King and Lionheart - Ave/Garry

Grabbing her bag and rushing out of her dorm, Avery barely even had time to tick of a checklist in her head to make sure she had everything she needed. She would never want to make Garret wait, though it was something that happened more than she cared to admit, thanks to her bad time management skills and her poor planning. She took off down the hallway, half running and half jogging, pushing straight through a wall and into the small courtyard outside of the student dorms. The rain was beating down, so Avery pulled her jacket up and over her head. The denim was almost immediately soaked and stuck to her arms, but she kept moving towards the other side of the courtyard where there was a small shelter.

Once she was beneath the small sloping roof, she shook her hair out and saw it was already soaking. With a small grunt and a roll of her eyes, she stepped back out into the rain and marched towards the residents area. Water splashed from beneath the steps of her boots, kicking water up both the front and back of her jeans, which were now dripping and stuck to her. A shiver ran down Ave’s spine and the girl grabbed both sides of her jacket and pulled it closer to her. Muttering to herself, she remarked that ‘we might as well not even go to the pool, I’m already dripping.’ She continued to make her way across the institute’s grounds until she found herself inside the building in which Garret lived. She searched the halls for his room and when she found it (Room 32) she stopped, and wrung out the parts of her shirt she could reach. After a few flickering attempts, Avery managed to flash into invisibility and as she knocked on Garret’s door, she grinned.

Garret’s eyes flicked from his video game to the phone he held in his lap. “Come on, come on, come on, come on..” He mumbled under his breath as the controller started to feel the rapid taps of his thumb on the square button. “no, no, no, n- Shit!” He threw the controller on his bed and flicked his whole body backwards as the screen showed his score on the new Crash Bandicoot game. His sigh emanated through the now quiet room and he brought his phone up to face. Clicking the home button the screen lit up to show the time. “Nearly four.” He mumbled to himself and raised his body up with his elbows. Rolling off the side of his bed, Garry ran his fingers through his hair and made his way slowly over to his draws. Humming to himself, he opened the draws and fumbled around before managing to find the board shorts he had hidden. Despite the rain he knew it was gonna be a good day; Avery was gonna be there and that was all he needed. Hearing a knock at the door, he chucked his stuff into a bag and opened the door pulling Avery into a wet hug. His face scrunched up as he let her go and looked down at his shirt.

His eyes fell on how soaked she was and he shook his head. “I get your little fashion pact you’ve made with yourself but it’s pouring down out there, Ave..” He chuckled. “Take it off and I’ll get you a more.. Waterproof jacket.” His eyes rolled as he went to his cupboard and fished around for a bit. “Do you wanna get warm by the heater before we go so you don’t die or are you fine?” He raised an eyebrow as he chucked the jacket at her tiny body. Shoving his shoes on his feet, he looked around and grabbed his keys. His eyes met hers and he pulled a face as he headed over to the bed. “Ready when you are,” he chimed as he pushed the phone into his back pocket and looked over at her. His eyes looked her over and a small smile appeared on his face. His jacket was twice the size of her and although he had seen this sight before, it never got old.

Yeah, you’re right. Are we doing anything later? I’m so bored just sitting around in the dorm.

Of course I am.. Come on man. Always, wanna head down to the pools?

[deadlinc]

Did I miss an appointment? Why are you in my office?

[garretpls]

I was looking for Tabitha? We were meant to meet for lunch.

Oh, of course he did. I’d have done the same thing, especially if you’re gonna have a little cry about them in the meantime.

You know I only bitch afterwards, he’s probably got a black eye.

If you knew what was good for you, you’d just eat them off the ground -  little bit of grime never killed anyone.

Ellery scooped them up before I could, the asshole..

[garretpls]

I just dropped the last of the chips on the floor. I’m suffering.

{Garret Summers is a Twenty Two year old resident. His powers include all kinds of Energy Attacks and Generating Force Fields. He looks like Bob Morley and is Unavailable}

This Man’s Tale Begins With:

Garret Summers is the youngest of three mutant boys. He grew up in a close knit household up until his father started going out on missions. When his father was younger, he had been a part of the X-men and Garret was left at home with his brothers. All had exhibited signs of being mutants, but Garret never really paid attention to his. He felt that his powers seemed to run through the family and he wasn’t special enough to receive anything that would be different from his father’s or brother’s; A few energy kinks through his family made him sure that he would also get some sort of energy attack. Having to grow up in a small community in the Philippines, he was able to be around young children and have the fun childhood he did. All Garret wanted was to be normal, it took him a while to come to terms with his powers but he arrived with the help of his brothers. Having the supportive house that Garret did, he was able to enhance his powers with the people around him as well as stay in the ‘normal’ head space as well as area that he had so fondly grown up in. His friends were never allowed to know that he was a mutant and when his mother passed, it seemed it was harder for him to hide his powers. Having one of the biggest Typhoons he had ever seen happen, his community was almost wiped out. His father had been away and when it came to losing his mother, his heart was ripped out of him. The emotions whirled around him and felt himself and his self awareness expanding a little too late. He realised that he had force field generation running through him and he didn’t realise this until too late. Garret blamed himself a lot for his mother’s and everyone’s death once he realised. he could have stopped it. It’s taken years for him to grow from that but he’s been able to learn from his emotions and to elevate himself to learning about his powers.

Garret spent most of his time after that helping his brother’s rebuild their community with the few others that survived. It seemed that he couldn’t help as much as he wanted too and when his father came home, he decided it was time that Garret did what the rest of his family had done. Garret packed his stuff and ended up going to Leviathan Institute. At first he was a little quiet and reserved. It seemed harder for him to settle into such a bustling area and with everyone around him, he finally found himself relaxing and being able to explore even more of his powers. He was able to talk to people like Professor Stella Lunsford who also generated force fields and relate to her past. He found himself opening up and using his energy attacks to practice with others and help them further their powers. He found his calling at the school and that was something he thought would never happen. Garret wants to be a professor when he grows up and he’s aware that it’s taking after his father but he knows that deep down his mother would want that for him and he wants it for himself too. Having his powers that are easily hide-able has made his life easier and he can go out in public and not have to use them, but the controlling them is still something he’s learning to do. He’s been doing better now that he’s come to terms with his mother’s death and he’s able to feel comfortable in the place he lives. He doesn’t seem to be in full control, but he’s getting there. Garret found a helpfulness inside of himself when he was able to get a job at the Institutes library. He enjoys the bustle but the relaxing sensation of it; reminds him of home.

Being in Leviathan has been a life changing experience for Garret. He’s become a fun loving and energetic young man who enjoys causing trouble. It’s like himself as a child, but able to be an adult at the same time. He’s come to grips with his mother’s passing and he’s okay to talk about it. He still writes home to tell his brother’s about what he’s learning and he loves being around new faces constantly. With the new atmosphere came new friends and it was amazing to him. He’s become such good friends with Avery Black, Connor Lewis and many others. All walks of life are in Garret’s life and being able to pick up on experiences from them, which makes it feel very community like for him. He’s met all kinds of people and he enjoys getting to know more about other people’s powers. Being a mutant now excites him rather than makes him ashamed and he hates telling people that he was once ashamed of something so magnificent. Being a grateful person (now), Garret enjoys everything that he’s given. He enjoys the friendships he has, the fact that he can go to the gym and other places at much as he can. He can’t tell the future, but he knows it’s going to be good and he’s full of excitement and mischief every day. He’s aware that there’s trouble brewing and if he’s called upon, he’ll fight and he’ll do it for the right team; he’s just not sure which one that is yet.
