Re: At The Academy: A Mutant Love Story (Gen, Akira, Mia)

"Yes, I was created in a lab.? By a group called Futura Laboratories.? And yes, I am on the run from them.? Or at least, from the ones who run things there." Gen hesitated, then revealed "I actually had some help escaping from a few of the scientists and staff who worked there.? As I grew, I guess I went from being just a lab experiment to being, well, a person in their eyes.? Or at the very least, a sentient being.? I was trained in a lot of things, including several of the planetary sciences.? And the more I learned, the more I want to go and see the things I was learning about.? Was that so bad?" he asked, biting his lip, as if still needing confirmation.

"I know a lot of science and math stuff," he went on, "but I'm still learning a lot of the, you know, social stuff.? How to talk to people and not sound like some kind of total weirdo.? I mean, give me the coordinates of any point on Mars and I can calculate the probable temperature and air pressure for that date and time, just from what I have in my head.? But ask me why people get uneasy if I ask them about their body parts and I don't have a clue." He glanced at Akira but then looked back to Mia.? "I'm learning not to do that, by the way."

(Akira/Mia) Mia gave Gen a smile after he had finished explaining. "Well, you are safe here, Gen. Akira will help you get settled and then bring you to the main office to get you properly enrolled. And I am sure that in time, with practice, you will develop your social skills and be just as versed in them as you are in math and science."
She looked at Akira then. "Please have him room with you since you are without a current room mate and he seems comfortable with you." He gave her a nod, "yes, Ms. Mia. I will also take him to the school store for some shopping of things." She gave him a smile, "yes, and I will call ahead and cover the expenses. Thank you, Akira. If there isn't anything else, I need to find Del." She waited for a reply before heading off to find her love.
