"When do I ever do anything quietly?" Mari shot back, laughing at the drawing. She pulled out her own sketchbook, and started working on a half-finished sketch of a pack of wolves.

Kelton was not really the type of artist that Mari was; he drew really cartoony stuff, whereas her stuff was really breathtaking. He really loved watching her draw. He leaned over and put his head in his hand, watching as her hand moved over the page.

Mari felt his eyes on her, but she didn't look up until she had drawn a bit more, sending him a grin and a wink before returning to her work. He looked so cute with the peaceful look on his (maybe just a hint of admiration though she was probably imagining it) and watching her, that she almost couldn't go back to her drawing, wanting to watch his expression, see the subtle shifts that would help her understand him better than anyone else would.

He smiled back at her, but it faded when her focus went back to her work. Her smile; something about it seemed familiar. It was really strange, and he couldn’t put his finger on it, but he knew that smile from somewhere other than his friend who was sitting next to him.

Vincent burst into the detention room his arms full of papers and books, "Mam? I believe you asked for copies of these pages?" Vincent balanced the stack on one hand and held up a paper to the teacher, she shook her self more awake thanked him and motioned for him to place them on the desk, he did so and winked at Kelton and Mari on his way out the door. Some times he just wanted to force them to transform in front of each other. It was just so obvious, Imperium liked Nova, Mari likes Kelton, then again, he though as his power told him to hold his arm right as a blond freshmen tripped into it, not every one had a power telling them exactly how to react in situations. He didn't find out on purpose, there was a fire in science class and his power told him that Mari could put it out, then again when the friends were out flying kites with no wind, his power told him Mari could just conger up some wind. It took a bit longer to figure out Kelton but eventually there was a situation that could have been fixed using his powers.

Kelton lifted a hand as a greeting when Vincent entered, then went back to watching Mari. Apparently, Vince was in some sort of rush, so he didn’t do anything more than wink.

Now that Kelton thought about it, he knew who Mari’s smile reminded him of. Nova’s. He smiled at the thought of his fellow super heroine. She was perfect. And so was Mari, but in a different way.

Mari flinched when Vince burst into the room, making her pencil leave a dark streak across the page. She let out an unhappy noise, sending her friend a glare when he looked to her. He didn’t react, just set the papers he was carrying on the teachers desk and left. She frowned, and tried to erase the line. It didn’t work and she groaned, throwing down her pencil as she unhappily laid her head in her hands.

TIMESKIP: THAT AFTERNOON

Kelton had invited his two best friends to his house that day, and at the moment they were all upstairs in his room discussing the attack that had happened earlier that day. It was quite interesting, all of them doing their best to act like they hadn’t experienced the whole thing up close and personal.

“Yeah, I heard that there was some kid like inside the robot,” Kelton lied. However, what he said next was the truth. “I wonder how that happened.”

Vincent helpp back the explanation, barley, "Um I'm not sure, There was this girl who was yanking my ear off while you two were in detention about how she heard from a friend who heard from a cousin who was near the attack that one of the hero's though it was mind control of some sort." He said shrugging "Not sure how accurate that is considering the source, that and I wasn't exactly listening." Being a seemingly perfect pretty boy was useful some times he could always use that excuse.

"Yeah I get it," Mari agreed. "Though when you rushed off K, by the way where did you go? You didn't go to detention because you left in the exact opposite direction! Anyway, I kinda maybe sort of slipped out the nearest door and watched as much as I could…"
Mari didn't like lying, though she had to do it a lot on account of her being a superhero. She thought that this was the best way to be able to tell a lot of the story, while also covering why she was late to detention.

“I, uh, went to the bathroom,” he lied again. “I just didn’t want to go to the one near the detention room. So you were watching the fight while you were supposed to be in detention? That’s why you ended up with it in the first place.”

Vincent struggled to contain a laugh, of coarse they didn't know he knew but, oh it was just so funny listening to their excuses, " Well that did cut your detention date short didn't it, Kinda funny how both of you were late." He causally hinted studding his nails, if any one were looking closely they could have sworn there was a bright green hint behind his blue eye's.

Kelton, completely oblivious to Vince’s sneaky laughter, turned to Mari. “You know, you’re one of my best friends, so I’m giving you this advice because I care. Show. Up. To. Detention.”

Mari rolled her eyes. "Nah, I think I'd rather watch the superheroes save the city while destroying a giant robot thanks." She leaned up against a wall, crossing her arms and smirking.

"Or you could just not be in detention in the first place you know, then you get to watch the entire thing from the roof." Vincent added offhandedly

Kelton held his hand out in agreement with Vince. “Now there’s an idea,” he replied sarcastically. “But then again, you’d have to be on time for stuff, and I don’t know if you can do that.”

"True," Mari agreed. "But the way I think of it, I'm never late, you guys are early! Either that or I just get to arrive fashionably late to everything! Either way, I'm always in the center of attention when I get there, and I get to rub it in people's faces that I got to sleep more than they did!"

Kelton rolled his eyes. “Or, you’re just not punctual,” he replied, and chucked a pillow in her direction. “Anyway, I’m hungry. I’m gonna go see what’s in the refrigerator. Be right back.”

Mari caught the pillow, grinning, and flung it towards his back which was disappearing out the door. "Bring me something!" She called after him. "Preferably something sweet!"
