November 11th,2008Niki lead the students through into the main hall which would be the class room for teaching them how to control their abilities better. The first thing she needed to do was get everybody to introduce themselves and their power, even though she already knew one of the students, and most of the students seemed to know each of some way or another. That was a good start she thought. She walked over to the whiteboard and wrote up her name on it in big letters. Underneath her name she wrote her ability and bolded it out in clear letters. Niki Sanders Superhuman Strength Then she looked round at them all, "Please take a seat" she said to them, the seats were set out in a horseshoe shape, so that they had the floor in the middle free for practicing their abilities on. "First thing I want you all to do, is stand up, tell each other your name and your ability" she began, as she then sat on the edge of the desk and waited for the kids to respond.

Derlyn looked around apparently no one was going first so why not him. Standing up his chains on his pockets rattle. He was wearing his favorite outfit really a black jeans with chains hanging from each pocket, black fingerless gloves and a gray polo shirt. Along with a small Pentacle necklace falling from his neck Seriously he was going to need to buy more clothes. Either way he stood and began to speak.
"Derlyn Ulric Ravenhardt, ya'll can call me Dur. My power electromagnetism." how it would be easy it would be to demonstrate the ability with the metal he was wearing. But he decided not to. Not yet anyway. Taking a seat he sighed Nikki as a teacher was quite a surprise for him. But like he thought earlier it was good that he knew at least one person.
But everyone around him seemed to know everyone else. That somewhat depressed him.

Henry followed the other students into the class room. At the sight of the horse shoe shaped seating arrangement, he chuckled. It looked like something from an AA meeting. Shaking his head at the funny arrangement, he took a seat to the left of a student he hadn't met. When Niki introduced herself, along with her power, Henry had to nod his head in acknowledgment, He hadn't met anyone with superhuman strength.
She then told everyone to introduce themselves along with their power. Henry grinned. He found it cool that he was going to hear about the different powers people had. Learning had always been his favorite activity. Well, learning interesting things anyways. The guy Henry had been sitting next to introduced himself as Derlyn and his power was electromagnetism. Henry stared with interest. After Derlyn sat down, Henry figured he might as well get the light moving. He stood up and cleared his throat.
"Hi. My name is Henry Ward and I'm an alcoholic." he joked. He couldn't help it, he just had to make fun of the seating arrangement and introduction. Composing himself, Henry cleared his throat again and spoke. "No seriously. I'm Henry Ward, you ladies can call me Henry, and my power is intuitive aptitude. It means I can understand anything." he said boastfully.

He watched as the others got up, and figured it was his turn. He stood up, disappointed that Henry already did the little joke that he was going to do.
"Hey guys, I'm Bruce, Bruce Adams." He said, as looked around at all the faces. "I have Element Control" He said, knowing that some people wont know what he means by that.
"Well, that means. I can control and conjure elements. Fire, Water, Earth and Air" He said, and for each word he conjured a ball of the element. The First was Fire, then Water, then he got a ball of floating dirt, and then a ball of just, wind, flying around in there.
"Oh, and this is my twin brother, James" He said, pointing across the room. "He has the same ability"

Niki was going to let all the students introduce themselves with their power before she spoke again but the smart ass comment from the one called Henry had got her attention, plus she hadn't expected any of the students to show their power off right away. So she was a little disappointed in the once called Bruce as well. She sighed. Putting her hands up as if to stop the students.
"Alright Henry, the class doesn't need a smart ass okay? The reason the place is set out the way it is, is so we have the space to practice the abilities" she said and rolled her eyes and then she looked at the one called Bruce.
"And Bruce, you will have plenty time to show off your abilities, I was only looking for you to introduce yourself" then she looked over at the one Bruce had said was his brother. "And I'm sure your brother can speak for himself, right James?" she said looking in the direction in which Bruce pointed.
Yes, Angela had a fantastic idea, this was going to be a roaring success and she had to keep them all under control, brilliant, just brilliant.

Leona followed everybody else into the room the teacher or adult had told them to go into. She noticed it had a weird set up with the desks, but figured there had to be a valid reason for the classroom being set out the way it was so she said nothing, as she took her seat beside Henry. Nobody else was going to be sitting beside him she thought.
When Henry made the joke she just sighed, and rolled her eyes, she thought the set up was weird but she'd never think of making a joke about it, and then the one called Bruce who she'd briefly met earlier, started using his powers. Looked like the teacher, adult Niki wasn't too impressed with either Henry or Bruce.
Leona just laughed into herself, typical guys really.
"I'm Leona Stevens and my ability is Telepathy" she said loud and clear and sat back down at her desk again, looking to the side to wink at Henry, remembering how she had used her ability to play him a few days ago.

Rebekah also followed the teacher through into the room they were all told to go, she too noticed the layout, but didn't think too much of it. She smiled as the woman wrote her name and ability on the board in front of them. Once the teacher had mouthed off to Henry and Bruce, she made her way over to sit beside James. Why wouldn't she, he was her boyfriend after all, and she sure as hell wasn't going to sit anywhere else.
She nudged him gently as she sat down, and smiled at him. "Looks like your brother just got told off by the teacher" she said and sort of laughed a little bit. Then she stood up and looked out toward the front of the class.
"I'm Rebekah Taylor and my ability is Phasing" she said, and sat back down again. She wondered what this place was going to teach them, what it would offer. Anything different to what she already knew?

Carla followed behind Bruce as they made their way into the classroom, she laughed when Henry made the joke about the seating arrangements, thinking that it would have been something Bruce would have done if Henry hadn't beaten him to it, however when the teacher didn't seem overly impressed, Carla stopped laughing, smile slipping from her face. She of course sat down beside Bruce.
She leaned over and whispered into his ear, "I'm not sure I'm going to like this place" and then turned back around to pay attention, as she didn't want to get blasted by the teacher who had Superhuman Strength, who knows what she could when she was angry.
After a few students had got up and said their name and their ability, she too followed suit.
"Carla Norton and my ability is Telekinesis" she said softly and sat back down again.

The joke about the AA meeting was slightly funny but Derlyn didn't think Nikki was going to be so. Well direct. Whistling he was definitely glad at the moment he was the outcast. But how else are you going to put students with multiple abilities in place. Rubbing his forehead Derlyn was getting a headache. Forth time this week he has gotten one for no good reason. He would see the doctor or nurse or whatever they had here later.
Hearing other people's abilities was quite interesting. Some were cool and Derlyn would love to see in action. Staring around he realized that they were all close together. So those are friends...hmm... he thought for awhile and then turned his attention back to Nikki. How was this going to turn out for him? There were so many ways always could end up a drop out. Yeah a drop out from a school for people with abilities. What does that say?

Henry grinned sheepishly when Nikki told him off. First day and he was already making the teacher frustrated with him. That was a new record for him. Normally it took a day for the teacher to get sick and annoyed with him. Henry figured he'd just sit back and watched how things would turn out. Who knows, maybe he'd enjoy himself here.
Sitting back, he listened as everyone introduced themselves and named their power. There were so many different kinds of powers just sitting there in this one little room. He had always been curious as to why people had powers. What made them so special that they could do stuff no one else could? Was it in their blood? Maybe it was some freak meteor storm like on that show Smallville. Whatever the case, Henry was looking forward to learn here.

James walked in and sat down in the class. He thought it was stupid how they had to come here. What knew could he possibly learn, and the only one who had the same power was his brother, Bruce. So no one could teach him anything, not even Bruce, because James had his ability under more control.
James watched as Bruce stood up and said his power and gave everyone a little show. Ha! Weak James thought about his brother.
"Yeah well im obviously James as my idiotic brother over there had said, we do have the same power but im a little more advanced then he is. So ah yeah kiddies any questions?" James said looking around the room.
He sat back down next to Bex. "Why are we here?" He said so that only she could hear.

James seemed to be a bit of the class smart ass, even more then Henry. When he called Bruce an "idiot" Bruce was kind of offended, until he remembered what they were like when they were kids, always teasing, but never really meaning it.
Then James mentioned that he was more advanced then Bruce himself was. That was probably true, but Bruce didn't like being treated small in front of a lot of people who he had only just met, so he conjured a ball of water, and dropped it on James' head, sticking up his hand and giving James the finger.
"Smart ass" He mouthed to James, only talking loud enough for Carla to hear him, turning to her and smiling.

Rebekah just sat quietly as James introduced himself and his power and was a bit of a smart ass about it. She figured if Niki had a go at Henry for his AA joke, then she'd sure have a go at James for showing off and being nasty about his brother. However, Rebekah found the whole sibling rivalry quite funny, and hopefully Niki would too and not go off on one again.
She was proud of James' ability, and she couldn't wait to see what he would do in the class when it came to showing off their powers. She laughed when he asked if the kiddies had any questions. She figured it would be Niki who would say that, however, again she remained quiet until James sat down and asked her a question that was.
She leaned in toward him so only he would hear her answer, "I don't know, want to make an escape?" she asked feeling a little rebellious, but at the same time, she was looking forward to showing off her ability to everybody else.

Carla wasn't too pleased when James called Bruce an idiot, she just hoped it was all a part of this sibling rivalry thing they had going, because otherwise it wasn't a very nice thing to hear Bruce being called. She desperately wanted to get to know James and like him, but he wasn't doing too good a job of it so far. Of course, if they were just teasing each other, then that would be different.
When he conjured the water ball and put it over James' head Carla couldn't help but laugh.
"You're gonna have Niki off at you" Carla said with a grin but continued to laugh anyway. "Yeah, he truly is a smart ass, more so than Henry" Carla said quietly so only Bruce could hear.

"Alright, alright guys, settle down" Niki began, as she watched a couple of them tease each other and get a little out of control.
"I don't want to be one of these 'teachers' who are all nasty and shouting all the time" Niki began, taking a deep breath and sighing before continuing, "So am not going to keep telling you guys off, and it's pretty obvious you're all eager to get your powers shown off" she added as she looked out at them and smiled.
"I think we've covered the basics, so why don't you start showing everybody what you can do, who ever wants to go first, but not all at once, that could get a bit catastrophic" Niki said with a bit of a laugh. Of course Niki would show her own ability soon enough, once she'd seen the kids and seen that they handled their ability fine.
