Connor sighed, "I've never considered being rich to be a...necessity" He paused as he watched the screen, frowning. Another disturbing news segment. "um. I'd be happy just working in a garage, inventing and creating. The money is a plus side to that-I can have whatever materials I want" He said, "But it isn't really something i think about" 

He didn't think that anyone on the outside could get into LexCorp. It had to be an inside job. He listened to the announcement over the speaker system, supposed that was the right thing to do, attended the funeral of one of the greatest masterminds. Despite the fact that he had evil tendencies of taking over the world, Connor had admired Lex Luther. But then again, Connor admired many businessmen. It was a tough world out there in the business world, and anyone who could make it, deserved to be respected. 

"Did you know, I actually created an online company, providing blueprints to some wannabe builders when I was 13? They'd tell me their ideas, I'd make them better, I'd get some ideas myself out of it, and I provided the blueprints" Connor said, "For a cost. I've never needed my fathers money, but its nice to know its there. I never provided anything dangerous, just things that people think they need" He smiled slightly, "I once made blueprints for a mechanical dog for a man. He said it was for his daughter who was sick, and desperately wanted a dog, but couldn't have a real one. I made the dog, and even delivered it without cost"

He blinked as Gretchen came passed, and punched Flood in the face. "Well, clearly you've ticked her off" He said politely, pushing his tray away, a cookie in hand, "I'm going to start heading to gym" He said to Flood, "before Gretchen decides she wants to punch someone else, and being in your vicinity might just be dangerous with her around as she seems to have taken an odd liking to you, in the fact that she likes to hit you" He stood, starting out of the cafeteria, deep in thought. 

What was going on in the world? Was the school the best place to be? Wouldn't it be better to just be out there, trying to prevent things from happening? He had seen on the news Sue, as Echo of course, and it seemed better then learning in here. He knew he had a long way to go before being ready, but nothing was better than experience. He shrugged, finishing his cookie, brushing off his hands, looking about. He had noted who had come and gone in the cafeteria, but he hadn't seen Kijani. Now he was starting to worry, and he changed directions, moving through the main building to head to the girls dorms, stopping when he saw Anthony. 

Connor disliked Anthony, but there was a grudging respect there. Not that he would ever tell Anthony that. Still, Connor disliked the way Anthony just seemed to dismiss most of them as useless. And Connor thought he'd stop at nothing to get what he wanted. So he was always wary of Anthony, and not just for that. In his suit, Connor wasn't susceptible to Anthony's powers. Outside of his suit, he was. He wondered if there was some way of creating something that would keep him safe at all times from things like that. He pondered that as he walked towards Anthony.

He stopped, and was able to sincerely say, " I'm sorry for your father's death. It must be a bit of a shock, him being murdered in his own building. I'm surprised you came today" 

And that puzzled Connor. Surely if your father had been killed, you wouldn't go to school. There would be numerous things to take care off, and you'd be devastated. Well, Anthony had always been a bit cold. Still...his mind went back to the News segment, and the 'found with a fatal shot to the head' didn't match the Thanatos killings. Why would Thanatos suddenly change how he killed? Surely he wasn't the only one to notice this. It seemed to Connor that someone was trying to make it seem like Thanatos had been the attacker, but had forgot that one detail. 

He waited for a reply from Anthony.
