"How can I be alright? All it takes is one misstake and you'll get a clear view of the park from above"
Saleena rested her head on her knees where she sat, her arms warpped around the legs and her wings tighly against the chimney. She raised her head slightly towards the man and she gave out a sigh, hoping this day would by some miracle just pass and she would return to her bed once again, where she could harm no one else than herself.
" Hey and umm ... if they do hit me its ok cause i know ill live and i wont be mad cause it was a accident." He slowly walked toward her " i know what it was like for people to mess with me in school , i never had wings but they treated me as if i had horns coming out of my head." He remembered a certain day of school " you gatta understand that if people dont like you then who cares about them !? there are plenty of people that like you " He realized he was getting to comfotable talking around her as if she was just another adult. BUt he didnt care. " you just got to bite the bullet and take it one day at a time and it will be over before you know it." Akiba still had nightmares about being picked on in school and its been years since.
"You do not understand! They are RIGHT!"
Lost in her frustration, her wings spread despite being pressed against the chimney, and did so with such force that the chimney behind her was ripped out of the reinforced concrete and sent across the roof. Her wings spread as wide as they could, due to the fact that not even she could restrain their strength when she turned emotional.
"You have been bullied on, but I have been tormented. At least you did not have to worry about the safety of others. I have injured so many with my wings trough my life that I am just waiting for that one time when the victim will not get back up again. I've been lucky, that's all. They are all right. I am a freak. A reckless, loose canon"
"You are not the only loose Canon around angel"
Peter said silently though still clear enough to be heard, he had been following the discussion between them silently and first now felt a need to speak out
"we all have abilities that we have a hard time gaining control over Angel that is one of the main reasons for being here learning control, and sitting in a cornor being afraid of accepting one selve is a dangerous step to not get those abilities under control"
All the time he had been talking Peter had been making his way towards the two persons on the top of the stairs, now he stopped a few steps beneath them silently observing them.
Billy sat on his bed with music playing softly. He looked up at the ceiling and just laid there motionless. He decided to ditch the rest of the school day and wanted to go find some fun whether to be action or "action" if you get my drift. Billy changed out of his school uniform and slapped on some navy blue jeans and a white t-shirt with a red collar shirt over that and with that he headed out.
The halls were pretty much empty which didn't bother Billy one bit. He would head to the closest town about a mile or two from the school which was no problem at all. All Joel had to do was harness his celestial energy into his legs and he could outrun a car and be there in just a few minutes. As Billy continued to walk down the hall he heard a strange sound and that's all he can remember for a chimney crashed on him knocking him out cold.
"I have no abilities. I am no angel. I am a freak of freaks. A mutant without mutant powers. No, I am not even that. Scientists and doctors says I am not even human. How pleasant does not that sound"
She lowered her head with a sigh, resting it against her arms that rested over her knees. Her wings was reaching straight out in both directions, flapping discreetly and slowly.
Derek turned to the group.
''This is vital I am alone with him.''
He looked straight at Alice.
''Don't worry, I know what I am doing. e won't hurt me nor you. Please, I will meet with all of you later. It's part of my studying of cyborgs. I will not do anything illegal. Besides, we're both students''.
He looked atthem, and his face left no place for arguing.
Alice thought for a while, then sighed. Jena could always repeat the process if he turned hostile. She forced a smile towards Derek and then placed her arm over Jena and Andrew, starting to walk away from the scene: "Very well, but be careful. Be careful and do not power him up too much, or he might become overconfident and a danger"
Derek nodded.
He waited until all of them were out of vision. He then took Mikeal's body, and trashed it into the nearby forest.
Using nature's energy, he was able to heal Mikeal. Dead plants all arround him, he filtered the vegetal energy, connected to earth, and passed it to Mikeal. He did not completely listen to Alice, giving him enough power to sustain a fight. He had to, if he was going to perform what he would.
At last Mikeal opened his eyes. And Derek, looking back, making sure that no one could see them, spoke:
''So, you are Mikeal. Impressive. Go tknocked up by a mach sonar, I've heard. Just brilliant.''
Derek's character changed. He had to be menacing.

"A very beuatifull freak Angel"
Peter calmly responded.
"Also some power manifistate slowly and over a long time others manifest quickly, don't be quick to judge yourself too hard there are still plenty of times for you to gain more even though I must admit I doesn't see what you need more then the wings"
Peter looked with a glimt in his eyes at the destruction behind her, and then in admiration at the slowly flapping wings.
"all you need is control and that control will the school give you else there was no reason to be here"
Derek got surprised by the cunning speed. But he didn't laugh this time. It was serious. He could die, and that was out of the question. His ambitions would not let him.
''I see''.
Sensing, he was able to focus on the gravity force surrounding Mikeal. He made it from normal 9,81 to a high 196,2. At 20 times higher, Mikeal's knees hit the ground as he let Derek go, gravity cushing him down on the floor.
Derek only watched him struggle for a time, posing his back on a tree.
''You are very unlucky, Mikeal. Yesterday, what you just did would probably have killed me. But not anymore.''
Derek walked arround him.
''I must say you have particularly good skills. Divine even. And I bet I haven't seen the half of it. Let's not let this go to waste.''
Derek stopped.
''At this moment, you have a chance to die, or live. I am kind in allowing you to choose before I do. If so you wish to live, you will listen to my proposition. And then again, you will have a choice of escaping today without helping me if it is your will. Do you not say you have free will in this? What say you to my propostion?''
"I do not see why I even need the wings. I can't fly, you know. I can't fly, even though it is against all laws of physics not to be able to fly with wings such as these. They are strong enough to hold up my weight, wide enough to allow me to lift myself and feathered enough to not let any air pass trough and yet, YET I can not use them to anything else than hurting people. I requested surgery, but was declined"
Saleena sighed, turning to look at Peter. She was very appreciative over his attempts to cheer her up, but it felt like this day just could not get any worse. She folded her wings to her back and wiped the tears of her eyes and cheeks.

"You couldnt kill me even if you wanted to, but I am listening. A deal is never out of the question, depending of course on the intentions. But before you start trying to disprove me wether or not you can kill me, your gravity powers are not sufficient. Nor will your other four elements or your abilities over time do you any good": Mikael did not even try to struggle, obviously interested in hearing what the man had to say.
Billy slowly regained consciousness observing the fallen debris. He stumbled to his feet just to fall back down. He felt the top of his head where the fallen chimney struck him and felt blood. Billy looked at the blood now on the palm of his head just sitting in the courtyard now trying to stay awake. It was harder than he thought. Billy lacked any healing abilities and started to drag himself across the courtyard. He couldn't even feel his lower body.
Billy dragged himself about two feet before passing out again.

"A lot of us here cannot see why we need the powers we have been given Angel"
Peter looked at her with something that could be called a small smile on his face but it quickly vanished and none could really tell if it had ever been there.
"You cannot use your wings because you cannot control them probably, that is the reason, if you could then you wouldn't attack people at random but have full control, and how would it feel to have removed the only thing that could give you total freedom? flying around as one please"
Peter looked at her whipping the tears away, she was sorry for her power she shouldn't be Peter looked down at his hands, inside him there also grew a power he had absolutely next to no control over, the very second he got upset the power reacted and it had only gotten worse over the years and now it seemed to get more worse with every day. He looked up at her face.
"do you mind if I take a closer look at your wings?"
Seeing that Mikeal wasn't trying to resist, Derek let the gravity force arround him dissapear. He smiled.
''Perhaps not yet, Mikeal, but in time even you will learn to fear me... or please me.''
Mikeal was happy that Mikeal tended to the pacifist side. He could not have held on the barrier for much longer. Yet, it was his first try, and he was happy about it. It would not end here, he would push his abilities to extremes... he just needed time, and time he had.
Deciding not to confront Mikeal again, because of his present weak state, he decided to subdue him by logic and pride.
''You androids take pleasure in what is rationnal, what is concrete and logic. Your position towards me now proves it. Listen then to what is to follow.''
Derek sat down.
''A murder occured in this school, leaving some wondering if a school of heros was appropriate. It only demonstrates the incompetence of teachers and guards to defend the students. And it is normal, them being completely outnumbered. What I propose is... to help them, in our own way.''
Derek knew he could not convince Mikeal with such talks, he would have to twist his words.
''I have a friend, and myself, who are training in order to attain limitless powers, that combined could secure the school from any harm. A harm that others could bring... on us, even you. No one is truly safe, that is why everyone takes a party sooner or later. I'm giving you the chance to associate with us, who will soon rule the school's security in shadows.''
He looked at Mikeal in the eyes.
''Of course, that would leave you the freedom to do anything... if nothing ever came back your way to punish you...''
