Kaiden

Academy of Heroes and Villains

Sorry I've been away, work has been busy. I'm so lost as to what to do next with my character. -__- I'm trying to think of something exciting but drawing a blank.

"I can imagine." Kaiden replied as he listened to Kalinda speak of her empathic abilities. When they entered her room he realized where they were and looked around. He figured this would be a similar room to his once he received his lodgings. By now his dad was probably looking for him, talking to old friends a long the way. He looked around her room, noticed the guitar and smiled, then looked at her as she took off her gloves. "You know you don't have to keep those on around me. I won't touch you again, I promise. I know you don't like wearing them."

Kaiden hadn't thought about what class he would take next. He paused thoughtfully, not even sure of all his options. He remembered hearing in the gym that the second class was a chosen class. The only two things he could think of was following Kalinda, which he thought she might be getting sick of by now, or finding a class on teleporting. "I'm not sure yet. I'm still deciding." He said, taking a seat on the edge of her bed.

Kaiden smiled back at her. He kept walking with her even as she moved to the girls locker room. He kept talking with her, sharing how he found out he could teleport only a year ago and how his dad felt it was a good time now at 16 to begin learning all his abilities and controlling them, which he thought was complete bull shit. But he spoke of how he has been enjoying himself so far and has liked getting to know some of the people there, especially her. They walked in to the girls dorms and Kaiden still hadn't noticed, very much transfixed on Kalinda.

Kaiden laughed at Kalinda's comment about the nurse. He watched them take Kijani away and exhaled deeply, an emotion of relief passing through him. He turned to Kalinda, following her gait. He was surprised to hear her say people try to avoid her. "I can understand if they know your powers and might be afraid. My dad, I think you know is Nightcrawler if you didn't see him earlier, has told me all about people who don't understand mutants or superbeings and react with fear or anger. Once they understand they accept and calm down. Like my mom for example. My dad met her and she was just a human. He saved her from killing herself. She was so frightened at first, he said, but once she understood him and his intentions she was ok, and then they fell in love." He beamed proudly. His smile faltered slightly as he added. "She died when giving birth to me. I never met her." He paused for a moment, looking away. When Kalinda asked him about the feeling he looked to her with a smile. "I don't know how to describe it. I feel angry a lot, or tense and frustrated. I don't know if it's something you're giving off or if, well, if it's just you, but I feel really calm around you. I love being able to feel relaxed. I don't know, it's a comforting feeling I just can't describe without sounding like an idiot."

Kaiden nodded his head in agreement with Kalinda. "I think that's a great idea. If you have healing powers you would be very helpful in the medical field. You're patient, kind, and well, I always feel really good around you." He smiled sheepishly. "Yeah, let's get out of here. Mind if I tag along with you?" He bent down and grabbed his backpack and slipped his hooded jacket back on once more, flicking the hood over his head and wiping away his hair from his face as it tends to fall over his brown and in to his eyes.

Kalinda shook her head "I can block most emotions, but touch has always been an issue with me. I thought I had it under control, obviously not. So it seems I'll be wearing my gloves for the rest if my life" she shrugged and shook her head when he asked if she went to a specific class "no, I learned most of my control hiding in my room away from people and not going outside the house for a year. I learned fast here how to keep myself from losing it, but I'm still shaky on the control. There's probably a class, or a teacher that would help with control I guess. Maybe professor Xeviar" she shrugged again, stepping away from the group. "I have flight powers as well, telekenisis, and control over shadows as well." She frowned "and some healing abilities" she looked over at the group, at Kojani then shook her head "i would probably do more damage then help"

"I see." Kaiden responded to Kalinda, glancing at her ungloved hands. He hoped he didn't develop anything as extreme as what she seemed to had. He didn't see how it was helpful in any way and could only be a burden on ones life constantly trying to keep it under control. As Kalinda stepped further from the group he followed suite. He watched the nurses come through and begin helping the girl, Kijani, as he learned of her name. It felt good that a medical staff was on site and swift in reaction. "Well the medical staff is here so that's good. I'm sure she'll be ok."

As Kalinda met Kaiden's eyes with a weak smile and confirmed she was ok, he met her smile with an even bigger one and let go of her hand. "Good." He glanced to the group then back to Kalinda, taking a step back. "An Empath, huh? You must be feeling pretty intense from all of this commotion. I hope the girl is ok." He paused thoughtfully. "You know I felt something right when that girl fell down. It was strange. I lost my breathe for a moment and I felt these intense emotions of pain. My emotions have always been hard to control, sometimes they get out of hand. But it almost seemed like I was feeling what the girl was feeling." He glanced up at the clock. He figured gym class would be over soon but he wasn't sure seeing as his dad had yet to return to him with his schedule. Kaiden looked back to Kalinda. "Did you take a specific class to learn to control yourself?" He felt very comfortable next to her, a feeling that seemed to wash everything else away.

Kaiden was aware of how much his hands were shaking and looked down at them. At that point, when he thought it was just his hands shaking at his sides, he realized his right hand was still grasping Kalinda, his knuckles white from how intense of a grip he had unknowingly placed on her. He immedeitly let go and looked at her, quickly uttering "I'm sorry Kalinda, I didn't realize....are you ok?" As he focused back on her and away from the fallen girl he felt a wave of calmness take over him. Despite the strict emotions beginning to subside within him he could visibly see Kalinda shaking next to him. He didn't know what Kalinda's powers were but he thought his grip alone had rendered her in to such a state. "Kalinda I'm so sorry, I didn't realized I still had your hand, and then I felt these emotions and got so distracted..." he was rambling, trying to get her to say it was ok, or that she was fine and she was only scared for the girl. Without waiting for an answer Kaiden reached out to take her hand once more, this time cupping it gently in one of his, placing his other hand on top as if to soothe her hand from the vice grip he held. He felt a warmth surge inside of him as he drew close to her, his face very close to hers. He gazed at her intently, waiting for a reply.

Oops I didn't see your post until after mine @Caits!

Kaiden smiled to Kat after their formal greeting and watched her take off to the circuit. His sharp blue eyes had great vision and he examined carefully how she maneuvered the course. Much like Kalinda her movement was on point and he examined her hand placement and coordination. After watching a few people now take to the course he had enough confidence to try for himself. Kalinda graciously offered to show him some of her tricks. He followed her astutely throughout the course as she explained each section like a patient teacher and offered a physical example for himself to try.

As he and Kalinda ended at the uneven bars once more he turned to face them as Kalinda urged him to try for himself. Kaiden jumped up on the lowest uneven bar and began to swing forward and back then forward, gaining more motion and power until he felt he gained enough height to try and leap to the next bar. Because of his strength he ungraciously was able to grab the next bar but ended hanging flat and still, his motion and swing lost in the transfer from the first bar.

Suddenly Kaiden felt a wave of painful emotions flow through him, settling deep in his chest. He lost his breathe and grip on the bar and fell down on the mat to his knees. He heard a commotion to his side and saw a girl had fallen and several students, many he recognized, running towards her. Kaiden glanced up at Kalinda then quickly got to his feet, brushing off what he just felt. "Let's go see what happened." He reached out and grabbed Kalinda by the hand and began to rush forward towards the commotion.

He stopped right outside the circle of people surrounding the girl. He felt another wave of intense emotion flow through him. Like a circuit of electricity he could feel the emotions rushing through his veins all throughout his body. His hands were balled in to fists at his sides and were shaking slightly. He stared intently at the girl on the floor, or what he could see through Flood and the others, and waited to see if she any sort of sign of her being alright.
