"Sidnee." Naomi replied, smiling warmly. "I'm glad you could make it here." She wanted to make polite small talk, but she saw right away that her actions would make Sidnee more anxious when she wanted to attract as little attention as possible."


Sidnee nodded once and offered a faint smile. She crossed her arms and looked around at the new faces that came in. The girl she had run into was Francene, and the gentleman from seconds before was Isaiah, and...apparently liked crickets with chili powder. She was happy that Naomi had stopped him from offering them to her at all. She noticed a new face enter, but simply chose to ignore it for now as she rested her clenched fists on the desk. What was this all about, anyway?

Theo looked up and smiled slightly. "Yeah." they weren't sure what else to say. They were mostly curious about what this whole meeting was about. They took note of all the names of everyone in the room. They were getting bored. Theo was about to get up and talk to someone, but they weren't sure who 'cause the level of anxiety in the room was overwhelming. And I though I needed therapy...

Hmm... Naomi supposed it was only natural that a classroom of strangers would sit far apart from one another. But that wouldn't do, would it?

She felt a surge of determination.

These students had to become friends! Close friends. People that they could trust with their lives. To let this first impression make them think they could keep each other comfortably out of their field of vision wouldn't just be bad leadership... it could be a fatal barrier between them if life and death were ever on the line!

Naomi's eyes blazed with confidence as she called out to the class. "Okay, everyone! Move closer to the front of the class with me so that I can talk to you all a little easier." The girl's eyes met Sidnee's, and they flashed with pride. She knew that this girl could do it, even if it terrified her at first.

"I want to hear what each of your special abilities are. In exhange..." Deftly, her glance turned to Isalah's. "I'll agree to tell you mine as well."

"Deal!" Isaiah hadn't sit down so he took his place in the front of the class. "My name is Isaiah Calhoun, I'm 17 and I'm capable of synthesizing poisons within my body." He smiled largely and stuck his tongue out to show off its deep blue. He stared at his classmate's reaction and tilted his head. "Somethin wrong? I don't have cricket wings in my teeth do I?"

Theo was slightly shook by the enthusiasm of their classmate. Also, the tongue was a bit odd. "Nah, fam you're blue tongue is kinda just freaking me out." They walked over him, deciding that people with blue tongues couldn't have anxiety, and sat near him. "My name is Theodore Powell I'm 18, I can generate and manipulate plasma, gender isn't real and death is unavoidable."

Francene gulped down her anxiety and stood up. A bit too fast though that the table slid forward a bit. She blinked and walked awkwardly forward and took a chair, a seat apart from Theodore, and sat herself down. She tried to compose herself and breathed in.

She stared down at her desk and exhaled. "Designated Thirty-Se.. name is Francene Tremway, 14. I can talk to technology and make it do things I want it to." The situation reminded herself too much of the past and she blinked before inhaling again. "I can make your phones ring, if you want. Or.."

She noticed the projector at the top of the classroom and she focused a bit on it. With some effort, the projector clicked open and was transmitting a black and white picture that had "Hi" written on it.

Sidnee felt the eyes of Naomi on her as she talked to the rest of the class. She began to visibly tremble as their gazes locked. This was like high school all over again. She exhaled shakily and moved herself a bit closer to the front. This time, she was glancing from face to face with much more anxiety. She began overthinking every scenario in which something could go horribly wrong. Then, Isaiah stuck his blue tongue out, and she managed to let out a giggle. "Not cricket wings," She said out loud, then gasped a bit, "It's just...a-a little blue on your tongue."

As the others went, Sidnee found that it was finally her turn. She didn't bother standing up, just turned around in her desk to the rest of her comrades. "My names...Sidnee," She said quietly. Even though her last name wasn't really a secret, she omitted it from her introduction anyway, "I can control shadows and mold it into lots of different stuff...I-I also have a pretty cool sword." She poked at the sheathed weapon on her back. She didn't mention the other person.

The announcement has caught her during her break. It wasn't anything important she was doing, but it still forced her to stop, and go somewhere. Angel reluctantly got up, grabbing her unfinished bag of sweety goodies, and left her dorm, twice making sure it is locked, before she set off in direction she thought the class was. The girl wasn't in a rush, but she also wasn't slacking, just a regular pace that would allow her to finish her snack on the way. When she finally reached her destination, the doors were still open, and she could hear people talking inside already.

A double knock could be heard, and in leaned a girl with blonde-red hair, and eyes of different color. She was wearing a white, tight sporty hoodie zipped all the way up, with a black zipper and red pockets. She also had jeans shorts, and simple black sneakers with mismatched socks of different length, one being red, and the other black. The palm of her right arm was bandaged, similarly as her left calf. What caught most attention however, were a pair of long, silver objects of odd shape, going down from her back almost all the way to the ground. The girl had a slightly surprised look on her face, and a red twizzler sticking out of her mouth. "Tis a class A meetin?" Angel asked, first taking the candy out of her mouth.

"No need to be so morbid Theo. Death may be unavoidable, but doesn't make life any less worth living." Isaiah whistled, "That's awesome. Hi to you too!" The boy waved to the girl. He looked to Sidnee. "My tongue?" Isaiah looked down as he stuck his tongue out to see for himself and chuckled. "Oh yea, another little change thanks to my power. Along with the hair and my eyes." He opened his eyes for a quick moment but closed them quickly he wasn't the biggest fan showing them off, they seemed to unnerve people so he kept them closed. He waved to the newcomer. "Yea nice to meet ya. I'm Isaiah, that's Theo, Francene, and Sidnee." Isaiah saw the twizzler."Oh can I have one? I'll trade ya for a cricket." He held up the bag.

"Hey! I also have a cool sword. We can be swordfighters together!" Delighted, Naomi reached somewhere behind her desk, pulling out a lengthy katana that sat in its hilt, its blade concealed. "I practice with this weapon every day. As I have for almost fifteen years. t's always wonderful to find someone who has something in common with me." Her expression was one of gentle encouragement. "If you would ever like to train with me, I may be able to teach you a thing or two. Or maybe you'll be the one teaching me? Haha!"

As Angel knocked on the door, she found Naomi already on the other side, opening it for her with a pleasant smile. "Hello, Angel. This is where the meeting is, yes. But we haven't started yet!" She took a second to look through her papers, pointing at three nondescript names on the list. "We're still waiting for everyone to show up before we begin."

Looking behind Angel, her smile turned wry. "We were getting to know each other's special abilities. But somehow I have a feeling that I can guess yours." She laughed to herself, closing the door behind her.

"Really? How did ya know I can make candies explode?" Angel's surprised expression deepened, and she waved the half eaten, red snack in her hand. She couldn't keep it together for long though, and very soon laughed. "I'm just keedin. Yeah, tis a no-brainer." The objects on her back moved a little, in a wavy pattern. They looked like hundreds of thin oblong metal plates, folded over and attached to each other. And then her face underwent another change as her laugh was cut short. "None of you do that though, right? Explodin candy?" The girl looked around a little concerned, afraid she might've made a faux pas already. Making fun of something like that would've been an awful start. She also took her time to look at every one, and tie the names to faces, thanks to the help of a boy standing nearby. Angel stared at him askew for a moment, before she put the twizzler back in her mouth and approached Isaiah, extending the hand with a bag to him. "Deal." She smiled, the candy still sticking out the corner of her mouth.

Francene breathed a sigh of relief. Since all the attention was redirected to anything but her, she could relax. She looked at the projector again and it shut off with a click. Though she was curious as to what the new kid's wings were made of. She simply stared at the girl's wings and wondered in her head. Was it made of actual feathers? Lightweight metal? Could her nanomites eventually replicate that for her?

"That'd be...r-really cool," Sidnee replied, looking over the sheathed katana in her lap. Truthfully, she'd like to get some sword fighting training one of these days. She always thought she was missing something--that her abilities with a blade weren't quite good enough. Maybe learning from a veteran would help her to find that missing something. She noticed the new figure, Angel, and the odd objects on her back. Were those...wings?

Isaiah smiled and grabbed a twizzler before offering the bag of crickets. Using one hand, he wrapped the twizzler around his finger and popped the curled up wad into his mouth. As he chewed he looked at the girl. "You," he swallowed. "You have pretty eyes." He finished with a smile. "Not everyday you meet someone who's heterochromatic. Or has wings for that matter." He laughed. "Well as the teacher said, we're sharing our powers. Mine's the ability to create poison." Once she took her cricket he would lean back and pop a cricket into his mouth, pausing as he chewed. "Chili and twizzler... not the best combination." He mused as he picked leftover jelly out of his teeth. "But I've eaten worse."

Angel reached into the bag and pulled out a singular cricket, examining it closely. "What's...das chili, right?" The girl looked at some spice that remained on her fingers, and brought the 'snack' up to her nose. "Smells like chili, kind of..." Then without thinking about it for much longer, she put the cricket in her mouth, with a crunch following soon after. Angel munched on it for a moment with a thoughtful expression, trying to figure herself what she thought about the taste. "Never eaten one before...Tastes kinda like...nuts. The spiced ones, you kno?" She finally exclaimed and swallowed. "These are just more...I dunno, cricket-y...And thank ya, but I can't be the most uncommon person ya've met here. Plenty of 'not everyday' stuff round here, no?" The girl smiled, and slowly swept her arm to indicate she meant the Academy. One of her wings smoothly followed that gesture a bit, but it was nowhere close to fully unfold yet. It was like as if someone faintly pulled a curtain.

"Poison? What kind?" Angel inquired, pulling out another candy out of her bag, and biting on it. Isaiah was right, these two tastes didn't mix all that well. She suddenly raised her head and looked around surprised as if she remembered something. Or perhaps realized the stares that were hung on her person. "Mmm... anyone else wants some?" The girl spoke through her teeth, clenched on the twizzler, and then pointed the open side of the bag at people around. She would then come up to someone, with a smile on her face, and offer them a treat anyway. "Go ahead, I don't bite...much." Angel would still pay attention to the boy as he talked, looking his way every now and then, as she was to make a round around the room.
