Getting lost, getting found, getting born again each day...
As a reward for being a good little mutant and submitting to Xavier's psychic help and Dad's daily work outs, Misha was allowed to mingle with the student body. No sparring, no teaching, no weapons training, but by God he could now talk to them without the fear of hurting somebody. They still couldn't tell him what would trigger an attack other than the obvious Romanov one, but since Mom wasn't around and as far as he knew Anya, James and Eliza were still in SHIELD custody, that didn't appear to be a problem.

It was a nice afternoon, so he pulled Dad's jeep out of the garage to wash it. Darlene was still in his parking spot in the city and from the messages left on his phone, not happy she wasn't getting more air time.

That would have been a heck of a greeting. Certainly not one she would have expected.

"Hi. Didn't mean to distract you if you're busy. I'm just getting the lay of the land." She tossed the ball to her left hand and extended her right. "I'm Summer. I just got here a few days ago."

Yes, definitely familiar now that she could see his face clearly. Especially when he smiled. He'd been in the papers. Although, he looked a little rough around the edges now.

	He wiped his hand on his pants before shaking hers. "Misha. I got here about twenty years ago. What brings you to the institute?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Me? Oh. Well, it turns out that I am not actually a circus freak as I was led to believe." She shrugged and tossed the green ball into the air. While it was in the air it appeared to split into three separate, green balls. She caught them one at a time and juggled easily. "Go figure."

"So, twenty years, huh? Wow. Keep getting held back a year?" She grinned, just kidding.

	"I'm not that bright," he said, still with the smile. He nodded at her demonstration, impressed. "If you're not looking for circus freaks, you're in good company here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I just left the circus freaks, actually. I was hoping for something a little less strenuous, here." She caught the real ball in her hand and let the others fall. They disappeared before they hit the ground. "You may not be aware, but midgets dressed as clowns are really actually very high-strung people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Summer's eye widened in mock fear. "They sent an elf? How did they find me already?" "Actually, the magic act wasn't so bad. I even got to stick my head in the tiger's mouth once. That was entertaining." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-10-04 06:42 am UTC (link)
	He laughed at that. "So you're a illusionist?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I was." She extended her hand again and flicked out two fingers. A glossy piece of paper with the name Morgaine on it and a picture of her in her stage costume appeared. "Did my last show about four days ago."

"I suppose I still am. I just need to learn to control the real ones a little better. Also the whole mind reading thing which, by the way, is nothing but trouble."

	"You're a telepath?" He involuntarily shifted back from the new student. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Uh. A little." She couldn't help her face falling. It was definitely time to go back to not mentioning that particular bit to anyone. It hadn't exactly done wonders for Kristoff's first impression of her, either.

"Anyway. Nice meeting you, Misha." She shoved the paper in her pocket and waved with the hand holding her ball. Her media smile reappeared as she turned to head back to the house. "Nice jeep, by the way."

	Cue guilt. He hadn't meant to make her feel bad. "I'm sorry, I'm a little twitchy these days. Been going through some therapy with one of the resident telepaths." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Any hint of embarrassment was long gone by the time she turned back to face him. Hey, she'd had magic show volunteers grab her breasts in front of packed club audiences and never let them see her rattled. She was a professional.

"No sweat." She gave him an easy smile and a shrug. "I'm not nearly powerful enough to do anything useful with it. I used it for card tricks and phony seances."

	He wasn't grabbing anything on anybody, so no worry there. "Join the Not Very Powerful club. We meet every Thursday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rabbitfromahat 2009-10-04 07:45 am UTC (link)
	Summer kept a few good feet of space between them and was careful to not quite meet his eyes. She wasn't sure what it was that made the mind reading work well when it did, but better safe than sorry. "I suppose Thursdays are do-able. It will cut into my manicure/pedicure time, but I suppose we all must make sacrifices." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-10-04 07:53 am UTC (link)
	She didn't want to read his mind. His mind gave him nightmares. "It's a sacrifice, all right. We have to wait for the Very Powerful Club to finish with the rec room." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd say I'd bring something to read in the meantime, but they never taught me to read in the rabbits out of a hat school." She glanced up briefly and said as seriously as she possibly could. "I'll just bring the polish and we'll give each other pedicures." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Never. That would require reading and I do not hold to that, sir." She smirked and let her gaze fall to the driveway. She idly bounced the ball off the pavement and caught it. "So what do you do? Now that we've discussed all my embarrassing points..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He returned to drying the Jeep. "I have the gift of being hard to kill." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That must be really rough to practice," she noted as she caught the ball again. Her super amazing deductive reasoning skills told her that she may have stumbled onto a conversation he didn't want to have. Man. Relating to someone she wasn't trying to schmooze for a good newspaper review was harder than she thought. "Is that your jeep?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-10-04 08:29 am UTC (link)
	"Actually, it's my dad's. My car is still at my place in the city. I'm not allowed off grounds just yet." He glanced at her over the hood. "And yes, practice is a bitch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rabbitfromahat 2009-10-04 08:34 am UTC (link)
	"I get the very distinct impression you'd like me to stop asking questions or go away." She shoved the ball into the pocket of her shorts. It made one hip bulge out weirdly, but really... there were stranger looking people at the school. "Can I help if I promise to be quiet?" She pointed to another towel hanging off one of the jeep's side mirrors. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Help yourself." He turned his attention back to the task at hand. "I don't mind questions. It's the answers that can get sticky. I'm hard to kill and I can fight. That's it. I don't do anything interesting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As Moira was not home and Danielle had no emergency requiring someone she could talk to, she was padding around the grounds. As she turned back towards the garage, she saw Misha and someone she hadn't met, and her general body-language was of a mildly curious greeting, tail wagging a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
