Alexander Athanasios Hmmmm New York! What a strange place.... *I'm now very glad that my parents paid for someone to come to the airport and pick me up from right off the plane. I would spend absolutely no time alone and I would be taken directly to Xaviers school for the gifted. I would get to see my big sister again! I would be able to see if she still remembers our old pranks! I would be able to give her a present and be able to learn with her! It's not fair to say I am excited about this day, No I'm beyond excited and the driver would be able to know it quite well, I was barely able to keep myself from jumping out of the car when he finally announced that we had arrived at the school. But when I do get out of the car I just stare up at the school with my mouth hanging wide open* wow..... *I'm amazed at how big the school really is... But it wont take me too long to get over it. Nope not long at all cause I know sis is inside and still doesn't know I am arriving here today on her birthday. I even have a present for her that I'm keeping close to my heart, Literally since I'm actually wearing both the gifts that dad had given me. He3 said it was for her birthday and for my "Birthday" of becoming a mutant, there nice little pendants of snowflakes... I'm gonna miss Dad... But I know this will all be for the best...* *Well anyway around it I would be finding myself somewhere to hide my things, I'm not even gonna bother with checking in or anything. Nope that would give away the fact I am here. Instead my things are put away somewhere I believe would be safe and somewhere easy for me to find them again. I do how ever go about asking about the where about of Dei. It wont take too long for me to figure out she would most likely be in the rec room, Or would be coming there soon. So that's exactly where I am going with some directions given. I would stop only long enough to fill up a water balloon and then find somewhere she would most likely like to sit... I had even heard someone say the birthday girl likes to sit by the window... That's the reason they left the chair alone, I would just grin slightly to myself as I snuck over there making sure Dei isn't around just yet. The water Balloon being sat in the chair. As for me? I'm going to quickly find somewhere to hide so she wont see me when she walks in. I have to see how she is going to react to this......*

Deianira Athanasios I'm not paying attention. Nope. I'm looking over a couple CD's I got as presents, and flipping through the pages of a book another teacher got me. I really liked my gifts, though I am a little disappointed. I didn't get anything but a letter and some pictures from home. I wander into the rec room, flipping over the CD as I head toward my favorite spot, I like to look out the window here, it's so pretty outside. Makes me sort of sad I can't go out there though. I turn around, and I sit, but it hits me, something is on my chair, then I know what it is when I feel it flatten a bit, and then pop. Who the heck knew about that?! Somebody been reading' my journal? Well no time for thoughts, as soon as I feel a bit wet, the watery mass of the balloon freezes, and I sort of slide off of it instead of getting completely drenched. "What the?" Somebody's gonna get it. 'Course I don't know who, or where they are yet...but they'll get it.

Alexander Athanasios *And she would hear a small kids laughter off a little ways from where she walked in, Somewhere she would of never ever thought of looking even if she was on top of her game which she wasn't....* hahahahahaehehehehe *I cant help it! It was funny! she fell for her own trick that she taught me!* *I would give her a few moments of cooling off, sort of anyway before I would peek my head out of my hiding spot looking right at her, waiting to see if she happens to notice me now or not...*

Deianira Athanasios That laugh...I know that laugh. My eyes narrow some in the direction of the laughter, then when I see that little head poke up, I just sort of...blink. I think I'm either dreaming, or I hit my head in a way that I had no feeling of it or memory at all. "...Alex?" It's quiet and unsure, before I draw in a deep breath and let it out with a high pitched almost blood curdling scream...then I'm vaulting over furniture to get at him. "How'd you? What're you doing here?!" I manage to get to him, or at least if I do, I would pick him up to hug him.

Alexander Athanasios *And I would be covering my ears at the scream of hers, Which would give her enough time to hurdle the furniture and get to me and pick me up for a hug., I have no problems with that. Matter of fact I hug her right back as tight as can be and am not letting go just yet* Hi sis! I'm here to learn.... *That's all she should have to know, Period if she cant figure it out from there? Then maybe I have been looking up to her for no reason* Daddy sent me out on a plane late last night of course! *I grin and then would plant a big ole kiss on her cheek and nuzzle into the hug a little more. She might notice the 2 golden snow flakes around my neck, She might not lets see what happens from here....* How have you been!? *Well come on now I have been away from my big sis for far too long as far as I am concerned!*

Deianira Athanasios I'm more clinging to him. I don't care that he'd be warmer than me, and it would be uncomfortable. My cooling aura might make him a little chilly. He got so big in the last two years. He's still that adorable little button nosed goob I loved then. Love now. I pepper his cheeks with kisses. He might notice that I have long scratches on my right cheek, still left over from my fight with Sabretooth, but they're healing well. I don't, however, notice the snowflakes...not yet. "I'm so happy to see you. God I missed you little goob." I pause then...at his words as I move to sit down, and I let him occupy my lap. I don't want to be separated just yet. "Wait...what do you mean you're here to learn?"

Alexander Athanasios *And I would be sitting in her lap as she sat down, I wouldn't be clinging anymore and I would be giggling just a little at the peppering of kisses on my cheek* I mean I am here to learn of course! *I grin just a little and then look at her closely. Pondering for a moment and then concentrating rather hard on the water that is left on her clothes.... Why there isn't much water left there, it's enough for me to demonstrate w3hat I mean by turning the rest of the water into Ice. She might be able to notice I would get a small headache at that point as my eyes would squint and I would look down for a few moments taking in a few deep breathes* *But she should know what I mean now. My head would hurt because well I'm still learning about all of this and for whatever reason as I'm learning I tend to get small headaches from the effort put into even freezing water...* Oh! Happy Birthday sis!! *I would grin at her and then my hands would go around my neck taking off the bigger necklace and holding it in front of her for a couple seconds* This is from the whole family! Mom and Dad said there proud of you! *I nod to her again and then would slip the necklace over her neck. The scratches on her cheek are ignored for now. But I do notice them, I just don't want to ruin the time I am getting to spend with her by asking about something that could be a sore subject... Though I'm wandering if she got them because she didn't want to listen again....*

Deianira Athanasios I watch him for a moment, the squinting..the..what's he...oh my god. Okay I know I didn't make my butt all icy again, no...Alex did. I squeeze him a little tighter to me, and I sniffle a bit. Tears are already coming to my eyes, starting to roll down my cheeks. "Goob! You're...you're a mutant too?" Dad did say he wanted to be, prayed to be. for a moment, I don't know if I'm happy or sad that he has to know this life. I'm happy that he's here though. Then the gift. The Happy Birthday. The mom and dad are proud of me. I can't help it anymore. I'm ..I'm sobbing now. Sobbing and hugging Alex tightly. "B..best present...ever.."

Alexander Athanasios Sure looks that way! *When she hugs me tightly again I would snuggle into the hug, My hand going to wipe away the tears before my head would lay on her shoulder. It's been a long day... and I am a little bit tired....* Mom and Dad thought you would like it... That's why they didn't say anything in the letter.... *Yeap I knew about the letter. I knew about everything that had happened in the last few weeks. After all how could they keep it a secret from me? I am basically the birthday present for my big sis* So is there anyone here like Anthony.... *I'm hoping she catches my drift at that point. and you know even with all the hugging and everything I cant help but stifle a yawn. Her colder skin isn't bothering me at all actually. I have gotten quite use to being cold with what little practicing I have done with my limited powers...* Any good TV or games around here? *Now I'm just curious to see what all they have, After all I was quite surprised to see such a nice school when I had finally got here, I just hope they have some good stuff on the inside too!*

Deianira Athanasios "There's a few games in here. One on the television, a bunch of Xbox games. People tend to share them here. It's nice like that." I place my cheek against the top of his head. I remember lulling him to sleep when he was a baby, like this. Mom took Anthony, but I always took Alex. We meshed...always felt like we were twins..maybe our souls or something. I dunno. All I can do is sit here with my baby brother tired in my lap. It felt familiar. Like home. "One. His name's Bobby Drake. He's like us..ice and everything I mean. He'll be a good Anthony." I chuckle, and I ruffle his hair softly. "I'll have to introduce you to my favorite teacher too. You'll like him. His name's Kurt." And suddenly there's no where else I'd rather be.

Alexander Athanasios *I don't remember being lulled to sleep as a Baby, But I have always known that I liked spending time with my sister more then my brother! and when she says there is a good Anthony I grin just a little* Sounds like we could have some fun.. *Another yawn is given, I cant help it I haven't slept since I was on the plane... That was a long time ago....* Kurt? Ok! I'm sure I will like him if you do sis *I smile just a little and then would snuggle into her arms a little more. This still felt like home even though I was a great distance away...* Oh my stuff.... it's hidden back in a corridor.... *It's said tiredly, my eyes are starting to become heavy. I had expected this for so long and yet now that the time is here all I can do is think about sleep....* Xbox... that's fun... I just hope there is a computer for me to play with my webpage.... *It's just passing conversation, and with her holding me close and a little bit of quiet? I would be falling asleep in her arms like old times....*

Deianira Athanasios I start to brush his hair back from his face, I know that's soothing, he always liked that when he was little. He'd curl up his little hand in my shirt, and he'd fall asleep. Like now, only...he's bigger now. "I'm learning how to speak German. Kurt is the teacher of that." I nod then, lightly. "Yep. There's a whole lab of computers. I'll show you all over this place tomorrow, okay?" Then I rub my hands up and down his back, soothing sort of things you do for a tired kid. "I love ya, Goob.."

Alexander Athanasios German huh? daddy only taught us Greek, Though I still have a lot to learn *Her brushing the hair out of my face makes me yawn a little more, my hands are curled up in her shirt now and I'm fading quickly....* Sounds like a plan sis... *At her back rubbing my eyes would start to close even more, there dangerously close to being completely closed. and when she says I love you? It just makes me smile a little* I love you too... *It's said just before I would yawn one more time, and that would be all she wrote. With the back rubbing and soothing I cant fight it anymore, and I would fall fast asleep right there in her lap*
