| Title: | Cooking Classes |
Rogue… or more commonly referred to as simply her birth name here, Anna-Marie is seated on the western side of the elevators in the main lobby of the highschool floor. She's dressed in a nice skirt and blouse of matching dark red color and she's got her legs crossed at tke knees while sitting at one of the table with an ipad in front of her as well as a good old fashioned notebook and pen in her hand. "Well, thats the point of the class, Reg." She tells the student sitting across from her. "Ya gotta take the class so that you can be prepared to live on your own someday… I mean, its not a 'girly class' and ya shouldn't let yer friends tell ya that anyway. Besides." She smiled at him then. "Guys who know how to cook get all the girls… So take some pride in it, its gonna server you well once you're outta this place anyway."
Ah, basic cooking 101. How to boil an egg… it was in fact a class that was most worrying some students here, but one that was indeed incredibly useful. At least they hadn't called it 'Home Economics' in an attempt to make it sound less like what it truly is: basic cooking lessons. It was going to be a class a lot of students would struggle to keep up with, whatever their otherwise outstanding academic merits. It was, in fact, one of the classes Sam was doing fairly poorly in, but at least he had yet to set the kitchen on fire. He'd been somewhat skittish and reclusive lately, even here on the Academy level, but this morning had seen him back to his fully functional self. 100 percent Grade A Sam Morgan.
As the day draws to a close, he's walking around the elevator area, in-ear headphones blaring away while he's using a holographic interface to manipulate items on a blueprint… all while walking around. And although the activity might be quintessential Sam, the music most clearly isn't.
There is an easy way to do everything. At least that was Jose thought. And indeed here was an easy way for him to get an 'A', take cooking class. He been cooking since before he was 10, and so far, he hasn't run into any problems. Take what you can get right? None the less the young mutant had just gotten out of uuug Math Class, his arch enemey. And it was a relief. He stops by Marie and Reg and says "My ma used to say the same thing. But regardless who cares if it gets girls, when you can get some real good tasting food" he says rubbing his stomech - a prolific eater as all teenagers are.
And as far as powers go, Jose has been mostly behaving. Though super hearing was super hearing even when you have special headphones on. He waves to Sam and calls out "What is with you and that song? I swear you listen to it every otherday!" Of course no one else could actualy hear what it was Sam was listening too.
The school was at about half capacity and it could be seen, students were milling about as always but it wasn't very busy and the teachers had said that it'd be busier next semester, since the school's existence sprouted up almost over night. The college level was particularly quiet still, as what students it did have… most of them took their classes online from home… But older students could be seen going up to the college level now and then and they were easy to spot as the college students weren't held the uniform clothing standards that highschoolers were.
When Jose appeared and spoke, Rogue smirked at the kid and lightly tossed a wadded up ball of paper at him. She flahsed him a grin and looked back at the young fourteen year old Reg. He seemed embarrassed that Jose had heard what he'd been talking to Anna-Marie about, but he nodded and agreed with his elder peer and then got up to excuse himself to go to his next class. Marie looked over at Samuel and offered the boy a wave when he'd look after Jose spoke at him. "What song is it?" She asked, curiously. "Some sweet Biebes?" She grinned.
When he's creating, it can be hard to get through to Sam. But when Jose calls over, his head snaps instantly to the direction of the sound while coming to a full stop. The interface around him disappears, and the look on his face is almost one of surprise… as if being caught doing something he shouldn't. But there is Jose, there is Rogue… and with Reg just leaving, Sam walks over, stopping the music and taking the ear buds out, hanging them casually around his neck. "Nah. Just… a tune reminding me of an old friend." He glances over to Jose, figuring that if someone is going to get the inference, it will be him.
"Biebes ain't a terrible singer. But his songs just don't vibe" he says to Rogue. Jose ain't no Bieber fan, but he gives credit were credit is due. Jose thinks a moment, he knew what song it was, but he opts to say to Marie "No idea. I just know he likes to play it" which is true, when it comes to thing like that, he dosn't give much importance to the names of things at times. He then looks around "This place is odd, no place to climb and get up high" he says before looking to Sam. He clearly new the reference "Well, old friends never die, new friends come from all sides." he adjust his headphones volume

Rogue smirked at both of them… she still had some lingering effects of Jean's powers afterall. She looked around the expansive lobby and up toward the high ceiling above. "It looks like the inside of one of those space ships from Star Trek." She said with a little grin. "But ya don't need to get up high… drugs are bad Jose." She said, giving the boy a mocking-stern-expression before looking back to Sam. "Whats shakin', Cap'n Crunch?" She asks him. "You look like you were deep in thought there. Enjoy your classes?" She asked then. "Some of the new teachers are pretty nice folk."
"They're all good people." Sam agrees, grateful for the change in topic and the discretion Jose is showing. Without invitation he sits down opposite Marie, a breach of etiquette technically, but he'd done the same thing dozens of times in the penthouse and he doesn't seem to mark any difference despite being forty floors lower. "Loving every class, and one day I'm gonna be able to boil an egg without burning it too. Someday soon now, I think." The holographic interface comes back up around him, and starts to show parts of what he was working on. "As for what I was doing…" the pieces float in mid air, forming what seems like a leg in a dozen layers of mechanics, actuators, solenoids, wiring and plating. Above them floats the project text… TS X-2 (SI)
Jose eyes widen "Ohhhhhhhh. Are those… pulse boots?" the excitment was clear, but then again he -always- get excited when Sam shows one of his inventions or something he is working on. But then something downs on him "Wasey?" he blinks "Wait wait wait. Rewind there. You…. burn, a BOILING egg?" he asks, stunned. He was actualy stunned at that idea "Please tell me you havn't burn the water?" and then came the humor. He looks to Rogue "Some are pretty nice. Though one did try to take my headphones. Did not much apprecaite that" he says followed by a kookaburra laugh, which made some of the lingering students look over, before moving on
Rogue laughed at the burned egg thing as well when Jose brought it up and she shook her head. She eyed the design thing that Samuel was working on and then shut her eyes when the classic Jose-laugh came out. Once it had passed, she opened her eyes and looked back toward the two of them. "That looks pretty ambitious, Sam'o." She tells him. "Whats your plans for it? I… now is is just me… think you should make a suit like that for like them animals over in Asia that get hunted for their parts. You know, the endangered ones like Tigers and Elephants. That way they could fight back against the poachers in awesome metal suits." She grinned.
"Yeah, Dinobots style, that'd be awesome." Sam grins, but nods to Jose when he asks the question. "Yeah, they're pulse boots. Finally managed to find a way to integrate the tech thanks to JARVIS, and Tony's design specs. There's so much stuff in there that's so advanced… man, when they call him a genius they're not kidding." Combine a super genius with a cyberpathic mutant, and nobody knows what might happen… Would the world survive such an unholy combination? Can Sam be trusted with the kind of technology that could alter the very course of the future? "Of course I didn't burn the water… that was all boiled away by the time the egg started burning." … Jury's still out on that one, folks.
Jose grins at the thought "Armored animals fighting back, where have I heard of that before?" he says. Everyone has their annoying factor, and Jose's is that he apparently has an annoying laugh judging by the look on Marie face! But then he is looking at Sam "… where you even paying attention to the egg? How, I mean… what?" he is flabber gasted! "Right, you know what, remind me to give you some cooking lessons, heaven help us your going to need them" of course it all said lightly. After all everyone has their talent. But back to the boots "Well now you got three geniuses. ANd probably more by next year" he says. He reaches out, mabey it one of those manipulable design specs? As such he tries to turn it, regardless he asks "Got a set to test? Cause if you need a guinne pig I'm all leg" he says
The image does rotate and move when Jose touches it, but then spins several times and the words 'This is not an interactive demo' appear before erasing themselves… just a cyberpath having a bit of fun at his friend's expense. But Sam is all smiles today. "I could use the help, man. If I'm gonna flunk something, I don't want it to be cooking. That'd just be embarrassing." How do you burn an egg, exactly? Possibly that's something not worth finding out. "But hey, a set to test? You kidding right?" He nods to the designs… "Those are high tech plans created on a custom built interface using experimental technology with multiple integration layers. It would take multiple full metal prototypers, access to highly experimental gyroscopic devices and a gigabit permanent datalink to a processing center just to upload it all." … and grins. "They'll be ready next week."
Jose blinks at the hologram and then chuckles looking at Sam. And when he hears the news he givs a hollar monkey call out of excitment! He even goes so far as to do back flips "This is going to be AWESOME!!!!!!" he voice echos out! But then he is looking at Rogue "I'mma sure Tony has a testing place somewhere in this building. But hey if we have to drive out, so be it! Eitherway the fun about to begin" he has that mischevouse look on his face
"Yeah… he probably does have a place for that." Marie replied then as she glanced down at her notepad and then at the ipad. She closed the ipad's cover and slid it onto her notepad then put her pen intoa little loop on the case. "But he was also sayin' he wants to build a paintball course in Manhattan somewhere too… Which, personally, I think that kinda thing is a bit more fun than wild and crazy rockets that can explode and do tons of crazy damage to people'n'places." She smirked at the two of them as she rose up from her chair. "Ya'll need anythin before I head up to my office?" She asked them.
"It's all academic anyway, 'cause I don't have a power source for the boots yet." Sam confides in his friends, shrugging. "It's one thing I'm not touching, and that's the ARC reactor. Not without Tony's permission." He does shake his head when asked if there is anything he needs. "Nah, thanks. I think maybe…. yeah, y'know what, maybe I'll do the cooking tonight. Jose can teach me, and I can learn while trying. How 'bout that?"
Jose gives tow thumbs up to Samuel "Except, no ice" he says with a grin. But then he hears Marie say she will be going to her office "Ahem. No, don't need anything. But, if one of the offices smells like rotten fish, I was never here" he says, and hopes to god that he didn't fish Marie office. Please don't need it be her office. He didn't even know she HAD an office.
Marie was standing there reading her notebook and all the little random notes that she'd made in-between the pictures of dogs and kittens she'd doodled on the pad as well. "You guys can use the cooking classroom here, just tell Mr. Fincher that I said it was alright so long as ya don't leave any messes behind… cause then that heat'd fall on me— Wait, what?" She asked, her attention rising up again to Jose. "Fish? Oh god…" she sighed and started to walk toward the stairs up to the college level. "If my office has been fish'd… then, I don't know…" As she walked and mumbled about the fish a couple of the male college-aged students met her at the foot of the staircase and started to chat her up as she ascended the steps, cause, well… they're guys and she's Rogue!

"Jose… you've got issues man." But Sam delivers it with a smile, and then gets up. Cookery awaits, and the chance to prove he can in fact enter a kitchen without destroying it utterly if left without adult supervision.
