Billy had the tremendous misfortune of running into Karla Sofen ... whom he promptly tried to distance himself from. She didn't do anything [i]mean[/i] 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. 

[b]"Karla"[/b]
[b]"Melissa"[/b]
[b]"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"[/b]
[b]"Cute"[/b] Melissa smirked sarcastically. [b]"You still stealing powers or have you finally developed some talent of your own?"[/b]
[b]"I'm not going to say I [i]missed [/i]you ... but I guess Avengers Academy would be dull as shit without you"[/b]

[i]Girls are confusing ... I'm so glad I'm gay[/i] 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. 
[b]"Oh my god!"[/b] he gasped. [b]"You're Franklin Richards- Whoa"[/b] 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. [b]"Are you new here too?"[/b] 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.  [b]"Sorry I- Um, I'm Billy Kaplan, Asg-"[/b] [i]Wait ...[/i] his brain slammed on the breaks ... he was [i]supposed[/i] to be working on a new nickname. [i]Don't say Asgardian, Don't say Asgardian ...[/i]
[b]"I have like um ... Asgardian ...Thor powers, yknow but without the hammer ... shooting lightning ... flight ... Yeah"[/b] he corrected himself. [i]Smooth Kaplan ... real smooth ...[/i]



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 [i]was[/i] loitering around like a spare part until Teddy started talking at him ... Not [i]to[/i] him, but rather in his general direction, enough to catch his attention at least. 

[b]"Who the hell is Billy?"[/b] 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 [i]a lot[/i] 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 [i]Billy[/i] whom he thought he was talking to, to Kate Bishop. 
[b]"Tommy"[/b] he replied to Kate, correcting Teddy whom he shot a funny glance before focusing back on Kate. 
[b]"What are you in for then?"[/b] 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?
