- Yet another year of this dreaded place. Why her father had sent her here year in and out was beyond her belief. Surely he was aware that she was far advanced past the things they taught in this place. Her intelligence felt stunted in this place and even she was suffering, yet she did not complain. Her father always had his reasons for these things. Something about needing to learn to fight for herself. After all these years he had refused to let her get into his work, she didn't understand why now he felt it was necessary for her to learn everything or she should say three years ago when he put her in this place. She was still trying to figure it all out. Did he intend to have her inherit Stark Industries and wanted her to be able to protect herself when she did? It seemed like a practical assumption. Besides, there wasn't much other reason for her father to want her to train in her early teens except that by then she had figured out how to build her own "Iron Man" suit simply from studying the way her father had worked. He had even praised her for being quite advanced in engineering. Why he wouldn't send her to some place to hone those skills was baffling. Even though she never understood it though, Tina didn't mind St Richards all too much. Most days she felt at the top of the hierarchy within the place. Maybe that was her ego just getting to her, but she didn't care. What truly was great about this place though was being able to show up in style. At any other school she wouldn't be able to fly in like she could here.
Her father hated that she ever came up with the idea to use her suit to get to and from school, but nonetheless he had allowed it to happen and even had built the same system that dismantled his suit at Stark tower on the roof of the school to allow her to do as she pleased. The benefits of a rich parent. Tossing the bag down as she landed in her usual spot, her suit began to be pulled from her body before it was gone to reveal the girl that was hidden inside. Grabbing her bag once again, she made her way over to the stairs leading inside from the roof. Disappearing down them, Tina wondered who might already be there. Might her closest friend have arrived? Smiling at the thought, the redhead entered the main hall and looked around hoping to spot a familiar face.

- Earth was still rather strange to Rh'nalche. Each time she came back everything seemed to have changed from the last time she had visited. Now was no exception. Time seemed to move so quickly whereas back on her home planet nothing ever seemed to change. It made her prefer Earth to some extent. Maybe it was because it had been the one she had been born on before her mother returned home with her to show those of Tamaran, their new princess. She knew she would never be fully accepted by the Tamaranean though. Her mother never told her, but she was almost certain she was only half Tamaranean, leaving her other half to be human. That would explain why her skin wasn't as vibrant as her mother's. Sure her skin still had an orange tint to it, but by no means was it an exact copy of her mother's. That alone made her believe she might have human blood in her. Maybe that was why she felt more comfortable among the humans of Earth and at this school each year she returned. The other powered children were more welcoming than her own people. It put her at peace.
Allowing a smile to cross her lips at the thought of it, Rachel, as she was to be called on Earth, began to make her way up the steps leading into the school. Excitement seemed to fill her with each step she took. She couldn't wait to catch up with those she had been with last year and to meet those that might be new to the school. Honestly, she wasn't sure what excited her most. Some would say it was odd that she was even excited to be at school, but compared to her dull life back in Tamaran, this was far more thrilling.

- One more year. That was all that went through his head on his way to St Richards. It had been his own decision to come to this place, but part of him couldn't help but feel his mother would have probably sent him here if he were still in contact with her. He was sure by now she was aware that he was here. Certainly someone would have told her. Maybe she was proud or maybe she wasn't. He really didn't care. Sure it was disheartening to see some of the other students being dropped off by their parents, but he would live. It had been years since he had seen his mother anyways. Maybe him abandoning his family was the real reason he was a bit of a loner in this place though. He never wanted to get close to others in case he lost them or had to push them away as well. Then again, he almost always had his nose stuck in a book. It was odd that he didn't at the moment. His mind was elsewhere anyways and it showed in the distant look in his eyes. Letting a soft sigh escape his lips, Max made his way into the school that he had been too so many times before. He knew this place like the back of his hand by now, especially with how many late hours he had spent in the labs building new devices to try and help him hone his venom blasts. None had been successful yet, but he was determined to find a solution soon.
Lifting his gaze from the floor, the blonde's eyes flickered around the hall as he passed by the cafeteria. Coming to a stop for a moment, he glanced up at the clock overhead realizing he had more time than he thought. It wouldn't hurt to take a seat for awhile. Maybe it would be some good reading time. Making his way into the cafe, he tossed his bag down onto one of the tables and sank down into one of the seats in the corner. He couldn't make himself look anymore like a loner than he was now.

- Finally, his sister was off his back and he was alone. It had taken some real effort to lose the oh so overbearing sister he had, but he had managed to do it. For once he was thankful of the sheer size of the school. Hopefully that would buy him some time to relax and not worry about Iris returning to his side. Sometimes he wished he didn't go to the same school as she did. She was always nagging him he had to train harder and had to be the hero their parents would want him to be. It only drove him beyond crazy. With each lecture she gave, she sounded more and more like their parents had before they put him in this place or at least she sounded like their mother. All he wanted was to live a normal life so to say. He hadn't asked to be gifted or to be thrown in this school, yet here he was training as a hero-to-be. It was exactly what he didn't want. Sure he had been born in space and grew up around a talking tree-man and raccoon, but did that mean he couldn't fit in among the people here or even somewhere else? Apparently not otherwise he wouldn't be stuck in this dreadful place. Rubbing his temples as he rounded the corner to enter the main hall, Ondrej kept his eyes peeled for his sister as well as though he might know. That was the only good thing that had come out of this place. The other students were interesting and he rather enjoyed their company, especially those that came from far off places like himself.
That was truly what he wanted to do; travel and hear the stories of those across the galaxy, not be stuck trying to save it. Maybe he was just selfish or maybe he was scared to put his own life on the line. He wasn't even sure. A frown crossed his lips at the thought of it. Rounding another corner to enter a side hall, the teen leaned against the wall until he began to sink down. It was obvious that he felt conflicted at the moment.

- Again her brother had managed to slip away. She would never understand why he ran off like he did. Maybe he was running away from his destiny to become a hero. It was an upsetting thought to her, but she never let it phase her. She knew it was her duty to make her parents proud as the older sibling. Besides, she rather enjoyed her time training on Earth, though it was far different than the training she had gotten in space from parents and even Rocket. She had even trained a little bit with the likes of Groot, though there hadn't been much to learn from the way he fought. It was more so a way to make herself smile since the tree-man always seemed to do that to her. As the thoughts of home drifted out of her mind, Iris found herself standing in front of the building, looking up at the entrance. She figured Ondrej had already vanished inside to hide from her. That was fine. She had other things she could do anyways. There were many people she'd love to catch up with since her last visit to Earth the previous school year. She knew most stayed on Earth even during their off time, but she always returned to her parents to show how much more improved she was and that typically meant dragging Ondrej home with her. For now she would leave him to do what he pleased.
Making her way up the steps, she looked around with a hint of interest in her eye. Who to talk to first? There were many faces she recognized from her previous years, but she wasn't sure who to go to first. Though she had attended St Richards for the last three years and was entering her fourth, she wasn't extremely close to many. She talked to most, but making friends was always something her brother had been better at. The whole friendliness thing came hard to her.
