Training (cont'd)
(continuation thread from this due to code breaking awesomeness: http://www.scribbld.com/community/marvel_year_one/6421.html )

Good, this was turning into a more even competition with the girls getting the hang of it. The boys had good plans but with Annamarie's precision at this sort of prediction and Kitty getting more comfortable with phasing...now they were really challenging each other.

Perfect.

Because if they were this good against each other, put them all on the same team later and...she really had put together a class with excellent potential. A slightly smug, yet proud smile reached her lips as she watched the proceedings. Yes, she had done this well.

Emma sat back and just listened in, letting them go through with their plans without interruption right now.

Calvin has seen some of the ways the world can treat people. Now that the mutant situation has hit home, the idea that it could only get worse is no shock.

And if this is going to be powers-training-boot camp... so be it. He has seen the potential of these powers, and he wants to learn. And he wants to learn it Emma's way. She seems to know what she's doing so much better than any other authority he's run into.

"We just have to look out for each other. I'll help with any training things I can."

Emma, at least, has definitely figured out motivating one of these kids.

Kitty felt her cheeks redden a bit, and slunk down in her chair. Before this, the worst she'd ever had to deal with was maybe getting a B+ on a test. Heck, if anything, she'd caught more flak for being Jewish. Not that anyone besides the people here knew she was a mutant. But it's not like it was something she had to tell people either.

Privilege. Huh.

"Ah... I'd just as soon skip the running, thanks," she said, trying to get some control over her mouth.

Guys on the lawn with guns? What the heck have I gotten myself into...?

	Annamarie sees Kurt flinch and reaches for his hand tentatively, since even with her gloves on she doesn't want to make any sudden moves. Things that will make her brother more comfortable and happy are silently added to the analysis agenda for tonight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There are a lot of thoughts coming through, many need to be addressed eventually, but she preferred it this way. Better to have something prompt these things to the surface than have to try and dig, it told her so much more.

"Good, let's not stoop to running and other such boot-camp idiocy."

A slight breath out and she looked over all of them again, taking in all those concerns mention of mutant issues brought up. It had to be said, and they had to face the truth of it, though most already had. "I will say it again, they think this world belongs to them, that mutants have no place in it. They are wrong, fearful, small-minded and cowardly." Some of that cold anger shows through there. "We do have a place. All of us." But she looks pointedly at Kurt. "And I will make sure you all come to realize it." It's Kurt that's still getting the look, because she can hear those thoughts, but visible powers or no, she was saying that he wasn't being left behind, he had potential for greatness too. Emma Frost did not pick subpar students.

And because apparently this needed clarifying and reassurances... "As for people on lawns...you are all my students, which means you are under my protection. If any unwelcome visitors should decide to come, I will deal with them. Personally." And that Frost will shined through there. The sort that helped her father so ruthlessly crush his enemies, family included. The same Frost will that had Emma cut all ties with him years ago and pull herself up from nearly nothing to great heights of success. No, when a Frost wanted or decided something, it happened.

Mission statement said, of all the subject changes to pick, perhaps this was a bit odd and one of those ones where it felt like you were dropped into the middle of something with no context but...that was telepaths for you. "Annamarie darling, we really do have cookbooks if you need referencing." She might not cook, but there was such thing as common sense

Yes, ma'am. Apparently Kurt needed to work on his poker face, too. And brain. He needed a poker brain. He squeezed Anna Marie's fingers in return and smiled when she took his hand, but looked slightly embarrassed at getting caught by both of them.

"Calvin's right. We can look out for each other, help us get better," he offered to help the mood. He had liked thinking this school was all there was to the world, but they had to be realistic. Emma couldn't save them from everything, even with all of her powers and will. "We're in school to learn, ja?"

	For as much as additional talking in her head isn't particularly Annamarie's thing, she doesn't have much objection to the listening. "This stuff ain't in cookbooks, Ma'am. I can handle it." And then she can do all the practice she needs, because she won't have to sleep for a while. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Just what had she gotten herself into...? Kitty didn't want to save the world. She just wanted control over her powers.

But how selfish was that? Especially when she could tell just how much being a mutant had contributed to the others being... damaged goods? Ugh. So not the right way to think about it. But life had dealt all three of them way more harsh cards than she had.

But did that make it her responsibility to save everybody? She'd be fine just riding beneath the radar.

"Here to learn," she agreed.

	Calvin is all too familiar with the real world. Emma had brought him out of a bad place, and he'd never seen any better options til now. Emma and Annamarie are doing a good job convincing Calvin of the 'in this together' thing in the meanwhille. "To learn, to get better. To be prepared for whatever comes next."

A thin amused smile appeared on her face, and the briefest or derisive chuckles. It's not at Annemarie, though it may certainly seem like it, but really....saving the world? What ideas this girl had...

Oh no darling, I may get lofty at times but I'm not some boundlessly optimistic and purely altruistic fool. You don't need to worry about saving the world. If I was to decide to try saving mutantkind as a whole, I certainly would pick a more efficient and effective method than simply opening a school with five children.

"Wonderful, we have a suitable school motto full of sappy philosophical meaningfulness. All it needs is to be in latin." Though it's said with that dry snark rather than any actual disapproval. Much like Annamarie's recipe plans, it had the important thing. "But at least it has the right sentiment. You're here to learn, and I'm here to teach you. And as I hope this training session has shown, there is certainly a lot to be learnt. If any of you have any specific or personal questions or concerns, you know where my office is, and in the general direction to think loudly in."

"Cooking?" Kurt repealed the term and looked at Anna Marie with interest. That was a topic he could handle.

It seemed like everyone was okay now? Emma thought they were funny, Kitty was squirming, his sister was plotting... But this was normal now? Did they get to a good place after the lesson and apparent discussion of their purpose here? Frankly, it didn't matter; he liked it here and wanted to help everyone, keep them safe. Plus, this'd mean learning to fight as well as trig.

	Something about all this... still felt more off the more Kitty dwelt on it, but she kept a tight lid on those thoughts. But she was sure that the other students were good people. Maybe that was enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It was easy enough to tell Kitty was still suspicious about something, and that she'd have to keep an eye on the girl, and her thoughts. But the rest seemed like they were settling in well.

"We're done. If any of you need something or to talk about anything individually, you know where my office is." She considered that the end of it and stood up from leaning against the desk and made her way off with the usual Frost strut.
