Kaito nod:"hopefully..."
A hologram appeared lila on it
Lila:"congratulations, you are now official members of guardians....."
Harry asked concerned:"do you know what happened to pete?"
Lila shake her head:"so far we saw doc ock fighting him but otherwise afterwards his new behavoirs arent himself"
 
Billy's eyes automatically shot to the book as it fell, but only for a moment, before they moved back to the girl, more slowly, deliberately. Perhaps that first reaction made him seem a bit skittish or nervous, but - to be honest - he was just mostly curious... And maybe a little cautious as well. Not that he was expecting something bad to happen right now, not really. More like... He wanted to take note of everything around him. After all, he wouldn't like to overlook some important detail.

But... What she was saying made complete sense. Of course someone new would temporarily became a target of rumours and speculations... He should have known. And prepared himself better. Well, he could still do that, at least in some ways, but... What was that about fighting monsters once a month?

He was pretty sure he hadn't signed up for that.

"Oh, I know. Who you are, I mean. Not that we've met before, personally, but... I've read about you on the Internet. And I'm Billy, so... Nice to meet you. In person," he said, but internally he was still kind of stuck on that part about monsters and criminals. Without really thinking about it, he slowly put his arms around his middle, almost like crossing them over his chest, but not quite - before transferring his weight from one foot to the other.

"Hey, when you say dealing with monsters and criminals, how literally do you mean that? Like the natural horrors of school life and teachers that seem to be actual energy vampires, or something closer to foul demons from the depths of hell?" He had a bad feeling that he already knew the answer. And it was the demons from hell. And probably other creatures from that general area... And aliens, and super-powered criminals, and not super-powered but still dangerous criminals, and mutated people and, or animals, and witches, warlocks, vampires, werewolves, IRS agents, dragons, giant spiders, Norse gods...

Or maybe he had read too many comic books.

Zatanna shrugged, lounging backward in her seat, still keeping her mostly languid attitude but realizing how nervous this boy was. Something in the back of her mind told her that he was excited underneath all that anxiety, though.

"Yeah, I think a portal to the nether realms opened up once," she said, "but maybe it was before I arrived. It is kind of what we signed up for, though. Going to a school full of freaks like us."

She took another look into Billy's eyes, truly realizing his fear, along with the dread that this place might not have been the one he expected.

"Believe me, I'm not the biggest fan of the superhero thing either," she added. "It wasn't my idea to come to this place. But if I can shatter the laws of physics by saying a few words backwards, then maybe I should help out a little bit, make it so that some people who deserve a good life don't have to be eaten."

He held the blood in his head, thinking that it was a bit disgusting but it was for a friend so he'd deal with it. Looking at the man he nodded his head saying " Well., uh, thanks? Have a nice day! Stay Frosty!" Before jumping off the roof swinging back towards the school.

He ran in the with blood in hand to the girl almost out if breathe. "I have this bag for Ms.Lily." he said holding it out towards her.
@Miasmith17
Lily look up at him:"thank you" she hands it to nurse
Nurse rub some numb cloth on her vein arm then hook blood bag to a tube and needle
lily of course looked away and muttered a curse word when the needle was in:"this should last long enough until stephan finishes converting the other bag"

Meanwhile
Doc ock metal arm crawl through the city, after few hours it rested in the forest near xaiver then continued, peter couldnt see but relied on the crawling to figure out where he was going.
He stop over by xaiver entrance to rest he was hoping someone he knew would noticing him and hopefully not anyone else, the broken noro cortex device on him maybe someone could fix it but until then he wont be able to see or speak to them
 
Huh. A portal to the nether realms. And she was speaking about it so calmly, like it wasn't anything special, just another day... Then again, during his first hours in this place Billy had helped an actual superhero stop a fight between mutants, mutates - or whatever they were, and heard something about an attack on the school, so... Why was he even surprised by that?

He knew now what to expect. Logically, he really did. But at the same time... After spending basically all of his life in the relative safety of a normal family - that, sure, could always get hurt in a crossfire or something, but didn't have that much to do with heroes and villains, other than watching them, reading about them, occasionally seeing them on the streets - he had trouble dealing with this change on an emotional level.

"We'll go back to that shattering of the laws of physics with words in a moment, because that sounds kind of awesome, but..." Yeah, but what? He had so much to say that he wasn't even sure where to start. But I wasn't exactly told that this is a training center for future superheroes? But I can't really help anyone, only fry them? But how often do things like that even happen around here...? Probably all the time, knowing his luck.

And that wasn't even the problem... None of it. He didn't mind it all that much - quite the contrary, a deeper, older part of him was dancing in excitement, because wasn't this what he had always wanted? What he had been envisioning literally for years? He had dreamed of being a hero, saving the day, protecting people... But that had been before he had realised that it also meant hurting some of them. That - he didn't like. He could still remember the smell of burning flesh... And he wasn't even really sure if that had been his imagination in the first place. Possibly not.

Besides, he hated sudden changes with passion.

Still not knowing what to say, Billy let out a slow, quiet sigh, and for a second or two his eyes wandered somewhere to the left. Explaining all of that would be pretty embarrassing, so... Maybe he shouldn't do that after all.

"Actually, let's go back to the shattering of the laws of physics now," he said finally, looking at Zatanna again. And he was honestly interested in that part; not just because he was talking to her and that was her thing, but... He had been fascinated by magic for a while now. Part of the reason for his curiosity was surely all the fiction he had read or watched; after all, who could grow up with books like Harry Potter and not be enticed by magic? But... There was also the fact that magic - unlike other powers - could technically be learned.

Zatanna's lethargic stare slowly warped into a wide smile. It was partially due to personal curiosity; William seemed to have been never exposed to magic before, even though she'd been told that he had some sort of inborn gift of it, much like herself. Was it possible that he wasn't even aware of his powers? Or maybe he wasn't a magician at all, just some kind of electrokinetic. That would be a little awkward.

But her real excitement was when he seemed interested in her shattering the laws of physics. It had been a little while since she'd performed a trick, especially on a stranger. She put her finger to her lip, taking a few moments to come up with something. Eventually, she found a trick that would do exactly what Billy wanted to see: take one of the basic laws of reality and literally flip it on its head.

"You wanna see a trick, then?" she asked playfully. "Think fast! Esrever ytivarg dnuora yllib." As Billy careened into the sky, Z reached into her hat and threw up a seemingly endless length of rope for him to catch. Whether or not he'd be able to grab it, she spoke another incantation that would let him slowly and harmlessly fall back into the garden.

When Billy landed back on the ground, Zatanna gave a slight bow, kind of hoping to see an emotion other than terror. "Yeah, the laws of physics deserve to be broken sometimes," she said, at least after his first response. "But you're a magician too, aren't you? What kind of thing can you do?"

That smile... Made Billy a bit worried. Not too much, because - again - he didn't exactly expect anything really bad to happen right at that moment and in that place, but some innocent, harmless trouble? Yeah, that was very, very possible. In other words, he felt safe enough, and - what was even more important - still curious, just... A little cautious as well. But that last part was basically his natural state anyway.

Besides, it wasn't enough to make him say no, not when he was too intrigued, too... Well, too happy to get some actual first-hand experience with magic. Or at least as first-hand as he could get at this point, since it still wouldn't be him casting anything, but... It was close enough for now. He would take what he could get.

So, he slowly nodded his head, growing even more wary because of that tone of voice. Before he even knew it, Zatanna said some words that he couldn't understand... And then his insides suddenly did a turn as he got lifted off his feet - not levitated, no, not like the book had been before. This thing now felt more like falling, only towards the endless sky, with nothing beneath... Or rather above him. Needless to say, he wasn't very proud of the distressed noise he had instinctively made.

He grabbed the rope almost as soon as he could and held it tight in both of his hands. With everything happening so fast, he didn't even have time to be shocked that he had actually managed to do that - or that he hadn't immediately closed his eyes, instead opening them wide. His heart was hammering in his chest, but... To be honest, a lot of that whole reaction came from being surprised. Not that he wasn't scared, at least initially - that was a perfectly natural response... And yet...

And yet he had the rope, and he was pretty sure he wouldn't get hurt, and the very idea of staying in the air didn't exactly seem all that bad. It felt strange, being up there, touching almost nothing, constantly getting pulled up by an invisible force... That last part he could do without, but at least the view was really nice. Thankfully he didn't fear heights.

Descending was even better. The pull got weaker - and obviously directed in the opposite way - so he moved more slowly and, overall, it just felt closer to flying, though probably not quite. Not that he would know. Once his feet touched the ground again, his legs a bit weak, he let out a long breath and carefully let go of the rope.

"Well, awesome was the right word for it," he decided. It was also exciting, not just as an experience with almost-flying, but... All the possibilities simply had his head spinning. And the fact that words were really capable of doing something like that? Yeah, awesome. He was definitely with Zatanna on the idea of breaking those laws of physics... Her next sentence, however, gave him pause.

"I... Don't know? I mean, I'm not sure what makes my powers work. They just do. At first I thought it was a natural mutation, but I can't exactly check that on my own. I generate electricity, though... Enough to at least give someone a burn and knock them out, not that I've ever tried to do more," he explained. He also knew that he could emit just a little bit of energy to paralyse someone for a moment... And that electrical appliances and his powers generally didn't like each other very much. Still... There was also another thing...

"But it was kind of strange, back when it happened for the first time. There were cameras that should have caught it, but they didn't, and the people walking around... I mean, I guess they either didn't see it, didn't remember it, or just didn't want to say anything? Because I never got into any trouble..." And he had been pretty terrified of that. He was also sure that at least some other students had witnessed his little accident, so he supposed they must have been too scared to talk... Maybe. The cameras puzzled him more.

It was a rough night the previous night, but Terry got up, even with a few bruises, but nothing he couldn't shake off. "Ugh man that was rough night last night. I even helped out my friend I guess. Who is actually a Spider-Guy." He puts on some clothes and exits his dorms as he walks towards the hallway.
 
Harry shook his head:"this isnt like pete to do this....he seems smarter and hasnt came to school..."
Anya nod:"we need to find out why he is acting like this...do you think he turned dark?"
Lila:"no but recently we did notice something his voice pitch isnt the same causing the watch to shut off and go on lockdown...meaning something happened to him"
Harry look suprised:"voice pitch? Did he hit puberty..or what else could it be?"
Anya gets an idea:"or someone controling him....like a robot"

Kaito shuffle his cards into card gun:"a robot? Wouldnt he not be waterproof"

Anya helps harry set out a sleeping bags
 
Grounded, really Tabitha had landed herself a special type of completely grounded once Cable had caught wind of her little excursions at night. She wasn’t even close to able to talk her way out of coming home for a few days to run a few drills and help him out, such a lovely form of punishment.

At least she’d skipped detention in the name of honing a few skills but she had left a very important person hanging.


‘Hey, I’m going to be honest and just say my dad quite literally retrieved me from school to make me get some stuff done. I owe you one, wanna sneak out later and I’ll buy you a slice?’ The text was quick but to the point, she’d let him down and needed to make amends.


Entering the academy, a few signs of the dance were left over, some banners that were quickly being taken down. At least she wouldn’t be reminded of missing the event by the decor, she would only get to listen to how much fun everyone else had.

Tabitha knew she couldn’t complain much, it wasn’t as though being jammed into the crowded gym was something she’d wanted. Of course missing out on the planned date still nagged at her, or if it even had been some kind of date, she was bad at getting ahead of herself.


Getting to her dorm, Tabitha found a note from Alecto, letting her know she would be gone for a few days herself. At least the dorm would be empty, Tabitha was quick to discard her bag, grab a gram and head back up to the roof to celebrate.

Parking in her usual meeting space, Tabitha sparked up and relaxed with a long exhale of smoke. She was grateful for the privacy the roof provided.

Terry was walking towards the outside of the school and saw someone park as he looked at Tabitha he shrugged it off and just did a small wave and kept on walking. Lyth Lyth

Elliott Constantine-Quinn
Elliott hadn't stuck around for the dance, and when Tabitha didn't show up, he'd still ditched anyway. He'd already planned that questions asked went straight through John, who would claim there had been an incident and he'd called Elliott for help. There was always an incident with John, so nobody really questioned it.

Then it turned out in some twist of fate, that there actually had been an incident, and Elliott was in the middle of patching himself up when the text came through. The injuries weren't serious (just scraped hands and arms, and a cut on his left cheek) with the exception of one gash on his side that needed stitches. He looked at the text, put down the needle and took up the phone. "The joys of family huh? Mine had a demon problem, so I ended up helping with that. So count me in"

Finished stitching himself up, he grabbed his coat, a pack of cigarettes and headed up to the roof, swinging himself up with his usual agility.

Peter 1048 (a.k.a. PS4 Spider-Man) suits up. "Okay let's go back on patrol." He does a flip and stays perched on the roof. 'I still gotta check on that Otto Spidey, he's really weird thinking like the other one that he's superior, but nothing can beat the original article.' Comicwolf Comicwolf

Zatanna tilted her head as she listened to Billy talk about the camera situation. It seemed as though something supernatural had to have happened, but maybe not magic per se... maybe he was just a really strong electrokinetic who could disable machines, or maybe he became invisible or something. But she didn't think she'd totally made up the memory of her dad saying that this kid was potentially one of the most gifted magicians of the generation.

"Well, some people can just go unnoticed when they don't feel like being followed," she replied. "Even I can appreciate that kind of vibe once in a while. But something tells me you're capable of a little more. Don't be afraid to try to find out what you really are."

She briefly motioned over to her book and levitated it back onto her lap, not quite sure where the conversation would go from here.

(I know but the personality is exactly the same, and not the mention the costume qualities and the sense of power and responsibility, sure Peter's consciene didn't habe a fully body for the new series, but Peter still haunted him.)
