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.

He got up early. Then as he sipped his coffee in his space in the cottage in his boxers. Then he noticed the date of the day and had flash backs to last year. That did not fill him with fond feelings even if it had led to him eventually losing his virginity the following month from one of the many lovely ladies he had met. He was more confident than he was last year.

He still choose to hide out in the basement lab. He had something to show the group. His thesis. He would be in a few weeks Doctor Griffen O'Niell. He had finally finished all his hard work. But then he decided that no one would really want to know. In that way his confidence was not that high.

He wasn't that good. He shrugged then went up stairs to have lunch. If anyone actually had any plans, he would be surprised.

Syd made sure she kept track of all the Defenders' birthdays. Even if she didn't, Sarah would have made sure to remind her that it was Griffen's birthday. Syd helped with decorating the cake that Sarah had baked. Zoey had helped pick out Griffen's gift from the two of them. This year they had gotten him a new top of the line laptop. Zoey had helped wrapped it and made Griffen a card.

Oceania had kept quiet and out of sight since she had last failed to kill the mortal woman, Harmony Watkins, and had instead only succeeded in injuring her true love, Argo. It pained her deeply that she had hurt him, but he had insisted upon defending the weak, pathetic, brief mortal creature, when all she had wanted was to bring about her quick death.

How could Argo not understand that she was the only one for him? She knew it from the moment she had laid eyes upon him in her mortal disguise of "Sheena," had known it even more after a night of passion beyond her wildest dreams.

Argo would be hers, now and until the end of time, and that was all there was to it.

She would not make the mistake, however, of attacking the mortal bitch where Argo could, in his foolish, but ultimately lovable heroic way, try to protect her. No.

Instead, she had learned Harmony's comings and goings, until she could find her alone...
