(I don't really know how to respond...)
Anthony nods slightly before extig the office and heading toward the gym. Instead of participating in the tests, he simply sits off to the side in the bleachers. While retaining a sorrowful expression, Anthony carefully watches the performance of his peers.

Mmm it's was a good question. Tricky to answer I would think.Can I start gym? I was think just a a basic fitness test-beep test agility test balance...or such. Just think it might give people something to do lol

Go for it

Anthony runs his chin as if focusing intensely on the question. After a few minutes of silence, he looks up and says, "It would have to be someone that my father either meets with or does business with on a regular basis. That's the only way his lookouts throughout the city wouldn't alert him of trouble. Honestly, the most likely suspect would be me, but I was otherwise...occupied. The LexCorp building was a joint construction project between my father and Mr. Stark. Although some of the security systems have changed, the majority are still the same. Knowing this, Mr. Stark would likely be able to disable most of the security features. The person my father had the most respect for was you, make of it what you will. Are we done here?"

Anthony frowns slightly at Kat's words and the fact that she didn't stay long enough for him to respond. However, he pushes it to the back of his mind as the Academy's "fearless leader" calls him in. Anthony puts on a blank face and sits before being offered a seat. He attempts to give Mr. Wayne a mostly emotionless face with only a hint of sadness as he asks, "Thank you, but don't you think it's a little soon to make me relive it?"

@Dioxide: Are you going to post as Batman?

Academy of Heroes and Villains

I'm sorry guys, but after I finish Kijani's story arc, I'm going to have to stop posting IC. I'll still be around for a few months, but I need to pass the reins to someone else. I'll let you know who I choose when the time comes.

"The people who took Kijani are part of something called the Alpha Initiative. It's a covert program with the sole purpose of kidnapping young metahumans and brainwashing them to become sleeper agents. If the right person flips the switch, suddenly they have control over dozens, if not hundreds, or super-powered beings at their command," Anthony replies somewhat urgently. He cocks his head as he's called to the principal's office over the PA system. With a sigh, he says, "I have to go, you might as well attend gym. Once I'm done talking to Mr. Wayne, I'll find you and you can tell me if you want to go get Kijani right away, or if you want to recruit some people after school and go then." Leaving Connor to make his decision, Anthony strides purposefully toward Batman's office. Being a gentleman, Anthony remembers to knock and wait to be invited before barging into the office.

Anthony sighs, "Connor, please refrain from making threats. She's been taken, but f I was the one that had her kidnapped, I wouldn't be coming to you for help. I would have just stayed my tongue and no one would be any the wiser. I had taken her out to explain some of the more secretive aspects of being a successful business owner over dinner. On our way back to the Academy, my limo was over run by at least a dozen men armed with shotguns, body armor, and gas masks. I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear that Kijani was able to put up more of a fight than I. While she had the attention of the majority of the men, my driver distracted the remainder so I could make my escape. I need your help getting Kijani back. I saw the emblem on the men's uniforms, and it looked familiar. After staying up most of the night, I traced it back to someone that has a reason to be interested in Kijani, but their base of operations is rather high-tech. Having your assistance would really expedite the rescue."

For a moment, Anthony's somber mask falters and a look of pure grief peeks through the cracks, but they're soon patched back up. "You've no idea," he says quietly. "The first thing I do every morning after waking up is turn on the news. Care to guess what I saw this morning?" Anthony sighs deeply before continuing, "As to why I'm here, there's three reasons. First of all, I'm a creature of habit. Secondly, I really need to talk to our fearless leader, Mr. Wayne. Finally, you and I need to talk. He rests a hand on Connor's shoulder and says with a look of regret, "I need your help; it's about Kijani."

After waking up and letting out a colossal yawn, John quickly gets dressed and brushes his teeth, then makes his way to the weight room. Once he arrives, John fills up his water bottle, plugs a pair of headphones into his phone, and begins to listen to music while working out.

I'm working on a post, I just need to come up with an explanation Anthony can give Connor for how Kijani was kidnapped and why he didn't help her.
