"welcome to
CLARIS."

chapter one
It's a new term here at Count Leopold's Academy for Radioactively Infected Superhumans. Some of you may have gone home for the holidays, and some of you may not have been allowed to. Whatever the case, you're all here now, ready for another year of learning and practise and doing your best to gain control over your abilities.

The Headmaster — despite years having gone by, his name remains unknown — is a little on edge lately. Everyone knows about SHARD and their various testing organisations. Many of their experiments are currently being housed at CLARIS. However, rumours are spreading about a SHARD facility that's bigger than all the others. Words can be heard about a secret underground organisation, and the creation of an army of super soldiers. It's too late to recruit them to CLARIS, and that's even if they were to be found right now.

Students dismiss it all as rumours. The older ones take down SHARD labs on a weekly basis — they'd know if there was something to worry about. But The Headmaster doesn't dismiss any rumours, because one can never tell when it could come true. And CLARIS needs to be prepared for the worst, because it's always been known that every SHARD scientist has grown bitter after being forced into hiding by Count Leopold's own version of a superhuman army. Except he always referred to them as a team. And that's what CLARIS has become.

There's nothing to worry about for now. In fact, there's much for students to look forward to. Since it's the first day back, there's the usual welcome gathering in the Main Hall, after which, as usual, there will be an ice breaking session, even if the school hardly gets more than five new students each year. Field missions, dances, fairs, there are many such things in store for the students this year.

And hopefully, none of the events will be crashed by an unannounced evil.

Connor knew that he wouldn't be seeing many new faces for the start of the term. He wouldn't see many returning ones either because a lot of them hadn't been allowed to go home for the holidays so they'd just been here, at the academy.

Connor's mothers had both wanted to check up on him, see his progress, and since he wasn't allowed to go too far, he was allowed to stay with them for a while in some nearby lodging. The academy wasn't exactly in the middle of a big city. It was somewhere in Eastern Europe, among a few large hills which made it impossible to access unless you were with a CLARIS representative. And there were plenty of those in head offices all over the world. The community was pretty wide, and Connor assumed that once he learned how to control his powers more, he'd be given the opportunity to be a representative somewhere as well. He wasn't totally sure though, and in any case, his priority at the moment was to just control his emotions and figure out how to keep his mood from influencing his powers.

Over the summer he'd had some practise, even though there hadn't been any official classes, but it had been boring for the most part. He was excited for things to start back up again, and hopefully he'd have more field assignments this year, due to his steady progress in the previous year.

It was breakfast time, and Connor had walked into the dining room about half an hour after it started, since he decided to sleep in. The one thing he liked about this Academy was the fact that nobody had to share rooms. It was big enough that everyone could have a room for themselves, and they still had vacancies.

Not feeling too hungry, Connor just plucked an apple from the nearest table for himself and began to munch it as he made his way toward the main hall, like many others. That's where the welcome gathering would take place, just like it did every year, but people had yet to arrive. He wanted a front row seat to see if he could spot any familiar faces before he had to go inside. People were probably still up in their rooms too, so he'd pretty much take the first friendly face he could see.

One came along, though he wouldn't say she was a totally friendly face. Connor was well aware that Jessica got annoyed by him on occasion, but he couldn't help himself from making stupid jokes or ruffling her hair when she was around. He was proud to say that they'd at least reached a point in their relationship where he could do those things and no longer be stepped on by the heel of her combat boots.

"Welcome back," he told the shorter girl as she walked down the corridor, her CLARIS escort long forgotten. He must have just dropped her off at the gate. Connor wondered what it must have been like to go home after so long but he knew that asking wouldn't get him anywhere with her.

Jess only nodded in his direction, and while she passed by to get into the Main Hall, he ruffled her hair. The gesture was rewarded with a glare and the sticking out of a particular finger, which only made him laugh and turn back around. Connor continued to much on his apple, deciding to wait a little longer for a slightly more friendly face.

It was kind of weird to be back.

Jess, since she came under the 'level 2 or higher' rule, was allowed to go home for the summer holidays. At first she wasn't sure if she wanted to. She'd been able to maintain her sobriety while in the Academy because it was harder to gain access to anything that could threaten her state, but back home things were easier to find. She was sure she still had a stash under her bed that she kept back then for emergencies.

Eventually she realised it'd be good to see her grandmother, since she hadn't gone back home in the past three years, since she came to CLARIS. Though they remained in touch through phone calls, Jess knew she'd feel better actually going to meet her, and once she got home... well, she felt better, but also worse because it turned out her grandmother was sick. The worst part? Jess could feel her life force slowly slipping away. Her aura was dim and grey and Jess knew soon, there would be nothing.

It didn't happen while she was there, but Jess knew that whenever it did happen, Jess would feel it, and it'd feel terrible. Like something within her had been snapped in two. That's how it felt when her brother died. She knew it before they came to her house to make the announcement.

Suddenly Jess was regretting going home. Would she have remained oblivious if she had chosen to remain in the Academy? Maybe. She couldn't know for sure, but the point was that she knew now what was going on, and she wanted nothing more than to focus on something else. Her whole life revolved around death. She didn't want that to be the case right now.

Her CLARIS escort had picked her up right on time, and it was the same guy that dropped her off home when the holidays began. The trip was quiet, because the man hardly spoke, though she did convince him to play a game of cards with her on the plane. After that it was silence yet again, till Jess reached the Academy. She didn't see many familiar faces, likely because they were still arriving, but she did keep an eye out for certain people like Julietta, Lissa, Tyler.

As she reached the Main Hall, she interacted briefly with Connor. He annoyed her with the way he ruffled her hair, but deep down, he kind of reminded her of her brother, which was why Jess was never actually truly annoyed.

Not recognising anyone just as yet, Jess opted to just take a seat, far from the others that were mingling up front. She'd probably get to know people through the icebreaker. At the moment, she didn't want to speak to anyone new.

Growing up in foster care all her life vacations and holidays weren't an option so it had never really been a big deal. Staying behind hadn't been so bad as most others did the same and the members of CLARIS that she had befriended were her family anyway so she didn't mind being here.

As she wandered towards the main hall she kept an eye out for any of her friends and it wasn't long before her eyes finally landed on a familiar face. "Jess! You're back!" she called out, waving as she walked over. When Jules had first arrived at CLARIS, Jessica had been one of the first to help her with learning her way around the place. The friendship they formed eventually grew into a more sisterly bond which was something Julietta had never had before so she cherished their bond deeply.

She instinctively wrapped her arms around Jessica as she pulled her into a hug. "You have no clue how much I have missed you! Things aren't the same around here when you're gone, girl," Julietta said, a smile forming on her glossed lips. "You missed out. They had donuts in the dining hall," she added with a laugh, holding up the half eaten pastry in her hand.

She took one of the seats next to the girl and took a bit of her donut. It was, of course, cherry iced with multi-colored sprinkles, her favorite. She looked for anyone else she was friends with, waving to a couple random people who passed by.

He and his parents didn't seem to get along much these days and the only reason he'd agreed to spend the summer break with them was to see his older brother, Jason. He was a little jealous of Jason sometimes because he wasn't born with this power. It managed to skip him but Tyler was also happy that it had. The power could be a blessing but it was also a deep burden and Tyler wouldn't wish that on anyone.

After settling back into his room, he decided to head out and get to the main hall. They probably had a few new faces and Headmaster always did the usual welcome back thing. As he was walking his eyes caught Connor and he grinned.
"Hey man! You miss me?" he joked as he walked up and playfully nudged his friend. Despite the age difference somehow Tyler and Connor were best friends. Sometimes Connor was like a big brother figure to him and Tyler did look up to him in a sense but Tyler having been at the academy almost fives years now, he definetky was mature for his age....sometimes.

"I know life must've been boring without me here."
he teased with a chuckle. He looked around at the people who passed by, he hadn't noticed any new faces yet which wasn't uncommon. It wasn't like they got a bunch of new students every year but still, even just two new faces were welcome. Tyler had heard of the rumors about SHARD and their possible new lab but he wasn't sure if he should believe it or not. "So, you heard about SHARD? You think it's true?" he asked curiously.

Alistair found it a bit ironic that he had to attend a ‘welcome back’ event when he, for one, didn’t go home, and two, didn’t necessarily have anyone that he wanted to welcome back. He had a sneaking suspicion that he wouldn’t have been allowed to leave, even if he wanted to, due to the close ties he still had with SHARD, his father and brother still being pivotal members of the organization—though that could’ve just been his lingering distrust of CLARIS talking.

To be honest, Alistair didn’t know how he should feel about any of it. Less than a year had passed since he had been picked up by CLARIS during a SHARD escapade gone wrong, and now Alistair found himself continually questioning his loyalties. He had no fondness for his dad, that was true, but his brother...that was a different story. Not to mention the fact that he was practically raised to worship SHARD and everything it represented.

As Alistair walked into the gymnasium, a cold expression lined his sharp features, which was certainly nothing new. He made sure to edge along the perimeter, blue eyes scanning the growing crowd with his hands behind his back in a militaristic fashion, because some habits are harder to shake than others. He spotted a few familiar faces, Jess and Julietta being the most prominent, and, because he didn’t want to risk someone he loathed coming up to him and sparking a conversation, he made his way over to the two girls.

A barely-there smile curved on Alistair’s mouth as he approached Jess and Julietta. The chilly undercurrent of his personality was still present, but it was clear that he knew how to soften it and, in turn, make himself more welcoming and even charming to others.

“Ladies,” he nodded a hello to them, coming to stand adjacent to them both. “I don’t mean to interrupt this reunion, but I heard talk of the donuts they served at the dining hall and had to confirm that, despite low expectations, they really were great.” Alistair flashed a narrow-eyed grin.

This type of charmed behavior was usually what kept Alistair amiable with others without inviting them to ask deeper questions that he didn’t want to answer. He found that to be the case with a lot of CLARIS students—so many of them had fucked up pasts that had, in turn, fucked them up as well. Jess seemed to be that way, at least, and he found her more tolerable than many of the other members at CLARIS. She didn’t pry, which made her nice to be around. And then there was Julietta, who constantly puzzled Alistair. He knew that she had been apart of SHARD like he had, yet she was so different than what he was used to from SHARD members, even though she had left long ago. She was light and kind—happy almost. It was odd.

Although Lissa tried not to be bothered by the fact that so many others got to leave the grounds over the break, a small part of her still was. She wasn't angry or upset with anyone in particular, except herself. Holed up in her room while students were arriving and being dropped off by their escorts, Lissa tried to wipe away the tears that were falling down her cheeks. Lissa had been here for years. Longer than alot of people, and even longer than her tiny friend group.

Yet she still had very little mastery of her power.

It frustrated her to no end. It pissed her off, and it made her feel worthless. Useless. There were so many people here at C.L.A.R.I.S. with amazing, incredibly important powers. And then there was little Lissa, short in stature and in power. Sure, she could touch someone, and if she concentrated hard enough, see glimpses of their past, present, and future. But the visions alone were uncontrollable, and came with some nasty side effects.

Wiping her cheeks with the already wet sleeve of her oversized flannel shirt, she squeezed her eyes shut and drew in a shaky breath. It was almost time for the welcome back event, and there were faces she wanted to see. In a matter of minutes, she'd wiped away the streaks of eyeliner and mascara that had trailed down her face, touched up the makeup, and exited her room.

Once she reached the main area, she ran a hand through her bubble-gum pink hair and fluffed it some. Spotting Connor standing by the entrance, Lissa smiled and popped up beside him. "Connor!" Accidentally shouting louder than she meant to, she winced at her own voice, then offered him a small wave. Although Lissa was a friendly type, even here amongst people like her, she was considered a 'freak' and her friend group was not large.

"Good apple?"

Caleb hadn't gone 'home' for the break, either, though it was by choice. When you didn't really have a home to go to, what was the point? Sure, maybe getting out of the school setting would be good, but this place wasn't terrible when classes and such weren't in session. Better than the streets, that was for sure. He'd spent most of the break secluded, in the library or working on his powers himself. He'd come a long way since arriving to C.L.A.R.I.S., though he knew he still had a ways to go.

The welcome home event was probably already happening, but Caleb wasn't attending it. Not yet, anyway. Caught up in the book he was reading, he didn't want to put it down. He was in his room, and though his doors were open, the hallways were mostly quiet. There was a huge difference between when everyone was here, and when they were gone. He rather enjoyed the quiet, though that was probably obvious.

A short time passed, and finally, Caleb dog eared the page and lowered the book, lifting his head. The hallway was unnaturally quiet, it seemed, and it almost unnerved him. Setting the book aside, he stood and stretched, deciding to finally head down to the festivities. Joy.

Although not everyone was back yet, Caleb could definitely tell that the noise level had risen as he approached the main area. He smoothed over his facial expression, remembering his promise to try and be more personable this year. It was a promise he'd made to Lissa over the course of the break, and he wanted to at least try to keep it.

Speaking of, he spotted the pink haired girl speaking to Connor. He nodded at the pair before entering the room, eyes immediately seeking out someone that he knew. Jessica was the first, and so he decided to make his way over to her. "Jessica." Caleb muttered in greeting as he sat down a seat away from her, giving her space and also being able to see everyone else in the room.

"How was your break?"

It wasn't long before Connor spotted a familiar face coming toward him. Tyler was also undoubtedly someone Connor could say was his best friend as well, given the amount of time they'd had to spend with each other, and also the fact that they were so similar, despite the age difference.

"That's debatable," Connor replied with a smirk when Tyler brought up how boring it might have been at the academy without him around. In truth, it kind of had been, but Connor had always been pretty good at keeping himself busy and entertained, and that's what he did while he was here for the holidays — when he wasn't with his mothers, that is.

Nodding, Connor's expression took on a more serious tone when SHARD became the topic of their conversation. Connor hadn't been through the kind of experimentation some of the other kids went through so he would never understand what that had been like, but he knew it was horrible, and the idea that SHARD was still around didn't sit well with him.

"Honesty, it's hard to say," he admitted with a small shrug, taking another bite of his apple. "I don't want to believe it but I also don't want to be caught off guard by not preparing for the worst, y'know?" Connor was usually optimistic, but there were certain times when that was simply foolish and unrealistic. He couldn't afford to ever veer into that territory, as far as SHARD was concerned.

He had been about to change the topic to focus on lighter things, like asking how Tyler's holiday had been, when Melissa popped over, her pink hair clouding most of Connor's vision for a moment. "Hey," he offered her a warm smile. She, like him, had been stuck here during the holidays. Many others had been in the same boat, in fact. It was sad to think about but Connor knew it was for their own good, and for the safety of those around them.

"It'll do for now," he said with a small chuckle when she referenced the apple. Noticing the crowd heading inside becoming bigger, Connor stood up straight and tossed the core of his now fully eaten apple into the nearest trash can. "We should probably head inside and get seats," he suggested, knowing the headmaster would be arriving soon to make the welcome address.

Jess heard the familiar voice of one of the first friends she made in this place and she turned to locate the source. She didn't have to spend much time looking though, because Julietta was coming straight toward her, and with a hug in tow. While Jess wasn't overly fond of hugs, she made an exception when it came to a few people. Jules was clearly one of those people. The others currently weren't around at the moment, but they'd show their faces soon enough.

"Wasn't really in the mood for donuts but I've got the rest of the year to catch up," Jess told her with a small chuckle. Since leaving her grandmother, Jess hadn't had much of an appetite for anything, mainly because she was still processing everything that was happening with her grandmother, the only other person in her family who was alive today. Losing her wouldn't sit well with Jess, and she feared what it would do to her sobriety.

In any case, thinking about it now wasn't going to do her any good. All she could do was maintain her record, keep up the good work and do her best to improve her skills here at CLARIS.

While Julietta waved to a few people passing by to take their seats, Jess turned to her other side, spotting Caleb sitting down. She noted the space left between them, which caused her to arch an eyebrow, but she didn't question it because she knew he liked his space, and was probably respecting hers at the same time.

"Hey, Caleb," she greeted, offering a small smile. "It was good." The lie about her vacation came easy to her. Jess had plenty of experience when it came to lying through her teeth and masking her true emotions, so this wasn't a hard task for her. Besides, she didn't see why she needed to bother anyone else with her problems. Many of these people hadn't been allowed to go home for the holidays so she wasn't going to push it in their faces.

"How did you spend your time here?" She asked, deciding to make idle conversation to pass the time till the headmaster came up on stage. Jess pulled Jules into the conversation as well. "You too. I wonder how you survived without me," Jess added with a bit of a smirk, knowing Jules would recognise her teasing tone.

Especially in such a public setting. Her friend had just gotten back and Julietta was sure she'd open up about what was bothering her when she was ready. She hoped so at least.

When Caleb sat down on the other side, Julietta rolled her eyes. She and Caleb weren't exactly best friends, although they didn't hate one another either. They just had a love-hate relationship when it came down to it. "Hello to you too, Caleb." she said, her tone very obviously sarcastic. She was sure he had ignored her presence to get on her nerves.

"I barely did survive! I had to deal with Connor all alone." she pointed out, jokingly of course as he didn't really get on her nerves as much as he seemed to do with Jess. She looked over the crowd wondering when the headmaster would appear to welcome everyone back as well as whatever fresh new faces they managed to gather.

Julietta couldn't help but remember when she joined just two years ago and knew no-one. She was really grateful for what being at C.L.A.R.I.S had done for her after being on the run from S.H.A.R.D for years. Being alone and isolating herself from having any real friends was hard on her and every time she got semi-close to anyone, she was on the move again. She shook the thoughts as the lights dimmed. "Guess it's about to start," she pointed out.

He was right to wonder if the rumors had any truth in them. They all had to be on their toes when it came to S.H.A.R.D and they knew it. His attention was quickly pulled away from the topic when Lissa waltzed over and commented on Connor's apple. "Hey, Lissa." he said with a smile. He had known Lissa since he first arrived at C.L.A.R.I.S and he was quite fond of her. She had always struck him as the friendly and accepting type which he found endearing. She had been someone who made him feel welcomed when he got here rather than like a needle in a haystack and he appreciated that more than she knew.

When Connor suggest that they go in and find seats for the welcoming he nodded. "Let's do it, I'm sure we could find three spots together," he shrugged, motioning for his friends to follow him as he made his way inside. He walked around for a moment before spotting a few seats they could take and as a bonus they were at the same table where Jess was sitting. "Hello gorgeous. Glad to see you again," he said with a flirtatious grin on his face as he took the seat across from Jessica. "Oh, hey Jules." he added with a chuckle, not bothering to say anything to Cade. They didn't exactly get along so he didn't feel the need to address him.
