"Thomas Johnson. I don't know why I was selected to come here. I just know a lot about spirits and the like, but most people here have special abilities......heard about you, though. Don't let people base their expectations on your father's achievements. You're not your father.", he told her, as if he could somehow read her mind.
((OOC: He can't....that's not his abililty, he's just very perceptive.))

"Thanks, it's good to hear that from someone," She said, "I'm so used to people expecting to be just like my dad, but he's just on a whole different level. Then again, he's been doing this kind of stuff his whole life. Anyway, I'm sure there's a good reason why they selected you, Dr.Wakeman was very careful about who she selected according to my father." Leone sniffed. "Yeah, which is why his reputation got you in the door,"He said. Ayame glared at him. "I hope obnoxiousness is your power, because it's REALLY effective," She said, "If nothing else you could annoy our enemies to death." "Shove it," Leone said.

"Hmm.....I could try something to get him off your back." He suggested, pulling out an old leather-and-rune bound book from the smaller pocket of his backpack.
"I've never actually used these books before. Guess it couldn't hurt to start now....." he said, more to himself.
"Look, buddy. Just leave her alone. If you don't, I can guarentee your day will be much worse. And that's not a threat; it's a promise." He remarked, grinning, as he read the words in the book in his head to be sure he was pronouncing them right.

"Oh yeah, I'm REAL frightened," Leone laughed, "Oh my God, it's an older book, woopdee doo."

Thomas mumbled a bunch of words that sounded like a very strange variation of Latin mixed with something unidentifiable, staring at the page. He'd never done this before.
Leone then proceeded to punch himself hard in the face.
"Oh, well you didn't have to go and hit yourself. I'm sure she would have forgiven you if you'd asked nicely." He chuckled, proud of his accomplishment, and amazed it had actually worked.

Leone winced in pain. "I don't know what you just did, but you're going to pay for it," Leone said, his voice rising. "Would you just SHUT UP," Ayame said, holding back laughter.

Thomas then read some more lines, and Leone began to itch.....everywhere.
"That should wear off by the end of the day. Just to remind you not to mess with her, or me, for that matter, again." He said, a bit more serious this time, but holding back laughter.

Leone started to scratch his arm, extremely agitated. "I really, REALLY hate you," He hissed. Ayame couldn't hep it, he laughed out loud. "How did you do that?" She asked Thomas.

"Well, I translated the script into English, and then into it's original script, using the English alphabet. That way, I'd be able to read it, but I'd be saying the original words. I know what all of these do, and how to say them. Took me a while. Those are the first two I've ever actually used....I was actually bluffing at first. I didn't think they'd work." He said smiling, as somebody came around with a mic trying to get everybody to be quiet.

Ayame smiled. Thomas was clearly underestimating himself, and as of right now there should be no doubt that he was a worthy selection for the academy. She wondered nervously if she was skilled enough to have earned her stay. The teachers had started moving through the auditorium, most were standing towards the front, looking out at the students as they flooded in. Ayame scanned through the line of teachers, so many of them recognizable almost instantly. Of course they were, they were all well known heroes. Soon enough Ayame's eyes found the most familiar in the line, a man with spiked blonde hair and a blue headband. His dark blue eyes met hers. Her father. He smiled slightly, nodding at her in acknowledgment. She grinned, waving at him, then stopping midway through the gesture, embarrassed. Ayame finally felt that she could relax, if only for a moment. She finally felt like she was home.

Thomas spotted a man with glasses and brownish hair walk in, smiling, looking like a complete nerd.
That would be Alex, his cousin once removed, who had apparently gone missing until a few years back, and had been asked to teach the technology class.
Thomas sighed. He could already tell they had nothing in common, and he wondered what abilities he had that allowed him to teach there. All the teachers had supposedly been heroes at one point. It didn't make sense to him, as his Dad hadn't mentioned anything about Alex having any special skills. He would wait and see what happened.
**************
Alex saw his 'cousin' in a seat near the back. He had been surprised to learn he would be teaching him in one of his classes....surprised, actually, that he still had any family connections at all. His Dad had never mentioned he'd had a brother.
He gave a small wave at Thomas, smiling, and plotting what sort of stunts his human camouflage would allow him to pull on his students, especially on the first day.

Ayame watched as Thomas' eyes followed a new teacher, a sort of unassuming guy with brown hair. "Do you know him?" She asked. *** Champ grinned ask Alex entered the auditorium. "I don't think most of the kids know what to make of you," Champ said, "I think they're confused, the human camo makes you almost unrecognizable." ((OOC:For the sake of this RP we're going to assume Champ and Alex have already met))

"Like that's a good thing?" another teacher asks. "How are these students supposed to trust us if we don't even look like ourselves?" The man holds out his hand for a shake. "Gene Wright, by the way. I'm the bio teacher. And you guys are...?"

Champ shakes Gene's hand, smiling. "Champ Mars," He says, "Nice to meet you, my daughter will be in your class."
