A smirk came across Veronika's face as she watched Kevin at work, just like she showed him. What she was able to accomplish with or without her power was an art, and she showed only glimpses to others on how to try some of her art. "Practice today was different, and to be honest, she was not very useful. I was rather annoyed that she tried to act as Sky's accomplice at one point. Sky does not need any help in causing a stir and insulting people, she can do that all on her own," she said with a scoff as she sat in front of her vanity that was spread with perfumes, makeup, lotions, and hair products. "Honestly, there is a reason why Sky has the job of creating a distraction, because she can handle it. And then that girl interferes and look what happened, she got herself injured and made herself useless for the rest of practice. This is what happens when an Outsider disrupts the way our team does things."
She took the lily out of her hair and brushed it out to put it in some other style. "I'm sorry, but she does not belong on the Paragons. She is not one of us, and more than just not being an original member. She comes from a far different world than any of us, and our world and her world just do not mix. Now look at Tia, Kris, and myself. We are all from extremely wealthy family, and we have very particular strengths that do not rely fully on our powers. Then there are the others, who are all from extremely poor families, and also have strengths that do not rely solely on their powers. We all use all our strengths together in a way that compliments each other. The extreme differences and similarity of our lifestyles work together harmoniously. Frostbite though, she does not meet any of the criteria. She is a middle class girl who's only strength is her power. There is no room for someone like that on our team." Veronika was not shy to express her opinion to her dearest friends about just about anything. She made sure that they would never use her words against them.
Turning on her little stool, she looked over at Tia as she teased her hair a bit. "Now explain to me again why you are friends with her. Honestly Tia, she's so much older than you, what could you possibly have in common with her? You are not even from the same class of people. And sharing a bathroom is not a viable excuse for a so called friendship. Really Tia she is far too frivolous for you to ever be logically friends with," Veronika said with a slight scoff and looked around at the group with a raised eyebrow. "Am I not right?"

Heather wasn't surprised to hear about everyone's opinions on Lorelai. Of course she had no problem with the new Paragon anymore because they sort of settled their thing when she gave her a stupid sketch of her with Ian. She wondered if Lorelai kept it since they broke up about two days later. Heather felt bad for Lorelai since she started to act a bit weird and crazy. Hanging out with Rumble wasn't something the New Mutant would have advised to anyone and lets face it, the dude was just freaking scary.
"I'm sure she tried somewhat," she defended to Veronika. "Was she that bad? I mean maybe she is having a hard time adapting to a new team. It was like that for all of us when we first joined." However Heather made Veronika's point right there. Lorelai already had experience on a team. Transferring to a new one wasn't really any different except having new teammates. It wasn't like Lorelai was meeting them all for the first time. When it came to her own team, Heather and Jasper were right below Riker and they were pretty close. The New Mutants were definitely a family and able to handle many of the challenges they faced. Heather worked hard for that position and planned to keep it to make Riker, her team and herself proud.
Laying down on her bead, Heather sighed and cuddled with her pillow. "What do you think Tia?" she asked. "Was Lorelai really that bad?" She wasn't putting off what Veronika said at all. It was just that Heather liked to get a bunch of opinions before making her own.

Tia raised both her eyebrows and looked from Heather to Veronika. I've never really thought about that... she pressed her lips together to form a thin line. "Er- Frosty wasn't too bad, it was her first practice, she's getting used to the team..." she said fairly, "Though, uh, yea- she shouldn't have jumped in at the Sky bit. I found that a bit odd too." Tia shrugged, "Everyone knows that Sky's good with that kind of thing." Tia shrugged again, dropping the pillow on the bed.
"But uh yea- Veronika, Frosty and I just... became friends. It is because we share a bathroom," Tia sighed. Her and Frostbite's friendship didn't have any form of logic behind it, they were friends cause they just were, they weren't friends on the same level as Veronika and Tia were, but they were friends. "I dont know, there is no explanation. I know it might seem weird, but that's just how it is." Tia bit her lip, "She's not as close to me as you people are, but she's still a friend. I don't mind her company from time to time."
Tia stretched her legs out in front of her, "See, i'm not going to ask any of you guys to be nice to her or be friends with her," Tia said laying down on her back, and bending a knee into a arc and turning her head to face Veronika. "Plus, she seems to be too busy with her new friends now a days, so I don't see much of her anyway." Tia's voice was emotionless as she said it, and truth be told, no form of disappointment churned inside her either. She honestly didn't mind if Frosty spoke to her or she didn't- she'd always known that her and Frosty were two completely different people, and they came from two completely different worlds as well. Tia rolled her eyes at her thought and looked over at the others, "So, uh, Kris- what did you think of the perfume?" Tia didn't really care- she just wanted the conversation to move on.

"OowwWwhhHhhhhaaaHh y-ye-yea-yeah. It's.... am-am-amazing." Kris's head was spinning as the scent hit his nostrils, and Kevin's throat was just inches away from his mouth. He kept his hand hard pressed over the pillow that lay on his crotch- the distance between them was so little, that Kris could've just thrown himself over Kevin and kissed him. Right there, right now. But he resisted, as Kevin moved away he shut his eyes, trying to calm his raging hormones down. Kris missed around half the conversation that'd gone on in the room.
When he vaguely returned to his senses, he figured that they were now speaking about Frostbite. He didn't really feel any serious pull from the topic, his mind was floating on how close Kevin had been to him like a minute ago. Oooooooohhhh. Oh lord! Help me! This isn't good... oh... oh my... oh... Kris was pressing hard down on the pillow, taking quick sharp breaths to calm himself down. "Veronika... hon... you better give these people a good review about this perfume. I swear, it's like... like... Heaven."
Kris sighed, staring at the tiled floor to calm himself down instead, "Ehem, ehem... so... Frostbite yes? What are we saying about her? What was that about her and new friends? Hmm? Yes?"

"Tia really, now come on, I share a bathroom with Onyx and we are sure not friends and if you think a bathroom is all you have in common then that is kinda-" Kevin grined as he said it "a shitty friendship." He giggled a bits and then looked at the wind manipolater an said "You do know what it says about that freindship of yours? It says that you decided to be nice to her so she would clean the bathroom? I know cause she told me that you said to her it's her job to do it since she makes it mesy in there. I had to laff at that a little when she tolds it me then because the look on her face, but you mabey right since she did'nt have a room mate and you came after her so it might have been mesy when you got here."
He did'nt want to let the subject change. Kevin was still a little biter that Frotsbite had droped him as a friend. He was proud of himself for telling her to get herself right in her own head and all before she came crawling back to him, and that he actualy ended the friendship the way he did. Veronika had been so right about her and Kevin finaly saw the truth of he words when Loarali ditched him for a nite out with the Helions. It had hurt him very deep and he wanted to keep her as a friend and even though he was a fool to have her be his friend in the first place like Veronika had said, but not in such a hardish way, he still did'nt want to end it so badly.
He tried to think why it was again that he had decided to be her best freind but it was sort of like a lost dream to him. When he was with the girls in Veronika's room he did'nt want to think about it he just wanted to let things be left alone. And let dust settel so he could relax. It was a lot of fun and he was glad since he did'nt have to pretend to be anything here tath he did'nt or would'nt want to be. He took a deep breath waiting for the answer to his questin and looked at Kris having a 'hard' time. "Aww, you Ok over there?" he said with still that giggle in his voice. He was enjoying this little game with Kris and more he was enjoying showing off for Veronika to see how well he learned her lessons.

Veronika quirked a perfectly sculpted eyebrow and folded her arms across her voluptuous chest. "Right, like the Hellions will ever accept her into their group. Rumble would never take her seriously, even if she is throwing herself at him. It is like I keep saying, Rumble is of higher class, he has wealth, breeding, ambition, and power. He sees Frostbite as nothing more than one of those common whores that he goes through the way one changes their underwear. I have known men like him most of my life, grown up around them and watched how they went through life," she said in her cute blunt manner.
"He is someone to keep my eye on in the future. Rumble is quite... ambitious, but still extremely handsome, and his background is just as impressive." Veronika knew she would be getting weird looks at that and began giggling cutely, her sapphire blue eyes blinking at the sweetly. "Oh come now, say what you want about him but none of us can deny that he is irresistibly handsome. And let us face it, he is going to use Frostbite to his liking and then toss her like a used tissue. How she cannot see that is beyond me," She said with a shrug.
Veronika was applying a fresh coat of flavored lip gloss, popping her full perfectly shaped lips. "I did mean to ask you all, what did we miss yesterday? I told you all about the amazing day that Heather and I had and I completely forgot to ask you what happened while I was missing. I did miss our Thursday movie nights," she said inspecting her face at an angle in the mirror.

Tia blinked at Kevin, giving him a look that clearly stated that whatever he'd just said was pretty much gibberish to her. "No Kevin, I'm not friends with Frosty so I can have her clean the bathroom." Tia stared at Kevin for a moment longer and then turned to look at Veronika. Tia honestly thought that there was something wrong with the people in this room. First Kevin reckoned that Tia was friends with Frosty so she could have Frosty 'clean up her mess'. And now Veronika's saying Rumble's hot? Tia tried her best not to think about it. This was so.... odd.
She sighed - out of relief - when Veronika changed the topic to the previous evening. Her sigh of relief almost immediately turned into a shudder. "Uh- Iceman's class was okay, three quarters of the way through the lesson StormHawk took of into the air with Taffy and the two of them landed in the lake. Then everyone went to the lake and started messing about." She bit her lip, as the image of her former team mate, ready to kill Rumble formed in her mind. She shuddered again, closing her eyes for a couple of moments and then opening them again. "And then something happened, and the next thing we all knew was... that Ember was standing over Rumble with... some kind of fire dagger inches away from his throat." She shuddered, not being able to continue, it really was a very crazy evening, but honestly speaking, despite whatever Tia must've thought, she'd forgotten all about it after team practice.

"OH JESUS CHRIST! I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!" Kris yelled, jumping up where he sat as he looked frantically at everyone in the room. His eyes were wide with fear as he stared at Veronika and Heather, "You two are so lucky you weren't there! That image is truly frightening! Oh my, I swear if I shut my eyes i'll be able to visualize it like it was really happening. I've never ever seen Ember loose control like that before! She was... oh my, she was like an angel from hell!"
Kris hugged himself, his body moving in a weird manner as he tried to calm himself down. "My she was nearly about to kill Rumble! Thank goodness Iceman stepped in- one more second and she would've killed him! I'm not even joking! Oh my! It was... my it was something." Kris took a deep breath and then his eyes moved over to Kevin, "D'you remember it? We were standing together one second talking, and the next, BfOoM! They were there, Ember hissing some stuff which we couldn't hear." Kris sighed, leaning back towards head-board. "I'm gonna have nightmares tongiht." Wanna sleep next to me to keep me save Kevin o'sweets?

Just like the rest of the group, Heather looked at Veronika bug eyed. "We are talking about the same Rumble right?" she asked incredulously. "Big blond guy, scary, wants to like kill everyone because he can... that Rumble?" She shook her head and scoffed. "Yeah no. I would rather be in a room with Haven for life than him. At least I know I could probably live." She shuddered along with Tia and stroked her hair back. Yeah not a good guy... at all.
Hearing about Rumble and Aideen, Heather wasn't surprised that Aideen tried to tell him off again. But finally hearing about her nearly killing him, that was a bit of a shock. He must have really pissed her off for her to go that far. To Heather, Aideen was a great person. Ever since the Brotherhood attack on the school, Heather had always respected and cared for the girl. She was a warrior and definitely someone extremely loyal to her friends and teammates. Even thought Aideen wasn't friendly to pretty much anyone, Heather understood that she was just one to like her privacy and keep to herself.
Laying down on her favorite Marilyn Monroe Headshot pillow, Heather looked to the group and shook her head. "I don't blame her. Aideen can be scary at times but only to people who deserve it."

"Oh uh, sorry" he said softly to Tempest as she rebewked him in a very strong way with the same kind of a look on her face that his mother used to were on her face when she told him that he was not gay. For a second he felt like a child again, like he was eight years old like the moment when he told his parents he was gay. He did not like how he felt inside. He knew the truth then with his mother as he knew the truth now and he knew that Tia and Loralei were friends only because of that bathroom because she admited it right just then, and ONLY because she had Loralie clean it for the weekly walk thorughs that MsForst did with Kitty or Rouge to take notes in the girls dorms and Nitecrawler or Collosus with her in the boys.
He liked inspection days making his bed neat and having his uniform displayed on the bed, with everything spotless clean and all of his clothes in his closet pressed and hanging up in order. It was not even up for discusions about how he helped Frotsbite clean every week and helped her to break her skater ways, he knew Tia was lying but he didn't say anything because he didn't want to make things worst, but he knew they stayed friends because of him. Now that he wasn't cleaning the bathroom for them anymore well, they were be on there own. He shook his head, at how blind some people were.
"Oh, yes!" he said after a minute and al of the excitement of Kris and Tia about the guy that was really kind of hot "Rumble." He knodded fast to keep up with Kris and his frantics of activitys. He giggled a bit at him. "That was realy scarry and I did half sucspect that Embe was going to KILL him, and who could blame her she has been put through it from that guy. You guys, but reeellly if it was just looks" he nodded at Veronika "you all know that Veronika is sooo right, come on admit that."
"I don't care for the man, but that's not real fair because I never even talked to him so who knows, but I guess Loreali is gonna find out sooner or later. Like, I knew this guy back in my old school who was the mainetence man, and well every body called him Janitor Joe, but his name was Henry and he was a nice man and not retarded or a janitor like every one teased him as being." He looked down at his hands and thought back to his old life before he was who he was now. He was quiet and he didn't stand up for himself or for anybody else and even though he knew what was right.
"He told me he had a glass eye and thats why he looked kinda strange. If I never met him and gave him a chance then well maybe he realy would have killed a couple of the jocks like he said he was goin to. But he became my friend because well I didn't have too many people to like me either back then." Kevin shrugged. He had a way of talking to people that was confusing as hell but made them think and he knew what was right and wrong and he always tried to help, even when he didn't like sombody a lot.
"So mabey Rumble just needs sombody to listen or I don't know just not -" he looked up from his hands that he was sittng there looking into becasue he felt eyes on him and he saw everybody wide eyed and "What? I'm rambling huh, well sorry but I guess- I just" he looked at Tia and stood up. "I'm a little out of sorts actualy because, well YOU don't even realy know why you're freinds with Loralie? Really!?! I remember it like it was yesterday when it happened that you came into the bathroom and said 'eeew it's a bit shabby luv' come on you don't? I knew what you meaned though because it was just that she didn't have to share the room with any body and her stuff was kinda spread out but you made her feel funny and I helped her clean that bathroom every week since. And so you say you're friends with her over that bathroom? You don't even know about that bathroom!" Kevin's voice had raised, and he didn't yell to offen if ever realy.
"Whew" he sighed out. He lowered his pointing trembuling hand he had'nt even realised he was pointing at Tia but now he saw he was. "Wow." he took a minute and then he smiled as he collected himself. "Thanks for letting me get that off ofa my chest, because it has been bugging me. So the respect you had for her and the respect and sharing of space that you built your friendship on was all from me and my work in that room. I don't want to mess you up, but you need to know that-"
Kevin had a right to be mad, he had put a lot of time and effoert into his friendship with Frostbite and he was mad that she ditched him for some stupid bunch of college kids that she would never fit in with. He hated her right then for almost getting him killed in Limbo, but he had forgiven her for that so he pushed it out of his heart. He was better than that. He was better than her, she had clung to hatred and he would not go down that path, that was a slippery slope.
"-That you and her don't even have that bathroom in common, eccept that you both pee in there, so enjoy it because I'm not coming to clean it for her- well, for you I guess since she always made me do it, and don't even say you helped because just spraying that stuff on the walls does'nt get down on your hands and knees and scrub. That's how good a friend I was to her and she left me so-" he started to sniffle. He was rambling because he was so upset and it had been pushed down for too long now. It was not Kevin's way to hold back, any body who knew him knew that, and so he let it out. But he didn't cry much or long then he said "She's not worth these tears. So yeah, have fun with her guys, she's pretty selfish and she will use you if she can, she used Heather to get to Ian." he turned to Aqua then and asked "How did that make you feel?"

"Oh Kevin, darling," Veronika cooed and wrapped her soft petite arms around him in a hug. "It is alright, you do not need her anymore. I always told you that you were above her." They were just about the same height so she was able to comfort him properly. "You do not need her darling, you have us. We are all on different teams, but we all love you so much," she soothed and kept her arm around him. "Besides, that frigid bitch will get what is coming to her. I have known people like Rumble my entire life, the wealthy and elite always run in the same circles. I would not be surprised if my Papa knew his father. Rumble is a very powerful man, and he will teach her what happens when you mess with one above your class," Veronika said with a knowing look in her eyes.
Growing up in the world of the wealthy and powerful was a whole new kind of jungle, and one that very few people in the outside world had even the slightest clue what really went on the that circle. It was a ruthless world that one could only survive in if they were raised how to do so. Those from the outside world that ventured in and involved themselves with those people were in for a very nasty surprise. No matter what the media tried to portray, money and power truly does rule the world. Any little mishap, or even a big mishap could be covered and forgotten with one phone call or one check, sometimes both if need be. No matter what it was, those in that circle could cover anything up.
"Lorelai will get what is coming to her, and she will not come out of it in one piece, that I can guarantee. There are no exceptions to that rule, particularly with Rumble. Look at that ambition that he shows, never giving up to have that Harlot, though why I will never understand. What he sees in her, someone of his caliber looking at that girl that walks around as if she is better than anyone else. I think she needs someone to let her know that she is not as high and mighty as she thinks." Veronika rolled her eyes, thinking of one of her least favorite people in the entire school. "It is disgusting how all the males in this school fall over themselves for her. She just turns her nose at them, and it is refreshing to see that for once that technique just is not working for her with a man as ambitious and smart like Rumble. I do wonder how he will decide to punish her," she said, her eyes taking a different light, for a moment, and a fleeting moment it was.
Veronika kissed Kevin on the cheek and sat up on her lounge chair. "Enough about those vile people, I want to keep this evening pleasant. Now.." She looked over at her pile of DVDs. "What do we watch tonight? I say we watch An Affair to Remember. Cary Grant is so sexy in that movie, it makes me wish I was alive when he was," she said with a dreamy sigh and used the remote to turn on the 24 inch flat screen TV she brought with her when she arrived. It was getting late and their Friday's wouldn't be complete without a romantic movie that had them all sighing dreamily and talking till they all fell asleep.
