[ { "text": "**Mimic**\n\nMimic stood at the centre front of the classroom and watched as students settled down into their seats, an obvious phenomenon of social circle formation with the visible scattering of people. Over the years in the Academy, Mimic taught classes and observed these circles become a stronger bond which ultimately became an alliance, birthing a dynamic and powerful band of superpowered beings. However, he has also seen many groups break down in intolerance and distrust, and a lot of it has to be with an eclectic mindset of choosing the right people that you work best with and the people you desired in having. This is why Power Development class was basically an audition for potential leaders in organizing their teams and training together as allies. Mimic enjoyed the process, but sometimes the outcome was not as desirable when memory came to serve him.\n\nHe already had eyes on some of the power players and potential leaders that he had tested, but hoped to see more out of them by the end of the semester. It was a grading system in his mind and accessed based on an amalgamation of comments from all of the lecturers here. The academy will decide if they've been trained to what they've aspired to. But now, it was still day two, and there was still fresh meat to grind and pulverize.\n\n\"Katherin, you're up,\" he spoke as he walked into the battle simulation room.\n\n\"Again,\" he stopped halfway out the door and turned to the class, \"feel free to watch your classmate and I duke it out,\" he switched on the TV, and entered the fight room.", "username": "Dioxide", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\"I don't know how much duking there will be.\" Katherin mumbled under her breath as she stood up. She couldn't decide if she was excited or terrified to be going first today. She already decide that using her powers for attacking would be pointless, but maybe she could use them as a distraction. Katherin took a deep breath before standing up. She repeated to herself that this was just like training with her dad. It would be tough be she would learn a lot from it. She wondered who would be watching and what they would think of her skills.

It was a dangerous situation and quite frankly a sign of lack of discipline in their power.\n\n\"You fool! What do you think you're goi-,\"interrupted with a kick to the face, angry and flustered.\n\n\"You want snow!? I'll give you snow,\" as Mimic, using his own abilities, ranked up the speed of the blizzard. For the little atmosphere that they had, the snowstorm surprisingly picked up so much speed that it felt almost suffocating to be in the same room. Thankfully, they're both cryokinetic, and unluckily for Katherine, Mimic blasted laser beams all over the room in short blasts, hoping to knock the little girl out.\n\nHe'd tucked his wings in, in the fear that they'd freeze overtime, his strong animalistic feet clenching hard and firm to maintain his ground against the strong gale.", "username": "Dioxide", "char_name": null }, { "text": "Opps!

Maybe she could run circles around him, but he did have wings and telekinesis, a power he liked to use against ranged abilities. She desperately tried to remember what more she learnt from Captain America, but she was not ever going to get close enough to land a pathetic punch.\n\nSeveral students interrupted her thought, as Sue turned to them, and noticed how nonchalant and fearless they seemed about themselves. Not even a hushed tone; they talked to one another without any barriers of interpersonal relationship, implying they've interconnected to a higher degree of closeness she had yet to experience with her current friends. She did give out a few hugs and received some, but she wondered neither if she had given off the right impression nor if they liked her. She wasn't an introvert nor was she critical on herself; but she was in a new environment and not with her friends.\n\nThen it hit her. Of course, she thought about it already, and she could still pull it off; she had her powers! Her powers could deafen a person with even the lowest of volumes Sue hears, and that was just passive. She could distort Mimic's concentration enough for her to incapacitate him. But she was afraid of how he'd react with his power mimicry. She'd have to step it up, and go beyond her zone of fear and show a side of her that no one in this school has seen yet. She looked into her bag, and saw them. She won't take them out yet, but she was almost excited to see the reactions people would have when she does.\n\n\n\nAgain, she was interrupted in her thoughts, and she barely opened her mouth to return a reply when…\n\n\n\nMy goodness the interruptions were too darn high. She was caught off-guard and she panicked all over. She looked to the familiar faces to look for some support, but she knew that support was not going to help her.\n\n**So, she took off her earmuffs, and reached down into her bag to reveal to her classmates her headphones.**\n\nHer headphones were large, and covered a large portion of her head. They were cushioned all over the inside to ease comfort into her head, and were obviously custom-made.\n\nThe ear cups were the highlights and were a state of art technology that was handed to Sue by her father on one of her birthdays – her 5th, she believed, when her passion was starting to blossom. There were gridded wheels on each ear cup to control the volume of her music. Each ear cup had a touchscreen digital visualizer that represented the music she was listening to in analog waves or bars (she was free to choose the visualizer herself) and she could control the choice, flow, and quality of music through the screens. It was a bit inconvenient since the screen was to the side, so there were mechanical buttons present as well on each cup in a ring outside of the touchscreen. It emanated a glow of a luminescent yellow and blue, and the casing and strong metal mould that held everything together was a pristine white. It was a tough, incredibly sophisticated and really loved device that Sue loved. It was the envy of many headphone lovers alike, and it was a masterpiece of technology. It had a GPS locater chip that made sure that it wouldn't ever be lost or stolen completely. It was especially designed for its lightness and durability, which meant that Sue could dance with these headphones without worry of damage or added cumbersome weight.\n\n*She looked cool in her headphones.*\n\nShe was going to disrupt Mimic's attention with her music.\n\nAnalog waves and digital sound were completely different things. Natural, environmental, bioacoustics, man-made (not artificial) sounds all came in analog waves, which was the natural wavelength which was continuous and flowing.\n\nHowever, to record, convert and reintroduce that sound into a digital format, it was not as realistic. Digital audio had to consider sampling rates and the audio resolution. The sampling rate meant how many samples were taken per second, meaning how \"much\" of the sound was captured and replicated. The audio resolution meant how much of said sound was accurate in terms of pitch. Quantization levels were needed to determine the volume of each sample of sound. The more the quantization levels, the more similar it is to the actual tone and decibel of the natural sound.\n\nThough digital sound will never be as*nice*as natural sounds, technology made it possible that Sue had nothing to fear over when facing Mimic.\n\nShe left the classroom and entered the room where Mimic was; the door seemed to loom over her enormously and the cold doorknob woke up Sue's attention.\n\n**************************\n\nSue entered the room, her eyes traced the layout of the cameras, the walls, the artificial lights on the ceiling, but she could not avoid the sight of the intimidating Mimic. She'd seen what he could do, but he has not yet experienced anything like Sue.\n\n**She adjusted the volume down to THREE, but it was similar to the volume of a loud concert right in your face.**\n\nSolemnly, she thought to herself:*\"And today's song choice is…\"*\n\n Kredo - Singularity (JPhelpz Remix)\n\nSuddenly the room was filled with reverberation ripples and sonic waves of loud techno music. The volume, as loud as a jet taking off within earshot, was deafening, but it had no effect on Sue. She could see Mimic covering his ears and struggling to stand up.\n\nSo she placed her hands on the ground, and she balanced herself and pivoted in pendulum, swinging herself around. She was breakdancing, and she was twirling her legs in the air all over the room. She flipped forwards and backwards everywhere, moving the source of sound all over the room, in the hopes that Mimic could never get the chance to fully concentrate. The other room must be wincing in pain with the high volumes by now.\n\nHer glowing headphones, her red hair, her orange trousers, the swiftness and agility on how she moved made these colours look like she was emitting light. She was a blur of colours that moved majestically to the loud beats of the music.\n\n\n\nThe chorus came, and she jumped in front of Mimic, and started to spin on her head and with the weight bearing on her shoulders she spun around with amazing precision and remarkable poise.\n\nReference – I recommend you watch.\n\nMimic hadn't at all made a move; he was barely moving and she was running laps around her. She was defeating him. The sound never left the room, and so the volumes were consistent. She remembered Iron Fist's training, and realized one thing was true: her emotions controlled her passive powers, and made them active. She was happy and energetic and she felt her power amplifying her music even louder.\n\nFor the final act, she got on her feet, jumped forward towards Mimic, with a twist of the volume wheels on her headphones, turned it up to SIX. A concussive blast that was sure to knock Mimic out. She had no intention to kill him, but it was an exciting act that she could control herself; she was feeling it and there was no stopping her. She hoped her classmates wouldn't hate her for this.**The sonic blast had the force of a bomb explosion, but Mimic had assimilated Sue's power, and so the sound volume spike was *doubled.***\n\nThe impact of two huge sound bombs exploding blew the walls apart. The left, right and the wall behind Mimic blew away outwards. The walls behind Sue, which covered them from her fellow classmates, stayed upright.\n\nThere broke holes and several damaged the building. The building they were in now had a three-floor gaping hole in and out of the building.\n\nThe building had been evacuated with the loud volumes. Students outside had gathered to see what had caused the damage. Many superheroes were flying and floating around to see the massacre.\n\nAll eyes were on her; she nearly destroyed an entire building, the foundations weakening by the second but held. Her classmates were barely alive with the blast of over safe levels of sound. Mimic was on top of her, shielding her from debris that fell on top of her.\n\nAs the song ended, her headphones stopped their glow of their bright colours, and Sue pressed the stop button.\n\nShe bowed, and left the room by the door, comically still upright with no supporting frame.", "username": "Dioxide", "char_name": null }, { "text": "Phoebe scrambled up \"that was awesome!

Then nothing; black – she had fainted.\n\nNever had she actually tried to control the direction of her soundwaves, let alone direct it into a cone, much like a cannon. Never had she forced herself so much to have to take down something as tenacious as the Hulk. If that was the damage she could do at just a volume of FOUR, what could she do with higher volume levels?\n\nWhen she finally came to, she was staring at the ceiling. She tried to turn her head, but her headphones were in the way. She took them off and rolled all over the bed like a cat, stretching every part of her body. She was exhausted, her mental faculty strained, her physical not so much. She read the note that was from Anthony, which read:\n\n*\"Sue, during the battle with Dr. Banner, you fainted after pushing yourself too far. Once you wake up, the kitchen is fully stocked if you're hungry or thirsty, and there's a phone next to the bed if you want to call us. We're just cleaning up rubble and helping the injured now. If you go into the backyard, don't be surprised to see three baby tigers. They were fed a large meal this morning, so they won't be hungry. The white one is the leader, so if he likes you, his sisters will also.\n\n-Anthony Luthor\"*\n\n*\"Tigers?\"*she thought to herself. She reluctantly got out of bed and, though she struggled to keep herself up at first, she managed.\n\nThe house was beautiful and large - figures, coming from a Luthor. It felt endless, and it was cold. Goosebumps all over her arms, she rubbed them gingerly. She hadn't brought a jacket with her but surely she'd just get used to it soon.\n\nShe finally found the kitchen and practically ransacked the whole refrigerator. She could not hold all of the food in her arms as she ravenously ate through the fruits and a chicken leg. She did not want to finish everything though, trying not to be a horrible guest. She actually wanted to see the tigers. But first, she took a marker and drew a penis on one of the mirrors. She snicked noiselessly at her childishness.\n\nWhen she reached the backyard door, it automatically opened for her. The warmth on her skin from the Sun felt amazing, and so did the sight of the cutest little tigers! She hurriedly ran to the pen, opened the door and gently walked towards the adorable white one. She was fine with animals, but she also loved the extreme. She loved extreme animals, in that matter! She caressed the little snow-white and laid between the three. Soon enough they were crawling all over her, sniffing and purring around her. Sue had a natural aura of benevolence. She was nice to every being, and she felt relaxed with the little overgrown kittens.\n\nShe got up for a quick three-minute nap, and locked the pen behind her as she left. She wanted to know where the others were. The Hulk! She suddenly remembered!\n\nThe note did say that she could call them. She guessed that Anthony forgot that she couldn't talk. She had to go help, but she had no idea where they were.\n\nShe patted herself clean of dirt. She had to figure out where they were and quick. For all she knew the Hulk was coming her way. She had to get out of this house. She ran around the enormous house to find the main door. She found it, and ran out, pushing it hard.\n\nShe was facing an open field, the shiny façade of the building reflecting light and heat into the outside, the trees and scenery beautiful, but way yonder she could see the smoke and dust, and missing buildings of the once beautiful New York City.\n\nShe had to get there, but she didn't want to use music just yet, too soon in case she'd attract more unwanted attention.\n\nShe turned around, and after leaping a good height, clapped and the shockwave pushed her into the air and towards the city. She repeated the process of clapping in the air until she finally landed on one of the buildings of the city.\n\nShe looked around, hoping to find anyone she could recognize. She heard yelling in the desolate city, and clapped her way towards it, atop a building to see what had been going on.\n\nShe was several stories high up, just above her classmates who were fighting amongst themselves.

For one thing, she'd grown another two inches and gained about 30 pounds- most of it muscle, in her legs. She'd had to buy herself half a new wardrobe to fit her growing body. To think, she hadn't even hit 18 yet! Who knew how tall she was going to get? Her father was 6 feet tall, and she was already 5'9''. (And 160 pounds, not that she'd confess that to anyone.)\n\nHer skills were improving, growing, and changing. She was working on increasing control over her power, making sure that she could use her powers when she wanted, instead of when she was triggered.

Her newest challenge was combining the three: blade, paper, and dance. Slow going, but she could already feel her confidence in her skills causing wonderful effects. With her newfound free moving battle style, she was learning to relax and let go, to roll with the changes instead of planning every step. At least she was doing this physically. On the mental side of things, she was thinking as much as usual. Planning, plotting, the usual. She was keeping growing data files on many of the students, figuring that they would come in handy sooner or later in life. She was also doing her best to build friendships. While she could be more or less friendly, actually confiding and trusting anyone was still quite foreign to her. She saved the secret-telling for her weekly therapy sessions with Mr. Xavier. They were hit or miss- sometimes she left feeling like she could tackle the world, other times she left and couldn't even bear looking at other people. But she still showed up faithfully every Wednesday, doing her best to tackle her trauma.\n\nAll in all, she was truly starting to enjoy the school. Every day meant a new challenge, something new she could learn, or improve upon. She was really going to have to thank her grandmother for coercing her into attending.\n\nKijani headed down to breakfast, nose in a book full of Chinese literature in the original language. She was getting to be quite the polyglot. It came in handy, and was quite fun- especially when she got upset and started to swear colorfully in multiple languages.

I know I called you but we really didn't get a chance to talk. I miss you, dad. I really do. When can I see you again? \n\nEverything has been fine here, really. I never did get to tell you about school, right? I only really have to attend a few classes because I only need that many. \n\nThere's History which is total boredom, but interesting for what it's worth. I wonder if Professor X knows it's boring and he just goes on about it. Could he like totally wake us up if he wanted to? Oh that'd be cool.\n\nThen there's Fighting Theory class. Now this class is fun! I've been learning all kinds of techniques and mentalities for fighting against foes. I've been taking lessons from my friend, Kijani. She can manipulate paper and she knows capoeira! Dance-fighting! You know that's so me. So I went up to her and asked for lessons and here I go twisting around offensively. Oooooooooooooooh hahahaha\n\nThen there's regular PE. I've been exercising. I don't really need to work out. I can move around quickly and swiftly and I have sufficient strength. Besides, often the best defense is a good offense and I am pure offense with my abilities. ;D\n\nBut my two favourite classes were Power Development with Mimic and Self-Control with Iron Fist. You know them! \n\nI've been exploring my ability more. Last time I was able to convert my Area of Effect, usual sound amplification and direct it as a cone, now I can do air-slices! All I have to do is twist my head quickly and modulate the resonance of my music. I've also been able to stop projectiles completely with, like, a sound barrier. I've stopped a car hurtled at me, but I haven't been able to stop anything faster. Thing about sound, dad, you know this, is made of vibrations in the air. I've been solidifying air, almost. It's so cool. \n\nBut enough about school, more on me: \n\nI haven't been into any guys, don't worry. I am old enough to care for myself, you dummie. I did get a kiss though, but I did owe him for saving my life in a simulation. Your fault for making me attractive to guys; I don't think I'm attractive but people, guys and girls, have been coming up to me. It's also probably due to my popularity here as a power-player with my strong abilities! I hope that's a good thing, considering I don't know half the peoples' intentions here. Hero or Villain, it is up to us. I want to be like you dad, don't worry.\n\nHey, I found some pictures of me when my girlfriends ( no I'm not a les or bi, hush you) and I went to the beach: \n\n\n\nAnd this one is my favourite - \n\n\n\nAnd here's a blast from the past, remember this picture?\n\n\n\nI was pretending to sing, yet I looked like I sang better than most others! Look at that uvula!\n\nI hope I get to see you soon, dad. Can we arrange a lunch date here at the Academy? It'd be cool if my friends could meet another X-men like yourself! \n\nOh, I might talk to some of my friends. One of them is Connor, and he's a Stark! I want to see if he can help me with some ideas about some speakers as gloves? Wouldn't that be cool? If I can amplify sound, I'm wondering if I can do it on other speakers, or even on other people? \n\nOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh dad I'm scary.

Not only was this the office where Batman made the decisions about the Academy, but it was also where he met with some of the other most important men and women of the metahuman community. Anthony sits on a chair and unclasps a few hardly noticeable latches on his dress shoes, and slid a thin layer off the bottom. Inside the hollow, hidden compartments of his shoes, Anthony pulls out a device that appears to be a pen, a bag of graphite powder, a small brush, and a very pale, lifelike, collapsible model of a human hand. With his tools in hand, Anthony enters Batman's office, secure in the fact that there wouldn't be any security cameras. After all, why take the risk that someone would be able to hack into the video feed, and see the private meetings? Anthony sets his tools on Batman's desk and scans the room for a moment, wondering how much he could take without it being missed. He opens the bag of graphite powders and sprinkles some over the white keys of Bruce's computer, then gently uses the brush to move any excess powder onto the desk. Anthony uses his phone to take a picture of the fingerprints that appear on the keyboard, which his phone then analyzes to determine which prints belong to Bruce's right hand. He plugs the phone into the model of a hand, whose surface comes alive as it mimics both Bruce's fingerprints and approximate skin tone. Anthony places the hand on the security scanner of Bruce's safe, which whirs for a moment before popping open. To prevent himself from forgetting to cover his tracks, Anthony presses the top of the pen-like device, which turns out to be a miniature vacuum. He methodically sucks up all trace of the graphite powder, then returns all of his tools to their place in his shoes. Anthony pulls a pair of gloves out of his pocket and slips them on before leafing through the documents contained within the safe. He snaps pictures of the ones he finds useful, and is about to close the safe when he sees an envelope addressed to Phoebe. Spotting an opportunity to gain some favor, he sticks it in his pocket before closing the safe and leaving the office. From start to finish, the \"heist\" took but five minutes.
