Sivana meets Marvel
Well Max had to be honest, his reception for when he returned to Berkeley wasn't quite as bad as he thought it would be.Tyler's help in getting the power back online had smoothed over most of the ill feelings he would have received. Still, the Dean had seen fit to make him the new campus tour guide to take advantage of Max's new "celebrity" status. Considering Max wasn't very social to begin with, it felt more like a punishment than an honor. Still, no use complaining about it Max was currently waiting for his scheduled tourists. He was early so he didn't expect them to be around just yet.

"Oh wow..."

Will was looking at the campus with a degree of awe. Sure, he had seen quite a bit as Marvel, but there was something about the nature of it. This whole area, as far as he could see, was the college. So much green and so much in the way of buildings that showed authority yet not overbearing. They definitely didn't have anything like this in Fawcett City.

"Wow, Avia. you were right. This is amazing."

	"Can't beat the West Coast for schools," Avia agreed. "Especially Berkeley. Really swinging place." She was a little more hippie'd up today, with her skirt and sandals, and a flower in her hair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Max sees the guy and his..hot girlfriend arrive so he puts on his gameface. Basically a fake smile and attempting to sound cheery. "Hello, you guys here for the tour?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh hey! cool! The guy's already here! "Y-yeah, we are. Well, I-I am. I know I'm early. I-Is that okay?" Awkward, meet awkward. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Will is," Avia agreed. "I'm just here for moral support and to scout locations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh..yeah man, that's fine." Max takes a moment to NOT stare at the hot chick. "I don't think anyone else is supposed to come to this one so..if you wanna start now, that'd be cool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cool. I'll be up for the tour now." Will, being Will, is oblivious to Max not staring at his girlfriend. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avia doesn't miss it. She's an attractive woman who regularly is in a skin-tight uniform, not to mention simply well versed in the ways of attraction. She slips her hand into Will's. "Sounds groovy to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well..okay then." Max claps his hands together once in an attempt to look eager. 'Ok Sivana, just do what the dean said to do and you'll be fine. And do embarass yourself by staring at another guy's woman. Remember the last time that happened?' Max suppressed a shudder. He did NOT want to remember that day ever again. "If you guys will follow me. Sooo..what's your area of interest...? Max let's the question draw put, indicating he'd like to know the name of the prospective student.

	"W-well, I was thinking of something related to history. Always kinda had an interest," Will said, leaving out the 'I'm curious because I'm powered by several beings and one historical figure of historical note, and my parents and uncle were powered by them, too'. "Maybe teaching history. I dunno 100% yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	semievilgenius 2011-06-19 01:38 am UTC (link)
	Max resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the mushy stuff. It wasn't because he was jealous..far from it...really. "History, huh? You'd probably be in a class taught by Dr. Rougeau or Dr. Newman. Word of advice, I'd go with Rougeau. Newman has a voice that could put even the most enthusiastic history student into dreamland." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	geekgreek 2011-06-19 01:46 am UTC (link)
	Will snickers a bit at that one, squeezing Avias hand a bit at her show of support. "Well, I appreciate that. I'll be sure to avoid Newman then. So, umm," Will stops for a second, thinking of what he could say before continuing. "What can you tell me about the...ummm...the archaeology department, too, if you have one."

	"Ummmm, yeah, we do. Dr. Renard would be the one to talk to about that. I really don't know who else works in that department though. What kind of old stuff are you interested in?" Max had to admit, he was getting interested. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	'Greek and Roman? Didn't Captain Marvel get his powers from the ancient gods of those peoples? eh, probably a coincidence'. "They're interesting civilizations, I can see why you'd want to know more." Max looked over to Avia. "Show?" She does look a little familiar. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh yeah! They are. I remember, back in freshman year, doing a report on the Macedonians. Learned about the Makhai, which are a weird bunch. It was interesting." Will blinks and smiles at Avia at the mention of Rome. "Oh, you have a show in Rome? Cool!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avia offered up a small grin. "Avia Free, also known as Ms. Miracle, world's second greatest escape artist, about to launch a European tour." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I can imagine," Max had never actually heard of the Makhai, so he was just being polite. The next was directed to Avia. "I knew I 've seen you before. I saw one of you escapes on Youtube. Impressive stuff."

"Sivana!"

Max visibly blanched. It was Dr. Fredericks, head of the Tech Department, and he did not sound happy. "Yes Dr..."

"Now look here, Sivana! The dean may have let off easy, but I expect you to pay for all the supplies in the sciecne lab you 'borrowed'. If anything like this happens again I'll see to it your expelled! Do we understand each other, Maximillian?"

Max fights the urge to make a fist. "With respect sir, I took those materials to stop those robots."

"I don't want to hear it, Sivana. That's a job for the capes or the police, not the progeny of a mad scientist. Are we clear?"

'Thanks, right here in front of everybody. Classy.' He doesn't say that out loud know. He takes in a deep breath answers. "Transparently, sir."

"Good," The professor gives a smile to the prospective students before leaving.

For a moment Max just stands there and seethes.

Sivana? The guy that'd been helping him was a Sivana? Will followed the conversation back and forth, dread starting to well up a bit before the mention of the robots.

He was fighting robots? Did he just take them down? Did he build them? Will thought, giving Avia a look that said "Don't say anything yet."

"Sivana? Wasn't that the name of the guy from Fawcett City?" Will said. It was supposed to sound like a simple question. Here's hoping Max doesn't take it as him probing.

Max took a deep breath. It sounded like an innocent enough question, no reason to take out his frustrations on the guy.

"Yeah..THAT Sivana. He was my grandfather. Among the things he left me was a name recognition I never wanted..sorry. I suppose you'll wanna leave now that you know this place has a supervillain's grandkid attending?" Max figured he might as well be honest.

	Now THAT surprised him. He wasn't used to the "quick acceptance" reaction. "Oh..well..thanks." Max scratched the back of his head, temporarily at a loss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
