"I think it's amazing that you can create stuff just like that," she told him. "I'd never be able to work it all out - all those wires and screws. Where did you learn all of it? It must've taken you ages!"

His smile widens and he can feel heat rising in his face. Or maybe it's just the bus driver turning off the A/C. Either way, the nice words are pleasant to hear. He sits up straight so Jack can better see the elephant, which has now morphed into a black bear. "Whoa! Can you do... a bee?" Jack turned to Phillip, an excited look replacing his previously shy one. "I really like bees." |

Philip gives him a crooked smile to confirm and a moment later, the bear melts into a bead of blood. He turns his hand over so his palm is facing upwards (its easier to control that way) as the blood levitates slightly, taking the shape of a life-size honeybee.

Jack grinned, staring at the tiny scarlet bee. "That's amazing. Really, really amazing."

The honeybee grows fatter and fuzzier, transforming into the bumble variety. Philip concentrates on its tiny form for a bit and soon, it's buzzing around silently, moving just as the other blood animals had done.

Fernando shrugged. "I guess I'm pretty great now, but it wasn't always that way. After my dad's assassination, I received all of his notes. He was the president of Shaw Robotics, you see. So, I decided to finish a project of his. I never really finished it, since it was way too complicated for me, but it set me on a path of learning. I gained even more experience from learning alongside Tony Stark, and next thing you know, all of those screws and wires finally make sense. I'd say it took me six years of hardcore dedication and learning. I'm talking about waking up, going to school, focusing on engineering, go to sleep, and repeat. But it got me here, in a bus seat next to you, so I'd say it was definitely worth it." He offered her a modest smile as the bus arrived at the school.

"Oh! Bus arrived," Jack observed, the color beginning to return when he glanced at Phillip, awkwardly reaching his hand around his shoulder. "Uh... you ready?"

Philip gives him a short nod, the bumblebee dissolving into liquid again and falling with a splash on his palm. He wipes it away with a small cloth, a thing he always kept on him, along with his pocketknife. Philip stands as the bus doors opened, picking up Jack again and carrying him bridal-style as the river of students flowed past and continued out through the exit. He suddenly remembers that Fernando had taken a picture of him carrying Jack with his phone and sighs to himself. Great. He'll probably use it to blackmail us at some point in the future.

Victoire allowed herself to be swept up by the current, bright-eyed as she neared the door. This is gonna be fun! First day at the new school, first day with the new team... I better make a good first impression. But it's also important to pay attention to the impressions everybody else makes. I wouldn't want to make that mistake again.

Jack held on tightly to Phillip, trying to block out the sounds of laughing students. I need a new foot I need a new foot I need a new foot I need a new foot.

Philip gave Jack an apologetic glance, feeling his cheeks redden at the other kids' stares. It wasn't like helping him out meant they were in a relationship or anything. Still, the unwanted attention was hard to ignore. When the chance arose, Philip slipped into the aisle and hurried out of the bus.

Philip subconsciously held Jack tighter, in an almost protective way. He wasn't even inside the building and was already faced with a situation in which he couldn't even tell the person he couldn't speak. Instead of embarrassing himself, Philip shook his head quickly but tried to give the boy a thankful glance as he hurried away to wait for Fernando with the wheelchair.

Lauren returned Fernando's smile as she rose from her seat and made towards the door. "It sounds like you've had a pretty incredible past," she said over her shoulder before hopping down onto the pavement.

Jack glanced at the boy quickly, eyes narrowed. Oh god, someone actually mentioned it. Why. Why. WHY.

Fernando got up behind Lauren, lifting the wheelchair above his head. "Yeah, incredible. I guess it's hard to not be incredible when you're me." When he stepped off of the bus, he undid the wheelchair and set it up in front of Philip. "So, where do we go now?"

Jack nearly threw himself out of Phillip's arms in his attempt to scoot into his wheelchair. "The office, so you all can get your school schedules. That's past this gate and in the courtyard."

Philip stepped back, startled and maybe a bit hurt by Jack's sudden movement and will to get away from him. Uncertainly, he walked ahead a bit, silently wondering if he even still wanted help.
