Lachlan toss the ball up and down. After so many years, its heft and weight felt nice. In just a matter of three years, Lachlan had gone from Rookie of the Year in baseball to Fortitude Hall rookie. Just another young person whose powers thrust him into a different path entirely. His brothers made it look so easy, with their careers in movies or music. He found himself scrambling for some control and at the same time, wanting to be the best, to master himself.

Maybe even become a Protector one day.

Walking through campus always helped that anxiety, and especially being in the gardens where so few students and staff would hang out that often. He didn't really know why, the place was quiet and offered a degree of privacy if you knew where to adventure. Because of this peace, he wasn't exactly paying attention to where he was going. As the ball fell back into his hand, he jerked around at the suddenly flurry of movement and a flash of solar energy ignited the object and it rolled from his hand.

"What? Sneaking up? This is a public pla--SHIT" The baseball in all its fiery glory was now rolling towards the bed of flowers and Lachlan scrambled to grab at it. "Fuck, fuck!" Lachlan cursed, tripping a little. Elegant. Very elegant. His cheeks flushed with stress and embarrassment as he finally snatched it up and soaked in the solar energy back into his body. "Close one."

It was a bit of a challenge to figure out his spot in this place. Fortitude was a place, he thought, to find himself, figure out that whole ‘what am I’ schtick. For Duncan, it became almost nauseating at how much he wanted to find a way around it all. That was why it was so easy to get lost in thought within these gardens. To sort of feel a sense of relaxation amongst all he had to do at this place. Maybe this was his chance to follow in the footsteps of the greats who came before him. He shook his head for a moment and scoffed. Maybe. Just maybe.

At the moment of him standing before the man, his eyes went a bit wide watching the ball catch fire like it was nothing. “Holy fuck!” He yelped out as he watched the man drop the ball before it hit the flowers. “Maybe I was the one sneaking up on you..” He threw out as he smiled a bit watching the man trip trying to stop the beauty of the flowers from being ignited. 

“How did you-” He stopped mid question as he watched the man absorb the fire back. “Impressive.” He chuckled as he tilted his head a bit. “Didn’t realize I’d cause a man to start a fire that quickly.” The man adjusted his leather jacket and nodded. “Sorry about that.”

Most of the gardens around campus were for both beautification of the campus and for mystic students to utilize in their studies. Of course, Kaveh tends to forget which gardens provide what so when he needs something it takes a couple od trys. He was mumbling to himself for going to the wrong one again and he didn't notice the guy until he was standing in front of him.

"I could say the same, though I'm guessing that means something different for you."

He peaks around the guy and sees the top of the bush that he's looking for. He sighs in relief then looks back to the guy in leather.

"Sorry. I've been walking around campus for an hour trying to find the right reagents for my homework. Didn't mean to interrupt."

He holds a hand out in greeting.

"Kaveh."

"Most things have a different meaning when it comes to me." He chuckled softly as he watched the other guy look past him. "Is there something behind me?" He quizzed out with a tilt of his head to the side before returning his glance

"You're fine, what reagents have you been looking for?" Turning his full attention back to the guy, he took the other's hand. "Duncan. Nice to meet you, Kaveh." Black Bird shook his hand for a moment before slipping it away.

"Must be a rather hard thing to put together if it's taken you this long to just find this one thing."

To be outdoors, that was a true peaceful place. Something that just brought Duncan back to a place of clarity. Almost like he was able to feel something other than the weight of all the responsibilities around him. To be fair, most of that weight was put on himself by himself. The boy never truly understood why he felt the need to be as good or better than his mother. Sort of like he was in competition to make sure her legacy didn't end in vain.

Duncan sat perched on one of the stone walls that wrapped around the garden. The one he found himself on was about three or four feet up above this beautiful array of flowers. Maybe he was naïve in believing that a small amount of beauty brought peace, but to him, it stopped his wandering mind. After all, the boy had many questions that lingered about his past.

Just as the wind blew softly, he closed his eyes and took a long, deep breath. Something to calm him. His lips pursed into a small 'O' like expression. At that very moment, he heard the sound of footsteps on the pavement around him. Without so much as a missed beat, the boy's eyes rang open as he dropped from his perch. Leather jacket spun from the wind.

As he stood there, he looked upon the other who entered and shook his head. "You really shouldn't sneak up on people." He laughed a bit mischievously. "I would have hated to scream."

ORIGIN AND NORMAL LIFE:

description on file :   duncan james was a boy who grew up with a mother who fought crime. she was once one of the world’s best fighters. someone who the world revered. throughout his adolescent and teen years, he began showing signs of powers. something his mother had feared for so long. he never knew of his father’s identity, or whatever became of him. all he ever knew was that his mother never wanted the man to find them, or find out he possessed abilities like herself. after his mother’s passing when he was nineteen, he began his pursuit of justice under the name black bird. a symbol of heroics and justice. that was until he arrived here. now, he’s on his own journey to learn what it takes to be a hero like his mother, and just maybe, he’ll be able to find out the biggest secret of all- who was his father?

behind the hero :    behind it all, duncan is a young man with a chip on his shoulder. someone who wants to be liked and seen as a good person, but finds trouble allowing himself to get close to people. that’s why, most of the time, he can be found listening to music or somewhere off by himself. sometimes the quiet allows him time to try and find out what is brewing underneath it all. he has found himself loving the outdoors. always wanting to take a run or hike. something that allows him to breathe and exist away from all the noise and fame of a hero.
