Erol rolled his eyes for the umpteenth time that morning, slipping away from the adults to chill near a tree. He scanned his surroundings silently not really into the whole meet n' greet that was going on.
He noted one girl who seemed to be feeling the same way, and was compelled to go converse with her but if she was feeling like him, she'd probably wouldn't want to talk to anyone. He smirked slightly looking her way before turning his attention to yet another girl.
She had brightly colored purple hair, it almost made his eyes bleed but he managed. She was interesting enough but her company was occupied by another who seemed to already know her. Erol snorted looking at the boy with her and frowned. There was a bee fluttering about him like a pest. Shrugging, Erol's gaze scanned more as he noted more kids and their guardians.
Deciding to ignore his last thought he walked over to a tree near the girl with the attitude (Megan), and leaned against it hands in his pocket a cool expression on his face. "Yo!" He called, with a salute as was his manners, Akila would have his head for at least not saying hello.
***
Which Akila right now was watching Erol in his observations before heading over to Megan. She didn't want to cramp his style 'whatever that was' but stayed within distance in case things got out of control.
Learning that the kids would be in a session excited her as she wanted to see what Erol's training would produce and possibily get a better understanding of how he'd work in a group. She walked near Charles, Thomas and Susan wanting to entroduce herself.

Raleigh had already noticed the arrival of the others, and was puzzling over the girl. Wasn't that? Yes it was! He tugged at Ruriska's arm franticly but was ignored until he just gave up and walked a few metres away in a huff.
"Hey, you can't blame me for being persistent. Besides, you love being annoyed, I can tell."
She laughed lightly before seeing his gaze darkening and with her brow furrowing she turned to follow his gaze. Seeing the two people entering the safe haven her jaw dropped. This had to be a joke. That woman was a guardian? Ruri shook her head to clear her thoughts. Well she hadn't exactly been the best choice to bring up a kid. But... Charles had sure picked some weird people.
Crossing her arms over her chest Ruri turned slightly to listen to the two supers. That Thomas wasn't bad looking and Susan didn't look like a super at all.
Raleigh had moved closer to Ruriska again, not at all happy about being there. "Do I have to train with all of them?" He asked her, crossing his arms across his chest in much the same way Ruri had.
"Yeah..."
"Hmph. I'll be better than all of them."
Ruriska laughed. "Of course you will Raleigh."

Malcolm babbled on excitedly. "Kinda, I've only really tried once. But look at Dion!" He pointed a finger at the wasp flying nearyby. "He's my sidekick!" Elaine rolled her eyes a little bit. She was standing close enough to hear what was being said, but didn't want to interrupt the two. At least the bee kept to itself, she didn't mind it following Malcolm around as long as it didn't sting anyone.
She walked over to Elvira, who she had met when she picked up Malcolm. "Hey there, nice to see you again. How's Rachel doing? Or, rather, how are you doing?" she asked, laughing a bit at her last question.
Rachel jumped up and down. That's so cool! A sidekick! I don't have any, but I can stuff on my own! If I concentrate really really reeeeeeally hard I can see everything in light instead of people and Elvira calls that energy. That sounds like really cool! Oh, oh, and Elvira is pretty nice, she does weird things like letting me eat icecream after bedtime." she grinned. "Is your guardian okay too?" She could still remember that day they were picked up by their guardians.
Elvira looked up to Elaine and chuckled. "Hey there, same to you, although we didn't really get a chance to properly speak with each other. We were in and out of there so fast..." she chuckled, savouring the thought.
"The training thing is hard and the raising a kid thing is possibly even harder, but we manage. How's Malcolm doing?"
Her face darkened for a moment. "Hey, did you happen to see that news broadcast with Solarduct and stuff?" she shot a quick look in Charles' direction, but he was currently engaged in conversation with Susan and laughing about something. Her voice lowered to a whisper, "he looked pretty burnt out then, didn't he?"

"She's all right, a lot better than my real mom. She never let me do anything! But Lonny likes the bugs, so that's cool." Malcolm hadn't really noticed the other children around yet...he had made a beeline towards Rachel when he came in. (No pun intended xD.) "Hey...wanna go meet the other kids?" he asked her.
"Malcolm's doing great, he's had one training session so far. He hasn't really learned to calm down the number of bugs in the house yet, though...we're working on that." She laughed, thinking of Malcolm's room, the floor crawling with all sorts of things. "I don't mind so much as long as they don't come in my room or the kitchen."
She thought for a moment on the news broadcast...remembering when Malcolm had come flying down from his room to tell her about it. "Yeah...that was insane. That poor guy..." she stole a glance at Charles, who still looked basically the same as he had the week before. "I don't think anyone could ever do that job as well as he could."

He called, with a salute as was his manners, Akila would have his head for at least not saying hello.Megan had genuinely been busy trying to look as invisible as possible--indeed, it was probably lucky that no one in the room who might have a similar-type power was anywhere near the little mimic--and when she heard Erol's voice so close ducked away and then acted like she was picking up something off the ground to cover herself. She couldn't look scared to some boy! She looked Erol over, and almost looked like she was going to be friendly back, but suddenly remembered herself and scowled instead, "What?" she managed to make the word sound bold and annoyed and like a challenge all at the same time. "Megan!" "WHAT?" AriyaLauna simply gave Megan a look, but Megan missed it. She'd only hazarded a look up at her guardian for a second, looking back at the boy in front of her.

Erol snorted at the girl, figuring she'd act like that. Hell he would have done the same if given the chance. He hid his amusement well leaning against the tree uninterested as ever. He took in the girls features more for curiosity wanting to know what kinds of abilities she had...it was obvious they were all brought here under the condition that they had some super abilities.
Sitting down on the ground, he thought of ways to annoy the girl, perhaps tease her to no end. So he began by simply staring at her just staring... he would continue to do so until she acknowledged his presences...properly. He smiled inwardly but his face was void of any amusement.
Akila however, turned to keep tabs on Erol and found him already making trouble. She knew that placid look, he was planning something. For now she wouldn't bother him but if he started something...she smiled. Well at least he's attempting to make friends. Now it all depends on the girl, this should be rather interesting. It was too bad that Akila was young for her mindset was still a bit on the childish side, so discipline wasn't always a factor in dealing with Erol.

Lorina suddenly decided she would go do something, drag everyones attention to her, seeing as no one cared about her. She walked to the center of the area, grabbed a rock, before rushing back to Airaka.
"Everyone here has super powers right?"
Airaka nodded her head, blinking at the rock in the girls hand.
"Ya, thats right. That's why everyones here..."
"Well, if I threw this at someone, we could see what powers they had."
Airaka's eyes widened, and she moved to grab the rock, hand brushing against Lorina's.
"Lorina, please. What if all that happens is the person gets hit in the head." Airaka hissed.
With all her luck, everyone would be staring at the two of them. Airaka's face brightened red as she tried once again to grab the rock.
"But why not? Are you embarressed by me?"
Airaka shook her head, and finally managed to grab the girls wrist.
"I could never be embarressed by you, Lorina. Your top sweet. Now promise to drop the rock?"
Lorina nodded her head mutely, and Airaka dropped her grip on the girls arm.
"HY YA!" Lorina called as she threw the rock, her eyes squeezed shut.
|| Left that open. I want to see who wants to have their child get hit in the head with a rock. ^.^ ||

((*laugh, resists having Megan get hit in the head by a rock*... She's probably not in the right position to where Lorina is standing to be a target, unfortunately.))
Megan gave Erol a dirty look, and tried to turn away as if, no, she really didn't care that he was staring at her. She half-reached a hand up to grab Ariya's, but quickly tugged down, and instead made a semi-circle around so that she was kind-of in front of AriyaLauna so she wouldn't have to look at him.
AriyaLauna, finding the whole interaction simutaneously amusing and sad, patted Megan on the head and walked off to go near what she assumed to be the boy's guardian. She gave a friendly smile to the woman, but stopped somewhere inbetween her and Megan. If she had guessed wrong, she'd want to be able to fly in and stop a fight.
Megan stood stock-still as AriyaLauna moved off, it was lucky her back was to Erol. It would have been way too embarressing if he'd seen that look of horror and near-fear on Megan's face, but pride kept her exactly where she was. She wasn't a scaredy-cat, and she wouldn't act like it! Taking a brave breath, Megan half-turned around, slowly, until she was looking at Erol again, "Stoppit!"
This boy wasn't just a freak with super powers, but he was a freak all around! What if he... "Miss Ariya! What if he's got see-through-clothes-abilities?"
AriyaLauna tried not to, she really did, but the only response Megan got was giggling, and lots of it.
Megan self-consciously folded her hands over herself and kept her side-ways stance as she turned back to glare at Erol, "Leavemealone."

((Just think of who would have the most fun reaction. xD I think Malcolm might react funny, with tons of bugs and stuff. xD ))
Rachel looked at Malcolm. "That's so cool! I like bugs too, they are so small it's really funny."
At Malcolm's words, she turned around to view the others. Being the first to arrive and Malcolm being the second, her attention hadn't been anywhere else. So for the first time she took a look around her. "There sure are lots of kids here. Do you think those adult people can do Super stuff too?" She surveyed the courtyard, gazing moving over everyone.
"I don't know, I guess. With who should we talk?"
Elvira chuckled as Elaine described the state of their house. "Oh, I'm so glad Rachel doesn't have anything like that. She did cause a bit of trouble the other day, but luckily Charles sorted everything out in time. Otherwise Solarduct would have been on our tail immediatly." She rolled her eyes about the stupidity of the whole situation.
"So, what do you think of those Supers? Isn't that Susan a bit too young to be a full time Super? Wait.." she frowned, "...you don't think they will expect the kids to be fighting at that age, right?"

(( LOL! I volunteer the poor kid >3 ))
Malcolm tried to pick out the kid that seemed less involved in anything. He spotted a young blonde-haired girl who was arguing with her guardian. Feeling bad that she had no one to talk to, he started walking towards her. "Come on, let's go over there. I think we need to rescue her." He laughed, tugging on Rachel's arm.
Elaine looked over her shoulder at Susan. "She does seem a bit young...but if she can get the job done, then why not? I mean...if Malcolm is ready at that age...I don't see the need to hold him back." She looked over towards Malcolm, who was heading in a different direction, towards another girl who was by herself.
Then, at the moment Malcolm turned back around, a large, hard object whammed into the center of his forehead and he fell to his knees, letting out a loud muffle that could be interpreted as 'ow.' A round lump began to form on his head, and he rubbed it tenderly, thinking to himself 'what the hell was that for?'
It was random things like these that made him pissed off. Sure, he tried to control it, but it was almost as though he couldn't; it was beyond his power. Dion flew in angry circles over his head, stinger out and ready to get the culprit. Malcolm whispered a faint no to the wasp...he didn't want anybody getting hurt.

[Erol would cause more harm then good he's got a temper about things like that so no go for me.. but it would be funny. 4laugh ]
Erol smirked slightly noting how the girl continued to flicker about her caretaker. It was so amusing, perhaps cute in a way and he enjoyed every minute of it as she gradually turned away ever so often. When she wasn't looking he'd turn around the gaze at her and her guardian. He wasn't within earshot of them so he didn't know what she was saying, and when she moved to hide from him, he simply slide over to another tree nearby to get a better view. It was easy to irritate her and so long as his amusement remained he probably wouldn't stop...unless he got bored.
Although he had to admit a sudden whinning coming from not too far allowed a moment of his time to venture from Megan to Lorina. She was screaming about something, too far to get the message he simply watched her with a scowl on his face then he noticed the rock. Shrugging he turned back to Megan just in time to catch her eye where he winked; cool and calm he rest his hands behind his head leaning against the tree bark as he let his legs cross over one another. She was his source of entertainment.
Akila turned to find Erol still at it, this time she found the girl and her guardain making their way toward her. "Here we go..." she muttered, Erol was being nice right now which wasn't always a factor with him. But then again, she caught a glimpse of his coniving smile, which meant meaner things to come.
For now she would wait to see what the guardian had to say but in the end, Erol would have to chill with his antics, they were starting to annoy even her. "Hello." Akila said to Ariya, "My names Akila Zesiro." Tossing her thumb in the direction of Erol, "And that would be me little slugger, Erol." She introduced with a energetic smile.

((*Laugh* Oh, Megan screams everything she says, or usually does anyway. Ah, well. We can assume she's still being meek. ^-^ *watches the rock flying with amusement*))
Megan bristled as she saw the stone being launched, and took a peek at AriyaLauna. Oh, good. She was being occupied by the other adult. Perfect. She made sure to take a quick note of who was hit, privately already choosing sides. Megan had a certain fight-radar, and always liked to get in the middle of them if it came to that.
But for now nothing was REALLY going on and this little boy was beginning to annoy her to no end. Megan took several side-steps toward Erol and his friend tree (being sure never to face forward to him), and was sure to stay several arm-lengths out of the way anyhow. If she wasn't TOO close, he couldn't see her too clearly or throw blasts at her, could he?
"Are you retarded or som'thin?" she demanded, "Why ain'tcha talking back?" Apparently habits and curiousity got the better of trying not to provoke the other powered kid.
AriyaLauna gave Akila a pleasent grin, and a nod of the head, "I'm AriyaLauna Deidre, and the she's Megan," she half-turned to indicate the girl, and turned in time to see her side-stepping toward Erol. She giggled again, "It shouldn't be so funny that she's frightened, but she's usually so bold about people." she sighed, a serious edge coming to her voice, "I'm sure anywhere else she would have already have gotten him talking to her. Is he shy? Megan thinks he's got some kind of x-ray vision and is trying to look through her clothes," the smile returned to AriyaLauna's eyes then, and she made a movement with imaginary glasses much like Superman made when he looked through buildings and the like with his vision.

Akila chuckled, "You can rest easy, he has no such powers like that. More or less his powers are emotional so as long as she doesn't get under his skin he's about as docile as they come. He's just interested is all...funny cause he really was apposed to coming here in the first place. I'm just glad he's doing something." Akila laughed noting Erol was actually getting into it. Megan had really been an interest. "Don't worry if he starts acting out I'll crash his party." She only need to give him a specific look and he would hold his ground instantly.
Erol smiled this time after getting Megan worked up enough to come speak to him. He had his eyes closed pretending to be uninterested, after noting her coming near he wanted to be as standoffish as possible. When he finally acknowledged her presence he opened is eyes a wicked smile playing. "I only talk when there's something important to say." Which was a complete lie, he always had something to say and was more talkative at home then anywhere else he simply mimicked the Akila's personality when in public while she seemed to take on his from home. It was strange. Standing to his feet he dusted off his pants and adjusted his black bicker gloves Akila had bought him.
Walking toward Megan, casually and with purpose he leaned into her to look her in the face. "Hmmm?" He seemed to grunt, examining her while the whole time he really didn't find anything of interest he was on the second level of the 'Annoy Megan' game. "Your face is fat." He stated simply, noting how her cheeks seemed to puff in this state. Was she mad at him? He smiled, "Name's Erol..." he said coolly then stepped back with hands in pocket. He took a quick glance to Akila for approval and noticed she was in conversation. Good. I can still mess with her. So he did, titling his head to the side he returned to stage one. Staring.

Ruriska retreated to the nearest bench, where she then sat with her legs crossed and her arms spread out along the top of her seat. With her head bent up towards the sun, dark sunglasses glimmering with the light, she was happy to stay there all day. Screw her earlier plans, and screw socializing. The best thing to do in a day was relax and stare at the sky, soak in the sun. Sighing with contentment Ruri moved into her own little world.
A disgruntled Raleigh, left with a zoned out guardian and a growing dislike of the entire situation, proceeded to kneel down and rip grass out of the earth. A rather destructive past time but he had no desire to approach any of the other kids. Who knows what they'd do. Plus, they wouldn't like him anyway. No one liked him except Ruri, and she had to like him, she was his mom.
It was kind of interesting how Raleigh had instantly accepting Ruriska as his mother. But there it was, both realized it yet didn't see any reason to comment. It's not as if knowing that made them like each other any more. Raleigh still had a fair amount of distrust for his mentor and made a point to annoy her as much as possible.
The dieing grass tingled beneath his grass. Soon it would be at the point when he could mould it into whatever he wanted. Lifting his head Raleigh searched for other dead matter. Twigs and leaves lying beneath the trees, bird feathers, and the wooden benches scattered here and here. All of it was usable. For a second the boy grinned.

Rachel let out a shocked cry. "Malcolm! Are you ok? What was that?" She backed away when saw Dion was starting to buzz angrily, and eyed his stinger warily. As she did so, she spotted a rock on the ground and picked it up. "Hey! I think it was this rock that hit your head. But rocks don't fly by themselves..." she threw a suspicious look at a blonde girl standing a bit ahead.
As she extended a hand to Malcolm to help him up, something on the other side of the courtyard caught her attention and she frowned. There was a boy there. And he was plucking out grass. Rachel hesitated for a moment, but then left Malcolm for what he was and marched over to the boy.
She stood there, hands on her hips, an angry expression on her face. "Hey! Stop that!"
