It felt almost like a dream — going back to school. He doesn’t know if there’s anything that would jump out at him. Jebediah is interested in engineering, good at putting scraps together into something else. He even caught the interest of Ted Kord, making him excited whenever the boy thought about it. He brings himself back to reality as they talk about his oldest brother. He wonders if some of the other teachers at the school don’t get along with him with his decisions to work for their enemy. Jeb isn’t about to judge, since in his experience Sam has his reasons for doing things. “Ah’ll remember t’ask him all about it.” He says this with a smile, but it quickly goes back to a serious expression. “Ah would like gettin’ ta be just JEB for once. Some o’ the townsfolk back home called me a ‘MUTIE FREAK’ instead of by mah name. Ah haven’t seen Sammy yet, but hopefully ah get ta see him soon. Ah haven’t seen him in over a year.” He misses him, always looking up to his oldest sibling from day one. He missed him even more when Sam left to be a HERO. “Ah wouldn’t mind training. It has been hard doin’ it on my own anyway. Ah’m interested in engineering, could somethin’ be done with that at your school?”
Kitty frowned and shook her head. “We don’t use those words, here, Jeb. At least, not at the school. Not in District X. Out in Star City, though? All bets are off,” she told him this point-blank but saw his earnest way of wanting to see his older brother, something she didn’t know much about -- having siblings, so Kitty nodded and tried to understand. “I’ll make sure he knows to get his butt down here to talk to you. Then, we’ll snatch you up.” Kitty clicked her tongue when he asked about engineering and the school. “Well, you could certainly get through your first two years at our school for your general electives and classes,” she offered. “But your technical classes, you’ll have to do those at the University.” A pause as she looked at him with hope. “And our school can train you in other ways. You could develop your powers, control them better, use them to help people. Isn’t that something you want to?”
