Crystalline stopped and fell to his knees crying. He couldn't continue on like this.

(There should be some like big plan by either the villains or the less than favorable heroes.)

(yeah definitely. Uhhhh idk what tho)

Sorrow made their escape as fast as they could.

(We could just have it be some big looming threat in the background and work out the finer details later. Either way it could be something that causes one of us to turn our backs on either the heroes or the villains.)

Crystalline cursed as he watched Sorrow get away. Kore was resting back in her office still in full uniform.

(perfect!)

Shroud had made his escape already; he didn't particularly care if Sorrow escaped or not. The villain was notorious for slipping out of jail quite easily.

Kore left the headquarters after checking that no one was watching. She began to hobble her way back to campus in full civilian gear.

Shroud, still invisible, headed back to campus. He had nowhere else to change. So he slipped over to the window, which he had left unlocked, and opened it, climbing inside his dorm room.

Kore had finally made her way into her dorm room when she heard someone entering her suitemate's room. She didn't recall seeing them in the hall, so she began to make her way over to investigate.

Shroud began to change, going as quickly as possible. Just in case.

Kore hesitated for a moment before knocking on her suitemate's bathroom door as she called out, "Umm, hello? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah! I'm fine!" Adrian called back, voice slightly strained as he hurried to change.

Kore still wasn't convinced and… That voice sounded slightly familiar. She waited a minute, "Umm, would you mind if I come in? I'm not really convinced you're okay."

"Just, ah…just a minute!" He called back, hurriedly stuffing the suit under his bed.

"Okay, um let me know when I can come in," Kore returned. She got comfortable in her crutches letting her arms take most of her weight.

He adjusted his shirt, double-checking he had removed everything and that the suit was out of sight, then opened the door. "Hey."

"Oh, hi," Kore wasn't expecting Adrian to be her suitemate. That was, interesting, "So, uh, you're clearly okay."

"Yeah, I'm, uh, fine." he said, tugging on the cuffs of his shirt.

"Good, good," Kore shifted her weight from crutch to crutch, "So, um, I'll just head back to my room then. Uh, bye."

Adrian nodded. "Right. Uhm. Bye." he waved faintly.

"Bye," Kore nodded and took a second to turn around in the bathroom and began to hobble her way back to her own room.

Adrian closed the door, letting out a faint breath.

Kore let out a long sigh once the door was closed. She continued moving back to her room and ended up resting on her bed.

He sat down on the bed, shaking his head a little.

Kore pulled out one of her notebooks and began to work on homework. The nights earlier failures still fresh in her mind.

Adrian didn't quite know what to do now.

Kore hadn't known Adrian was her suitemate. That, that made her life both easier and more difficult.
