Connor frowned, thinking. "Okay. I can see what I can do to remove it. Probably a code or something. It might take a while" he really didn't want to screw up and kill her. He had no idea how to even go about figuring it out, but he could.

Kijani nodded, and then just lay there, her eyes half shut. After a few minutes of silence, she stood up and brushed herself off. "I'm gonna just... go to the library or something. If the teachers ask after me..." She wasn't going to tell him to lie, but she really didn't want the teachers knowing her business. "Tell them I'm sick. It's not a lie." She leaned down and hesitated, before softly kissing Connor's cheek. "...thank you." With that, she started walking off.

Nicholas was flipping to a interesting part in the textbook of a incident with The Brotherhood Of Mutants and some humans that lead to a lot of dead humans,A rebellion form the humans wanting the blood of the mutants as payback.Nicholas scoffed at this thinking that the humans were wrong with such petty actions.Nicholas quietly closed his book looking over at the dark skinned student looking straight at him,The young blinked then nodded his head at her seeing that he thought she was quite cute.

Devika smiled uncertainly as she was caught looking, and then nodded back in response. She made sure that the teacher wasn't watching, and then she scribbled a quick note, then held it up. -You sure you aren't looking for the other Hulk's class?-

Dr. Banner taught a course or two. One science course, and one on anger management and meditation. She still hadn't quite gotten up the courage to attend it, even though she probably should.

Kijani shook her head slightly after she took the pill from Connor. She tucked it into her pocket, then pushed back her hair. Hidden by her dreadlocks was a silver band across her forehead. She could feel it pressing into her skin. "I think you might stand a better chance. He put this on me, said it would block my powers. And that if it was forcibly removed, it'd explode and kill me." There was a flat edge to her voice. "I'm no good with tech, so... I have no idea what to do."

Devika was taking notes and not paying attention at the same time, a gift learned from all her years in school. She was gazing out of the corner of her eye at a new student. He looked much younger than most people in the class. So far, most of the students who'd showed up in this course had been older like she was, either on their way to graduation or with superpowers that were much less obvious or strong. This was more of an intellectual course than one that involved any sort of power over another. Unless you considered talking to people and being politically correct a superpower...

She wondered what this guy was doing in class- he didn't seem to be paying that much attention. Then again, she wasn't either and she still was passing.

One of my favorite commissions of Devika. ^_^

How old is Johnathan again? My brain says 16-17 but I'm unsure.

Connor thought to himself, . He supposed he would never know. He looked down at his hands as there was silence. His hands didn't feel clean. He would have done whatever he could, to have rescued her. As she started to speak, he listened, looking up. He took it all in, not interrupting. Letting her talk, letting her just speak. Right up until the end. "I'm not a scientist. I like science. But its not who I am. If all the data is piling up against you, you need to ask yourself this. Why am I still here? Why would I have bothered to break into a high security facility to save you, if you meant nothing to me? Facts are facts, but facts can be completely emotionless, and not worth the time. If we went with the facts, the science of it all, no one would have powers=it just wouldn't be possible. We wouldn't be here, and chances are we'd just be a couple of normal teenagers complaining about math, or wondering whose party to go to, or whatever normal teenagers do, and reading about super heroes and villains in comic books-well, I would at least"Although Connor doubted, greatly, that he would have ever just been a normal teenager. "the only facts I care about right now are these: I'm not going to bail. I'm not going to betray you. I'm not here to take advantage of you, and use you. I'm not doing this for any ulterior motive. I care about you. You can trust me. You can depend on me. I've never given anyone, any reason to not believe they can, or that I"m going to betray them" He frowned "Actually, maybe Anthony, but that's Anthony" He didn't look away, he made no move to even move, not yet. "You say I'm too hero. That I wouldn't be willing to get my hands dirty, and perhaps, before coming here, before meeting everyone, before this, us, I wouldn't have been willing to. Now...well, now things are different. So you can pull up your shields, hold me at arms length, continue to expect that I'll be like everyone else in your life so far, and don't give a damn, use you, betray you, not be there when you need someone-like now, but Kijani, I'll be there. Just there, chipping away at the shields, the distance, offering small bits of reassurance, until you believe I mean what I say. . You just don't see it. You don't see your value, because of your parents, your grandmother and whoever else. But I do." And finally, he couldn't take it anymore, couldn't stand it anymore. "Please don't cry. I hate seeing you cry" He wanted to hug her, to try and make it all better but he was afraid she'd flinch away

Kijani looked at him, trying to let herself accept the earnestness in his voice, the truth that he so obviously believed. He really meant what he said... but that didn't mean it was accurate. People could be passionate about something and completely wrong at the same time.

And then he told her not to cry, that he hated seeing her cry. A wobbly smile crossed her face, and she tilted her head back as if trying to get her tears to go back inside. "You're right. You're right, Connor. I have to get it together." No one liked seeing weakness. If it wasn't revolting, then it was at least uncomfortable for people.

She wiped at her eyes quickly, and inhaled a few times until the urge to cry had been buried again. Then she put her chin in her hands and stared at Connor. "Any other questions, or can I have my sleeping pill now?"

You sure can! Devika will be there too. ^_^

She's older (22), chubby and dark skinned with very curly hair.

I had She-Hulk doing a class on super/civilian relations.

I gotta sleep, Caits. It's 5am, and I don't want to see dawn. >__< night night

Kijani gave him a weak smile. "Connor, to go up against Waller, you have to be willing to get your hands dirty. You're... too hero for that. I didn't want to put you in an awkward moral position, so I went to someone who didn't have any morals." She picked idly at the grass, going silent for several moments before she started to talk again.

"I was left alone a lot as a child. My parents... well, they conceived me, birthed me, and... well, that was more or less the extent of their major involvement. My powers showed up when I was young, but they told me to hide them. So I did, when I was in the house." She shook her head a bit. "I'm rambling. Facts, Kijani..." Pushing back her hair, she started up again. "I was eleven. I was in the park, alone, practicing my powers with a school notebook. Some people in white uniforms snatched me and threw me in a van. They drugged me. I..." Her voice choked up, and she clenched her jaw before moving forward. "I woke up on a lab table. They... they experimented on me. There were others. Younger mostly, none older than 13. Every single one of us had powers. The people who took us were called Alpha. They were trying to brainwash us. Turn us into an army." Her voice was becoming more and more hollow with each sentence. "They did... horrible things. Eventually my powers receded, and they decided to dispose of me." Her side was starting to burn like the scar was a fresh wound, and she flinched, pressing her hand against it. "They tried to kill me. I resisted. I ran. I made my way home, alone. Rule number two learned: You can only depend on yourself." Her hands were shaking.

"My parents didn't want to hear it. They told me to keep my story to myself. I... I retreated into myself. When I was fourteen, I took my parents to court and sued for my emancipation. I won... but then, they didn't exactly fight to keep me, did they. Waller took me in not long after I left my parents for good. She showed such interest in me, she said I was capable of great things. Said that she would be a child that she could be proud of. She taught me, trained me..." She jerked forward a bit, her grandmother's words bouncing around harshly in her mind.

"It was all lies, Connor. All of it. My parents never wanted me, my grandmother only saw me as a weapon, Anthony never gave a shit, and..." Her head picked up, and she looked him in the eyes. Her eyes, which were usually so full of energy, or pride, or anger, were brimming with tears. "And you keep saying you care, that you don't want anything of me. That you won't leave. You're a scientist, Connor. All the data is piling up over the course of my life, and when it comes right down to it... the chance is much more likely that you just haven't betrayed me yet."

Kijani retained her cold look until she was sure both Kalinda and the strange boy were gone. But as soon as they left, she dropped her head, covering her face with a low sigh. "It's gotten so that random strangers are checking up on me like I'm a child..." She muttered a few choice swear words under her breath.

She picked her head up, looking at Connor. "As for why I was kidnapped yesterday... I was stupid. That's really all it comes down to. I was stupid, and I trusted Anthony more than I should have. I thought..." Her gaze went soft, and confused. "I thought he actually considered me an ally." She scoffed, and shook her head. "But again, my mistake. I've got as much use to him as a dull sword. Anyway... to the facts. I was working with Anthony because he found out some information on something that happened to me when I was a child. I'll get to that story later. The only way I could get the info I wanted was to help him. So I did. Along the way, I guess I forgot rule number one: Trust no one." She laughed, but it was an empty, bitter noise. "He didn't, of course, and betrayed me just when I thought I was going to get what I wanted. Instead, I got what I deserved for being a fool."
