Terri stood tapping her foot as she examined the board for the Danger Room. So many buttons...for what? To torture the kids? It was described to her as a room that helped the students train and hone their powers. She sent a curious yet doubtful glance into the huge empty room. She touched the panel to open the door, knowing that it was already set up for her to get everywhere she pleased in the school. She heard her footsteps echo against the walls as her heels clicked against the floor. She looked up, her black hair swinging across her back as her silver eyes searched the ceiling and walls for any signs of the holographic projectors. And how in the world did these things become a physical threat? If it was supposed to just be for practise how did they become so exposed to harm? She thought about this long and hard, wondering when the next class would be for the students. She would like to observe how this works, and how much danger the students were in when they entered the room, and if they could handle it. Mr. Railen was the person to see about this. He used the room the most of all of the teachers.. She became lost in thought as she stood alone in the empty room.

Crest walked in the Danger Room with a soda, hoping to operate some of it himself. He had worked in soem of the business Seaheart had. He could operate some holographic machinery! He hoped so anyways.....He then looked at the girl who stood in the room. He had been halfway through drinking when he took steps back outside the door, then let a spray hit the wall from his mouth. Wow! She was...hot! He shook his head. And she also seemed to be messing with machinery...a bit of a rebel? Very nice...he entered the room soda thrown away, walking up to the machinery. "Uh..hey there! You seem to be having trouble there with that Danger Room generator. Want me to help you with that?" He said walking up to it, looking at the buttons, figuring it out. "By the way, my name is Crest. And who might a beautiful woman like you be?" He said smiling, still looking over the machinery. Dammit...with that beautiful woman comment on first meet, she'd think he was desperate. Ah well.

Terri just turned her head distractedly. "Hmm? Oh, yes..I cant seem to get it to work properly.." She muttered, a slim finger tapping her chin. " I was wanting to see exactly how it worked. If I could get into the general dynamics of it..figure out what makes the illusions become solid..the threats become real..I have heard that this place isnt just used for battle? A..ball was held here right? Who held it?" She asked him before it registered that he had called her beautiful. She turned then, confronting him. "What?Me? Huh?" She asked confused. Her powers automatically went into his head, as they sometimes did during times of stress or confusion. She saw what he thought of her and faught back a blush. " I am the new principal. My name is Terri. I take it you are one of the students?" She asked watching him mess with the control panel.

He knew there had been a ball here. And he hadn't gone. He didn't have a date. If his friends saw him, Crest, the ladies man without a date, they'd never let him live it down. He shook his head, thinkign of how illusions could become solid....wait. That was it.
"Well, that's simple. They're illusions. Something that makes the mind play tricks. They're not holographs. The mind probably thinks whatever it is seeing is real, making the person see what they want to see. Almost like...mind control. Dr.Ralin tells them what they're gonna be seeing, they brace themselves for wahtever thy're about to see, then perhaps some illusion machine looks into their minds or whatever, then compiles all their information, turning it into the general idea in their head. Then, just makes the illusion. That OR people are just crazy. See? Just because I don't go to class doesn't mean I'm not smart. I've picked up a few things." He said still smiling, using the controls.
"OK....LEt's try an...ocean terrain." He said hitting the go button. Immediately, an ocean turned up in the next room. "Simply enough PRINCIPAL Terri." He said using the name sarcastically. Yeah right? Like this girl was principal? When......Seaheart laughed at one of his jokes, he would believe that.
"Now, I'm gonna prove to you, they're just illusions. If they're real, this room would flood, and we'd all die. I'm willing to take that chance for ya. Now watch. And besides, they're just holographs either way, aye?" He said opening the door, walking into the ocean, restrained by the machine that kept it alive in the room. He could breathe in here. It was fake after all, right? "Come in in Terri! The water's fine!" He said laughing, watching fish go by.

Terri raised a single sculpted eyebrow at the overexaggeration of her name. She just nodded, okay, he didnt believe she was the principal. Oh, well. She smiled at his antics. She debated on telling him that she wasnt lying..but shrugged. Might as well have some fun while she was here. She merely walked into the illusion, laughing as a fish zipped by her face in a silver flash, the color reflected nicely off of her eyes. She breathed in deeply, amazed that she could when it looked like she was truly under water. She leaned back, looking up. Amazingly, it looked like the sun was shining brightly and refracting off of the surface of the nonexistance water. She smiled. "This is...amazing." She said laughing happily. "I knew it would be a good idea to come to this school.." She nodded. "I think I will be spending a lot of time here.." She whispered, watching the sea-life live on as if they had been there their whole lives, instead of just for a few minutes. "Well.." She said, "You never gave me your name? Who might you be exactly? Instead of my..second helper of the day?" She asked, suddenly remembering the sharklike man that had helped fix her car.

"Oh. My name is Crest. I already said it but then again, you sort of zoned out after the beautiful comment-which I still am keeping- so yeah...Crest. I control fire, so yeah, my looks and clothes aren't the only things that are hot, but it's not always looks that make a man, but I think they help you know? I also got my own two little helpers that aren't exactly part of my powers.....so if anyone holds down my powers, they won't be able to oppress my two...pets." He said with a sly smile on his face. He looked up at the fake beating sun that gave light to this aquatic paradise. Yeah....he could live here if he wanted. But life never stayed good long enough. Still, he remained happy even in those times, unlike Seaheart...but that was him. He shook his head, then looked at her again and sad "Oh, and nice joke back there. Principal and all." He said with a laugh. He then thought. Now better than ever to try. "So anyway, I was just wondering...may I accompany you to dinner tonight? Unless of course, you've made plans with your first helper of the day?" He said looking at her with a sort of sarcastic smile.

Terri merely smiled at the boy. "Yeah..that is what that was..A joke.." She said shaking her head. Why was it so unbelievable? She looked down at herself. Okay..so she wasnt dressed like one, but she had the demeanor of one didnt she? She smiled again, an idea formed in her head that made so much sense to her. She thought about the janitor. "Oh, no..not him.."She said shaking her head. "Maybe supper wouldnt be so bad?" She said teasing. "All I ask is that you come get me? At my office..around.. eightish?" She said running a hand down her skirt to smooth it out. She had made sure to take a shower and change after being under her car for so long. Grease on her wasnt pretty..made her look bruised and beaten. "Sorry that I zoned out, sometimes I do that in my own defense." She tapped her head and grinned. "Mind reader..Cant help it.." She said with a shrug as she turned around. "This is like a dream.." She said, trying to get off the subject of her power so she didnt have to tell him the other half of it. It scared most men away once they heard that she could control others actions by purely forcing them to think it was of their own free will. Sometimes her power scared her, and she only used it if she absolutely had to. She never used it for personal gain. Some people just didnt believe that.. "Yes..Eight..My office..In the school building..just go to the office and ask for Terri..Everyone there knows exactly who I am." She said turning back to him. "And if you had gone to class..I wouldnt doubt you would have known as well..Classes arent just for general education, my dear Crest..they carry quite an embarrassing amount of gossip as well."

He wanted to laugh. Like he didn't know about gossip. And the office...she must have been really popular with those looks! "So mind reader....nice. I'll say, that's a power I'd like to have. Plus mind control. That could help in alot of situations. Oh, since I know you'll meet him sometime or later, when you see Seaheart, I really would not try to read his mind. I'm telling you for your own safety. He has long blue hair and...well...trust me, he's not that hard to recognize." He said with a sort of dry laugh. "And sure. I'll pick you up at eight." But now he needed a ride...he heard old Seafart had a motorcylcle....he had to remember to try to get it. "Er....where should we go?" He asked her, making sure she chose so he wouldn't screw up. He wasn't nervous. But to him, asking on the first date where to go was a rule.

Terri shrugged. "I doubt you would like it..trust me, there are things that are meant to be kept secret.." She said shuddering. She tapped her chin, an old habit of hers, as she thought about it. "Hmm..Just a simple burger joint would be nice..I could just die for a killer juicy burger.." She said truthfully, suddenly that was all she wanted. " Steak and Shake has some nice burgers...But I dont think they are around here are they?.." She trailed off. She looked around. "Alright..I cant think with fish zipping by my head.." She said turning around to get out of the danger room. "And what about this..Seaheart?" She asked curiously. She stepped up to the control panel, slowly reading the section of Crest's mind that knew how to operate the machine. Her fingers tapped the buttons quickly, shutting off the rooms power. It turned dark and almost utterly black. "I will have to have a discussion with Railen about this place." She said nodding. She began to walk down the hallway, her skirt swinging loosely around her knees. Her heels clicked and echoed in the empty halls, just as much as before. She thought about the lack of students in this place. She shook her head. " So Crest.. Just a mere burger and fries would be good for me. I am not picky."

Nashino stormed around the corner of the hall, a visible red tint to his face, despite his silvery flowing tresses. The rims of his eyes became blurry. His fist were balled up as though he were going to punch something any second now. His crystaline gaze fell upon a woman. Well, she was new to the school, but he knew she was the principal. How could he not? All of the teachers had been announcing it, even placing a picture of her in the office.
She was coming this way...Good. He didn't want to do this, not now anyway, for there was another student standing there, who would obviously be listening in, but right now, Nashino could careless if the whole school had been listening! His sister had been kidnapped!
"Ms. Terri! I need to talk to you," He stopped infront of her. "My sister was kidnapped! And no, it's not just her! Several people that belong to this school!! About four or five including my sister!," His voice shook a little, for that was the first time he'd said that aloud, which meant it was true, "I wasn't going to say anything to anyone when a little twelve year old comes to me telling me about her brother getting kidnapped, I was going to work it out myself, but now," He shook his head, "Now they've messed with my sister, and that just doesnt fly with me. It's starting to get more frequent, and it's only gifteds being kidnapped. If you're not going to do something, I will, and trust me, I will"

Terri frowned at the boy, her face turning serious as he went on. His voice seemed to waver, his tough exterior breaking from emotion. She nodded once. "Alright.." She turned back to Crest. " I am truely sorry..but this matter is much more pressing." She said as she turned back to Nashino. "Alright..come on honey..Lets figure this out and find your sister." She said walking past him, heading to the office. She didnt look back but motioned for him to follow. There was a phone hooked to the wall. She picked up the reciever and dialed three numbers. This allowed the phone to become a speaker for the entire school. Her words were heard all over the school, in every room, and outside by speakers attached to the outside walls.
ALL PERSONNEL REPORT TO PRINCIPAL TERRI'S OFFICE..I REPEAT, ALL PERSONNEL REPORT TO MY OFFICE, IMMEDIATELY.
She set the receiver back on the wall and once more motioned to Nashino. "Come on then."

His features tightened, hands balled into fists, all joys of getting a date with this woman disappearing. Kidnapped gifteds? Government? He chuckled darkly. So that's what those people had been doiing with Seaheart this morning. He went up to the Principal and said "Don't address anyone as honey in this situation. This is...." He lingered, remembering how many times he had been brought up in it. But he had been brought up in the small and quiet wars,which were always worse. He had learned to let many, many things go by.
When Ven over reacted to how he flirted around his girlfriend, tackled him, and screamed, all he did was laugh. Around Seaheart's dark attitude, he let it all go. But when the government messed with his friends, he became a little serious. He gave Terri a sly smile and said "Warn the students. This is gossip, and you know better than anyone that gossip spreads like wildfire. Warn them now, or I will." He said half jokingly, half kind of evilly.
He looked at Nashino right in the eye and said "Don't worry man. I got alot of connections. And if worse comes to worse, I'll get captured, and go in there and save your sister myself. Hero or not, I may just find it amusing to kick government ass."

Terri glanced over at Crest quickly. "Crest, do not tell me what to call anyone, and it may or may not be a rumor, that is what I intend to find out." She said quietly. "Something I didnt tell you about my power.. And I still wont, is what will resolve this situation, whether it be by action, or by defusing the rumor. And if it is a rumor, why are you volunteering to be 'captured'?" She raised an eyebrow at him. "I had only meant to make a rain check on the date..but you dont know who you are talking to do you?" She stood up straight, all that made her easygoing and fun leaving in an instant. Her entire demeanor changed. She stood in front of him, not as Terri, but as the Principal Of Cassis High. "I will speak to you later, but for now, you are not involved." She turned on a heel, walking down the hallway at a brisk pace. "Come on now boy, we have work to do."

Nashino was glad to see her imidiate response to what he had just told her. It was serious, and this Crest boy wasn't taking it as serious as he should have been. Nashino watched as the prinicpal picked up the phone, alerting all of the teachers, et cetera et cetera.Good, something was finally going to be done. Nashino's crystaline gaze fell upon Crest. already, he didn't like this guy's persona. One who thought he was a bad ass, and could beat anything that came his way. His gaze was cold Crest, "Dude. We don't even know ifit is the government or not, but if so, This is the FREAKING GOVERNMENT. They'll have your ass in thier hands, tied up, before you can blink. Drop the bad-boy persona, it only gets you into deep sh*t" His eyes rolled, landing on Terri who was walking away, and as she had said, he followed.

He wanted to laugh. Government his white ass. This dude was almost pathetic. He grabbed him by his shoulder, halting him "Listen, if you think telling a teacher that the mean, wittle old government took your sister is gonna save her, your dead wrong. Where's your gifted pride? Are you proud to be gifted? I don't care if your not, but you're here, because your special, and if you didn't give a shit that your powers made no difference to you, you wouldn't be here. You wanted to make sure that your powers benfited this world. If not, your looking for a home, and you could have gone to a regular school. Yet you still chose a gifted school, because it's who you are. So you enjoy being a gifted, or at least accept that you are one. But once people start making a mockery of your kind, you back down. They took your sister. Isn't that enough for you to want to go and kick their ass? And that they're taking other gifteds?" He said seriously, a little bit taunting at the wittle old government part. People like this guy were the people that could piss him off. Not standing for what was theirs. Proud to be a gifted, but scared at the challenge of showing it.
