From the moment that Dante put an arm around her waist, Ana stood there frozen and slightly scared. Not only did she not expect it, but this was a hoodlum, the kind of guy that she tried her best to stay away from, and frankly, he just scared her. It was rare that Ana was caught off guard to this point, as she was usually prepared for anything. She couldn't believe that a guy like Dante brazenly touched her and for a minute she actually had been scared. Not that she'd admit it to anyone, but how else was she supposed to feel when a dangerous hood grabbed her out of nowhere. She had never spoken to the boy before, and this just went beyond expectations.
When Dante had grabbed him and paralyzed him, she was perhaps one of the few that wasn't laughing. That guy was dangerous, and she didn't know what he could do to someone like her. Sure Ana was a telekinetic and more than capable of taking care of herself against one guy, but Veronika had told her the guy could paralyze people with a touch, and he had his arm around her! She was too scared to do anything and now the she looked back, she was also a bit mad. Ana could fight her own battles, she didn't need help from anyone to do so. Even if she was rather frail looking, she was anything but helpless.
"You know," Ana started as she watched Jax walk off past the basketball courts and to the mansion. "I no need help to fight. I can handle self." She threw a grin in, just for good measure as she didn't want anyone upset with her, at least no one within her own group. "I go now to..." She tried to think of an excuse and looked over to see her small smoothie empty. "To get some more of the smoothie. I had a light lunch, I can afford one more." Ana grabbed her empty cup and tried to walk as casually as she could back in the mansion without trying to make it look like she wanted to catch up with Jax.
"Wait!" she called once she went past the glass doors and closed them behind her. "Wait please." She sped up a little bit, her cute blue sandals making that flop noise as she rushed through the hall, seeing him only a bit in front of her. "JAX!" It was the first time she called him by his name, and the only reason that she didn't call him 'moron' or 'idiot' or 'fungus' was cause she actually wanted to explain.

Alex stepped out of the way as first some big guy and then Ana moved past him, and kept his mouth shut for a change. He'd spent the morning straightening up the room and re-evaluating his position. It wasn't in his nature to back down. Ever. He was his own person and he didn't do well falling in line, especially under people who he didn't respect and who didn't respect him.
His eyes drifted to where Riker was beside Sky and his lip curled up.
Exhibit A.
Still, Alex knew enough to realize things couldn't keep going the way they were. A hard left was needed, a new start, an attempt at peace and if nothing else, a chance to chisel a spot for himself among his own team. A spot that didn't involve him being a schlep and getting his throat torn out every time he voiced an opinion.
With a nervous hand, Alex ran his fingers through his hair. That had been the first thing he'd done that morning. A fresh start deserved something to commemorate it. He had hacked off his ponytail, cropping his hair short and out of the way, and he wasn't quite used to it just yet. It wasn't a huge deal, but for Alex it was as good as a vow not to f*ck up again. Or if he did f*ck up to handle it with a bit of grace. Not that he had anything to prove to the giant chihuahua that was his team captain.
At least that's what he told himself.
"Aquí no va nada," he muttered under his breath, walking over to the pool. He offered the group there a small and slightly wary smile before sitting at the edge of the pool and letting his legs slide into the water. "Buenos días, guys... Heather." He nodded his head politely to the blonde angel and swallowed heavily, quickly looking away.
"What'd I miss?"

Oh boy, I think I'm just gonna keep swimming, and keep my mouth shut. The fact that Dante did what he did was really weird. Kevin'd never remebered the guy being all that involved with Ana, OR anybody else for that matter, well excetp for mabey Riki but that was another weird thing that he did'nt want to have to rap him mind around.
So instead of all of that or the whole Aqua thing he just otpted for saying hi to Chupacbra. "Hey, nice haircut. It's wow! It's really a good cut on you." He said to the guy, who was in a surpisring way was'nt half bad looking at all and kinda actualy cute now that his ratty hair was gone. He thoght it was mabey a but unevened so he asked "Did you cut that yourself?"
Then as he treaded water in front of the boy he thoght that Binchy might be able to hook him up with a slighly tighter and cleaner cut that could really show off the strength of his Latino feachurs. He would bat his eyes at Kris and see if he could'nt break the spell of Dante's forceful sexyness with a reqest to have him help the yummy and growing hoter by the minute Alex out.

The sweet smirk that Veronika wore soon turned into a line of adorable giggles at the whole scene. She relished not just in the power she held over not just the hood that asserted his power now for the first time in front of everyone, but the power she held over everyone really. She could make anyone, even a dangerous hoodlum like Dante, do whatever she wanted, think whatever she wanted, and most of all, they would never suspect a thing, because she wouldn't want them to. It was all a twisted cycle and Veronika was the one who made it spin. The power was intoxicating, and the more she exercised it, the more she loved it.
"Oh my, it looks like someone is a little bit bitter yes?" Veronika said with a giggle, swinging her legs over the chair and looking up at Dante from the rims of her sunglasses. "Looks like you are as tough as you say." She crossed her legs as she let the straw dangle from her lips as she looked up at the dangerous looking young man. She hated his haircut at first, but the more she looked at him the more she could call it fitting. "Admit it, you had fun with that, did you not? I saw the look on your face," Veronika said teasing slightly as she tossed her hair over her shoulder.
She slid a glance over at Kris and winked at him before looking back up at Dante. "It is so nice to know I can depend on you as a teammate," she purred giving him a sweet smile, pushing her on her head. She was liking this hood more and more, and the intense look of him was much more appealing than it was when she first met him. Sipping her smoothie, a slow smirk crossed her face as she remembered their conversation earlier. "We should do this again soon, do you not think?"

Alex gripped the edge of the pool and stared down at the water while Heather flirted with the idiot with the wings. That battle was already lost, but it still cut Alex to his very core to see her with someone that didn't even appreciate her. Heather deserved so much more than some guy who was too busy flirting with every pretty face that passed by. If she would just look at him like that, he wouldn't take her for granted...
Stupid flying rock star.
Alex glanced at Kevin and ran an awkward hand through his hair. "Yeah. I tried. I thought it was time for a new look." He glanced at Heather again before shaking his head. "Does it look like a drunk monkey did it? I did the best I could." Scowling, Alex splashed at the water with his feet.

Kevin giggled as he swam over to Alex. "Naah it's great I was being a perfectionist like usual, but it looks good. Much cuter than your old look." It was true that Kevin was always trying to be perfect in what he did with his wardrobe and his hair and even his power. He had TRIED TO GET KRIS *ahem* to see about helping Alex out since the guy somehow looked like he was ready for a change and it was way past time for it to.
Then Lian just wouldn't shut up about what happened and Kevin rolled his eyes so that Alex could see and nudged his head to her direction. "Boy, she's just all drama." he whispered. "I saw her face, she just got scared and fell in, I didn't feel the force- did you?" He looked for an expression on Alex his face but then he answered for him and said "Nope, I didn't think so."
Kevin only smiled to himself at how ridiculous Lian was sometimes. She made a mess of so many things and she was a loud foul mouthed girl who made him glad he liked boys. At least they were supposed to be like that when they were playing around and he could only imagine what her personal hygiene was like as he looked over and saw the trashy girl from Cali. swim across the water. But he did kinda think it was a scary sound so at least he could understand why she fell in but why did she have to blame and all that yelling? Kevin smirked a little at Alex. "Did ya?" he asked again.

It was a constant job for Veronika to act like she cared about other people's well beings to keep up appearances. However, when it came to her own team she did hold a level of concern. She needed all of them in their best shape, and if they weren't at their best that meant they couldn't protect her from all situations. Reality was that the Paragons were the best team that Veronika could have gotten. She had them all so charmed that she knew without a doubt that they would take a bullet for her, let alone a hit. In order for that to happen, she needed all of them to be in their best form.
"Oh my, the poor darlings," the red haired beauty said sitting up in her lounge chair with a sweet look of concern on her face. She was in fact concerned, yet at the same time impressed. That Kat girl, despite looking like Walking Death, was in fact quite powerful and even more so useful to that extent. Veronika already was in the process of having that girl fall under her charm, and she found the effort even more worth it. "Please excuse me everyone, I must go and check on them. I do hope they are alright." Veronika had a sweet smile on her face as she put on a loose open grey button up shirt over her bikini top and slipped into her Juicy Couture flip flops, tossing her hair over her shoulder.
"Save my seat please, I will be back in a little while, maybe see if I can find Ana on the way, she's been gone for a long time," she said and walked toward the mansion with the intent to go to the med lab. She looked around for Dante, having seen him stalk off earlier, but didn't see him as she made her way to the back entrance in the school. No matter, she would catch him on a different time. Right now, she had her team to check on.

Kris'd felt the affect of the sonic boom, but hadn't really experienced it's consiquences as bad as some of the others had. My my, she's sure a box of fireworks, Kris commented to himself about Kat, considering he had neither Ana, nor Veronika here to gossip with- and Tia darling was a bit too far away from him- and gossip and comments weren't supposed to be screamed out loud- they were supposed to be passed around, quietly, while the source remained unknown! That was the fun of it- that was the beauty of it.
To distract himself from his isolation- Kris looked over at Kevin, only to see he was getting a bit tooo close and perhaps even a little... flirty? With the New Mutant- Chupasomething. Kris had to admit himself, the short hair looked a lot better than the original... whatever hairstyle his hair was, but personally, Kris did not find himself attracted to that boy; and oh, now that he thought about it, he didn't even seem to be the slightest bit... upset- was it? at the way in which Kevin was with him... hmm. Normally Kris would've felt rather insecure, but right now he felt absolute nada, except the slight concern for his friend, because it seemed to Kris that Chupasomething had the biggest crush on Dear Heather.
Kris was rather shocked he hadn't run after darling Heather while she went to the Med Lab- but oh, maybe it was just Kris who was letting his imagination get the best of him. "Oh! Kevin, love?" Kris called out, standing from his beach chair, "Could you please watch Veronika's seat? Tia and I really should go pay Heather darling a visit, she looked like she was in quite a lot of pain!" Okay, so maybe Kris didn't need to state the purpose of his departure- but, if he wanted to prove his theory on Cupasomething right in his head, he had to test it- and he'd also used his words to beckon Tia.

You couldn't get once peaceful moment at this school, could you?
Tia was underwater at the time of... whatever'd happened. As far as she was aware, she'd just been complimented by Chase for pranking him somehow- which had left her really confused, but some things then began to fit in as Nightcrawler went over to have a little chat with Lymited-Ink, who Tia then realized was probably the source of the commotion. She still didn't know what it was that'd caused so many people to be rushed to the med lab- but seem'd like they were severly hurt.
Tia was simply floating near the far end of the pool when she heard Kris call out for her. Normally, Tia would've just given him a look, because he'd ordered her, instead of asking her. Tia didn't like taking orders- but just this one, she'd make an exception, because she was curious as to what had happened. Not really because she was one for gossiping or anything- but more-so because she wanted to know, a) what her fellow team-mate was capeable of with her tattoos, and b) how to build up defenses for something like this, incase it happened again.
Tia came out of the water, increasing the wind speed around her to semi-dry herself. She picked up a long t-shirt which reached just above her knees and pullet it over her head, and also grabbed her denim shorts and popped them on- over her swimsuit. She wasn't one to strut around in her swim suit unless she absolutely had to, had to. "Lets go," she stated simply at Kris, following Veronika's lead (rather late) to the mansion.
