Julia's eyebrow cocked at Godot's response. "Well, that's... hm." Not too bad of an origin story, a lot of room to explore! Maybe they'd discover some remnants of a dark past. Especially with how calm and clinical he'd been on the bus. "Alright then, Godot. Just a sec." She searched through her papers for a blank sheet and, failing that, wrote her info on an empty corner and tore it off. "Here. Call me, email me, whatever. Where are you staying?"

Nick tried his best to pay attention in class, but he just couldn't get the events of the previous day out of his head, it was so bad that he didn't even get very much sleep the night before. Eventually the bell rang and the class was dismissed, Nick absentmindedly packed his belongings and began to make his way to the door.

"...Hey, did you hear...?" Nick could hear in the next classroom. "...About that bus that got hijacked..." Nicks blood ran cold, though it wasn't surprising that people were talking about it, it was such a strange occurrence.

"...I know right, do you think it's true, that it was some kind of shapeshifting mutant that stopped it...?" Another voice asked.

"...Pfft, don't be ridiculous, that kind of stuff doesn't happen in real life, this isn't a comic book..." A third voice said. Nick calmed down a bit, realizing that the story was probably too outrageous to believe.

'That's right, this isn't a comic book, people with powers shouldn't even exist, and even less go around fighting crime, what the hell was that Blackbird girl thinking?' He though to himself before making his way to his next class.

Heaven hoped that her comic book speech had worked. She sat down in her seat and leaned her head down on the table. She closed her eyes and immediately wished she hadn't. She was immersed in a daydream. But she knew it wasn't that. She was in a vision. A boy stood before her. Her looked to be about her age. He stares at his hands, then begins to panic. This is only for a minute, and then she's seeing a boy wave his hand over a dead plant. It begins to thrive with life. Heaven is stunned, before being thrown into a room with a woman and a man. But she didn't look like a woman, and he didn't sound like a man. She had manipulated her appearance. And he whirred and clicked. A loud shrill noise interrupted her and Heaven jerked up. She looked around the classroom where many kids were filing out. She shook her head and stood. "Fall asleep?", her friend Lucy joked. Heaven faked a yawn. "Yep." They giggles and Heaven tried to forget the vision. But something wouldn't let her. If she saw it, and it was indeed the future, did that mean that those people- and their abilities- were real?

Callum marched through the hallways reeling about the things that had just occurred.
'Wait, did I do my Maths homework?' He wondered out loud and bumped into a girl.
'Sorry.' Callum called behind him. He didn't have time to wait about. He was already late. Callum got a feeling though, the second they bumped together. It was weird yet comforting like goosebumps.
Anyway, he couldn't reminisce about the collision forever.
'Was that the girl that's called Heaven?' He wondered out loud yet again. It was his annoying habit and it got him into a lot of trouble in class.
As he got to maths his hand glanced that of another student and he got the same feeling as before. This time with a boy he thought was called something like Niall or Nate.
'Nick!' It dawned on Callum. He always liked the feeling of remembering something. The teacher gave him a dirty look though, as the words left his mouth.

Being back in high school was an odd feeling for Julia. She hadn't exactly graduated, because of the whole debacle with her selling answers to exams. In her defense, it had been a rough time for her, and the money was good. As she drifted through the crowds, she wondered if anyone was taking notice of her. She'd managed to make herself pretty inconspicuous- a perfectly average Latina junior. As tempted as she was to just make herself younger, someone might recognize her. Then, she heard a welcome name- someone shouting "Nick!" She glanced over to confirm and, sure enough, there he was. Man of the hour. The only other powered person she knew of. Then the bell rang, the hallways cleared, and Julia had to hide in one of the bathrooms again. She'd catch him after school- the last thing she needed was a teacher asking who she was.

Nick couldn't help but jump when Callum said his name, and then gave him an annoyed glance with the teacher. Callum sat next to him during Math class, he was a good guy from what Nick could tell, but his constant mumbling to himself was a big distraction, especially when his powers picked up on it, which happened much more often then he'd like to admit. He tired his best to drown out any excess noise and focus on the teacher's lecture, if his powers were good for anything, it was paying attention in class.

The rest of the day went smoothly, he woke up a bit more after lunch and so his last few classes weren't a problem. Still, somehow, he had the feeling like somebody was... watching him all day, it was really strange and it creeped him out. However, there didn't seem to be any indication of anyone following him, just normal students in the hallway, so it was probably just his nerves. He eventually made it to his locker for the last time that day, taking his belongings and making his way out of the school.

A daily routine of Kelly was one partially of confusion and frustration as she had never had a family only a Futa mother who went missing that she wants to find and an orphanage, her powers were mostly this weird phenomena that protected her from the mean boys yet she couldn't control it yet so it made her mad, as for the news reports she never feels anything but a want to help people, she's mostly quiet up until recently and having lived in the orphanage since 5 she really misses her mom but she doesn't dislike her orphanage Sisters and brothers of them she is actually quite fond yet non of them are powered

Getting out of the orphanage to find a home of her own, she wandered out into town and was soon confronted by some thugs who chased her into an alley way and then of course you think her powers would activate but they didn't*

Thugs: hey little girl where's your mommy ?

Kelly: she's not with me"

Thugs: well ain't that a shame"

Julia was leaned up outside the school, watching the main exit for a sign of Nick. She'd put her mirrored sunglasses back on, as standing out wasn't as much of a problem. As soon as she saw her target, she weaved through the crowd up behind him, and walked beside him. "So, Nick. Nice school. How've you been?" She lifted her glasses, giving him a wink with her mercurial eyes, and didn't bother to give him time to answer before launching into her speech. "Look, now that you've had time to think on it, you should really consider embracing yourself. Denial's not healthy, and I want to help you, as a friend. So what do you say?"

*as the thugs closed in things got real quiet and the trash cans behind the thugs started to wobble*
Thugs: huh ?
*one of the 4 of them was immeadiarly smashed into the wall by the trash can not fatal, but he's not consious*
Kelly: *in a very deep voice* why must you fools who pick on me never learn, why must i beat you senseless ?"
*the second thug turns and punchs the 3rd one and then he is released from kelly's control as the 3 consuous thugs grab the 4th one and leave*

Kelly: *her voice goes back to normal* much better"

*she starts to walk to the highshcool curious as to what the building is for with so many people in it*

Nick walked through the crowd of students, relishing the moment of being inconspicuous, nobody would've been able to tell the difference between him and the other normal students, this was what he wanted, to just fit in, and be normal. However, he was brought out of his thoughts when that girl came up to him.

"Uh, do I know..." He was interrupted when she revealed her eyes to him, making him freeze in complete horror. '...No, it's...it's her, she's here, at my school... no... NO!!" He exclaimed in his head as his body shook in terror and his eyes widened to the size of saucers. At that moment his powers activated, allowing him to hear some of the whispers of the other students whose attention was grabbed by Blackbird's speech.

"...Grr, come here." Nick practically ordered as he grabbed Blackbird's wrist and dragged her to a more remote area behind the school. He did a quick check with his powers to make sure that nobody had followed them and then erected a sound proof barrier, so that nobody could hear them. Once all of his precautions were in place he let go of her hand and faced her.

"What the hell are you doing here, I thought I told you to leave me alone?!" He said, both frustration and fear evident in his voice.

Saw the students and was curious*

"hmm what is it that happens here, do they learn here and get taught things, hmm well my buddies at the orphanage never talked about this place"

Callum walked out of school. Another hard day done. He was leaving the grounds when he saw Nick.
'Maybe I should talk to him?' Callum wondered. But then he saw someone was with him.
'Better not.'
