((ooooh could kaden be an elite, he could be awsome smooth guy. hehehehe very mysterious.))

Zeelith looked up hearing the sound of Kurt transporting and turned around. "Everything is alright." she said and then looked at Chris. "Momma!" he cried and flung his arms around her waist, burring his face into her stomach. "I was so scared...' he whimpered and looking down at him lovingly Zeelith began running a loving hand threw his hair. "Its alright honey, everything is alright." she whispered softly and kissed the top of his head. "Thank you so much Kurt. I don't know what I would've done had Xavier found Chris... He doesn't need to be one of the Elite..." she whispered and shivered.

(I don't really get the elite bit :/)

Sarn only placed a foot behind him to steady himself when the teacher suddenly hit him. He didn't think she'd actually go to hit him. As soon as she started talking again about defending himself and went to hit him again, the silver necklace became liquid in hid hand, instantly shaping itself into a type of silver spear. He used it to swipe to his side, knocking her hand away. He pointed the spear at her, in a ready position with the new weapon. He stayed as focused on her as he could. He didn't not want to get hurt again.

Kainmin shook as the effects of magic worked on her. She didn't know what it was, of course, but her body unconsciously got it. Doesn't mean it didn't work. Her breathing became normal and she was actually calm. Well, as calm as she really ever could be. She at least became civil.
Kain turned to look at him, well, look up at him. "I don't really like anything." This certainly wasn't true, since she obviously liked some things. This was just her defense mechanism operating automatically. She'd been like that way too long, so it just happened now.

Izzy had walked for several minutes around the school and finally brought out a book. She used to get yelled at all the time for reading and walking but she never really cared.

She started to walk under a tree when a man jumped out of it and addressed her. Any other day she would have jumped and probably cussed but she had expected some kind of prank since she arrived. At her old school new kids were thrown in garbage cans, thorn bushes, or had balloons of unlikeable substances thrown at them. This was different from what she had been watching for though.

She carefully shut her book and held it in one hand. Then looked up at the man. He really was good looking but what he said suprised her even more. "No, not really. I can make stars and if I spend a lot of time at it I can make an ok crane. Stars are easy and quick to make." She stopped realizing she was talking too much about paper stars when no one really cared. She looked at the man then stuck out her hand. "Name's Isabelle Rayl. Though everyone calls me Izzy. I just got here today. Are you a new student?

((I will PM you about it, Miss Seer. :yes:

To let everyone know, I've started up a thread that will help give back story to the Elites. ;) The link is on the first page if you want to check it out.

To explain the Elites: They are a group of strong mutants that Xavier has chosen specifically for some unknown purpose. They will be coming into play more often as time goes on.))

Kurt slowly sat down on the nearest couch. "Chris be good. I like him." With a fanged smile, the mutant flicked his tail in the boy's direction. "We be friends now, yah?" He then looked to Jinesis. He had a mark - his favored wrist had a strange bloody wound over the soft spot of it. "You okay?" Tilting his head, the male eyed Jin warily for a few moments. "What happened?"
-

Kahcra smiled slowly. The boy might have talent. "Don't let me strike you. You fail when you do." The tall female burst into motion. She was stronger than she was quick - she knocked the spear aside with a hiss. The tip glanced off of her scaled arm as she bore her fangs. With a step forward, she promptly shoved Sarn, trying to keep one hand locked on the spear itself.

((:XD Sadly, not much for you to work with. Sorry!))
-

Eric's eyes flickered with amusement. If she wasn't going to give him something to work with, then he would have to start out. "I like steak," he said with a shrug. It wasn't much to offer, but it was . . . something. The blond caught Kain looking at him out of the corner of his eye, and slowly turned to meet her gaze. "And bikes. Motorcycles." For a moment he seemed to blush. He felt odd having this girl stare at him - he didn't even know her.
"What classes are you taking?" he asked, keeping his hands in his pockets as he spoke. The calm that previously filled the area was slowly fading.

Kaden chuckled hearing the girl and took her hand and kissed the back of it lightly. "Please to meet you Isabelle." he said smoothly. "I am Kaden, Kaden Cross." he said smoothly. He then chuckled and nodded. "Mmm... May I borrow a piece of paper?" he asked lightly. "I want to show you a little something I learned from a friend who is an origomi pro." he said lightly and brushed a stray strand of hair from his face.
Zeelith smiled as Chris looked up and nodded. "Yes! Best of friends!" he said excitedly. "Jin was chosen." Zeelith said softly and looked at Jin passed out on the couch. "He's extremely powerful." she said and then chuckled as Chris grabbed some cards. "Can we play poker now?!" Chris asked excitedly.

"Yah," Kurt nodded. He enjoyed the sound of Chris' excitement. As he moved to sit on the floor near the boy, Kurt leaned back on his heels while he knelt down. Rocking back on toes, the mutant smiled playfully. A game of cards sounded excellent. "Are you dealing, or am I?"

((:XD Sorry. Not much to work with.))

Izzy smiled at Kaden but pulled her hand away quickly. She tilted her head when he asked for the paper. She opened her bag and dug around for the folder that held the papers. "I only have the strips for the stars. I make my own paper so I cut it in bunches ahead of time. And a few of regular letter size. Which would you like?" She pulled out a few stripes of multi colored paper and a few regular sized paper in blue and green.

As she watched him brush back a bit of his hair she bit her lip and reached up to tug on her stripe of blue bangs. She loved to dye her hair and was proud but she still always felt weird around new people with her hair.

grinning Chris looked at Kurt with his eyes glowing. "Ill deal." he said and then Zeelith asat as well. "I might as well play too." she said and Chris giggled. "Hey I'm not that bad." she said snd her nodded. "Yes you are momma." he said and then the cards began arching and flying in the air as Chriss shuffled them, showing off a bit foe his new friend. He couldn't help it, no one had seen it besides his momma and grandma sue.
Looking at Isabelle as she explained herself he nodded. "A very clever idea on your part dear." he said smoothly and then pulled out a rosy red colored paper. "Now it won't be perfect since I don't have scissors, but it needs to be a square." he said softly to himself and folded the paler and wetted the fold with his tongue. Faring it very neatly he then set to work, folding, tucking and flipping the paper quite rapidly. He then smiled and offered her the rose. "A beautiful flower for a beautiful lady." he said as he held it out to her, his smile and voice charming.

Izzy couldn't help but laugh when he held out the rose. This was not the first time for a man to see her folding her stars and offer to fold her something, ending with a rose. Though this was by far the best looking one. When he had first taken the paper she had thought he would fold something different but apparently the guys were the same here as they were back home. This simple fact made her feel better. She stopped laughing and wiped her eyes under her glasses. "Oh I'm sorry about that. Right before I came here a man saw me folding stars while I waited for class and he offered to fold me something too. He also folded a rose. Though I have to say yours is much better." She took the rose from him and smiled. "Thank you for the rose and the comment."

She looked him up and down noting the book. "So why are you trying to impress the women around here? Not enjoying your book?" She pointed at his book with the hand that still held her own.

As Isabelle laughed Ksden just smiled and waited for her to calm down. He then nodded and took her comment Ito account. "I see, well I'm glad to have entertained you." he said and then looked at holed, adjusting his glasses as he heard her words. "Hmmm? Oh no I merely wanted to see if I could still fold one, and I spoke the trueth. You are beautiful." he said humbly and then looked at his book. "ah yes, I've read it several times so I know it well. But It seemed like yu were new so I decided to drop in."

Izzy watched him carefully. "I'm sorry. I seemed to have upset you and I understand why. It's just that until I came here I lived in a town that had a total of a hundred people in it. The nearest dorm school to my home is three hours away and religious. I was feeling really lost here earlier. And you just reminded me that while a lot has changed it really isn't that different. Knowledge is still the same and the people are still people." She smiled, "thank you." She waved off the comment of beauty. "Pff.. I'm no beauty. At best I'm cute with personality. No if anyone is good looking it is you." As soon as she said it she clapped her hand to her mouth and turned bright red.

Listening to her words Kaden nodded. "I see." he said and then chuckled. "its very true. People are people." he said and his eyes flashed as he looked away from her and on the ground for a second before looking up. "Really?" he said intrigued as he stepped closer, his hair and hers ruffled by a breeze. "And why do you say that?" he whispered a smirk trying to tug at his smooth lips. He nearly chuckled but reached out and then took a strand of her hair in his hands. "Getting close to those who live behind masks of beauty will drag you down into the danger they lurk in." he whispered almost poetically. "Do not get dragged down." he said and his eyes locked on hers with all seriousness.

Izzy dropped her hand and looked at Kaden with a serious expression then a smirk came over her face. "Beauty is simply beauty. I have to say those are some nice lines. Which author did you steal them from?" She reached her hand up and brushed her hair out of his hand then stepped back. "So Mr. Cross what do you do for fun around here?"

(No worries Esmme :P)

Sarn let her push him even though she said not to strike him, again taking a step back so that he was farther from her then she was obviously aiming at. He did it on purpose though, so he wasn't sure if it counted as a strike. The spear melted and changed form, giving her nothing to hang onto. It had liquified, removing itself from her hands and formed back into a shorter rod type of weapon, about 3 feet in length. He was more used to that and it seemed like distance fight was not going to happen with this teacher. He used it with one had to push her off balance, using his free hand to aim a punch to her face. He didn't think she'd actually let him connect but he gave it a shot anyway. He didn't want to lose.

Kainmins body was shaking; it was terribly visible but she was shaking. The effect of his calming starting to make her body react. And since it was starting to fade, her normal hatred attitude started to show through again. "Normal, idiotic classes that I could be learning anywhere. Except for my language class." She raised an eyebrow. "Were you just blushing? That seems really stupid." She wasn't exactly watching what she was saying anymore.
Kain turned back to the water and then abruptly sat down, not wanting to stand any more. She flipped off the sandals she had been wearing and dipped her feet into the cool water. "What classes do you have?"

Kaden looked at her and then smirked. "My own mind. And my jurnal. If you must know details." he said as he watched her tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "And I don't have fun... Except in advanced classes." he said with a smirk. He then chuckled and then looked into her eyes. "Do you need any help getting settled in the school?"

"Well then your mind sounds like a very interesting book. You should write poetry." She sighed and looked around the campus. "Well that sounds really fun" she told him her voice dripping with sarcasm. She sighed and shook her head. "Sorry, sarcasm is a defense mechaninizm with me. Like I said all of this is completely new to me. I'm still getting over the shock of it not being Tractor Day." She laughed remembering how at her school most of the students would have driven their tractors to school. There would be a line of tractors sitting outside. The day would be full of festives and fresh fruit and veggys. "So do you have any advice for a naive country girl?" She looked him in the eye with a serious expression then winked.

Kaden smirked hearing her sarcasm and then chckled. "Its alright. I can tell, your eyes are windows to your inner most self and soul, I can read your defense mechonism." he said smoothly like it wasn't creepy at all. He was very good and some called him a sociopath. Since he could lie without giving any signs he was and read people like a book. "Advice? Make strong and loyal friends. If you don't run with a pack strays get left behind and beat down." he said seriously and looked at her slowly smiling. "In other words find some good friends." he said a bit sarcastically and a bit teasingly.

Izzy started to smile then stopped changing it for a pout instead. She put her hands behind her back and bent slightly so she could look up at him. "Ah after those lines I was expecting some sage advice. Not the advice I got when first going to high school. Every high school is a pack of wild animals that only wish to destroy the lives of others. And I have a secret..." She stood back up and placed a hand on a hip. "A pack isn't really needed. Confidence is needed and the well placed lie. Oh I'm not a freshman. Oh no, I don't have money. And then of course the appearnce of being completely crazy helps. Though, I might have to change my crazy appearance. I doubt that reading in a corner will work here." She laughed then continued "No, friends would be nice. Though that is just one more thing I'll have to learn. Didn't really have friends at my old school. While I farmed like the rest of them I read just a bit too much and in a place where almost all of our grandparents are illiterate it was suprisingly not a good thing." She looked at him a moment trying to see what he really wanted and finally gave up. She wasn't the best with people and she knew it. "Well thank you for pretty lines and commonplace advice. I'll give the more helpful advice I was given. If someone throws a water ballon at you run. Don't think for a second it actually has water in it." She looked around the campus trying to decide if she should run off after that comment or stay and see what he said. She finally decided she would like to hear what he said to her drawn out comment and weird advice.

Listening to the human Kaden chuckled. Such an odd but straightforward girl. Not like most that he would have swooning for fun. His glasses flashed as he adjusted them and then looked at her. "Hmm yes I have heard that advice before, though I have been the one to throw the water balloon." he said with a mischievious grin. He then looked at her and at some human boys who he rolled his eyes at as they began to wrestle. "Have you been shown to the office and gotten to your dorm little miss reader?" he said with a teasing smile.

Watching Chris as he shuffled and messed around with the cards, Kurt added in the occassional "ooh" or "ahh" where needed. It wasn't long before the two of them were playing around with some slight-of-hand tricks . . . and it was when he heard Zeelith shift her position when the mutant smiled sheepishly. Flicking at Chris with his tail (which he seemed to enjoy doing to get his attention), Kurt nodded toward Zeelith. "Start game now, for her sake?" His yellow eyes filled with amusement. "I have class soon, yah? Only one game."

Kahcra smiled in surprise as she was knocked off balance. She recovered quickly, and knocked Sarn's hand away as he tried to strike her. This boy knew the basics of what he was doing - he could improve. There would be no reason to have him there if he couldn't. The instructor suddenly seemed to grow more imposing - taller and thicker somehow. With a loud hiss, she bore her long fangs in a snake-like motion.
Apparently the fight wasn't over just yet. Recoiling, Kahcra swayed for a moment before lashing out. Her hands grasped either of Sarn's arms, pinning them down with incredible strength. Going for the "kill," the dark-skinned woman bore her fangs and went to "bite" Sarn's throat. Stop me if you can, youngling.

Her comment about his blush made Eric blink in denial. "I wasn't," he said quietly, his blue eyes hardening. It seemed that they weren't going to get along very well. It was then, of course, that Kain plopped down and flipped her sandals off. The tall male didn't follow her lead, but did keep his place beside her. Her question brought more conversation, thankfully.
"Normal classes, I suppose." He frowned as he looked out at the water. "English, Ecology . . ." Eric shook his head. "The only thing that's different from my last school is the swimming. We didn't have a pool." He was actually rather excited about the swimming after school. It was the one stipulation he'd held himself to when he moved to the Academy. He wanted to swim.

((:XD Sorry I didn't reply! It took me a while to remember that it was my turn to reply to people. -_-'))

Izzy found this man very weird. Guys had flirted with her before but had turned tail pretty fast. Yet this man was still standing here talking to her and she had said far less to those other guys. When he messed with his glasses she felt like messing with her own but she withheld the urge. She was still getting used to the darn things. She had been losing her sight for the last year and it had taken the fact that she could no longer read the guide on tv to get her parents to notice. She wanted to ask him what kind of balloon he really threw but decided it wasn't for the best. "Well, I'll just let you know, like I told all those guys back home, hit me when I have my books on me and that will be the end of your worries. If I don't have books on me then you've just started a war your likely to lose." She winked at him before turning slightly to see what he was looking at. It was some guys wrestling. She shook her head and turned back to Kaden. The guys weren't even fighting very well so there would be no fun in watching. "Yeah I've been to the office and seen to my room, sir." If he wanted to start with the miss he would get some sirs. She hated being called miss and hated hun even more.

Chris looked up at Kurt and laughed as he was smacked with his tail and then nodded. Dealing with his left hand since the other was in a cast he smiled and then cringed in pain as he wen to deal the next couple cards. "Chris.... Are you sure you can last until I get home after work?" Zeelith asked worried as she looked at her little boy. He smiled and nodded. "Of course momma. I'm gonna be alright." he said lightly and kept givin out the cards.
Kaden raised an eyebrow and then pulled his book from under his arm. "Well since it seems you have some place to be I shall leave you." he said smoothly and then looked at her again, seeming like he was checking her out. But actually finding her physical weak spot. "Goodbye." he said smoothly and turned from her. He read her well enough, socially awkword and didn't want to have any ties to males. If anything this incounter was just practice for his sociopathic skills.

Kurt smiled. He loved hearing the interaction between Zeelith and her child. It was . . . nice. The blue-skinned male sat cross-legged as he went through the cards he'd been dealt. A rather terrible hand on all counts - but he would do whatever he could. The round went by far more quickly than anyone would have liked - the clock was beckoning for Kurt to hurry further. As soon as the game was over (which didn't take long, considering the hands dealt) Kurt stood. "I be going now, yah?" Leaning over to give Chris a one-armed hug, the mutant chuckled. "See you soon." With a nod to Zeelith, he turned his gaze to Jin. "Should I take him to school medic?"

Smiling as he won Chris grinned before he heard that everybody had to leave. "Okay... See you again?" he asked hopefully and Zeelith ruffled his hair. "Yeah baby, you'll see Kurt again I'm sure." she said lightly and then kissed his head. "Now get packed, you still have to go to grandma Sue's... You can't stay here when the window is broken and dust and pollen can get in." she said and he nodded. "Can I have grandma's pot roast?" he asked hopefully and Zeelith smiled. "We'll have to see baby." she said lovingly. "Do you mind teleporting me too Kurt? And then I'll help you carry him to the medical area."

Sarn was completely taken by surprise when his teacher pinned him, his silver still in one of his now useless hands. He blinked when she spoke...sort of. He still wasn't used to the mental aspects of powers yet. Physical was fine; mental creeped him out. He growled at her as she crept closer to bite. Suddenly he went still as he remembered something he had been practicing during his free time. Closing his now very bright silver eyes, he concentrated, calling to the silver he loves more then anything. The sliver melted again but this time he slid along in the air until he was on his neck again. He was trying to make a shield that would cover his neck. Gasping, he lost the focus it took to move the silver without touching it. His eyes shot open as he expected the pain of her biting him as he had failed.

Kainmin grimaced. "I hate swimming." It usually meant socializing with other people...which, she realized, she was doing just then. Just as quickly as she had sat down, she stood, grabbing her sandals. She looked at him before she turned, ready to leave when she paused. Don't be stupid, Kain. But, of course she turned back anyway. She said rather bluntly, "Look, I'm not used to talking to humans. And I really am not the type for idle chit-chat." Her young face started to look older then she actually is. "I hate people, and there have been no exceptions to that." She took a deep breath, trying to actually stay calm. "But..." She hesitated and looked back at the water, not having the nerve to still be looking at him. So, she said rather quickly, "But-you-listened-when-I-was-playing-my-music. Something-I-enjoy-a-lot. Wouldyouliketolistenagain?" She said the last sentence even quicker, trying to get it out before she lost the nerve.
