People left just as quickly as he came. If Mari hadn't called him a cutie when she was leaving he would have started to think he was the reason. Though she did mention something about him joining in a group orgy and showing them how it's done. The meaning was lost on him and he'd definitely have to look it up later. He lingered on the word cutie. The meaning of that wasn't lost on him, but it could have meant a lot of things. When Superman first found him and showed him off to the rest of the Super clan Supergirl called him a little cutie. The meaning was lost on him then until his first day at Corrigan when a girl called him a cutie as she winked. He could tell their use of the word was different by their tones and expressions. He learned to read them pretty well. After that he began researching and found out that it had many different meanings and it seemed that Mari liked him? He mostly doubted that, but it did cause him to smile and think a little.

Freddie and S'tann left after her and Kieran recognized the former's black leather satchel where he was sitting. His attempt at getting closer to his roommate and his friends seemed to fail, but if he were to deliver his bag then surely it could open up more of a connection. He made a mental note of helping people with minor things like that. It wouldn't make him a boy scout, would it? It does sound like something the Man in Blue would do. He didn't want to be just like him. One of the reasons why he agreed to come here was to be able to find his own identity. He'd make an exception in this case though. It [i]was[/i] his roommate's bag. His internal questioning was interrupted by the sounds of screams outside of the mess hall.

Kieran walked over to the satchel and put it on. He looked to the remaining few, but mostly Jack. [color=ed1c24]"I'll see you all around. I have to go."[/color] He gave them a nod and a smile before speeding off. Well, he wouldn't say speeding off. He didn't use his super speed, but just ran normally towards the situation. He arrived in time to see... S'tann help someone? Maybe he fell asleep and didn't realize it. This had to be a dream right? If it wasn't he was really glad that the girl was safe, but S'tann disappeared for a bit. He didn't know what was going on so he used his super hearing to listen to heart rates and the people around whispering to figure out what was going on. He noticed a lot of fear among the crowd still showing that the problem wasn't completely over.

And then the real S'tann showed up to make that even more true. He grabbed a kid and tossed him to the ground. He didn't really recognize him, but this whole situation focused around him. Kieran finally stepped in once Manhunter Jr. started threatening him with a larger than normal fist. He used his super speed this time and ran to Kyle's side. Running into possible battle with a satchel slung across you probably wasn't all that heroic, but that didn't matter to Kieran. He wasn't going to let this clearly scared kid get pummeled.

[color=ed1c24]"Stand down, S'tann. Before I make you. He's [i]clearly[/i] scared out of his mind."[/color] Kieran couldn't have explained it to you at that moment, but he felt a... rush. It was something that he never experienced before. It was a different set of adrenaline than the one he was used to when it came to fighting. He had done quite a few training missions before coming to Corrigan and none of them made him feel like this.
