Caitlyn was sitting on the shore of the lake and playing with the water. She spent more time down here than she spent in her room and she liked it that way. One could never practice with powers too much. Today she had a dozen small spheres of water orbiting around her as she sat and thought about how she was going to tell her parents she didn't want to go home to Nova Roma for the summer.

She loved her home, she just found New York to be more exciting. Professor Xavier said she could stay here for the summer and be an X-Woman now that she was graduating. There was also the option of college. She had been accepted to two smaller schools in the area and one in the city. She just had to decide on one and what she wanted to do.

Cait hated making decisions. She was a more of a "go with the flow" kind of girl.

She concentrated and increased the speed of the spheres as they orbited around her.

cosmic_son:

He's been shopping, so he actually has clothes to put in his closet at home. He now has a closet too, albeit temporarily, though he's hoping he'll be able to get a room at Avengers mansion before Aunt Sersi shows up again. He has a hunch that might be awkward, though he's sure he's going to meet her again sooner or later. While he's not a member yet, and doesn't have a room, they have told him people will be about eventually, and told him to make himself comfortable - within reason.

He's stolen a few more of those cookies - this Earth food thing is good, when its not Anya cooking. He had even tried the creme brulee. He's pretty sure he shouldn't have to apply greater-than-human strength in order to bite into something intended as food. He was also pretty sure that sharing some of his father's enhanced senses was temporarily a very, very bad thing.

Other than that though, its been pretty comfortable. He's found the lounge and found the TV remote, and managed to ditch the shirt somewhere along the way - on that, he had to agree with his cousin and Aunt Sersi, humans were weird. Right now, he's just looking through the options humans have for mass entertainment. Seems as good a way as any to learn the culture.

ohu_amane:

Ohu Amane means "Sees Danger" in Twi, the modern language of the Ashanti, and the name is quite appropriate. The eldest son of Anansi, Ohu was gifted with the ability to see danger. He used this power to help save his father from a giant river monster (with a little help from his siblings, he supposes). He knows when there's serious trouble.

But he's never had a chance to really explore the realms of mortals before. He's always been kept at home, in the realm of the Ashanti gods. Which was boring. His father being the keeper of all stories, Ohu has heard all the stories from the mortal realms, and he finds them fascinating. Of course, these days, there are more stories coming into his father's realm than ever before -- a person can't keep up! So Ohu finally convinced his father to let him come to the mortal realm*, accompanied by other gods, the children of Asgardians.

This should be a most exciting expedition! They've already shown up in Oklahoma, surrounded by wheat. If they can just find a cornfield, he's sure there will be evil there. There's always evil in cornfields in the stories.

But the field gives way to a road, and Ohu, the guide for his friend Asgardians, choses a way and begins walking it. They are heading for New York, and certainly all roads must lead to New York eventually.

The occasional car or truck passing by, Ohu leads them down the road, over two bridges, and into the city apparently named "Kingfisher." Around them, the populace gives the gods strange looks.

"You see, my friends? I have lead us to a place where we may acquire transportation to the glorious city of New York!"

*If, by "convinced his father," one means, "ran away without telling him."
