Ok, so I’m deciding between a Pirate and the queen of hearts for Halloween, what do you think?

[batoutoftime-blog]

I’d say Pirate, Anything Card related leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

It was peaceful at night, quite possibly one of Claw’s favourite hours to be wandering the halls of the Academy. Not that he wouldn’t have preferred to be back in the comfort of his own home, which he would have delighted in. However much to his dismay the professor found himself forgetting tomorrow’s class planner in his common classroom. 

Despite the hour of evening, the man was just as every other hour, dressed in one of his many three pieced suits and matching Italian leather shoes that left the slightest of echoes with each step. Walking in to find the doors already open left the most curious of expressions across his face, let alone when he found the silhouette hovering over his desk. Taking a moment to clear his throat before speaking, his words were simple enough. “And what might you be doing at this hour?”

Terry looked up from his spot over the teacher’s desk. “man i really miss having the old man watching my back.” he muttered to himself. “ Me? What about you? Don’t you have better things to do than paperwork past midnight?” 

Honestly  he hadn’t been doing anything too bad, just searching for books to help blend into the current time. Terry didn’t want to put himself on the line with slang like schway, so the english/lit room seemed like the best place to start.

As doorways passed and Damian’s feet shuffled against the worn out school tile the young student couldn’t help but let out a yawn. As he wiped away the tears that had collected from the yawn he thought to himself, maybe it isn’t a good idea to test how long I can stay up… Three days had already passed and he wasn’t even seeing hallucinations yet. It was safe to assume he could stay up for a lot longer than a normal person. 

“Pff.. I’m not even that tired.” Damian mumbled to himself, “Did I just say that out loud?” He scratched the back of his head as he glanced around to see if anyone had heard him.

[batoutoftime-blog]

“Yeah, you did. How long you been up?” Terry seemed to walk out of the shadows,(A trick he picked up from the old man) He watched the kid for a second before continuing. “ as a follow up, there a reason you look like death warmed over?”

“School.” Wanda told the boy with a nod to affirm her words. She offered a smile that was slightly confused as to why someone would ask what to do at a school, obviously school, but she went along with it. Maybe they didn’t have schools on wherever he was from. “If you are confused I could show you. We have math, powers trainings, and stuff with chemicals.”

[batoutoftime-blog]

Terry watched her with a raised brow for a moment. “ I’m aware this is a school, I meant what is there to do around here when not in class since this is a boarding school.”

“Nowhere. It was not a question for me,” Shiva replied, “but a test for you.”

She looked at him blandly, “You failed, of course. What were you saying about the future,”

[ldyshiva]

“Laze around until the boredom begins to physically consume you,” Shiva spoke from the bench, her eyes closed.

“Other than that, you may train, study, drink copious amounts of alcohol, and associate with both irreconcilable villains and sanctimonious do-gooders,” opening her eyes to look at the boy, “The question is: which one are you?”

[batoutoftime-blog]

“well, I suppose in the future i would be a Sanctimonious do-gooder, but I’m not the only bat in this time so i dont think I quite qualify.”He watched her meeting her gaze without blinking

“So where do you fit in to the equation?”

[ldyshiva]

“Nowhere. It was not a question for me,” Shiva replied, “but a test for you.”

She looked at him blandly, “You failed, of course. What were you saying about the future,”

[batoutoftime-blog]

“Of course,” He crossed his arms. “ Hard to fail what is essentially a no win situation. What I was saying isn’t really all that important.”

“It was supposed to be a genetic cure for muscular dystrophy, of which I was suffering from until a little over a year ago?” Aldrich explained, “which in itself, simply put, is a disintegration of muscles. I needed a cure, and due to a complication in my condition, I needed to test the cure upon myself. And it worked! Sortof….” he held up his hand, taking a moment to make his hand flare up again, this time letting Terry feel the heat as he flexed his fingers and smirked, “Don’t touch it, its at 1000 degrees currently.” he took a moment, letting the heat vapours be seen from his fingertips before he stopped, letting the glow in his eyes cease and his hand return to normal, “So, side effect”

[batoutoftime-blog]

“ So.. not so safe, yet it cured the main problem... Sounds like you should do a bit more research before you market that cure. So what do i call you ? the human torch... wait  that’s another guy and you’re not wearing blue....” He smirked slightly. “ Still,  to think that you never will need a campfire, must be nice.”

Aldrich blinked at first, a little confused til he looked at his hand and realised, “Ah, well this isn’t exactly a power per say, it’s a side effect, an exothermic reaction on a biochemical level. It’s nothing like some of the more blessed students around, but quite useful!” He chuckled, watching as the glowing ebbed away into nothingness.

[batoutoftime-blog]

“ It’s safe though right? Last guy i met that glowed was radioactive... It wasn’t a very fun time.” He smirked. “Anything that can be considered an advantage is useful. But if that’s a side effect, what is the cause?”

Kori smiled sheepishly. “I am sorry I was just saying there is quiet a lot to do around here” she said. “What kind of activity were you thinking?” she asked perhaps if she narrowed down the list it would help.

[batoutoftime-blog]

“I wasn’t, I was just trying to find out what there is around here to do. I just got here so everything is new to me.” he offered a small smile, the redhead was polite enough after all.

Awkward Hugs   Joker\Terry

[wedielaughing-deactivated201601]

“Ouchie.” Joker said flatly, bent down, recovering from the attack.

“You know, you should really work out more. Maybe perfect that swing.” Jack continued, straitening up. “My dear old dead mummy could have done a better job with that hit… And, well, she’s dead. Obviously”

[batoutoftime-blog]

“ Lucky her, means she doesn’t have to ear your lame attempts at jokes.” damn the joker had  a steel jaw or something, maybe it as because the gloves were in his bag and not on his hands.

Aldrich looked stunned for a moment, then when realisation dawned he gasped slightly, “Wow, I am SO sorry there man, uh….. You must be new, I’m seriously sorry. I’m not great with people jumping out on me. Actually you’re incredibly lucky!” He shook his head, taking a minute to calm himself as the faint glow of his veins could be seen beneath his skin before he smiled, offering his hand, “Aldrich Killian, nice to meet you”

[batoutoftime-blog]

He noticed the glow instantly.  “Terry McGinnis, You’re not related to anyone named powers are you ?” the glow reminded him of blight, that was something he would rather never relive ever again. “You’re fine, no harm no foul after all right?”

“i AM NOT ARGUING THAT WITH YOU”

[hotbloodedceo]

Aldrich Killian may have been in a great place in his life. He was back at Novus, he had his home life doing well, he was even daring to think about what kind of a career he could finally have with his abilities and knowledge. That being said, Aldrich still wasn’t TOO great at controlling his reactions. So, when someone jumped out at the young man and started yelling at him, he had but one reaction.

[batoutoftime-blog]

Terry mentally thanked the old man for all the training as he just barely managed to dodge the punch and put a few feet between the person infront of him and Himself. “ I didn’t think I had to say I wasn’t going to fight either.”

Awkward Hugs   Joker\Terry

[wedielaughing-deactivated201601]

A delighted smile crossed the maniacs face. “Ahaha! So my reputation proceeds me! Perfect!” Prancing forward, Jack made sure to get into the boy’s personal space. “But no hugs? How sad. Seems like you’re breaking a promise by not hugging me though… And that’s not very nice, now is it?”

[batoutoftime-blog]

“You know what else isn’t very nice? “

“That, That wasn’t very nice, but oh so satisfying.”

I dare you to yell "I am not arguing that with you!" at a random person in the hall.

Yeah, why not?

Awkward Hugs   Joker\Terry

[wedielaughing-deactivated201601]

“That is my name.” Jack replied, glancing over the newcomer lazily. “I take it you want a hug from me? I mean, it is what you said. Dear me, I do feel special being the only one who’ll receive a hug from a complete stranger.”

[batoutoftime-blog]

“That voice..... You’re ....” Terry took a few steps back. It would have been nice to have been warned that He was here. “ Joker....Oh someone is going to catch a beating for this dare. I’m not hugging you clown.”
