Tyson Jackson's Story

Ty's eyes shot open as his the sound of his alarm clock woke him up. Ty slammed his hand around the nightstand to try and find the snooze button. "Damnnit." Ty groaned before he just ripped the clock out of the socket it was plugged into. He laid back down and covered his head with his pillow for a minute before he realized he needed to get up.
Ty quickly threw on his clothes, packed up a small backpack with clothes, and things he would need, and he took a pack of cigarettes out of his jacket pocket. He took one cigarette out and placed it in his mouth. He touched the tip of it and all that was needed to light it. Ty tossed his jacket over his shoulder and opened his bedroom door. On the other side his mother was about ready to knock on his door.
"Oh! Good you're up!" She said in a cheery tone. Ty glared at her and brushed past her without a word and went straight into the kitchen. "Ty I know you're mad. I understand you don't want to go, but I think you need this." She said as she followed right behind him. Ty ate a poptart and continued to ignore her. His mom started to say something before the door bell interrupted them.
Ty answered the door, and on the other side was two men in black suits. "Tyson Jackson. We're here to take you to the Academy." One of the men said in a monotone voice. "You have an hour to say you're good-" "Yeah, yeah, G-Men I'm ready." Ty interrupted as looked the men up and down. "I'm so glad I didn't wear my black suit. That would've been awkward." Ty chucked. "Let's roll Blues Brothers." Ty said as he pushed them aside, and walked towards the SUV. Ty tossed his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.
The men got in the front of the SUV, and Ty hopped into the backseat and stretched himself out. Before the SUV drove off, Ty's mom stepped up to his window. "Goodbye Ty. I know it's been hard with your father, and your..........condition." She said trying to get him to say something to her. Ty just looked forward and completely ignored her. "You guys waiting for your prom dates or what?" Ty asked the men. The men looked at each other and then drove off.
As they drove past the large city Ty grew up in, he couldn't help but think of when he first discovered his powers. It was roughly a year and a half ago, and he was in detention, as per usual. That time he was in for pouring sugar in the principle's car gas tank. He was in detention and was trying to throw crumpled up pieces of paper into the sleeping teacher's mouth. When he was about to throw the tenth paper ball, it just went up into flames.
After a drive that lasted for what seemed like forever, they finally made it to the Academy. Ty hopped out of the SUV with cigarette in his mouth. "Well that was a fun road trip." Ty said as he blew a big puff of smoke into one of the men's faces. "Damn, this place is like juvie on steroids." Ty muttered to himself.

Cindy walked through the doors to the check in. The room, while cool, was eerily dark, dimly lighted, with little to no natural light. The air was dusty, and not the good smelling kind of dust that is on old, vintage books. She was shocked that the state of this room is so horrible. She coughed lightly, going over to the counter, where a woman was sitting. She seemed slightly unpleasant, as if she didn't want to be here. I guess that makes two of us.

"Hello. My name is Cindy Mayes."

"Oh, yeah. Let me sign you in." She typed a few keys on the keyboard, looking up at the monitor. She clicked a few options, and looked back at Cindy.

"There. Welcome to the Academy. Here's your key, and your number is A113"

The receptionist grinned a yellow-toothed smile, and continued typing on the computer. Cindy, clenching onto the key, put it in her pocket, and decided that instead of going in her room immediately, she would instead meet some new people. She knew that she would be here a long time, so it would be much better to make friends instead of stay alone in this place. She opened the doors back out to the heat. She found it much better then the inside's cramped rooms, and dusty air. She took off her cardigan, revealing a white babydoll shirt. She placed her cardigan on the sand to stop her bottom from getting burnt, as she watched as the cars came rolling by one by one. Some people came in SUVs, she heard that a few others before her came in police cars! She didn't care too much how they came, they knew that they all had the same fate. Being kept here until they can use their powers properly. She sighed. In my case, I'll be here forever. She thought to herself. She knew that her skills with her powers weren't very good, so she needs to work harder on controlling it. She decided to go over to a few of the people in the cars. She walked over to a particular person with blond hair, and still wearing a jacket in this weather. She had no real reason to do so, but she did it anyway.

"Um, Hi! I'm Cindy. Nice to meet you. Sorry if I'm being too... Well, perky. I guess I needed friends while I'm in hell." She smiled, as she looked at him.

---

---

You have to make an effort to be happy.

"Hey! Why are you out here?! Get back inside!" A guard yelled out from inside. Cindy sighed, as she got her cardigan from the ground and went back inside.

"Um, I'll see you later, possibly!" yelled out to him, waving goodbye. She shut the doors, blinking several times to get used to the dark. She got her luggage and walked up the stairs, to see a corridor lined with cell doors, each with keys and a number. "A113... it should be on the left hand side..." She mumbled to herself quietly, almost inaudible to anyone else. She opened the door, to see a small, cramped room with two beds, two dressers and a small window. To the left of the room was a door to a bathroom. She looked at this place with shock. "It's so tiny! How do I move? How do I walk?! The only good thing about this room is that the walls are soundproof! My bath was bigger then this!" She felt like she could burst into tears, until she had an idea.

She got up and looked at the smaller of the two beds, measuring it with her eyes. She think it will fit through the door. She focuses all of her mind of moving the bed outside the dorm. She focuses all of her power into this one movement, and the bed slowly moves out of the room, taking one step at a time. It was working quite well, until Cindy heard the sound of a bird, and started thinking about the bird species of that bird. She started to lose focus, and the mattress shrank and started flying around the dormitory, mimicking the sounds of the bird! The bed itself turned itself into a different kind of bird, she could tell by the sound it made.

Oh my gosh! That's never happened before... At least I have more space. I'm okay with this. If the mattress shrinks, it shrinks. At least it's out of the way. It will eventually turn back into a bed, so the school won't even know what happened. She thought to herself. She stretched, and went on her way. The mattress and the bed perched on her shoulders, cooing at her like she was her mother, because she kind of is. She decided to go to the mess hall, as lunch was being served.

She looks around the mess hall. She gets her food and starts looking for people to sit with. She decided to sit with two other people.

"Hello, is it okay if I sit here? I'm Cindy Mayes..." She said to both of them, smiling cheerfully.

AAAAH. Double post again ~ IGNORE

She sat at her desk, black hair over her shoulders, a phone to her ear,
"Yes. The little bastards are all here. We have the gate locked, of course, and all security measures have been put into place."
She spoke to someone on the other line, brown eyes staring at the records of all the children currently on the phone.
"Yes sir. All have been documented, and more are due to arrive tomorrow and the next. Yes sir. Goodbye sir."
She hung up the phone and stood, walking out the door into the hallway, he pointy black heels making a loud Click...Click...Click...
She wore a black pencil skirt and a white blouse, with a dark blood-red vest. She glared as she walked down, she hated wretched snot-nosed little brats. Their whining and partying, their sneaking out and graffiti... Everything about them was absolutely disgusting. She walked into the cafeteria, glaring at every student that looked her way. She made it to the center, and stood there, observing everyone. Looking through the sea of faces.

Tyson continued to look over the school from the outside and enjoying his cigarette. Then a very cheery, if not overly cheery, girl came up to him and introduced herself as Cindy to him. Before he could respond a guard yelled at them to get inside. Ty glared up at the guard before he went inside, he needed to get his room key and junk like that. Ty stomped out his cigarette and went inside. He quickly signed in and got his room key.
Ty wondered the halls looking for his room,109A. As he searched he couldn't help but notice this place was more Alcatraz then Ridgemont High. He finally found his room. He opened the door with the key and took a good look inside at the tiny room with two beds, dressers, and a single window. "Wow. Now this really reminds me of juvie." Ty said as he tossed his backpack onto one of the beds.
Ty took out a fresh cigarette and lite it with his finger. Ty placed his iphone on the nightstand next to the bed he tossed his backpack on and started playing various songs by Nirvana. Ty cracked the window open so his smoke wouldn't completely cover the room. As he laid there smoking and listening to his music, he started making a fireball in his hand and began manipulating it into various shapes.

Ty was starting to get bored just laying on his bed and listening to his music. So he turned off his music and decided to look around his new prison. Maybe he could meet some of his fellow inmates.
Ty opened up his door and stepped outside into the hallway, continuing to smoke his cigarette. Ty looked up and down the hall and saw some girl holding a dog, and knocking on one of the room doors.
Ty walked over to the girl and looked her up and down. "Sup? Big Brother actually let's us keep pets around here?" Ty asked as he looked at the dog. "Cute dog by the way."

Being ignored for the moment, Judy sat down with Panther, as her dog sat in her lap. "No matter what, you are my best friend" she said, looking down at Panther.

I know momma Panther said as he licked her face.

As the new kid approached her, she smiled, and shrugged, "I guess, but I don't go anywhere without Panther." she said with a smile. "Yes he's a pitbull, but he's a friendly pit." she said as Panther smelt the new boy. "So why are you here? What's you power?" she asked, looking up at him, petting Panther.

"Panther huh?" Ty said with a bit of a chuckle. "That's a pretty badass name."
"Name's Tyson. But call me Ty. It's short, sweat, and rolls off the tongue." Ty said as he introduced himself. Ty took his lite cigarette out of his mouth and crushed it in his hand. He opened up his and wiped away the ash and showed her his hand without a burn.
Then in his other hand he created a fireball and shaped it to look like Panther. "Yeah I'm a pyro." Ty said as he closed his hand, dispersing the fire dog.

"Yeah, Panther is a badass" she said with a smile and watched as he crushed a cigarette. When she saw no injury, she smiled and nodded, she blinked, and her eyes went from violet, to pink. "Pyro, nice. I can change my hair, and eyes, and I talk to animals" she said with a smile as Panther looked curiously at his hand. "She wants to know if your hand is fake" she said with a giggle.

Well now, at least now he knew what Marshall's power was. And what a way to show it off. As the door slammed in his face he jumped back quite swiftly, didn't want to be caught in the force of the door closing in his face. But unfortunately Jurou's temper was his down side, he could be a bit of an asshole and it would be unfortunate for his room mate to first witness this side to him. He seemed to be asked why he was really following him, as if he were being interrogated. Jurou wasn't liking the way he spoke to him. And so with a muffled short chuckle between closed lips, he turned to face Marshall. Through narrow eyes a cold glare was shot Marshall's way and a rather cocky grin formed on his face. "My my now wasn't that a little rude hey, Marshall." He casually yet confidently made his way over to the male, then leaned down so his eyes were levelled with Marshall's looking deep into them, those emerald eyes, how beautiful they were. His face was quite close now to his, too close for comfort perhaps, but personal space wasn't a concern of his. Sure this guy could probably kick Jurou's ass with an ability like that, but he didn't really care. He was reckless as always. He cocked his head to the side studying Marshall's facial features now that he could see his face up close, then the male seemed to calm his voice. What he said made Jurou feel quite sorry for him. "Someone like you?" Jurou repeated the male's statement back to him. What did he mean someone like him? What was wrong with Marshall? Perhaps he was a little insecure, maybe no one cared about him outside of the school. "Look this is different now mate, it's not like how it is out there with all the normal people, we're different, we're like a huge bloody family of freaks." He paused for a moment, standing up right then taking a step back to give the guy some space, he needed to keep his cool and not be an asshole just yet. "However they treated you out there is different to how people will treat you in here, trust me you can be sure about that." With that said he let out an irritated sigh.

"I was following you because I had nothing better to do, I was curious about if you would go to the pools or not, and you didn't which made things more interesting but then the blonde guy might have caught me stalkin- I mean following you, so I shifted into a cat so he wouldn't notice me but that did the opposite and yeah!" Jurou took in a deep breath, then exhaled. That was a lot to let out. He felt quite embarrassed by this point though. That was when he heard a knock at the door then, was that a dog he could smell? Jurou tensed up and turned to face the door, taking a few steps back away from the door. "I can smell a dog." He said with a bit of a quiver in his voice, he gulped nervously, he really didn't like dogs and so he casually stood behind Marshall, acting like he wasn't standing there because he was afraid but because he just wanted to stand there. But it was obvious he was afraid. He then began to wonder what happened to the blonde guy and the others. What did they think of him now? Well technically they didn't know what he truly looked like. So that was a relief. Unless Marshall told them 'hey this is that cat guy' then that would be quite embarrassing for him.

“But I did go to the pool, then I came back and relaxed for a while before I ran into Utrien. Shit, I must’ve gone invisible again at some point like I did in the pool and you just didn’t see me.” He released the door. “Sorry for going all psycho on you, but like I said it’s not a normal thing for anyone to take notice of me. It’s all a little new is all I’ve made more friends today than I have in the past… …well ever.” He sighed a little and his eyes watered a little bit. “It’s kinda overwhelming, ya know? I let the door go you‘re free to go” he said wondering why he had all of a sudden hid behind him, then remembered the dog. “I’m gonna go see if I can salvage what I started. Cool powers by the way, I love cats, but I could never talk my parents into getting me one.” he said with a smile. He opened the door and walked around the people gathered there and closed it quickly so the dog wouldn‘t get in. He made his down the seven doors to Mike’s room. He knocked on the door. “Hey it’s me, Marshall, can I come in?”

Utrien woke up to two people conversing and a dog right in front of Marshall's door. Weird, you would have thought they'd notice a guy sleeping on the floor. He propped himself up on to his elbows. Tilting his head, he felt concern for the cat inside the room. Wouldn't they feel uncomfortable with the dog outside? He scared the poor cat already, they probably won't trust him either.

Utrien watched lazily as Marshall exited the room and went for Mike's room. Utrien stood up and dusted himself. Well the least he could do was make it easier on the guy inside.

Turning to the two outside. He attempts to strike a conversation, maybe he can get them a reasonable distance away from the door so that whoever's inside can feel comfortable.

"Excuse me, but there is currently a distressed cat inside. The dog might not be helping," he said this in a calm voice that sends a message of trying to help, not offend. "I haven't met you guys yet. Hello my name's Utrien, it's great to meet your acquaintances." He has an easygoing voice and outer appearance that gives you sense of comfort and go with flow vibe.

Judy jumped when the door opened. "Oh, Panther here just wanted to say hi, and bring him fish if he wanted it, Panther likes cats." she said and extended her hand, "I'm Judy, and this is Panther" she said with her hand still extended. "If I held Panther, would that make the cat feel better?" she asked as she picked up the 95lb Pitbull and held her like a baby.

"Everyone's a critic." Ty responded to her asking if the hand was fake. The door that they were standing outside of, for whatever reason, opened and some guy walked out and pretty much ignored them.
Then some blonde guy that was sleeping in front of the door woke up and introduced himself. Weird that he didn't notice him. "Sup Utrien?" Ty responded back to his introduction. "I'm Ty. Just passing by."
"Well since I don't have a hamster or any other kind of animal to add to this, I'll be on my way." Ty said as he took a fresh cigarette out. "Well nice to meet ya' Utrien. And it's been a pleasure Judy." Ty said as he winked at Judy. Ty created a small flame out of his index finger and used it to light his cigarette. "Later Panther." Ty said as he patted the dog on the head and walked away.

The guy, Marshall, was pretty weird. Wait he just realised that he had treated him like a criminal, 'alright you're free to go' what the hell was that? He wouldn't listen to that guy, even if he wasn't allowed to go he'd just kick the damn stupid door down, or Marshall, either one would work. He was kind of pretty annoyed now thinking about how he was a bit of a push over just now. Well at least he liked cats, that was good at least. Not that he cared if he did or not, Jurou was still in a foul mood.

Okay now the next problem, opening that door. Slowly and hesitantly he approached the door, grabbed the handle, slowly turned it and opened the door ever so slowly. He saw the male who had chased him when he was a cat standing there, also a blonde male and a female holding... a... dog! Jurou stood there like a frozen idiot, he looked like he just got out of a fight with his shirt all messy, lazily laying on his shoulders, his jeans weren't done up properly which would explain why they felt like they were falling down a bit. His shoes weren't even tied up either, hopefully he'd notice that eventually to avoid the possibility of tripping on his shoelaces, that would be terrible. "Um." Was all he managed to stay as he couldn't look away from the dog, then the animal lover, oh god. Maybe he should just go back into the dorm, perhaps dig his way out with a spoon. Wait he didn't have a spoon, dammit.

After the introduction, Utrien noticed the somewhat distressed look on Jurou's face as he opened the door. Did he perhaps have a bad experience with dogs. He blinked and noticed that Ty is leaving, he waved as he left. It was interesting to meet a Pyromaniac.

Now feeling calmer, he asked as he turned to Jurou with a concerned expression veiled behind calm eyes."Pardon me," he paused to look at the dog with a happy expression."does the dog bother you?" He didn't mean to sound insensitive, he just couldn't help but feel calmer and happier with animals around.

Rayne finished her soda, and threw away the can. Making her way down the hall, and outside in the front where now, It was pouring with her grey mood. She stood under the small overhang and lit up a Pyramid, looking out over the desert. She looked up onto the wall, a camera sat staring back at her, she made a face and flipped off the camera. It was a tad bit weird to have cameras in a school in the middle of no where. She dropped the cigarette, and listened to the sizzle of rain hitting fire. A bright streak of lighting lit up the sky and was followed by a rumble of thunder as she reentered the building.

She made her way down the hall and entered her room, grabbing a writing notebook and a pen. She exited out into the hallway locking the door behind her, and found a good spot in the hall to sit. She brushed the hair out of her face as she slid on headphones, and set it to a loud rock song. It sounded slightly inside the hallway, but she couldn't notice as she began to sketch a map of the school that she had seen so far.

She drew the lobby, adding little notes beside some pictures and put in points of interest, and marked the do not enter hallways as a point of interest, drawing question marks on each. She had seen a lot of detectives do this, and she had always wanted to be a detective, so why not try now?

Ty continued to wonder around the dorm halls, until he started to get hungry. On his way to the cafeteria he saw some white haired guy dragging some redheaded girl along. Ty gave them a bit of a strange look, but he doubt they noticed him. Ty followed behind them at a distance but close enough to be within earshot. He over heard the guy say something about meditation and teaching.
"Sup? Name's Ty." Ty greeted the two as he blew a big puff of smoke from his cigarette. "I couldn't help but over hear something about meditation and teaching. Do one of you need help controlling your power? I might not be extremely skilled with my thing, but if you need some help I do have a few tips and tricks." Ty said. "Especially if your powers are affected by anger."

”Hmm? Oh. That. Sure. I’ll teach you sometime soon, I’m going to need it eventually here in a few. Caelan had looked back at her with a reply, letting her know that she wasn't the only one on edge with the current events unfolding before them. She was starting to feel a little claustrophobic in the room, as if it were getting hard to breath. Was it really the amount of people walking in or was that her fever getting worse. She ignored it as best she could. The girl with the unsettling pretty looks spoke up with an answer to Desires question. Thankfully she hadn't moved or walked into the room, regardless of Desire welcoming her into a room that wasn't hers. That seemed to be turning into a trend apparently. Kat had a feeling no one really remembered whose room they were currently in. She would have to set some very very VERY solid ground rules the next time people came over. Her future plans were pushed aside as Venom spoke in a hesitant manner. "I...Can talk to animals." Now that was a power that did not match it's owner and that was a voice that did not match her previously confident persona. Her looks didn't say animal lover but then again non of the people in this room had any physical evidence of what they were capable of. She knew for a fact that she didn't look intimidating, to some she might even look delicate like a doll. A doll with a hell of a temper and a big mouth, but a pretty doll nonetheless. Still, something was very off about this girl.

Before more thought could be put into it...yet another person peeked their head out of the corner of the door. "Excuse me, did I hear you say you can talk to animals?. I hope non of ya'll mind a Pitbull in here, she won't bite." Another girl just walked right into their room followed by a small dog. Seriously? Kat didn't know if sighing and collapsing on he bed or raging at everyone to get the hell out would matter. Somehow both sounded useless in an attempt to make a difference right now. Either way she had enough of it and was about to comment on the rudeness of it all but Caelan beat her to it. Would she ever get to say something without an interruption today? ”Nope! I’m done! Too many people in this goddamned room, I need to think. Don’t touch anything when you leave, or you’ll be paste when I find you!” Surprisingly, she didn't mind this one interruption because he basically said exactly what she was about to say. Then he did something she was not expecting at all. He grabbed her wrist and half dragged half pulled her tiny self out of the room. They bulldozed through the two girls near the door, shoving the newest girl to the side on their way out. Kat was too stunned to say anything, he looked as annoyed as she felt a few seconds ago. He was even grinding his teeth as they walked, somehow she found that kind of cute in a way a kid with a tantrum and pouty face would be cute. He kept dragging her along and her already dehydrated self started feeling a little short of breath at the speed they were going, the fever clearly having an effect on that. After a few more moments of walking he stopped. She sighed in relief, glad for the pause in movement. She wasn't out of shape but her body felt like she just ran a marathon, she tried to not how it as best she could not wanting to seem weak.



”Sorry. But I need to meditate. So I’ll teach you while I’m practicing it myself. I can’t take that stuff after too long. Y’know?” She looked up at him with a slightly pink flush on her face from the fever. Small breathless pants escaping her rosy lips. She swallowed, trying to catch her breath. Once she did she looked to the side and spoke up." It's fine. I wanted to get out of there anyway. Way too crowded. Seriously what is with them...acting like they own the plac-...." She paused for a moment. An alarming thought occurring to her. She opened her eyes wide as if genuinely concerned and spoke in a soft voice. "You...aren't going to make me float like you were right?...." She tugged on the edge of her dress and pulled it down, her face getting even more red at the thought of him peeking at her dress. Her arm trembled in embarrassed rage, about to move to slap him when someone came up behind her from out of nowhere and spoke. "Sup? Name's Ty. I couldn't help but over hear something about meditation and teaching. I might not be extremely skilled with my thing, but if you need some help I do have a few tips and tricks to help. Especially if your powers are affected by anger." Her immediate reaction was to turn around and slap the guy right in the face, half from the motion she had started to slap Caelan out of pure embarrassment and half from the sudden scare that the guy gave her by suddenly showing up out of nowhere. Seriously who sneaks up on people like that. She took a step back as a reflex to get away from the thing that spooked her and ended up bumping into Caelan.

"It's fine. I wanted to get out of there anyway. Way too crowded. Seriously what is with them...acting like they own the plac-.... Kat paused for a moment, as if she were thinking of something. "You...aren't going to make me float like you were right?...." Suddenly, without warning, Katherine turned a bright crimson and tugged at her dress. Had it not been for the dangerous flash to her eyes, he would've she looked very attractive, and cute. Her hand shot up towards him, and his jaw reflexively clenched in anticipation for the blow, when a voice ravaged by years of cigarette smoking, interrupted the moment they were having.

"Sup? Name's Ty. I couldn't help but over hear something about meditation and teaching. I might not be extremely skilled with my thing, but if you need some help I do have a few tips and tricks to help. Especially if your powers are affected by anger."

A sharp crack seemed to almost echo through the hall as Kat slapped the random kid who identified himself as Ty. Caelan took the boy's brief moment of distraction to grab Kat's hand once again and continued their journey to the cafeteria. Before leaving Ty, Caelan created a five foot gravity well around him, which would dissipate after 10 minutes. The well magnified the gravity around itself for a two foot larger radius to six times Earth's normal gravitational force, essentially locking him in place until the well timed out. When they'd reached an unoccupied area near the cafeteria, Caelan released Katherine's hand and looked her in the eye, getting closer to help drive the point home.

"I wouldn't do that unless you specifically asked me to do that. Do you think I'm that tactless? That's something Mihael would do. Are you okay? You're looking... ill. Do you need to sit down? If we're going to take down this place, you need to get this under control. We'll work on that, okay? Partners?"

Caelan stood back from Katherine and extended his hand. He'd hoped she wouldn't think of him as some kind of pervert again. he had his own standards and reputation to uphold, after all.

Ty was shocked that the girl's first reaction to him was a slap to the face that knocked the cigarette out of his mouth. Before he could even react the guy pulled her away and created some kind of a thing that kept Ty in place. Ty struggled desperately to move, but no luck.
"What the hell!?" Ty yelled out as they walked away. "You assholes!" Ty continued to yell out insults at them until finally he was able to move. Ty quickly ran after them. "Hey ass hats! What the hell was that for!?" Ty yelled as he searched for them.

She blinked in surprise at the sequence of events. Her grey eyes widening as she realized what had happened, that the thing that startled her was a boy. She had unintentionally, accidentally just slapped a random stranger in the face. Well shit. That is so not what I was aiming at. Before she could decide if the incident warranted an apology she was once again pulled away by her roommate towards the cafeteria. The warmth of his hand around hers making her tense a little but not in a bad way. For some reason, probably Caelan's doing, the victim didn't pursue them. The poor guy did however look mildly startled and confused. That expression didn't lat and turned into pure outrage and anger as they turned the corner. She could still hear him screaming insults at them and telling them to stop. Had they just made an enemy? hopefully the events could be talked out and reasoned, unless the guy was unreasonable. Then it would probably lead to a fight, one that she would defend herself in. She was not a pushover and she would not let someone outclass her especially in front of her new ally. When they reached an empty area near the cafeteria, or what she assumed was the cafeteria from what she could see inside from where she was standing, they stopped. Caelan let her hand go and looked at her straight in the eyes, it made her swallow hard half expecting him to yell at her about almost slapping him earlier or something. Instead he got really close, closer than she had ever been to a guy before. "I wouldn't do that unless you specifically asked me to do that. Do you think I'm that tactless? That's something Mihael would do." She could feel the heat coming off his body as he spoke with such determination, his golden eyes locked on her grey ones during every word. She forgot to breath for a moment, it must have made her face an extra dark shade of red because his expression changed to one of concern. "Are you okay? You're looking... ill. Do you need to sit down?"She wasn't about to tell him she had a high fever because of her outburst. It was embarrassing enough that she lost control, there was no way she was going to ask for help. As if guessing her thoughts yet again he spoke.

"If we're going to take down this place, you need to get this under control. We'll work on that, okay? Partners?" He knew she had lost control and didn't look down on her? He wanted to be Partners? She couldn't believe what she was hearing. The boy took a step back, allowing her to start breathing once more, and extended his hand to her in a token of respect for the partnership. She stared at his hand for a good ten seconds before looking up at his eyes. " You want me to be your partner?...Your going to help me get better at controlling my powers?....You would do that?...." She looked back down at his hand, really contemplating it for a moment. This is what she had wanted, what she had been thinking about earlier but she would have never imagined that he would have willingly offered his help. She thought she would have had to spend time training herself to prove her worth, to prove she was worth helping and had enough potential to be useful. So how did she end up in this situation with such a powerful ally in front of her. She wasn't going to keep questioning it a moment longer. She took his hand with hers, hers being a little warmer than it should be but she didn't think about him noticing while thinking about everything else. "I believe you. Especially when you say you are NOT your brother. So....Ok. Partners."

She quickly let go of his hand and looked to the side, the concerned expression on his face making her feel guilty about not mentioning how her powers had side effects that were making her ill at the moment. She spoke in a low voice and tried to seem as if she were perfectly fine." I'm fine...I am just a little thirsty that's all. I haven't eaten anything either. I'm sure if we just get some food I will be ok." The statement was only half a lie, she really did think food and especially water would help her, but she was far from ok. She forced a small smile on her lips and started walking towards the inside of the cafeteria, her vision a little blurry.

Ty was almost boiling over with anger went he reached the cafeteria. Before he entered the cafeteria he took a deep breath, and started humming Stairway to Heaven for a good minute, it helps relax him. Ty entered, and scanned the room until he saw the girl who slapped him and the guy she was with.
Ty calmly walked up to them, this time making sure he was out of arm's reach. "Alright first things first sweetheart." Ty said as he looked squarely in the girl's eyes. "What the hell? Was your dog killed by a greeting or something?" Ty continued. "Second, sorry. I can understand if you're on edge, we're not exactly in the most relaxing situation. I didn't mean to scare you, where I'm from I had to learn to keep my footsteps quiet, it's a habit." Ty then pulled out a fresh cigarette.
"And third, what do you say we just forget about? We're all sitting on a powder keg, and Big Brother's just waiting for it to blow. Being at each others throats isn't going to help anyone. So what do you say friends? Or at least tolerant acquaintances?" Ty asked as he put the cigarette in his mouth. "Oh, any of you want a smoke?" Ty then created a fireball in the palm of his hand and lite his cigarette with it.

After Allison stared at her food, making sure that it was now cold, she began to eat. The food itself was more mushy than it had first looked, but the taste was bearable and could use a lot more spice. She listened at Maya animatedly talked about the other students in the Mess Hall, seeing that many she at least knew in appearance. That was good since Allison had no inclination of trying to learn who they are by talking to them directly, that would mean being near other people and she did not believe she could keep her cool very long. She didn't like being in any kind of crowd and when she was, Allison would start relying on her gift to get her out of it as fast as possible. Riots were a thing that could happen, and they are not safe.

She blew softly on her food just to make sure it was cold, making a pained face when she saw a boy make a fireball in his hand. It was hot enough in the place already without the added heat it gave off. How he could stand it she didnt know but, she was sure she was going to stay as far away from him as possible. You like to know people? I can stay here if you would like to catch up with them.
