"Right now, I'm starting to have a real problem with you buddy," Dante spat as the smirk from watching Liv leave left his face to be replaced with an annoyed snarl. "You gotta be stupid or something cause I don't know another reason for you to keep talkin' to me when the only reason you still got teeth in your mouth was cause of the Doll. Mind your own f*cking business, and that's the last time I'm gonna say that." His fork clinked to the bowl as he went back to finishing the last of the meal. He might just beat the kid's face in on principal at this point, because anyone that acts like a punk should be punished for the sake of it.
Besides, he had been in a damn good mood, deciding that the Liv chick dug okay with her smooth comebacks. It was obvious that the girl was an arrow and not a diver, even if she wasn't the kind that dolled herself up a lot, and he of all people could be appreciative of a sharp tongue. Hell that little comment from the Hispanic Nosebleed over there just showed Dante the kind of sheltered prick he was actually dealing with.
He pointed his fork at Jasper, not even sparing the Hispanic kid a glance. "This punk new or just not all there? Cause this is all just kinda sad," he added before finishing up the last of his plate. He had no idea what he would do after this, seeing as he had nothing planned and he had dropped out of school over a year ago to do any homework or something like that. There was the chance to go to the garage and check out some of the very interesting cars it held though...

After falling into another daydream that centered around the lady in his heart, Jasper was getting tired rather quickly of being pulled out of it being that it was the fourth time in a row. He let out a long sigh and pushed the now empty bowl away from him. "Alex... perhaps it is a little too early for jou to be making anozher enemy. Vait until jou at least have zhe full backing of zhe team, zhat might be a better idea," he said in a low voice to his roommate, giving him a warning look. Truth was that Jasper didn't all together mind Dante, he had friends from home that acted similar, though he was willing to be should any of them meet Dante they'd clam up in fear. The guy had a very intimidating nature about him that seemed to warn all around him of daring to mess with him, similar to how others had in the school. Jasper just knew better than to start trouble with that kid just yet.
"Vell, I do not know about jou, but I am full. Und I also zhink it is high time I worked a bit on mein bike. I have neglected it zhe pass couple o' days," he said getting up and slowly excusing himself. He was apprehensive about leaving Alex alone with Dante, only because he wasn't looking forward to seeing bloodstains in his bathroom again. At the same time, he found that he was incredibly anxious to get to the garage, more so to see those that would be returning after a long weekend away. It had been plaguing his mind for days, and the yearning in his heart was just so great, that it literally tightened his throat at the thought. Still, he took his time as he washed out his dishes, keeping an eye on his roommate and the hood.

"Gracias hermano." Alex said to his room mate as he watched him wash his bowl out. "Yes, and I think if another enemy is to be added to the list then is best for me that he doesn't have girls fighting his battle for him. Since is true a man can be judged by his friends, yes, but also by his enemies no?"
His Latin swagger was as plain as the nose on his face as the obvious taunt was slapped down to trump Dante's last attempt to make him shut up. Alex was on a roll now and even though the warning from Jasper was loud and clear and he understood the consequences he just couldn't back off now. Something in him was not going to allow it. Aside from that he knew inside him he was a beast, or more to the exacting several beasts, and the Paragon would have to do more than act tough to tame the Chupacabra.
He felt the serpent in himself. The quick strike, fast twitch muscles under his skin changing and mutating. It would be a cold day in hell before someone as slow as Dante, fast as he might have been but still not as fast as a snake strike, could lay a hand on him. The only thing that might make matters worse was if it got cold, a cold snap would slow his blood and make him lethargic.
"But whether or not I have the team in my corner, I will still fight for their honor. Because, sad or not my friend," he turned and looked his cold blooded serpent eyes at Dante "I am minding my own business. My team is my business and you are the one who is the new one. It will be for me, a pleasure to catch you up to speed I think." With that Alex let the beast within him take over. Protecting that which he called his own was his driving instinct, and also his self preservation. There was nothing left of 'proving himself' for Jasper's eyes since deep down inside he knew what he was doing was righteous and required.
Dante had gone after one of his team, just earlier by the pool. He was attempting to fortify his position of power over the New Mutants by threat of bodily harm to another, his own room mate, one of the higher ranking in the New Mutant pack. No it was time to knock the tattooed boy down a peg or two, even if it meant he would be hurt in the process. Alex could scarcely be concerned about himself at this point, in fact he knew little more than the heat and the movement as his tongue flicked in and out of his mouth senses sparked to light as Alex, the Chupacabra who was a moment before human and sitting on the stool, threw himself to the floor and reared up a twenty foot long serpent ready to strike.

Of all things to happen, this was just too rich. It started with a flutter, the corner of Dante's lips lifted just for a moment and then fell again before lifting back up. After several moments in which the action repeated, chuckles started to escape him, and the chuckles didn't stop there. It was a rare thing for Dante to chuckle, let alone laugh, but at this point he felt the chuckles in him turn into a full on laugh. Sure he was surprised at this kid's abilities, but this was just beyond rich. This kid couldn't even step up to him like a man, but like other pussies he had to make himself all big because of his power. Dante used his minimally, if at all, in fights, and this Spic looked so proud cause he could make himself uglier and spewing crap like he was so tough and scary, it just made Dante full on laugh all that much more.
He banged his fist on the table, laughing silently as he felt his stomach contracting from the force of his laughs. Shaking his heads after a couple of minutes, he looked up at the kid/thing and wiped tears from his eyes. "Oh man, I oughta thank you for that, it's been a long time since I had a laugh like that," Dante said shaking his head, smile still on his face. "Lemme tell you something Maricón, you know what I did learn since coming here? That about 2% of population are mutants. How the $^%* do you expect anyone to respect you or see you as anything than a pussy when you step up to someone hiding behind your power like that? You'd think since you are a mutant, you'd wanna be respected not just cause you got that extra gene. I may not turn all big and scary and ugly as you, but sh*t I got more respect for myself than to step up to someone ready to use my powers."
Dante stood up and looked at the serpent like thing with a shake of his head, smile gone from his face as he realized that he'd probably be having to deal with a good number of punks around here that stepped up with their powers and nothing else. "You wanna fight me? Fine, do it like a man, not whatever the %&^* you call this. It's the same as the pathetic vatos that come at you with a gun, cause they too much of a pussy to go on even ground. Until you man up, stay outta my face you pathetic piece of sh*t," Dante spat and looked over at Jasper, dismissing this dork completely at this point. "Let's go German, show me this bike you're talkin' about."

Jasper finished washing with the same bored expression he had on his face when the whole thing started. He had a good idea of how things were going to progress before, and low and behold they did. It was fairly obvious that Dante would most likely laugh in anyone's face that came up to him with their powers ablaze, just because it was plain as day that it was a shield. Guys like the Paragon hood didn't respect or take seriously the kind of behavior that Alex displayed, and if it was obvious enough to Jasper, Alex should have caught on too.
Frankly, he was a little annoyed that Alex didn't leave it alone when he told him to, especially since there wasn't a problem to begin with. Though Dante's words did make a smirk come on his face, he was more annoyed at the situation and right then didn't want to have anything to do with Alex. Instead of showing him any respect not just as a teammate but as a roommate, Alex just had to go ahead and try and look all macho while only making an ass of himself. "Ja, It is my pride, I built it with mein Vater. Come, I vill show jou," he said and threw the towel he used to dry his plates, beckoning for Dante to follow him.
"I cannot ride it yet until I turn eighteen, as zhat is zhe legal age here. I don't care for zhat law zhat I cannot ride it unless I am supervised," Jasper said as they left the kitchen and walked toward the garage. He did stand straighter at the idea of showing off his bike though. "Zhere are ozher bikes at zhe school, but right now it is just mine." The other bikes and their owners was a very big reason that he worked tirelessly to maintain his bike the past couple of months, but that was something for his knowledge only.

To Alex it made little sense that it was all well and good for Dante to use his powers to overwhelm Jaxon but it was not fine for him to stand his ground using his own powers against Dante. This was madness and when the brutish Paragon turned to leave Alex struck. It would have been a cheap shot no doubt, but he didn't bother to sink his teeth into the cur. In the last moment he thought he would simply smash him against the door frame as he was heading out and then recoil, but he did not, his strike pulled back automatically.
His choice was made for him by the overwhelming confusion of the moment. He would not be laughed at nor made to feel inferior by his own actions as they were the same tact that Dante had used, or so he had assumed having not seen it exactly occur, but was Dante perhaps laughing with him, or at himself for his own foolishness even. The very fact that Dante had powers was actually the only reason that Alex knew he was a threat. He certainly didn't look to be that much of a problem to handle and yet Jasper turning to cow-tail to him and become his friend sent a strong message to Alex. Jasper was afraid of Dante, maybe? Since his ears hadn't heard correctly what was said he could only guess and maybe Dante had said he was sorry so Jasper could be his friend.
It was the only explanation he could come up with that quickly and his mind was limited as the reptilian aspect was in charge just then. Actually very little of what was going on registered. Dante taunting him didn't make much sense but the fact that he was leaving before any action took place was too odd so he could only do one thing, revert to his human form. "What the hell is going on there you? I don't get this at all, hold up!" he said pulling his pants back on and scooping up the rest of his clothes as he chased Dante and Jasper down the hall.
"I am totally confused. What just happened?" He fell in stride alongside them both and looked over. "Can somebody explain this crazy place to me? Now you and him are friends? I don't get this, and I didn't catch what you said back there, my ears were too strange to hear right or something. Are we friends now? I just don't understand but friends are good, I could be friends. I mean I saw you laughing, did you apologize or something?" Alex was truly at a loss.

A frustrated sigh escaped Jasper right now, as his annoyance increased by a tenfold. "Zhere was never a problem to begin vith Alex, until jou tried to make one. Stop embarrassing jourself und leave!" he growled at his roommate, who was at this point making a fool of himself and Jasper found himself embarrassed for him. He sincerely hoped none of the new kids took to heart the image he presented of the New Mutants, Dante included as the last thing they needed was to give the Paragons more of a reason to give the New Mutants lip about their team.
"Zhis isn't kindergarten Alex, I know jou don't have much experience in a school or anyzhing, but really zhis is ridiculous. Zhe only zhing he was laughing at is how stupid jou were acting. At zhis point it is painful for me to vatch, so for zhe last time, stay out of it!" He shook his head in disbelief and at this point didn't care if Dante or Alex were following him, but this was seriously just stupid. He was embarrassed for Alex, and he was more so embarrassed that now he'd be associated with him.
At that moment he didn't want anything to do with Alex and his weird perception of things. The kid was so clueless sometimes that Jasper half wondered if he was constantly drunk from a never-ending stream of tequila stashed somewhere. True later if he was less annoyed, he might have to explain the social situation to him, but right now he just wanted to focus on his bike, and perhaps if he was lucky run into the only person that made his life worthwhile.

"Oh," Alex looked confused still and his eyes shot back and forth between Dante and Jasper as one of his shoes slipped from his grasp. Then almost as if he played the sceen in his mind again from the very start his eyes went wide and the other shoe dropped. "OHHhh! Siento mucho, I'm very sorry. It all looked so how do you say in English? Contencioso, umm like to be almost a fight ready to happen?"
"Cuán insensato he sido. Oh what a fool I have been." He grinned half a grin as he bent down to pick up his shoes. Embarrassment just then beginning to set in. He had sincerely thought there was a situation, and he had so wanted to be the one man to make things right. He shook his head as he stood back up looking at Dante.
"I hope you and I can move past this. It would be better to be a friend to you, I think, than an enemy." He knew he shouldn't ask anything more but he just couldn't help it, and by the look of Jasper he was definitely not going to ask him, so he leaned in slightly to Dante and asked "What is Kindergarten?"

Slow gait to the walk of the Shade, Darkling Prince fancy himself did he. Hands deep inside pockets lined with hate, niggling gnarled knuckles did his fingers play and played. Distaste for much of the things life had to hold, yet the voice That Voice ~ HER voice in his mind was glorious. A beam of light in the shadow of his soul, yet a light for darkness sake. For if turned back upon itself shone it was, in essence, the source of his twisted nature's thirst. Taught cruelty from an early day, and study well he did. All he knew had he learned, from the woman he adored, who he called to when his body ached. Hurt him she did, in body, mind and spirit, deeper than anyone or anything ever viewed in dream or nightmare.. and for that even more did he adore her, and then more still.
For her he would do all manner of thing unspeakable and ask, nay beg, for more to entreat her praise. So entertained, in this instance was he, that a single twitch of a grin he let crook up the corner of his mouth as walked he between a broke-faced girl and one whose size was bigger than his years. Shoulders dusting shoulders, a dark wisp of a dank dream he skulked, between them nudgingly and with a sniff as a greeting. He moved on, his mind still entertaining the task She had set him on, lips dry, hunger gnawing.
The three boys then, from his White Queen's mental message, before him strolled and a pause in his walk he enjoyed. No longer in the kitchen they, yet not far out from trouble, seemed it yet not complete, their troubles. Tarry, repose, tarry he might at least watch for a moment, and foot to foot his weight he did shift. Then met he eyes with each of them in turn. Puppies they in a box, all three, and without a word spoken continued on. No feast for the darkness yet, but food for the flesh went far to settle the hunger within. The smell became all at once undeniable and greedily a small bowl to himself he served. None too much since knowing whence his White Queen did return to her castle, in her dungeon, many a glorious torture would she entertain on him. Disobedience doth have it's rewards indeed thought he.. but alas the food, though delicious, paled next to the succulence of a soul. "Another day" he muttered softly, spooning spicy gruel into his fleshly form.
