Nodding in response to Terry’s remark about being shipped off to a horror house of some sort, Tia was about to respond with a sarcastic remark but before she could, a new voice intervened. Sitting across from her was a male that appeared to be about the same age as Terry. Hearing boy’s story about how he was similarly drugged as Terry was, Tia wondered if she too lost consciousness when she was taken to the bus because it didn’t seem plausible that she could suddenly appear in front of a school bus. However the warmth coming from her hot chocolate seemed to prove her suspicion unlikely. 

“Yeah.” Tia responded as Sage introduced himself and then proceeded to ask if they too were sick. As Terry listened as she introduced herself to Sage, Tia looked at her curiously as she mentioned being able to make things fly around. It sounded similar to what she experienced when she was with the man with the suit. Maybe both incidences were related to each other. Maybe they were even related to what happened at the hospital with the needles. However, Tia was skeptical. Making things fly and teleporting only existed in books and movies, things like this doesn’t happen in real life.

“I’m Tia.” The young girl said as she shook Sage’s hand and then proceeded to answer both of the teen’s questions. “Yeah, I think I almost made my mom sick from worry with me being in the hospital and all. It probably didn’t help that whenever the IV needles that the nurses used were messed up or something.” Tia said as she held up her left arm which has a white bandage wrapped around her elbow area. “Which was very unpleasant since the needles would bend and break while it was inside of me, making it harder for them to take out compared to when they stabbed me the first time. Not as weird as being able to see things fly around but there has to be an explanation for that. Right?” Tia said obviously skeptical of what Terry said. “Did you check out the medicine that the doctor gave you? Maybe one of them has a side effect of hallucinating or something like that.”

Josiah nodded as he listened with interest as Jason described his powers. Although it was usually quite easy to see how a power worked, it always interested him to hear everything that went into making a power work and everything that took place behind the scene. “Yeah, I’d feel the same if I were in their place.” Josiah said as he looked towards the teachers. Many were familiar to him as a teacher he had in the past or ones he seen in the halls between classes or heard rumors about. “You have a bus load of angsty, pissed off or confused teens who know less about their powers than about the hormones in their bodies that makes them more irrational than they should be, granted I was in that category when I first came here. You don’t know who is a ticking time bomb or will become a time bomb with either their powers or emotions nor can you always tell who became crazed from the radiation. Personally, I’d take a job as a high school teacher in the heart of New York city before becoming a teacher here.” As he watched the expressions on the faces of the new students as they came off the bus.
