Super Hero High: Prometheus Rising (IC, Open)

"How about we go and get breakfast? I didn't even eat at the party so I haven't eaten in like over half a day" Caitlin said to anybody around her, but specifically Tyler. "I'm quite hungry" She said. They could just move their conversation into the Cafeteria, too. Whatever the others wanted to do worked.

But before anybody could really answer, she noticed Wilson arriving and speaking to them, so she turned to face him and answer his question. "Oh, I definitely had fun last night. One of the best nights I've ever had in fact" She said, smiling brightly. "Even the long chat I had with Tyler after we left the party was really enjoyable. Definitely trumps all other Halloween parties I've gone to. Actually winning something just made it all the better then it already was" She said to Wilson.

"How about you? Did you enjoy your time there?" Caitlin asked, uncertain if she had seen him there or not. There were so many people that she had lost track of who might of been there and who might not of been of the people she knew.

Tyler was just about to voice his agreement with Caitlin's proposal that they go to get some breakfast. Since he hadn't eaten anything but a few handfuls of sugary junk food for the last twelve hours or so he was starting to feel quite ravenous. Then Wilson showed up to check the list, looked happy with himself for a few moments, and then turned to talk to them. Tyler recalled that he and Wilson had talked about training together, sometime after lunch if he wasn't remembering wrongly. He was actually kind of looking forward to that now, being in a good enough mood to think that it might actually help him out some.

He nodded at him as a greeting when he started talking to them, flashing him a smile but otherwise letting Caitlin do the talking.

Alexander woke up after sleeping for about half an hour and having dreamt pleasant dreams. Which for him were dreams of conquest, victory, and the end of his rivals and enemies. He got out of bed and stretched and then walked out of his room. The villain walked to the Elevator and rode it up to the Cafeteria. He entered the room and found an empty table for himself and sat down. After sitting down he snapped his fingers opening up a portal and summoning Hunter into this dimension. The Shadow Wolf laid down at its masters feet as Alexander surveyed the students in the Cafeteria with a glare that would send shivers up someone's spine.

After Rachael left, Leroy had just sat there, finishing his food and surveying the students. He didn't do anything but watch, his gaze emotionless. A little while later he noticed a student who was glaring around the room, either just grumpy or trying to intimidate the other students. Perhaps he would be interesting to talk to.

Leroy rose from his seat and headed over to Alexander's table, sitting down across from him. He looked at him for a bit, his ice-blue gaze cold and emotionless in a way that was hard to compete with. "Nice wolf," He said, his voice as cold as his eyes. "You're not going to make many friends glaring at everyone like that," He tilted his head, his eyes unblinking.

Alexander scoffed. "Friends are for the weak and spineless. I prefer minions and such." Hunter growled at the newcomer. Just then Professor Darkstar came over to tell Alexander he would be in his class. Darkstar only wanted students with lots of power in his class and from what he had heard about this boy he was indeed powerful. The boy could pull things from other dimensions to serve him for God's Sake.
"Hello Mr. Kaizer. I'm Professor Atticus Darkstar. I teach a class on Mental Powers and due to your Telekinesis I feel obliged to tell you that you'll be in my class." Darkstar then turned to Leroy. "Morning to you Leroy. Throw anyone in the Brig yet today?"

"Friends stand by your side even in trouble, minions will turn their back on you the second they get a chance," Leroy said, looking coldy at Darkstar as he walked over. "Are you even allowed to just exclude people from your class?" He asked, realizing that he seemed to be choosing certain people, "In a normal school I don't think you would be. You're supposed to teach people, not train your own personal army. Even I understand that. Why would I throw anyone in a brig? That's the guard's job. Besides, it's a waste of time," He drummed his fingers on the table, just looking at the icily.

[Altruistic Paladins]

"Shouldn't you get over a fear of heights by living on top of a cliff?" Cassie asked, curious how being at sea level helped with a fear of heights. At what Sakura said, she did realize that did sound like weird wording for what she was trying to say, so she decided to explain to her what she meant. "I more meant in the sake that I went to the Halloween party on my own accord, to force myself to deal with my social problems, instead of being coax into it. I was told that I should do it but the decision was mostly my own decision. Of course getting over it in general requires others" She said, hoping her explanation was good enough.

"Wait, so the reason why you talked with Rachael was because of this? Uh, don't mind that. Anyway, there is something on my mind that is bothering me about this. What if you need help but don't go and get it?" Sakura asked, rather distant in her ponderings. There was some concern in the argument, but the focus was more on exercise of arguments. Sakura doubted that she got Cassie to accept them as outside help, but there was still a want to move away from past apathy.

"'Mmm-hmm, the debate goes on and on, but I just would like to remind you that it would be a good idea to get breakfast before they stop serving it. Cafeterias do have to clean between meals," Makoto explained as she put her device into a carrier. At that point, she thought Bramwell was simply a lost cause in terms of anything more than one syllable and decided to order on his behalf.

Alexander stood up. "I'd rather associate with a teacher who understands power and supremacy rather than one who sides with the weak and spineless." Alexander then turned to Darkstar. "Nice to meet you Professor. I look forward to being in your class." Alexander then walked off with Hunter following.
Professor Darkstar turned back to Leroy and smirked. "Leroy you really need to pay more attention to the students personality. Hence why only the powerful ones are in my classes. If you did that you might be teaching the most powerful but no such luck."

"Power corrupts, power is weakness," Leroy said, probably not making any sense,"I side with no one but myself," He added as Alexander walked off. He then looked at Professor Darkstar. "You think I care about his personality?" Leroy said, scoffing,"I think it's you who needs to pay more attention. I care nothing for power, or for powerful people. In fact, the more power, the less I like them. Besides, don't say I didn't warn you when I said that you can't choose who's in your class, just wait and see."

Darkstar laughed. "I didn't choose him! He was assigned to my class! Also no offence but feel free to take it. I believe anyone who considers power is a weakness is a bit of a nut. Now if you'll excuse me I have things to do."

[Retro Frost]

"Thats good that you had fun. I had a lot of fun just hanging out. It was good I heard you guys won the costume contest with batsquad costumes. Good job on that. Did you guys get accepted to the moon mission?" Wilson asked as he stood watching both of them. Remembering he was training Tyler today brought a mental spark which lit a vat of question he would ask.

"Oh, and Tyler since we still have time during breakfast I have a small exercise you could work on to improve your skills if you are willing to go to the dining hall since it has what need to practice." WIlson finished his speil.

"So you're just 'obliged' to wander around and tell everyone that they'll be in your class? Mmm-hm," Leroy said, sounding unimpressed. "Ever notice 'no offense' means exactly the opposite? You can't offend me if you tried," He stood up,"Some day, you'll see that I'm right," He said, his voice icier then normal. With that, he turned and left.

[Decius]

Upon getting back to his office, Professor Darkstar realized that Alexander might need a tour of the school since he was new. So he activated the PA System in his office to call up a student to give Alexander a tour. He spoke into the intercom. "Could Ms. Maisie Green please report to Professor Darkstar's Office. Thank you."

[Mighty Asgard]

"Thats good that you had fun. I had a lot of fun just hanging out. It was good I heard you guys won the costume contest with batsquad costumes. Good job on that.

"Oh, and Tyler since we still have time during breakfast I have a small exercise you could work on to improve your skills if you are willing to go to the dining hall since it has what need to practice." WIlson finished his speil.

"Yeah we were accepted," Tyler beamed when Wilson asked about the moon mission. Before he could ask the same thing in return Wilson thought of something else and suggested that they go to the cafeteria to train a little. Tyler was a little wary about that, somewhat worried that he would accidentally start a food fight by sending his breakfast platter flying, but since they were planning to go there anyway he saw no reason to not at least try.

"We were actually planning to go get some breakfast right now," he answered, "so why not?"

[Corrian]

"No, I talked to Rachael because I was concerned about her. She looked depressed, so I wanted to see if I could help her....." Cassie said, letting out a sigh. It was quite obvious that she felt a little sad that her trying to help Rachael hadn't succeeded in any way at all. Because it was Cassie who cared for everyone's well being apparently, villain or not. At Sakura's next question, she fell silent, not sure what to say in response for a while. "Then.....Then I guess it is my own loss that I might suffer because of it" She said rather quietly, but loud enough to hear.

Cassie gave a nod to Makoto. "I actually have an appetite today, too, which is rather nice" She said, noticing her stomach growling a little because even though she had an appetite now, she didn't really eat much for a while now. She didn't think people really needed to eat as much as everyone pretended you do, anyway, but that wasn't really her reason for not eating for a while this time. Right now she was just glad that she actually felt like eating something. But, before heading to the Cafeteria, she waited for the others to head there first, since she was a follower, not a leading type.

Caitlin
"Thanks" Caitlin said to Wilson when he said it was good that they had fun, and she said "That's good" when he said he had a lot of fun just hanging out, too. "Yup. We went as Batman and Catwoman and put on a little show, and it made us win. I haven't done much with my new laptop but I already love it" She said, smiling at thinking about her awesome new laptop. She was about ready to answer the question about the moon mission but Tyler had been her to it. Instead she just listened to the two talk about training Tyler without saying anything, until it was mentioned they were headed to the Cafeteria.

"Lead the way boys" Caitlin chimed in with a grin.

Professor Darkstar finally got tired of waiting and decided to pick another student. He put up lists of all the students and threw a dart. It landed on Cole Riker. So Professor Darkstar turned on the intercom. "Could Cole Riker please report to Professor Darkstar's Office. Thank you."

Cole heard the summons over the intercom, but debated whether or not he really wanted to go. In the end he decided it was best and crawled out from under the bed. He hesitantly headed out, trying to figure out where the hell Professor Darkstar's office was. Eventually he found it and just walked straight through the door, coughing faintly as the feeling of wood/metal/whatever the door's made of filled him. He was currently hardly more then a shadow. "'Reporting' to your office, like you wanted. Why report? I have nothing to 'report' to anyone. More like someone wants to report something to me," He muttered to himself.

Professor Darkstar raised an eyebrow. "I heard that. And its a fancy way of saying please come to. Now Cole I have a special job for you. You see we have a new student and he is unfamiliar with the layout of the school. I was wondering if you might show him around so he can become familiar with it?"

"I know what it means, it just doesn't make sense. Nothing makes sense," He put his hand to his head and shook it,"Everything's so foggy," He muttered, shaking his head again. "Why a tour? There's maps, drawings of the place, why a tour? Can they not see lines on pages? No one else got a tour, not even the blind boy, why should they? They're not special, no more then the rest of us, why should they be treated as so?" He asked, tilting his head,"Why don't you give him a tour? You're just sitting there. Your class hasn't even started. I don't understand why people think they should tell other people to do something, rather then doing it themselves."

Professor Darkstar sighed. "Well for one thing I have many tests to grade and some worksheets to prepare. Another thing is that this student has a rather troubled past and trouble in the social area and trouble following rules. I want you to give him a tour because you especially can keep an eye on him. Please Cole."

"Tests to grade? You just got here," Cole said, tilting his head. "Troubled past? Troubled past? I didn't get special treatment, and I have a troubled present. Others have troubles, too, but you don't care, do you. You think he's special, but he's not, no one's special. Somewhere in the world, there's someone like him. What does special mean? Different? Treated better? Or is it a opinion one can hold of themself? Is it just a matter of opinion?" He shook his head,"Me especially? I can't 'keep an eye on' myself. What could I do? I can't fight, I can't touch things, I can't even think. I don't even know my way around, but at least I can read a map."

Darkstar may have been a little evil but he was a teacher first and evil second. He decided that maybe if Ms. Green came she could give Alexander the tour. He turned on his computer and got ready to ask some questions. He then turned back to Cole. "Mr. Riker, I may be a little evil in the head but I'm a teacher first and you sound like a student in need of some help. Now you say you have a troubled present and can't even think. Please tell me exactly what you mean. As a teacher it is the troubled present which concerns me which makes me think that someone is targeting you. Please open up. I swear that if you would like nothing of what you tell me will leave this office. Proceed."

Thomas had decided that he would try and continue his day unhindered, and he decided to go to the gym early. He knew he had to start getting to work on Goltia's request, but that could wait. He walked down slowly to the Gym, hoping to not shoot lightning or something on accident. As he entered the near empty gym, he was wondering what he could do. He had to face the facts, It happened again, and now I have some weird new power, best bet is to try and control it.

He did his sprints easily, and lifted some wieights with ease, but when it came to the bag, things went south again. Another shock connected between his fist and the bag, burning his knuckles. He yelped a bit at the electricity, the began cursing at himself. He decided he'd be better off trying to use the armor.

As he went over to where he had left it last, Thomas began lifting the plates, all of which clicked and whirled as they connected into place. Thankfully, there were no issues, and the system loaded up, and Thomas was greeted by the firmiliar sound of the suit's computer.

Reactor levels at 45%: advise replacing fuel rods after use
Thomas sneered, as getting new fuel rods could be an issue all the way up here. He had never had to replace the fuel in the 3 years the armor has been in use, but the reactor did wear down over time. He looked mentally into the capacitor levels, and was met with a surprise when it Cale back with only 10%. But I had just checked it yesterday, and it was fully charged. the system recounted the capacitor levels, and it came back with an eerie report. As soon as he put it on, the capacitors lost nearly half their charge.

He cursed at himself, and tried to deduce what happened. The electricity had to come from somewhere, and the most likely location was the batteries in the suit. But it didn't take it all, so there must be a limit. The capacitors began recharging as Thomas went through all the same drills, thankful that the armor made things easier physically. All that was left was shooting practice.

He walked into the range, retrieving his rifle and hooking it up to the armor. He shouldered the weapon, and began focusing on the shot. The barrel began lining up, and the rifle began humming with the charge that propelled the shot. He took aim and pulled the trigger. Then, it all went wrong, a shock went into the weapon, a large one, and Thomas only noticed for a split second on his HUD in big red letters

Weapon Capacitor Overload: 2316% maximum capacity

The gauss rifle exploded in his arms, the charge ripping the rails apart, and the metal punched back into Thomas's armor, a piece of shrapnel imbedding itself through the armor into his shoulder. He collapsed, the flashing red light reporting that there wàs blood loss.

"Wouldn't the idea that Rachael is a bitter person be a deterrent?" Sakura asked as Makoto got up and walked with Bramwell in tow. "Okay, even disregarding that, why do you feel that suffering is okay. You can care for a person who is just casually spiteful yet, yet you don't give a damn about your own suffering? Cassie, you are a better person than 'me, but I think pain does not exist in a vacuum where one person can hurt himself and have everyone else just be peachy. If you suffer, how are you going to expect Tara or Bramwell to feel?" Sakura inquired as she forgot that Makoto was about to leave. For a tone of academic interest, Sakura was rather direct in her attempt to quash an issue rather than let it fester.

"Sakura and Cassie, should I order out on your behalves or does food get in the way of questions of selflessness and suffering?" Makoto asked in an unintentionally-veiled reminder of breakfast that was more aimed at Sakura than Cassie since Sakura asked the questions. Sakura was slightly embarrassed that she forgot about things that quickly.

"Sorry, I blame Griff," Sakura stated with a reference that Cassie likely understood not as Sakura took up what sounded like a bad imitation of a somewhat old Texan man, a specific one. Sakura was not even a quotation so much as short, poorly done imitation in that it instead sounded like she was a doing a competent impression of Christian Bale's Batman voice. By that point, Sakura was embarrassed enough by the bad impression that she just stopped, got up, and joined the group in silence as they left.

"Thanks" Caitlin said to Wilson when he said it was good that they had fun, and she said "That's good" when he said he had a lot of fun just hanging out, too. "Yup. We went as Batman and Catwoman and put on a little show, and it made us win. I haven't done much with my new laptop but I already love it" She said, smiling at thinking about her awesome new laptop. She was about ready to answer the question about the moon mission but Tyler had been her to it. Instead she just listened to the two talk about training Tyler without saying anything, until it was mentioned they were headed to the Cafeteria.

"Lead the way boys" Caitlin chimed in with a grin.

"Alright, the breakfast train is departing, everyone is invited!" Tyler said when Caitlin told him to lead the way, almost immediately finding himself wishing that he hadn't. With no way to change the past so he could say something less dorky he settled for simply leading the way. Since they were pretty much right next to the cafeteria already it wasn't a long walk.

The large room was mostly deserted, most of the students finding sleep a preferable alternative to food, so they would not have to stand in any lines to get their food. He thought this was a great improvement over most days because he hated waiting in line.

"So, where do you guys want to sit?" he asked his companions as he stopped right inside the doors. "And do we need anything special for this training of yours, Wilson?" he asked as an afterthough, "like, breadrolls or something?"

He walked into the range, retrieving his rifle and hooking it up to the armor. He shouldered the weapon, and began focusing on the shot. The barrel began lining up, and the rifle began humming with the charge that propelled the shot. He took aim and pulled the trigger. Then, it all went wrong, a shock went into the weapon, a large one, and Thomas only noticed for a split second on his HUD in big red letters

Weapon Capacitor Overload: 2316% maximum capacity

The gauss rifle exploded in his arms, the charge ripping the rails apart, and the metal punched back into Thomas's armor, a piece of shrapnel imbedding itself through the armor into his shoulder. He collapsed, the flashing red light reporting that there wàs blood loss.

A guard was watching Thomas practice with his armor, since he wasn't allowed to freely move it about the station, when the boy's relatively calm training session suddenly took a turn for the worse. Shortly after entering the firing range and preparing his weapon it exploded right in his hand, sending shrapnel everywhere. Thankfully the range was separated from the rest of the room by thick protective screens so no one else was hit. The guard noticed Thomas go down so he quickly grabbed a first aid kit from its holder on the wall and rushed to aid him.

The armor had no obvious release mechanism of any kind, nothing to indicate how it was supposed to be removed, so the guard's attempts to help were almost immediately stumped. Cutting through it would take too long and be too risky so he hoped that Thomas was still conscious and responsive inside.

"Hey!" he shouted, tapping on the side of the helmet, "hey, can you hear me?"

Josh opened his mouth to replied to the suggestion of breakfast, only to stop when he felt a rather nasty glare boring into the back of his skull. Turning around, he saw Goltia and Grace approaching. Grace was smiling happily, her necklace taking pride of place around her neck. Goltia stood beside her, her hand gripping Grace's gently, and her face wearing an expression somewhere between anger and nausea.
"Good morning," Grace said happily. Goltia grumbled something along the lines of a greeting, before groaning and leaning on Grace's shoulder gently.
"What's up with you?" Josh asked. Goltia gave another groan, which Grace translated.
"I think she said, 'what the fuck do you think'?" Grace said, her happy tone very much at odds with the rather nasty message. Shrugging, Josh turned at the mention of food. Looking down at the sole survivor of his toast massacre, he sighed and stuff it into his mouth, before looking at the two girls.
"Coming?" he said past the toast, before following Tyler and company.

Once they arrived, Goltia immediately sat down and thumped her head forward on the table. Grace sat downside her, rubbing her back gently.
"You okay there?" she asked gently. Goltia groaned and turned to her head to look at Grace.
"I feel like someone is using a jackhammer on my stomach, if that's what you're asking," she replied. Grace sighed and put her arms around Goltia.
"We'll get you some food, okay?" she said. Goltia grumbled an affirmative, and Grace stood and walked over to the food counter. Meanwhile, Josh sat down beside Goltia, putting a cup of coffee down in front of her. Sniffing, Goltia moaned happily and grabbed the cup, before dragging herself back into a sitting position and sipping at the cup.
"Thought you would enjoy that," Josh said, sipping at his own coffee, before frowning. He thought he felt a massive burst of energy coming from somewhere nearly. Looking around, he didn't see any signs of trouble, so he shrugged and went back to watching Goltia lovingly cradle her coffee.

Wilson followed Tyler into the cafeteria. When Tyler asked what he need for training he responded.

"We will need two cups filled with ice that I will get right now and I don't care where we sit as long as we sit." Wilson said as he telekinetically filled up two cups with ice and brought them over to his locating while simultaneously filling up his cup of water and getting a plate of breakfast sausage and pancakes. He didn't usually show off his telekinesis, but today was an exception.

"So where are we going to sit?" Wilson asked with all his stuff just floating around him.

"Tests to grade? You just got here," Cole said, tilting his head. "Troubled past? Troubled past? I didn't get special treatment, and I have a troubled present. Others have troubles, too, but you don't care, do you. You think he's special, but he's not, no one's special. Somewhere in the world, there's someone like him. What does special mean? Different? Treated better? Or is it a opinion one can hold of themself? Is it just a matter of opinion?" He shook his head,"Me especially? I can't 'keep an eye on' myself. What could I do? I can't fight, I can't touch things, I can't even think. I don't even know my way around, but at least I can read a map."

Darkstar may have been a little evil but he was a teacher first and evil second. He decided that maybe if Ms. Green came she could give Alexander the tour. He turned on his computer and got ready to ask some questions. He then turned back to Cole. "Mr. Riker, I may be a little evil in the head but I'm a teacher first and you sound like a student in need of some help. Now you say you have a troubled present and can't even think. Please tell me exactly what you mean. As a teacher it is the troubled present which concerns me which makes me think that someone is targeting you. Please open up. I swear that if you would like nothing of what you tell me will leave this office. Proceed."

"You're evil?" Cole practically squeaked, taking a step back. He just sort of listened to what Darkstar said. When he said to tell him exactly what he meant, Cole tilted his head,"I can't think straight," He said, as if it was obvious what he meant when he said he can't think. He put his hand to head head,"It's so foggy. Shattered, like a mirror, just shards, filled with darkness and fog." He twitched,"There was a light, but it's gone now." He nearly whispered the last part. "There was a student here, just today, he threatened to make me wolf food for a wolf of shadow. There was a portal, he tried to get me to do what he wanted, but I escaped. He was going to kill me," He said, starting to tremble.
