The meeting place for the students being picked up was a rather inconspicuous looking location. A few miles out of New York City, in a field of a worn down looking farm. The students ranging from just hanging out and talking, to others that seemed a bit confused about the location and reason for being there.

One such student, although he looked like he was quite fit, was also carrying enough luggage to equate what seemed like more than just two people. A few duffle bags slung around an arm and across his back. Wearing an athletic sleeveless shirt, and green cargo pants. Theodore, or Teddy as most people knew him, was glancing around at where him and his boyfriend were instructed to be. While there was a lot to be said about the secretive nature of where they were going. A farm, one which looks abandoned much less. Seemed like a weird place to have an academy for super powered teenagers.

"I don't know..." Teddy finally muttered as he leaned against his rolling luggage. "SHIELD never stuck me as the trolling type. Are you sure this is where we're suppose to be?" Teddy asked looking over.

"I'm about as sure as you are Ted." Billy replied, taking a furtive glance at the stragglers lingering about here and there. Billy wasn't sure who was who or even what they were. He knew he and Teddy were "super-powered" or whatever the correct term SHIELD was using. "Captain America didn't exactly leave a detailed map or anything."

The entire affair seemed ... incredibly unremarkable, given their powers at least, then again, maybe the other teens are like him, maybe they were hiding it, after all, all their powers would be on show once they hit class right?

"You sure you don't want a hand with those bags?" Billy asked, looking up at Teddy who effortlessly carried them all, his rather fine arms on show with his sleeveless shirt. Billy almost blushed almost. Teddy really was the cutest boyfriend anyone could ask for. He still sometimes found himself wondering how on earth he'd found Teddy and why on earth Teddy picked him. Billy Kaplan. The skinny Asgardian-fanboy, uber-geek who couldn't even hide his power-level as he wore a shirt with a space ship and the quote "Please Take Me" on it.

What was even better ... Teddy was not only gorgeous, but a massive geek as well. Sometimes Billy thought he'd dreamed him up, but he really was too good to imagine.

"I was expecting some guys in suits or something ... I dunno." Billy shrugged, "I sorta hopped Thor would show up too, how cool would that be?!"

Teddy chuckled, grinning with pearly whites showing as Billy had a moment of geeking out at the idea of Thor showing up. That boy and his loving of the Norse mythology turned strangely real. "Last I heard Thor's probably got Avengers business to be babysitting us." Teddy noted as he adjusted the bags on his shoulder.

"Captain America basically made a housecall to get us to join up y'know." Billy pointed out, although Teddy had a point... Thor was busy looking after Asgard and Midgard and every other bloody realm. Why would he wrangle a bunch of teenagers to class?

"It's alright, I have the power to handle all this. Not unless you'd like to figure out how to make yourself all big and strong to handle it all." Teddy joked, licking his chops a little at the thought. Still he glanced around at the other probably students. At least it was a nice late summer day.

Suddenly though the sunshine started to be blotted out by a massive shadow overhead. When Teddy started to look up his eyes widened at the massive ship overhead. It touched down nearby, the back opening to reveal a small group of people dressed in admittedly nice suits. Led by a man with balding hair and shades on. "Alright, those of you that aren't freshmen you know the drill." He started, seemingly undermining the big impressive entrance. "Those of you who are new, have your papers ready, we'll shuttle your luggage and vehicles on board. When you get on go ahead and take a seat in the designated area. As soon as everyone's on board we'll be heading out to the academy. It's out in the Atlantic Ocean just for today." He told everyone.

As Teddy hoisted the rest of the luggage up. His arm turning green as it stretched out, wrapping around the rest of the luggage with no problems. His other hand tapped Billy on his shoulder. "You have the paperwork right?" He asked, praying today wasn't the day Billy had a brain fart. Leaving the paperwork at his parents' house or in the car his mom drove them there in.

Billy was lost in thought, looking in awe at the huge vessel that touched down so cavalierly. The tap on the shoulder snapped him back into the present. "Oh- Papers, right..." Billy rustled around his pockets, his shoulder bag- Oh no, today could not be one of those days.

"Dammit" he grumbled, his search proving fruitless. "Nice one Kaplan. You had ONE job, one easy job."

Billy pouted and ducked his head down, knowing full well Teddy would notice that he had mislaid their papers. Good thing he had powers, hopefully he wouldn't need to use his powers to stop Teddy teasing him afterwards.

"IwishIhadourpapersIwishIhadourpapersIwishIhadourpapersIwish-" BAM! Billy exhaled in relief, flipping through the slips to make sure everything they needed was there. At least he hadn't screwed up entirely. He perked his head up and flapped the papers in Teddy's face.

"Yep. Papers. Check."

Billy looked over at the groups of students shuffling toward the man who'd stepped out of the ship. A lot seemed confused, much like Billy and Teddy, others lazily tagged along, seemed more at ease. One girl stood out though. Long blonde hair and a confident stride.
"Out of the way. Move it losers." the mysterious girl swanned her way through, pushing a paper into the suited mans hand. She tapped her foot impatiently as he scanned the paper, not that he needed to, she was hardly forgettable.

"Karla."

"Coulson." she replied, disinterested, she just wanted to get this show on the road, she and Melissa had plenty to catch up on (or rather she had to find a way to one-up Melissa in their constant competitions...).

Billy inched a little closer to Teddy, unconsciously, not really noticing. He had no idea who this girl was, but if there were other students like her... he hoped this wouldn't be like high school only with people who could blast him to pieces.

"...Delightful..." Was the only thing Teddy could say or even felt like saying about the girl who had just boarded. She seemed like a real winner in life. Either way Teddy just quietly rolled his eyes as the two got up to the agent.

"So thankfully Billy you're only partially a goof." Teddy teased Billy as Coulson was given the paperwork. Coulson examining all of it before noticing their names.

Billy nudged Teddy in response to the teasing, but kept quiet as Coulson looked over their documents.

"Ah Steve mentioned the both of you..." Coulson noted. Pointing to both boys. "The two of you are some of the first to be... in a relationship like this." Coulson visibly tried to think of a mature way of putting it but just went with the simple route. "He's been considering the rooming request the both of you had. But wanted me to pass on he's accepting it so long as the both of you maintain good grades and it doesn't prove to be a distraction..."

Billy blushed at the mention... 'Captain America ... specifically mentioned me and Teddy...?' his brain spiraled, half fan girling, half-terrified they were in trouble since the requested to room together.

Teddy beamed at the news, his free hand going up for a high five from Billy. "Awesome!" He exclaimed. Both at the personal consideration from the awesome one, to being able to stay with Billy.

Billy blinked, dumbstruck, before returning Teddy's high-five, though the news was so good he would rather have kissed him, but that would hardly reassure Coulson that this wouldn't be a "distraction".

"Wicked!" Billy agreed, a shy grin unfurling across his face.

Teddy unloaded all the luggage for the SHIELD agent who began putting them into the bay of the ship. As Teddy teased Billy some more, seeing if Billy needed to conjure up something else before they leave. As the two got into the seating area it felt like something out of a roller coaster. The horizontal facing seats were encased in little bays, with a buckle which looked like those ones on roller coasters.

Teddy began to strap himself in, patting the seat next to him. "Man this is crazy, like we're in a SHIELD ship. We're going to a school that's on a bigger ship. Plus now that I'm thinking about it..." Teddy noted, "Didn't the Fantasticar even show up at one point while we were all waiting for this thing to arrive? Man this is all weird..." Teddy noted as he got himself strapped in.

Billy eased into the seat beside Teddy. They'd fought some petty criminals together with their awesome powers, and that had been exhilarating ... but this was something else entirely. Billy was anxious, excited too, but still anxious. Worried about not being good enough, being too good and accidentally hurting someone ... His hand slipped into Teddy's. Teddy always calmed him down when he was nervous or upset or angry.

"Yeah ... I can't quite believe we're here either." he agreed. It was nothing short of surreal.

It had been a sombering day in the Baxter Building as the roof's bay for the fantasticar opened. In the back of it was a heafty amount of luggage and furnature. Susan and Reed Richards, along with Susan's brother Johnny and Ben Grimm, all having helped to take care of all of it. Although there was a good mood in the air, it wasn't hard to see the married couple looking wistful as it was going.

The reason, was that Franklin Richards, their older son, was leaving. After SHIELD reached out to them to have Franklin attend their academy. They jumped on the idea, Franklin could use further training on his powers and ability. More so though, they knew Franklin was a good kid, and seemingly got along well with others. It was still there though, that lingering difficulties Franklin had that came from the time Doom kidnapped him. So the two hoped the academy would help him there. Maybe even give him more of a social life outside of the Baxter Building.

"Alright everything's packed up and ready to go right?" Susan asked around as the Fantastic Four were all at the bay. She glanced around at the men who all gave nods and thumbs up. "Should be all good ta go Sus..." Ben noted, stopping for a moment to give Franklin a supportive rub on the head. "Kid should be all good ta go. Bet you're glad to be flying outta da coop huh?" Ben asked.

Franklin was a mix of emotions, excitement but also a slight worry. What if he did something wrong? He shook the thoughts out of his head and went to help out somewhat. He stopped as Ben gave him the head rub and chuckled. "Glad is one word." He grinned at his godfather before looking at his mother. He could see that wistfulness in her eyes and moved to her giving her a hug. "It'll be great." He hoped that would help her feel better, but knew she would miss him.

He looked over at Ben. "Now who are you going to use as a buffer between you and Uncle Johnny?" His beam of a smile showing. He then made his way to get ready for lift off.

As Franklin got into the Fantasticar Susan turned to Johnny. The two talking quietly with one another for a moment before Johnny patted Susan's shoulder. Soon Susan and Reed hopped in, with Reed starting up the flying vehicle before it started to leave. Despite the open air concept of the vehicle, the ride was very quiet. Finally Reed turned to look at Franklin, trying to give his son a warm smile. "So Rogers told me they have high hopes for you..." He noted, from a meeting Rogers had with them a few weeks ago when they signed the final paperwork. "He said he sees a lot of potential in you. I know your mother and I certainly feel the same way." Reed assured his son.

Franklin blinked at his father before managing a smile. "That is awesome!" He nodded. "Thank you I will make you proud." He meant that. Part of him felt like he had to make up for what happened. That maybe he had to prove himself in a way. Though, he hoped he could live up to whatever it was Rogers saw. He shook his head as his mind trailed back to his kidnapping and what happened. He refused to let that damage who he was now. He wanted to create a new path and this was the way to do it. Work in a team and show what he was capable of.

The rest of the ride over was fairly uneventful, small talk between Susan and Reed. Soon they arrived to the field where everyone in the area was meeting up. SHIELD was going to bring them from there to the helicarrier that serves as the academy grounds. As the two touched down the crowd of young people already there did look star struck by the arrive of a famous super hero family. Some even approaching Reed and Susan for photos and autographs which they did. Though tried to keep things quick so they could focus on their son. Getting Franklin's things unpacked before finally there was a moment with Susan and Reed in front of their son.

"Well... this is it." Susan noted, clearly putting on a brave face, but the moment was building a bit. "The big day." She added. Finally she leaned in, giving Franklin a big warm hug. "Its a good thing I won't have to wait long to see you for Thanksgiving and Christmas break huh?" She asked before finally letting go. Turning away for a moment as Reed approached his son.

"Alright you show the academy what a member of the Future Foundation can do okay?" Reed told his son. Finally stretching his arms around Franklin for a hug of his own which had the arms go around Franklin a few times. "Come on, give your old man a nice stretchy hug." Reed suggested playfully.

Franklin seemed to ignore the crowd that apprached and did their usual thing of autographs and pictures. Luckily, this round was kept short and there could be more of a family moment. Franklin looked at susan and hugged her back. "Yeah, I'll see you soon I promise." She turned and soon he was approached by his father. He grinned and nodded. "Yes sir!" the playfulnes in his tone showing while he used sir he in no way meant it in a very serious way.

Franklin found himself in an arm cocoon thanks to his father and laughed before wrapping his own arms around him. In hind sight, both of them stretching arms around each other might not have been the best idea since it could result in tanglement, but Franklin did not seem to care at the moment.

As Reed and Franklin hugged one another in the hug they've done even since Franklin's power switch. One that has resulted in them getting into a tangled mess with one another a time or two. Reed pulled away, giving a long sigh himself, which caused his chest to puff out notably under his button up shirt before shrinking back. "Alright you have our number, please call us whenever you feel like it. I promise no matter what we're doing we'll respond." Reed told Franklin.

Finally as Susan and Reed got back into the Fantasticar. Susan clearly finally giving into her emotions and tearing up. The two took off into the sky, leaving Franklin on his own for the first time ever.

Franklin waved as his family flew off and braced himself before turning around. He exhaled and made his way to Coulson. He pulled the papers from a pocket of his jeans he was wearing and waited as he scanned them. When he was allowed on board he made his way on board and quickly scanned the place before finding an open seat and nestling in there.

---

Warren looked at his home filled with mutants packing in the moments they had before leaving. He shifted the duffel he held from one hand to the other before nodding and patting a wall. This was it, his time to join a team. He lightly made his way out of there and shot into the air before the rest of the mutants were even on board the black bird.

His powerful white wings carried him with ease ahead of the black bird meant for the mutants. He had a good head start on the plane and while Warren could have sat in that thing, he much preferred to use his wings. He held his things in his arms and had a carefree smile on his face. Flying was his favorite thing to do. The freedom these wings gave him were so much more valuable then anything else he had.

He landed lightly and folded his wings to his back. There were teenagers all over the place and that made him a tad uncomfortable. Some shot glances at his wings while others continued to ignore him. He rolled his shoulders. He would be fine. He made his way to Coulson and handed him his papers. A look from the papers to him and then a nod lead to him making his way on board. He would have preferred to fly, but not choice with this he guessed. A quick scan around the place and he found a secluded seat away from the others. His wings tight against his back as he sat down and prepped himself for take off.

As the jet flew through the sky on its way out to what was presumably the academy. The long windows on both sides of the jet showed various other jets joining in. The jets coming in from all around the world. Soon though after what didn’t seem like much time. The view of the academy finally came into view as it laid out in the currently calm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Although a large portion of it is inside of its metallic frame. The top of the helicarrier actually resembles more of a traditional academy or even college looking setting. The grounds were set up to have natural grass, stone paths, and buildings that although look like they were made with traditional bricks. Are more structurally strong metal buildings that led into various areas of the academy.

Still the jets landed inside of a large hollowed out opening at the front. Pulling in before letting the students leave. Although some students clearly needed some space to empty their stomaches from the jet ride. The majority of students got their luggage and were making their way to numerous places. Some going to find old friends to reunite and make up for lost time. Others headed out to go check out their new home for the next few months. The majority though were heading over to a long table where students were getting their dorm rooms, and their ID cards.

Teddy got separated from Billy as the two got off the jet. Though Teddy didn’t mind, he already knew from the earlier news they got they’re both sharing a room. Teddy hasn’t been able to stop smiling after that, hell he hasn’t been able to stop smiling ever since the day started. Especially looking around and seeing all the different people. Some normal people, some who certainly didn’t look normal under any means. There was a lot of infectious excitement in the air still.

As Teddy got to the long table, a row of staffers at laptops awaited him. Thank God he only had to go to one of them, he’d probably be there all day. As he handed the older looking woman his paperwork she keyed in the details onto her laptop. “Alright you’re rooming with...” Before she could finish Teddy held up a hand to politely cut her off.

“Billy Kaplan... I was given the spoiler alert earlier today.” Teddy joked as the woman gave him an understanding nod. The woman used a small camera to get a picture of Teddy before she went to get his ID card. Which according to the paperwork doubled as his dorm room key. ‘Ooo like a fancy hotel...’ Teddy thought to himself while he waited. As he waited though he turned, noticing the girl standing next to him. Who was also waiting for her ID card.

Although she pulled it up for her picture. Her purple tinted shades were the first thing Teddy noticed on her. Along with the stylish looking shirt and jeans. The girl was chewing away on a piece of bubble gum as she glanced around half bored herself. Only when she noticed Teddy she took a deep breath.

“Okay let me go ahead and start with this...” She noted with an index finger. “If you start talking about someone you hate like you’re about to have a hot make out with them. I’m going to scream and I can’t promise I’ll stop.” She told Teddy who paused, slowly fighting the laugh he wanted to belt out. His face not hiding it very well.

“Uh... well I mean I do have a boyfriend who I’ll probably make out with later. I don’t know if I feel like talking about him though.” Teddy noted, “No you just look familiar...”

The girl paused, finally sighing in relief before chuckling herself. “Oh... sorry.” She cringed slightly, “Some girl on the ride over wouldn’t shut up about some Kayla chick. Like she hated her but loved her at the same time. God I wanted to punch her in the mouth...” She giggled it off before raising her shades up onto the top of her head. Holding out her other hand. “Kate Bishop, Eagle Eye...”

Teddy felt his brain go into motion at the name when he reached out to shake her hand. “Teddy Altman, Hulkling.” He paused for a moment as he retracted his hand, only to snap his fingers. “Oh I remember you! You’re the one who saved her sister’s wedding from those terrorists. Now you’re being personally mentored by Hawkeye.” Teddy rattled off like the walking superhero wikipedia he was.

Kate, stunned for a moment by Teddy’s freakish knowledge, finally smiled and shook her head. “Damn, you sure know your people who shoot arrows trivia...” Kate teased.

Teddy blushed slightly, scratching the back of his head. “Its more Avengers trivia in general, its kind of pathetic how much I know about all of them.” Teddy noted before looking around. Curiously he watched Billy start to walk up behind him. Though if it wasn’t the fact Billy had changed clothes, wearing a different t-shirt with athletic pants and a beanie covering the top of his head. It was the demeanor, something that didn’t feel like Billy at all. Still, there was no denying the guy was Billy by the look of things.

“Hey Billy, why did you change your clothes babe?” Teddy asked, mildly concerned. “Oh check it out by the way, its Hawkeye’s pupil Kate Bishop!” Teddy noted as he gestured to Kate who gave him a nod of the head.

Billy had the tremendous misfortune of running into Karla Sofen ... whom he promptly tried to distance himself from. She didn't do anything mean off the bat ... she was just hella intimidating. How could someone have so much self confidence and such a commanding presence?! Fortunately a girl with a pink streak through her silvery-blonde hair seemed to catch the blonde girls attention. It seemed they were students from last year, quick to pick up an old rivalry. If Billy wasn't so acutely afraid, he'd have grabbed popcorn (or rather he'd have conjured some popcorn magically) and watched the sparks fly like in Mean GIrls.

"Karla"
"Melissa"
"Did you spend all summer on your ass topping up your tan or are you going to be some healthy competition in combat training this year? That would make a change"
"Cute" Melissa smirked sarcastically. "You still stealing powers or have you finally developed some talent of your own?"
"I'm not going to say I missed you ... but I guess Avengers Academy would be dull as shit without you"

Girls are confusing ... I'm so glad I'm gay Billy mused to himself, gladly separating himself from Moonstone and Songbirds reunion. Billy wandered around campus to the various checkpoints he was supposed to go to for registration. He wondered how Teddy was getting on but barely had a second to dwell on him before he ran into Franklin, immediately recognising him of course, becauseof his ties to the famous Fantastic Four.
"Oh my god!" he gasped. "You're Franklin Richards- Whoa" It took Billy a couple of seconds to realise he ought to extend his hand for a handshake and he politely presented it to Franklin. "Are you new here too?" he realised he'd stupidly forgot to introduce himself, standing around awkwardly gawping at Franklin, and Franklin having no idea who on earth this strange fanboy was. "Sorry I- Um, I'm Billy Kaplan, Asg-" Wait ... his brain slammed on the breaks ... he was supposed to be working on a new nickname. Don't say Asgardian, Don't say Asgardian ...
"I have like um ... Asgardian ...Thor powers, yknow but without the hammer ... shooting lightning ... flight ... Yeah" he corrected himself. Smooth Kaplan ... real smooth ...

Tommy on the other hand impatiently wandered around campus. He'd already sped through the registration, now he was bored and he tended to get into mischief when he was bored. That wouldn't be a great start ... He sorta wanted to impress Captain America ... anything was better than juvie. He was loitering around like a spare part until Teddy started talking at him ... Not to him, but rather in his general direction, enough to catch his attention at least.

"Who the hell is Billy?" Tommy asked, looking up at the tall blonde who was yammering on about some Billy kid and looking right at him. He scrunched up his nose in confusion (kinda sorta exactly the same way that Billy did when he was confused). Aside from the silvery white hair ... Tommy was utterly identical to Billy, he moved similar (though a little faster ... or a lot when he used his powers), they had the same physique and facial features. Their attitudes were considerably different though. Tommy was brash and bold, Billy was quite reserved and hesitant.
He gave a confused wave as Teddy introduced him ... or rather Billy whom he thought he was talking to, to Kate Bishop.
"Tommy" he replied to Kate, correcting Teddy whom he shot a funny glance before focusing back on Kate.
"What are you in for then?" they didn't just select anyone for Avengers Academy it seemed ... so what made Kate so special, why'd she get to hang out with Hawkguy?

Teddy’s very warm and happy disposition immediately soured into hurt and confusion. Nothing about what was happening made sense. It was Billy, but... it wasn’t? Kate could tell something was up, although she gave Teddy a look that suggested that his ‘boyfriend’ wasn’t exactly great. Though she was a bit confused as well as Teddy seemed perplexed by the situation.

“Well no I came here by choice...” Kate noted folding her arms at Tommy and shrugging her shoulders. The guy had a bit of a sour attitude to him. Still the situation was uneasy as Kate still acknowledged the other guy next to Teddy. Kate though was given her academy ID and immediately started turning and leaving the boys.

Teddy glanced over at Tommy one more time, not sure what to say or do before leaving to catch up to Kate. “Hey uh... sorry about that.” Teddy awkwardly muttered as he rubbed the back of his head. “I swore that was my boyfriend Billy... I mean like it was seriously him.” Teddy told Kate who just stopped him before he could babble out anything more pathetically.

“Look don’t worry about it, first day jitters I’m sure.” Kate suggested to Teddy who glanced back, barely seeing ‘Tommy’ in the crowd now.

Teddy sighed before looking back, it couldn’t have been that. Still he tried to let it slip from his head. “Yeah, I guess...” He finally half-admitted. He hoped he wasn’t coming off as a complete looney to the archer. She seemed like she wasn’t really having a problem with him, more just the moment the two found themselves in just a moment ago.

“Hey...” Kate piped up with, “You seem like a fitness guy, you want to come check out the athletics area? Clint was telling me how amazing it is and I really want to go see it!” Kate suggested to Teddy who also quickly perked up at the idea.

“Oh yeah! I really want to go check it out too. You know in high school I was varsity in a few sports.” Teddy started into, Kate listening as the two headed over to check out the athletic area of the academy.

Franklin had been making his way along each check point. Not really meeting people, simply going through the motions. He was at another point when he heard someone gasp. He turned and tilted his head. "Yep I'm Franklin" he shook the guys hand and nodded. "I most certainly am new here" the guy started stuttering and Franklin slipped his hands into his pockets.

Franklin did not seem fazed by the need out or the stuttering and smiled. "That is really cool." He paused a moment then gave a head tilt once more. "So want to hit the rest of the check ins with me?" He hadn't met anyone else yet so why not. He was supposed to try to be better around people anyway.

---

As soon as warren stepped off of that plane his wings spread out. That metal tube had felt very constricting to say the least. Getting his id he looked around at all the new faces. He then shrugged and started heading to the athletic area.

His way of dealing with feeling cramped was doing exercise of some form. The down side to having wings is small spaces feel ever so uncomfortable. He would fly, but given that he just got here he probably should not do that.

((I'm finally back!!!))

"So want to hit the rest of the check ins with me?" He hadn't met anyone else yet so why not. He was supposed to try to be better around people anyway.

Billy had to reign in his emotions and stop himself from immediately nodding his head like a bobble-head toy when Franklin asked if he wanted to join him for the rest of the registration process. Holy Heimdall this is too cool! Billy still couldn't believe he was talking to Franklin Richard's, the guy who's parents made up half of the Fantastic Four...
"I heard you can wield Chaos magic, right?" he asked, he'd kept his own powers somewhat secret, downplaying his own potential because he wasn't sure what he was capable of, and it frightened him sometimes, but Franklin ... maybe he knew more about Chaos magic, looking at his parents alone, Franklin had the means to learn more about Chaos magic than Billy. He often shuddered at the thought of telling his very Jewish parents that he was a practicing witch, much less asking them to explain that to him ... At the very least, Franklin's parents knew what he was, plus Sue and Reed were super geniuses, if they didn't know much about Chaos magic, they'd find out something, they'd assess Franklin's abilities and potential.

Billy adored his parents, but it was hard keeping things secret from them ... like his boyfriend ... Although they liked Teddy they just didn't know they were dating ... Being able to confide in Teddy and learn about his powers with Teddy's help had been a tremendous relief, and now Captain America ... the Captain America was interested. He didn't have to hide here, and yet ... He still played down his powers, it was safer that way, but learning ought to help him sleep better at night and where better to learn about his abilities than Avengers Academy?!

"Where are you goin' in such a rush Grandpa?" Karla scoffed, giggling with Melissa out on the green.
"Rush? You ain't seen nothin' yet, Barbie" Tommy scoffed, glaring at the blonde haired girl staring him down.
"Really? Prove it." she shot back.
Tommy hated being bitched at ... before she could even blink, he moved, lightning quick, pushing her over, she landed right on her ass and he reappeared in his original position looking smug.
Karla blinked and growled, before her frown melted into a smirk and she started laughing. Melissa watched, dumbfounded.
"Who are you?" she asked, Melissa pulling her back up onto her feet.
"None of your business, Barbie" Tommy grumbled.
To his surprise, the blonde didn't seem particularly phased by Tommy's curt responses. "I'm Karla, this is Melissa ... Come find us if you get bored of Stark and Rogers breathing down your neck."
"Whatever." Tommy wandered off. Was everyone on this campus a complete dunderhead or was he just exceptionally unlucky today to bump into every idiot on campus?! First that stupid blond dude, now this bitch ugh!

Franklin stopped moving as soon as Billy mentioned chaos magic. His form went rigid and he shook his head. His voice was lowered a stark difference from the more upbeat self a moment ago. "Not anymore....I....don't have that ability now" his eyes shut before a hand went roughly through his hair and he managed to put on a facade.

Franklin smiled and it was obvious by his eyes that his past was something he'd rather not think about. "I'm guessing that's something you can do? That's cool" Often Franklin wondered if he had made the right choice. That changing his own abilities was thee right path. Though, after what happened, he did not think he wanted those abilities back. They simply reminded him of that...event.

Franklin turned and motioned for Billy to walk with him. Billy seemed cool and it wasn't his fault that he triggered the pain Franklin had. Franklin was broken and that was not anyone else's fault.

---

Warren had been heading to the athletic area before he paused. He really should check on his room and see if his roommate was there. Kind of get to know who he would be bunking with. He looked at the bag he was holding before changing directions and heading toward the rooms.

Moments later he opened the door to his room and headed in. He dropped his bag on a bed and stretched his wings ruffling as he did so.
