Apostol was caught off guard, who stepped back with surprise from the sudden intrusion of his personal time, having been so focused on the picture in his hand. His eyes snapped to her, mouth agape. The New Yorker gave a quick up and down glance, before relaxing a bit. In his head, he concluded that if she was dangerous enough to carry out that threat, him would surely come out. He didn't want to take any chance of that. With a nod, he responded to her order.
"I-I'm Apostol...... N-Nice to meet you, Ronan." Replied Apostol, his voice shaky and quiet.
"And nothing's wrong...... I.... I.... I'm just a tad bit nervous coming here. I don't know where we're going, not to mention I had to leave all my friends before the end of school year, as a senior too...."
"I was actually calming down when you walked up to me..... A-And this is what I was using to do so." Continued Apostol, before turning the picture of him and his foster parents around to show Honor.

Honor examined the picture before frowning briefly, remembering her own parents. She quickly blocked the thought from her mind and let a smile cross her face. "Well, Apostol, here's some advice. Don't sweat losing friends, because they probably weren't really your friends in the first place," she said, speaking based on her own experience. "Moushiwake gozaimasen," she apologized in Japanese. "I don't mean to say you don't have friends, I'm just speaking from my own experience."
He probably thinks I'm some cynical loser now... she thought, blushing just a tiny bit at her own awkwardness.

She looked around at all the other kids around her, trying to analyze the way people talked, walked, and their posture among other things. Mostly everyone her looks weak, but I should know better than anyone that I can’t judge the book by its cover.
Mila went into her backpack and pulled out her MP3 player, and started listening to some classical music. She sat down on the cold floor and closed her eyes, focusing only on the music playing in her ears. This orientation session needs to end quickly. Its been months since I’ve slept in an actual bed and I want to end that streak today.

Mila felt that someone was near here, and open her eyes for confirmation. She looked up to a guy with black hair, who looked like he was about her age. But, she noticed that something seemed a little... off about him. She thought about just ignoring him, but knew that at some point she would have to interact with other students here. Now is as good as anytime to talk to someone.
Mila took out her headphones, stood up, and faced the teen near her, looking him straight into the eyes.
"My name is Mila Volkov, nice to make your acquaintance," she told him in a Russian accent holding out her hand, signaling for him to shake it. Her face had a blank look, hiding any emotions, but her eyes were staring intensely at the boy infront of her, trying to decide whether this guy could be strong enough to become her ally.

"Uhhh....Hi! I'm Ray. Ray Garvison. Nice to meet you too. Do you have any clue where we're headed? I mean, they kinda didn't tell me. Heck, I was in a cage until a few hours ago. Anyways...."
He swallowed awkwardly, sure he was behaving like an absolute idiot. I mean, human interaction was never his specialty anyway. It was never a good idea, to try to connect to someone, when there was always that odd chance said person would end up as his lunch.
"Do you know where they're taking us?" He continued grinning, painfully aware of his terrible Boston accent, his wild hair, occasionally drifting into his vision.

"Even if they were just pretending to be my friends, I would have nevertheless been happy..... They, along with my foster parents, helped me get over my childhood. Taught me that there's more than hate and darkness on this world, that I'm not alone." Replied Apostol, the smile that he had lost earlier returning, albeit a lot smaller, closer to that of a sad smile. He would let a small amount of time pass before resuming speaking. Clearing his throat, he straightened up a bit and looked at Honor. In as sincere voice as he can, said the following.
"And I'm sorry if I alienated you in anyway by bringing up such small problems... I didn't mean to. If I did, I deeply apologize." Added Apostol, putting away the picture.
He then gave a gentle smile, extending out his left hand towards her as a sign of good will. "I don't know if we can, but I hope that we become friends."

Mila stared at Ray as he was talking to her, analyzing everything he said and did. His accent means hes from New England area in the United States. He is definitely an awkward person, but someone thought he was dangerous enough to lock him away in a cage. However, when he smiles, some might even say he is cute, in a graceless, clusmly way.
After Ray asked his question for the second time, Mila smirked at him before answering, "We are headed to the Academy it would seem like. I believe its somewhere in somewhere in South Asia, but I do not know for sure." Mila then took about a half-step closer to Ray and crossed her arms beneath her chest.
"So Mr. Ray, what abilities do you bring to the academy?"

Honor bowed before shaking his hand with a tight grip. "It's no problem. And I could use a friend," she said, adding the last bit after a pause. "A real one, not the ones I had back in the States..."
While others might be homesick, she didn't miss her life in Massachusetts Bay at all. If anything, she was ready for this new adventure, wherever it led her to.
"I think we're landing now," she added, as the massive airship touched down with the concrete landing zone, and the ground began to descend beneath them, as the area turned into one big elevator.

Ray smiled, grinning awkwardly, looking down at his feet. He had always been bad at reading people, a likely side effect of his condition, but even he could tell he was embarrassing himself. Say something cool!, He thought, trying not to make a fool out of himself, again. The girl obviously meant business, and he didn't want to make a bad impression on his future peers, not on the very first day, at least.
"Oh, thank you. Would've been nice for them to tell us the exact location, but I'll take what I can get. As for what I do...."
Ray visibly squirmed, made uncomfortable by the question he'd been trying to avoid his entire life.
"Whenever I get physically or mentally hurt, I.....I lose control....I have a semi-liquid parasite that lives within me. Whenever I get hurt, the parasite comes out of my bod, and surrounds me, turning me into a raving, psychotic, unkillable monster. I...I have no control over it...I've done horrible things...that I don't even want to live with. I...I'm sorry. I'll go now, if you want me to. "
As he heard the landing docks engage, Ray suddenly turned to the front, a grin on his face.
He looked over his shoulder, at Mila, smiling.
"I guess we're here now. It was nice to meet you! "

Apostol winced at how tight the Honor had gripped his hand, but shook hands with her with a smile on his face. It was good to make friends, friends make anything better, just the experience of having one is great. And with this, he has a friend in a new school, wherever this place was.
"Oh is that so?" Replied the Bulgarian-American, looking around again, the movement of the area palpable from the floor alone. He then gave a glance towards his and Honor's hands, still clasped in a handshake.
Blushing, Apostol started to become nervous again, coughing to get Honor's attention. "U-Ummmm, Ronan. Yo-You're still holding my hand, can you let go for now?"

What a weird guy. One moment it looks like he is going to cry and the next he has a grin on his face. But, his power can be very useful, if im nowhere near him when he uses it of course. "It was interesting meeting you Mr. Ray," Mila said to him as she picked up her duffle bag and started following the crowd outside.
The first thing she wanted to of course was get some weapons. She left all of her guns at her temporary residence back in Siberia, and she felt naked and vulnerable without them. Of course, she assumed, that a place that has enough money to purchase a huge aircraft, must have a well loaded weaponry. Then, she just wanted to take a nap. Running from the Russian government was hard work, and living in Siberia with no money was even harder. Mila wanted to sleep in a real bed, then eat a real meal for the first time this month.

Meanwhile, a man walked into the room who was clad in all black, in what looked like a kind of combat uniform. "The Director is ready to see all of you. Please follow me to the hangar."

Rynagria wrote:"I-It's okay." Reassured Apostol with a smile, before turning attention to the man that had just walked into the room, his blush disappearing. A militaristic aura or feeling around the man, Apostol just got more nervous, his thoughts coming back to what came ahead. Concern now bubbled from his calmed thoughts, afraid of the future.
Is this a military school or something?..... If it is..... I'd be no good here. I'm not exactly soldier material.
But the shy, meek boy could only nod, afraid of incurring the man's wrath. Like the others, he fell in line, his backpack secured on his back and duffel bag carried by his non-dominant right hand. He did his best to dispel his growing sensation of danger, which caused him repeat his mantra for all the times that were similar.
Everything's going to be fine. Everything's going to be fine. Everything's going to be fine. Everything's going to be fine. Repeated Apostol in his head, but not all of it would be contained, whispering the five words to himself quietly.
"Everything's going to fine."

Wait, will he? His master does warn him that people enrolled to this academy isn't normal and have powers and stuff. This thought start to fill his head. Will he actually explode? Hramn is standing just behind this kid, so no matter what he did, he will still on the radius. He also can't turn himself to gas, that'll just make the explosion bigger than it'll should. Panicked, he take a step back and try to tap to the kid's shoulder.
"H..hey, you're okay? You look really jumpy there...you won't explode, right?

"E-Explode?!" Incredulously said Apostol as silently as he could, turning behind him after feeling a tap on his shoulder. The tap had caused him to jump, panic mixing with his current set of emotions because of the question. After all, why would he just explode? As silly as it sounded, for all he knew, that could happen, yet the reason as to why never came to him. While there has been cases where people spontaneously combusted, he doesn't that his current situation would qualify him to do that and he didn't have any form explosive on him, not that he would need or bring them with him.
He vigorously shook his head towards the boy. "N-No...... Wh-Why would I do that? And I'm just jumpy because I don't what kind of school this is..... That man in the uniform isn't really helping me relax, just as long as I'm not going to be in sort of danger, I-I'll be fine.."

Still, it does makes it feels a bit awkward for him. After all, asking people if they will be exploding hazard material isn't a very polite interaction. He let his panic drive his mind and ends up screwing him more in his first day at his first school. On the brighter side though, it's always better to be safe than blown to bits.
Hramn does took a curious look though when he said he doesn't know what kind of school is this. Isn't this school supposed to be super-villain thingy only? His master told him that the Academy were supposed to be a top secret to the public and only known in the super-villain community before he order Hramn to enroll. So how did anyone enroll without knowing what is it?
Well, even if Hramn does knows why, it won't matter. He's here after all, and he will be his school-mate no matter what. So he guessed to just let it go and do a better impression to him than the first one. He's bound to interact with other someway or another, so why not now?
"Sorry, I just nervous too. I was panicking when I ask that, so I guess that made it both of us." Hramn said to the boy before lending his hand, "I'm Hramn, by the way..."

There was another airship there among other things, such as aircraft and ground vehicles. "The Director will see you," the soldier stated simply, nodding towards the Asian man who was wearing a black shirt and suit, talking with a couple other soldiers.
