Arriving the Long Way

Nolan stepped onto the driveway leading up to the gate of the Mansion at the address he'd been given. For the trip he had to mostly rely on taking busses and a few train rides since he didn't really know the location he couldn't just teleport to the mansion. Though for some reason, he didn't really want to just teleport to the gate even though he could now see it. 
 
After a short gander at the mansion from the end of the driveway Nolan picked up his bag of stuff and started to walk towards the gate.  He moved the toothpick in his mouth to the other side of his mouth with his tongue as he approached the gate. He stopped at the gate, He gave it a slight push and fortunately it was open. He walked through and closed it behind him before going past a large fountain and then up some steps to the main door. He stopped and took a breath before reaching for the latch and opening the door. He stepped into a large foyer, dropping his bag as he closed the door behind him. "Hello!" he called out seeing no one immediately in the room.

Luna heard someone shout hello and the main door closed. She was about to go training so she held a bow and arrow tight in her hands. She walks to the foyer and sees a man. She smiles kindly. "Hello. I'm Luna Valkyrie. Nice to meet ya." She says in a slightly British accent and smiles. "Are you a new kid here or have ya been here before?" She ask with a tilted head and gold lion looking eyes. She was tempted to ask his power however she believed it was slightly rude. She pulls the leather jacket tighter around her body and looks at him closely tracing every detail as if trying to figure out everything about him. She smiles at him and puts her bow on her shoulder.

After waiting a little bit Nolan heard someone approaching. A girl about his age appeared toting a bow and some arrows. She introduced herself as Luna with a friendly smile before asking if he was new or not. He took his toothpick out of his mouth so he could introduce himself. " I'm Nolan." He started " Nolan Fletch, like the feather parts at the end of your arrows there." He said. "Yeah, I'm new here. Nice to have met you." He said giving a slight bow with his head, skimming over her face to try and commit it to his memory, before coming back to meet her eyes. " Is there anyone I should let know that I'm here?" He asked.

Luna grins and touches the feather tips lightly. "Nice name and that would be Jason Andrews, headmaster here. Just go to his office and voilà! You've introduced yourself to two people already." She laughs slightly and grins. She saw his eyes skim over her face and she made sure her gold eyes turned into snakes ones with a slit in the middle. She grins cheekily and streches her arms in the air, thinking of where Jason's office is. "To be perfectly honest, I'm new too...and I saw Jason in the gardens when I first came here on my motorbike...so...I've never been to his office. But I'm sure you'll find it just fine." She states with her eyes closed. She opens them and smiles, curiosity takes over. "I am sorry if this is rude but what is your power?" She asks, hoping he doesn't mind her asking.

Mackenzie wandered out of the kitchen with a popcicle on a stick in her hand. She had heard his mind before he was even a step inside the gate. She popped the popcicle in her mouth and stared at him in her creepy mackenzie little way with her face emotionless. She was scanning his mind for any danger. She was not a totaly people person. much less a new people person.

"Ha, Thanks." He said towards the comment on his name. Then she said something about the headmaster. " Oh,Good to know, That'll be some sort of record I'm sure. I'll probably find him eventually if I don't get myself too lost." He said jokingly with a grin. He'd started to laugh a little but then stopped when he noticed that Luna's eyes had changed. "Whoa, Cool eyes!" He said. Then Luna asked about his power. " Nah, It's not rude to me. I actually like when people are interested. Teleportation and Superhuman Senses." He stated. "Speaking of which, I believe I heard someone shuffling around elsewhere down here. And if it's all the same, do you mind me asking about your abilities too?" He said looking at Luna with a raised brow.

Carefully walking down the stairs that lead from the floor containing the library to the first floor, Cameron read from the latest book she borrowed: a collection of folklore from Europe and the Americas. Her over-sweater in a soft spring green, gently rippled behind her as she walked. While she could let her wings be exposed, she wasn't comfortable with that in all the places around the grounds. She was much more comfortable with them perfectly concealed until she was ready to show them. 

When she made it to the bottom of the stairs and began walking across the landing that would lead to the next set of stairs going up to where her room was, she heard voices: one familiar and one not. Cameron looked and noticed it was Luna and a new young man. She also spotting a little girl who appeared to have just visited the kitchen. Cameron didn't say anything, she simply observed from the landing, leaning against the wall and listening.

"Its alright." Luna smiles and laughs as he notices her eyes and at his joking way. "Thanks and pretty cool powers!" Her eyes turn darker as she senses two other people. She turns slowly and sees Mackenzie and Cameron. "Hey guys...whatcha doing?" She asks, eyes turning to her normal bright blue. She turns to Nolan again and grins. "I don't mind at all. We're all the same here. I'm an animal shifter...I also can do animal mimicry and control them. I ain't done so much with the controlling as I just never had to chance." She shrugs. "I'm up for deportations however my shifting is a little hesitant...but I'm getting lessons for a wolf shifter called Loika." She smiles and cracks her knuckles which removed the fur from her hands.

Mackenzie continued to nibble on her popcicle and joined Luna. She watched the newcomer closely from behind Luna. She peeked out from behind her quietly. Even though Mackie was being quiet her mind was reading every thought and memory of the new lady. That was how Mackie worked. Jason told her it was rude but she saw it as survival. When she was convinced the new lady wasnt a threat she reached out and took Luna's hand.

Luna feels Mackenzie move behind her and she looks down at her. She saw her look at Cameron and she gives a small smile. She feels her small hand hold her own and she grins. "Hiya Mackenzie...you okay?" She asks in a kind tone. She's met the girl twice before this and already cared a great deal for the girl. She felt the need to protect even though, she could look after herself. She's a powerful girl and her animals felt drawn with the need to protect her. She squeezes her hand with a caring smile.

When Luna noticed her and asked what she was up to, she held up her book to show she had just been to the library. The little girl walked up to Luna and then turned her gaze on Cameron. Sizing me up, I guess... She really was a darling girl. She smiled at her as she placed her small hand in Luna's. Cameron put her hand in her jeans pocket. Her fingers touched a lollipop she had stuck in there with plans to eat it while she read. She took it out and walk down to where she was standing. "Here," she said quietly and held it out to her. "My name's Cameron. What's yours?" she asked as she got down on one knee to be more on her level. While she waited for the girl to take the treat, she glanced up at the young man and smiled before returning her attention to the child.

Nolan listened to Luna briefly explain her powers. "Interesting." He said before sticking a toothpick into his mouth then rolling it to the right corner with his tongue so he could still speak if needed. He noticed two others now present in the room. A younger girl appeared first from the kitchen. Then a girl Nolan guessed was about his age or so coming down from the level above carrying a book. He watched as they seemed to gather, first the littler girl coming to Luna, then the one from above coming down and introducing herself to the little girl, giving her a lollipop. He smiled , "Do I get one too?" He asked jokingly stepping forward a little bit. "I'm Nolan." He said still smiling introducing himself to both of the new girls.

Cameron looked up at Nolan with a small smile, brown eyes smiling brightly. "Sorry, only one. But, if she would like you to have it, it's up to her," Cameron said, accent weaving lightly between her words. She looked back at the little girl with a small smile and winked at her, still on one knee at the little one's level, and then looked back at him, "It's nice to meet you, Nolan. I'm Cameron."

Luna watches as Cameron hands a lolly pop to Mackenzie, she turns to Nolan with a grin. "Hows it interesting?" She asks with a tilted head. She hears him ask jokingly about lollypops and she looks closely at it, recognizing it as a lollypop they got from a candy shop. She smiles as she has a whole bag on her. "I got loads if you would like one?" She reaches into her jacket pocket and pulls out two. She sticks a red one in her mouth and moves it to the side of her mouth, thankfully they were small. She tilts her head again but to the direction of the front door, listening. She smiles and looks at everyone. "What do you think of this place so far, Cameron and Nolan?" She asks them with a bright smile.

Mackenzie shook her head as she blankly stared at Cameron. " I dont accept things from strangers." Mackie used her Telepathy powers to speak into Cameron's mind. She had a bad habit of not talking and relying solely on her powers to communicate. She stared at the new man as well. Alot of new minds and new faces at the school. She felt Luna squeeze her hand and felt secure even though she could incompasitate everyone in this room.

Cameron heard the little girl's thoughts, and offered her a smile and resting her arm on her bent knee. "That's a very smart thing to do. I hope we can get to know one another so that I won't be a stranger to you," she said gently. Cameron stood up and put the lollipop in her jeans pocket. "I am very happy here," she commented to Luna. "It's nice to be able to be in a place that is safe and as wonderful as this. It's already home." She hadn't been there long, but it seemed like forever already, which made her happy. Cameron looked at Nolan, "How are your first impressions, Nolan? Like it so far?"

"Nah, she can have it." Nolan said. "I was just breaking the ice." He told Cameron with a smile. He looked toward Luna as he answered her question. "It's interesting to me, at least, cause up til now I didn't know anyone who could do that. Also I was thinking of the different attributes and strengths of animals that could be possible." He shrugged at his explanation, "it just came off as interesting." He said.  Then she said something about having some more lollipops and offering him one. "I'll take one if it isn't too much trouble." He said holding up his hand anticipating her to toss one if she chose to. Then came a question of what they thought of the place so far. "I don't know how I like it yet. I've only taken a few steps in the front door" he said shrugging.

Luna smiles kindly and throws one at him, seeing it land in his hand. She nods at his answer. "Well...I've never seen any of our kind in a...nice situation until now. So I understand what ya mean." She closes her eyes and breathes in deeply. Opening them again to show they are a molten gold. "Oh and if ya guys need anything, come find me. I have my ways to get things i need." She offers with a smirk then feels her phone vibrate. She looks at the screen and smiles, putting it away. "Just not this weekend, it seems I have to take a trip." She claps her hand happily and grins.

Cameron listened to what Luna said about their kind and her smile faded, slightly, "Until I came here, I didn't really even know what was wrong with me. Not that there is anything wrong, but I didn't have any answers to what was happening." She made a mental note about seeking out Luna if she needed anything in the future. Not sure what she would need, but a go to person is always a good thing to have in your bag of tricks. "Nolan, if you don't mind my asking, what are your powers?" Cameron asked meekly. She didn't really ever ask anyone that question, but since she lived among so many like her, why not get to know them better. Cameron looked at the now excited Luna, "Where you off to on your trip?"

Nolan took to thought what Luna had said about their kind as well as the tip that she could get stuff if needed. His eyes shifted to Cameron as she began to speak. He kept looking at her as he popped the lollipop in his mouth swapping it with the toothpick. Then she asked him his powers. " Teleportation and Superhuman senses." He replied back. " My teleportation was the first to manifest. Came during a baseball game, was focused on getting to first after I hit the ball- poof- I end up on first with everyone staring at me." He explained, gesturing the "poof" with his hands. " Used to love baseball, then I got kicked out for having an "unfair advantage"" He said, air quoting. "Got worse from there, going further and further into the social outcast label. Was tough for me as well." he said finishing up his brief story. He then turned his attention back to Luna. " Yes, where is this trip to?" He asked curiously raising his brow.

Luna listens to their conversation and laughs at his first time teleporting. She hears their questions and grins. "Gotta go to the statue of liberty...then if I don't get what I need, I'm going to Germany but I think I won't go to Germany...been there and it didn't go well." She points to a scar on her thigh. She shrugs and smiles. "All I know is I get to drive my baby. My 1967 black and silver ford mustang. Ain't driven her in ages!" She exclaims grinning.

Cameron smiled at Nolan's story as she crossed her arms in front of her in a comfortable fashion. "What a way to find out," she commented. "The Statue of Liberty? Cool, Luna! I bet you will enjoy it, no matter why you are going there. I've visited once or twice since moving to America, and it's quite the place," she said. "Was Germany not what you expected?" she asked about Luna's comment about her last visit to the country. Hearing about Luna's car, Cameron's eyes brightened, and she smiled. They had ridden in that very car earlier when they were shopping. "She is lovely, Luna," Cameron said.

Luna laughs and nods. "it's a wonderful place. Last time I was there, Blade was there...shot me in the leg 'cause I was a dove. Such an idiot. I should've known not to be a bird." She grins at the memory and listens. "Germany was rough I was there to find an old German fighter and there was this gang. Tried to beat the crap outta me. So did not work." She smiles. "Shes a beauty...I have the real one here and I drive around in a look a like as there is always someone out there who likes to hurt my baby." She shrugs with a bright smile. "Ill show you her sometime. Along with my harley davidson. She's a mighty fine bike, I'll tell ya that!" She says, feeling excitement rise in her, talking about her beauties filled het with pride. "I can't really ride 'em out in public for long due to me being young..." She sighs sadly. "I wanna ride fast. I'm one for speed, how 'bout you? With those wings of yours I'm sure you love to fly!" She asks with a grin.

Nolan hears about the statue of liberty trip. "Oh, nice. I really haven't been to New York much before. Haven't had much exploring opportunities yet." He commented, making a mental note that he needed to take a day to just explore the city and maybe scout a few good urban canvases while he was there.  Once he got a general idea of the city as well as the mansion better, he'd be able to teleport more with knowledge of where he was teleporting to. He was brought away from the thought when he heard mention of the mustang. "Woo, Lovely machines those are." he said thinking of all the classic mustangs and Harleys he'd seen at car and bike shows back home. "Truly man-made pieces of art." he said. "Always thought about getting myself a bike. Since it's not as cumbersome in a city setting as a car."

When Cameron heard Nolan mention that he hadn't been to the city before and didn't know many places, she offered him a small smile, "If ye like, I can show you some of the sites, Nolan. There are so many wonderful places." Cameron liked hearing about Luna's speed machines. She had ridden motorcycles before and did enjoy going fast, however, she never planned to own one of her own. When Luna mentioned her wings and how she must love to fly, Cameron felt a blush rise in her cheeks and she looked at the floor between them. She was still getting used to the idea of people knowing about them and it being alright. She nervously put one hand behind her head, giving her neck a slight rub before tucking her hands in her pockets. "Ummmm.... Yes. I.... I do love to.... To fly," she said uneasily. She raised her brown eyes to Nolan for a moment, and then to Luna. She saw her smile, and it comforted her enough to allow her to smile a little and feel the blush begin to cool.
