|Appearance|
Alex was fortunate enough to favor her father over her mother when it comes to looks. She has his wavy red hair before he began to dye it dark and striking green eyes. The only thing she gained from her mother other than abilities is her strong Tamaranean physique. Other than that, Alex is the female version of Jason when he was young. Alex tends to lean towards a more boyish sense of style since it's more comfortable and also wears her father's old costume with a few upgrades added to it. The helmet now has sight lenses to have a better advantage in the field and she also added some wrist mount blasters to concentrate her starbolts through. Alex keeps blades and guns hidden all of her body and even her boots have knives that deploy. She's a walking arsenal when it comes to weapons and gadgets.

|Abilities|
Super Human Strength|She inherited her mother's strength and it's proven useful in the field
Enhanced Durability|Another Tamaranean trait from Starfire
Peak Human Condition|Alex is at the top physical condition for a human from training and being half alien
Regenerative Healing Factor|Her father was bathed in Lazarus pit to be brought back to life and that trickled down to her and mixing with her Tamaranean blood, she's able to heal at a quicker rate than humans and age at a much slower rate though how fast she heals depends on the amount of ultraviolet radiation she is exposed to
Radiation Immunity|Alex is immune to the harmful effects of radiation because Tamaraneans actually absorb ultraviolet radiation for power and can even leech it off of other beings that utilize it for power
Berserker|This is something very rare that Alex has only ever tapped into twice. Once when her mother forced her to during training and another when her father was taken from her. Tamaraneans are able to tap into a berserker state when they experience intense amounts of anger. They're strength, speed, and durability increase and they become more blood thirsty. Alex hates it.
Plasma Bolt Projection|Starfire and her sister, Blackfire, are the only known ones who can utilize 'starbolts' and this was passed onto Alex. Alex doesn't have the best control over it and has to concentrate it through a source to make it even usable so she uses guns and wrist mount blasters for it
Enhanced Combat|Thanks to both her parents, Alex had a knack for picking up and mastering different types of combat quickly

|Strengths|
Hand to Hand|Combat has always been Alex's specialty. She picks up on it quickly and has even surpassed her father on knowledge of different forms of martial arts
Skilled Scientist and Engineer|Her early childhood was spent hitting the books and becoming smarter. Her father always encouraged her to become proficient in science since it would soon prove to be a valuable asset to her
Hacking|She isn't the best but she is pretty talented at hacking systems and stealing useful information
Assassin|After her father was taken, Alex traveled the world just like he did learning various assassination techniques
Athletics|[I[If she were at a normal school, Alex would most likely be the all star athlete[/I]
Intellect|Alex is smart because she forced herself to be well educated so she wouldn't be seen as just some brute
Quick Thinking|In the field, Alex had to learn to be sharp and quick on her feet in order to be successful

|Weaknesses|
Impulsive|There are times when Alex acts brashly and it can often put her in harms way
Bravery|Some would say she's incredibly brave and others will say stupid. She walks the fine line between bravery and stupidity since she's always putting her neck on the line not really caring what happens to her
Anger|The Lazarus pit than runs through her father's blood and her Tamaranean blood make it very easy for Alex to become volatile. She generally does her best to keep a calm demeanor since she fears getting angry enough to flip into her berserker rage again
Bitterness|Alex has a lot of bitterness from the way her mother has treated her and the way the other members of the bat family look at her
Loner|Alex doesn't really surround herself with a large group of friends. She prefers to keep to herself and keep others at bay
Outcast|Being not entirely human and not entirely Tamaranean along with being the daughter of Bruce's 'failure' has caused Alex to feel like an outcast
Exhaustion|Alex often over trains herself just for the sake of getting stronger even if it means spending nights passed out on the floor
Obsession|Her obsession with being the best and finding her father could very much be the cause of her own demise
Reserved|Alex isn’t one to let people in and always keeps her friends at a safe distance to protect them and herself.

|Fears|
Junior|Alex would never admit she's afraid of him. SHe''l face him no matter what but his insanity and unpredictability actually terrifies her.
Bruce|Alex keeps this to herself but she actually is afraid that Bruce looks at her the same way he looks at her father... A failure.
Going back to Tamaran|Alex hated going there the first time. She never wants to go back.
Losing Jason|Alex is determined to find her father but she’s worried that when she does, he’ll be dead.

Swearing|Swearing is part of her vocabulary.

|Personality|
✦ Reserved ✧ Vengeful ✦ Determined ✧ Brave ✦ Quick Thinking ✧


Alex was once a completely different person before her father was taken from her. She was a bit like Jason in the beginning. She was loud, crude, a bit hot headed, and always voiced her opinion on anything but she was also sweet, caring, and protective. She did wonderfully at Jason's side and always seemed to have a huge group of friends despite being homeschooled. Jason had forced her to read as often as possible and constantly make herself smarter. Alex was never innately smart at anything but she did have a great memory. She also had a knack for science making it easy for her to come up with various toxins and anti toxins for her job along with building her own upgraded tech for her suit.

Everything changed once Jason was gone.

Alex didn't have anyone to push her the way he had. No one who loved her and never turned their back on her despite every sin she's committed. Alex was broken and thrown out onto the streets to start her own journey. That's how her personality completely changed to the way it is now. She's very closed off and doesn't really let people in to see her own darkness. She's vengeful towards Joker and his son for what they did. She's determined to be the best in the business and show Bruce she's capable and not a failure. She's also very brave and willing to put her neck on the line for herself and others.

Alex has still managed to be quick thinking and relatively smart thanks to her upbringing and it's only grown stronger since she spent time traveling and training until Bruce finally found her. Being reserved has also caused Alex to be a bit of a fly on the wall. She stand son the outside and observes others and takes notes on them. Sixing them up, studying weaknesses, and doesn't really jump into something until she feels she's needed or if she happens to lose her temper.

|History|
By now, many at the school have learned of Bruce Wayne's greatest failure... Jason Todd. He had once been the second Robin to Batman until Joker got a hold of him and beat him with a crowbar before killing him. Talia al Ghul stole his body and bathed him in the Lazarus Pit that Ra's al Ghul bathed in as well to keep his immortality but Jason came back different. He would age at a slower rate thanks to the pit and he was at top physically condition without trying but he also became more hot headed and vengeful. Jason was thrown in All Caste to train with the league of assassins before breaking free and returning to Gotham as Red Hood. Jason eventually left Gotham again and spent a year learning various forms of combat and assassination before coming upon Roy Harper(Arsenal) imprisoned in the Middle East. Jason set him free and the two caught word of Starfire being held a slave. The two freed her and Jason formed a team known as The Outlaws.

This new team last for awhile as a group of vigilantes until Jason and Starfire managed to break it apart with one big mistake. Starfire had been dating Roy during the time and Jason was back with Rose Wilson. During an encounter with Dick Grayson, Starfire's true feelings came to light on account of Tamaraneans only being able to fall in love once. Roy noticed this and cut things off with her while Rose decided they needed time apart due to her father being now being part of her life again and Jason's obvious attraction Stephanie Brown who already turned him down numerous times. Jason and Starfire both had one night of passion after they decided it didn't matter. Sex was just sex. Unfortunately for them, protection was not used.

Starfire became pregnant with Jason's child but she did not want the baby because it was not Dick's. Jason begged her to keep the baby and promised to raise her himself and they did just that. As soon as Alex was born, Starfire left her to Jason and returned to her home planet as Queen while Jason stayed and raised his child the way he felt he should have been raised. The Outlaws were finished but Alex's story was just beginning.

Jason began to teach her hand to hand as soon as she was old enough to walk and not too long after that, forced her to read whenever the weren't training. Each book would be more advanced than the last and Alex wasn't allowed to train again or have any fun until it was finished. Jason would usually treat her to ice cream or a movie whenever she finished one and always made sure to set aside time for her outside of training and his double life. By this time, Jason had gotten back with Rose and the two had a child named Jacob that took on after his mother with white hair and blue eyes just like her father, Slade Wilson.

Alex was taken away at a young age by Starfire out of it being a requirement that the technical princess and successor to the throne Alex refused must train on Tamaran just like the princesses before her. Alex hated every second of it. The Tamaraneans treated her like trash for being half human and not possessing the ability of flight just like her Aunt Blackfire. Her mother was even worse considering she spent no time with her and was often cold to her. Alex actually preferred her Aunt over her own mother. At least she understood.

Alex's training on Tamaran was intense. She spent day and night practicing while the others would be taking breaks or socialize. Alex wanted to be on top. She wanted to prove she wasn't worthless and she did just that on her final day of training. Alex had to fight another student and when she was about to lose, Alex unleashed her berserker for the first time thanks to her mother being present and walking off when she saw her daughter was no warrior. Fueled by rage, Alex killed her opponent with ease and passed her exams. She returned home stronger, faster, and a warrior.

But this only made her mother and step mother resent her more.

Rose was the one to train Jacob and typically kept him away from Alex like she was going to hurt him which in turn created a scorned relationship between them. Alex stayed close to her father and soon joined his side as Red X once she was old enough. She joined her father's other job and was completely comfortable taking a life and followed her father's strict code he implemented on her. She could only take the life of a criminal that deserved it. Never the innocent. Alex followed this code to a T and grew even closer to Jason until one awful night...

Alex and Jason were following a lead in Gotham when they were ambushed by Joker, Harley, and his son. They used a strong enough toxic gas to knock out both of them though Alex put up a bigger fight than they wanted on account of her Tamaranean blood. Alex was eventually subdued and the two were changed up. Alex was kept in a dark room with no sunlight in order to weaken her along with being given heavy amounts of sedative. One day, they brought them both out to face each other. Jr held Jason still while Joker began to beat Alex senseless with a crowbar the same way he did to him many years ago. Before she went unconscious, she caught site of Jason being dragged away screaming and she then awoke to Jr sitting in front of her with an evil smirk on his face. He told her she was being set free but she had no idea what was happening to her father. All she could hear were screams and laughter before she was knocked out again.

Alex awoke again on the streets of Gotham with her restraints gone. She had no sign of her father other than a finger laid out in front of her with a ring on it. The same ring gifted to a young boy when he became the next Robin...

Something in Alex snapped.

Alex was completely consumed by rage at this point. Once again she went into her berserker mode and there was nothing anyone could do to stop her. She slaughtered many people that stood in her path. Took numerous innocent lives of all ages and even tried to kill her own brother. Jacob had come intending to subdue her but Alex was much too strong for him. She made a slash at his throat but fortunately didn't cut deep enough to kill him but it was just enough to cause him to go mute. Once Alex calmed down, she went back home to apologize for all that she's done but her family didn't want her anymore. Not one wanted her.

Alex left Gotham and decided to travel the world like her father once did. She trained in various forms of martial arts and assassination techniques along with studying science and engineering. She even would meet with monks to learn how to control her anger. She did take some lives along the way but she only followed her father's code once again until Batman eventually caught up with her. Bruce Wayne brought Alex back kicking and screaming but she did manage to get some good hits on him. He offered Alex an ultimatum... Join the Descendants Academy or rot in Arkham Prison. Alex didn't really have a choice since Bruce enrolled her anyway and forced her to go to school. Now she's stuck here.

Frankie cupped her hands together while rocking back and forth onto her heels. She usually was patient but at that particular moment she wished more than anything that the damned elevator would arrive before someone showed up. If she had her webshooters she could just jump out the window or something else stupid and reckless like half of the others. But generally when going to a party that doesn't cross one's mind. She started chewing on her bottom lip but only for a moment before huffing softly when she heard feet approaching.

"Hiya Frank." Matt said as he came into view beside her, giving her a half smile. "Do you mind if..." He motioned towards the doors.

Frankie's rising tension disipated with a soft smile when she saw it was someone who wouldn't set her teeth on edge. "Oh hey Matty." She brushed her hair behind her ears before nodding. "Yeah of course... As long as we don't talk about the party." She gave a weak laugh and an exasperated smile.

Her attention was then drawn towards Elizabeth who joined them as they waited for the terribly slow elevator. "Weird party, huh?"

Frankie gave an awkward laugh while rubbing the back of her neck. Before she got a chance to reply another person joined the group. "Green is more my color than yours." Her brows furrowed as she crossed her arms over her chest. Junior then leaned over her but Frankie stood her ground not giving an inch while staring straight back up at him. "Though it's not Alex's color either. Maybe that's what Bane sees in both of you."

She'd be lying if she said she wasn't jealous of the kiss shared between the two. It was obvious and even psycho pants over here noticed it but Frankie couldn't fight her urge to defend herself, Nathaniel and even Alex. "Yeah? And red isn't your color... But I still have an urge to see you covered in blood." Her hands moved to rest on her hips as she took a step towards him so her chest nearly pressed to his. "And his name is Nathaniel."

She wanted to smack his crooked little face all down the hallway. It took a lot to get her mad, she usually was as much of a threat as a bunny rabbit, but Junior knew how to press someone's buttons and Frankie was fuming. She was contemplating saying something else, maybe even surprising half the world and slapping the grin off his face but a hand appeared on Junior's shoulder and pulled him back. "Relax, Sergeant. We were just having a friendly conversation."

Freddie moved in front of Frankie separating her from Junior. "Hey!" She jumped to try and look over his shoulder at the Joker who was probably enjoying this way too much. "I was about to kick some major Psychopath ass." She pouted slightly. Was that the truth? Probably not but she felt like she was on a roll.

"So Stark said that I'd be expelled on my first day if I didn't snag a date to the dance and you get to be the luckiest girl here and go with me." Freddie's... order? took Frankie by enough surprise that when she was about to rant some more about kicking Junior's ass she froze her mouth agape just staring up at Freddie. They had been friends for longer than she could count so of course he came and asked her because it took no effort on his part.

Before she had a chance to reply Junior had to pipe up once again, "Oh my.... This night is full of illogical ships."

"That's it!" Frankie jumped, reaching her arms over Freddie's shoulders as she tried to grab for Junior. "I'm going to strangle you with a balloon animal!"

Saved by the bell... Or ding of a slow elevator. Probably J.A.R.V.I.S.'s idea of a joke. Frankie grunted angrily as she entered the elevator, then held it open for everyone... Well everyone except Junior. She put out her hand to stop him before furiously clicking the "close doors" button. "Take a hike before I actually try to kill you." Sure she was mad but she didn't actually try to inflict serious damage. If she did, well it would have happened. Even though she wasn't as strong as her father she was still stronger than any human and contrary to popular belief, Junior was just an insane human like his father.

Frankie glared at Junior as the doors closed separating them. She let out a soft sigh and remained silent in the elevator. She wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone at that point. So once it opened on her floor she mumbled a soft, "Good night." To whomever was on the elevator with her before disappearing down the hall and into her room for the night.

Wren was surprised Christian didn't just about hurl himself over the balcony when she sat down beside him. She wasn't trying to scare him away or instigate the symbiote but just... Be there. "I can imagine...I understand the want to die, the desire for an end. I wouldn't want to last forever...not like this, it would be the ultimate nightmare."

She nodded her head while pursing her lips slightly. "Yeah..." Wren hated the whole "indestructible" part of her life she inherited from her dad. Of course it is, theoretically possible for her to die.... Maybe. But as far as her and her father knew, there wasn't anything yet. So she was stuck to live and keep on living past everyone. That's one thing no one realized about her, why she annoyed everyone. Part of it was just Wren being Wren but another part was to keep others away. It's easier being immortal when you don't have anyone close to you to watch wither away.

When she took his hand, Christian actually looked over at her and smiled, which Wren in return couldn't help but smile back. "If it's any consolation...I am sorry for what I said. When I feel something in the moment I just follow it through. Then sometimes I think I feel certain way but then it ends up being different. These feelings usually start out as something small...then they get bigger, and alot of it is......influenced......But I try to be in control of myself, it just isn't always easy. But...thank you, very much...for everything."

Wren smiled, giving his hand a squeeze and even nudging his shoulder with her own in a playful way. "I'm sorry I made a show of everything... And don't understand the concept of personal boundaries at all..." Her free hand scratched her head as she laughed awkwardly. "... And kissed you..."

As the balcony door opened, Wren quickly withdrew her hand from Christian's like she was caught in the middle of something she shouldn't have been. She cupped her hands together and cleared her throat as Kallistrate stepped out onto the terrace with them. She dug out a hershey's kiss for Christian before speaking, "She's right you know. Friends are crucial, especially doing what we do... Enjoy the chocolate. And if you ever find you have a hankering, I always have some." She smiled towards them both which Wren returned with a slight wave of the hand. "Enjoy your evening." With that Kallistrate went over the edge.

Wren was about to say something most likely sarcastic to lighten the mood but was interrupted by someone else joining them. "Oh, sorry! Night, guys, it was a great night." Mathias gave them a wave before jumping over the edge as well.

"I guess the party's over." Wren looked over at Christian laughing slightly.

Next Kari and Kumiko were at the balcony. At this point Wren was slightly rubbing her temples half covering her face. She wasn't embarrassed to be seen with Christian or anything like but more of the mess she made earlier and the whispers she probably dragged him into unintentionally.

"You are missing some interesting stuff inside." Kari said before climbing up onto the railing. "Great party Wren, as always. Good night guys."

Wren just watched as she too went over the edge. After a moment or two she looked over at Christian with a confused scrunched up face. "Does no one take the stairs anymore?" She then stood up and walked over to the railing, resting her hands upon it before looking over. "I mean damn... I could jump over the edge too but then they'd be cleaning pieces of me up for weeks." She pivoted around to lean back against the railing to look over at Christian. "And a fall like that?" Wren motioned over her shoulders. "I'd be sore for days."

With a sigh, Wren walked over towards him, giving his foot a light nudge. "Thanks for coming to my shit storm of a party." She laughed before offering him a hand. "I'm sure after what I put you through that guy could use some rest."

Wren showed everyone who remained in her penthouse out of the party before J.A.R.V.I.S. got his circuits in a twist. Once everyone was out she groaned seeing how messy her place was. The one down side of being a party monster was the after party, a.k.a. clean up. Considering it was rarer than a hillbilly in wallstreet for Wren to actually be tired enough for sleep, she cracked her knuckles. "Let's get down to business." She then did a couple karate moves in the air while singing, "TO DEFEAT THE HUNS!!" Wren laughed at her own joke, dabbing at the fake tears. "Right? Right?" She looked around and her grin quickly faded. "Oh... Right, I'm alone."





The Next Morning...




Wren spent a majority of the night cleaning up the mess left from the party. With as much as she hated the clean up you'd think she'd stop throwing parties, but that was never the case. By 4 a.m. she was finished. Contemplating what do for the remainder of the evening she made her way over to her book shelf and started fingering through its contents. She knew every book on the shelves and read them all at least 10 times through. All the books had cracked spines, loose pages and looked like they were over a century old. But Wren refused to replace them because the wear just showed her love for them.

While fingering over the spines trying to find the night's winner she stopped upon a peculiar title. She grinned to herself as she tore it from the shelf and made her way over to her desk. Wren dug through her drawers until she found a piece of paper, a pen and... An empty red gift bag? "What the-?" She held the bag while looking up, "Well played 'oh majestic author'... Well played."

After scribbling a message in her almost illegible handwriting, Wren put the note under the cover of the book then shoved the book into the bag. She then headed out of her penthouse and down to Christian's. She wasn't going to knock or anything. Wren wasn't wanting to bug him but wanted to make up for half dragging him to a party he didn't want to go to in the first place.

She stopped outside his door and set the bag on the ground. Inside... a very worn copy of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and inside a note that read... "Can I call you Dr. Jekyll?" Signed, "That annoying red head who doesn't understand personal boundaries." Wren was never very good at apologies. She hoped that this would get a chuckle out of him and not make him hate her more. But this was just how she was.

After leaving the shitty idea of an apology in front of his door, Wren decided not to go back to her penthouse. Instead she made her way down to one of the simulation rooms and decided to train, work out or whatever else she could do to make the time pass.

Frankie was up before the sun was. She honestly didn't know if she ever actually fell asleep or more of tossed and turned in her bed. She didn't know why the events of the prior evening were getting to her so much. But finally she couldn't handle it anymore and got out of bed.

For months she had been working on an equation to figure out the exact last moment she could release her webbing to save herself from a fall. Her father didn't approve of this, with good reason. He thought that experimenting with something like this could end badly for her if she miscalculated. But Frankie was determined to find the solution thinking it could help her, her father and Anansi in sticky situations.

Finally, Frankie thought she found the answer and programed her watch with the equation so that it would use her altitude, acceleration, velocity and gravitational pull to give her a to the millisecond count down of how long she had to deploy the web. This included the time it takes for the webbing to release from the shooters, fly through the air and grip onto a surface above her. But like any good equation it wasn't good until proven accurate with an experiment... And Frankie has always been a little more reckless than her father.

Frankie found her way to the top of the Descendant Tower. She methodically checked her watch while bouncing back and forth on her feet while shaking her hands. "You got this!" She checked her pulse while jogging in place. "It's just like any other jump." She continued taking deep breaths trying not to psych herself out. "Oh for heaven's sake!" Without anymore hesitation she sprinted towards the edge and dove off.

She brought her wrist before her as she fell. Her gaze continuously shifting between the watch and the quickly approaching ground. The digital read out showing... 10... 9... 8... 7...

Enzo slept well past what was probably acceptable and he didn't care. Well that was until J.A.R.V.I.S. decided to make an alarmingly annoying announcement at 10:30 a.m. which Enzo deemed way too early for such disturbances.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Stark and Mr. Wayne wanted me to inform you that you all were given a day of leisure in preparation for the anniversary ball tomorrow evening. You are permitted to travel to town, train or do whatever it is that you all do with your free time. They also wanted me to notify you all that every student, even those who missed the simulation or failed are allowed to attend the dance. Those who previously were not permitted to go will simply be on clean up duty when the festivities have concluded. Enjoy your free day."

Maybe it was the mention of a free day that made Enzo get out of bed or the simple fact that the annoying program already disrupted him beyond fixing. Either way he was in no mood to even get dressed at the time being. He simply walked out of his apartment in just his pajama pants, no shoes or shirt and made his way to the elevator. Once he was on it, he pressed the button for the mess hall level before yawning and slipping his hands in his pockets.

When he arrived in the cafeteria area, Enzo walked towards the buffet still yawning and scratching his bare muscular abdomen. "Any new sad excuses for food?" He looked towards the woman who worked the food counter. She seemed unfazed and emotionless like a statue. No doubt she was more than used to statements like that from Enzo. Sure he could cook his own food in his room but that took effort, so instead he came down here and bitched to the people who dealt with shit heads like him on a regular basis.

"Yeah... Arsenic." She said with a monotonic voice before handing him a plate of his usual breakfast of an omelette and bacon.

"Delicious." Enzo scoffed before grabbing an orange juice and making his way to a table. He probably would have died laughing if there was actual arsenic in his food. They all were too valuable to throw away by poisoning them... Even if they were dicks.

Yesterday's events had thrown off Alex's routine. She spent the rest of her evening catching up on the sleep she got only once a month as that was all her half alien body really needed. She'd then spent the rest of her time training as usual until Grandpa Bruce decided the two needed some 'bonding time' which was code for receiving a lecture over her reaction to Junior before class. Though really she hardly caught anything he said as it all went in one ear and right out of the other while she sat in his office with her signature glare and arms folded. The man was her guardian by law despite being of legal age so why should she listen to him? They weren't even related.

Alex was finally dismissed from his office and had planned to train some more during her free day and maybe even go out for a run if the announcement for the school dance tomorrow hadn't told her otherwise. She did have a date unfortunately though Bane wasn't the worst she could have asked. Bruce was the one who wanted her to go and she did listen only because the threat of having to spend a month in his office wasn't entirely tempting.

She'd decided to go to the cafeteria for to grab a light breakfast and figured she could discuss with Bane their plans for tomorrow if he were there. She had nearly been knocked over with Jai running around like the idiot that he was though Alex couldn't help but smile a bit at the way he landed at Lilith's feet and grinned at her like a fool. That boy seemed to have a knack for making her smile with his little antics and bubbly nature.

Of course things quickly turned sour when someone bit an apple right in her ear. "It looks like your admirer found someone else to obsess over." Alex turned back to see Junior standing right next to her with his Joker look plastered all over his face. "Though you're a bit busy bedding my-" Junior didn't even have the chance to finish his sentence as Alex brought her hand back and hit Junior in the throat causing him to drop the apple as he bent over coughing. "Do you ever shut up?" Alex rolled her eyes at him and quickly got away before he had the chance to say anything further.

Junior finally composed himself though frowned over his apple being ruined. "What a waste of innocent fruit." Junior looked around the room and spotted Enzo and Kain conversing while Lilith asked Jai to walk with her. Junior seemed a bit angered at who Enzo was with though he still did strut over with a smile on his face taking a seat next to Enzo. "Plotting world domination without me?" He smirked and stole a piece of food off of Enzo's plate. "I'm a bit hurt." Junior acted as if he knew the next thing to come out of Enzo's mouth though really he just felt like being the asshole he was. "Enough people were thinking about me so I thought I'd pop in since we do need to go over our arrangements for being crowned at tomorrow's dance. We are the future world leaders after all."

Back in his room, Freddie had awoken early morning hang over free unlike some other human's in the school as he was the only one who didn't drink last night. He morning with a run and followed it with training his body to stay at it's utmost condition. He soon finished and decided it would be a good idea to shower before he attempted to find himself a date to this stupid dance.

Alex waited in the line for what felt like centuries as her stomach made unholy noises for any sort of food. She finally was able to ill up her trays though it seemed more like two stacked on top of each other as Alex already started eating not really caring who saw as she searched for a seat.

Now Alex would have loved to sit all by her lonesome but she did unfortunately need to go dress shopping since she backed herself into he corner of scoring a date for a dance like her 'Grandfather' requested. And of course her merry crew of the Three Musketeers was tied up as Jai was busy with his attempts of wooing Ivy Jr and Wren was out being Wren as per usual. Alex sighed at the realization of who she was stuck with now to bail her out.

Alex three the tray and 1/4 of food left from her walk over to the table and attempted a smile as she put her hands on the table and greeted the three guests. "Hot stuff." She greeted Julia first with a wink and a smirk followed by addressing Theo. "Bolts." She nodded in his direction and finally fell upon dear little Kari. "My sister from another mister... Or should I just call you the other Tamaranean Princess?"

She snorted a laugh as she took a seat and began picking at the remaining contents of her food regretting what she was going to say next. "So the high and mighty Mr. Wayne made me get a date for a stupid dance and I hate dances and dresses and stupid girl things but unfortunately I have to..." She stuffed her face a bit and swallowed before continuing. "So I kinda need your help since you two are girly and tall, dark, and brooding over here counts as a male opinion."



"So does that mean your free day is gonna be made up of creating your acceptance speech?" Junior opened his mouth to respond just as Enzo beat him to the punch. "Speech? This one will just go all Carrie on everyone." Junior frowned for a moment before shrugging it off and continuing in his typical fashion. "Now where's the fun in writing a speech when you can just set a school on fire to send a message?"

Junior stole a piece of Enzo's food again having fun with the Carrie remark. "Carrie was the true artist on how to give a speech." He laughed for a bit with a wicked grin on his face. "She had power and covered her enemies in blood. Now that's art." He laughed again thinking of what he thought of as a clever joke. "Plus the gym needed a remodeling anyways." He shrugged and took more of Enzo's food again.



Freddie was scrubbing away in his shower possibly singing along to NSYNC just Frankie barged into his bathroom throwing the shower curtain open as quickly as she tossed him a towel. "You wanted a date for the dance. You got one." Freddie turned off the music and the shower before wrapping the towel around his waist while she waited for him with her arms folded as he stepped out of the shower. "But if I am going with you, you won't be wearing a single piece of your own clothing... You actually have to look like someone I'd go to the dance with."

"Hi Freddie. How are you? Oh, I'm doing great Frankie." Freddie scoffed a laugh as he walked passed her. "Jesus, you couldn't wait a couple more minutes or were you that desperate to see me naked?" He tore the towel from his waist and started getting himself dressed as he talked to her. "And I swear to God almighty that if you make me wear something flashy... I will hack all of your precious gadgets with pranks that would make J.A.R.V.I.S laugh."

He was finally done getting dressed and leaned against the wall across from her banging his head back. "The shit I do not to get kicked out on my second day..." He sighed and pushed himself off the wall. "This better be worth making that giant heap of steroids jealous." He rolled his eyes realizing what he's signed up for. "You're so lucky you're my best friend."

Theo looked at Julia a bit dumbfounded when she decided to retort. What was she trying to do? Whatever it was it seemed harmless enough, maybe a bit of fun. Theo wasn't known to be synonymous with fun but he can play if he feels like it. Except he really had no way of responding to the dragon comment. He then eyed her and said, "Don't you mean a dinosaur?" he asked. He was being a bit snarky but it did some what entertain him, which gave him a bit of a smile.

Later on she did inform him the specifics of why she was in pain. He then looked at Julia almost as if he was just violated. Reading him? Just what was that supposed to mean? Theo never understood magic as something real but rather an old explanation of things before Science rose to prominence in Society. Still this school has shown him some odd things that can't be backed by Science but it still bothers him. Of course he's probably not the only one who feels this way. Even so, despite being disturbed he did find her words interesting nevertheless, especially the little tidbit about his own powers.

He never knew his electricity could have any affect on magic users. He assumed the most he could do was fry electronics and machines since they run on electricity. Technology was naturally weak against him but knowing this is very useful. Perhaps he's more of a threat to others than he originally thought. He wouldn't lie, he did worry about people like the Stranges and the Constantines for their powers were odd and inexplicable. But understanding that he could affect them in this way, makes them a little less alien to him. Speaking of Aliens here comes Kari walking into their conversation without any fore warning. It seemed she was asking about a little shopping trip, despite these amazing powers they all possess they still act like normal people.

He then looked up at Julia with a "are you kidding me?" kind of expression. "You assume correctly." He responded sarcastically. Once he thought it was over and done with Alex appears seemingly dragging him back into the fray. He puts down his fork and with a drawn out sigh he looks up to her to say, "First of all, bolts? And Secondly, I'm not going and I have no idea what makes you think I would? If you want a male opinion then try someone else." He said as he looked back at his food. "Besides I'm no expert anyway." He added looking at the trio of women one last time.

"Oh...heh, sorry, sometimes I'm not so good about picking up on things." He admitted. It was a bit sad, he's lost touch with society ever since that night. It's amazing what months and months of solitude can do to you, if it wasn't for going to class he might've become a social neanderthal. As he continued to listen to her speak she seemed quite happy to have someone show some interest in her. She probably gets enough attention but probably not always the good kind. He wish he could relate but he's shown hardly much attention at all. And if he does it's usually from the authorities keeping tabs or it's from...him.

He continued to act a bit shyly but smiled when she agreed to hang out with him. "Alright, cool...uh, not sure what we can do though, guess I'll find something...," he said a bit distracted in his own thoughts. Obviously he wasn't much of a planner, not that he really had to plan for things lately. Not alot of things he had to do anything for lately. Mostly it was just surviving each day without some incident. He hadn't had to think about anything else, let alone hanging out with someone. It was a nice change of pace he just worried it wouldn't last forever.

"Obviously going out in public... Not such a good idea." He shook his head no in agreement. "But! What if I raid that closet of yours again and find you a dapper get up for the dance tomorrow?" "Uhhhhh,...," "Good. Because I was going to do it with or without your permission."

Well it wasn't the most exciting thing he could think of...then again the more exciting options would probably require them to leave the building. Yeah, having Wren sort through his clothing is a much safer option. Still he found it funny, he left his room to do something different but in the end he would return to do that very thing.

Julia chuckled at Theodore's confused expression, that she most definitely didn't need her powers to read, she gave him a cheeky smirk as he corrected her. "Nope, I meant dragon." She took a piece of fruit and popped it in her mouth before adding a finishing comment. "What did you think Demons flew about hell on?" She gave him a cheeky wink before returning to her food, perhaps flashing her demon eyes and horns would be far more dramatic and freaky than the cheeky banter they were having.

Julia noted Theodore's silence towards her explanation but his expression did reveal some discomfort to knowing she was trying to read him, she blushed and felt a little guilty for it but his contemplation of the matter seemed a little more in depth than just discomfort so she took that as a neutral stance, after all he didn't tell her to stay out or threaten her if she tried it again.

Theodore's answer to Julia's question disappointed her, she shook her head and smiled at him. "No, Cinderella, you shall go to the ball!" She told him, resisting the urge to call him Cinderelectric or something else equally 'pun intended'. "After all, you'll still have to do dish duty with me and everyone else who skipped class today, so you may as well enjoy yourself and then clean the dishes, instead of cleaning the dishes whilst we all have fun." She thought her argument was a good case for going to the dance, he could at least spite the higher ups by enjoying himself. "Come on, I'll help you pick out a nice suit. I'll even pay for it and I'll also make sure you have a good time."

Before they could touch on the subject more Alex arrived to the scene, Julia gave Alex an amused smile as she greeted everyone. "Is that your way of buttering me up before asking for my help, Alex?" She tilted her head to the side and veined disappointed. "I'm more of a gift taking, deal making helper." She then listened to Alex rant about her grandfather and the dance and girly stuff, she rolled her eyes at the end of it and yet agreed to do it. "Okay, honey. What's your favourite colours to wear? Also who's your date and we shall buy him a tie to match while we're out." She then flourished her hand as if she was doing a sleight of hand trick and a platinum credit card appeared in her hand. "And when I say I'm paying, I mean grandaddy dearest." She handed the credit card to Alex, if Bruce was going to make her go, then he could at least handle the expenses of having to go for her. "You two use that card, since he's like your adoptive grandfather, and we," She wagged her finger between herself and Theodore. "Shall use my grandfather's inheritance stash." She then addressed Lindsay. "Don't worry, I'll help Kumiko pay for her stuff." She gave the Tamaarian Princess a smile before returning to her food.

She ate is pleasant silence reading a new book she had gotten from her mother. It was a martial arts book, apparently her mother wanted to train her in a new style which started with reading it's histories and whatnot. It was how her mother taught and it was how Liz learned. She was already halfway through the book and it was an interesting fighting style.

Before she even noticed he was there Kain had spoke, "Natchios. You're looking fresh. Got a date to the dance?" She was skeptical as to why he was even talking to her about the dance. He didn't seem like the type to care if she had a date let alone care about the dance to begin with. But she ignored him, she wasn't going to let him get under her skin today, it was a good day and she refused to let it be ruined especially by him.

"It's either you and me, or me and Kumiko. Love a girl that wants to kill me. Keeps me sharp." She choked on a piece of fruit. She reached for her drink and took a long drink from it. "Are you crazy? What in the world gave you the guts to even consider asking me that?" She hissed at him and piled her trash on her tray and stood up "I think Kumiko hates you a little less than I do considering last night." She said before walking to throw her half eaten food in the trash. His question had ruined her apatite, who knew being asked to the dance could do that. It also didn't make sense that he would ask her especially what happened with him and Kumiko. was that just a thing? Kumiko didn't seem like the type to do that.

"Of course, not. Anyone can come, I just sent the message to a few people who I figured would enjoy shopping. Where did she go and we'll snatch her before we leave?" Kari nodded and began taking a few small bites of her apple. She wasn't sure if Kumiko was even going to the dance and if she was Kari doubted she'd want to go dress shopping. It wouldn't be easy to bring it up especially with what had just happened. Kumiko probably didn't want to be around her not to mention she was a strange person.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Alex, her half sister. She watched her greet the others then Alex turned to her "My sister from another mister... Or should I just call you the other Tamaranean Princess?" Kari rolled her eyes and ignored her. She never could wrap her head around why she hated their mothers side of the family. "So the high and mighty Mr. Wayne made me get a date for a stupid dance and I hate dances and dresses and stupid girl things but unfortunately I have to..." Kari stared at her, "So I kinda need your help since you two are girly and tall, dark, and brooding over here counts as a male opinion.". Kari raised her eyebrow "You want our help to get you a dress?" Julia was already asking her questions, trying to help as a good friend should and Kari just listened.

Theo looked towards Julia as she continued onward about the dance tomorrow. It was true he did have to wash some dishes for his tardiness but that still didn't make him warm up to the idea of actually going to this thing. Even so he did come to have an understanding of what Julia is trying to say. They all will have fun with or without him, normally this wouldn't be something he cared about. Yet he wouldn't get a thing out of it if he didn't go, he would be sitting around doing such a boring, menial task as dish washing. With no one else to help him because the others assigned to this duty will enjoy themselves before hand, he's sure of it.

Julia did continue to make the idea of attending a little more enticing. Which he found it odd she would got out of her way to make it more easier for him to come. Buy a suit for him? That sounded odd and he never thought anyone would spend any money on him. He then looked around the cafeteria and then he thought about how tired he was of seeing the same surroundings. Perhaps getting out once and a while would be good for him...he definitely could use the change of scenery. "Fine...I'm feeling bored anyway and seeing you guys try and convince Kumiko might be entertaining." He said with a smirk.

He got up and decided to place his food away in the trash as he left the tray and dishes for the staff to collect. He then returned to the group of girls and said ,"Well, let's hurry up and get this over with...I don't want to spend all day in some boutique. Oh and if any of you ask me for my opinion, don't get upset with me if you don't like what you hear." He said bluntly. He isn't the kind of guy to lie and sugar coat things. Nope you'll get the brutal honest truth from him and nothing else.

Christian sat down as Wren entered his apartment milling about for some clothing in his closet. He then looked over to her and spoke, "What you said earlier about you having a negative effect on me...well, do you really think so?" He asked. "Because I don't. Besides, I'm not one for arguments anyway...and, well, I don't feel like arguing with you ...I don't see any point in it, since I don't mind." Christian continued as she stopped to look at him. He hoped he hadn't said anything weird but then she asked if she was the one bothering him.

"Huh?" Christian blinked his eyes at this. "No, no, of course not. I don't think you're being pushy...if anything you actually care enough to show me some attention." He responded thoughtfully. Which is true he doesn't get much attention from anyone so it's nice to have that feeling. "As for the dance...well, I don't know if I should go. It was a reward for those who showed up during the simulations...I didn't go because it's dangerous for myself and others when I'm placed in a perilous situation. From what I heard, the simulations they placed you guys into was real. If I was in one of those rooms with a partner, then I would be terrified for my partner's life. That's why I wasn't there...I was excused, but even though I had an excuse, I'm not sure if it feels right going since I didn't take that risk." Christian spoke as he looked down at the ground.

He then scratched his head, "Uh, sorry guess I'm kind of ruining the moment. You go on ahead and keep looking through those clothes, I don't want you to stop." He said with a half smile. He seemed pretty well off at the moment. He did genuinely enjoyed Wren's company and her rifling through his closet. He didn't have a mind for fashion and was happy someone else did. For the first time in long while he felt normal.

"Normal? Ha!" A voice echoed within his mind. "That's cute...you really do believe that don't you?" Soon the visage of Cletus Kasady was hanging over his shoulder whispering in his ear. Christian tensed up in that moment, feeling fearful of what might happen next. "Surprised to see me?" Cletus asked as he walked before him.

"What are you doing here!?" He excalimed.
"Well let's see...I'm stuck in your head so where else would I be?" Cletus sardonically laughed.
"You know what I mean." He responded angrily.

"Well My little social butterfly...you thought so much about the kind of day you would have with Miss Chatty here that you forgot to take you're medicine!" Cletus then gasps tauntingly. "Oh yes, now you remember don't you? Well that's a good thing, it looks like I'm needed here."

"And why would I ever need you?" He spat.
"Poor boy your obliviousness astounds me! Can't you see it?" Cletus asked.
"See what!?" Cletus then reaches over and pushes his gaze towards Wren.
"That!"
"What about her?"
"Look at her my boy, look at the little idiot. She's so eager to go through your closet to pick out some cute little outfit to show you off in." He spoke mockingly.
"Don't."
"Don't what?"
"Call Wren an idiot."
"Ooh, were on a first name basis already? Hehehe, and why the Hell not? Wait a minute, you actually think she's your friend?" Cletus about bowled over laughing his head off. "No, she isn't your friend child. Just look at her! She doesn't see you as that, none of them do!"
"You're wrong!"
"Oh I am, am I? Why? Because you two shared an itsy bitsy little kiss!?!? News flash! It was a fuckin' game! It didn't mean anything!"
"Yes it did!"
"It meant shit! And you know it!"
"SHUT UP!!"
"Listen here son, I'm trying to impart some fatherly advice here!"
"Shut up! I'm not your son!"
"You are my son...and you're going to listen to me, because believe it or not, I care about you. That girl over there...she doesn't like you, if anything you're her new little toy."
"It's not like that."
"It is, my fuckin' God! Look at what's she's doing to you! She's trying to dress you up like some little doll to show off to all her friends. Oh look girls! I got the psycho to play dress up, isn't he cute!? He actually thinks he's one of us!"
"No...no, you're wrong....you're wrong..."
"I'm not because deep in your heart you know it's true." Cletus spoke as he poked Christian in the chest.
"C'mon son! For once take the gifts I gave you and rip her pretty little head off!"
"No! I won't do it!"
"Do it! Do as I say! RIP THAT LITTLE FUCKIN' BITCH'S HEAD OFF!!!"
"NO!"
"IN FACT! LET'S RIP ALL THEIR FUCKIN' HEADS OFF!!!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" He screamed as he ran past Cletus clearly upset. He then reached for his bedside drawer as he opened it and took out a needle. He then jammed into his arm releasing the medicine given to him to help combat the Symbiote's influence. "You wound me son, but not as much as she's going to do to you. You'll see, when she's done with you she'll toss you away like garbage...then you'll understand. That the one person you've been searching for, the one who would make all your troubles go away, was here all along. For now, keep living in your little fantasy world....Parker's medicine can't keep me at bay forever....I'm growing stronger and stronger and stronger still. Soon our day will come...and you will carry on my legacy, whether you want to...or not....," His voice trailed off as Cletus faded away. Christian dropped the needle on the ground as he stood there quietly and trembling.

_____Sleep wasn't something Kallistrate got a lot of, or even needed for that matter. Chalk it up to her heritage or just some weird trait, but she never really minded it either way. So ,naturally, one would find it weird to hear light snoring coming from underneath an old BMW in the basement garage of the building. To her defense, these sliding benches were super comfortable and strangely supportive considering they were built to help the mechanic work on the underside of the vehicle. Training was also rough on her and despite not having any visible injuries, even super heroes get tired.
So there she lay, peaceful and still in the longest sleep she's taken in a while even though it's only been about 6 hours. But, as they say, what goes up must come down.
In the back of her mind she only just barely registered something pushing against her foot, not knowing it was one of the men that actually owned the building who also had a penchant for being as annoying as possible. Before the slight movement could even break through her sleep-addled brain, screeching vocals and guitar of what she now perceived as music instead of the devil himself pierced it much quicker. Her head shot up and made a solid thunk on the transmission. She couldn't help a small grunt at the ringing in her ears and the grogginess she wasn't used to. As gently as possible she cracked her eyes and found them meeting a pain of human feet and the bottom end of a semi-annoying but adorably clumsy AI metal arm. She stifled anther groan and merel settled for a sigh as she slowly rolled out from under the car, squinting at the bright lights, only to see Tony Stark with him arms folded (sarcastically of course), looking down on her.
"Late night?"
Her head was still fuzzy but she managed to force her body into a standing position without looking like a newborn giraffe. She brushed off her sweatshirt and yawned into her fist before answering,
"Yeah...You could say that. I was more tired than I thought.", she touched her forehead and hissed at the bump she could feel forming. Of course it would disappear just as quickly, but she wasn't completely impervious to pain, "Music was a tad unnecessary though."
Tony scoffed and smirked that smirk everyone knows and loves(hates), "I humbly disagree. You youngsters need a good wake up call every once in a while. I'm not surprised you were so tired though, I'd be too if I landed the star role in the real world reenactment of Jaws. No one's ever had to accuse SHEILD of a bit of sadism here and there though. They have no shame in admitting it."
Kallistrate sent him a look that said 'I don't like you but I agree with you.' before walking past the metal arm to the radio on the workbench that was still screeching and ceremoniously flipped it off. She turned around and ran fingers through her messy curls before simply throwing them on top of her head and strapping them down.
["I'm assuming I'll see you at the dance? In appropriate attire of course."
Kallistrate looked down at her phone at precisely the right time to answer that question given the text she received from Julia.
' Need to go dress shopping, ASAP. Please tell me I'm not going alone! :( '
She decided she better act fast since it seems as it seems she'd slept the day away.
To: Julia Constantine
That sounds fine. I don't think I have any dresses anyway. Meet you in Cafeteria.
She placed the phone back in her back pocket and closed the lid back on her vehicle.
"It certainly seems as though you will. See you there."
"Likewise Wonder Girl"...she let that one slide.
She went as quickly as she could going about getting semi-presentable. Her hair was tamed and she picked out a simple outfit. Truth was she had no clue what one was supposed to wear to try on formal dresses. Was she supposed to make up her face and hair like she would at the event for decision purposes? Did it matter? At this point, she was so late she honestly didn't have time to care so she left her face bare as usual and her hair large and wavy and set off to the cafeteria.
There were some people already mulling about when she got there, so she decided it was best to get her normal breakfast, plain oatmeal and an apple, and sit near Julia.
"Sorry I overslept. I can see I'm not too late though." She smiled slightly and tried to quickly eat her food.

Theme:Control Interacting With: Phil Coulson, Joker Junior, Mentioned: Alex Todd, Bruce Wanye, Anansi Morales, Kain



Daria sat silently outside of Mr. Coulson's office, while he and another man was deciding her fate. She liked the Spider girl well enough but she wasn't sure if she wanted to be with a group of them yet. She wasn't used to it. She was scared, scared of them and scared of herself. She turned and peered through the glass and could vaguely make out Mr. Coulson's form seated on his desk, looking over a monitor before him, as a man in a black bat mask spoke over the screen. She closed her hands over her eyes and "Then who do you suggest?" she could hear Coulson say.

"Alex, she would be a good fit for the girl." said the man, his voice was deep, and intimidating. She didn't want to know who this Alex was, but it was clear that neither of them really had a choice in the matter. So she turned and sat down properly. Daria looked down at her feet, clad in high top Converse One Stars, her thin legs wrapped in black tight, a long black circle skirt draped over her knees, a purple and black stripped long sleeve shirt hugged her tiny frame, while her long and thick wavy brown hair cascaded over her shoulders like a shawl, her school bag sat at her side, and on her pale wrist was a watch or it looked like a watch, but it was a monitor, to let her know when it was time to take her next dose. She sighed. She didn't want her fate decided for her. She probably should have gone with Anansi, she was nice, a little scared, and oddly scarred, but she seemed sweet and she was Coulson's first choice.

It was then she heard something off in the distance, down a hallway. Daria stood, grabbing her school bag. Without the contents inside, this school wouldn't stand a chance and she'd have to go back. She didn't want to go back, she wanted to try.

She pulled the strap over her shoulder, ducking her head, and walking toward the sound. She made her way toward a large open room where a few students seem to be lingering. Eating lunch, laughing and making jokes. She'd always seen this in movies, and read in books. What school looked like. It was the cafeteria. She watched a lot of movies, good and bad, from romance to horror. She loved it all.
She walked toward the door of what she thought was the cafeteria, and peeked in, hoping not to be seen, so she could watch the students a little more. Her violet eyes found a young man, donning green and purple, madness in his eyes but a handsome face, pillaged food from another man's plate, while commenting on a movie she'd seen.

"Carrie was the true artist on how to give a speech." He said with a mad grin. "She had power and covered her enemies in blood. Now that's art." He said with a laugh. Daria thought then, oddly, she had power like Carrie, a lot like Carrie, only Carrie couldn't rewrite the world. She could. Would he like that? "Plus the gym needed a remodeling anyways. He added and Daria couldn't help a giggle. Suddenly the other man, to whom the mad one stole food from, suddenly, slammed his fork between his fingers and Daria gasped behind her hand.

Did he really just hurt him?

From where she was, she couldn't see as the man was now standing. "Do it again, and next time I won't miss." He said, so Daria gathered he didn't hurt him. He could have though. She didn't like that. That man was funny, he didn't deserve a fork in his hand. A dark thought crossed her mind, wondering if the green one would appreciate having forks aimed at him. She could do it. A lot like Carrie.

Another man, idly spoke again. "Yeah well I guess we should just be grateful you haven’t developed telekinesis." He said and she pursed her lips. She did. She could do that. "See you on the other side, fellas." He said, and the man left, leaving the Mad one and the Green one to themselves. Daria could barely look away from the mad one. There was something that drew her, his madness perhaps, the chaos. That was all she was for a long while, it was all she was without her medication.
The Green one moved to the trash giving her full view of the mad one and she couldn't help but smile, to the point she hadn't noticed she was no longer all that inconspicuous. She was practically a head, popping over the side of the door like one of the cartoons. She just wanted to watch him, she would no doubt panic if he looked directly at her.

Julia was taken off guard when Theodore agreed to going to the shops with them, even if he made it sound more like a last choice chore than a fun day out, but she merely rolled her eyes, even though his comment on convincing Kumiko seemed somewhat appropriate, Julia would leave that to Lindsay. "Oh so you want us to take your advances as compliments, gotcha!" She teased Theodore about his remark, but then she got serious. "And we can't leave until we find Kumiko anyway. So chill, we have the whole day. But we won't spend the whole day shopping." Her words were more of a reassurance for him and Alex. With a quick glance at her phone, she smiled at Kallistrate agreed to join them and looked up to the rest of them with the smile still there. "Also Kallistrate is coming, so we need to wait on her."

Julia then spotted Kallistrate entering the cafeteria and tried to smile at her, but with the growing group around her, she wouldn't have expected her to see her. So she opted to waiting until Kallistrate joined them at the table to greet her with the smile. Julia shook her head in response to Kallistrate's worries over being late and watched as she dug into her food. "Wow, Kalli chill. We're not going to leave for awhile anyway, you have time to eat without rushing, I'm not." She popped a strawberry into her mouth to emphasis the lack of need to rush and also probably to tease Theodore's impatience, but after popping the strawberry in she wondered when the teasing might turn into just plain annoyance and just push all the wrong buttons.

"You knew that would hurt, didn't you?" Ichabod responded with a shrug as he ate. "I just happen to have perfect timing." Mathias had squinted his eyes at him though Ichabod gave no response to it as he calmly ate his breakfast waiting for his next comment. "And who's the most eligible bachelor?" If Mathias was expecting a conceited answer, he wasn't getting one from Ichabod who piped up in between bites. "Why Bane of course... One word out of him and it's suddenly like he was angel sent from the heavens if you believe in that divine bullshit." He shrugged an took another bite spilling out some gossip like it wasn't even important to him. "He's supposedly going with Alex Todd to the dance though you'll find out in moments if you keep listening in on that conversation." Ichabod smirked at him.

Ichabod then finally took the time to answer Mathias's comment that had followed his question earlier once he was finished with his breakfast. He laced his fingers together and propped his elbows up onto the table as he spoke. "I've found in my studies that it's nearly impossible for a man to go without sex. Even I can't resist it's call." It was next to impossible to tell whether or not Ichabod was trying to crack a joke at this moment. "Also the girlish conversation, might either result in another Natchios/Bullseye stabbing, or some insight into why Theodore is all of a sudden very popular, obviously no offence to him." Ichabod had turned around to look at the tables seemingly unamused. "Well the stabbing has a high probability and the reasoning for Theodore's popularity is simple." Ichabod spun back around to face Mathias. "People desire what they perceive as unattainable... Along with the cliche bad boy."

Nathaniel still felt horrible as he forced himself out of his room. He still wished he hadn't said yes to Alex but he wasn't going to go back on a promise he made to a friend. That kiss meant nothing to them anyways of course... Right? Right, of course it didn't. They were just friends and lab partners and Alex wasn't into guys like that so it was all fine. Nathaniel somehow found his way into the cafeteria after being lost in thought. He scanned the room and noticed Enzo and Junior bickering like an old married couple. There was someone else watching them and it was a bit odd. Nathaniel had never seen her before and he felt uncomfortable with the way she was staring at Junior like he was some sort of saint. At least it gave him an excuse to avoid that table until Junior beckoned him sooner or later and approach Alex. He tapped her shoulder and grunted a greeting in his typical fashion. "Hey."

"Okay, honey. What's your favourite colours to wear? Also who's your date and we shall buy him a tie to match while we're out." Alex was genuinely surprised at how easy that was. Julia flicked her wrist to make a credit card appear in her hand and responded before Alex opened her mouth. "And when I say I'm paying, I mean grandaddy dearest." Alex smirked in response as she took the card. "It seems you know the way to my heart, princess." She teased.

Julia went on to address the other members of the table while Alex finally answered Lindsey's question from earlier. "Yes, Kari..." She purposely used the family nickname. "For once in my life I want your help." Just then a massive shadow appeared looming over Alex. She almost jumped in her seat. Almost. "Hey." He grunted at her which only caused her to roll her eyes. "Speaking of dates...." She spun in her seat to face him. "Mine finally decided to show up for dress shopping."



Junior had laughed when Enzo decided to threaten him with a fork between his fingers just as Kain decided to leave. Junior didn't take the threat as seriously as any sane man should have. "Do it... I wanna see if it tickles." Another laugh as Enzo had taken a seat once more after throwing out his food. "Where's your brutish minion? That one hates me nearly as much as he hates you?" Junior of course had a response lined right up for his comment just as Bane decided to make his presence known in the cafeteria.

"Speak of the devil and the devil shall come." Junior grinned and pointed towards Bane as he walked over to Alex and her dysfunctional group of wannabe heroes. "Such a shame for those two... Bane could actually do better." He laughed when finally decided to address what he noticed before. "But it seems I may have found another little minion." He waved at the girl who had been staring at him practically calling he rover to them.



"I don't know what you're talking about." Frankie was such a terrible liar with Freddie. "Frankie you're my only friend and we basically grew up together. It'd be blasphemy if I didn't know when you were lying or how obviously into that brute you are." He ended it with a light hearted smile as he put a hand on her shoulder just as she changed the conversation to something more upbeat. "Let's go. I need a dress, haven't quite decided if I wanna try to turn everyone's heads or blend into the crowd. But yours will be simple... a Tux with a tie that matches my dress."

Freddie sighed as he gave his two cents on the dress. "I'm gonna vote turn everyone's heads on this one." She was already out the door when he spoke and turned around to make another comment. "And a shave... You need a shave." Freddie rubbed the beard that was starting to form and scoffed at her. "I thought girls liked the rugged look... And some guys too." He laughed and gave her a wink. Frankie was probably the only one he'd ever at like this around.

A girl was waiting right outside of his room that he barely recognized and assumed was friends with Frankie. She was the social one of their duo after all. Freddie greeted her with a simple nod and hands tucked into his pockets.

Theme:Control Interacting With: Enzo, Joker Junior, Mentioned:



"But it seems I may have found another little minion." The Mad One said, Daria visibly flinched when suddenly the Mad one's eyes turned on her. She didn't know what to do when he suddenly waved at her. Her heart was racing and her pulse was quickening, burning the sedatives that she'd taken hours earlier. She stood up, clutching her bag to her chest as she took slow steps toward him. He and the Green one were looking at her, the Mad One smiling that mad smile. He wasn't angry for her spying? She knew that people at Xavier's didn't like it, he didn't seem to mind by the way he smiled. She didn't know what to do, or say, just looked at him, trying to swallow the lump that formed in her throat, and calm her heart that wanted so desperately to burst from her chest.
"Say something..." She thought to herself, kicking herself for not being able to find the words. She wasn't used to talking to people and she certainly wasn’t used to this feeling in her chest, whenever he looked at her.
She opened her mouth to speak, but it was that moment, the small watch on her wrist began to beep, and in her fright, she dropped her bag, sending her things clattering to the floor.

In a panic, she dropped to her knees and gathered her medication first, opening a black wallet like pouch, making sure the glass bottles hadn't broken, when she found they weren't. She zipped it back up, and set it in to her bag. She fiddled with her watch, fumbling to get it off her wrist to stop it's incessant beeping . She knew she had to take her medication but she didn't want to right now and she didn't want them to know she needed them. Thought by now, it was much too late.

"I'm Sorry, So Sorry." She said, quickly, though her voice was still low and haunting, a touch of her mother's accent in her voice, as she used her power, her fingers twitching oddly, linking all of her things, her notebooks, pencils, and other things together with a magenta glow, and calling them to her, floating them just above the ground, at her knees, she then released them dropped them one by one into her open bag, shoved them haphazardly in her bag before raising. "I have to--they help me with my--"She pointed to her head realized she was already feeling the effects of her mind without the sedatives, the strings that kept reality together ripe for the plucking in her vision. She shook it off blinking a few times to get the visions to go away, even though her eyes were likely glowing a bright magenta. She dropped her head, looking at the floor, clutching bag to her chest again. "I'm sorry for spying." She said, defeated.

"Oh so you want us to take your advances as compliments, gotcha!"

Theodore merely rolled his eyes at Julia. She's quite the teaser and normally that wouldn't matter to him but if she's gonna act like that all day then it's going to get old real quick. "And we can't leave until we find Kumiko anyway. So chill, we have the whole day. But we won't spend the whole day shopping." Theo nodded, "Yeah...I hope." He muttered. "Also Kallistrate is coming, so we need to wait on her." Not too soon after she said it, Kallistrate did appear. "Just how many people do you need to go dress shopping with?" Theo rhetorically asked.

He wasn't sure what he was getting himself into. Obviously the lack of urgency was grating on Theo's patience, and Julia certainly wasn't making anything better. Perhaps he should just bow out now before it's too late. As he considered it he did think about the repercussions of bowing out, he'll probably get an earful from the girls around him. After all he is their only male opinion. Well at least he thought he was. Looming over them like a tower, Nathaniel Bane arrived and gave a single utterance to alert the others to his presence, as if simply standing there wasn't enough.

"Hey." He grunted at her which only caused her to roll her eyes. "Speaking of dates...." She spun in her seat to face him. "Mine finally decided to show up for dress shopping."

Theo looked over to Alex and with an accusatory stare and said, "A male opinion huh?" He then just shook his head.

Shaking, Christian was easily manipulated by Wren into sitting down. His stare was distant as if he was off in another world far away from him. He didn't seem to notice anyone, not even Wren as she touched him. He sat there, lost within some great void left behind by the Symbiote. Also the medicine does have spaciness as a side-effect, it especially hits him if he misses a dosage. The only thing that brought him out of his lull was the sound of Wren's voice. "Drink." Christian finally looked over to her as his hands, shakily, took the glass of water.

Obviously his coordination suffered some spilling a good deal of water on himself. Still he managed to get some liquid down his throat as he began to cough. As she touched his knee, Christian looked over to her to see her smile. "You tell Mr. Hyde that he better play nice or he'll have to deal with me." Christian nodded slowly in response. "T-Thank you." He stuttered. "W-Wren!" He suddenly spoke up. "W-Will you go to the dance with me? I-I want someone to go with, and you're the only one I-I can think to ask."

Julai chuckled at Alex's reaction to the credit card she had just been handed, "Well, damn, I guess I've just stolen anyone else's chances. Don't worry, Nathy, I'll look after her." Julia teased, acknowledging the giant's presence with warmth rather than the coldness some other Gotham kids might have.

Julia turned her attention back to Theodore as he addressed her, she got a mixed surge of emotions, nearly overwhelming, but the surge was short lived, but it was still enough to startle her, she wasn't even quite sure if she reacted visibly in front of the others, she knew her eyes probably bulged from her head and her lips released an escaped gasp, but whether or not she physically tensed, she couldn't know unless someone asked.

She then focused back on Theodore, pushing the event to the back of her head. "I'm not going to torture you all day, it can make torture pretty boring if you do it 24/7." She gave him a smile followed by an eye roll at his rhetorical question which she was going to answer, regardless of if he wanted an answer or not. "It helps to suss out the competition for the award of best dressed." She give him a playful wink with a sweet smile and small shrug. She then looked over her shoulder at the Demented Duo, who were joined by a new girl, the girl with similar energies to the ones that surged throughout her body not long ago. Quickly turning her head back to the group, she gave a smile to the group and lightly clapped for attention. "Shall we head for town now?"

Having pondered on the subject of going alone, he'd grown curious as to who Ichabod was taking and even pipped up the question. "And who are you taking to the dance?" He tilted his head with a playful smirk. "As one of said bad boys, you must have a line of adoring fans." As he sat facing the entrance to the cafeteria, he found it very hard to miss the pink haired beauty who floated her way into the cafeteria. He was aware of how little friends she had and felt sorry for her, he'd try his best to be nice to her but in team exercises or any sort of power testing, she would be completely nonnegotiable or unwilling, it gave him a disdain for her but he wouldn't say he hated her, more her work ethic, but that didn't stop his bitchy comment. "I'm sure Tianna has a shared interest."

Alex couldn't help but let out a soft enough chuckle that sounded more like a scoff over Julia's comment towards Nathaniel. "He might still have a chance with those pillow lips of his." She teased him over their shared kiss last night with a wink only to give him a light punch on the arm. "Though I prefer a different set of equipment anyways." She laughed again hoping he took her jokes the way they were since the two were only lab partners to begin with.

She finally turned herself back around to look at Theo. "Of course I still need your opinion. Tall, dark, and broody over here doesn't talk since he's too busy perfecting his muscles for everyone to drool over." Alex got up from her seat just as Julia asked them if they were all ready. Alex hit her hand on the table as she got up making a slightly louder sound than intended thanks to her alien strength. "Let's go fuckers. This is the only chance you will ever get to see me in a dress." She grabbed Nathaniel by the arm dragging him out with more ease than most. "I'm driving."



Enzo certainly didn't seemed pleased over Junior's new attention over the young girl before them. Of course Junior could always try to make it up to his 'boyfriend' later if he so desired. Junior would only be interested in the girl if she proved useful to him to begin with. He couldn't help but laugh for a bit as she fumbled around in front of him with her beeping watch. "I'm Sorry, So Sorry." She'd taken out a glass bottle that had been filled with pills before downing some. Junior hadn't really been intrigued until he saw the contents of her bag move without being touched for a moment. This caused Junior to lean forward a bit as he watched her.

"I have to--they help me with my--" Junior was standing by now and taking steps towards her with a smirk that could only spell trouble with the thoughts he just had. "You're not the first person to come to this academy that needs meds" Enzo had spoken up and also stood by now. "And you won't be the last either." Enzo had then been distracted by Jette Storm while Junior had taken the liberty of kneeling before the girl that had been spying on him.

He picked up one of her notebooks and handed it over. "There's no need to apologize, darling. Never be sorry." He advised her with a grin. "While you're not the first who needs medication... What's the point?" He laughed. "I never take mine and look how great I turned out." He helped her with her other things before taking her hand and kissing the back of it to introduce himself. "They call me Junior by the way."



Freddie scoffed once again at Frankie's jab over his appearance. He easily could have come up with a smart ass response towards her though he decided to save his whit for later. By then Frankie was already coming up with another comment for him just when Anansi arrived at his door. "You be nice. Believe it or not I have more friends than you shining aura." Of course Freddie decided to play his typical asshole self once he saw Anansi. He folded his arms over his chest though his hardened expression hadn't changed. "I've been told I have a very approachable aura."

"She needs to get a dress too plus it helps to have a girls opinion dress shopping... Because asking you how I look in every dress probably will only help so much." Freddie shrugged as he was the last one to step out into the hallway. At least you know I mean it when I say you look hot." Frankie had pulled keys out by now which made Freddie arch an eyebrow. "I'm not sure I can trust you operating a motorized vehicle." He went to snatch the keys from her. "I'm driving."

Her sisters attitude was one of the most annoying things she would consider dealing with. They were family, you would think there would be some kind of bond even a little. But not with Alex, she hated them and even though she did Kari couldn't find it in herself to hate Alex which was annoying in itself. Kari stopped engaging with the group after that, she just listened and finished her breakfast. "Well, I'm going to find Kumiko and convince her to come with us. I'll meet you guys later." She said as she stood from the table. It was directed more towards Julia than anyone else. "It may take awhile." She added before taking her trash and leaving the table.

She tossed the trash and began her search for Kumiko. If anyone knew Kumiko they knew she was in one of vary few places, her penthouse. So Kari made her way there, ironically it wasn't vary hard to get there and the elevator ride was short. You would think someone like Kumiko would live in the very top penthouse but of course they didn't get to choose where they lived.

When she reached the penthouse she knocked on the door, "Kumiko! I'm sorry I laughed at you. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings!"

"What do you want?" Kumiko suddenly appeared behind Kari in her training gear.

Lindsey screamed her hand reached for her heart. She turned away from the door "For gods sake don't do that to me!" Kumiko wasn't fazed by her screaming or the fact that she didn't like it. She moved around Kari and opened her door and walked inside. Knowing Lindsey would follow she left the door open.

"Anyway, I just wanted to apologize for earlier. Me laughing. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, honest." She repeated following Kumiko into the room."So to show that I was really sorry I wanted to invite you to come dress shopping with a bunch of us girls, and a few guys but that's beside the point.

Kumiko went into her bedroom, to change Lindsey assumed, without saying a word to Lindsey. In all honesty Lindsey was beginning to think that Kumiko was ignoring the fact that she was there.

Finally Kumiko imerged from her bedroom dressed in her usual type outfits. They weren't casual but they weren't really normal either. "I never said you hurt my...feelings, so there is no need for you to feel the need to make it up to me by inviting me to dress shop with you. I also don't plan on going to the dance.

Kari opened her mouth to defend her decision to invite her but Kumiko was right. If Kari hadn't hurt her feelings she would have never thought to invite Kumiko. "I hurt your feelings, I know I did. You may not know what that means but I know what it looks like when someone's feelings get hurt. Besides, of course your going to the dance. You'll be the only one Not there. Even Nathaniel is going.

"Fine. Kumiko gave in which resulted in Lindsey squealing and hugging the breath out of her. "Great, lets go. I told them we'd meet them there.

Alex could help but fidget with discomfort as she looked at herself in the mirror. If only she could ditch this stupid dance and go out for a run or work on experiments with Nathaniel instead of making him her date. Why did Bruce have to force her to go to this thing? Ugh, she hated dances and she hated having to wear a dress but of course dear ol' Bruce insisted on it. It wasn't like she looked bad or anything. It was plain black and short so it didn't draw attention on her but it looked cute on her and she actually had her makeup done and her hair curled for once. Alex still felt like she wasn't herself though. She'd rather be in jeans and a t shirt with some kick ass leather boots.

There was a knock at the door and Alex may have rushed over a little too quickly hoping it was Nathaniel so they could get in and out of that dance as quickly as possibly but of course it had to be Bruce Wayne instead trying to play the role of Dad. "You look beautiful, Alex." He smiled down at her but Alex wasn't buying any of it as she folded her arms and glared at him. "Well you bought it." Alex couldn't help but smirk at the way his face changed over her announcement. "How did you?" Alex shrugged. "Flirted with the right witch."

Bruce was no pleased with her but that only made Alex's night a little bit better. Well since I already paid for your dress... I also got you another gift." Bruce revealed a small box he'd been hiding behind his back. It had a white corsage made of a single rose. Alex wasn't sure what to say as he tied it around her wrist but she did manage to mutter a, "Thanks." He laughed softly. "What's that? Alex Todd is actually thanking me?" Alex rolled her eye and gave him a gentle shove. "Whatever, old man." She walked passed him and to the door. "You're keeping me from my 'date'."

Alex hurried off down the hall playing with the flower around her wrist but quickly stopped in case Bruce was still watching while she searched for Nathaniel's room. She eventually found it and gave a gentle knock. "I'm coming in." She turned the knob thankful it was unlocked and that she wouldn't need to break in this time. She folded her arms as she waited for him. "Nice job breaking gender stereotypes by taking longer than me to get ready."



"Well aren't you the devil in disguise." Junior continued to admire his own reflection as he straightened out his tie and begin completing his look for the night. He used a thin tooth cob and some pomade to slick back his curls and even trimmed his beard so he looked clean yet still ruggedly handsome as ever. Junior simply couldn't get enough of how spectacular he looked in the tux he picked out with Enzo. He was going to be the best dressed and most desired man of the night.

A knock at the door managed to distract Junior from his reflection long enough to answer it. He was pleased to see Enzo waiting on the other side and smirked as he leaned against the door frame. "Oh my..." Junior looked him over. "I'm not sure I should let you leave looking this good." He chuckled a bit. "But then again, I will enjoy showing off my fellow king." He grinned and closed the door behind him as he put an arm out for Enzo. "Shall we go meet our subjects?"



Suddenly the name monkey suit made all too much sense to Freddie as he fidgeted around with the outfit Frankie picked out for him for tonight. He felt so uncomfortable in this contraption and like he wasn't himself. Still, tonight was Frankie's night so he manned up about the suit and even shaved his beard like she asked. Probably the only time he'd shave after being told.

Freddie straightened his tie up in the mirror and grabbed what he needed before leaving his room. he went down a floor to find Frankie's room and took a deep breathe before knocking on the door. He had half a mind to run away and forget this whole dance but he wasn't the type of guy to abandon his best friend. So instead, he waited at the door with a corsage in hand. He decided to lean up against the door frame with one arm when she opened the door and gave a big smirk. "Hey there, Cinderella. Ready to go to the ball?"

Was it too late to back out now? Maybe Alex would understand. After all, it wasn't like she actually wanted to go to this dance and it didn't take a genius like Enzo to figure out that Nathaniel wasn't exactly the best social buddy. Yet as much as Nathaniel just wnated to call it quits and just work out like everyone expected him too, he still put on the suit he and Alex picked out with the Motley Crew of supes and villains and was waiting for her to arrive.

He felt a bit comical staring back at himself so overly dressed up. He thought it looked like someone tried to pack sausage into spanx. Well it wasn't like he looked bad or anything but it still just seemed weird for Nathaniel to wear and he was more worried about accidentally ripped the thing apart if he wasn't careful with his powers tonight. Nathaniel seemed to be too tied up in himself to even realize that Alex had knocked at his door. Though of course she wasn't going to wait and barged right in anyways. Thank god he remembered to leave the door unlocked this time.

"Nice job breaking gender stereotypes by taking longer than me to get ready." Nathaniel couldn't help but give a small laugh over her comment and responded by going along with the gender role switch for the sake of keeping the joke going between them. He took her arm and hooked his inside hers so she would be the one taking the lead as the pair walked down towards the dance. He thought it'd be a funny little moment for the two of them as they walked in together though he wasn't sure how much he could have tonight knowing he may have blown his chances with another.

Jai, on the other hand, was bouncing off the walls more than usual as he dashed around his room getting ready. Somehow the speedster managed to be running late as he desperately tried to figure out how to put on his tie and properly tuck in his shirt. He had absolutely no idea what he was doing and was sure Lilith would find it amusing once he finally made it to her room. It'd spent a few extra moments still trying to figure out the mechanics of his tux before eventually giving up and dashing out of his room and then back again because he forgot the flowers.

Jai eventually was able to flash over to Lilith's room with his tie still undone around his neck and his shirt half untucked looking like a runaway groom. He knocked on the door and waited for her to answer while giving an apologetic grin. "Sorry I'm late. I had some technical difficulties with my tux..." He rubbed the back of his head nervously with his free hand before handing her the bouqet of flowers. "Uh, these are for you. They're lilies 'cause... uh... Lilith and I didn't know if I should do the corsage thing since this isn't a prom and I thought this would work and yeah..." He gave her a large grin as he rambled on.

Ichabod was already at the dance. He'd been one of the first to arrive though he didn't make his presence quite known despite his suit being far more colorful than his overall personality. He quite frankly had no idea why he even decided to show up to the event though the thought of testing some of his fear toxins during it did sound promising. Of course he was also interested in continuing is verbal bout with a certain little song bird that had entered the dance not too long after him. Though Ichabod hadn't approached him just yet as he seemed busy socializing. He instead decided to instead linger at the bar for a bit and see what pairings decided to show up next.

Nathaniel had been silent as he walked with Alex towards the dance. He was certainly more comfortable being vocal with her but he simple enjoyed just listening to her have the chance to ramble on about anything and everything she wanted when they were together. He found it humorous seeing the 'geeky' side of her that most didn't have the chance to see with her tough exterior. It was much like how everyone simply assumed Nathaniel was merely Junior's brute.

They eventually arrived at the dance much earlier than he had anticipated. Nathaniel did prefer punctuality but he assumed the unspoken rule of dances was to always arrive fashionably late. There was a small cluster of people already there though non Nathaniel particularly felt like engaging with. He instead decided to take the lead this time escorting Alex towards a punch bowl until the dancing began.

Jai couldn't help but grin from ear to ear when Lilith took the flowers and stuck one behind her ear. She looked absolutely breathe taking to him that Jai couldn't even find the words to describe it. “Now, may I help with the technical difficulties?” Jai quickly became flustered when she came over to him. "Uh, yeah. Sure... Go ahead." His face flushed as he watched her fix his tie and made him look more presentable. "Thank you." Lilith stepped away to examine him giving Jai the sudden need to begin posing for her. “Perfect. Once you tuck in the rest of your shirt.” Jai gave a nervous laugh as he started to tuck his shirt in properly. He looked back up to see that Lilith already left her room and was walking towards the elevator.

Of course Jai was right by her side in the elevator before the doors had the chance to close with a sudden breeze being the indicator of his presence. "I'm always chasing after you." He laughed again with his dopey grin. The doors opened and the pair walked into the room where the dance was being held and it seemed no one was ready to dance just yet... Except for Lilith. She began to sway her way to the dance floor and ask Jai to join her. His face lit up as he danced his way over with moves far less graceful than hers though he didn't care how ridiculous he looked dancing next to her. He jumped around and moved to the beat of his own drum with a bright childish expression plastered all over his face.

A hand had fell upon the back of Ichabod's arm followed by a charming voice he was familiar with. "Evening," He met Mathias's smile with a devilish looking smirk as he raised his glass and gave a nod in acknowledgement. "Evening." Ichabod took a moment to look over Mathias just as he decided to make a comment over Ichabod's own choice of outfit. "Most people put their worn out clothes on a Scarecrow, not their most dapper." Ichabod gave a soft chuckle before responding. "If this is your way of flirting... You could cerainly do better than that, Mathias." He took a sip of his drink. "And besides, I'm far more scarier dressed like this." He gave him a quick wink as he had a another sip of his drink.
