The gates stood closed for the time being.
The archway in which they would soon pass was crafted of white marble, the gates themselves gleaming iron, freshly polished.
The estate grounds were vast, and eyes roamed to each corner they might, taking in what they would. The school itself was as impressive as any they might have expected; compromised of several buildings. Some more than one story in floor plan, some even upwards of three, much like the most expansive of college universities.
There the relative newcomers would begin their education in classes meant for youngsters of their tender years. It would also be where many of the gifted would be taught to harness their talents for the betterment of society around them.
Somewhere also on this grand campus stood two double story dormitories where they would reside during the school year as a second home away from home. They would have roommates, meeting new faces and for the older kids, meeting up again with old friends and making new ones as well.
They watched as the two adults approached. The woman was a powerful figure, and seemed to command respect in her very posture. Clad in white, the new kids knew already she was not someone that was to be crossed; the Principal of Hero High, Emma Grace Frost. The man lacked any emotion on his visage. He wore an expensive business suit and like the woman, he too walked with a strong posture; Vice-Principal, Bruce Wayne.
Bruce: They look nervous.
Emma: Can you blame them? You could unnerve a ghost with those expressions you carry Mister Wayne.
Bruce: And I suppose you do not aim for intimidation?
Emma: I am who I am.
Bruce Wayne and Emma Frost arrive at the gates which slowly swing open of their own accord. Yet none of the kids or their parents who arrived with them made to move inside.
Emma stepped up to the forefront of the gathering and in a strong voice, she spoke;
"A new year arrives here at Hero High and Mister Wayne and myself would like to bid you welcome. To our new students, we hope this experience proves worthy and beneficial as you begin a new journey here.'
Bruce: Miss Frost and myself hope this path be a smooth one. To all of our returning students, your chosen path continues on, and we expect as much out of you this year as we have in previous years. You have your packets with your class schedule and dorm assignments.
Emma: The weekend begins. Please use it wisely to get acquainted with our campus, and with friends old and new. Rule breaking will not be tolerated. Classes begin within two days.
Emma stepped aside and gestured with her arm toward the campus.
Emma: Welcome one and all, to Hero High!

Chris shoulders his bags, checks his letter, and heads towards Dorm 102.
I wonder who my roommate will be...
Vice Principal Wayne intercepts him before he can get ten feet.
Mr. Powell.
Y-yes? gonk
You will volunteering your time to the library this year.
WHAT? I just got here and didn't even do anything...yet...
This is a continuation of your punishment for the "panty raid" you conducted last year. You refused to turn in your accomplice and Ms Marks is still missing...clothes.
But...
Do not test me, Mr Powell.
Yes, sir.
Chris trudges off towards his dorm.

Cassie was outside the school wrestling with a griffin..
"Co'mon?! I need that.. it's my class schedule.."
Cassie was up in the air some of the other students were already staring at the poor girl.
"I can't play right now! I promise I'll play with you later.."
Cassie ripped the paper out of the griffin's mouth and sighed as the griffin left.
" Great the school year hasn't even started yet and gotta use the griffin ate my schedule excuse.."
She flew down to the ground and made her way to dorm 103.

On a separate part of the campus, a young man and his parents sit in one of the science labs. Professor Magnus, the school's Metal Shop instructor talks to the parents as the boy stares out the window, listening to his ipod.
"-am pleased that you decided to enroll Hartley at Hero High this year, Osgood. With him at close hand, I will be able to monitor the implants and make any adjustments necessary."
Professor Magnus shakes Osgood Rathaway's hand and embraces his wife Rachel.
"Yes, and I'm sure that gymnasium we paid for helped to speed things along a bit too with enrollment, Will. You know that Hartley is...special."
"Hm, yes, his grades are rather poor."
Will Magnus looks over at the boy, who makes no indication of hearing over his music and continues looking out the window. Osgood Rathaway nods.
"I expect you all to straighten him up-"
Leans in and mutters to Will.
"In more ways than one."
"Osgood!"
His wife looks at him incensed.
"Quiet, Rachel. Will, we paid you a lot of money to fix Hartley's...defect. And I expect that you would like to continue seeing grants like that. So I'm placing it on you to make sure Hartley remains....defect-free. Such a thing can only be expected of a Rathaway."
Magnus does nothing but nod and the adults continue small talk as Hartley scowls...a scowl that has nothing to do with the music, and everything to do with whatever else he hears...

*Peter felt really self-conscious about being here. Not only did he have the whole spider-powers thing going on. But being a year younger than most of the other students was also something nthat was going to catch him hell, and he was dreading it.*
*Still, he made his way ibnto his dorm, and started setting up his side of his room with a few odds and ends. Pictures of Aunt May and Uncle Ben, as well as posters of the Fantastic Four.*

*Guy makes his way into his dorm room. His bags following behind him carried by disembodied green hands.*
'Sup, geek. Stay on your side, and I'll stay on mine.
*The energy hands make all of Guy's things disappear into his closet and desser. Then start putting up posters of women in bikinis, cars, and at least one stealth bomber. As well as a poster of himself with the other Lanterns from Earth.*

Danielle Baptiste Man, you could crush coal into diamonds with that tight a**.
*Dani Whispers to Chris Powell, with a laugh* And i do mean tight a**. *Glances back at Wayne's buttocks*
*Nudges Chris, with a giggle*
Oh look! *Shows him her schedule* Check it out. Room 102. and Room 102. Guess that means we are roomies. Boy that will make my nights very interesting. *Winks* Principal Emma Frost lays her hand on Danielle's shoulder and levels a cold stare at her. Emma: Think again young lady. If I catch you anywhere near the boy's dorms, we will have a talk. A long one. Emma steps back to allow the flow of students and family to flow past.

After Cassie makes it to her dorm. She puts up a poster with a picture of Athens on it. She also puts up one picture on her nightstand of her mom and herself, and puts two pictures on her desk.. one of her with Donna and Diana.. and one with Conner, Bart, Tim, and herself. She took out red sheets and made her bed. Cassie then started to put her clothes in the closet.. She looked at the room assignments..
"Hmm.. it looks like my room mate's name is also Cassandra... well that can get confusing. I hope we can get a long. Since she's not here yet I guess I'll take a look around the campus. I'm going to need to get another copy of my schedule anyways.."
Cassie sighed as she left her dorm room to look around the campus.

"Mother, I do not wish to do this. There is a war to be fought. Glory and immortality to be gained." **Thetis, goddess of the sea, smiled sadly at her son who stood with her in the shore waters at the beach of Troy. She knew...yes, she knew.** "And it will be yours my son, but not now. Not yet. Your father Lord Zeus wishes for you to make this journey and learn of a time that has not yet come to pass. To leearn of an age yet to come and meet soldiers and heroes that one day your name will rest alongside through the annals of history.""Yet Troy goes unfought." "No, Achilles. When the time comes for you to return, you will be brought back to the moment of your departure. No time will have passed.""That can be done?" **Thetis smiled** "There are advantages to being a god dearest son."**She caressed Achilles's cheek.** "If it will make you feel better, I do see that you have family awaiting you in this time. A half-sister. She too will be attending this school.""I have a ... sister?" **Thetis smiled** "Indeed. Go now. Mysia will be allowed to accompany you."**Achilles looked up at his dear friend and smiled** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **The sound of the elephant trumpeting from high overhead drew startled looks and gasps as high above, the uncanny visage of an elephant walking on the air itself above Hero High** "Oh my god!" "Are you seeing this?" "Does that elephant have TWO trunks?" **Mysia walks down the air as if she walked on steps and landed with a thud that rattled the cars and windows. Achilles slipped down from her side and dropped to the lawn of the school's front. He slung a large, brown sack over his broad shoulder and looked about with uncertainty**

As his parents finish up with Professor Magnus, Hartley watches the spectacle of a giant elephant-thing landing in the middle of campus from the distant window of the metals lab.
He raises an eyebrow as people scatter underneath it.
"-will check in once in a while. But not TOO often. The boy has to learn some responsibility."
Osgood Rathaway shakes Magnus's hand again, and then walks over to where his son is sitting. Hartley doesn't move, still leaning on the windowsill and looking out.
"Hartley, it's time for your mother and I to leave. Your things have all been brought up to your room. I expect you to behave as a Rathaway should. Hartley? HARTLEY!"
Osgood shakes Hartley on the shoulder, who slowly turns from the window and pulls the headphones off.
"Huh? Didn't hear you."
Osgood scowls.
"Son, you had better start paying attention to what's going on outside of your little world-"
"Osgood, honey, please don't."
His wife steps in between the two.
"Oh, my poor baby boy-"
"STOP CODDLING THE BOY, RACHEL!"
Hartley scowls and pulls away from his mom.
"I'll be fine."
"And we'd better hear that you're doing well here, son, we've invested a lot of money in-"
"Your "INVESTMENT" will be paid back, sir."
Hartley stands stock still as his mom hugs him one last time, and they head for their limousine outside.
"Paid back with interest."

*Peter sighed, taking a hard long look atb his new roommate, then he sighed.*
Well. We've got a couple of days before classes officially start. I think I'll spend them getting to know this place. Enjoy practicing for . . . whatever it is you do, Guy.
*Peter left the dorm and started having a look around the place, looking for places where he could web up a spare outfit, for if and when he needed to change.*

"Alone again, naturally."
Hartley looks at his dorm room, all of his stuff already unpacked for him and put away, making his roomie's side of the room look exceptionally bare. Hartley turns a picture of him with his parents around and throws the clown doll on the bed into the closet.
"Yeah. Won't be spending a lot of time in here."
Hartley heads out into the hallway to start exploring the campus.

*Peter is placing his third costume near a skylight in the gym. He makes sure that no one is looking before dropping to the ground, flipping twice along the way.*
*He leaves the gym, and looks around surreptiously. Then he spots Hartley and debates between hiding back, or going out.*
*He takes a deep breath and pushes the door open.*

**takes a deep breath and looks up at Mysia and pats her trunk affectionately**
Well girl, we might as well find the stable we were promised for your quarters before I find my own, eh?
**Achilles begins to trek across the campus, with the sightly elephant following closely at his side and drawing more than a few stares from the students, parents and staff alike**
**It was the elephant, right? I mean, they weren't staring at Achilles himself, were they? Why would they? He's a teenager, just like all the rest ... except that this teenager happens to be wearing full Greek armor and a loin cloth**
