tune

Aza was already awake; she had been for a while. She hopped off her bunk and pulled her hair back. "Good morning," she said quietly.

Tam sat up quickly and, jumping down from his top bunk before he was even fully awake, landed silently and straightened up, shaking off the tiredness.
"Good morning, sir," he greeted confidently.

Beaux was not a morning person. Although she sat up, she couldn't help but glare at Harrow. Rubbing her eyes she tried to wake up, but it was a failure. "I'm never going to get used to waking up so early." She walked over to the dresser and pulled plain black workout clothes. That's all she wore besides her costume. They stretched well. Then put on a sports bra. "Time to get to work I guess." Mentally rolling her eyes she threw on her tennis and pulled up her hair as she walked out the door.

Wila followed out the fire with a skip in her step, humming a joyfully tune. "Nothing beats waking up super early and drinking coffee !" She muttered sarcastically

"Please don't shout so early in the morning." Beaux covered her ears. Looking back she glared one more time at Harrow. She never liked that man, there was something off about him. Or at least she thought so. "Let's just go get breakfast and get to training."

Wila nodded in apologies and followed Beaux out "ok so you really hate him like the rest of us, or you find interest in him." She said, mouth full of bagles

Beaux tensed up and her eyes went wide. "Interested? No, no way. Hes a messed up person, I would never be interested in someone like him." After clearing that up she loosened up, and continued to the cafeteria.

Aza dressed in her turquoise and scarlet dress, representing her powers. Sitting at the table, she picked at a chocolate chip bagel, humming to herself.

Harrow followed the group as soon as Tam walked out, head down. He burst into the cafeteria and sat across from Aza, staring her down.
He smiled at her and put out his hand. "Give me the bagel, please."

Wila shook her head, “you misunderstand me. I never said which way you were interested in him. You can be interested in a negative way. You don’t have to like him to find out whats up.”

(So is it just for show, like she doesn't actually have those, or does she actually have powers?)

(it's just for show, she has special magnetic gloves she designed herself that manipulate the magnetic poles of particles)

"No," Aza said quietly.

The smile never leaving his face, he slammed his fist down onto the table. "Now, girl."

Tam circled the two, joining Wila. "I'd suggest you stop talking until he leaves," he muttered, pushing Wila onto a bench so she'd sit.

"I could kill you," Aza said. "But I won't." She returned to eating silently.

Wila rolled her eyes and positioned herself to sit on the table, he feet on the bench "why, what's he gonna do? Kill me? For a few make spoken words and some teasing? Honestly, grow a shell"

Harrow stood and went to stand behind Aza. He leaned down right next to her ear, hand tightly on her shoulder.
"Stupid child," he shouted. He knocked the bagel out of her hand and single-handedly lifted her off the bench by the wrist. He set her down in front of him without letting go.
"You'd best rethink your attitude. The only special thing you've got is those gloves and any of those bastards could be taught to use them," he spat, indicating the three other kids.

Tam got up to stand in front of the two other girls automatically, praying they wouldn't do anything stupid.

"No, they couldn't," Aza replied, unfazed. "And I doubt even you, Mr. Smartass, could either."

He threw her down onto the ground.
"You three. Get to training immediately," he commanded the others without looking over. He pick Aza up by the wrist again and dragged her out of the room.

Wila stared wide eyed and started towards Aza and Harrow, mumbling nonsense under breath. "Tam, out please." She spoke softly "please…he can't…" She pleaded, eyes aglow tmwith desperation and anger

"You don't scare me," Aza said.
