Chase - Before the fashion show
Anna realized, as she changed quickly from her uniform into jeans and a tank top, that she had no idea what the guy she'd just agreed to go pie shopping with looked like. She was pretty sure it wouldn't be all that hard to figure out who he was, though, and she pulled on a hoodie and zipped it, then let Ali know that she'd be back before the fun started, grabbed her keys and wallet, snagged her leather jacket and headed out. Keys dangling from her mouth by the keychain, she pulled her jacket on and adjusted her gloves before hopping over the railing to the stairwell and landing softly on the first floor.

He was one of the new kids, which would make him stand out. Hopefully. And if not, he'd probably find her.

	"Which one did you go to?" She finished putting her gloves back on and started the car, checking the road before pulling back out and heading toward the store. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Seattle," he told her. "Pretty cool school. Not as big as this one. Way too close to home." Chase looked at Anna. "Always been at this school?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, this is the big one." She half-smiled at the too close to home part, then nodded. "Since kindergarten. My parents were part of the founding of the system, so it's kind of a no-brainer that I'd end up here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Chase nodded. "Makes sense," he admitted. "My parents sent me to fancy boarding schools before I manifested. Or well, before they knew I manifested. Then I didn't even have to tell them to send me to Xavier's. They had the tuition paid for before I woke up the next morning." Of course, that had been his intention for revealing his powers. To get the hell away from them.

	"Mine knew I was going to manifest a long time before I actually did." One of the wonderful and sort of creepy details of her mother's powers. "But I'm pretty sure I'd have gone here even if I wasn't going to manifest." Unless they just flat out wouldn't have adopted her if she wasn't going to manifest, which was possible.

	Chase nodded. He didn't know how they'd know that, but then, he didn't know what powers her parents had. "That's cool though," he said. "You've always had a place, you know. Not everybody does." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_canttouchthis_ 2011-03-17 08:37 am UTC (link)
	"Not always," she replied. She hadn't had a place before she'd been adopted... but once she'd had it, she'd had it. "Are you place-less?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Chase shrugged. "Just haven't found it yet," he dismissed. "Wasn't back in LA. Seattle either. I'll find it someday. And have a good time while I'm looking." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't think that everyone really has a place. I mean, I think of myself as having a couple of places. When I left here, I had another place, and that place was just as important as this place." Maybe it didn't make sense, maybe it did, but either way, she wasn't completely sold on the glories of having a "place." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

When you chose that place yourself, it was different. Chase had a 'place' with his parents, if he wanted to go back to what he'd grown up dealing with. Which he didn't. He was done being his dad's punching bag and his mother's shield. They could domestically abuse each other for the rest of eternity for all he cared. It wasn't like they wanted any more kids after him, so there was nobody else for them to abuse.

"That's cool though," he said. "Not everybody needs or wants the same thing. What's important is you got what you want and/or need." He let out a chuckle and shook his head. "This conversation is way too deep for a pie run."

	Anna laughed. "It kinda is, yeah." "You pick something else," she nodded, glancing at him. "I'm driving." (Reply to this) (Parent)
