New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

Clover cocks her head to the side and looks at John like he said something weird. "I'm pretty for a girl? Are girls not normally pretty to you? Get on more with the fellas then?" Clover asks curiously, misunderstanding the comment, her voice was quite soft as she spoke, and reassuring as if to say she made no judgements on it.

"Thank you for the compliment, most guys are more into my sister though, most of the time I'm just one of the guys who happens to fill out a shirt a bit more."

"Think he meant you were tall for a girl Clover." The six foot Trilly says from where she's leaning against a nearby wall. "Or he's just got a little bit of a verbal stumble trying to talk to you. Stunned by your grace and glamour of course."

"I'd say she doesn't know any better but...Raph, you should know better!" Cody says sternly, angry but doing a very good job at keeping it in check, "I'm really, really sorry. She doesn't look it but she's really strong, she probably didn't rip it out so much as it...gave way..." Cody tries to believe the sound of his own voice, but he can’t quite do it, "…Um, how expensive was it exactly? he finishes, trying to remember how much of his father's check he had left in his bank account.

"Raph, time out for at least 10 minutes." Cody says, gently taking the microscope away from her. He closes his eyes for a second, concentrates, and dismisses her.

"What, wait, no..." Raph manages to say before blinking away.

"That wasn't a student?" Dr. Stockov surmises, watching Raph disappear.

"Hmmm. Well don't worry about it, Cody," Prof. Lankowski tells the worried teen. "This institute teaches students to control some sometimes destructive abilities. There are provisions set for problems far worse than this. Besides, it won't be terribly hard to fix."

"What a fascinating ability," the doctor adds. "Is she a mental construct? Do you bring her to you from somewhere else? Create her from nothing?"

"Always prepared!" he smirked and his shadow swallowed him. Jerry reappeared five feet in the air above the deep end and plunged in with a massive splash.

James watches as Jerry cannonballs into the pool. "Alrighty, then." He considers going to try and find a swimsuit for himself, but, being a teenage boy, quickly realizes that he might miss Kiyana getting back out of the pool...after which he considers being chivalrous and finding a towel for her. He looks around, no towels. Then he sits down on a nearby chair, quite confused by the argument between his brain and hormones.

Kiyana is quite hard to make out in the water, aside from the splashes and current she generates, as her form is nothing close to humanoid at the moment. She does have a bit of fun, spinning circles around Jerry and leaping up as a long flowing arch of water before splashing back down again.

Kiyana is quite hard to make out in the water, aside from the splashes and current she generates, as her form is nothing close to humanoid at the moment. She does have a bit of fun, spinning circles around Jerry and leaping up as a long flowing arch of water before splashing back down again.

Jerry does his best not to get in Kiyana's way, but slashes back playfully and tries to keep up. This is so much better than being dry.

Cody breathes a sigh of relief, tucking away a few choice words he had for Raph back to the recesses of his brain. Kind of a double standard he thinks, but he isn't an angel so he could use them.

"Actually, the questions you're asking are the same ones that I want answers to...I was hoping the institute would help me figure it out. I call her name and she comes and I can will her away but I don't know where she goes to or comes from. I don't have any special control over her and as far as I know, Raph is definitely her own person...well, actually I think she's an honest-to-God angel, and I consider myself an atheist." he says by way of explanation.

"Big and strong," Stacy notes, nodding approvingly at John. "And no, it was an accident, but I was so totally bummed for a while, I hurt my best friend pretty bad. She's okay now, though. Huh, I really kinda doubt there's gonna be any, y'know, organized sports here. So much for my cheerleading skills," she notes with a shrug.

"With only thirty of us, I don't see much chance either but you could always go into gymnastics, I reckon that is pretty close to cheerleading." He replies trying to cheer her up a little. "My highschool from home has more students then this, didn't think that was possible."

Clover cocks her head to the side and looks at John like he said something weird. "I'm pretty for a girl? Are girls not normally pretty to you? Get on more with the fellas then?" Clover asks curiously, misunderstanding the comment, her voice was quite soft as she spoke, and reassuring as if to say she made no judgements on it.

"Get on with the fellas?" John repeated the words back to Clover. "What? Ah, no Ms. Clover, I ain't one of them homosexuals. Its just that most of the girls here are right prettier then the girls back home, not that they weren't pretty back home, just not as pretty.... Shoot, I'm not sure what I mean any more." John replies taking off his cowboy hat and running his hands through his hair in frustration

"Think he meant you were tall for a girl Clover." The six foot Trilly says from where she's leaning against a nearby wall. "Or he's just got a little bit of a verbal stumble trying to talk to you. Stunned by your grace and glamour of course."

"Thank you Ms. Trilly. Yes, both you and Ms. Clover are tall for a girl and right pretty to boot."

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Trilly chuckles at the tall boy's speech, quietly though as to not to offend him. Clearly he was even more small town than she was. And without the proximity of places like Fayetteville to open his eyes a little. That and his comment about homosexuals. She figured that it might be best to keep quiet about things around him.

"No need to lay it on so thick, I'm sure that her ladyship will charmed without going all country boy on her."

Jerry does his best not to get in Kiyana's way, but slashes back playfully and tries to keep up. This is so much better than being dry.

As Kiyana and Jerry enjoy the pool, James watches on, considering joining in, when the door opens. "Amy, lights please." The overhead lights turn on as a man in his early thirties enters the pool area. He has dark, short-cropped hair, olive-toned complexion and wears a jacket with the school insignia. "Gentlemen," he says, nodding to James and looking out at Jerry in the pool.

"Oh, uh, hello..." James says to the man.

"Kincaid. David Kincaid, I run security for the institute. Physical education instructor, as well. Enjoying yourselves?" he asks.

"Um..." James gulps. Aside from Jerry's movements, the water is dead still.

Dr. Stockov raises an eyebrow. "Interesting theory..." she says, unconvincingly. "I'm sure you'll learn much here about your abilities, but she seemed to possess enough intelligence that perhaps you might be able to just ask her?"

"It is truly an honor to meet you, Dr. Stockov," Manjit finally says, though nervously. "I am much more excited to be here now that I know the level of technology available to us."

"You weren't looking forward to coming here before?" Lankowski asks.

"Um...well...truthfully, no, not really," she admits, staring at her feet.

"Kincaid. David Kincaid, I run security for the institute. Physical education instructor, as well. Enjoying yourselves?" he asks.

Jerry treaded water about halfway across the pool, "G'day. Just making sure the water works."
