As John heads toward gym, he spots a crimson-haired girl staring at her map in confusion. Guessing that she was one of the students scheduled for PE, he walks over to help. "Hey," he says with a smile, "you lost?"

Is this my cue? :P

WHOOPS NEVERMIND

JUST FIGURED IT OUT HAHA
Sue


The silent lock of the door, shutting the room air-tight, a noiseless cut to the outside world was unwelcoming but unavoidable. Sue barely turned to survey her room when she fell to her knees and cried. Her fall made no impact; the softened cushioning of the walls and floor made effective noise absorption to control her. Air ventilation was circulated by an indirect flow of air-conditioning from wherever her room was. Cushioning was a light tan-brown: black was unperformed to relax heat gain from light – though this was pointless since there were no windows to her room. It was a box. It was a prison that had a bed, writing table, a dartboard. Not even a TV. Practice held that newspapers, notices and orally-spoken updates by caretakers were made for her to keep abreast with school.

Unbeknownst to the one boy that followed her, his footsteps echoed loudly, she knew he followed her. She wished he didn’t. It was a dangerous feat. An admirable one though. A nice thought that someone tried. Sue kept that happy thought with her as she turned to her bed. Reading the notices, she noted several important dates and some of the classrooms needing to be headed to. It was a dreaded thought to have to go to class with people. There would have to be arrangements for her accommodation which would make her the black sheep of the flock. A long sigh, but nothing comes out but breath.

A light emitted from the top of the door, noting that someone would enter. Her room was ergonomically designed to help her notice the light and door with her grabbed attention. A man in black called to Sue, “You’re called to P.E.. Get ready.”
Sue nodded in reply, with a grim smile and eye contact quickly distracted to the floor. Sue reached for her bags, brought in early before her arrival and pulled out a jacket. The gym ought to be cold, so she thought. The man moved and held the elevator open for her, gesturing her to move.

“Sue is moving, positions ready?” The man spoke to her earpiece. “Sniper team is go, ground teams are go,” Sue heard, the man glaring at her at the corner of his eye. “Over,” and the elevator door reached the ground floor.

They moved together in unison around Sue, protecting the one asset they had against evil forces out there. Sue simply looked at the ground on her way to the gym, her hands in the pockets of her orange jacket, complimenting her crimson red hair. It was ominous and curious as to why she had to have protection and not the other superpowers out here. People were just as destructive as she was, if not more. It was explained to her that her powers were passively powerful, and it was risky to leave her alone but really that could happen to anyone. Someone out there really wanted Sue on their side. Someone out there really wanted Sue safe.

They were closing in on the gym, snipers ready across and on the rooftops nearby. She was left to the front door. Sue walked forward, looking at the crowd far beyond where they were, reeling in how large the campus was, savouring the moment of a brief freedom. She turned back and the people inside had produced enough sound to cause people to wince in cringe and fear.
Alright, head's up, everyone.

Sound bounces a lot in the gym, so noises are going to be very loud now. Take them into mind. :)

Why do I suddenly feel sad?! I hate you Dioxide. @Stryder I think we moved on a bit. Introductions all that.


Here you go, everyone!

Poor Sue.

Hope everyone got a chance to notice her!

“It’s too loud,” said one of the bodyguards.

Volume was higher than normal, and Sue could amplify that entire sort if not brought in to a quieter zone faster. It was reckless to stay in a place where anyone could call someone, clap, and laugh, too close to Sue.

Now eyes were definitely on her. More tall men in black suits came in to usher Sue away. The little girl in the white tank top and black ear-muffs (specially designed to reduce the capacity of air, and therefore noise, to be heard) did not even have the chance to move further on to one of the halls and was being moved to a dorm.



…Except this dorm was further away from everyone else’s.

Sue’s powers came to the knowledge of a higher government power that realized that regardless of however mystical, magical, cosmic, powerful any other superpower would be, Sue just might have the potential to top it by distorting the enemy’s focus with increased sound levels. Of course this was not Sue’s intent, but who is to say that the wrong ones will get to her and weaponize her? Who is to say that Sue would not bring the entire Academy population or even the entire nation to its knees?

No, the higher-ups thought. Sue was to be trained along the “good” side. Any side that sided with most of the superheroes was good enough for them. Sue had no choice. Sue was more of a utility than a human-being. She turned back just to catch the figure of a really tall male. That’s about it. Unfortunately, Sue has gotten used to such isolation. It was a life of being damned away because of how volatile she was. Not her emotions, but her stupid power. She hated herself.

Further to the East, away from most important buildings, was one of the science equipment faculties building. The five bodyguards and Sue entered an elevator to the top floor. No one spoke a word, especially in such a confined space. Reverberation was their enemy.

She was brought to a room where sound was absorbed. It was a version of the quietest room on Earth, where you could hear your own heartbeat and go insane. Sue’s hearing was that amplified that you could still hear the birds chirping outside and the faint distant cheers of the student population.

Sue was given her student bag, and several documents to read. She was told of her class schedule coming up and told not to leave this room without their attention.

She nodded. As the room closed quietly, she started to cry. A silent cry.
Lol sorry. I live in Hong Kong so i will always be like, several hours later.
Bloody hell we have so many posters.

Could we possibly put our characters' names as a heading? I have no idea who's who :(

Though, it'll probably just need some getting used to.
