With a sigh, Piotr stood up, taking off the sunglasses and the beaded vest in the process and placing it on the back of his chair. He waved his hand to Chupacabra to signal his permission for him to join the class and turned to the two boys in front of him. "Kyle, or Fleet am I right? You may go, it is nice to have you back," he said with a smile and dismissed him. When he heard from Emma that he would be returning, Piotr anticipated trouble. He had some dangerous enemies, two of the ones to be worried about were on his team. Neither Diesel nor Haven were shy about their displeasure for the Paragon boy, and their hostility ran at a deeper level than others.
Right now, Piotr looked at the young man standing in front of him, proud and unashamed of his actions but willing to take whatever consequences were necessary. Piotr saw the potential in Diesel as a team Captain and one day perhaps a great leader and did all he could to bring more of that out of him. "We will have a talk about this later, but until then I expect to join Riker and I in the garden tomorrow. Now please go back to your work," he said with a nod to his team captain. He held his gaze for a moment before indicating with his head that he may return to his work.
Leaving the chalk sketch he'd been working on behind, Piotr stood up and walked around the class, looking at people's projects. "Very nice Gavin, I cannot wait to hear the final song." He said as he passed the winged Acolyte. "Be sure to take a picture of your tattoos Kat so I may have them on record and remember Kevin, when it comes to sculpting just pretend it is something you can make with your power. Confidence in your abilities applies in all aspects of your life." Piotr patted Kevin's shoulder and looked around at the class. "I want to remind you all that we are going for the 'Summer of Love' feel. Though I do not mind some of you going off on a tangent as long as it is art, please be reminded that I grade you based on how well you grasp the feeling," he announced and continued walking around and slowly making his way back to his seat as he looked at other people's projects.

After Colossus spoke Haven thought it best to clear out since she wasn't supposed to be there at that time anyway. Grinning at Gavin she whispered with a chuckle in her voice "Double date? Oh boy, can't wait." and picked up the stack of papers she still had yet to post. Looking around though she saw pretty much everyone who had to make up their assignment there, with a few obvious exceptions.
"And here I thought I might have fun tonight, who knew it'd be a... whatever it's gonna be now." She smiled at him more sincerely "But for you, because you're a good guy Gavin..who must be legally blind and needing a hearing test too..." she shrugged not knowing what he saw in the ditsy primped up prep girl "...for you I can be civil to her, maybe even a little nice if you play your cards right."
As she walked past Ian heading back to take his seat she pinched his ass "Nice shot baby, he had that coming for the longest." She looked at Colossus to see if he was looking at the two of them. Seeing him otherwise distracted she quickly stole a kiss from Diesel "Tonight? Double date? Aww you and your great ideas...but I'll be good..." there was a look in her eye "..until it's time to be baaad" she smiled.
"Speaking of...I'll make sure our old pal Jumper gets a nice welcome home check up." she whispered it into his ear so very softly that even Riker might not hear as she placed a kiss on Ian's cheek. Then feeling the eyes of her Team Leader Colossus on her she looked over to his see him staring at her. "O.K., you don't have to say a thing...I'm goin'."
She stepped to the door and with a wink back at Ian she left following Jumper, now named Fleet, down the hall. She was going to put up a few more notices in the Kitchen and Rec-Room and Cafeteria and then beat feet to the lab. Kyle's welcome home was only just at a start, Haven had let a lot of things go by her lately but this was a guy she almost blew up the school to get back at and now her chance was close at hand.

Wow solid punch, Ian is a heavy hitter. He totally held back like so much. Jumpdi- uh, Fleet is so lucky!! He's could have a nose pushing out the other side of his face if our guy Diesel did'nt hold back and keep from using more than the tiniest bit of his strength. "Hey, my clay! Ripple!" Kevin said as he dropped the rest of what he caried thanks to Lain grabbing a chunk of his modleing clay he was holding that he carried. "Oh man-" he said as it fell and when he saw it was going right onto Chase's foot "-lookout!" he said.
Collosus comming up to him spun him around to look up and smile. Knowing he had just messed up Frese-Frams vans he cringed at the thought of having to deal with the Paragon over some crapped up shoes. It made watching Walker so not fun if they were all buged about somthign triveal like clothses or food. They had such a big deal over some stupid can of Prongles chips once, Chase and Skylar, thatr Kevin stoped snacking all together over it. Sure he dropped the chips, and some body fat too, but it was an accident and their was'nt hardley any chips left at all anyway. "Uh?" the hand on his shoulder shook his mind free of the past as his teachers words sunk in.
"Right, confidendce - got it Collosus." he said nodding and turning around to apologize to Chase. He hoped he did'nt just make an enemy since for some reason the guy was looking beter and beter to him. He was'nt all tough guy crap he was silly and fun and kinda cute in his own way, the red hair was somthign to get you'st to but he had to admit he had some fantasys about the guy lately for some reason. He stedyied himself and swalowed hard to turn and face the mess he had made- with confidendce.

With a quick look Chase froze the lump of clay in mid-air as Kevin spun around to talk to Colossus. Chase caught a look at the new chick Splice taking pictures of the class and he mugged it up a little in case she took his picture, not too much though. He thought she was pretty chill and he liked her style, so he didn't want to mess up her artwork. He thought it might be a good composition if he was to look at Kevin while Colossus talked to him, so he did. He didn't know if she got the shot.
Then sudden shock struck him as he realized he was looking at the boy's ass and this girl was taking pictures, maybe of him doing that. He had been looking all the way down from his head to his feet and then back up to rest his gaze on that tight looking little bubble ass. The kid is looking cute lately, even wearing makeup and he just gave me that look earlier and aw shit, could I? he shook his head at the thought of throwing a shot into him.
As Kevin began to turn around Chase held out the clay in his one hand and his other hand pointing to it. "Drop something?" He asked was a raise of his brows and a look on his face that said 'I expect an apology and some thanks too'.

K'8 continued to un wrap and peel crayon after crayon until she had quite a pile of naked crayons, and then she scooped up all the papers and tossed them out in the nearby trashcan. Coming back with a canvas that had been near enough to the two wild Paragon girls to get splashed with a bit of paint, but still had plenty of white canvas showing.
Sitting back down next to Riff~Raff she leaned to him. "Nice painting Riker? Hey, can I borrow your lighter?" She wanted to finish up her piece of art and get on with her weekend. She and Sean wouldn't have a whole lot of time together so she was in a rush to melt all the different colored crayons into a really big and awesome looking melty dripped style art looking peace symbol.
Looking back to the new girl that had been eying her so hard and weird just a minute before she said "OK, Yoora? You're a New mutant right? What is it you do again, the codename was Pedigree? Isn't that like for" she paused because she didn't want to say it loud to make it seem like she was making fun of her but simply asking "...uh, for like dog shows and stuff?"

Mato had looked up from his wood carving project briefly to watch the scene play out. He had been carving a flute that he knew was a big hit back then and he intended to play some of the spiritual music with it to add to the feel of the Summer of Love that he learned about in History. With careful observant gray eyes Mato watched the scene play out, from the wild dog growling viciously at the ostrich that looked like it was fearing the worst. The wild dog is not one to be crossed. It will always remember an offence taken against him.
As quietly as before he went back to the wooden flute he was working on. He had gotten through it quite nicely so far and was looking forward to playing it after presenting it to Colossus. The shape of the flute was already there, now all he had to do was make it hollow and drill the holes into it. Mato first learned how to make a flute when he was a small boy. He loved the sounds and melodies made from such a simple instrument, and with the help of his father he learned how to play it to honor the Spirits.
He was looking forward to the weekend, where he could relax and live in the forest just as he did at home. With his bear by his side, they would roam the forest floor as they did before and be one with the Spirits that lived in every part of nature. The forest by the school wasn't the same, but to be in the wild would be like a taste of home. By tonight the homesickness he carried with him would be eased.

A mischievous grin came on Jocelyn's face as she finished taking pictures of Diesel punching the kid with the little studs on him. She had a great shot of the boy holding his nose and Diesel spitting on him. "Now that's one I wish I had in color, but hey black and white works fine," she said winking at Hardlight as she clicked away the pictures. She already had a bunch of that cute blonde with the huge boobs covered in paint. The shots looked pretty awesome, the girl was skinny enough and moved well enough to make a pretty good model. Jocelyn had an eye for bodies on both men and women and she knew how to chose a good model. It wasn't about how thin someone was or how curvy, they just had to have a certain quality about them that attracted the camera. That Paragon girl covered in purple paint was a perfect example.
She moved on to stand on the side and focus on Gavin. Not so much as him as a whole but more so on his torso and the way he held his guitar and his callused fingers moved over the strings. The beauty of the image laid in the obvious passion for the music that he held. It was some lucky shots she got and she cherished them. It was hard to capture passion in a picture that can't be seen with your own eyes, but her knack for a good shot was a big help. The image itself was almost magical and Jocelyn couldn't wait to develop these shots in the dark room.
The camera wouldn't click anymore and a cute pout formed on her lips. "Oh pooh, looks like I need a new roll!" she said and walked over to her bag to carefully change the film. Her eyes slid to Ariel and winked at her, letting her eyes slide over the girl's body. She caught her eye and licked her lips a bit before tossing her hair over her shoulder and looking back in her bag, watching her from the corner of her eye.

Gavin shook his head laughing after looking up at the scene. He had to give it to Ian, that guy could have literally punched that guy's head right off if he wanted to, but he must have been aiming for nothing more than a tap to the face to give the guy only a completely misshapen nose and what looked like a killer black eye. He had rolled his eyes at Niki and just kept right on playing his song. Niki was just being herself and he liked her all the more for that. As far as he was concerned though, Heather and him were just dating. He wasn't into having an actual girlfriend unless he knew it was gonna be serious for good. Like he told Heather, he sucked at relationships, and frankly he wasn't going to get into one unless he was completely sure it was worth it. For now though, he was chill with just dating Heather and seeing how it worked for them on a new level other than friendship.
"Nice hit bro, I'm a bit surprised that you didn't take his head off from the way that you and Niki talk about him," Gavin commented looking up from guitar and looked at his roommate and best friend. A look of realization swept over his face and he let out a loud laugh. "Oh man you wanted Niki to get a shot didn't you?" The question wasn't one that needed an answer, Gavin knew his two best friends well enough to know how they work. "You guys are hilarious," he added laughing a bit more and then wrote down the last couple of notes he played.
"So what's up with tonight anyways? We taking one of the spare cars again? Cause if we are I'm driving this time, last time you nearly hit a deer," Gavin said laughing when he thought of the crazy car ride to the diner. "We're going to the arcade too right? I'm up for kicking your ass at Street Fighter," he added with a big smirk. That was the best game.

All Sky had to do was touch the clay on her head and it shriveled to nothing. "Oh wow Lian you are just so badass, you threw clay! God I don't think I can ever top that," she said rolling her eyes and throwing a smirk at Chase's direction. Without warning, she grabbed Lian's head and dunked it right into large freshly filled tub of orange paint next to the canvas. "Dumb blonde or not at least I don't look like a Chinese Oompa Loompa," Sky shouted and laughed at Lian's still green head and orange face. She held her face in the orange paint for a couple of seconds before she let her up to get air. Falling over on the plastic, Sky held her stomach laughing and pointing at Lian. "Man now you look as stupid as you sound!" she said cracking up and holding her stomach.
This was the second time that she was laughing this hard in the span of five minutes. She didn't know Jumper at all, only hearing stuff about him from Lian and Chase, but seeing anyone get punched like that was just plain funny. Sky laughed a little longer and wiped the tears that mixed with the purple paint off her cheeks. "You're such a dumbass," she said in a teary voice from laughing so much. Standing up, Sky picked up the tub of orange paint carefully, lifting it over her head shakily. Tilting it to one side, a waterfall of orange paint spilled over her, covering her in orange.
"Now for me to fix this mess the Chink made," Sky said sticking her tongue out at Lian before flopping back on the canvas and moving her body all over the canvas, even posing at some points in case she was being photographed again. "Chase! Make the dog eater stop ruining my art!" she yelled bringing her bare foot covered in orange paint to Lian's butt and kicking it so she'd roll right into the puddle of orange and making her hit the wall hard enough to make one of the sheets of protective plastic fall on her, making Sky giggle all over again.

Yoora had not expected either of her new friends to need anything from the front of the room, but had asked to be polite. Her Great Uncle put great stock in politeness and she tried to take after his example. After waiting a few moments with no response she was about to get her own canvas when Sky poured a whole can of paint over her head and started flinging it everywhere. It was the first major escalation in what seemed to be an increasingly gladiatorial paint project between Sky and her friend Lian. Yoora could hear Riker growling and, as her hearing was not good enough to hear Chupacabra, assumed he too was finding the originally amusing exchange between the Paragon girls a little much.
Shortly afterward a boy burst through the door and announced the return of his old roommate, whom Yoora gathered was probably the boy the others had spotted outside and gotten so agitated about. Maybe the front isn't such a good idea. Too much action. I might just get some charcoals instead...Uncle would probably like that and a big painting might take too much time. The charcoals were there in the back of the room not to far from Yoora and it would take just a moment to get them and a small sketch pad.
It was a sensible thought but she wasn't really sold on the idea until the boy who looked like a football player walked up and gave a friendly greeting to the returning boy, and then out of nowhere smashed his face. The boy responded to this aggression, strangely enough, by apologizing. First lunch and then this. Wow. Everyone needs to learn calm. I'm glad I'm with the sane friends in the back. Yoora quickly fetched the charcoals and fished out a sketch bad before returning to her seat in time to hear Colossus telling the returning boy, Fleet, she though he said, he could go, and then announcing to everybody they would be graded on keeping to the 'Summer of Love' theme. Ah, yes, landscape of Dakota not great idea. Not so hippie, I think.
Sitting down she pulled out the sketch book, put the charcoals down on the desk, and tried to think of what to draw. She was still thinking when K'8, who apparently had gotten her own canvas, started talking to her. "Yes, I'm on the NuMutants. I recognize you are too from introduction Ms. Frost gave. You like team?...Oh, yes, my name. I just got it from Ms. Frost. I don't know what it means. You say it is about dogs?" The comment about her name had piqued Yoora's interest and she was so eager to find out more about what her name meant that she forgot to tell K'8 about her power.

"Sssshhhh dude! Not so loud!" Ian said sneaking a glance at Colossus, letting out a sigh of relief that he wasn't paying attention to them. "If Pete or any teacher finds out we got to drive we'll be in deep shit man. Kelly ain't ever gonna let us drive again," he said in a whisper and then grinned big. "I'll ask Kelly if he can take us to town again, but if not I think Pete's taken Kitty Teach out tonight. If we go with him he ain't letting us drive, but if Kelly's up for it you can drive." Ian said with a wink to Gavin and began whistling and making his tree again.
"Man I can't wait to go to the Arcade. I'm gonna get one of those giant milkshakes, and the huge sundae. But I'm gonna be mad as hell if that yo-yo who was mackin' on Niki is there again. I told him to beat and I'd go Picasso on his face if I saw him there again," Ian said with a slight scowl as he molded the last of the trunk in. "Stupid punk."

Art class was possibly the easiest and most relaxing class for many, especially Piotr. He loved watching his students put there heart and soul into a piece of artwork and loved to see the look on their face when they presented their work, proud of showing off that little piece of the soul brought out in some form. It touched Piotr to see the expression of a true artists on some of the faces. This project was particular good at bringing out that look because it allowed them more free reign and choice on what to make.
For the rest of class, he walked around and watched his students work, giving out pointers when needed and commenting as they progressed in their work. It was fun to see students interacting in between projects, though at one point he did have to confiscate the wooden swords from Sky and Lian. Piotr kept a close eye on Kevin and how he worked in art without his magnificent power, also on Lian, Chase and Sky to make sure those three didn't goof off.
Piotr looked at his watch and clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. "Everyone please pause your work. We have fifteen minutes before class ends and I would like to see your choice of projects and your progress with it for now. Who would like to begin?" he asked and picked the first hand that was raised to go first.

Riker raised his hand lazily and held up the almost done psychedelic looking landscape that was formed with multiple smeared finger paint copying a style of a poster that was on the wall. "I like ta call this wee piece the Hills of Ireland with a wee bit o' an artistic twist," he announced and waved his picture to show Colossus and get the paint to dry. He wasn't big on art but it was something that he had fun with and actually liked so he didn't mind the class. School wasn't the place for someone who grew up in the wild, but this class didn't feel all that much like school.
He placed the picture down and looked at it proudly. Riker showed the picture to K'8 and smirked. "Well Katie lass, me favorite wee Gamma, is this not a work o' art?" he said with a wink. He spent most of class talking to either her or Sky and Chase behind him. That was some fun kinda crowd. He barely looked at the new girl on his team. Reasons being that until she had proved herself in the pack, she was nothing more than another runt. Unless someone shows a characteristic that puts them in a higher position from the beginning, everyone started out as a runt. He didn't smell or catch anything that stood out about this girl who kept sitting nearby and invading his space, but he prayed that she would be more useful in practice.
"Oui, let's get this over wit ya lot. I wanna see these lovely art as they say an' still have enough time ta make meself a bloody sandwich," Riker yelled out and leaned back in the chair, ruffling K'8's hair again playfully and winking.

"Heh, hey Riker. I got mine all done too!" Katie grinned at him her eyes flashing pretty in the light of early afternoon that streamed in through the windows. "Summer of Love? I gotcha covered there...oh here Riker." she handed him back his lucky Zippo lighter. "I think it's almost outta juice." It was no wonder that his Zippo, his wonderful Zippo, was out of fluid since K'8 had been using it to melt the pile of crayons she had stripped of their paper wrappers into her work of art. "Hey Colossus!" she stood up and held up her piece for him to see "What's so funny bout PEACE, Love and Understandin'?" She giggled a little at the look he gave her work. Turning it to show it off in the light and so that everybody could see it's wonderful dribbly melty texture and the colors as they oozed together she beamed proudly.

Katlyn, in the process of giving herself a new tattoo, decided to change what she was going to do simply on the whim when she took into consideration that a bat wasn't groovy enough for what was being asked. However, the change of plan didn't phase her a bit as she thought of an alternative with a mischievous smirk and started to work around the outline of ink she had already put onto her arm. A new image of an 'evil eye' was forming in its place and Kat skittered across the room to where there were markers and started coloring around it carefully while there was still time to work. All the while she was giggling as she liked this idea just as much as the bat tattoo idea, although that was a good idea for another time. The colors she used she thought were too bright, in her opinion, but alas that was how it was in the 60s, all really colorful and psychedelic. However, how she did it still was good enough for her, as it was almost a flame in one respect while being a rainbow at the same time. Her lips pursed as she drew around the design carefully but efficiently, and colored in where she wanted there to be color. By the time she had just about finished was when Colossus had said to pause on the work, and it worked since she did what she had wanted to do. She blew on her arm over the spot delicately to dry the marker slightly and looked at it adoringly. Aye, another job well done, though I be givin' meself that blasted bat later, she thought to herself with a tilted head as she looked at her newest tattoo before walking up to Colossus. On the way she saw the pictures Riker and the other goth girl had done and smirked. Finger painting looked quite fun, but the peace sign was a symbol Katlyn had never really cared for, but she liked how the coloring was hypnotically swirly. "Oi Colossus, see me newest tat? I quite like it for havin' that much color..a surprise, but aye, take yer picture so I can go back and stare at it some more," she said to him with a giggle and held out her arm for him to see. She looked up at him with a big smile while her normally blue eyes started changing to all of the colors she had used as the effect of her newest tattoo.
