Upside Down

[Nico Martell]

These two reminded Nico more and more of the people he used to associate with back home. They did mean things simply because it sounded like fun, and damn the consequences. And as he always did, Nico felt like he really should care more, like it would be the right thing for him to intervene or to suggest that they stop being cruel or something along those lines.

He just didn't care.

He did care as they told him to go first. He gave them another flat look before stepping slightly to the side. Instead of gesturing or making a sarcastic comment, however, Nico faced the wall. he took a deep breath, focused, and stuck his head through the wall. He'd done it before, and while it could sometimes backfire, it didn't now. The lockerroom walls were only so reinforced on this side. Nico did have to lean most of his body forward, but he was able to get far enough into the wall that his eyes started to hover just at level with the wall.

And he held the position, looking first one way, then the other, all while hoping that the twins didn't decide it would be fun to just punt him to see if he'd go right inside. He did tap the wall to make sure that they wouldn't, but he doubted that a signal would mean too much to these two.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

He didn't say anything. He didn't put up a fuss, and he certainly didn't say no when they told him to go first. Apparently they were dealing with a pro Peeping Tom or this guy really was a Plank and just didn't care what you told it to do. The twins urge to have control over this 'new toy' started to surface a little. It would be so easy with this one, they could practically already see just dropping their homework in front of him and that he would just do it without a fuss. He would be the perfect toy, but they were supposed to not view people in such a way anymore.

Was it bad if the person practically seemed like that was what they wanted or were suited perfectly for? They felt like they could argue the point as they gave a confused look and watched Nico no go inside, but stick his head in the wall. He stuck his head in the wall! The brothers were now both wide eyes in amazement and wonder how he did it, if it hurt, and so many other questions. Of course it was a mutant ability but it still didn't make it any less cool as the twins just stood there and trying to not ask questions, since they were supposed to being all sneaky and what not. It was still very, very hard.

"Do you see any girls? Do you see anything at all? Does it hurt?" Casper could not help but to ask as he was tempted to touch the boy, but what if then his arm went through him? What if he pulled out the guys heart or something like that. It would be something straight out of an anime and while it would have been pretty cool it could also mean that they could end up killing the guy on accident. Then there was a tap. What did that mean? "Shit, do you think he is stuck? What do we do?" Jasper asked as a small amount of panic could be heard in his voice. They were still doing what one would call a stage whisper at the moment.

They were hesitant but soon the two of them were reaching out to try and grab a hold of the guy in an effort to pull him out of the wall. Yes, they liked to have their fun and didn't have a problem beating someone within an inch of their life, but this guy had only made them bored, not something that would make them want him to die. Something that would make them leave; yes, but not to kill or let him suffocate in the wall and die. They certainly were not bored with him now.

[Nico Martell]

Nico could sort of hear the twins talking. his head was near the wall, so he kind of picked it up like vibrations or something. He kept looking, figuring that they were more or less looking for girls. He thought he caught some movement in the back, and it appeared as though they were actually about the right age.

And now they were touching him. Apparently they'd read his tapping as "get me out of here." Well, nice to know that they actually cared enough to at least attempt to pull him out. Knowing Nico's luck, he'd get stuck the moment they tried, or they'd have superstrength or something like that and he'd end up taking the wall with him somehow. instead he just focused his head and pushed.

"Few girls, back," he said, tapping the part of the wall where he'd seen them. "Seem to be about our age," since he was figuring the twins to be about his. "Didn't see any monitors around," he shrugged. That didn't always mean they weren't there, but it did mean they'd at least have enough time to get a look. Nico was pretty confident that he could get away too, and probably could make a decent case for being dragged along for this one. Wouldn't save him from getting in trouble, but would definitely lessen the blow out of "back to juvie" range.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

They twins pulled as hard as they could, almost stumbling back a little when Nico popped right back on the proper side and was no longer in the wall. The twins were giving him a quick look over, making sure that he was all there and that nothing got left behind. It would have been very cool if something did but that also would suck for them. They didn't want to get in trouble for someone’s getting hurt if they had not done anything. They were perfectly fine with getting themselves in trouble without anyone's help or thanks to an accident.

"Dude, you just stuck your head in the wall." Casper pointed out, ignoring the whole number of girl’s things at the moment. They knew the guy clearly was not very lively but he could at least act like them pulling him out of a wall was a big deal. Or perhaps he had not actually been stuck and they misunderstood the tapping. They didn't know Morse code but it could have simply been him tapping out how many girls her saw. "So can you like...stick any part of you through things?" Jasper asked. Casper was soon hitting his brother and giving him a look. "What? Come on, you don't think he ever tried it?" Jasper asked his brother.

The two looked at one another and then at Nico a moment. They didn't really seem him doing such a thing unless being asked. Would he do it if he was asked? The brothers of course had not forgotten about the girls but they were honestly a bit more curious about this. Plus, if Nico was willing to do such a thing...well it would be far more interesting to see the girl's reaction.

[Nico Martell]

Nico stared blankly at them. Hadn't they been at a mutant school long enough to not be completely dumbstruck by something as simple as phasing? Hell, Nico's wasn't even particularly good phasing when you got right down to it. Still, they seemed pretty well fascinated and...

yeah, Nico had gotten that question before. He didn't even react, just kept the same blank expression as they talked about it, once more talking more to each other than him. "Can, but I get stuck sometimes, so I don't really want to try it," Nico said. he then pointed toward the door and raised his brows, clearly wanting to know if they were still going through with it. Or did the twins intend to continue standing out here and watching as Nico stuck other parts of his body into things?

Somehow, Nico had a dreadful feeling that the latter there was going to be what happened.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The siblings had been at the school for a year now, but it was not like they actually hung out with that many people. They didn't really have many friends and most people they were too busy messing with and pissing off to really get to know them. So needless to say they didn't really see too many powers or if they did didn’t really paid attention to ones that they were not all that impressed with. After all, they grew up in a circus so it took a bit more to impress them.

They knew how the trick of making your hand go through something worked, but Nico was doing it for real. This was no trick, so they were impressed and wanted to figure out how it worked. Plus there was that lingering question in the back of their minds that they had sort of asked. "Were you stuck just then?" Casper asked. Jasper was still hung up on the fact that Nico could stick anything through something and sometimes got stuck. Now he really needed to just come out and asking his question and was wondering if the guy ever got stuck that way.

"Have you ever...you know..." Jasper started to ask before looking around and moving to step closer to Nico. "Have you ever put your junk through something? Made your own glory hole?" Jasper went ahead and asked. He was dying to know because he knew he and his brother would have both tried something like that had that been their power. Hell, Jasper would have made a game of it. Seeing if he could pee through a wall and make it into the toilet. That would be awesome. Girls would come later; this question needed and answer first.

[Nico Martell]

Nico shook his head at the question. In truth, he wasn't entirely positive of that fact. He'd been able to pull back easily, but he never really knew whether or not he'd gotten stuck until it happened. By that time, it was generally too late to actually fix the situation, and he usually ended up somehow making it worse. This time? Nico was fairly confident that he hadn't, but who knew.

The twins didn't really dwell on it. Instead they had another question, which struck Nico as being not what they needed to talk about right now, not with the girls literally on the other side of a relatively unsupervised wall. "Remember getting stuck?" he pointed out, literally pointing to the wall beside them. "I don't want to end up with my junk stuck halfway between a wall and here. the last thing I need is some plaster swimming around in my balls. Now are we going to go in and look around or are you two going to get more homo?"

He looked to both of them, brows raising. Yeah, he did this, the whole snapping thing. He liked to think it at least took a while, and he had put up with a lot of shit. Plus, at this point, he was pretty eager to see what was on the other side of the wall. What guy didn't want to see mostly naked girls?

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

Casper didn't say anything and simply thought to himself for a moment once he had gotten an answer, well the nod. So Nico had not been stuck before and the tapping then had to mean that he was signaling that he saw people in there was giving them number of girls he had spotted before they had worked on pulling him out of the wall. Then it was onto the question that the brothers personally thought was far more important. They were curious, wondering if Nico had ever tried and what it was like if he did. They supposed they should not have been surprised when they didn't get the answer they were looking for. Well...he didn't actually day he never tried or thought about it.

He just pointed out about the topic of getting stuck and how he didn't want to get his junk stuck. Jasper was going to yet again ask if they guy had done it or thought about it, but Nico's comment had him giving the boy a look. "We are bi and we were not asking because we were trying to get with you or anything." Jasper said as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm into living things; the lifeless don't really do it for me." Jasper added, yet again referring to how this guy clearly didn't know how to have fun and was a stick in the mud.

"Let’s go check out the girl's before the mood goes bad and we have to beat you up or leave." Casper spoke up as he gave a tug on his brother's shirt. He then moved to try and push Nico into the girl's locker room ahead of them. They did want the other guy to go first after all and wanted to get right to having a look inside. It was true that they did want to see mostly naked girls after all, but they could not help but to wonder about other things as well.

[Nico Martell]

Yeah, it didn't surprise Nico to hear that these two were bi. They sort of had that kind of vibe, the whole, liked to have sex with just about everything and anything vibe. There was at least some sort of comment regarding life in there. was that supposed to be a diss of some kind? Because if it was, it was pretty weak, nearly impossible to understand and almost stupid on the whole.

Casper intervened, and Nico nodded. That sounded like a good plan. He didn't even fight as the twins started to push him into the lockerroom. Hey, it was better than standing out there. Nico headed in, looked around, and thought he saw a girl darting around a corner. "Still no teachers," he said over his shoulder, figuring that was what they cared about.

He was, however, tempted to dare them to actually try to hit him. He may not have the best control of his Phasing, but between that and years of fighting on the streets, Nico was pretty sure he could beat a pair of fairy twins. Would almost be worth it to watch them laying on the ground and groaning. Almost.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The twins would not have said that they liked to have sex with just anyone; they liked to think they had standards but in all honesty if someone was up for it then they were. As for with anything, that was not their style they were strictly only themselves and someone else, anything else they felt got in the way and took attention away from them. Still, it was true that they were not currently interested in Nico; he was not the kind of person they liked to go for. Hell he was hardly the kind of person they could see themselves dealing with for a long period of time.

Nico to them was just too dry, didn’t really react, and that was pretty much a no go for the twins. Even if a person reacted in a good, bad, or mean way towards them; it was still a reaction. Then they were back to their original plan of going into the locker room. Nico didn’t put up a fuss about being made to go first which was good but still boring. Didn’t matter now, they were in, and as Nico pointed out there were no teachers. “Sweet.” The brothers said as they then headed around Nico to go looking for these said girls because they were not here to be discrete about the whole thing forever.

“Hey girls, hey. No need to hide, we are just saying hi.” Jasper spoked up, being friendly even if this really was not the place to be doing such a thing. Especially not when the girls in their were likely changing and again they were girls and he was a guy. Rules of society and what not. “Going to scare them being so direct like that brother. We were supposed to sneak for a little and then make ourselves known.” Casper said as he let out a sigh. “Nico, tell him.” Casper added, which had Jasper looking at Nico now. Again all of this now was pretty much to try and get Nico to react. They had said his name loud enough for those in the locker room to hear.

[Nico Martell]

Sweet. Sure. Nico nearly rolled his eyes, but definitely entered. There were girls here: he was almost certain he'd seen one. Of course, they'd barely gotten inside when Jasper had spoken up. Nico did what he normally did whenever there was attention drawn near him: he darted out of the way and let the person in question get what they deserved.

In this case, that meant that when the twins turned, they'd see that Nico had already ducked down into one of the aisles of the lockerroom. The lanky Hispanic made quick work, darting around with someone who clearly had some experience looking about. He could hear the twins talking, realized that they would probably be looking for them, and so he held for a moment.

It probably helped that he could strain slightly and see curls of steam rising in the near distance. That looked quite promising indeed.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The siblings were not really used to people just outright running from the situation when they called a person out or tried to draw attention to them. Normally people would freeze there or freak out on them, but they should have assumed things would have not gone normally with Nico. Nothing else had. So when they turned around to look at him and bring him into the conversation along with draw attention to him; and he was not there, the brothers just stood there in a moment of silence.

Their minds just process the fact that they guy had actually run off and was likely hiding in the locker room or ran out of it. "He...did he really?" Jasper asked, still trying to process it all as he looked to his brother. Their task on coming to check out the ladies was none once again off their minds as they were on the matter of Nico having scampered off. "He did." Casper responded with a small nod. "Little shit head." Jasper muttered, not pleased at all that the other guy had actually disappeared on them. "I'm done. I don't give a damn anymore." Jasper said as he tossed up his hands.

It was with that, that Jasper headed for the way they came in, and fully planned to leave now. He didn't want to deal with this anymore, didn't want to make the effort to try and find a guy that was boring anyways, and certainly was not in the mood to be playing chase when he came in here for a peek show of shorts. Casper hesitated a moment, staying where he was while he looked around the locker room before deciding to just go with his brother. It killed the purpose of trying to mess with someone and get a reaction from them if they were not going to react and now ran off.

So the Emory siblings headed out, planning on going back to their room to talk about this Plank guy, and what they were going to do to entertain themselves with now.

[Nico Martell]

Nico listened enough to hear the twins. Oh, look, they weren't thrilled about being left when their little plan had backfired on them. There was also something about leaving, which just had Nico rolling his eyes. Seriously? They couldn't have caught more than a few quick views. Clearly these guys had some messed up ideas about what was exciting and what they should be doing and all that. Nico held still for a few more seconds, listening as the twins started to head out.

Then he decided to take a quick peek, looking around for a moment, sort of just strolling casually. He managed to do so for a little while, getting a quick peek at the showers and everything. It didn't last; he got spotted. And the moment he did, Nico did what worked for the twins: he ran for it. Ran until he ended up at the wall, then walked right through it, onto the outside.

Well, it had been weird, but there had definitely been an element of fun there, as there always seemed to be whenever Nico ran into someone who was part of the "wrong crowd." He had to wonder as he walked along, wonder if he should actually seek these two out, or if they'd even run into each other again. It was a small school...
