(Akira)
Akira gave Gen a smile as they released their hands from each other. Something about the lad made Akira tingle. "We are all heading to our next classes. Who brought you in to the Academy? Usually new students are taken to the office for in processing. Maybe we should start there, come along." He offered to help Gen out. "Have you had breakfast this morning?"
?
"I don't know if I'm actually in the Academy," Gen said, biting his lip.? "Not yet, anyway.? I was kind of checking the place out, from the outside, last night.? And this nice lady saw me and invited me in, even though it was the middle of the night.? I haven't seen her since then and I haven't been processed at all."
?
The androgyne perked up at the prospect of food.? "I did eat something earlier, but that was a while ago and I'm hungry again.? I... I kind of have this high metabolism, because of all the things my body was designed to do.? So I have to eat a lot more than... than ordinary people do."

(Donny)
"Misty, in charge, Gawd no. She is more the welcome wagon. Mia and Del are the ones in charge so to speak. They actually built the place and wanted it to be a safe haven for mutants. Not everyone is a mutant...some of the teachers aren't. Yes, we have teachers because we are to get an education as well as learn to hone our abilities." He paused as he took a long drink of his water. "Mine, strength. I am able to lift just about anything and I can track through vibrations in the ground. What about you?"
?
(Roddy)
Roddy made a face at the mention of education.? "I never was good at school stuff.? Just barely got by for the most part." He started to reach for the water bottle but then thought better of it.? "Got enough there to share?" he asked, nodding at the bottle.
?
"Me?"? Roddy shrugged.? "It's sort of... electrical.? I mean, I can't shoot lightning bolts at people.? Not directly, anyway.? But if I focus on someone or something, I can make it so that they attract electrical discharges.? If I focus long enough... Boom!" he clapped his hands together for effect "They get zapped by lightning.? I don't even have to touch them.? I just have to be able to see them." He paused a moment, then added "Of course the closer I am to them, the easier it is to cause the charge to build up. Basic physics and all that, but like I said, I was never that good at school stuff."
?
The blond-haired youth hesitated, wondering how much he should share.? Finally he continued, but did so looking at the ground.? "I did some freelance muscle stuff now and then.? I used the name Lightning Rod.? I didn't like myself much, so I'm trying to stop."
