[color=96EACE]"Good, I'm glad to hear that."[/color] Jeremy said, sighing at Sullivans words. [color=96EACE]"Now look, I'm not saying you have to be a hero, it's not for everyone, I get that. What I [i]am[/i] saying though is that if you don't want to kill anyone, you don't want to become villains. In the end, no matter what your intentions are, something will go wrong, and someone [i]will[/i] end up dying. Might be one of you, might be your opponents, or it might just be some random bystander in the wrong place at the wrong time. Better to just find a normal civillian job where you can put your powers to use than take that risk, don't you think?"[/color]

He chuckled when Ricky compared them to the robot cops, calling heroes lame for being outshone by them.

[color=96EACE]"It's true, those robot cops are impressive. Hell, some of my best friends have been robots! But in the end, which of us looks better to the public isn't what being a hero is really about. Hopefully you'll come to realise that some day."[/color]

It was at that point that he heard Riley's question, and promptly laughed it off.

[color=96EACE]"What, me? No way! I'm just an old school teacher, it's not exactly the kind of profession where I'd ever need to kill anyone. Considered it, naturally, but never gone through with it!"[/color]

He looked back again when Principal Lee returned, explained the plan, and asked him to go with her. He nodded, but quickly glanced back to Graham, a look of concern breifly flashing across his face. Noticing the expression, Graham grinned back widely, giving the old man a thumbs up.

[color=A7F374]"Don't worry Mr Stray, I'll be fine on my own! I won't get too distracted by the bouncy castle, promise!"[/color]

Jeremy hesitated for a moment, before sighing again, although a tired smile was plainly obvious on his face.

[color=96EACE]"If you say so..."[/color] He said. [color=96EACE]"Get out there and show 'em what you've got."[/color]

Once they made it to the courtyard, Graham turned to Lucas, having noticed the principals attempt at stealth before they left.

[color=A7F374]"Ok boss, what's the plan?"[/color] He asked, practically bouncing on the spot at the idea of messing around with all this new equipment. To the others, it might almost have seemed like a puppy who had just noticed his owner had brought a new toy home.

Meanwhile, Jeremy followed Lee back to the front of the school.

[color=96EACE]"Well, it went alright. The lead on the fragment turned out to be a bust, but I managed to find a few new kids, like you saw. The one I had with me today, Graham, is the oldest, but there are four younger ones too. The oldest three are seventeen, fifteen and twelve, so I'm hoping we can enroll them here so they can get used to using their powers more responsibly. They've got plenty of experience with them already, so it shouldn't be [i]too[/i] difficult, but I just wanna make sure. The youngest is only six though, so while I still want to have her enroll eventually, I doubt she'll be starting classes for a while. I want to keep her here anyway though, if only so she won't need to be seperated from her siblings too long. Doing that would only make things harder on her. And of course, I'll be glad to get back to teaching again. Looks like you need all the help you can get."[/color]

He cocked his head to the side at the mention of someone wanting to see him, before looking up to see the approaching figure. Of course, he'd been keeping tabs on Castleburg and the old crew as much as possible, so he already recognised the armour before the figure had even landed. He still had the strong urge to pretend he had no idea who she was for a moment, just for old times sake, but figured she was both clever enough and had heard too many stories from Tom and Grace to fall for it. Besides, she'd been one of his best students back when she still attended the academy, so he figured she'd earned a pass from that particular joke.

[color=96EACE]"Jen!"[/color] He said, returning the hug. [color=96EACE]"Good to see you too, it's been a while! Glad to hear the rest are doing alright as well. Kinda wish they'd come too of course, but it's fine, I'll just hunt them all down next time I leave, [i]especially[/i] your brother. And yeah, the trip was good! Wandered around the country, hiking and camping all over the place. Getting in tune with nature like that really helps clear up the stress, you know? Shook some of the rust off these old joints of mine too."[/color]
