A loud and annoying ringing began sounding from a nearby alarm clock, causing Conner to calmly get up and shut the alarm off. Rubbing some faint exhaustion out of his eyes, Conner began his usual routine of getting ready for the day. Brushing his teeth, washing his face, etc, etc. When Conner first came here, he wasn't sure what to think of the place. He didn't trust it, really. After all, a school where people with "gifts" like him could get help and be protected sounded just too good to be true. In Conner's mind, it was not possible. Sure, he came here to avoid his father, but that didn't mean he would just decide to trust the place.

So, Conner spent the month learning what he could about the academy. He learned the names and faces of everyone he came across. He learned the locations and uses of each place he visited during the tours. He even studied how the scientists and doctors who examined the students' bodies acted. After 3 and 1/2 weeks, though, Conner finally came to the conclusion that this school was truly here to help people like him. This was the safest place for him.

With a sigh, Conner left his dorm room and headed to another nearby dorm room, then knocked on the door by rapping his knuckles on the door three times. After a brief period of waiting, the door opened, revealing a brown-haired girl wearing pajamas and a cap, who clearly looked like she just got out of bed. "[color=ed1c24]'Morning, Conner,[/color]" Kimberly greeted sleepily, but cheerfully. "[color=ed1c24]What's up?[/color]"

"[color=00aeef]Today's the first day,[/color]" Conner said, while also tapping his watch. "[color=00aeef]Seven. Thirty.[/color]" For a moment, Kimberly was confused, but as her mind caught up, her eyes widened in surprise and she slammed the door closed as she rushed back to get ready. Conner merely leaned against a wall and waited as Kimberly got ready for the day. 

Eventually, Kimberly threw the door open, now fully awake and ready for the first day of the academy. "[color=ed1c24]Sorry for the wait, Conner! Let's go![/color]" Kimberly said cheerfully, which put a small smile on Conner's face as well before he turned away and asked, "[color=00aeef]You know where we're going, right?[/color]" Kimberly playfully indignantly replied, "[color=ed1c24]Of course I know! It's the training room.[/color]" Conner continued on, "[color=00aeef]Good, good. Just making sure.[/color]" 

Eventually, the two arrived at the entrance of the Training Center. Conner pla ed his hand on the fingerprint scanner, and the door opened with an approving [i]beep[/i], followed by a feminine robotic voice saying, "Welcome, Conner." Entering the rather spacious area, Conner and Kimberly made their way to the hallway where the two instructors were waiting, along with Daniel the Eco-Nazi, Casper, and another kid that even Conner didn't know the name of. 

"[color=ed1c24]Good morning, everyone![/color]" Kimberly said cheerfully, raising a hand in greeting. Conner merely grunted and nodded, also raising a hand in greeting.
