Alex surveyed the room around him and took note of the students already there.  The one upside down seemed to be dozing off and the other guy there was staring intently at the television.  Alexander wasn’t in the mood to be the one to break the ice, so he looked for somewhere else to sit.  Seeing a small table in the corner of the room he made his way past the couch and sat on one of the chairs.  After sitting down Alex began to absentmindedly listen to the television while focusing on one of his rings.  He made the small piece of metal slide off his finger and levitate above his palm.  As the ring slowly began to spin Alex began to think about the first day of classes tomorrow.  That was when he realized he had forgotten to check who his teacher and roommate were.  Alex nodded approvingly at seeing War Machine was his teacher but had no reaction to the name Tristan Castillo.  He had never heard the name before and couldn’t tell anything from the name, other than his roommate was probably a guy.

Anton finally found his way into the common room seeing that there were already a few students inside.  Not having paid much attention to the room when he entered the building, Anton took a second to get a feel for his surroundings.  Looking between the student the two in front of the TV seemed to be very interested in the program while the third was sitting alone at a table.  Walking up to the table Anton figured it was best to simply rip off the bandaid of avoiding talking to people.  [color=ed1c24]“Greetings comrade.  Would you mind if I sit down?”[/color]  

Alex looked up at the voice speaking to him, then continued looking up as he realized the man in front of him was a giant.  [color=c4df9b]“Uhm, yeah sure, why not?”[/color]  Alexander waited for the giant to sit down and tried to glean some information from his appearance.  Made obvious by his greeting was the fact the giant was Russian.  Other than being tall and Russian Alex got no hint of what his abilities were.

[color=c4df9b]“I’m Alexander, nice to meet you.”[/color]  Alex held out a hand to shake the giant’s, leaving the ring hovering where he left it.  [color=c4df9b]“Look forward to learning with you.”[/color]

Taking Alex’s hand Anton gave him a genuine smile at the greeting replying [color=ed1c24]“The Name is Anton and I look forward to working together as a team.”[/color]  letting go of Alex’s hand Anton’s attention was pulled toward the ring that was still levitating above Alex’s hand as they were talking.  [color=ed1c24]“That is interesting power.”[/color]  not taking his eyes off the ring as it slowly rotated in the air without restriction [color=ed1c24]“Are you a mutant as well?” [/color]   

Alex nodded while responding to Anton, [color=c4df9b]“So you’re a mutant then, what is your gift?”[/color]  Alex looked back at the ring and had it drift around the room as he listened to Anton speak.  The ring glided around the couch and back into his hands where it slid onto a finger.  [color=c4df9b]“I’m glad there are other mutants in my class, makes this whole experience a bit less lonely, does it not?”[/color] 

Anton was impressed at not only Alexanders power but his fine control over it as well.  Smiling Anton lifted his arm from the table showing the back of his hand to Alexander.  A second later his hand was covered in a shiny metal covering that slowly moved down his arm in sections stoping somewhere underneath his shirt.  [color=ed1c24]“I can cover my whole body in Metal or just my arm.  What about you?  What is your power exactly?”[/color]       

[color=c4df9b]“I can manipulate magnetic fields, though you can think of it as controlling metal with some extra benefits.”[/color]  Alexander leaned back and looked out a nearby window at the skyscrapers outside and let his mind wander.  He had been nervous to talk about his powers and planed ongoing as long as possible without saying his full name.  He hoped the giant next to him couldn’t connect the dots just yet.  The only reason he had been so open about his powers was that he didn’t want to seem like he was hiding anything from his classmates.

With the same sound of metal sliding Anton’s arms once again returned to normal.  Letting it rest on the table Anton continued to listen to what Alexanders powers were.  [color=ed1c24]“With a power like that, I’m glad we are teammates.”[/color]  Anton was surprised to see someone’s power that used his own against him.  Pausing for a moment Anton looked around the common room checking if any of their other classmates had joined them.  Seeing no one new entering he returned his gaze towards Alexander. [color=ed1c24] “Who do you think will be joining us in our class?”[/color]
