At The Academy: A Mutant Love Story (Gen, Akira, Mia)
|
(Gen) "Sorry," Gen mumbled at Akira's reaction, quickly pulling back.? "I'm still learning the social stuff.? Didn't mean to be creepy." "I can't move through things.? I can jump higher than an ordinary guy but nothing really spectacular.? I can do a lot of other things, though," he said, brightening a bit.? "I can alter my body to adapt to different environments.? Like climbing sheer walls or breathing underwater.? I can grow wings that allow me to fly.? And I can even--" He stopped suddenly, not wanting to mention something that the other boy might also find creepy.? "I know a lot of what went into my design," he finished finally, looking away.? "The scientists were always testing me to make sure it all worked.? (Akira/Mia) Akira was just about to ask what Gen was about to say he could also do, when he spotted Ms. Mia coming into the cafeteria. He saw her pause and look around the room, her eyes catching the new student. "Uh, oh. Well, guess you are about to meet one of the one's in charge. "That's Ms. Mia." He pointed her out as she crossed to their table. "Hello, boys. I am glad to see you are enjoying a meal. Who is your new friend, Akira?" She asked for an introduction. She wondered who let him in and why she hadn't been informed there was a new student. With a smile, Akira said, "Ms. Mia, this is Gen. I think Liza was the one that found him. Gen, this is Ms. Mia, one of the founders of the Academy." He made the introductions. Tag: Gen |

Gen, this is Ms. Mia, one of the founders of the Academy." He made the introductions. ? (Gen) ? "Pleased to meet you, Ms Mia," Gen said, nodding respectfully.? "I apologize if my... arrival... didn't follow proper procedure.? But I heard that your academy is kind of a refuge for mutants.? Which I kind of qualify as being.? Kind of," he added with an uneasy shrug.?? ? "I was explaining to Akira here some of the things I can do.? I was designed to be able to survive a number of different environments, including some fairly harsh ones.? For that reason, my body has the ability to change to adapt to those environments.? I can, for example, grow gills to allow me to breathe underwater.? I can modify my hands and feet to allow me to climb or cling to almost any surface.? I can grow wings if I need to fly.? And I can heal faster than normal if I get injured, repairing in minutes or hours what would normally require weeks or months.?? ? "I can give you a demonstration, if you like." He hesitated, with a sidelong glance at Akira, then added "If it wouldn't creep you out or anything,"? ? Tag: Akira/Mia ? |

Everyone that it employed here knows to simply bring a mutant in for their protection and every thing else can be worked out later." She listened to Gen describe himself. "Designed? You were not birthed but created in a lab? No need for demonstrations. Were you running away from those that created you?" Akira listened to the two talk back and forth. He was glad that Gen had found this place, or rather was brought in from the outside by one of their own. Who knew what might have happened to him, had he not been found. Tag: Gen |

? Mia gave Gen a smile, "no, your arrival like others, was not proper procedure. Everyone that it employed here knows to simply bring a mutant in for their protection and every thing else can be worked out later." She listened to Gen describe himself. "Designed? You were not birthed but created in a lab? No need for demonstrations. Were you running away from those that created you?" ? (Gen) ? "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. Tag: Gen |
