Tidal felt her cheeks burn crimson, flinching at the memory. "It's nice to meet you to." She replied, twirling her hair between her fingers and yawning slightly. It was early. She needed sleep. She itched the side of her arm, stuffing her hands into the pockets of her sweater.

Willow looked away from Tidal, thinking. Willow had crept into her sister's bedroom the night previously and they had talked for a good two hours. From what her sister had said, Tidal had been terrified when she came in. Seeing as she and Amara had passed Ellen on the way to the, she was pretty sure that Ellen was the main factor in her anxiety. Hell, when Willow first came, she met Health who had welcomed her, Ellen was kind of the complete opposite.

Tidal looked down at her hands, pinching herself harshly, telling herself to straighten up. She cleared her throat, shifting from side to side but never sitting up. She took out a bobby pin, poking herself harshly with it. Stop being such a wuss, she said to herself, clearing her throat. She lifted her head, looking at Cole straight on.

Minecho turned to look at Tidal and Willow with interest at their conversation as he tried to learn as much about his new team mates as possible for future referernece if ever they needed to defend themselves then he'd know who'd be good to do what, he wasn't no leader by any means but he still liked being alive and if that meant researching every team mate from the inside out then so be it. He then began to notice Tidal poking herself and quizzically asked her "Why are you sticking yourself with a bobby pin?"

Ellen looked around the group and shook her head and smirked, she had to remember that these were kids not military personnel. She was use to the latter, well at least the kids had an excuse to be annoying. Ellen went over to a nearby box and withdrew several watches and threw each of the new students a watch.
"And Cole, may I remind you that we have to teach these kids survival against the world. Last time I checked you can sugar-coat these types of things," Ellen said the hardness in her voice not leaving even if her eyes softened.

"And how would you rather them learn it? From a teacher with a bad attitude they'll by nature rebel against, or one with a calm mind, who treats them as equals?"
Cole shook his head, "I don't know what's gotten into you as of late, but I humbley request it knock the hell off."

"Maybe a little rebellion is good, it'll help them think for themselves," Ellen said looking Cole straight in the eyes with her hard brown ones before turning to the new mutants, "These watches, thanks to Iris, are able to take the clothes you're wearing and rework them into your uniforms for battle. Keep them with you at al times because if you haven't noticed this place gets attacked at least once a week."

Minecho caught the watch with ease as he looked it over a bit trying to figure out how this thing actually worked as Ellen explained to them what it did. He put it on slowly as he looked back to Ellen listening closely to what she said, figuring that it was definatly important information and glad that it seemed she was understanding that they were only youngsters here.

Anastasia fumbled as she caught her watch, slowly placing it on her watch, looking at the ground. She ignored Minecho's comment about her poking herself, figuring it did'nt matter and he'd forget anyhow. She cleared her throat loudly, sitting up straight. She did'nt dare look up, keeping her eyes fixed onto the ground.

Willow, always the perky one, smiled chipperly as she caught her watch and put it on her wrist. She had been told in the past that her undying optimist attitude could get rather annoying. She restrained herself from pressing the button she knew would change her clothes into her battle uniform.

Minecho then looked back to the watch for a moment gazing at it for a moment longer before thinking back, remembering that he hadn't gotten an answer from Anastasia about why she had poked herself and decided to ask again "Sorry to be a nuisance but I'm still curious as to why you had poked yourself with that bobby pin. If you care not to share with me that is totally fine, you can just let me know you don't want to tell me at the very least." he whispered over to her so that only she could hear him

Anastasia fumbled with her watch for a moment, her cheeks burning crimson when Minecho whispered to her. "I was just bored, ya know, trying to unbore myself." She lied, shrugging it off as if it were nothing. Hey, she did'nt stab herself, right? Was'nt THAT big of a deal.

Minecho shrugged at Anastasia with a small smirk on his face, he knew she probably wasn't telling the truth but poking and proding a team mate for information wouldn't be too kind. He looked around the room once more as he thought before asking "So, will we be learning anything about our wonderful Leader or Captain? Or is that classified information that we youngsters need not know?"

A Native American girl with her hair in braids made her way into the room with a duffle bag in her right hand.
"Ummm...I know I'm late," she said quietly. "But I was told that I was on the Sigma team...this is the right place, correct?" She looked around nervously.

Willow, ever cheerful, waved slightly to the new girl. "Hey, welcome to Sigma. I'm Willow." She grinned, happy to see another new mutant. They seemed to be coming in tiny groups lately.

Minecho looked a bit surprised at the newcomer not expecting anyone else to show up before he stood up with a smile and extending a hand said "Welcome, my name is Minecho and it's a pleasure to have you here with the Sigma team, would you like to introduce yourself to the group?"

"Umm, yeah sure I guess, that's what I should do right?" Raina smiled awkwardly. This was going to be harder than she originally thought..."Well, my name is Raina and I come from Long Island. My grandma talked to Professor Xavier and they both agreed that this was the safest place for mutants...so, I came here."

Minecho took his seat on the floor again slowly listening to the girl closely before replying "Well I can say that Xavier and your grandma chose right, this is the best place for new mutants, I hope you do well here as well and I'm sure the whole team will help you as much as possible as well, just ask."

Anastasia smiled widely at the newcomer. "I'm Anastasia!" She exclaimed brightly, waving at the girl.

Ellen tossed a couple more watches to the new people, looked at her own watch, "I guess that's everyone," she sighed and then tapped the face of her watch, "Well it's that time chickies, we should head down to the Danger Room before someone tries to take our spot."
