team b ;; training room ;; w/ alexandra ;; meeting the new teammate

Colin hummed silently to himself as he made his way to his new team's training room. He had been interested to see that he had garnered such a high letter in the alphabet this year, last year had been J and the previous years had been mostly middle letters with on circuit in Team R. Not that the letters meant much in the long scheme of things only that the higher numbers typically started missions sooner. But since Colin wasn't all that interested in his graduation he didn't really care about mission time tables. He did however hope very much he got a decent team this year. Last year had been horrible beyond belief and he had finished the year battered and ready to throttle most of his teammates. They had dropped an entire Rank (from J to A) because the brats refused to work together. Colin had fumed about the annoyance the entire summer long. Not so much in the lost Rank (he really wasn't Rank obsessed like some students) but more in the fact that they had just been miserable people to essentially live with for a year. His parents had tried to cheer him up by doing the whole "Well son that's what life is like sometimes. You won't always like the people you work with, and yada yada" It hadn't been reassuring. But with any luck he could finish out the rest of his schooling without ever having to see any of those spoiled brats again. With that happy thought in mind he strained up as he saw the training room for Team B up ahead.

It was time for a new team and a new year so Colin put on his best smile and walked inside. It looked like there was another girl already there, one of his teammates. He couldn't guess which one as they were all girls this year but he figured it would at least make him an easy teammate to pick out being the only male. He took a moment to look at the other girl and was relieved to see she didn't have the impatient superior look that usually led no where pleasant or the borderline terrified look of a newbie. Although at Rank A she should at least have some level of comfort with the way things were but then again he wasn't one to talk. He'd been at the school for a grand total of four years and he still got a little weak knee'd on missions. Still might as well get the meet and greet over with so cleared his throat and gave a little wave. "Hey there. I'm Colin the lone boy of this particular bunch. I'm a bit of a veteran, been here four years all told, so if you have any questions or the like feel free to ask. What about you? How long have you been at this wacky establishment?"[/b] He asked with a cheeky smile

team a ;; training room ;; w/ no one ;;waiting on teammates

Jamie wandered into the Team A training room shortly after getting her new team assignment. She hadn't recognized any of the other names on her team roster so she was looking forward to meeting her teammates. As a returning student she had been a little more easy going than some of the obvious newbies at the orientation speech given by Headmistress Felix. You could always spot those students who were in their first year because they where the most terrified when the Headmistress went over the curriculum for the school and how everything was broken up. The returning students could sometimes look a little intimidated but most were smart enough to at least fake a look of calm or boredom. Jamie having been there for three years already hadn't much bothered with listening to the speech she had instead focused on pinning down some of her old allies and enemies. Like the rest of her team last year she had finally made it to Rank A, the second rank of the school. After three years that was kind of pathetic in a way but the fact was the first year had been mostly learning to control her powers, the second year had been a incompetent match up, and last year well last year had been the year she had finally had enough personal control and a good enough team to make it to the second rank. She was actually very proud of herself and when she had caught one of her old teammates from the last year across the auditorium she gave the boy a wave and a thumbs up. Hopefully this year she would be able to keep up the forward momentum with her new team and graduate to Rank J at the end of the year.

She was so lost in thought that she didn't even realize she was the first to have arrived in the training room at first. When she realized this she gave an internal shrug and looked around the room. Like all the school's training room this one was deceptive in it's design. It looked like a regular enough training room with a wooden floor and walls covered in mirrors but the training rooms where all reinforced to allow students to practice their powers without tearing up the room too badly. Oh sure there would still be some scorches on the wall and stuff but nothing near the destruction that would occur with regular buildings. Even the mirrors where a trick they actually reversed over to leave the walls covered in strong metal when the training room was locked. But since the metallic side was hidden now that the training room was open for students Jamie took the time to study her reflection and straighten her clothes. Her outfit for the day had been chosen with care and while it wasn't the most trendy outfit she owned it would suit for a nice show of her capabilities. The jean shirt piece combined with the white khaki's actually gave her the ability to literally blend into the background (a nice camouflage), The sandals let her sink into the floor. Lastly she was wearing an old gray camisole underneath that doubled as some surprisingly durable body armour.

With her outfit ready she settled back to wait on her teammates.

Alexandra~~~
Tempest~~~
Alexandra, having heard Colin walk into the room, wasn't exactly all that surprised when he walked over to talk to her; after all, if you're in a giant, empty room with just one other person, some small talk is bound to happen. Opening her eyes and turning her brilliant blue gaze to Colin, Alexandra did a quick assessment of him while he talked, mostly out of habit than anything. Inferring that he seemed like quite the social and carefree person, Alexandra inwardly laughed; they were exact opposites. However, conversation was conversation, and she was getting quite bored. However, it did seen like this guy, Colin, didn't exactly seem the type to take things seriously, whilst Alexandra almost always did. Almost cringing when Colin finished with a 'dazzling' little smile, Alexandra just smiled softly and spoke carefully, in a voice almost as soft as her expression and smile. "Oh! Uh... Hello there, Colin." Alexandra groped for something to say; being the complete loner that she was, conversations were just about foreign to her. "Well, I appreciate the offer, but I'm not a completely new person here; this would be my third year, in fact, so I doubt I will be needing that much help." pausing for a moment to soft through her information on him-which she got from the briefing- Alexandra continued, slightly hesitant. "I take it you're the one with... Visual power manipulation?" Shoving her hands into her pockets, a sure sign that she was getting uncomfortable, Alexandra gave up and let out along sigh, fluttering a small curtain of wavy black hair that had again fallen in front of her face. "Um... Sorry about this, I'm not exactly... Good with conversations... Or people, really. However!" Alexandra's voice brightened a tad bit, and once you got to know her well enough, you would understand hat it was quite a big change in mood for someone usually so mellow. "However. I think it would be a pleasure to work with you." Alexandra then offered one hand in a handshake. Now Alexandra needed all her willpower to stop cringing; why was she born so... So... Awkward!?

Vivian Doyle/Telepathic & Telekinetic/Team B





I walked into the training room for Team B. I looked around, it wasn't much different at all then the one for Team C last year. It was good to be moved up a rank because now I was with knew people. I scanned the room with my black eyes. Two people were already here. I didn't want to confront them because of what just happened. I ran into a group of students being stupid and turned into Violent almost destroying them. I really did feel terrible about it but I couldn't stop her, she was powerful, and she used her power out of anger and high emotions. I sighed and went to the other side of the room avoiding eye contact and any contact with the other two students in there. I didn't want to hurt them and they were my new teammates this year. I didn't want to start the year as a cold blood killer who almost killed off her whole team, even if I did though I could probably still win the challenges alone on team B. Then again maybe not, I still wasn't fully good on my telepath skills and that lead to huge headaches that burst through my head because I could hear everyone's thoughts. Sometimes that was good though, then I could hear what my teammates think of the freak in the room and by freak I mean me.

Zora:15:Female:Team B

Zora rushed through the halls. Even though she didn't have a watch, she felt like she was late. "Dang it!" She sifted through her pocket, looking for the note she had been given. She was new, and had no idea where she was going. When she pulled out her note, she threw it on the floor. Somehow her bad luck had managed to rip it into pieces. She took a deep breath of air, trying to calm herself down. She looked around, hoping there was a map or something. There were none. "Ok, that's not so bad..." She thought aloud. "Maybe if I keep walking I'll find it. Group B..." She started walking through the halls, and it took her a moment to realize that she was going in circles. Now she knew she was late. She started running, and finally found a door labeled 'Team B'

She dashed through the door, panting. She was exhausted from running around, and since she was carrying a dusty blue backpack with her chain weapon in it, she was tired from that as well. She plopped the backpack on the floor and waved to the people already in the room. "Hi! I'm late, aren't I?" She asked, than sat down in a chair.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dimentio:15:Male:Team A

Dimentio was walking calmly through the halls. He was in no rush. It didn't matter to him whether he got there on time or not. He shoved his hands in his pockets, his cape whisking around. He pulled out a bouncy ball, one he had stolen from a kid awhile back, and started bouncing it while walking down the hall. He looked bored, because, well, he was. Eventually, he found the door to Team A. "Doesn't look to boring." He said, then opened the door.

When he walked in, the first thing he noticed was the occupant. She seemed to be the only one there. Picking up his 'fake manners' that he used in front of girls, he bowed. "Good morning young lady." He stood up again, grinning. "Nice to meet you for the first time." His voice was like honey, golden and sweet, but smooth like oil. "What is your name?" He asked, sitting down.

team b ;; training room ;; w/ alexandra, zora, victoria ;; meeting the new teammate

Colin kept up his friendly smile as the new girl seemed to stumble through some small talk. She too was a bit of a veteran which was nice although it rather limited the conversation starters later on down the road. Especially since this particular teammate didn't seem much for the small talk. Not that Colin himself minded, he was fine carrying most conversations largely by himself. You couldn't grow up in his household and not have a healthy respect for the gift of gab. Plus he would take awkward over snotty any day. Awkward at least could be worked with. As long as the other girl pulled her weight on missions Colin was fine with her going functionally mute for the entire year. (well okay that would probably actually bother him but only because he was kind of talkative and after awhile talking to yourself got boring.) But his first team had contained a sweetheart of a girl that hardly said twenty words the whole year but had been a total workhorse when it came to missions. Colin had be exceedingly found of her and did his best to give her a little wave whenever he glimpsed her in passing. Back to his current teammate she seemed a little embarrassed about her less than graceful conversation but Colin had been completely untroubled she also asked after his powers which was a pretty common question. They were pretty rare even if they were also kind of self-explanatory. (he had learned since coming here that power replication was not a common ability at all, rather like magic.) "Yeah that will be me! So don't be shocked if somewhere down the road I start mimicking your powers yeah? Not to mention our opponents, that's always a fun reveal the first time it happens. Takes a way a bit from the nail-bitingness of some of the missions. I'll be honest if my parents hadn't insisted this place was top of the class in mutant training schools I would have left after the first year. Seems a little too much like they're trying to off us at times. But I am learning loads and I'm not sitting through too many boring lectures so I guess it evens out. So which power are you then? This your first time in Rank A? " He asked keeping his tone upbeat and trying to include her in a conversation.

He caught sight of another wallflower entering and gave a bit of a internal chuckle. Looks like he was going to be the chatty clown again this year. It was better than being a verbal punching bag after all and it meant Colin got the chance to bring some people out of their shells. The new girl was another raven haired type and seemed to be content to fade into the background. Still Colin walked up to her with his best friendly smile and introduced himself, "Hello there! Good to meet a second teammate. As I'm sure you can tell I'm Colin and I'm the Replicator of the group. I've been here four years and I'd be happy to help if you have any questions on the way things work. I was just getting to know, oh dear I didn't catch your name did I? Well I was getting to know our other teammate over there. So what about you what's your name and talent? This your first time in Rank A?" He asked giving the other girl a sheepish look when he realized he didn't know her name either. But as he looked around he realized he was with a majority of his team, only the last girl was left to join them. He just hoped he got a slightly more talkative girl or he was going to have to hope the girls got more talkative on missions. Otherwise he was going to be stuck strategizing and he hated that, he was more a helpful giver of knowledge than a team leader. Not that there were team leaders in a regimented sense but you put a group of kids together and provided they actually did the teamwork portion of the requirements one person did tend to start running things a bit after all. Of course the only problem with that was when you got a whole lot of ego crammed into a small group, that was probably almost as bad if not worse than silence. At least with silence he could make suggestions and hope they were carried out (it would at least get them some grade in teamwork versus the arguing or lone rangering getting them big fat zeroes). At least the other veteran would recognize that particular aspect though, that teamwork was important. It tended to take some of the newer kids longer to understand. Many seemed to think that it was just completing missions throughout the year. But Colin knew from experience that teamwork played a heavy part in both successful completion of missions but also in going up Ranks. Last years team had still been at least good enough to manage to keep their Rank based on successful missions but they had still been dropped down because their adviser had said they had completely lacked a team dynamic. She had nearly dropped them straight back to Rank N (which would have made Colin cry and then probably throttle his teammates for real) but she had said since he at least had tried to bring about some teamwork they only got Rank A instead. But so far his new teammates at least seemed not outwardly hostile which was good enough for Colin to build from.

Then as if some higher power had heard his wish the final member of their team had arrived and she was noticeably more friendly than the other two. Colin beamed in delight oh thank goodness maybe he wouldn’t be stuck strategizing after all. If nothing else he’ll have someone to talk to throughout the year which was just as good. He waved at the other girl, “No worries there isn’t a real time limit, well I guess you have to be here before dinner but I don’t think our adviser docks points for lateness, just not showing up. I’m Colin by the way your friendly male of the group. I’m also the Replicator and I’ve been here for four years (er well this is my fourth year). So if you have any questions about the school or other powers feel free to ask. I’ve got a pretty good knowledge of both.” He said happily.

team a ;; training room ;; w/ no one ;;waiting on teammates

Jamie had finished straightening her clothes one final time and wondering if she should have brought some accessories with her. (they always got showy powers) But she was here already and it wouldn't do to start second guessing her wardrobe choice now. Besides she hated it when she did that, it made her seem like such a vain little cheerleader. It didn't usually help when she tried to explain her powers depended on what she wore, it usually only made her seem more vapid. She’d had quite a few teammates who had laughed in her face when they heard about her power. They kept laughing right up until she started shooting lazers out of her eyes or turning invisible or developed super hearing. Whatever the situation needed as long as she had dressed accordingly before leaving the dorm. Of course her powers weren't infallible, she had to be careful about the quality of the clothes she wore or else they would be torn and loose their powers. But well it still was a lot more badass of an ability than people gave her credit for having.

Her musing was cut short by the arrival of one of her two new male teammates. This one seemed to be a little charmer which amused Jamie. She was certainly smart enough to keep all relationships professional within the team but the thought that he introduced himself in such a polished way did give him points for amusement. “Hi! Aren't you just the little charmer? The name’s Jamie, and yes that’s a girl's name. I’m the fashionista of the group, clothes manipulation. What about you? What’s your name and power, there prince charming?” Jamie teased him playfully. She hoped the other boy was as fun as this one because that would make for a really entertaining year.

Vivian Doyle/Telepathic & Telekinetic/Team B





I looked at the boy named Colin as he ran around introducing himself to everyone, it was just plain weird. I went up to him. "If this is team A I should get going, I am on Team B." I told him. I said it confidently and proudly, I was a talkative person once you got to know me. I smiled at him and looked at all the other people he had tried to talk to. I admit this Colin boy was cute but no I couldn't like anyone, I had to keep isolated. It was only for the protection of others. I didn't want anyone to get hurt because I grew an emotional connection to them, Violent was brutal. I knew for a fact she would kill anyone no matter who they were or what their purpose was. I sighed and looked down at my black combat boots, Violent's sick choice. I might not be able to talk to her verbally but we had conversations and we had decided that our outfits would be more consistent of black, red, blue, hot pink, and maybe purple or green.

{ Sable Riordan,
Team A
Animal Morphing
17 years }

Sable was fiddling with a baseball cap as she walked down the hall, her feet echoed silently, rebounding against the walls until she turned a corner and saw the training room for Team A. The hat could be described as a 'deutsche' hat, it had the round shining sticker on the flap and the A's baseball team's logo on the front. Sable didn't like nor dislike it, she only kept it for a reason that reminded her of home in a way because her father always loved baseball..and hats. Sable stopped in front of the doors, it seemed like people were already there, she let out a determined breath, shifted her shoulders so her dark and loose t-shirt shifted and put on her cap. Sable held her head slightly higher before walking in as discreetly as possible, sure enough there was a boy and a girl there. Sable looked at them and the next second nodded her head in greeting.

team b ;; training room ;; w/ alexandra, zola, vivian ;; meeting the new teammates

Colin blinked when the second quite girl from earlier spoke up saying something about Team A versus B. Colin laughed and decided to run with it as he was a little unsure if she was joking or not. Still Colin loved a good theatrical moment so he pasted on a bright smile and overly dramatic expression and replied, "Team A, goodness me no. This here is Team B all the way! But I see what your trying to do, your trying to get new teammates aren't you? Wanting to have an all girl team then? Well sad to say your stuck with us all for the duration of the year. But no worries we'll all have a blast together I'm sure! So what's your name my dear? I'm Colin as you've no doubt heard."[/b] He said keeping a overly dramatic tone and a wide grin the entire time. He figured now was as a good a time as any to get the ladies used to his sense of humor. Colin being one of those people that believed if you can't find something to laugh about in life than what was the point in living? None of that somber or methodical business for him no sir.

Although perhaps going about like a scatterbrained twit wasn't the best first impression he could have made. No doubt his fellow teammates thought he was just a flighty little clown about now. Still he had always been the sort to try to include people and even if it made him look silly or flighty he had at least managed to greet all three of his teammates when they arrived (or well when he arrived in the first one's case). His mother had certainly raised him with manners and he liked to think he remembered them well. Besides with girls you couldn't play favorites or they would all turn moody and vicious on you. Especially in this type of close knit group scenario. He figured he was in for a whole year of girl talk and the like but it wouldn't be too horrible. As long as they didn't want his opinion on fashion or gods forbid one of them developed a crush. So far they seemed kind of neutral to him which was good. He was friendly though so he might just end up shooting himself in the foot by being too nice. But he'd end up crossing that bridge when he came to it. For now it was time to put some names and powers to faces.

team a ;; training room ;; w/ dimentio and sable ;; meeting her teammates

As Jamie waited for the little charmer to respond to her remark she saw another one of her teammates, Sable she thought her name was, enter the room. Being as the genders were equal in their particular team it made spotting her female teammate quite easy. She also looked at the girls outfit and nodded, not something she would wear for comfort but not bad either. She tended to wear loose clothes more for the powers they granted than for the comfort they gave. But then again when dressing was like putting an armory (or just plain armour) on she figured it paid to be particular. She gave the other girl a friendly smile, "Hey there, hun. I'm Jamie the other fabulous female on this team and if I remember right one of your roomies for the year. I was just introducing myself to the little charmer over here. But feel free to jump right in. This is a meet and greet after all." She said with a smile. It was a little odd to her to have to do this ever year especially as they would be spending literally a whole year with one another so it wasn't like they were going to be short on time to get to know one another. But then again being one of the higher lettered teams meant their missions would start soon so she guessed getting to know her teammates somewhat well fast was a good thing.

Although she was personally itching to show off a bit for her teammates. She loved that chance to watch a persons face when they started to realize that her "girly" power wasn't something to sneeze at. Sure Animal Morphing, Dimesnion Jumping, and Magic all sounded awesome but how cool did Clothing Generation really sound? It made it seem like she just made clothes appear out of thin air, which okay she really wanted to learn how to do that but that was besides the point. The point remainded that of all her teammates her power was the one that kind of seemed superfelous or stupid. She couldn't wait to prove to her new team that stupid name or not her power rocked. Plus she was a superhero because she was fashionable. how bloody awesome was that?!
