River sat in the corner. She watched the other people having fun and joking with friends. The pencil in her hand hit the paper and she started to write. She sat on the floor. She listened to the other's laughter and gave a sigh. She sat alone, not really wanting to be noticed. Her feet and shoes were were liquid, but still in the shape of her pant leg and foot. She looked around one more time and continued writing down her poem. Holding it close to her, not wanting anyone to see it. She would look up occasionally to make sure no one was coming over, or in her general direction.

"Oh my god, Hannah!" Willow squealed, running into the room as she snapped her cell phone shut. She was obviously very excited about something. "You'll never believe who just called!"
"Try me. Was it some guy you met at the mall who knows your a mutant, but doesn't care. Like you'll find one of those." Hannah said sarcastically, looking up from her book. She had just recently turned eighteen, but it hadn't affected her personality in any way.
"Remember that girl I told you about. The one I haven't seen for four years?" Willow said, stopping in front of her big sister.
"Your friend...uhm...Michelle, was it?"
"Yeah! She just called. I don't have a clue how she knew I was here or how she got my cell phone number, but she wants to get together to catch up!" Willow said happily.
"Okay....brilliant. Have fun." Hannah turned back to her book. Her little sister sighed and sat on the arm of the couch, muttering something about her not being interested enough.

River smiled slightly nad gave a small snicker. She tryed not to show it but she found this rather imussing. She looked at the girl who had been talking, Hannah, she thought she cought her name. River watched the girl closly. She looked seeing the girl was reading. She did a very un river like thing to do and stood up walking over.
"Hello... What are you reading?" She asked quietly.

"Bare Bones by Kathy Reichs. It's a forensic science story. Kind of like a murder mystery." Hannah said, looking up briefly. "And Will, don't say a word." She said warningly to the girl, who had opened her mouth.
"What? I just think you should read happier books. Like...Harry Potter or-" She was cut off by the older mutant, who sighed.
"I do read Harry Potter, Will." Hannah stated to her baby sister for the third time that week. "But I happen to like Kathy Reichs' writing a lot."

"My names River." River said smiling. Her feet here starting to turn to water again. A small puddle was forming under the table. River looked down and gave a small jump. Quickly changing her feet back, not wanting t embarrass herself. She looked up and acted like nothing happened.
"I hope I didn't disturb you... Did I?"

"Nope. No disturbance." Hannah said simply, marking her page and closing her book. "Now my sister, she disturbed me." She pointed at the younger girl, who stuck her tongue out, "But I suppose that's her job."
"Yeah, yeah. Very funny. Anyway, I'm Willow and she's Hannah. Nice to meet you, River." Willow said, smiling at the new girl.

River smiled and nodded. She want to hold out her hand but it started to turn clear and liquidy.... so she put it behind her back.
" This always happens!....Stupid power!..." She thought out loud angrily. She looked at them and offered her other hand. She looked at the ground making sure her feet were normal still.

Willow shook her hand, and Hannah followed suit, though it was brief. "So...you turn into water? Never heard of that power before." Willow said, looking curious. She nudged Hannah with her foot from where she sat on the arm of the couch. The older girl glared at her, but stayed silent. Hannah wasn't the best when it came to new mutants.

"It's Liquification. I can turn my whole body, or any part of my body into water.... But it always works when I'm nervous, scared, or angry... So..." She took a small step back so they could see her feet. Which were slowly turning to water. "I really hate it..." She said turning her foot and part of leg back to normal. "I don't see how it could be useful..."

"Good camoflage in the rain. You can use it to get into places others can't. Or..." Willow grinned, "You can go through drain pipes." Willow clenched her fist and immediately, fire burned to life, covering her arm. "I'm a pyrokinetic. And I can make and manipulate smoke."

"That would be a cool power!" She smiled and nodded. "And I guess your right about the drain thing.... I don't think I see very much potential in myself...." River said looking at the ground. "How did you find out about your powers?" She asked her voice slightly louder then it had been a few minutes ago.

"They manifested while I was in a mall in Chicago two years ago. I was with a couple of friends and I got a headache. Next thing I knew, I set a couple of plants on fire." Willow said. "But, I've got pretty good control over my powers. Hannah, here, she's a expert. She's had her powers for seven...eight years."

"Oh, I had a bad incident with a herd of cattle... and a semi...." River said. Looking at the ground. "Thats why I have this thing with large groups running at me... and vehicles..." She said shyly, feeling a little stupid for asking.

POOF! It was always poof. Huntin the short had always wanted a more memorable sound effect to his teleporting like PO-PO-ZOW! or SHAZAAM! But no, he got POOF. The Kermit-complexioned boy found himself landed cross-legged with his bag of Cheetos between the watery girl and a chick he recognized from the training room.
"Um...." He hoped he wasn't interrupting anything terribly important like period stuff or gossip. "...Cheeto, anyone?"

River jumped and fell to the floor in a puddle of water... usual reaction. Water bits were on the back of the couch and all over the floor. The droples started to draw back to the original spot and River formed again. Looking like she had been scared out of her skin. She looked at him and smiled slightly. Trying to be nice she squecked.
"I'll have one."

A blink. Another blink. "Wow...were you a bed-wetter by any chance?" He held out the bag of Cheetos to the water girl. "Hey, out of curiousity was it the poof or the green skin?" His smile was soft and bashfu, a bit lopsided. He was obviously used to those sorts of reactions...course, he had never made a girl melt before.
"Sorry I know where I'm going when I do that but not who will be there."

Kat walked in the living room, intent on playing her keyboard, which was strapped to her back, in private. She looked around and spotted River, a guy with green skin, and a few other people.
"Crap. Hey River!" She said, waving at the only person she knew before tiliting the black beret over one of her ears.

"Hey, Jolly Green Midget." The boy named Artemis entered the room. The fact he was calling a kid who had an inch or two of height on his a midget was beside the point. "People who cannot /teleport/ cannot /keep up/ with you!" He spoke with a french accent, c.ockly flipping his white blonde hair out of his gray eyes.

"Sorry, Arty, didn't know you were following me." He grinned and tossed a Cheeto at his teammate. He looked lazily to the grl that just entered and folded his knees up to his chin. Then he spotted the keyboard. Mother of GOD he needed to play soon or he would die. "Hey....girl with the keyboard...um....." He usually wasn't bold but he was DESPARATE! "Can I borrow that for a few minutes some time?"

"Um...my keyboard?" Kat asked, surprised that the green guy would ask her so brashly. "As long as you know how to play, you can borrow it right now, if you want." She said while entering the room and unstrapping it and placing it on the floor.
