Haven was trying to be cool and calm about the whole thing as Ian led her over to his desk, but it was a bit much to ask of her. Splice was no longer her issue. In fact it was more just an irritating thing with her, she was as bubblyand energetic as Katana was annoying and depressing and her whole 'wild and crazy gal' routine was funny at first but after an hour of lunch.... where she had no restraints to speak of and all she did was talk and cackle nonstop, and flitter around like the social butterfly of the world .... well, Niki had just had her fill. Then the Paragon pirates arrived and Niki shook her head.
No, Splice was no longer on her mind. Her focus was again on one Miss Prim and Proper Heather McCarthy, 'The Blond-Dumbshell'. The only girl who would be so fluff headed enough to cop a squat on Niki's guy. The fact that she was that stupid to sit on Ian was testament to every dumb blond joke ever written. It might have been the only thing that saved her from the ass kicking of her life just then too.
That ...and the fact that Haven's Team Leader was the teacher, were the only two things that were saving Aqua from a serious case of 'choking on her own teeth' syndrome. "You serious Aqua? You skanky bitch... You really that stupid?" Niki said to her "I mean for what it's worth I have been cool with you for a while now, do you really want to go back to the way it was?"
She put the schedules she was to post up around the school down on the desk and stole a quick glance at Colossus. Seeing him completely aware of what was going on she settled on not being able to bust Heather a chop, but still she wanted to. She would have, had it been a few months ago, but Niki had come so far since then and didn't want to throw away all she had built for herself here. "Get your head on straight girl. Our guys are good friends, so that means we gonna see a lot of each other. If you make it a chore for me to be around you, I will be more than happy to tie your stupid asshole in a knot every chance I get, we clear?"

"Can you blame me for just trying to sit next to my boyfriend?" she asked to the three Acolytes. "Ian was in the way." Heather played it cool, even though she did just happen to sit on Ian without realizing that he was right there. Hey she was really happy at the moment and not even Haven could piss her off. Of course Haven was the total opposite and it seemed nothing but being alone with Ian was her way of being happy. She shrugged it off and sighed. "Chill out a bit," she said calmly to Haven before giving Gavin a quick kiss on his lips. "See you after class," she winked back and then looked to Haven. "Sorry I bothered you," she finished only to head to her usual seat.
Haven use to bother Heather immensely, and she really didn't understand the Latina's problem was. She had the temper of an inbred pitbull and that wasn't a good thing. But Heather's good mood made her see that Haven just needed to be kept calm. Hence why Heather didn't bother to touch Ian back after his "tap"; it would have only made the bitch more upset. Course the bitch was already irritated at the new addition to their team and Splice seemed to be a really nice person. Definitely out there but cool. She made sure all of her supplies were with her and thought about the assignment. Heather was excited since Art was her most favorite class.

"ARG!!!! YA THINK YA WON THE BATTLE BARBOSA BUT TIS THE WAR YE HAVE LOST!!" Lian lunged the wooden sword right to Sky's left thigh before bursting out laughing. "Dude we should have totally been pirates!!" Lian was actually happy Sky's brother was in the school. Even thought Lian wasn't a children person at all, Austin was an up and coming awesome dude. Thankfully he wasn't an annoying five year old who wanted milk or crayons or whatever five year olds wanted. Maybe gameboys or something?, she thought at the last second. Shrugging it off, Lian started bopping her head to the song playing. "Colossus man, you gotta play 'Walk on the Wild Side'," she said immediately. It was one of her all time favorite songs, plus it was her and Sky's theme song and Lian always blasted it in their room with Sky's iPod speakers.
Seeing Kat, Lian's eyes lit up. "Oh my God Kat, you need to do a matching tat for me and Sky. We were talking about this since like freaking day one of meeting each other," she said excitedly to the tattoo master. She then looked to Sky and shook her shoulders. "We can actually get it done now!! TO FREEDOM!" she said while raising an imaginary glass to her hand. It was an inside joke with her best friend. And anyone who watched Pirates of the Caribbean would know what they were talking about. If there was one movie the two Paragons quoted, it was that one (since Johnny Depp was gorgeous). Ugh what a hottie, Lian drooled. Taking her sword again, Lian smacked Sky on the back of her blond head and ran to her seat. "Ye'll never catch me!! I'm on the Black Pearl!! AHAHAHHAHAH!!"

Dodging Sky and Lian's swordplay, Riker slipped into the room shaking his head with slight laughter at their antics. His eyes scanned the room falling upon people here and there. His eyes filled with mischief at the cute little goth number sitting next to Gavin, that lucky bloke. After spotting K'8 sitting by herself, he whistled the famous whistle that any New Mutant would recognize. "Oui Kate, save me the seat by you," he said with a wink to his favorite strategist. Many were scared of her and he knew a fair few still blamed her for Limbo and the death of two of their classmates, but Riker was a realist on those issues. She had as much blame as anyone else that was in Limbo and he did not take it lightly when he heard words against her spoken in his presence.
He moved and leaned down in the space that separated her and Splice's desks. "Afternoon lassies, ya both look just as delectable now as ye did at lunch," he said winking at both of them. He liked Splice, he spoke to her briefly but caught how easily she made herself comfortable with most people, and speaking to them all excitedly and precisely at lunch. She'd be a good edition, but his eyes were on someone else he wouldn't mind getting to know a little bit.
"So Kat lass, ye were tellin' me 'bout those fresh tattoos ye had done this morning. And I believe ye were promisin' me one as well. Don't tell me ye forgot now," Riker said with a roguish smirk. His hair fell into his face as he leaned in to whisper in her ear. "Ye have yet ta tell me where some o' the more interestin' tattoos may be love. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it would take much more than that ta kill a wolf. And even a Kat like you eh love?" He moved away from her ear with the same roguish look on his face.

Kevin loved it here at this school. He had freinds and he was one of the kids who people knew they could count on. He made himself that way, he wasn't at all like that when he first got here. The thing of it was he just ketp on trying and more trying and he lisetned to what he was told and practiced and aplyed it in his life. He knew Niki would come around to liking Splice, he could see them becomming friendly and it was a good thing he saw in her, she had changed too since she first got here.
Well, since the first time Hardlight had seen her at any weight. She had really chilled out and it was a good thing she did, because he knew she would have probubly chopped Aqua's head off with the sharp edge of her forcefield if she had'nt changed to be more melowed. As Hether walked away from his team mates , probubly knowing better than to make Haven madder he thought he heard a car pull up out in the cortyard.
He got up out of his seat and looked down out of the window to see what was going on. The best thing about this place is all the going and comings on- er uh the comings and goings on? Well, people showing up, and it's funny to see everybody come on to each other too, unless it's Kris coming onto me- uggh. He's cute and all, but he's more like a 'sister'. Yeah, he is but who is - he ketp his eyes on the cortyard and the yellow cab -is that? Oh my god? "Hey everybody you'll never guess who-"
He pointed to Aqua and started singing "Your boyfrineds back and your gonna be in trouble- hey la heyla your boyfrends back." He started to giggle and anoutced "Its Jumper you guys, look he's back. Sorry Aqua I coulndn't resist." As he watched for a second more he saw him looking a little lost but with his same rogueish good looks, but still he had those weird buttons on him.
Maybe it's just a checkup from Doc MCoy, but he's got a bag so maybe he's staying the night or longer? Kevin wondered. He didn't hate the guy, but he was sorta rude. The thing was though after losing Guardian to see another person from the past was lifting to his spirits.

Following up in the rear, Mato entered the class silently as always, moving towards the back after bowing to Colossus solemnly. He made his way to the back of the class, taking his seat next to K'8. He liked her a lot despite her heritage. She was another person that he wished could see what he saw. Many times he watched the giraffe next to her move with a melancholy and shying away as if ashamed. Mato could only wish that she would see that indeed she does have a soul and one that was good and kind. She had the gift of catching the details far and near and also possessed the gift of looking far ahead into the future. Her soul was as pure as her father was evil, and he hoped that one day she would see that as well.
"Good Afternoon," Mato said softly to her as he sat at the next desk over to her. After smiling at her for a moment, his eyes moved to look around the room and take everything in. Art was a revered talent among his people, for that simple fact that art came in many forms: the art of a carpenter building canoes and furniture, the art of a gardener caring for the nature it helped bring from the Earth, the art of a warrior in every move they made, the art of a painter making images come to life with a simple brush and liquid color, and finally the art of a sculptor using their hands to mold a new shape that tells as much a story as any image. He appreciated all forms of them and took great pleasure watching those who shared a passion for it work.
Mato could spend hours sitting on the side quietly while watching Colossus work in his garden, or StormHawk play the guitar. He was fascinated whenever he caught Aideen in her morning exercises as he waited to greet the morning sun, or watch Mason clean his guns and practice shooting targets. All those were different forms of art and deserved as much admiration and appreiciation as any painting or sculpture. This class exposed the more basic form, but he enjoyed it nonetheless.

Ariel made her way into class, her happy smile still on her face as she was continuing to have a good day. She decided to go to art class because she was in a good enough mood to and needed to pass the time because she was very eager for when the class would end. That, and she had done the assignment as well and needed to turn it in to get her usual good grades.
After giving Colossus her cheery smile and a nod she headed to the back of the class and took a seat at the table near Mato. "Hey Mato," she greeted him with her smile as she started taking out the things she needed for class. She couldn't help glancing at the clock for a few seconds as she calculated how long it would be until she could run off to the garage and her car. Her things were already packed as she had plenty of clothes and it was just for a couple days away and a few other things.
She looked from the clock to Mato again and leaned over to tap his shoulder for his attention after he was done talking to the younger girl. "You ready to go after class? I wanna get out of here as fast as possible, camp as long as we can, you know?" she said with a grin and a small laugh. She really was quite looking forward to getting out, but because she was in class after she would get an answer she would then work on focusing on what would be going on in class.

"I was?" Kat asked Riker with a fake but cute confused look before smirking. "Oh aye, that's right I was, weren't I?" she said, giggling a little as he leaned closer to whisper in her ear. Her blue eyes moved to look at him with a devious smirk on her face before she then said, "I won't be tellin' ye anything boy, ye wanna know ye gotta find out for yerself." She winked at him and nudged him a little with her shoulder playfully. "Ye just gotta let me know when ye wanna find out is all, mate," she said to him with another giggle.
She glanced round the class as it was slowly filling up and had to laugh at Sky and her pirate talk. "Ye be doin' fine girly, but yours needs a wee bit more work," she said, speaking to Sky first and then to Lian. "By the way, ye landlubber you, the Black Pearl be fictional, why if Jack Sparrow was real, I'da have brought him to me own locker, let alone Davy Jones'! Oh aye, locked in me locker with me and I'd have my way with him, aye I would.....sexy piece o' pirate," she said with a dreamy sigh.
She turned her head quickly enough to see the Mini-giant dump the Bubblehead off his lap and she had to laugh heartily at that. Silly girly, sitting on his lap like that, just to be next to my pretty songbird.. she seems extremely touchy feely with him....they weren't like that just last class, I be wonderin' bout that....alas it matters not to me, I will still be havin' me fun, that be for damned sure, she thought as she watched things, amused before looking at Gavin with a grin. "I'll be lookin' forward to later, my pretty songbird," she said, batting her eyelashes at him with a cute smile, "Aye, ye'll sing me a song and we'll discuss your tat, maybe I'll even stick it to ye real good if we get it the way ye like," she continued, her grin growing more mischievous.

There was nothing more that Piotr could do than smile at the class and greet them all accordingly. He was happy that one of the students from the past was back. It reminded him that despite the hard times and watching people from this large disfunctional mutant family leave, sometimes for good, no one was ever truly gone. Some left for their own reasons, but eventually made their way back to them. When they did, Piotr's heart swelled with joy at seeing them back at the place they all called home.
"Alright everyone, please settle down. I know some of you are very excited about starting a new project," Piotr said to them and waited for everyone to get settled. "I want to first say congratulations all of you on the 'Ancient World' projects. I was most impressed with your work. Your grades are already posted on the bulletin board. You may all see them later, but first a word about the new project we are starting this week. As many of you see, we have a 1960s Hippie Counterculture motif in the works." He stood up and began walking around the class. "The counterculture was all about free expression. It was a time when people explored new angles on every part of the culture, including art. They used bold colors in painting, made unique sculptures and for the first time ever practice new and unique ways to make art. This next project I call the 'Freedom of Soul'. For the next couple of weeks, we will all do absolutely any kind of art that we like. Whether it be finger painting, or blindly sculpting clay, it will all be acceptable. For this project, instead of pretending that you are all archeologists and are looking for their ideal ancient treasure, we will all adapt the nature of the Hippie Counterculture, pretending it is the Summer of Love and the overwhelming urge to express ourselves artistically. Whether it be writing a song," he said smiling at Gavin. "Or painting a unique work of art, it must be something that comes purely from you and unprejudiced by any rules of society or boundaries."
With a smile, Colossus waved his hand to signal them to begin. "You may all begin work now, and please use the caution we learned the first class of the term," he said setting them loose. He sat on the desk and picked up his sketchpad, waiting for them all to begin and keeping an eye on them to supervise them when they started.

When Colossus was done Katie turned and looked at Mato, blinking as she did. "Uh hi? Good afternoon to you too, how ya been TrueSpirit?" she smiled gratefully at him for having the kindness to speak to her. She liked him quite a lot, since she had been helping Iceman with his classes she'd gotten to understand a bit more about how everybody's powers worked and she really liked what she knew about his.
It seemed that he was so very much at peace with everybody around him, maybe because he knew who they really were...in a way. She couldn't help but hear what the electric Hotwire had said and was herself of course dying for conversation and details. "You guys are going camping??? Wow, that sounds like fun." she said as everybody began to mill about and start in on their art assignments. "Who's all goin?" she cocked her head to the side a bit with that question.

Sky's eyes went wide as she got an instant idea in her head. "Colossus man you ROCK!" she said to him and then turned to Lian. "Dude you're gonna help me. I so know what I'm doing." She grabbed Lian and pulled her out of the seat, running over to grab one of the largest canvases available. She pulled it over to the area completely covered in clear wrap and newspapers to keep it clean. Growing up with an artist for a mom, she had a lot of experience with creative stuff to do, but she mostly used it for mischief and mayhem instead of something productive.
"Okay here's the plan," Sky began and then stripped off her shirt so she was only in a sports bra and took off her cargo pants off and stood there in a pair of boy shorts. she threw her clothes on the side and stood next to the canvas. "Grab the paint and pour it all over me," Sky said and spread her arms out and shut her eyes tight as she waited for the impact.

A thoughtful expression crossed Jocelyn's face, making her quiet for the first time in awhile. Her fingers went to her purse and she opened it up to take out a professional looking camera that was large and looked almost old fashioned. She was never one for painting unless it involved flavored body paint on some hot little sex pot of a girl. What she did like was take pictures, and damn good ones too. Pictures she had taken were hung all over the school. It was the one method of contact she had with the school in any way the last couple of years, by sending pictures of Atlantis to the school.
Jocelyn looked up from checking her film's camera at the cute little goth girl's question. "You're going camping?? Oh awesome!" She said excitedly. I'm so there! she thought with a giggle and clicked her film in place before closing up the camera. She got out of her chair and moved to the side of the room to find an angle for a good picture. "Now that's a nice angle," she said with a smile as she captured an amazing shot of the cute blonde girl with the gigantic rack, here eyes shut tight and a smile on her face as her hands were held out and the paint was in mid air right toward her. "Groovy baby," Joce said with a giggled and then moved around to get more angles of the class and their projects, choosing the objects and angles of focus carefully.

Ian's head whipped around when Colossus finished speaking. He looked from Kevin and then back to his girl as an uncharacteristic smirk came on his face. "Well whaddaya know babe, Jumpdick is back. You think we should welcome him properly? Or will he piss his too tight pants and go run to his mama?" he mocked and then laughed swinging his arm around his girl. "We oughta be good hosts and give 'im the welcome he deserves huh babe?" Ian nuzzled her ear and nipped the soft skin around her earring. He still owed that guy a good talking to of his own. Rumble may have gotten one of his harshest 'talks' but ol' Jumpdick had one a long time coming.
He got up from his seat, trailing his large hands over Niki's shoulders as he stood, and went over to get a big glop of sculpting clay from the fridge and placed it on the table. "Oh man I'm so stoked for this," he said with smile and rubbed his hands together before mashing it in the grey clay. He wanted to make a big psychedelic tree and then put all kinds of crazy stuff on it. "Hey Gavin man, we still on for tonight? That diner makes the best burgers man, and the biggest sundaes ever," he said with a shining look in his eyes at the thought of glorious food. "Bring Blondie along if ya want, we can double date instead of the three of us just chilling," Ian offered with a sidelong glance at Niki.

"OH freaking genius!!" Lian said enthusiasically. She immediately went to the pain closet and took every color she could get her hands on. It was the 16oz. bottles but that was fine for what she and Sky planned to do. Lian took off her army jacket and threw it on her desk. Grabbing the purple paint first, she walked in front of Sky and opened the cap and squirted it all over her front. "freaking fake boobs," she said with a smirk. She then overhead Kevin announcing Jumper's return.
Holy shit seriously!?!? What has the douche been up to? Jumper use to be a really chill dude. But then his whole personality changed and Lian and Sky just left him alone. If Heather and Jumper actually got together, that would have been interesting, she pondered. Retuning her attention to Sky, Lian grabbed the green and squirted it all over her best friend's back. "Make sure you get some hand prints in there too, not just boob impressions!" It was then Lian's turn to pitch in as she took the red and make her own body a canvas.

The teacher didn't answer Yoora's question right away because mere moments after she asked it, the energetic blue girl from lunch came bolting through the door and jumped on top of him, hugging him, and talking a mile a minute. The girl had no sooner finished with him then she almost collided into Yoora as she dove across the Gavin and Kat's desks while singing loudly to "Bab O'Riley," the WHO song that had just come on the stereo. While Yoora was normally quite polite the whole scene was astonishing, something more out of a movie than a school, and she quite unconsciously let her mouth hang wide open in surprise, not noticing the young goth girl who had come in moments before the Atlantean.
She was about to repeat her comment to the teacher, when another girl came in and started yelling at the Atlantean to stop acting like the center of the universe and be quiet. They certainly don't lack for drama here, she thought. I better just go find a quiet corner where there aren't so many people. If I don't I'll get nothing done in class and I'm already behind, starting so late in the semester. Still it would be rude to walk away before giving the teacher a chance to answer her question and give her any instructions he had for her as a new student, so she did not go off yet, but waited. It's all pretty entertaining. I'll never be bored, for sure., she thought as more students came through the door and the winged boy and one who looked like a quarterback started singing along with the blue girl.
Yoora had been so distracted by the singing and laughter that she had missed Haven snarling at Heather the first time. She almost missed it again as Sky and Lian came bursting into the room fighting with their wooden swords and shouting to each other in pirate talk. But even over the Paragons' banter, Haven's cold tone and threats to Heather could be heard. That's kind of more like high school., she thought.
Ah, well, it's not my issue and this art room is amazing. Just look at all the amazing stuff, she thought as she eyed a huge easel and canvas at the back of the room with longing. I really hope we get to paint today. That canvas would be perfect to cover the whole view from our house. He'd {her Great Uncle} love a painting of that. Or maybe we'll do portraits and I can paint him one of Grandma. she thought, before noticing the sculpting tools and letting her mind wander again. Ooh...forget painting, sculpture would be awesome! Stepping gingerly out of the way of the wooden sword fighters, Yoora moved to the side and then straightened out her purple jumper. In the one moment of calm, since she'd entered the class she got her answer from the teacher and started to move to the back of the class to find an empty seat.
The back of the class, however, was pretty popular as a procession of students entered and made their way there, while one of the boys in the front was singing "your boyfriend's back" and causing a commotion over somebody named Joker or Jumper or Jack, or something like that coming back to school. Standing near the back until the new arrivals, the wolfish boy Yoora had heard called Riker, and two older students, a boy and a girl she did not recognize, had sat down, Yoora grabbed one of the few remaining seats as the teacher called for everybody to sit down and began explaining the assignment. Cool. We can do whatever we want. I'm going for that big canvas and I'll paint the whole valley. Uncle will be so happy with it., she thought as she pictured her finished masterpiece being hung over the mantel. The fact that she was not a particularly good artist didn't even begin to enter into her mind.
Already looking intently at the canvas and hoping nobody else would take it, Yoora looked forward even more intently when the kids around her started talking about a camping trip. It was not polite to eavesdrop but in these close quarters she couldn't help hearing so she looked intently away to hide that fact. Of course, the universe has an ironic sense of humor and so right between her and the canvas one of the wooden sword fight girls stripped to her underwear, again causing Yoora's mouth to hang open in shock. She's stripping in class! Now I know I must be sleeping. Hmm. Maybe I can fly like Superman or something now. Of course she was kidding around in her mind. She was quite well aware she was awake, even if this place seemed coolly surreal. It's all good because she isn't taking my canvas., she thought single mindedly.
Curious as to what would happen next, Yoora did not turn her eyes away and laughed somewhat when the blue girl took out a camera and started snapping pictures of one of the other students and the other wooden sword girl sprayed purple paint all over Sky's front. Turning to Kate she asked between giggles, "Is it always this wild?"
