Jumper had just left the library, and Diesel and Aqua. He had lost it in there and had went off on them both about Ember. He was so confused and frustrated, and like any unstable, unsocial, teenage boy. He vented his frustration on something. Unfortunately his venting was focused on Ember. Something in him was bugging him since she was chosen to be team Leader. The very next day at the practice she seemed so cold and anti-social. Like since she got the position, she was better then him and the team. Then he went to the lab to get checked up on and things went worse there. He made an ass out of himself with Cyclops, and in front of his new team Leader Rogue. Falling more into his own misery he felt ignored and pushed aside in there. This just added to his frustration more. He had no idea why but this only made his anger towards Ember grow because she was noticed enough to be chosen as Leader and he felt he was being ignored by Cyclops and Rogue. Over reacting in his own head. Then he had some issues with a couple of the other students. They seemed so crazy. And this led up to the Library with Heartstring asking about Ember, and then Diesel and Aqua asking about Ember. Something in him just snapped. He had no idea what or why but he blew his top on the two and then in his own embarrassment he ran from the room. There was nothing left for him to do. He had worn out his welcome, as he thought that he chuckled and shook his head. He didn't even feel welcome anymore.
So with his Dial still up he threw a backpack together. Some clothes and simple supplies, a folded paper with a cartoon dragon drawing on it. He didn't need this school. He didn't need anyone. He turned and looked out the window of his room and was waiting for something, a sign, whether to stay or go. He really didn't think he would find any answers staring out the window, but just as he was about to turn away, he saw a flash of bright light a little distance away. Tilting his head as he threw his bag over his shoulder. "That's as good as a sign as any." Smirking to himself as he used the flash of light as an excuse to leave the school. He turned for the door, and as he was still dialed up he sped off out of the school. Towards the flash of light.

'What the hell was that?' Freeze-Frame thought as he was coming out of his room and heading down for a snack. He didn't like the idea of not being welcomed and wanted to make his mark here. The feeling of something rushing past him sent his natural reaction to activate his power.
Casting out his hand he stopped whatever it wass just after it passed him. "Whoa nelly! What's up?" He said and froze the kid's backpack without too much effort showing on his face. It did give him a stab of a headache though, grabbing hold of the backpack that was going by at such fast speed. Sometimes that happened and sometimes he would get nose bleeds too. "Oh, dude- where are you off to in such a hurry?" He asked when he realized it was a young man running past.

Jumper wasn't used to being stopped when he was moving so fast. But out of nowhere his backpack stopped and snagged him. Jumper nearly fell flat on his back. Thankfully he was dialed up and his reflexes were heightened as well. Catching himself before he fell he stopped and spun around to see what had stopped him. He blinked a couple times not knowing who this was at all. "What did you do that for?" Pulling his backpack back and sliding it back on. "I was heading out to see what that flash of light was." Jumper wasn't telling a lie, he was going to see what the flash of light was, he just did not plan on coming back. "Who are you anyway? I haven't seen you before." He asked as he raised his brow. His face showing the cocky raised eyebrow. Not that it mattered much to him, since he was leaving.
Before he let the new guy answer he shifted in place and tried to peer out the window, then looked back to him." You mind if we walk and talk, I kinda wanna see what is going on out there."

"Oh, hey buddy no offense meant you know. It's just when crap goes flying by my face I tend to react to it, sorry guy." He shifted his own weight and slid his hands into his pockets.
"Naaahh. I didn't see nothin what was it you said? A light?" he sorta sucked on his lower lip a little and tried not to look at the kid like he was talking about a UFO. Maybe it was a bit patronising, but Chase was cool with all sorts.
"My name's Chase, you know the nick names they give here? Mine's Freeze-Frame, cause I stop stuff right in place." He looked the kid up and down. "What do they call you?"

Jumper looked from Chase to the window. He could still see the glowing light in the distance. Turning to face Chase as he introduced himself Jumper smirked a bit. "Freeze Frame huh? Interesting. They call me Jumper, because I jump around a lot. I move fast, real fast." Jumper motioned Chase to look out the window. "Do you see that light over there. It looks like something is glowing yellow or orange, it might be fire. I was going to go check it out, you wanna go? If so lets hurry up."
Jumper was really anxious to get out of the school before he ran into anyone that might try and stop him. And hoping that whatever was going on over in the distance would provide the perfect distraction for him to slip away unnoticed.

"Uh, because you 'jump'?" he asked the kid not sur ewhat he meant. "What, like super jump or what?" he was still tryin to figure out what he meant when he looked out the window where Jumper had pointed.
"Oh, that light! O.K. sure I'll go if you don't mind me hangin around you." Chase said. "Yo guy, call me Chase. I don't like the goofy nick name. Do you like yours?" He shut his dorm room door and decided to join the adventure. "Hey what's you name name, cause I don't wanna keep calling you 'guy' the rest of my life."

He shook his head as Chase asked about his name. "No, when I first came here they originally thought my power was teleporting. So I got the name Jumper because I jumped around a lot. But after an accident, the true nature of my power was revealed. I didn't teleport, I was just moving so fast. I guess they just haven't thought or cared to change my name." He shrugged as he said that, just one more thing that backed up his decision to leave this place. "But if you like, you can call my Kyle."
Turning towards the door as he heard Chase agree to come along he nodded. "Well lets hurry up then. Who knows what kind of trouble is going on out there. Maybe it's another attack!" He grinned at the thought. It would make his disappearance all the more easy.

"Kyle, huh. That's a cool name, you should stick with that one. Jumper sounds stupid if you forgive me for saying." Chase half grinned half sneered at him.
"So, sure Kyle lets go, but hey man I don't know if I can keep up. If you run so fast I can't even see you, there's no way! Even though I was the anchor on my relay team, it's no contest, you is one fast mutha." He winked "Yo I'm fast, but not 'kid lightning' fast, so you gonna go slow for me or what?" he asked as he started running for the front of the school and calling back over his shoulder.

Jumper smirked as Chase made the comment about his given name "Well it fit at the time I got it, but not so much now huh?" Jumper watched as Chase took off running and talking. He knew chase would not be able to keep up. Jumper took off after him. He was dialed up already. He wondered if chase would say anything about the implants tat were scattered along his body.
"I'll do my best to keep pace with you. It might be quicker if we head out through the front entrance. The gate was already destroyed in the attack so there is nothing to slow us down there." He called out as they raced through the school towards the doors outside.

Kid lightning was talking extra fast, and it sounded kinda funny, laughing a little Chase said "Yeah, what you said. Front gate! Good call Kyle. Hey you always talk like that?"
He ran fast as he could trying to keep his pace at a rate that would last to the extension of the fire like glow he had seen out the window. It was a distance away, but Chase was in great shape and was a fast runner and a great athlete.
"You sound kinda like a chipmunk, how's that work on the ladies?" he laughed as he ran which he had to be careful of for fear of going into oxygen debt. It would take a lot to have that happen because his cardio was in phenominal shape.
((should we go into the "Cleaning Up" thread?))

Jumper laughed and shook his head. That was an odd question. "No only when I am "Dialed up" for speed. Everything seems to go a lot faster for me. As for the ladies, they love me, they just seem to be a bit confused and emotional around this school." He shrugged again and stopped to let Chase catch up.
Turning and going the final distance to the entrance he grinned. He was almost outside. And the light outside seemed like it was bright enough to get a lot of attention. So hopefully they wouldn't being paying any attention to Jumper.
((Yea, Ill meet you there. I'll follow your post there))
