@Holy Soldier, I have finished my CS

My CS should be in sometime tomorrow.
Looks cool. Mind if I join as the Hunter from Bloodborne?
Mark started to process how he and Will could play off each other as he covered his powers. Sticking to walls was good. Mark could probably fly him around and get him to the ceiling to.....wait, DEFY FRICTION?! As he thought about that little development for a second, he noticed Will was still squirming. "Oh. Right. Bathroom is just over there. I'll wait here. Trust me, you don't want to do these courses with a full bladder."

As Will used the bathroom quickly, Mark tried to strategize. This was only his second year in the program, but this looked like Will's first year in the SCHOOL. He would have to take charge here. Will was likely more agile then him, given the friction powers, so if Lang threw combat at them he could probably just dodge. That meant that Mark should probably prioritize any enemies they might find in there, and let Will focus on any buttons or targets or whatever.

As Will came out of the bathroom, Mark stated "So, I don't know who told you defying a basic law of physics wasn't cool, but they clearly weren't an engineer. That sounds really useful. So here's the plan. If there are any targets or buttons we need to reach, I want you to focus on those. I'll take care of any enemies Lang decides to throw at us. Sound good?"
Mark largely kept quiet as James gave his "big heroic speech". IF they wanted to make a big thing of this, fine, but Mark just wanted to get to work. Too much drama over some stupid prank. Hearing that Will was in their class was a surprise, though. Mark hoped that Mr. Lang knew what he was doing. He figured that he would be put in a group with James. Seeing as he was the boy-scout and all, James would make a good mentor for the first exercise. This was precisely why Mark was so surprised to hear that HE would be paired with Will. Mark wasn't very good at the "social" thing, and wasn't sure if he was the best fit to show the new kid the ropes.

As everyone filed off towards the obstacle courses, Mark was about to protest to Mr. Lang. Before he got anywhere, though, he saw Will give him an apologetic look. Mark couldn't help but be reminded of his own first year at the academy, before he got a handle on his powers. He felt Euclid give a nudge of curiosity at his indecision, before he had an idea. This wasn't going to go the same way. Mark wouldn't let history repeat itself.

Putting on a confident look, Mark walked over. "You're Will, right? I'm Mark. There's a bathroom on the way to the arenas, but make it fast. And don't worry. We all have awkward first days." Mark waited for Will to prepare himself, and motioned for Will to move a little faster to catch up with the group when he finished. Before they stepped in their course, Mark spoke up again. "Ok, crash course before we go in. Abilities. Short version; I have a suit that gives me speed, strength, flight, and is really good for fights. What do you have?" Mark felt Euclid bristle with anger at being called a "suit", but he ignored it. He could fill in the details later.
Mark took stock of the situation as everyone else made sure no one was hurt. Not being much of a people person, he focused himself on making sure no dangerous compounds were released by the rocket. Mark felt an odd itching sensation in his eyes as Euclid took over his optical senses. After a cursory scan, he was certain there weren't any harmful compounds released by the rocket. Return Euclid to its inactive state, he noticed Mr. Lang had sent a security drone to collect them. Great. His first day back and there was already problems. Not one to engage in conversation, he kept quiet as he made his way to the Hall of Heroes.

Mark noticed a number of other students he recognized from the Next Avengers Program also making their way to the Hall. Keeping to the rear, he followed them all in to meet with Mr. Lang. As everyone answered his questions, Mark kept quiet in the back. They could all sum up what happened. He figured he'd just wait until it was time for class.
Sorry I haven't posted. I've been playing Pokemon Sun. Putting up a post now.
Nikomedes





Nikomedes suddenly jerked awake to the sound of his alarm going off. He took a few deep breaths, noticing that his entire body was covered in sweat. Great. Another nightmare. Then again, when you had memories stretching back as far as the six, nightmares weren't all that uncommon. There were a lot of bad memories there. Pulling himself together, he took a quick shower and started getting ready for work.

Niko lived in a small apartment in L.A. It had a small kitchen, and a living area with a bed in the corner. As he sat down for a quick breakfast, Niko got a quick look at his laptop. He had been running a few programs to try and find where the others had been hiding out. His intent was to memorize the data when it came up, then delete the entire application to protect the others. For better or worse, he had yet to meet any luck on that front. "What, do you guys not even go on the internet or something?" he muttered under his breath. Still, Niko didn't mind. It meant that the others were keeping themselves well hidden. In Niko's opinion, it would be better if they never encountered each other than if they were forced together.

Ready for the day, Niko hoped in his car and drove off to work. It had been a slow few days in the precinct, and he had been using the time to study his condition. Not that it did any good without his notes. Maybe this year he would finally have enough money for his trip to Japan to find his time capsule.
Mark continued pulling back as hard as he could. Until someone else gave him a hand, he was the only thing keeping this thing from slamming into someone. Suddenly, he saw black tendrils shoot out of another student's fingers. "Thank you!" He called out. Now that he had help, he didn't have to pull back as hard, and could start to work out a plan. But before he could get much of an idea, a sudden thud into the rocket jerked him around for a moment. When he looked back at it, he saw Charlotte suddenly riding the rocket with about half of her armor on. If his eyes hadn't been replaced with the red optic sensor in the center of his "helmet", Mark would have blinked a few times in surprise.

When James started calling out a strategy, Mark was surprised. Not that James was taking charge, but that he actually knew his name. Still at least somebody had a plan. He slowly positioned himself with Nao so that the rocket would go flying out the door towards James. Mark looked at Charlotte, and simply said, "Good luck. Don't let go." With that, he released his whips, allowing the rocket to take off. The moment the doorway was clear, he flew out through it. As he flew, he felt a strange scratching sensation at his wrists, as his whips retracted.

Mark arrived outside just in time to see the shrapnel start to rain. "Euclid, give me targeting solutions," he called out. As he saw little reticles focus around the larger debris, his right arm shifted into his pulse canon. The liquid metal twisted his arm into a cylindrical looking gun with glowing energy contained in little orbs. He managed to take out about 5 larger metal shards before they began to impact the ground. Euclid's armor naturally protected him against those that did hit him.

Mark softly landed, and Euclid drained away from his body, returning to its inactive state. "Everyone alright? That wasn't really day one material. Where did that even come from?"
I just want to check that Mark's speech color isn't too hard too read. If it is, let me know and I shall change it.
