Colossus walked along the plants quietly. Taking the time to think of the upcoming events and new students that would be arriving. Times have been getting harder and harder for mutants. He strolled along a row of small trees and let his fingers trail over the soft leaves. He could see the buds sprouting out now. And knew soon they would produce sweet fruit. Much like the students here. With the rigth attention and proper tending to they would grow into amazing people.

Heather walked to the Memorial Garden, seeing a tall, built man taking care of of the fruit within it. She didn't want to bother him, but enjoyed the beautiful nature around her. Heather decided to sit down by a plant and read her book.

Having the feeling that there was another around. He looked around slowly. Running hishand through his short dark hair as he observed a young girl come in and take a seat. He finished walking along the small trees and checkin ghtier leaves. Then as he finished he walked over by the girl and smiled."Greetings little one. How are you today?"

Heather looked up from her book and smiled. "Hello Sir. I'm sorry am I disturbing you?" She began to stand and put her book away in her bag.

"Neit, sit and enjoy the garden. Thats what it is here for. I just wanted to welcome you. I am Colossus. Or Piotr" He spoke with a bit of his russian accent. "Your welcome here anytime. If you need anything, or are interested in doing some work here, please let me know." He smiled a bit and nodded to the girl. Then turned to let her to her reading.

Looking over his shoulder he smiled and shook his head. "Neit. I only tend to them during the breaks. These are the product of patience and caring. From the students here. It is a good way to focus and concentrate. Also it gives a sense of pride to nurture someing from a seedling." Nodding more.

Though he was very large and his appearence could be intimidating, he seemed very calm and pleasent. He kneeled by a rose bush and began pulling off dead buds. He looked over his shoulder and smiled. "Ofcourse, anytime you like. Is there any kind of plant or flower that interests you?"

She winced. "I actually....don't know a thing about plants." She laughed at herself hoping he would too, to break a bit of the ice.

She thought about a good answer. Then again, why was one necessary? "Roses and orchids," she finally replied. "I think they are just gorgeous."

"Das very good then. Come little one. " He waved her over to where he was kneeling. It may have seemed odd that he called her little one, but next to him. Most were little. It was an endearing term he often used for his sister as well. " Dese here are five rose bushes. They have grown here for the last couple years. Every year we need to cleanse the rose bush of dead buds. So new ones can grow." He spoke softly and as he did he plucked a couple of wilting buds free showing her what to look for. A thorn pricked his skin and a drop of blood showed. This actually brought a smile to his lips. The mighty colossus bleeding from a rose. He wiped it clean and went back to woring on the rose bush.

She gasped slightly as she saw the rose prick the large man. "Are you alright Piotr?" She looked for something to wipe the blood away but stopped when she noticed him brush it off.

Chuckling more nd looking to her with a smile. "Da, I am fine, thank you. Would you like to begin working on the next rose bush?" Asking lightly. A jovial tone to his voice. He seemed at peace in the Garden.
