Anton looked up from his seat to see another student had entered their dorm area.  The boy stared at Alexander and himself before asking for an Anton Rasputin.  Rising from his seat Anton slowly made his way over to the boy who had just entered.  Once Anton was in front of the boy the difference in height was easy to tell with Anton towering over the boy in a very menacing fashion.  All that was quickly dropped however as Anton smiled wide extending his hand out.  [color=ed1c24]“Greetings Comrade, I am Anton.  What is your name?”[/color] 

Phillip was somewhat silently cursing himself. Of the two giants, the one who towered over the other would end up being Anton. He wasn’t a mathematician or even that great at math in general, but he had gut instincts and right now, Phillip’s gut was telling him this guy was at least a foot taller. How could someone his age be so flippin tall!? 

Being a few feet away was one thing, but Phil hadn’t prepared himself for right up close and personal with one of the behemoths. He was already anticipating persisting neck problems because of how much he would have to look up just to meet Anton at eye level. 

Swallowing the twisting feeling in his gut and throat, Phil shook the man’s hand, surprising himself when his grip wasn’t as weak as he felt right now. [color=#9966cc]“Nice to meet ya. I’m Phillip.”[/color] Again, he surprised himself by not stuttering.[color=#9966cc] “You’re quite the big guy, aren’t ya?”[/color] Humor was his way of dealing with uncomfortable situations.

Anton stared for a brief moment before he let a small laugh.  [color=ed1c24] “We tend to grow big in mother Russia.” [/color] lowering his hand to the side Anton continued to speak.  [color=ed1c24] “Nice to meet you, Philip.” [/color] Anton was trying his best to be polite and nice to the new student as to not scare him.  Anton had learned that his height had a way of intimidating people much smaller than him.  [color=ed1c24] “Come join us at the table.  We are all friends here.”[/color]  Anton motioned towards the table that he and Alexander were sitting at.      

Alex nodded towards the newcomer and grinned,[color=c4df9b] ”Nice to meet you, my names Alex.  We were just wondering who our roommates were.  Looks like Anton found his.”[/color]  Alex was glad to meet another member of their class even if they weren’t his roommate.  Alex noticed the staggering height difference between Anton and Phillip and almost laughed out loud.  With those two stayings together he should be able to laugh at this quite a bit. [color=c4df9b] “If you don’t mind me asking, what are your abilities?”[/color]

Phillip took a seat at the table and glanced at both. Even sitting down they hovered well over his head, which was fine. This was the perfect chance for him to make one hell of an impression. [color=#9966cc]“Oh, well, uh.” [/color]He stumbled for words, trying to figure a way to word it. [color=#9966cc] “I can manipulate vibrations in the ground, air, and even my own. Let me show you.”[/color] 

Phillip placed his hand on the top of the table and began to vibrate it as minimally as he could. In a response, the table shook and moved a few inches to the left.[color=#9966cc] “I can do other things too. Like, I actually flew here using my power, though I did veer off course cause of that Rainbow girl,”[/color] he mused aloud, snickering to himself.[color=#9966cc] “Anyway, yeah that’s what I can do. Pretty dope, huh?”[/color]

Anton started surprised at the table as he watched it shake.  [color=ed1c24] “Impressive power.”[/color]  Anton’s eyes arched a bit at the mention of Phil flying.  [color=ed1c24] “That’s amazing, I bet flying like bird is fun.”[/color]  

 [color=ed1c24]“My powers are a little less interesting than yours.”  [/color] Lifting his arm once more showing the back of it to Phil he seemed to flex slightly as metal began forming along the arm.  Staring at his shoulder there was an odd sound of sliding as the metal made its way down until it covered his whole arm.  [color=ed1c24] “I can cover my body in a metal skin making me almost indestructible and even stronger.”[/color]  Pausing for a second Anton looked at his arm concentrating for a second making his hand flat.  After a moment the hand-molded into more of a point turning the arm into a spear.  [color=ed1c24] “I can also shift the metal to suit my needs.”[/color]  

[color=#9966cc] “Shieeeet bro!”[/color] Phillip exclaimed in awe, eyes widened as he decided to get a closer look at the spear. He stood up on his seat to get a better look and was glued to it. [color=#9966cc] “And you’re, like, pretty freaking tall as it is. What else can you do with it?” [/color]Phillip asked, keen on the answer.

Anton smiled at the boy's enthusiasm, it was rare that someone was interested in his powers and this slightly threw him off.  [color=ed1c24] “Well I can shape it to a variety of weapons.” [/color] After starring this the spear shifted again into a large hammer object.  After another moment in the hammer form, he let his arm return to normal.  [color=ed1c24] “If you think I’m tall now.” [/color] After saying this Anton stood from his chair taking a step back from the table.  

Letting his body relax for a moment Anton shut his eyes taking in a breath.  Opening his eyes Anton tensed his whole body allowing the metal skin to cover his entire body from head to toe.  As a bonus, he increased in height by over another foot.  [color=ed1c24] “The metal form also makes me taller and heavier along with the increase in strength.”[/color]  

Watching Anton transform into that metal form was just as amazing as it was frightening for the short male. He was a stick when the Russian teen was just himself, but encased in the metal and growing the extra inches (again Phillip is terribad at math), he could only watch with his mouth open, eyes widened, and nothing but inaudible words escaping his mouth. A lot of words left but none forming complete thoughts.

Phillip pulled himself together. [color=#9966cc] “T-that’s so fucking rad man! Have you tested how much damage you can sustain?”[/color] Phillip asked, curious, his entire demeanor going from thoughtless to being full of thoughts like the flip of a switch.

Anton's metal skin slowly moved away as his body shrank back to its normal size.  Stretching his head Anton held a thoughtful look.  [color=ed1c24] “I’m not sure really.  I still feel some pain when I get hit, though it is much less than normal.  As for my limits, however, I’m not too sure about when it would give.  Currently, the only thing I have found that counters my ability is him.” [/color] Anton said as he pointed over to Alexander who was still sitting.  [color=ed1c24] “That or large and powerful magnets.”  [/color]Anton shuddered slightly as he remembered past experiences with the danger room back at the mansion.  

Now Phillip was curious and even more so, wanted to test out his own limits too. And with the current train of thought, he was entertaining, though neither of these men knew it because they barely knew him, but when Phillip’s lips curled into the mischievous smirk it had just formed, it always meant something fun, if not just a little dangerous for others, crossed the often-evil mind of his.

[color=#9966cc] “Have you ever thought about testing your powers out? Because,”[/color] he paused, smiling at the two, [color=#9966cc] “I think we could have a lot of fun out there in the fields with just us, our wits, and our powers. It sure as hell beats just hanging around looking all bored, doesn’t it?”[/color] 

Anton stood thinking for a moment about Philippe's offer.  He did enjoy training and it seemed like a good way to bond with his future teammates, plus it was better than sitting around and doing nothing.  [color=ed1c24] “Sure I love training.”[/color]  Pausing for a moment he looked to Alexander.  [color=ed1c24] “What do you say, Comrade?  Care to join us for some sparing?”[/color]
  

Alex was trying not to laugh at Anton's little joke about him while he listened to the training idea.  While he liked the idea of training and getting to know his classmates better, he had a small problem.  [color=c4df9b]“That sounds like it could be some fun, though there might be a small problem.  We would have to find a school facility to train in because I am unable to use my abilities outside.”[/color]  As Alex said this he lifted up his chin and pointed to the collar around his neck.  The black band had a small blinking green light on the right side of it that showed he had yet to set off any alarms.  [color=c4df9b]“If we can find somewhere to train I would love to join you guys.”[/color]

He was ecstatic that both of them were down for some unsanctioned training, but this wasn’t Phillip’s forte. He was never that great at remembering exactly where what was in any location. He usually remembered places he explored, but having not been given the chance to do that, he couldn’t say where the best place would be to get it done.[color=#9966cc] “Okay so this is fantastic, but do you guys know where they keep the training facilities? I haven’t gotten around to doing some proper exploring.” [/color]He nervously laughed, somewhat embarrassed considering the idea was his, to begin with.

Anton thought for a moment about where they could all train with their powers.  Outside definitely wasn't an option considering how out of hand things could get id they wanted to push some of their limits.  Of course, he did know of some danger room eques type areas that his father had told him about.  [color=ed1c24] “I know of a place similar to the danger room back at the mansion we could train.” [/color] Anton said motioning for the three to follow him.     

[color=c4df9b]“Sounds good, after we meet the other members of our class we should go check it out.”[/color]  Alex was getting slightly excited thinking about being able to train and use his powers for the first time in a while.  Not since before arriving at the mansion had he been able to fully utilize his abilities.  [color=c4df9b]“Do you think everyone is here, or are we waiting for a few more classmates.?”[/color]
