"I think I'd like to have a few words with all of you," Dr Thomas replied briskly.

 

The alarms suddenly cut out: someone must have figured out it was a false alarm and disabled the sirens. The ensuing silence was deafening.

 

"Students," the counsellor said loudly, drawing every eye in the hall. "You are all in direct violation of fire code procedure. Please remove yourselves to your dorms or to your next classes.

 

"And you five," she continued, singling out Alec, Alex, Showstopper, Card, and Joey.

 

"Come with me."

The east Asian man that had entered the forest was definitely not a member of SHIELD, and as such was marked as a suspicious character by Mikhail, who had already been moving the instant he caught sight of the other being. It was quite surprising how nobody had noticed him, but he supposed that not wearing his usual clothes did help him tail after people more stealthily. After all, there was less clothing to weigh him down.

 

While the agent could not hear what his target was saying, the very presence of the communicator indicated that the man was probably affiliated with some sort of organisation - possibly even the one responsible for the high amounts of unusual activity that was recorded by the analysts in the area. But Mikhail would do his best not to make any assumptions. He would simply watch silently, and if the Asian man showed any sign of being a threat, he would act.

IC: "Wait what?" Alec was startled enough by the request from the counsellor that he dropped the axe. It landed on his toe -thankfully with one of the blunt sides- causing him to hop a little in brief but stinging pain. "The heck did I do?"

 

 

IC: With the president gone and the press leaving in dribs and drabs, Persephone took it as her cue to make her own exit. She walked out the foyer to the car park, where she'd left her bulky combat armour standing in one of the spots, a parking ticket stuck onto the visor of the helmet. Because yes, there were people out there who'd give a fine to a suit of power armour. 

It unfurled like a metal blossom, ready for her to step in, then closed up like the world's most heavily armed oyster when she had. She felt bolts and wires shooting through her day-to-day body to seal her in place and set up the neural interface. She wasn't just wearing the armour, she was becoming it, a handy trick that was one of the perks of being a machine herself.

Once she was fully installed in the upgraded body she took off, silently floating up into the sky on unseen currents of magnetic energy, a tiny trail of aurora borealis glittering in her wake as burnt-up plasma exhaust flared and burnt in her magnetic slipstream.

Lets see, what needed to be done. No on-going emergencies but there was some situation in Nebraska. No emergency reported but only one agent sent. Well, he could probably do with some air support right? 

She spun in the air, in-built global positioning systems pointing herself towards Nebraska as she started running her supersonic subroutines, preparing to hit her top speed. Because otherwise she might as well have been walking or something

IC:"I think that that would be five words."Alex replied, raising one eyebrow slightly as he slid out his phone, checked the notifications, and tapped the command to allow Sakuya access to the lower levels."And I must admit some curiosity as to why myself and my opposite number are on that list. I've done nothing but disobey the fire code and remind Mr. Walker in no uncertain terms of the legal ramifications if someone were to report the nature of his blackmail to the police, and my alternate counterpart has done nothing save crack a few jokes and disarm a potentially hostile student."

[color=#008080;]"...I was always a Squirtle lad..."

In his shock from exposure to the frogs, he didn't notice the alarms turning off. "Okay everybody, back to class," he said as he dashed off to one of the exits to bring what few students were outside back in.

Giving a barest hand wave to the other four people present he headed over to the food bar.

 

"And both of them with lots of bacon."

[Ninth Krayzikk]

IC:"I'm thinking sausage and bacon, since apparently I haven't eaten a full meal in nearly a week." Alexander commented, following his namesake to the food bar, and beginning to load a plate with every meat product in sight, along with pancakes, eggs, and numerous other foods.Out of the corner of his eye, he studied Renee carefully. The unknown digital signature belonged to her, but somehow, it was familiar. Almost like he'd encountered portions of that data before...Which would fit in with the idea that she was a pre-existing student.

Julia steeled herself, then took a running leap and caught the edge of a windowsill. It took some time, but with John's help, she managed to pull herself up onto the roof, luggage and all. Something between her knuckles itched.

"Funny we both ended up here without knowing it," John grunted.

 

"Maybe we're more alike then I originally thought." John launched himself across another distance between buildings. The next rooftop was a bit slanted however. As he began to slide down John popped his claws out of one hand. The bone claws quickly shifted to metal as his organic metal swirled over them. He then stabbed them into the rooftop; stopping him from sliding down. John then popped his other set of claws out and used them to climb up the slanted roof until he was standing at the top.Tokyo was an amazing city. So many lights, so many buildings, so many people. It was outlandish and strange compared to New York, but it still had a similar feel to the big city.

 

This place had been John's home in the last year. Now he had to leave it to return home. "Where are we going once we get to the airport?"

Julia was fortunate enough to land on a more level portion of the roof.

 

"Well, we could go back to New York," she suggested, almost unconsciously rolling the locket between her thumb and forefinger. "I mean...unless you have any better ideas...?"

New York.

 

"No I don't have any other ideas. New York it is then." John said. He wasn't too keen on going back to the institute after what he did to Kristen.

 

"Let's hope we get a warm welcome." he sighed as he slid down the other side of the roof before jumping to the next one. The airport would be coming up soon. John couldn't wait to get out of this city.

The counsellor blinked, and suddenly half the group was gone. Kristen and Joey remained, and Showstopper was waltzing away as though he hadn't heard her. She made no external sign of disapproval, but mentally marked down the names of the students who had pulled a vanishing act.

 

"Dallas Gree-" she began, intending to call the offending teen back, but Showstopper, too, had already disappeared.

 

She frowned, then turned back to the two remaining students, and decided to concede this round. "You two may go," she said. "Unless there's anything you'd like to tell me?"

 

 

IC (The Ultimate Barista)

 

Rene had finally found Showstopper - in critical danger of being apprehended by Dr Thomas, no less. So he mentally flicked on his powers and accelerated the Ultimate teen's kinetic energy, pulling him out of the hallway faster than the eye could follow.

 

"Hey there, sexy," he said with a dimpled smile, as a startled Dal came to a sliding stop. "Did I miss anything?"

Hey, at least if he was worried about too many calories he could just turn his arm into a laser cannon and burn a few off. And get to laser things in the process, so an added fun bonus.
