Mia had dressed in her red knit sweater top, knee length black pleated skirt, and Mary Jane's with knee high socks. She stood at the top of the stairs that lead down from the staff room's to the main floor. She was watching the students who were newly arrived being met by enrolled students. She was happy with how things were going. So far everyone was being made to feel comfortable.?
Misty was looking over a paper that had some names on them and was trying to figure out who she wanted to help get settled.?

The policeman looked up at the name over the building entrance - The Academy of the Extraordinarily Gifted - then back down at the papers in his hand.? "Seems like this is your lucky day, freak," he said, tugging sharply on the handcuffed prisoner as he headed up the stairs to where a wide set of ornately carved wooden doors were beckoning.? The prisoner, a sullen-looking blond-haired youth, said nothing but followed in the direction he was being led.? Bruises on his face suggested that any resistance had been beaten out of him, but his eyes, which he kept down and staring at the steps he ascended, hinted otherwise.? A second policeman trailed behind the youth, but keeping a wary distance between them and his hand on the butt of the sidearm at his waist.

Once inside, the first cop looked around the foyer but couldn't seem to find a place that served as processing station.? "Excuse me," he called out loudly.? "Is there a Ms. Brookes here?? I have a..." he looked back at his prisoner for a moment "...delivery that she needs to sign for."

(Mia/Misty) Mia had seen the men enter and was quickly making her way down the stairs. She had told the local police several times to not bring the students there in handcuffs and if they were causing trouble, to call for her to come and get them. "Please, remove the handcuffs, I am Ms. Brookes." She informed them and gave a wave to Misty.
"Paper," she said as she reached for the paperwork in the officer's hand. She signed for Roddy and waited for the handcuffs to be removed. She didn't care what he was arrested for, she just knew that he needed a chance. "Welcome to the Academy, Roddy. This is Misty she will help you get settled. Do you have any belongings with you?" She didn't address any of this to the officers. Simply waved them away after they uncuffed the lad.
Misty made her way to stand with Mia and waited until she was introduced before stepping forward to greet the lad.?

"You'll want to keep an eye on this one, Ms. Brookes," the policeman said, eyeing the sullen youth skeptically as he tucked the handcuffs into his belt.? "He's got some kind of weird electrical power that can wreak havoc on any electronic he gets close to.? Metal cuffs were the only thing that kept him from using it.? You might want to get a pair, now that he's your problem." He nodded to Mia and to Misty as he turned to leave but paused long enough to give Roddy a warning look.? "Keep your nose clean kid if you don't want it busted again." And then he and the other officer were out the door.
?
"Assholes," Roddy muttered, glaring at the door and rubbing his wrists where the cuffs had been chaffing him.? He then glared warily at Mia and Misty.? "So this is Mutant High, huh?? What're you gonna do with me?? Teach me to do tricks so I can be a harmless freak and people won't shit their pants when they see me?"? He snorted derisively.? "Like _that_'s gonna happen."

"Yes, they are assholes. And don't pay any attention to what they said. This is The Academy and no, we don't teach students how to do tricks. You are not animals." Mia said with a small grin. "For now, simply get settled in. If you need clothing and necessities, we provide all of that...regular clothing. You only have to wear the school uniform when you are comfortable and ready to...or not. No one is forced to do anything they do not wish. I only ask that for now, please try and not use your abilities until we have a chance to talk and assess what they are and how they work. Okay?"

Roddy regarded Mia warily for a moment, then shrugged.? "Your place, your rules.? For now."? He looked around the entryway.? "So, what's settling in involve?? Any forms I gotta sign?? Pictures I gotta pose for?? I don't suppose I'll get a room to myself, though it might be better for you if I did.? I'm not good at playing with others."

Looking back, the sullen youth glanced at Misty as if noticing her for the first time.? "So, you one of the freaks they've been rounding up for this place?? Or are you just window dressing to make the place seem normal?"

"Settling in involves getting a room, and yes you will have a room mate, one who is a seasoned student and is able to show new students around. There will be some forms, but they will wait until later and yes, you will have to pose for a student id, but that is kept on file."

The blond youth seemed to suddenly deflate inside, like the anger and resentment he'd been holding in just got to be too heavy a load.? "Sorry," he mumbled to Misty, collapsing onto a nearby sofa.? "I don't mean to be an asshole all the time.? I really don't.? I.. I just have trouble being anything else.? It's easier to take people walking away that way."??

He looked to Mia, the surliness and belligerence gone out of him.? "Where do you want me?"

(Mia/Misty) Mia exchanged a glance with Misty, they both knew that this was coming. Roddy wasn't the first person to come into the place all high and mighty to just suddenly deflate after a little bit of time. Some took a day, others an hours, some merely minutes. "I meant to add, why do we need window dressings to appear normal when everyone knows we aren't." Misty said with a smile. "I forgive you. It is okay, I understand. But no one here is going to walk away like others in your past have."
Mia knew he was in good hands with Misty, "just go with Misty and she will take you to your room. We are glad to have you, Roddy...Rod...is Roddy short for something? What would you like to be called?"

Roddy didn't look convinced by Mia's assurance that people at the Academy weren't going to walk away the way others in his past had.? When asked about his name, he grimaced.? "It's short for Roderick.? But please don't call me that.? Always hated that name.? Just call me Roddy.? Or 'Hey, you!'.? Anything but Roderick."

He glanced at Misty as he began following her to see where his room was.? "So, how long have you been here?" he asked.? "And what's your thing?? Is it anything cool?? Or weird?"? He shivered a bit when he said it.? "I've heard about some muties who're real freaks.? I mean, you can tell just by looking at 'em.? I'd hate to be like that.?

(Misty) Misty lead Roddy to the staircase that lead to the upper floor where the bedrooms were. "Oh, me..." She gave him a sly smile then lifted her hand. Her eyes took on a bluish/greyish color and she made a swirl with her hand and it was suddenly snowing on them, "...I create weather patterns. Still learning how to really use it. For now it is mainly small shows like this one." Then she made another gesture and the snow stopped. "Oh, and most of us don't care for the term, 'muties', that will get you beaten up real quick. Mutants is the term used around here or gifted. I prefer gifted. What about you? What can you do?"

He watched as the girl Misty demonstrated her weather control power, drawing snow from the air around them.? It was barely more than a flurry, and a small one at that, but he thought it had a certain charm.? "Impressive," he said.
?
Roddy scowled for a moment when Misty suggested that using the word "mutie" could get him beaten up, muttering "I'd like to see 'em try."? But he quickly calmed himself, remembering that he needed to make a good impression if he wanted to stay.? And with the alternative being sent back to jail and possibly prison, he very much wanted to stay.

When asked what he could do, the young mutant hesitated.? "I can... focus electrical charges," he said finally.? "I can cause them to build up on a target until lightning strikes it.? It's not something I could show you in here though," he said, glancing around the upper floor where they'd ascended to.? "At least, not safely.? Maybe later.? Somewhere outside."? He winced a bit as he added "I'll probably have to demonstrate for your head honchos or whoever runs this place.? I can show you then."

"I was thinking," she went on, returning to her desk, "that we could expand our plans for a gym/training room.? We have the land for it.? It's just a matter of coming up with the funding." She unrolled a set of architectural drawings for Mia to look over.? "What do you think?"

Misty was rather impressed by what Roddy told her, "lightening, really...that's pretty cool. You should be called Bolt or Lightening Rod or something like that. I can create rain, you could create the lightening to go with it...that would be a neat show." She then shrugged, "Ms. Mia and Ms. Del have never asked any student to do anything they don't want to. So, if you don't want to show them, you don't have to. Here is your room. Your room mate is Donovan, he goes by Donny most of the time.

"I'm not going to have to wear some spandex body-suit with lightning bolts drawn all over it, am I?"

He looked the dorm room over, then shrugged.? "It'll do.? I don't need much.? I just wish I didn't have to share it with someone."? Looking back to Misty, he asked "So, this Donny guy.?

She watched Donny working out on the field.? "Looks nice enough," she mused.? "Maybe we could use him in some fund-raising materials.? Or recruiting ads." She then sighed and leaned against her lover.? "Or are we still being discreet and low-profile about everything?"

"Only if you want to," Misty said in response to the spandex body suit. "Well, all new students share a room for a little while. Some decide they like their roommates and they remain so. Others, like their own space. There are not a lot of rooms so it works out. As for Donny, I will let him answer your questions." Misty walked over to the intercom system next to the door. "Here is a list of all the places you might need to contact...in a hurry. Otherwise you are welcome to simply wander the school and take a look around. Announcements are also made through here for important stuff that Ms. Mia and Ms. Del feels needs to be told. And," Misty reached into her pocket and pulled out a card.

Mia listened to Del and she knew all that her love had said was true. Getting the main hall and living areas done was priority. They wouldn't have been able to take in mutants otherwise. "I think we need to start coming out into the light more. After all, mutants are a part of everyday life and whether the general populace believes it or not, they are all around them. Not so sure about recruiting ads, but fund-raising materials might work." She turned around and leaned against the windowsill. "Something to get other mutant's attention to help bring in funds and more support. Have to find some normals who sympathize?with the mutants to help as well."

(Misty) Misty gave Roddy a smile then looked at the time, "He is on the practice field going through his training. He practices everyday at this time. And no, he isn't weird like that, just extremely built." Then she wrinkled her nose at the mention of smoking. "Yes, you may not smoke inside the buildings. There are doors there," she pointed to the other side of the room, "that lead out onto a balcony. You can smoke out there, but close the doors so that none of the smoke drifts inside. Some mutants are very sensitive to smoke. And make sure you clean up afterwards. Don't leave any butts laying around. There is a trash can out there."

(Mia) "Letting the students use their abilities more when in public and showing that they aren't there to harm others. Rich corporate icon..." She kind of mumbled while thinking, "...you know my father just might know someone. After all he does travel in the mutant circles and knows quite a few of them. Maybe we could be too lucky." She said with a smirk.

Misty gave Roddy a smile then looked at the time, "He is on the practice field going through his training. He practices everyday at this time. And no, he isn't weird like that, just extremely built." Then she wrinkled her nose at the mention of smoking. "Yes, you may not smoke inside the buildings. There are doors there," she pointed to the other side of the room, "that lead out onto a balcony. You can smoke out there, but close the doors so that none of the smoke drifts inside. Some mutants are very sensitive to smoke. And make sure you clean up afterwards. Don't leave any butts laying around. There is a trash can out there."

Roddy made a face at the restrictions but then shrugged.? "Okay, I'll be a good boy.? No smoking where it might blow into the building and no butts on the ground."? He glanced over at a set of French doors that led outside.? "The practice field is that way, yes?"? He started to open the door but stopped and looked back to Misty.? "Oh, uh what's this guy's mutant power?? And what does he look like?? In case he's not the only one out there."

"Well, we've been pretty lucky so far.? Just getting this place built in the first place took a good chunk of luck.? And the fact that no one's showed up with protest signs or leaving hate-graffiti on our walls is another bit of luck."? Del chewed on her lip.? "I was kind of worried that something like that would happen.? It has in other towns."? She smiled back at Mia.? "Here's hoping your father comes up with a prospect or two.? A celebrity that people already like would be a super drawing card."
