New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

Nick slides from his current position to the table with Manjit, Emmet, and crew. He comes to rest sitting in an open spot next to Jerry. The air ripples slightly from his bending of time and space. Nick flashes his killer smile catching the last bit about seeing the town, “Hell yeah, going out on the town… I can get behind that. Name’s Nick I would hate to invite myself, but I am not passing up a chance to see what this city has to offer.”

"G'day Nick, I'm Jerry," Jerry smiled right back. "So far as I'm concerned you're welcome to join us. Might as well get to know everybody."

Trilly quickly showers up, cleaning off herself and then her suit. After dousing the suit and squeezing it mostly dry she hangs it up to dry on her closet door. It wasn't going to wrinkle so she could just let it air out before putting it back into the gym bag.

She pulled on a pair of jeans and another wolfpack t-shirt and heads down to the lobby to wait for Clover. She smiled as she replayed the normally steady englishwoman getting all 'uptight and bothered'. Definitely a pretty picture, to see a girl like Clover all agog.
 

"G'day Nick, I'm Jerry," Jerry smiled right back. "So far as I'm concerned you're welcome to join us. Might as well get to know everybody."
Nick grins, “Damn right Jerry.” He puts a firm hand on his shoulder and points back at his table, “That is Yoshi, and the cutie pie is Layla, they will be joining us downtown tonight unless they punk out; in which case you will just have to settle for my company.”

“Nice accent by the way, what is that British… Australian? I spent a few months in new Zealand when I was like twelve; we stopped in Australia on our way home, swung through Sydney… it was cool, I think,” Nick shrugs.

“I was born in the United States, but my family traveled quite a bit, so I have gotten some exposure to more then most I guess. Sadly the only language I learned was English; so forgive my American-centric ways; I am terrible when it comes to trying to learn another language. So what are you guys in for?” Nick finals asks.

Heh I ran off at the mouth there… I do enjoy hearing myself talk though, Nick thinks. He winks at Raph, “Hello I don’t believe we’ve met, you would be?”
 

“Nice accent by the way, what is that British… Australian? I spent a few months in new Zealand when I was like twelve; we stopped in Australia on our way home, swung through Sydney… it was cool, I think,” Nick shrugs.

"Sydney born and raised," Jerry answered. "On the beach, mostly."

So what are you guys in for?”[/b] Nick finals asks.

"Teleporting, moving things with shadows, and ruining my school clothes," Jerry smiled.
 

Cafeteria:

Layla messages back to Nick, "Yeah, sure...Yoshi's definitely up for it."

Manjit silently watches the newcomer work the table. She smiles at his forwardness. Raph looks up from her plate, some spaghetti hanging from her mouth. She slurps it up. "Hey Nick, I'm Raph. Pleased to meetcha!"

Layla notices John enter the cafeteria. She sighs, bites her lip, gets up and walks over to his table. "Hi. Do you mind if I sit down?" she asks him.
 

Nick replies surprised, “Oh wow, kick ass man… small world even. So you can teleport and do stuff with shadows? I won’t even pretend to understand what that even means, but it sounds sick as hell. I can’t really teleport… I sort of like bend space, make two points the same thing… or some crap. I just call it Gravity Control and then let it go. That and I am ridiculously strong; my body has been described as a miniature black hole. At least that is what some egg head scientist told me.”

Nick thinks, Kick ass babe… kick ass. Nick speaks, “Yeah Layla and Nick are down.” He pauses and grins at Raph, “You going out with us tonight Raph? That goes for everyone, I mean I assume Jerry is going, if there is one thing I know about Aussies, they know how to party. My dad used to tell me stories of Aussie soldiers he used to work with… crazy ass guys, but really fun.”

He adds, “Don’t let me interrupt your meal though, spaghetti is serious business.”
 

"I don't know as I've ever had any good airline food. Cept for what I brought with me cor. Then again, most of the flights have been quite short so thankfully I was spared too many indignities." Clovr said with a shrug. She really wasn't all the fussed over food, she had an urchin's palate, her grahms had said. Rather eat a burger and chips in an arcade with her mates than a 40 pound steak in one of the nicest resturants in the country.

"Feel free to speak french with me whenever you like, its quite a beautiful language. I must say your English is better than mine, mine's so full a slang, trying to have a conversation with some of the yanks was a complete balls up. I do believe one of the boys would've punched me if I were a guy...I misunderstood something he said to mean that he was gay, and it went completely to pot."

When Josee mentions her hair and the broken hair dryer, Clover grins at the joke. "Its not all bad I don't think, if you like I could try to blow it dry. My powers let me control the wind, and they keep my hair nice without a need to reach for a drier. Not sure how well I could do with someone ele's hair though." the red head offers.

"I love it. Never have to bend over to pick anything up," Jerry's eyes turned black and his shadow reached out to lift up his fork. "It's relaxing, even."

I can’t really teleport… I sort of like bend space, make two points the same thing… or some crap. I just call it Gravity Control and then let it go. That and I am ridiculously strong; my body has been described as a miniature black hole. At least that is what some egg head scientist told me.”[/B]

"That's a fair go of a power too. We're a pair! I've got some kind of shadow thing inside me instead of blood. Not a black hole but it comes out black enough. It floats on air too, which is what I think put the doc on the floor when he took some blood once. They think that's why I'm all white. But my clothes turn black or white and they didn't get that explained."

That goes for everyone, I mean I assume Jerry is going, if there is one thing I know about Aussies, they know how to party. My dad used to tell me stories of Aussie soldiers he used to work with… crazy ass guys, but really fun.”[/B]

"That's a stereotype I can live with!"
 

"Hey Nick, nice to meet you. My name is Emmet," he says, not bothering to even try to smile. He raises an eyebrow questioningly. "So your query is whether or not Raph and Jerry are heading into town tonight...seconds after you include yourself in a pre-existing plan to head into town, formulated by the very people you are asking?"

Emmet leans closer to Manjit and Cody, then jokes under his breath, "I wonder whether the scientist was describing his abilities or his mind." Infinitely dense.

"Thank you, but no, I think I it will be good enough," Josee replies, pulling a brush through the hair a few more times once her shoes are on. She grabs her purse and says, "Shall we?"
