipped school plenty of times, it came with her animal nature, hating being cooped up for much more than an hour or two, but she had never done it on the first day. Proffessor Luca and Dr. Gert wanted her to be there, so she would at least make the attempt, they were going out of their way to help her, they'd get into a lot of trouble if she was found out. I don't want them to not trust me, especially since Patriot told them to. she thought to herself.

"Can't you just stick around for the rest of the day to keep me company? Or at least make the masses dessist in their attempts?" she asked him, putting her charms to the test, as another student, a girl this time, stammered out a request for a date. The girl was sorta nerdy and it impressed Eris that she had the gots to ask in public, but she wasn't Eris's type at all. Too brainy, not athletic enough, the girl would look at home in a science lab. In fact thats where Eris had first noticed the girls stares. She idly wondered if the girl had already known she was a lesbian, or at the least Bi, before she had asked.

She didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea about her, so she declined, gently, leaving the girl some room for hope, if she were persistant, and willing to put up with her antics. She dismissed the girl, Tessa, with a smile and sent her scurying away confused, yet happy.
