An Education.
Day Two of public school did not appear to be headed down any more positive a path than Day One.  Kassia arrived early so she could stop by the office and pick up her class schedule, only to discover that they did not yet have her name correct.  She was now "Grace McKenzie".  She gave up at that point, realizing that any further protestations would just piss off the administration and also likely leak her identity as an Atlantean princess, which would piss off Namor.  Truth was, Kassi had no documentation with her name as Kassia save for Atlantean paperwork.  That they were able to get the McKenzie right was a step in the correct direction and she took it.

There was then the matter of her locker.  Kassia couldn't make the lock open, her efforts resulting in the lock breaking in her hands.  She was going to have to carry her stuff in her bag, which was fine.  She could handle that, but she was late for her first class, got lost finding her second, and by the time lunch rolled around she managed to spill juice on herself...and discovered there wasn't a single vegan option available.  And asking for one had gotten her weird looks from the cafeteria staff and students alike.  By the first class after lunch, Kassia had earned the badge of "Weird New Girl".

This wasn't going well.  When Study Hall arrived, Kassia found a spot at the furthest table away from everyone else and wished briefly that invisibility was one of her abilities.  She could use it.

"...Oh, that's not happening. I can't do much about much, but no way are they going to starve you. Hold on a minute." Mac pulls a hair tie off his wrist, pulls his hair back into a neat pony tail, takes a moment to just sort of let his delivery-boy posture straighten into 'cop' posture, and walks right into the school.

"Oh crap. Mac. MAC! You're just going to make things...worse."

Kassia sighed, a little defeated as she watched him storm right in. There was no stopping him so she resigned herself to following along.

"Excuse me, Ma'am," he addresses the woman in charge in the cafeteria politely, looking for all the world like he's still on patrol with his father, except for the lack of spacesuit. "But there are certain requirements to accommodate the needs of lactose-intolerant students and those with egg sensitivities, right? And you really have to have some options for those who can't have meat for health or religious reasons, or you're getting yourself in a very actionable position with those ACLU nuts. So could it be possible to put all those accommodations together starting tomorrow? My cousin needs something she can eat."

Kassi half winced as this confrontation went down. She didn't see this going well and really wanted to hide behind her hands as the woman began questioning Mac as to why she couldn't eat what was provided.

Mac stays calm and polite. "In all honesty, I don't fully know the reasons behind her dietary restrictions. I just believe it would make sense to be able to accommodate those needs. If you can't, let's just clear that up right now, so we can just... keep that in mind, and she can start spending her three bucks elsewhere. So can you, ma'am?"

When the woman said she'd have to speak with administration and that there would have to be some sort of official request, Kassia just grabbed Mac by the wrist.

"Come on. I get enough shit at this school already. I don't want to be a total outcast."

Mac sighs, nods to the lady, and says, "Suggestion withdrawn, thank you for your time, ma'am."

And he'll leave with Kassi. "Okay then, we'll make your lunches. I'm sorry, but it seemed worth a shot. I just want to look out for you."

"I appreciate that, you know. I just...I already stick out like some freak and I would like to somehow try to minimize that. I've managed to kind of make one friend, but everyone else eyes me with great suspicion. Or like I'm a weirdo. I'll let the vegan thing go this time just to fit in even a smidge."

He nods. "Brownbagging it is then."

"Not for that. Plenty of people bring their lunches to public school."

Subject change. "So who's the guest?"

Kassi's eyes lit up immediately at the subject change.

"His name is Ben. We have Algebra and study hall together. He's coming over to watch True Blood and once we've finished that I'm borrowing your Sons of Anarchy dvds so we can watch that, too. He plays basketball."

Mac smiles. There's no resistance to having his stuff commandeered, either. "That sounds like a great plan."

"He's bringing food by. I've warned him that I'm vegan, but thus far he doesn't think it's weird. Either he's really cool...or something."

"He's aparently the school star, if the glares the girls were giving me are any indication--and with girls it usually is. And he's coming over tonight. Which means I'll probably get beat up tomorrow, catfight style."

Mac's tempted to wonder just how good this kid is. If he's really, really good, maybe Mac can ask him for little one-on-one without its being pointless. But he doesn't want to hijack Kassi's guest, of course.

Back to being the optimistic reassurer. "Even if they get that upset, I'm pretty sure the Fist can hold her own against a bunch of catty schoolgirls."
