One Way to Train

[Charity Croft]

Charity took a deep breath and readjusted the stuff on the table in front of her. Was this weird? This felt weird. Well, not the readjusting of stuff: Charity pretty well did that or something like that just about every day of her life, give or take a few. No, the weird part was that she'd organized to meet with a student here in the cafeteria.

As it wasn't a proper meal time, there weren't that many students milling about. To be sure, there were still some: the cafeteria was pretty well never empty. Between nocturnal students and powers that required almost constant feeding, there was generally always someone about to be scrounging for food or who knows what.

So why was Charity there? Well, according to files, Miss Graves was not a fan of her powers. In addition to being relatively young, which always overwhelmed people, Miss Graves had one of those powers that could most definitely fall into the "terrifying" category. So now she was assigned to Charity, and the young woman felt like this would be the best bet.

So she adjusted the tray in front of her. There were a few bottles of pills and whatnot there. There were always drugs whenever a mutant was involved: it just depended on how much you wanted to worry about it. There were also a pamphlet or two. Plus, Charity had put a bottle of water and a bottle of Coke there, just in case. She had a vitamin water of her own, and she sipped it. "Right, this should be great," she said, nodding and then looking around. Surely the girl would be able to figure out that the woman was her trainer, right? Still, best if Charity looked for her, signaled her to come in like some kind of air traffic controller or something.

[Kaylyne Graves]

Alright so here the starting of a new school, so we had mutants that had all types of powers, and Kay herself having a so called power, plus now just hitting teen years and all the drama that comes with that. Yeah this was not going to be going over so well for a while. Her head was spinning still taking everything in. And the best part really was knowing she was never going to be the normal teen, yeah okay so she never was going to be to begin with but this was on an entire new level. How do you coup with such things?

Yet here in this school every one walked about as though their was nothing weird or different. The school was like well normal which blew her mind. And today well today was the day to start with the part that she still found really odd, she was assigned a teacher person to help her with her powers. Yeah cause that was going to be fun, yes Kay wanted to know more and learn about her power but again she also sort of wanted to just keep pretending it did not even exist. But yeah that was not going to happen.

So Charity was the person name she was to meet, and learn from which surely she knew all the details so that was good. Which also made Kay wonder what her power fell under as in danger wise, she had herd rumor that their was an actual place for mutants with powers that where to dangerous and could not be controlled. So she pretty much wanted to stay far away from that but with a power like hers where it activated with rage she was pretty sure her case was going to be unique.

She kept thinking about all this as she made her way to the lunch room. And once their she spotted the person pretty easily since well the room was mostly empty and Charity was kind of easy to spot. Kay pushed all the other thoughts from her head and made her way to the table and sat down across from Charity, offering a smile that was genuine.

"Hello Ma'am sorry it kinda took me a bit to get here, Im Kaylyne.'

She spoke softly in her normal tone, which showed her rather sweet nature with the small southern twang to it. She was in jeans and a white t-shirt right now and her usual boots. Never one to try and dress up or special for well anything. The whole girly girl thing just did not work for her. And plus this was something she figured she should be comfortable with.

[Charity Croft]

As per usual, Charity's ability snapped into place, immediately giving her some rundown on the girl's abilities. not that Charity really needed it: they'd provided her with a file explaining most of the details. Charity also wanted to focus on the whole human aspect.

Like how the girl was apparently at least a little Southern, and how she almost immediately addressed Charity as "ma'am." Definitely an improvement from the oh so clever changes to her name that Charity had heard lately. "Nice to meet you, Kaylyne. You can stick with Miss Legrange or Miss Charity if you like," and they'd eventually work up to just a first name basis, but Charity was leaving that bit off for the time being.

Instead she gestured for the girl to have a seat. "Just go ahead and make yourself comfortable. Would you like anything to drink or munch or anything? I've got some, ah, water?" she grabbed the bottle and held it up, wiggling it slightly in what she hoped was an enticing manner.

[Kaylyne Graves]

She sat down, and looked at the lady for a moment, and gave a shake of her head to the offer of water, she was not really thirsty, and though was a nice gesture just did not need it for now. But the offer did make her smile little, as well with the ladies whole persona that was going on. "No thank you Ma'am" She spoke softly and politely as taught. And then returned her gaze to the room, she was not so sure why this location was choosing but oh well it was still decently nice and seemed void of people for now which seemed a little odd.

The whole waving of the bottle and the way in which the lady acted was so off that It threw Kay off a little. It was not a bad thing just seemed different then what she was used to, very very enthusiastic. But some people where like that after all so no reason to judge. "So uh what exactly are we supposed to be doing? I really am still pretty thrown off by all this. "

It was true she really was still unsure what to think about everything. But then again only time could actually fix that, but for now at least she had some one who would be helping a little or maybe a lot. That was what really made her want to be here so that she could figure out her whole new life, because it was pretty complex and hard to make sure you never get mad. So far she was doing a good job but that would only work for so long.

"Im guessing you know about my powers and such.. And that's why this was all arranged, since it is risky for the school to have me here, especially when I really for now have no control over my power, and that it is a rather dangerous power atop that all..I mean how many people can say they are the real life hulk and not green?"

She added the last part to be funny, though it was still pretty true. After all that was really the only thing she could think of when she thought about her power. Well that and a feral animal... Was pretty interesting over all.

[Charity Croft]

Again with the manners. Charity let out a slight laugh and lowered the bottle down, exchanging it for her own vitamin water. She took a quick sip of that, still looking to and listening to the young girl in front of her. Naturally Kaylyne had some questions. Some of them actually came a bit as a surprise to Charity, you'd think that someone would have explained at least some of it to the young girl.

"We're going to be training," she offered as an immediate response, adding a slight nod. She sat quietly while the girl offered her guess. "Yes, like that! Well, you should probably get used to people around here knowing your powers. Like," charity gestured, "it's sort of the thing most of us have in common. And as to your other question..." Charity paused, tilting her head to the side and counting, "Six? Give or take? I know there's at least four. I'm only working with you and one or two others."

Charity offered another smile and a shrug before moving some of the items on the tray around. She quickly found what she wanted: a few muffins that she'd made. She unwrapped one. "Would you like a muffin maybe?" Charity asked, holding it up. "I'm not delaying, by the way, or, like, stalling. I just want to make sure that we're all comfortable. We'll be working together, like, a lot, and for, wow, years," Charity let out a slightly nervous laugh and unwrapped a bit more of the muffin, again holding it out for the girl to possibly take.

[Kaylyne Graves]

Wow talk about giddy, this lady was most likely the most outgoing happy seeming person Kay ever had met. Well it was not a bad thing so she was not going to think badly on it, She was just really stunned. But one thing was for sure she was right with the getting used to telling people about her power. It was not that she did not like it, but more that she was unsure really how to explain it to people other then well I get mad and I break stuff, oh and I pretty much might as well be a human tank while I am angry.. It just seemed a bit off to her.

"Yeah you are right.. And their are that many people with a power Like mine? Or that many people that have powers that are affected by emotion? "

She was pretty curious for the most part, and honestly she had to stay positive on this especially since she was stuck her for a good long while, and that this happy go lucky lady infront of her was pretty much going to be the one keeping her powers on a good track and helping Kay learn how to actually use them.

"Okay so what shall we begin with? Or where I guess I should say as well.. Papa always did say only way to get good at something was to practice.. "

Just like her signing took a lot of practice learning to control her anger, and her power where going to be a lot the same. She was pretty ready for it, and was actually excited, not to mention the fact she enjoyed the idea of learning control and how to use her power, would be pretty useful if she knew how to fully control and function while using it.

[Charity Croft]

Charity considered Kaylyne's questions for a few seconds, tapping her fingers on the table. "Well, both? There are definitely more people with powers related to emotion. In fact, most powers get influenced by emotion, except for, well, stuff like super strength and speed, stuff like that.

"But yeah, there are some people with powers just like yours. It's all about amplifying the strength we naturally get from anger," Charity paused then, letting her own power do its thing in her mind. She literally couldn't help it: sit her across from a mutant and her power would kick in, soon analyzing and determining precisely how said mutant's power worked and where it came from. It worked even better when she saw it in action, but even just looking at Kaylyne was enough to set it off to some degree.

"As for where to begin,' Charity said, glad for something else to pick up as a conversation topic, "part of it is beginning here. I'm here to answer any questions you have and, like, get you oriented. You'll also get some homework, mostly just, like, documenting when your power goes off, stuff like that. Then we'll work on basics like control. Usually I try to figure out what you want and sort of go from there," Charity offered a smile, feeling pretty good about herself and where this whole conversation was going. Yeah, she was totally nailing this. Internal hi-five.
