Gwen is approached by a young pale student, The student introduced herself as Kaida, and asked for help learning to fly. After learning of the girls powers Gwen went outside with the girl to teach her to fly. First we need to do a few tests.
"Try to grow just part of your dragon form, like maybe just your wings or tail" she says calmly.
"um... alright" kaida closes her eyes and tries to sprout her wings, at first Gwen thought nothing happened, then the girl turned around trying to see if it worked and Gwen noticed two tiny bumps in the back of her shirt. Well, she did grow wings, just not the right size.
"well you have wings they are just too small." Gwen tells the girl
kaida blinks "oh"
"try visualizing your dragon form's wings, and focus on feeling your wings growing, to the size they should be for your human form"
Kaida closes her eyes and takes a breath and her wings slowly expand, until kaida has to take her jacket off, and manages to get stuck, needing gwen's help once the jacket is off kaida's tank top allows her wings to slide out the sides, it takes nearly an hour for her wings to reach even half sized. gwen grins "for now thats fine, let yourself have a while to get used to the new balance, then we can add weights to them to make your muscles stronger. "
kaida blinks "I have to walk around school with wings?" she blinks "the other teachers wont mind?"
"they shouldnt, if they do have them come see me about it, ill take the blame." she smiles "dont practice any more today, you've done that enough for a while. just relax. go hang out with your friends"
kaida blinks trying to remember where all her friends are
"There's nothing I can find wrong with anything you have cooking, Lee. And I can respect that you and your team want to do this alone. That's how you gain experience. I and the other teachers will stay here and moniter things," Julien said.
"But as a condition, I'm asking that you kids keep in contact on a reg. That means that every hour, myself or someone other person in charge should hear something from someone who can speak for everyone else. And I have a little something for you guys," he finished.
Knowing what Julien was getting at, mainly because it was discussed with him, Ben interrupted, "Hitosu, before the team leaves, I would like to make sure that you are well enough to go on this mission. With everything that has been going on and the various forms of energy spikes, I would not want to hear that you have passed out again. So before the team moves out, you get the ok from one of the nurses."
"Okay, okay. Now that that's outta the way..." Julien went over to one of the various consoles and pressed a button that caused a wall panel to slide open. A light had come on and revealed a bunch of black and white uniforms. They were all the same style, yet slightly different in design.
"Are these for us," Caleb asked, walking over to the panel.
"The Heroes and I thought that you guys could use a little protection when you were out on your missions," Julien said. "There's one for all of you on SF. Their all made out of an enhanced material that acts as body armor and can change shape to fit your form. They are bullet-proof to a certain degree, heat and cold resistant. They can also diffuse various impacts and blade attacks to a degree. So go on and take one."
DJ walked over next to Caleb and had a giant grin on his face as he picked up one. It was a black two-piece set with black fingerless biker gloves white combat boots. Picking up the top, which was a black vest with three white pockets on each breast and looked much too small for his rather large form, he put it on. Sure enough, it stretched and reshaped itself to fit him.
"This is so awesome." He picked up the pants and stretched them and it was like the material was nothing more than gum. The pants appeared to be cargos with more white pockets and had two white streaks running down the side of each leg.
Caleb looked through the rest of the uniforms and saw that they were all made of the same material; something that looked like leather but was sturdy like cotton. His was a basic one. Just a short-sleeved, skin tight shirt and pants with a single white streak running down the left side of both the shirt and pants. The boots were combats as well but they came up to the middle of his leg.
When Uriah picked out his uniform, his face fell. "Are they all skin tight? I don't wanna walk around looking like a ballerina."
"Unless you're gonna wear a pink tutu, I think you'll be fine, kid. You'll be saving lives so no one is really gonna be paying attention to what you have on," Julien replied.
Uriah let out a large sigh and picked up a one-piece, short-sleeved body suit with two white streaks going across the chest. The boots and excercise-type gloves were both white.
"Some choice for a guy that's worried about looking like a ballerina," Caleb laughed.
"Shut up, man. There's not much to choose from here."
"Um-hm," was all Caleb said.
All of the uniforms had a white belt with the school's emblem on the buckle.
Julien then said, "All of you need to get use to your uniforms cause you well wear them on every mission from now on. They are your secondary defense with your powers being first."
Gaku walked out of class and out to the yard when he noticed Kaida doing something. She seemed done so he continued to walk over to her and waved happily at her. "Ciao Kaida whats up what are you up to" Gaku liked Kaida manly because she seemed nice but also because they had very similar powers. But Gaku seemed a little jealous of her the fact being that she could turn into a full Dragon and he couldn't only in parts. She seemed cool to him and he wanted them to be great friends.

Gaku was happy when Kaida said partial dragon form that came natural to him but turning full was a future goal for him. "Partial Dragon ]thats my specialty... It's also the most dragon i can go right now. Well I can do partial dragon of every part of my body if you want i could help, Anything for a friend." Gaku smiled at Kaida happy to help if she needed it he was a nice person at heart but can be a total a$$hole too.
DJ began to follow Leon’s lead into the next room. It didn’t take a psychic to tell he was enjoying this uniform. “Let’s get a move on people. We are destined for great things.” Truth was he wasn’t thrilled about doing this without Katt’s help. Deep down inside his stomach felt like it was turning inside out . * This is what being a hero is about anyway. Never becoming complacent. On the bright side he wouldn’t be alone.”
Sam took one of the smaller uniforms, it was a two piece all black with with black boots and white belt. She quickly wiggled into the skin tight pants and slid her skirt down then she put the jacket over her white dress shirt and zipped it up ending at the bottom of neck finally she put on the white belt which was a nice touch. She took a once over herself and then looked at Leon "I'll stay behind but what for?" she asked.
Hitosu looked at the Uniform with angst *I'm going to fight horrible with these on and my aura might be tightened out due to the restrictions i would have I'll have to make it work though* He thought
Hitosu took the his parts of his uniform and started putting it on "This is going to be hard" Hitosu spiked up his hair a bit also so it wouldn't drag in his face *Ok i'm ready*
He went to the meeting point waiting for everyone else
(Thats how he looks minus the sword)
7 PM
Ricardo stumbled along the top of the stairs, and as he finally reached the last step, he goes for the nearest wall and leans against it in order to rest himself. His patience grew thin and he did not feel like going all the way to his room so he can let loose all the stress of what he has heard today. Every single teacher, intimidating him with very difficult tasks for each class and an assload of work and material to cover. This is just about the treatment telepaths receive...Ricardo wished he was a magician at the moment. He shook his head after opening his eyes and then rubbing them. He sighed with his bag over his shoulder and his book beneath his armpit. He began dialing the code of the door by the knob with his other hand and caused the door to automatically open at the last combination. He walks in and felt the biggest weight lifted off of him as he enters his room for the first time in so long. It felt so good to see it after a long hard day. At least he only had classes Monday and Wednesday. The rest were all days to use to study.
Ricardo dropped everything, and without closing the door, he jumps onto his queen sized bed and stuff his face into his pillows with his legs hallway off the mattress with arms under his pillow. He kept his eyes closed and rested for a long moment before turning to his alarm clock, seeing that is 7:10 PM. He sits up on the side of his mattress and then gets on his feet. He stretches and walks over to his laptop. He open the cover and turns it on. As the operating system initiated the usable portion, he opened his music library, played some modest mouse at a normal volume that not many outside the halls would notice, and went online to begin looking up with assignments for a few classes where the teacher was too much of an ******* to even print out a syllabus. He covers his mouth as he yawned as he receives an instant message webcam request from a girl in one of his earlier classes. He opened it and waved at his webcam to acknowledge her.
This was distracting Ricardo...and he did not mind for now. Although, a few minutes later, the conversation was cut short as he kind of rejected her wish for a conversation and ended the chat as he went back to going over his assignments, planning on beginning the first ones in the list.
Bennu wandered the halls of the school, simply looking around after her class ended. Idly stroking a finger across the wall, she began to consider herself. It was the first chance she'd had in a while to really think about things. What really happened at that party? she thought. That was when her new ability, Empathy, they called it, had manifested. But that still just brought more questions than answers, especially since she hadn't been able to anything like it since. And why Empathy? she wondered. Lifting a hand, Bennu made it glow just to assure herself that the powers she knew about were still intact. She cut it off quickly, before any more power could leak out and wrest control from her. She was far enough from Pryce that it was a risk. With a small effort, she got back to her original train of thought. Who was I empathizing with? she asked herself. She still didn't remember anything about what had happened, other than the emotions themselves. There had been so many Bennu thought she had gone insane. She sighed and shook her head. Ben had said the problem was taken care of, so there was no need to worry about it.
After a while, Bennu made her way back to the room. She stopped short when she saw Pryce was with Okazu, but started again when she noticed he was a kid. She came into the room smiling, and said, "Why hello there! My name's Bennu, what's yours?"
After a long day of classes Jade roams the halls. For the first time in a while she felt as if a true challenge had began to arise and it had called her name. Over and over the thought of each class would appear in her mind and she executed a swift motion of thought through each of them. As the first class appeared in her mind she created a fictional check mark in her mind to assume the role as "complete" for the days class. As it continued on, she marked each class as it came. Her second class was named "complete" as well, continuing on still. Finally after clearing her mind of each one she came to the conclusion that she had accidentally let her genius intuition show, having finished all the work for her first day despite the advanced courses. But then a negative thought appeared in her mind... What would people think of they found out that she blew through the classes like they were a breeze. Even for only the first day of school they seemed remotely childish to her and the challenge that she had desired to exist there had began to disappear. But then she began to think more about her classes and she remembered the voice. She wasn't there for the challenge a teacher could give but the challenge the school had in general. She had to learn how to control her powers as well as help in anyway she could, but with a lack of knowledge comes a lack of power. She thought over again what she had to do. Within her mind, a seemingly endless vortex of knowledge had began to unwrap, then unfolded faster than a blinking eye can even flicker. She slowly raised her hands once again as a bright sphere began to shine in front of her body. "I have little power as it is now, but if I learn to control it... If I learn to tap into the vast reserves of strength that lays inside of my body like the others do here, maybe I can learn more about the truth in myself.." Jade thinks more to herself. She opens her eyes and looks at the sphere, then lowers her hands once again, staring for a few moments. Finally, she extends her right hand out to the sphere and it begins to shine brighter. The sphere shatters but moves into fragments which seem to form a scaled digital-style model of the entire school grounds. She is looking for people, different people, for different reasons. Who was first on her list to visit? She thought about earlier this morning and nodded her head.
She had agreed with herself on her own priorities and the map of the school had shattered once more but this time the fragments had faded. Jade pulled herself together and secured her bag as she made for a separate hall rather than the approved one. She seemed more in a sly mood as she made her way through the hall, almost as if she had the intent not to be caught. Finally, she approached her target... the room of someone whom she felt an interest in. She stopped outside their room and laid against the wall for a moment to keep herself in control. Most of her encounters with this person so far during the day have become a bit unpleasant, though she has a different list of objectives for the school. With her confidence being maintained at its present level, Jade nods to herself and moves her hand out, lightly knocking at Ricardo's barely open door for a request to be acknowledged.
Ricardo was in a total state of concentration when answering these difficult multiple choice questions in a mini quiz he had to complete for homework while the sound of his favorite album was being played by the band currently playing. He nodded his head while he looked into these questions like he would look into the eyes of a human when reading their internal conscience. Right when he had the exhibiting scenario drawn in his head for this same question, he concentration was completely shattered by a knock on his door. Now his mind automatically switched to something completely different. His senses...And it was Jade. He quickly replied "Come in". He kept his eyes on his screen, with a blank expression, trying to show that he was doing his work but once she she would enter, he would turn to her and get up with a friendly greeting, suitable to an acquaintance.
With a fearful knowledge of having interrupted during the time that he was doing homework, Jade entered Ricardo's room. Once inside, Jade bowed to him, keeping herself calm and seemingly with a blank expression in hope that she can speak to him without having aggravated him. "Good evening, sorry if I am interrupting" Jade says with a bit of a nervous tone. In mere seconds her eyes catch a complete glimpse of the room and the detail of it is spread through her mind; adding data fragments through a perception produced blank room. Though her eyes do not move to look at the room, the fragments of memory in her mind produce a visual image of the layout of Ricardo's room. She now knows and sees everything inside of the room around her without turning to it; one of her useful non-power abilities. With this, she moves her hands behind her waist, placing her left hand at her right with her fingers lacing, a bit nervous to be in this room at the moment. "You are... struggling with your homework?" She asks curiously. "Would you like any assistance...?"
Ricardo was a bit puzzled with the offer of being helped with his homework. Even though these were pretty tough classes, Ricardo was more than confident that he can get this all done on his own. He titled towards his computer with a tight smirk and looks into Jade's eyes. "It's pretty tough material though...But I appreciate your offer to helping me. Though, I wouldn't want to get in the way of your own studies. I really wouldn't." Ricardo said as he pulls out a seat for Jade that was right by the his desk. He knew of the struggles that students go through in this academy and supposed them all to be pressured with such tough classes to their level of ability. Right before sitting down on his computer chair, he hesitated. "Oh and that reminds me." Ricardo turns his chair towards the desk, picks a container off and pulls out a ten dollar bill. He turns back to Jade and hands it to her with both hands, he the urge to chuckle. "This is for helping me out today. I think it's fair if I payed you back and soon as I can." Ricardo insisted on Jade taking it.
