Catherine merely sighed to herself as she followed the teacher's request. At least this time her power did not cause the disturbance and that was her concern the beginning of class. She wasn't sure what they would they would do once they were out there, she simply kept quiet and stepped out in the hall.
Frank was relishing the the thought of Cassie kissing him. He was a bit confused though now that it was out in the open did that mean he and Cassie are REALLY dating or is it over. He could feel the stares the whole class was giving him. He still opened the door for Cassie and bowed hoping that his audience would question what Cassie said about liking Smithe more than her. After she was out the door he followed. He started with "LOOK CASSIE! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! You say that I have some obsession over her. I don't think you know who my father is. He works for a government organization protecting humanity from freaks like her. I do the same by making sure I keep her down so she doesn't try anything protecting us, humanity at the school. Since the cat is out of the bag. I'll give you 5 good reasons why you should believe what I say!" he say referring to his fists.
Catherine wasn't really paying attention, she thought it would be a couple's shout fest ending with Frank getting burned. She kept to herself when her senses detected something was going to hit her she crossed her fore arms over her head in attempt to block. "Please Frank, I'm sorry" tears crawl down her cheeks "*sniffs* I didn't know how it happened this morning"
"LIES!" Frank redirected his punch and landed it in her stomach.

the Heartbreaker, but you can call me Love. 
Cassie ducked past Frank Carmichael as he held the door for her after Catherine, ignoring the catcalls the two received. All in all, being sent to the hall didn't seem like that bad of a punishment, Cassie couldn't help but think as Frank let the door close to the classroom behind him. That was when he began to talk about how his father worked to protect humanity from "freaks like Cathrine."
Cassandra Diaz knew very well who his father was, he worked in some intelligence agency- a lot like Shield but more politically friendly- that worked to hunt down and capture mutants, particularly newly realized mutants. How many nightmares did she have related to him and his people when she was on the run? She had lost count, but the things she bought (or convinced people to give her) always made her- still does for that matter- feel better.
Her back was to him as he talked, her teeth closed on her thumb nail, and she was about to counter with 'an obsession is an obsession be it sexual in nature or due to hatred' when she heard his last line about giving her five reasons that she shouldn't believe Catherine's words and Catherine's pleas. Spinning around, her brown curls flying over her shoulder she watched in horror as Frank's fist met Catherine's stomach.
It felt like things moved in slow motion as she placed herself between the two, pushing Frank back and snapping. "Who the Hell do you think you are? Do you think your so special because you don't carry the wrong genetics?! All I see in front of me is a big bully who hates the freaky mousy weird chick who tries to keep to herself. All I see is two cowards, one hiding behind bravado and the other lies- to herself and others."
Narrowing her green eyes at Catherine she snapped, "It doesn't take a genius to figure out what you did this morning. And sure you didn't mean to, but that doesn't mean you can't figure out how you did what you did. Basically you lost control of your powers... and you, Frank Carmichael-" She turned on him, stepping towards him, her leg entwining with his, it would have been sexy if she hadn't used the move to pull him to the ground, before squatting down on the ground beside him as he rubbed his head.
Looking down at him she said, "If you are so worried about freaks like Catherine- not freaks like her- freaks like Catherine and me. You should worry about me. I could take over the world with my power, making anyone do my bidding, but Catherine the worst she could do if provoked bad enough is perhaps kill you or put you in limbo for a very long time. Learn this now, little man, about mutants, the only reason we haven't taken over is there are people like me stopping people like the Brotherhood from killing pathetic weasels like you."
Smirking she added, "And what is really messed up is even though I know you're a pathetic weasel, I still kind of like you in a strange way. Your move, Frank Carmichael. I'm your pawn, baby... to a point of course."

Catherine felt her stomach sink sunk lower as she heard Cassie's accusation that she knew how she did what she did. It felt even lower when she pointed out the fact that if she wanted to she could kill someone if she wanted to tears continue to stream. "But I didn't even know I could do what I did this morning *sniff* I do not want to hurt anyone. It just happened...*sniff* I don't ... want to hurt..." she holds her stomach tighter.
As Frank discovers Cassie's secret his grew pale. He looked like he was going to hurle at the thought that shared a kiss with a mutant. Fingers cover his mouth. He felt nauseous and runs to the mens room.
With Frank gone it was just Catherine and Cassie in the hall. Catherine just looks down ashamed it felt like the day she realized her parents couldn't look at her. Again the shame waved over her.

the Heartbreaker, but you can call me Love.
Sighing, Cassie stood up, debating briefly whether to follow Frank Carmichael but decided against it. Stretching, she said aloud, "That went well..." sighed Cassie. "I guess love can't conquer all." Of course, if he wasn't still head over heels in love with her, did that mean that she never used her power fully on him like she had planned. Things were just getting more and more complicated today. And it didn't help, that Cassie felt the slightest bit disappointed that Frank Carmichael reacted the way he did finding out she was a mutant.
Turning to Catherine, she hurried over and said, placing a hand on her shoulder, "Are you okay, Catherine? Or do you go by Shadow Walker, like my brother called you?" Her eyebrows were raised in concern. "I'm really sorry, I couldn't stop him. But, on the bright side, while he tries to make sense of the fact he's loved a mutant and even before we talked told his friends he'd like to hook up with me, he shouldn't be calling anyone to take us in. After all what's worse kissing a mutant or being attacked by one?"

Catherine Smithe
Shadow Walker  Catherine felt Cassie's hand on her shoulder, she looks up to her a moment. Then looks down at the floor feeling uncertain if she should talk to her. She couldn't help but feel a little betrayed from what she had told Frank, especially after what happened in the girls bathroom this morning. Perhaps there was something she wasn't seeing, she wipes her eyes with one hand and continue to hold the pain back with pressure with her other hand. She started softly, "It's Catherine here and Shadow Walker everywhere else..." She looks straight ahead, I'm afraid he has exactly what he needs to turn me in and there's no hiding the fact that I'm a mutant... you on the other hand he may try to say that you had your way with him, that you forced a kiss on him, which could easily be worded as 'she forced herself on me' which could easily be misinterpreted as ...y'know... they'll think the worst of us first before they think the best of us..." she paused for a moment, "W-why did you call me a liar? W-why did you call me a killer?" her glazed eyes look up to her, then squinted as a sudden sting struck her. She didn't think punches would hurt so much, granted it was the first time she was hit, she had not been trained to throw hits or take them.
After the pain subsided a little she thought to herself. This was supposed to be her year. This was supposed to be the year where she didn't have to be ashamed for what she is. This was going to be the year she would take some pride but all of that confidence, was completely shattered, crushed. She sighs and lets her hair down hiding her ears. Her hair was still damped but she let it dome down anyway. Her eyes look back down. Pain stung again and she put more pressure on her side.

"I didn't say you were a killer: I said you could kill with your power. Just like I or anyone else for that matter could use a gun to kill someone. Hell, you can use about anything, not just mutant abilities, to kill someone," sighed Cassie, smiling faintly at Catherine. "And either you are completely stupid or a liar if you are sticking with the story that you have no clue what happened this morning with your powers. I remember the first time my power activated it took me only an hour or two after I was almost killed because of its activation to figure out what happened."
"Not that any of that matters," said Cassie. "I really am sorry that I couldn't stop Frank... stop him from throwing a punch. It might hurt like hell but you should be okay in the long run from a punch like that. I've taken worse hits in the danger room when I first started training as an X-Man."
"And, don't worry about Frank Carmichael and me," added Cassie. "I'd love to see him make up lies about me forcing myself on him. It is a case he wouldn't win, though I kind of wished he would as I've always wanted to be with someone I can look in the eye and he or she tells me they hate me. But, it isn't going to happen. Carmichael is a revenge based creature, he'll want to confront us first before he makes his move." Smiling and raising a peace sign she said, "I'd bet my complete collection of sunglasses on it."

Catherine Smithe
Shadow Walker Catherine half smiled for a second comforted by Cassie's words. "My powers did not first manifest today. Until this morning I thought the full extent of my powers was just teleporting through shadow. Yet I will agree that since something unexpected happen, that yeah, I guess things went out of control this morning. I only have theories of what triggered it, but not entirely sure what 'it' is. Heck eye contact was beginning to be one of my theories, especially since I heard your story. I do recall students saying that my eyes looked weird when it all happened this morning, some say they were glowing, thus why avoided eye contact with Carmichael in class earlier..."
It seemed as though Catherine really wanted to know what exactly happened this morning, not just how she triggered it but what did she trigger. Heck she did mention that she wanted to go out side to test something earlier in the bathroom. Above all else it was definitely obvious that she could use some training to better her chances out there.
"I think I need to go to the nurse... I may need some ice on this...oh, but I don't want to miss Mr. Pierson's class..." Catherine leans against the wall holding her side. She knew that Quick Silver would not let this one go if he found out that she had to go to the nurse after one punch. She sucked it in stood up and while leaning on the the wall straightened herself slowly and knocked on the door for Mr. Pierson to let them in.

'Sparks'  
Jacqueline tapped her pencil on her phone staring at her wallpaper that was a picture of her and Pietro with Catherine standing in front of a building they had just broke into. She smiled, that was a good mission they hadn't had any trouble from the X-Men or the government. It was just a clean, in and out mission for some file that Magento wanted. As she tapped her phone, it vibrated reminding her she still hadn't replied to Catherine or Pietro about Warp's after school activity. She opened the message and saw a bunch of question marks following the word 'Hello'. The text was from Pietro, he was so impatient. She replied to his message saying she was in class.
Sighing she looked up at the board at the math problems she had yet to begin working on. They wouldn't take her long, she was good at figuring things out, correction she was good at figuring out logical things like machines, formulas, and numbers. What she couldn't figure out was herself and why she hadn't answered Warp and Catherine earlier in the hall, why couldn't she of said yes like she wanted to. Something told her it would be a bad idea, it would make they're rivalry with the X-Men worse. However, even though her gut was against it she knew she'd be confirming her involvement in the 'kidnapping' soon.
Supporting her head with a free hand as she started on the math problems, Jac frowned as she felt drained. She had outputted to much when she confronted Cassandra. She was so stupid to snap like that, it wasn't like her. The Brotherhood was rubbing off on her, she cracked a smile a that thought. Her old family wouldn't even recognize the person she had become since she ran away. It was strange though, ever since she had come to Bayville she didn't feel like she was being hunted anymore though she still did feel like someone was watching her. She didn't think it was the Mutant Hunters, they would of snatched her or someone in the Brotherhood by now if they were. She shook the feeling off and looked back to her work, what had taken her classmates the majority of the class time to do had only taken her five minutes. She sighed, this class was going to be boring and hard to hide her talents. As was auto shop, but she couldn't resist the class. Her arm was shaking slightly from supporting her head and she sat up, she had to recharge a bit. Her eyes feel to her phone and she flipped it over, starting to take out the battery but stopped when she realized she'd need it to talk with Catherine, Warp and Pietro. She sighed, she'd just have to deal with the weakness till her body recharged naturally, Joy.

Cassie smiled at Catherine's worries and said, "Hell, your eyes always look weird. You're a mutant who underwent physical changes with your power what do you expect?"
Her words were cut short when Mr. Pierson opened the door, his face scowling down at them, arms crossed. "What do you two want? And where is Carmichael?"
"Carmichael decided to skip out. He figured since you kicked us out there was no reason to hang around. Especially since I refused to make out with him considering Catherine was there. Generally, I'm not into putting on a show. But, we miss your class. Can you at least give us what we missed?" She added the last one meeting Mr. Pierson's eyes and batting her own green eyes.
"Fine, I can't take back my punishment but I'll give you your books and make you, Carmichael, and Catherine lab partners since we have an odd number of students." He slammed the door on them before Cassie or Catherine could protest and came back a minute later handed them their books and disappeared into class once again.
Cassie gasped looking down at her book, fuming, "Great, we are with the self proclaimed mutant hunter. Not cool... not cool at all." She glanced over at Catherine and asked with a forced smile, "So how you holding up, over there?"

Alexander William Diaz
"Call me Warp."
"To conjugate sum..." began Alexander Diaz in his second Latin I class of the day. This class he had the benefit of actually beginning to teach. He couldn't help but be thankful that he only had introductory Latin classes, a Mythology class, and one introductory Spanish class to teach throughout the day since he knew he couldn't properly focus on teaching more complex topics during the day.
One big overreaching topic was weighing on Alexander's mind: the kidnapping of his sister. There was the fact that Catherine immediately jumped on board to the plan, and apparently Quicksilver was up for it too, but Sparks had yet to give an answer to his proposal.
On the brightside, Quicksilver had already gotten mirrored glasses, and Alexander had already in general formulated his plan on kidnapping his sister. Smiling he thought to himself as he taught, Enjoy the next few hours you have free, dear sister, because it is only a matter of time before you're in the Brotherhood's hands. And on a more affectionate note, kidnapping Cassie meant that Alexander could catch up with her a little bit. Not the most touching reunion, but a reunion none the less.

Catherine smiled at Cassie's comment and says, "Yeah, you're probably right." With that she disregarded what the students said this morning. She thought it silly to have made a big deal about it. mc2 She glanced over at Catherine and asked with a forced smile, "So how you holding up, over there?"
"I was really hoping I'd go back to class and just deal with it. Since that's no longer an option perhaps going to the nurse wouldn't be a bad idea." She leaned against the wall and pulled up her shirt revealing a very big and bad bruise. " Crud! " she let the shirt drop concealing it again. "I must be nothing but a feather to him, one of the top players of the football team. You must think me soft.", she says to Cassie and uses one hand on the wall while the other on her stomach prevent it from aching. "I don't think I should use my power to get to her I'm not sure how I'm going to land..." she starts her way to the nurse carefully.

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so... ...absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”  Roxie woke up early that morning with the sunlight from her window in her eyes. She did her usual morning routine, shower, towel dry hair, brush teeth, brush hair, etc. She was feeling a bit down, she had one of her familiar longings. She needed to create, but she had school today... Roxie sighed and looked at her watch, she still had a half an hour before most of the mansion's other inhabitants would wake up, and more than an hour before school. She decided to take a morning flight. Roxie was dressed in a pair of old boot cut jeans with blue and purple paint stains, it also had a few holes from ware at the knees, but all and all didn't look that bad. Her shirt was white with a black butterfly on it, which had random blue and purple paint stains too, which looked nice. Over it was a black, paint stain free, jacket, and stain free dark blue scarf. She grabbed a bagel from the kitchen and headed out the door with her book bag.  Once Roxie made sure her book bag was secure enough she took a deep breath, and grew her wings. She flapped her wings a few times to make sure they were ok, put the bagel in her mouth, and launched herself into the skies. She smiled taking a deep breath of the morning air around her. "I hope I don't get in trouble again for flying out in the public. Its early enough that no one should be out and be able to see me." She thought, frowning a bit. She started looking at the landscape below her. "What a beautiful sun rise... Sometimes I wish i cold just stay up here forever... But were to land... the park isn't too far from school, and I could draw there for awhile, then just walk to school..." The more she thought about it, the more she liked it. She'd gone to the park many times before to paint or draw the nice landscape after school. It was a peaceful place that she felt at peace at. It was her apartment roof top, but covered in grass, and on the ground level.  Once Roxie landed she looked around making sure no one saw her. Once satisfied that no one had to her knowledge, she climbed a tree and laid on one of its thick lower branches. She took out her sketch book and a pencil. She started sketching the park, but from her view, which was partially obscured by leaves and branches, once she was finished, she looked at her watch in horror. She had already missed the first block of classes! She packed up her stuff and started walking to the school. "Well, at least I'm not feeling down anymore..." Roxie reached the school halfway in the middle of the second class period and signed in at the attendance office, making up an excuse of sleeping late. There was no doubt she'd be forced to have a talk with Xavier about this later... She sighed inwardly at the thought. She grabbed her stuff and started heading for her 3rd class,  Latin. She figured it'd be about the time for it to begin by the time she got there. In the halls while Roxie was making her way to Latin, she passed Cathrine, and another student talking in the halls. She heard one word that proved her thoughts about the purple haired girl true, Powers, and she stopped. She smiled at Catherine, but avoided making eye contact, instead focusing on the other X-men member's nose. "Good morning Cassie." She said smiling, then glanced at the other mutant who was walking away, "The things I miss when I decided to skip a few classes and draw." She said shaking her head, but had a grin on her face to show she was joking. Which was half true, she never had intended to miss half of school, she just lost track of time. "So, I guess shes like us?" She asked.

Cassie was about to go help Catherine when Roxie showed up. Turning to Roxie Cassie nodded and smiling, even though she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose at the paint splattered clothes Dragonfly wore. Despite their differences in fashion sense; however, the two girls did get along well enough. They were similar in their good personalities. Cassie may be more sarcastic, to the point, and a flair to be the ruling queen, but they both were fairly bubbly in general personality.
"Yeah, Catherine Smithe is special, too," sighed Cassie. "But that isn't the only thing you missed. You missed the fact my brother is here as the new Latin teacher. Frank Carmichael got his mouth sealed shut by Catherine-unintentionally of course by Catherine-, my reputation going up in flames, me getting kicked out of physics after I kissed Frank Carmichael- long story- and the cheeky guy trying to tongue me in front of the whole class. Oh, and Frank Carmichael is having a breakdown in the little boy's room since he found out the girl he just kissed is a mutant. But, nah, besides that you missed nothing."
Smiling a big smile and closing her eyes while holding up a peace sign she said, "So, what's new with you?" Dropping her cheerfulness she added seriously, "We probably should go help Catherine, she took a punch in the stomach from Carmichael a few minutes ago."

Catherine Smithe
Shadow Walker Catherine narrowed her eyes at Roxie as she made her observation. "Thanks captain obvious" she utters under her breath.I've been here all of this time then suddenly people seem to have 'discovered I'm a mutant'. Geesh what more do I need to scream that blue skin? She was slowly making progress along the wall, pain acting up when she moved.
She then heard Cassie fill Roxie in, she smacks her face and stretches it. She wasn't particularly proud of what she did this morning. Even though this was something she'd been wanting to do the part of her accidentally doing it was something she didn't like. She really would have like to say she did it on purpose but that was not the truth but would she have felt better even if she knew exactly what she was doing? "That's it!" She let her self fall through her shadow and it spat her out from the other side of the lockers slamming her against an air conditioning unit, "Ow..." it was like watching a bird that was trying to take off despite the broken wing.
She then heard from the other end of the hall "We probably should go help Catherine, she took a punch in the stomach from Carmichael a few minutes ago" Despite the fact she didn't want to admit it, she knew when she needed help and her power thrashing her did not help her a bit. Granted she was able to get from point a to point b landing was a bit of an issue, inconsistent one might add. Which was another reason she would only use it in a confusion of a crowd or when no one was looking. It was great that the Brotherhood gave her the chance to use her power more frequently but training was another issue entirely. Being told not to use her powers for 3 years didn't help.

ᎡიჯᎥɇ Շɧɇ Ꭰɾลᶃიռʄƪყ  Roxie nodded while half listening to Cassie. "Carmichael... Carmichael... Who was he?.. Oh yeah, the football player. I guess he was one of Cassie's toys. Meh, I hate all this drama. Doesn't she know by now I was joking when I said what did I miss? I could care less about some football player that hates mutants. But I have Latin next, so that was a good heads up." She thought. She heard Catherine mutter a word under her breath, and once Cassie had finished catching her up, she nodded. "Nothing really, just sketched a new picture. And I agree. You can leave it to me, I have a pass." She said smiling and walked over to Catherine. She gently took Catherine's arm by the wrist and put it over her shoulder to help support the injured mutant. "Thanks for the new nickname, but dragonfly's just fine." She said a bit jokingly, referring to the captain obvious comment. "Just don't call me it at school. And I've suspected you for awhile, but with all the popularity in foreign fashions these days I didn't want to accuse you, and there for expose myself." She said smiling warmly. "So, I'm Roxie," She said, bowing her head a bit in a mock bow, "and I'll be your escort for today. To the nurse's office then?" She asked grinning in a friendly way.
