Dr. McCoy observed the project closely and with interest, chuckling to himself at the pictures. "Well, one can't say that this is a project with little effort put forth," he said when the boys finished their presentation. A part of the egg had just missed Beast and he was glad, for that's a terrible substance to get out of his fur. He looked through the recorded data on their poster and was rather impressed by the work of the two young men. "A very well put together project, and a throughly interesting hypothesis! Though it is premature to give you an estimate on the standing in this contest, I can certainly say that you will receive excellent grade for this."
Hank looked over at Bobby and gave him a cheeky grin. Bobby always brought out the more playful side in Beast. "And Bobby, I do remind you that I am the one who makes the grade, you just help me judge the winner," he said waving his pen at him and writing his notes on the project next to their names. "Very well done Mr. Larks and Mr. Croft. Here is your grade," Hank said with a smile and handed them a piece of paper with a big 'A' on it. On it was the points they earned on each aspect of their presentation.
"Alright moving on. Thank you again boys," he said with a big smile at the two boys and then moved with the other teachers in front of Ember and Stoney's work station. "Ah Ms. Whelan, Mr. Williams. I have been very intrigued when I saw the outline of your project," he said with a beaming smile. It was not unusual that Aideen was one of his top students. That girl was as conditioned with her schoolwork as she was with her training, and had a brilliant mind. Stoney even impressed Hank since he started working with Aideen. She seemed to be able to explain to him concepts that he used to have a good deal of trouble grasping.
"Everyone, I will caution you again that there is to be know rough housing or goofing off during their presentation. And please do not crowd the table if you wish to observe. For your safety as well as theirs, please remain behind us at all times," Hank warned again knowing that people would need to be reminded several times. He sent a look directly at Rumble with a warning gaze. "Please proceed Ms. Whelan and Mr. Williams," he said with interest looking at how carefully Ember handled the chemicals and their poster board with their data.

Chester looked over at Aideen and smiled slightly at all the hard work they had put into their project. He himself didn't even believe what they had come to find out through their experimentations and how surprising the results were from the simple hypothesis they had started with. He rubbed his hands together before he slipped on his gloves and safety goggles. He went over to the humongously heavy asbestos mat and bent at the knees to prevent any injury. He always maintained perfect form in the gym and so here in the lab lifting something heavy was no exception.
Lifting it and unrolling it across the tabletop, the seams in his too small lab coat pulling at the shoulders and ripping ever so slightly as his muscles strained under them. Careful to lay it out as securely and squarely as he could, he knew how Ember had stressed the details to him, and even though he felt the eyes of Rumble upon him he didn't care. He liked how the girl was with him. They had a great respect for one another. It was shown as they had spent countless hours together with Chopper and sometimes alone as well. The two of them didn't like to talk much and they seemed to have that in common, so when they wanted to be by themselves but not completely alone they would somehow find one another. It was a pleasant arrangement and neither one ever spoke about it, ever.
Not that they never spoke, but it was never about anything. A word here or there was passed in greeting or humor, but they never got into each other's business and Chesty liked that just fine. He was pretty sure Aideen did too. She did speak when it came to things of importance, as did he with regard especially in doing this project. He was excited to see it performed in front of everyone. Prepping the table and carefully placing the components of zinc dust, ammonium nitrate, ammonium chloride and water in their proper places as Ember had instructed in their 'dry runs'. He stepped to the side and nodded to Ember, getting ready to grab up and loosen the valve on the oxygen tank at her signal for the second phase of their experiment. He was proud of what they were about to show and he felt himself blush slightly.

Aideen stopped sneaking glances at Logan throughout all of Diesel and StormHawk's presentation when Dr. McCoy came over to them. She pushed back a stray hair behind her ear and got right to work. "Different chemical components when mixed together can make the seemingly impossible occur, for instance the ability to start a fire with water," she said and measured out the zinc dust and ammonium nitrate in the mixing bowl with her protective gloves. "I'm mixing zinc dust and ammonium nitrate together and then adding just a pinch of ammonium chloride, three components that are relatively harmless separate and in their current state are also currently harmless," Aideen explained and very carefully poured the mixture on the mat. She shaped it precisely with her hands into a neat circle. Using her thumb, she carefully pressed a small depression in the center of the mixture.
"The one substance that combines these ingredients to a hazardous level is H2O, or water," Aideen continued as she walked over to the window to open it so poisonous gas wouldn't stay in the room when the zinc oxide was activated. She put on her little face mouth mask and motioned for Stoney to do the same. "Water activates all these substances, liberating the ammonia, hydrochloric acid, water vapor, and nitrous oxide. The Oxygen from the nitrous oxide ignites violently with the zinc forming the white zinc oxide. With the zinc ionized, it creates an abundant amount of heat. That speeds up the reaction of the ammonium nitrate, which in turn causes the Zinc to burn in the air," she explained while handing out face masks to Dr. McCoy and the other teachers. She smiled behind the mask when she glanced at Logan as she handed him the mask, grateful for her own at the moment and the fact that the glasses hid her dark sparkling eyes from everyone.
"Though zinc oxide itself is not toxic, the fumes are. Anyone too close should step back," Aideen cautioned and picked up the water dropper. When everyone was a safe distance with their face masks on, she carefully squeezed the water into the depression and stepped back. Almost instantly, there were a small spark in the powdery mixture. Anyone close enough felt the heat form and then the spark ignited to a large blazing hot flame. The flame was stark white, whiter than any kind of flame Aideen was ever able to produce. Just like that in front of everyone, a fire was started with water.
Aideen looked over at Stoney to signal him to get ready. "Any kind of fire is attracted to oxygen, but chemical fires have a different reaction to oxygen than a fire that I would produce would. Stoney," she said nodding to him and watched him unscrew the handle to the oxygen canister as easily as it if were the top of a jar of peanut butter and out from the hose came a stream of oxygen. When Stoney sprayed it on the fire, the dancing flame slowed and the stark white color of the flame became sky blue. "The flame from the zinc oxide has a reaction to the added oxygen unlike that of a fire formed from methane and hydrogen. Rather than the flame getting stronger and out of control, it slowed the process and altered its chemical signature," she presented and allowed everyone to observe the haunting blue flame before she nodded at Stoney to fold in the fire proof mat and put out the flame.
"Our hypothesis related to the different methods and chemical components in a simple substance such as fire. There are many types of fire just as there are different types of water and electrical surges all caused and created with a different chemical signature, never reacting the same to a separate common substance as we proved using oxygen as the experimental factor in a chemical fire," Aideen concluded and took off her face mask when it was safe, giving Stoney a small smile at a job well done.

Ian pumped his fist at the result of their project. "Alright! Thanks Doc! Dude we rock!" he said to Gavin and gave him a high five. He had a blast working on this project with Gavin and they're experiments were fun to try out though it came to a disaster a couple of times, like when they hit Colossus. It was all good though, cause their team leader was so awesome that he laughed it off, impressed they were actually doing school work. "C'mon bro, we gotta check out Spitfire's project. She's like smart as hell so its gotta be good," Ian said and abandoned his station to join the crowd gathering around Aideen and Stoney's station.
He went to stand right next to Niki who was the desk behind theirs anyways. "Heya babe," he whispered and place his hand on its usual place on her hip. He rubbed her hip and watched the presentation with wide eyes. Man thats all sciency and stuff but thats insane! Blue flame.... radical, he thought with a big grin as he watched it. "Man how come you and Spitfire make lab coats look so damn hot?" Ian whispered in Niki's ear, recalling fondly the time he picked her up from working in Doc's lab and she looked so damn hot in a lab coat. "Next time you and Spitfire outta wear lab coats and get the goggles and everything. Oh man that's hot. Then I can totally ask for a physical from you two," Ian said with a big grin that turned dreamy at the thought in his head.
He shook himself out of it and then let out a loud whistle. "Well that was just totally stellar. I didn't get the chemistry thingys but the water making fire stuff is Swwweeeeeet!" Ian said and winked and Niki. He chilled for a bit more to make sure Rumble didn't try any funny stuff, and of course for an excuse to be close to his girl.

"And that's my cue to go up," Brock said to TrueSpirit and clapped him on the shoulder. "Remember what I said Chiefy, make sure you got extra cash on you," he said and got up to stand by the window ledge giving him a perfect view of his prize. Brock would take any oppurtunity he had to see his prize up close and since everyone else was going up to see his presentation, he felt he was well within his right too. Especially since it was his beautiful prize presenting.
He stayed silent through he whole presentation, listening to the sound of her soft sultry voice and watch how damn good she looked in that lab coat and then speaking so cleverly. Oh yes I can pick them, and I pick well. My hot little prize is the whole package. She's got the beauty and the brains, and to top it off she's a feisty little thing. I always did have good taste, Brock thought with a dark smirk on his face, watching her set everything up and present, his eyes never leaving her. He was a conscienceless being, not giving a care what his desire for the hot little fire girl did to her or anyone else. People can blame it on Emma, or on his rich parents who spoiled him rotten, or perhaps just pass it off as Brock going through a simple phase, but he knew better. He had his own set of rules and he decided what's right. As far as he was concerned, it was his god given right to have the untouchable and unattainable fire bird all to himself. Just as it was his right to toy with whoever he wanted on the side, whether it be the Ice Girl, some bird he picked up at a bar, or any damn person he was so inclined to bother with. He never listened to any rules, why should he when he was above them? No, in Brock's mind the only laws were his own and he didn't intend to follow any others.
His hands moved to clap at the end of his prize and his teammate's presentation. "Wow baby, you are a clever one aren't you Dolly? I knew I picked well with you," Brock said looking right at her with shame. He spoke to her in an almost affectionate way, a mockery of the manner couples spoke to each other when in a serious relationship. "You got it all baby, beauty and brains and you look so good in that lab coat," he said in that same soft voice with tinge of tenderness to it, though that was far from Brock's true feelings. He was playing a new angle at this little game, just to keep things interesting.
"Real good actually. I'm sure everyone can agree to that," Brock tore his eyes from her for the first time to glance at Wolverine with a dark look in his eyes, just about openly mocking him. That's right old man, she's all mine and you can't do shit about it, he said in his head, still staring at the shorter hairy man before moving his eyes back to his lovely prize. Contrary to what most people expected, he never moved from his spot on the window ledge, another fun angle in this little game he had with his prize.

"Sweeeet!" Gavin said when Ian high-fived him. The two of them worked hard on this project and had a ton of fun putting it together. Gavin was an okay student and he actually liked science. Drama was by far his favorite class, but he didn't mind science. Dr. McCoy was a fun teacher and for once he actually understood science with him. He winked at Kat, who seemed to really like their project and looked really interested at it. "Put a good word in for us," he whispered while following her and Ian to see Ember and Stoney's project. The project looked complicated and he watched with interest standing beside Niki, giving her a grin before turning his full attention to the presentation.
It looked completely awesome. Starting a fire with water is something that Gavin had not been able to fathom until now. His eyes were glued to how the two upperclassmen carefully handled the project, fascinated by the whole chemical aspect of it. Oh they are so gonna win. That's freaking awesome, he thought throughout the presentation. He only understood maybe half of what Ember said fully, but he got the gist of it and was seriously impressed. His eyes widened when the pale flame turned a pretty light blue. "Damn...." he said with wide eyes. Gavin had to chuckle at Ian's comment about the lab coats though. "Man you nailed it, that would be pretty hot, the two of them should wear stethoscopes too," he added. Gavin always found Niki to be very attractive and exotic looking from the moment he met her, and when he first saw Ember he was just as blown away. It was even more ironic that the two girls were best friend. Niki had the unique stark white skin, eyes that were an icy white that just sorta struck you with just a glance while Ember had glistening tan skin with those dark chocolate eyes that when she looked at you it made your mind stop working. Ian was friends with both of them, but Gavin knew better than to try to push himself toward Ember. Niki was one of his favorite people at the school and he was content with chilling with her.
Gavin stiffened up slightly when he head Rumble address Ember and looked over at Ian and Niki worriedly. Oh man this never ends. Poor Ember, he thought sadly. Though he wasn't friends with the girl, he hated what Rumble did to her. He hated what it did to his two teammates, and the fact that no girl should have to go through that kind of treatment. Even now, though there weren't really any crude comments, it was just as scary. The guy spoke to her in the tone that he sometimes heard Ian use with Niki, except the underlying coldness and danger stood out blatantly when he spoke. Gavin let out a sigh and looked worriedly at Ian and Niki, putting a hand on Niki's shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze, knowing how protective she was of her friend. Nothing stops the guy, its insane, he's insane.

"Oh, aye," Katlyn whispered back to Gavin with a little mischevious smirk as she took his hand and pulled him along to the table where the two students in lab coats were going to present their project. While the two presented their project and created fire from water, Katlyn jumped for a second as it was something she had never seen, and it was so farfetched to see she clapped her hands happily at it. Standing close to Gavin she looked up at him and smiled cutely. "It starts fires almost as good as rum does!" she said to him with a grin and then looked back at the two older students. "How very clever! A little explosion and changes color like magic! It's so pretty, how I should like to keep it if I could and share my rum..had I any. A lovely thing like that could burn anything so well..." she commented, trailing off before giving the two students a big grin.
Katlyn then watched as a tall blond guy was there and started talking to the older girl as if they were together. Such a nice tall drink of water he is..he looks like she's something to eat almost. Certainly he does seem to find her attractive, I wonder if they're together? A sad thing if they are, for then he would not be a free birdy like Gavin seems to be, though there is that bubblehead who seems to always flitter nearby.. She seems a little odd to me, but nothing a lesson or two from me on how to be cooler should do the tricknesses, should I feel to put in the effort. Being my amazingly savvy self is an art, after all.
While the teachers were giving their opinions on the project Kat turned back to Gavin and gave him a flirty smile. "What say you to giving me a personal tour of this school after class, my pretty songbird? I know a wee iota of what's in this school, as I was told to come to this class before I could find all the treasures, though it seems I've found one already," she said to him, one hand gesturing a pinch in the air to emphasize how little she had seen so far. Should he say yes she would look very much to the end of the class, but even still she was amused by what she had seen so far.

Niki wasn't surprised by Beast's reaction to what she had done, and in fact she didn't care about anyone else's opinion of it anyway. It would have been a great moment to rekindle her torturous teasing of Aqua, but that girl was really boring her lately. She hadn't inspired Haven to any snide comments for so long being the silly frumpy plaything of her team mate StormHawk. It was a shame the guy spent so much energy on her, she really seemed to be either whining or sleeping and there was hardly anything worse than that. Even Katana's weirdness paled in comparison to the blond dumbshell. StormHawk could do a lot better Niki thought, and by the looks of the new girl's flirting she wondered if she would be the one to clip his wings.
She smiled at the silly-ness of her surfer-jock boyfriend and the project he and Gavin had come up with. It was good, and she had known how much time they had put into it. Haven was proud of them, they really did put a lot of thought and energy into the research. The math that they had worked out and the scale and proportion was actually far more accurate than they had made it out to be. She knew Beast would see that when he looked at their notes and test results on paper, but the presentation was too cute. She couldn't help but want to giggle and did slightly before collecting herself up. "Great job guys." she had said when the two of them finally joined her as Ember and Stoney began their presentation.
She snuggled up into Ian, wrapping his ams around herself tightly and let her head roll back against his chest. "I think my girl's got her hands full, and anyway the two of us together would be more than you could keep up with" she winked at him teasing. She knew he had plenty of stamina and more than enough drive to hang with her and Aideen, but the firebender was more than happy with her own guy. Niki was privileged to have some understanding of how completely satisfied her room mate was after her one-on-one 'training sessions', and other things. Haven was no dummy. "Stethoscopes huh?" she said raising an eyebrow to Gavin's comment and giving the suggestion a moment's thought.
As the fire blast lit the room in a white hot blaze Niki grinned. Well there goes first place, but hey they sure can put on a show...good for them...Hey but it ain't over with, I just hope my partner doesn't go all spazzy Euro-freak on our delicate little gliders. She helped me put them together and knows what we've got set up for the finale' so all I can hope is that her power control has improved some since the other day when we were practicing. She glanced over at Tempest and saw the girl doing her silly kid stuff. Shaking her head Niki reminded herself that the girl was still sort of new and rather young, but that she did have potential and had been actually almost fun to work with.
When Rumble spoke it ruined her mood... almost. She turned to look at the loser and saw him leaning up against the windows. A slight grin crossed her lips at the memory of pounding him in his stupid face. It really didn't matter what he said now, everybody knew she had handed him his ass in the field near the lake. This new little spin he put on his futile attempts to ingratiate himself to Ember were laughable. "Brock, not only are you gifted with an insight into how brilliant she is, you have got a real eye for talent... and beauty as well! Oh and the gift for stating the obvious...I'm so glad you got your teeth fixed so you could share with us all how much you wish she would give you the time of day." she grinned at him tauntingly "I think it's adorable...you keep on wishing there fella...we'll all leave you to that."
She took the time to keep her eyes trained on his making sure he broke eye contact with her before she let herself consider that she had found a wonderful replacement for her old punching bag Aqua...Rumble would do nicely.

"Hmm" was all he had said when the boys did their little stunt track with the toys and breakfasts. He wanted to add more to his commentary, but there really wasn't much to add. It just seemed an excuse to play around with their little toys. Too much like some other grown kid and his little ice tracks. He just folded his arms as Bobby's comment bounced off of him.
Iceman never was serious, it was his trademark, but Logan had seen him in some awful times and envied him for his sense of humor. Laughter was good for the soul, he wished he could do more of it. At Taffy's question he turned and said "Reckon so stretch. I've walked away from plane crashes. Terminal velocity is a real downer." he winked at her.
When Stoney and Ember began their project's demonstration he was surprised to find himself all excited. It was strange...for only a moment until he laughed at himself silently. Old man you're like a kid in a candy store...settle down...aww, hell with that... look at her go- she's glorious in her intelligence...beautiful- God look at those eyes.
A great sideshow trick, and more...nice use of the big guy, a commanding presence...and something to be learned as well? Oh Aideen you've outdone yourself. "Now tha-" he was saying as Rumble began to speak loudly. He unfolded his arms and let his hands drop to his sides. His claws twitched to spring forth as the Hellion's words seemed to mock him. Logan knew he had to maintain his cool and when Haven spoke he couldn't help but see how wrapped up in it all he had become.
Steady bub, Aideen can handle herself, and it looks like she's got back up. That Haven's got moxie, but she better watch her ass. Brock's never been one for playing fair and from where I'm standing it's plain to see he has his own back up. Wolverine's eyes wound around the room finding Frostbite. She had seemed a bit too invested in Rumble's antics. Then there was his team mate Machete as well to bring her share of grief. As for Chester, Logan knew how he felt from the first time Ember and Rumble had met and he doubted that the kid from the backwoods had changed his mind on how to treat a lady.
He relaxed and took a breath. "Now that" he continued with his original statement "is impressive." He walked closer to the table and made sure to keep a professional stance, not wanting to lose his 'military bearing' and give away his feelings for Ember. Only the slightest eye contact did he make and she could see in his eyes that he was proud of her, and counted himself blessed to know her as he did.
"So you thought the oxygen would make the reaction bigger, but it had the reverse effect. Chemical reactions... almost a kind of magic. Amazing what happens when ya get the right couple of things stirred together, huh?" He very nearly smirked but held it in as he left the close proximity of their table to return to the other teachers. He nudged Kitty in the arm upon his return to her side and nodded to let her know that he liked that experiment.

Looking on with an awed expression from her stool, the young student tried to get her sight line above the students and teachers in front of her so she could get a clear view of the experiment. It was spectacular as she imagined something the older students would have come up with. But she didn't expect it to be so ... cool. "Wow! Taffy Taffy lookit! Look! Do you think it helped that she controls fire? I wish we could have done something like that. I wish i was older and could do something more exciting as a project. Our's is no way cool now." She said, a hint of upset in her voice.
Never once taking her eyes away from the experiment Stoney and Ember where doing she started almost jumping when she saw the reaction with oxygen on the already oxidised chemical. It was so pretty! The sudden change in colour of the flame produced from the reaction was something she hadn't expected. As far as she knew a flame was either yellow or orange, depending on how hot it was. Not blue. "It's Blue!" She said out loud, a little louder than probably necissary but she couldn't hold back her voice. She was so impressed that there where different flame colours. 'I wonder if you can get pink fire. That'd be pretty. Maybe purple too! OH I wonder if Aideen knows how to get a rainbow flame! That would be sooo cool!' She thought absently, still staring with a grin at the now finished experiment.
She only sat back on her knees when Stoney wrapped up the finished experiment. It was safe to say Torri was beyond impressed by the older students. But now she was just a little bit upset at how plain the one she and Taffy had worked on seemed. "Ricki!" She said in a hushed whisper, motioning her over so she could talk quietly. "I don't think I can talk now! I don't want to do something not as cool as that. I thought it was cool before, but it's so not." Looking around she sighed a little and looked back to her team mate and class partner. She adored Taffy; she trusted her. But sometimes just her being there was not enough. "I don't want to be laughed at."

Ricki nodded at Wolverine's response, "Fair enough." she mused, as Torri and her headed closer towards Ember and Stoney's experiment. Ricki watched their experiment stunned, and nodded and 'hmm'd' whenever Torri spoke to her, seeing she was hardly paying attention to the younger Acolyte. Bloody hell that awesome! Ricki blinked, she managed to catch half of Ember's explanation of how the chemistry worked, but it didn't really make too much sense to her. As they ended their experiment, Rick applauded the pair along with the crowd. "That really was something." she mumbled, before shaking her head slightly.
Ricki's attention was diverted though, as soon as she heard Torri say that she wasn't feeling all that great about their project anymore. Ricki wasn't going to lie to the younger Acolyte and tell her how their project was going to be as cool, because it most probably wasn't - but still, she could always help encourage her right? "Torri hun, see - they're older students, you'd expect something cool from them." she stated simply, "We still have a lot to learn, and we really can't mess too much with dangerous things like Stoney and Ember have." she explained, with a comforting smile.
"And no one's going to laugh at you Torri, what we're doing is actually extreemy smart. I don't think many people have actually thought about how their taste and vision works in sync. And Torri, you came up with it. That's really amazing!" Ricki grinned, "Plus, remember - never, and i mean never think you're not good enough and back out before performing, because then you will never know if you were actually good enough or not." Ricki hoped that made sense to Torri, seeing her voice was extreemly mumbly and people often couldn't make sense of what she was saying due to the lack of clarity.

Tia was actually sorta interested during StormHawk and Diesel's presentation, mostly due to the wind factor it contained. I wonder if it'll make a difference that I can control wind, would I be able to like sit on the fastest roller coaster and maybe use the wind as a sheild or something? but that would just be boring... hmm, yea it would be boring. Eww, I don't like the smell of eggs. I hope that one doesn't crack... Tia continued her mental commentary throughout the experiment and clapped along with the crowd when they finished. That was interesting... I guess. Except the eggs. Eww. Urgh, that stinks. She stayed shut as usual as everyone complimented the pair out loud. She was now mentally running her lines for her project through her head.
She crossed her arms across her chest as they moved onto Ember and Stoney's project. Is that even possible? Well duh, but still...wow. That's cool. she blinked at Embe and Stoney carried on with the project, Ember speaking about a lot of complex science stuff. None of it really made sense to her - but Tia didn't really mind, seeing the experiment was worth just looking at by itself. She wasn't planning on doing it herself anytime, so she didn't really care about the science behind it. She clapped again as the pair finished their project, though she rolled her eyes as Rumble opened his mouth. The dude never gave up did he? If being all grown up mean all that drama 24x7, Tia was better off being 13, and hardly having people know her. She shifted slightly, closer towards Veronika who was standing besides her.

The projects in all reality held little interest to Veronika, she knew she'd get an 'A' on her presentation. All she'd do was bat her eyelashes and smile sweetly as the explained their project and she knew her grade was going to be high, how can they give her anything less? It was little care to Veronika if they won the contest or not, being exempt from the final was not something that she needed, being generally a good student as well. God a project with car tracks? How pathetic. I suppose it serves a purpose, but it is really quite childish and looks nothing more than an excuse to play instead of work. Then again, both are rather attractive and Gavin does have a lovely voice, they do not need brains. Veronika clapped politely for them and opened her mirror to reapply her lip gloss. It took all her restraint to not roll her eyes during that harlot and the idiot hick's presentation. She never heard him say a word, assuming he was just slow and his appearance screamed 'I have a dad named Bubba and he's also my brother'. Not extremely attractive to someone in a high class like Veronika. God it is positively revolting how they all fawn over that harlot. I am so sick of their utter adoration for that harlot. A girl like her should know science, she probably will not age well and needs something to fall back on. All the males here are pathetic dogs, drooling over her as if she was some juicy steak and they were starving. Veronika heaved a sigh and hid a smirk when Rumble began speaking almost tenderly to that harlot. There must be something wrong with her, honestly just look at him! He is Adonis in his human form, tainted only by the bruise on his face. It gives him a look of danger though, not worsening him as it would to most others. She is lucky that a godly man like him is interested in someone of her low class, yet she continues to reject him. What an imbecile, she will never do better than him.
Of course to keep with the polite image, she clapped for them too. Her eyes were on the female grim reaper that was hanging all over Gavin. I suppose keeping her legs closed is too hard to understand for her kind. Asking for a personal tour, yes I am sure that is innocent. Heather will be kicking herself if she lets her lose him to that girl that looks like she had been locked in windowless room for her entire life. Veronika nudged Heather slightly and raised an eyebrow at her, glancing at the new death freak and Gavin and giving her an expectant look.

Brock's eyes left his prize only for a moment to look at the albino before laughing darkly under his breath. "Yea my teeth came out pretty nice, didn't they? Amazing how easily cheap shots are fixed. I'm a little surprised I couldn't throw you off, but I guess looking at you now I kinda know why," he said and let his eyes move the the albino's gigantic ass. "You know I heard walking is really good for shedding those pounds. Better be careful if you're walking outside though, it seems this area is prone to Earthquakes lately, but hey you know that better than anyone else don't you?" Brock laughed under his breath, the look on the albino's and her brick brained boy toy as they were swallowed by the Earth still fresh in his mind and amused him endlessly.
"I gotta agree with Scary Hairy over there though baby, you were really impressive. Stoney acted as a good muscle man, he's good in that role. His voice doesn't sound anywhere near as sexy are yours," Brock said in an eerie tender like voice, still speaking to her as if they have been lovers for months. He even changed his body language to make it seem softer and more tender, delighting in her reaction. "I don't have to wish for what's already mine, do I baby?" he said in that same voice and even gave her a tender smile, though the underlying darkness behind it shone through, depicting the darkness of his very soul.
"That's first prize right there baby, good job," he said in a supportive voice, his cold blue eyes glinting darkly. "See you after Dolly, you made me proud. Nice to see a woman with a bit of brains on her," Brock said with a dark chuckle and surprisingly enough turned to walk back to his desk. "Lay off the burritos and rice and beans, it might make it easier to breathe next time you put on jeans," he said pushing the buttons of the albino. Spanish women were never his type, he didn't care for a woman that had more junk in the trunk than he had in the trunk of his car. Brock was quite vain when it came to his own shape. He had a systematic workout routine that kept him in supreme shape, many women have greatly appreciated his carefully sculpted muscles and body. He appreciated women who took just as much care of their body, but settled for the one didn't look like they had a watermelon in some part of their body.
Brock plopped down in his seat and moved a nearby chair up so he can pop his legs up. He took out his nifty bottle of painkiller and popped two of them in his mouth. The smirk was right back on his face and he put his arms behind his head, now just chilling as he thought of how to get her alone after this. It wouldn't be hard since he knew his girl would want to be alone if he rattled her enough. All that remained to be seen was where his pretty prize would end up.

While Gavin and Diesel presented she listened to only the first half when Gavin spoke, and for the rest tuned out and smirked at Hardlight, eyeing the ice cream maker he had fashioned out of light. It would definitely look great while they did their project, being sparkly and all. Meanwhile she could feel eyes on her back but she didn't acknowledge it as she leaned over to Hardlight and whispered. "Yea that's a new girl. I'm sorry I completely forgot to help you bring in the stuff.. had a headache and all after last night, as you know," she said with another little smirk. Although it seemed she was forming another group of friends it wasn't as if she dropped the people she still knew. Lorelai still cared for Hardlight even though she could pick up the feeling he didn't think so, and she still had his back. And she would, as long as she remembered to when she wasn't focused on flirting with Rumble and as long as he didn't drop her for the way she was being now.
Seeing as everyone else had gathered around Ember and Stoney's table to see their presentation she hung back and rested her knees on her stool so she could see from a little higher. It was cool to see, but seeing as it was fire it was well enough that she stayed away, but was unable to help rolling her eyes as everyone else gathered and Rumble went over. She was surprised to see him take a different approach at bothering Aideen, but still shook her head. "Like moths to a literal flame," she said in a low voice to Hardlight, having leaned down to say it to him until her attention was drawn away by Haven trying to probably pick a fight with Brock.
Lorelai was then instantly glad her headache and crappy feeling went away when Brock spoke, cause as he did she burst out laughing. He just did the worst thing when talking to a chick- bringing up weight and even worse going so far as to call Haven FAT. Her laughs were loud and she banged her fist on the table as she got off her knees to stand up, bending over the table as she held her stomach. "Oh shit that's great!" she giggled as Brock made a last comment and came back to his seat. It was safe to say that she was in a very good mood right then, as her day was made again for the second time in a row. Her racuous laughter soon died to giggles and then to nothing as she shot Haven a smug smirk and then turned to Brock.
Being in the mood she was in Lorelai couldn't help just going the short distance over to Brock and with another smug smirk she looked both Haven and Diesel in the eyes as she looked away to the Hellion next. Her smirk turned flirty before she leaned down and gave him a kiss on the cheek as well as another brief peek down her shirt. "I love how you seem to keep making my day," she said to him, winking before turning back to take her seat, making sure he got a good look at her ass just before she sat down, her smirk looking thorougly amused. Then, while acting like nothing happened, she turned her attention to her nails as if there were something to do with them, waiting for someone to just blow up after that.
