Sep. 13th, 2038 - Margaret Carter Institute[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][@Nallore]: Diana managed to teleport herself away from the bees with ease, like a practiced professional. She ended up in what looked to have once been the brig of the ship, meant for confining prisoners temporarily. It was nicer (or at least more sci-fi) than the brig of an Earth ship. But it also had somewhat of a hamster cage like quality to it, the way the prisoners were held behind some sort of clear substance, entirely vulnerable with no obvious means of escape. She wasn't alone there. 

	No, there was a guy there - probably a senior by the looks of him, maybe a junior but Diana didn't recognize him, so it'd be unlikely. He was Maori, wearing a patterned short sleeve shirt and khaki shorts. He seemed to be lost in thought, he didn't notice Diana there at first. "Oh, hey, sorry - am I not supposed to be here?" he asked her, his Kiwi accent obvious. 

[@PatientBean][@Blizz]: Oh boy, watched they were. The school rumor mills were already excited enough with the Tommy-Kate break-up. The Leah-Sabine ship that had just left the harbor? That was like dumping gasoline on a fire. Everyone was going to know that those two were holding hands going off in the direction of the dorms by the end of the day. And given that they were roommates... People were going to expect them to do [i]roommate[/i] things. For better or worse, any privacy of secrecy those two would have was gone. 

	When they arrived back at the dorms, Leah would get a text from April (see below). And Sabine would receive a DM from one of her followers that was just "!!!" with a link to someone's story where they had posted a pic of Leah and Sabine holding hands, circled with a heart, with the caption [i]"AA'S NEW IT COUPLE BITCHES!!!!!"[/i][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=42A9FF]April Flynn[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/1052bc1bcb3589665e860b52b0438829/6e7a80a5565ffc5a-c9/s540x810/f0dea2550169c12bb0369c2b2b93704ed40f4b45.gif[/img][hr][b][color=42A9FF]Location:[/color][/b] the Field (School Carnival) - Kree Spaceship

She had been lucky that she'd managed to pull together a water shield in time, sucking some of the humidity out of the air - and her luck had resulted in a new uneven tan. She didn't want to think about how bad and weird these tan lines were going to be. She'd have to fix that [i]stat[/i]. 

	The only person looking more traumatized than Teddy, who seemed to have chosen [i]freeze[/i] from the options of [i]fight[/i] vs [i]flight[/i] of course was her sister. But the bees were gone now. Thankfully. And the fire was out and Danni's hair and clothes were somehow completely fine, as apparently his flames worked Human Torch style - which was great, because April didn't think he could pull off being bald. What was [i]not[/i] great was that in the confusion she had lost track of Leah and Sabine, and now her sister looked like her meltdown was shifting into a crying fit as Zelda ran off. She didn't notice the blonde sitting down nonchalantly, as if this entire thing had been a picnic and not highly terrifying. 

	[color=42A9FF]"Urgh, I thought her control was bad enough at [i]home[/i]..."[/color] April whined. She did care for her sister, she really did. And she felt bad for her. And this was part of why April had been avoiding Zelda all day, so that way she wouldn't have to stop having fun to go comfort her sister. The empathy and compassion that she had for her friends did not always transfer evenly to Zelda; Zelda was her annoying kid sister after all! [color=42A9FF]"I'm sorry, babes, but I should go after her - she like doesn't know anyone here and irritating as she is she [i]is[/i] my sister... I'll catch up with you once she's calmed down, I'll send a text to let you know?"[/color] 

	April pulled her phone out of the pocket at the thought, finally seeing the text from Leah about there being too many people. She didn't notice that the time stamp on Leah's text was from a while ago, from back when they were outside Agatha's, so April assumed it was from the bee thing. She shot back a quick reply - 

[hider=@Leah]Omg bestie I totally get it!! <3 <3 Those bees were MESSED UP. I'm gonna have nightmares. 😱😱😱 Maybe tomorrow we could hang one on one? We have soooo much catching up to do... I have a HUGE secret to tell you that you cannot tell ANYONE. Ttyl!!! xoxo[/hider]
	[color=42A9FF]"Zelds, wait up!!"[/color] April then shouted, putting her phone away and running off after her miserable sister. [color=42A9FF]"These boots aren't meant for running in!!"[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=ed1c24]Percy Novikov[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://img.wattpad.com/7bef7bb2df2407b7a126ff2d06ce52b3e7841d05/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f345144486b5f686c4c417a7949513d3d2d313131333330353138352e313639396563653435346339393531383632303232343135333831382e676966[/img][hr][b][color=ed1c24]Location:[/color][/b] the Field (School Carnival) - Outside of Agatha's Tent

Ordinarily, he would have dwelled in that anger and rationalized it, coming up with a list of real (or imagined) wrongs that the witch had committed. But there was one thing in the world that he always hyper-fixated on, more than his (un)righteous rage, and that was an unsolvable puzzle. 

	He hadn't even paid much thought yet to the time keeping properties of the pocket watch. No, he was still staring at the inscription as he left Agatha's tent. The characters - letters? - were none that he had seen before in his life. It wasn't Latin, Greek, or Cyrillic. It wasn't Cuneiform, Aramic, or Hebrew. And it wasn't Armenian or Georgian either. His brain rattled through lists of writing systems, trying to identify the marks, but he kept coming up with blanks. 

	He scowled, squinting his eyes at the inscription. His power worked better with larger data sets. Give him a sentence from a new language and he might not be able to translate it; give him a paragraph and he'd start to get the gist; give him a novel and he'd be fluent. One word - or one thought - usually wasn't enough to get something right away. 

	But that was all he had here. 

	Percy was instantly obsessed. 

	He glanced up, seeing that Zari had her sword out. [color=ed1c24]"A little early for a duel to the death, isn't it?"[/color] Percy quipped, pocketing the watch. The inscription was burned into his brain already though. He knew that if he were to dream tonight, it would be about the watch. And when he closed his eyes, the inscription would be there, floating in the blackness. 

	Either that or that stupid idiot Dorian Gray.
