Kitty
Jared had enjoyed playing some basketball with the other students but always wandered around when meal times popped up. He'd wait until things had died down a little and then he'd strap the zapper to his face and find something to convert to energy for himself. More than likely he'd go with something boring like wheat bread or oatmeal. His body seemed to function best when it was given a lot of carbs. Watching other kids munch down on grub--or worse watch him with his damn bug zapper food converter thing--made him anxious. When Jared was anxious, he got angry. When Jared was angry, he picked fights with people. Random, stupid fights that didn't have any sort of rhyme or reason behind them. It was still way too early for him to be getting into trouble at this school.

"Give it at least a fucking month, Corbo," he muttered to himself as he wandered down the corridor, hands shoved deep into the pockets of his hoodie.

Then he caught site of a face he thought he recognized. "Hey. You're Kitty, right?"

"Oh. So, like... a barracks type thing?" That was weird. Most schools that she knew of didn't do that with older kids. They had them like that at Xavier's, but only really for the younger ones. Once you hit high school, you got a double.

"Cool. I don't have any siblings, but one of my biffles has like, thirty." Or nine, but she was rounding up. A lot. "Is he powered?"

	"Kinda. There's not a lot of money, but it's nice enough." Jared had hated it. "I prefer the setup here." "Biffle?" he asked, brow furrowed. Then he scratched at his head as he nodded. "Yeah. Nothing like mine. He turns to metal. Like sword hands. It's cool." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Here is pretty cool," she agreed. "Of course, I've been here since forever so I don't really have a whole lot to compare it to." "Best friend," she informed him, grinning as he explained what his little brother did. "That's pretty badass." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If anyone gives you the option between living here and going to Hull House, stay here. Unless you want boring, overcrowded, understaffed and colder." Americans had weird words for things. "I know, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Overcrowded, understaffed and colder... that's like, my dream home." She smiled. "Eh... I think I'll stay here. It would be a pain in the ass to move all of my stuff and set up a Habitrail long enough to cross the border for Bo."

"There's someone else here who turns to metal too, but as far as I know, he can't make his hands knives. He just goes big and shiny." She was pretty sure that she would have heard somehow if her Russian lover had the ability to make his knives into hands.

Jared hadn't had all that much to pack up and move. It had mostly been clothes and, well, Adrian. Fortunately Adrian was old enough that he didn't really count as luggage anymore. Although Jared would have carried him if he had to.

"It's not worth all that effort. I mean, Canada in general is nice. I do recommend a trip to Canada, but not Hull House. And certainly not to live."

The news about someone else who could turn to metal did get his attention. "Is it just pieces or all of him?"

	"I'll cross it off my to-do list." Not that she'd really been considering going anywhere for the next few years, at least... even though she had applied to other colleges, she'd probably end up sticking around. "All of him... I think. I don't know if he can do just parts, but I can ask. He gets like, a foot taller when he does it, too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Cross it off numerous times so if you're tempted later, you'll make sure to recall it's a terrible idea." Jared nodded. "That's interesting. Adrian can sort of extend the metal a bit, but it doesn't really change the rest of him. That I've seen anyway." (Reply to this) (Parent)
