Word may not have travelled as far as California, that is a possibility, or maybe he was just too sheltered, but knowledge of a gang of people in which a single member had the power to crush an entire city without so much as a second glance was sure to spread far and wide, but that didn't bother Leon really. It was better to seem the weak one for now. He'd listen once again as the other three seemed to have a small battle of langual capabilities. Leon would lazily lean forward and push himself up from the chair he picked with a grunt, a calm, soft smile on his face as he walked over to the boy.
"It was a good anime convention though."
He would say as he raised his hand to pat the boy ontop of the head, using such a minimul charge of electricity to make the boys hair stand up. It would be enough to give him a nice little shock just so he understood it wasn't a accident that he got shocked. After that he would simply go back to his seat and slowly sit down again, lean back and close his eyes. The light almost unnotic ably above him would slowly cycle between soft and slightly bright as he leeched its energy.

Hmn. What a hypocrite, the kid blabbers on about being judgmental, yet he judged her the moment she walked in the door. "Sorry, you just seem like the type more accustomed to being serenaded into a peaceful sleep by violins and classy music". The girl rolled her eyes and sighed, wondering when he would stop beating his chest already. Her cream-coloured eyes slowly flickered to him and she groaned. "Hmn, how I dress is no concern to you. I don't have tailors that custom make it for me, I make them myself," the girl shifted her position again. She hated sitting on linoleum, made her ass fall asleep. "And, while we're at that, get over yourself. No one gives two shits about your 'daddy dearests' money, or the company. If he really did, he'd hold you hostage. Instead he took your spoiled little ass to the hospital so we could hear you whine and bitch. Get your head out of your ass." After her little... 'explanation', the girl fell silent again and bit her thumb nail in her voice's absence. ..... Books, hmn. "Jeez, you need to tell me when you speak. I thought you were still flailing around the room, flinging your poo at innocent passersby" the girl replied, half-yawning in the middle of it. She decided to keep quiet and watch the other two's reactions now. However, she found Leon's to be by far the most amusing. The red-head watched him pat him on the head, and suddenly she saw a shot of electricity spark from his hands. The teen blinked in surprise, "Well, Lightning Dragon... makes sense" she thought to herself. However, her next reaction was what really surprised her. .... ._. Helter let out an amused chuckle when Buxaplenty's new and improved due popped out of his skull. His golden locks all pointing skyward, making his hair look like a big, blonde sea urchin. The chuckle grew in volume for a moment until Helter covered her mouth. In between laughs, the girl managed to say something, "That look suits you. Now-- AHA-- All we need is a paper bag to put over your-- BAHAHAH-- Face, and you'll be beating off the ladies with a stick".

Mathew spoke first, ignoring the comments thrown his way about the 'dragons' and moving straight into calling Adrian a 'peasant'. Adrian merely shook his head, taking another sip of his hot cocoa of, apparently, manliness, and looking up at Mathew afterward. Mathew, it seemed, wasn't going to wait to let him get a word in edgewise, however, and continued with his explanation, thankfully seeming to be about to tell him exactly what was going on with his situation. Of course, not without a little bit more of him talking down to Adrian first, something the boy was getting more than a little tired of. However, instead of spitting back an insult, Adrian would simply reply.
"I disagree. Greatness comes by defying logic, making logic bend to you and not the other way around. When you can look at the impossible, and do it anyway... that's true success."
If one could say anything about Adrian, he wasn't dumb, he had his own business model and knew how to get to the things he wanted in life. This? This was merely a setback. Mathew would continue, talking about Pride and Power and finally stating that he intended to uphold his end of the wager. When Mathew paused, Adrian thought over what was now owed to Amtrum.
The game was, I have to do what he says. For an unspecified amount of time. Hnnh.
Unfortunately for Adrian, and fortunately for Mathew, Adrian was also a man of his word. He just wasn't going to go quietly about it.
"If you think I won't 'pay up' what I owe you, Amtrum, you're dead wrong. However," he said suddenly, holding his right index finger in the air to signal 'wait', "if you think I'm just going to follow you around kissing your ass, you're even more wrong."
He left his answer at that for now. Mathew was a smart one, he'd understand what Adrian was trying to say, and would get his personal slave/whatever for the time being. Adrian was hardly a slouch either, though, and would be looking for ways out.
Then Leon stood, going back to the Dragons bit, mentioning a convention, which caused a bit of a snort from the bedridden Adrian, except the snort was cut into a kind of surprised *snnrrt?!* as Leon let loose a small charge of electricity, sending a quick surge through his brain and causing the youngest one there to spasm a tiny bit, and, worse yet, causing all his hair to stand on end.
Meanwhile, Helter Skelter had been spouting her mouth off and trying to act tough, at least in Adrian's eyes, and now she was laughing. His eyes rolled upwards to try and see what had happened to his hair. Catching his reflection in a nearby mirror, his eyes widened in shock (no pun intended.)
...Lightning Dragon...? No... no way.
Suddenly all arrogance was dropped, at least for the moment, much to the chagrin of Adrian's Ego, which longed to blast back at Helter one more time. As Leon sat back down in his chair, Adrian's head turned to him.
"Okay, so, maybe there's more to this Dragon thing than meets the ear. How the HELL did you do that?!"
Adrian began to try and fix his now-unkempt hair, but with one hand and a rather excessive amount of static electricity running through it, the process was futile at best.

"I could care less if you kiss my ass or not as long as you do what we said. The deal was you do what I say, not that we become best friends forever."
Mathew would say with a roll of his eyes. It was like he thought Mathew expected him to be licking his boots. Well maybe Mathew would have him lick his boots just for shits and giggles. It was a tempting thought, that much was sure, but Mathew really had better things to do with his newest henchmen. And he wasn't nearly pretty enough for Mathew to have an interest in him for more personal satisfaction.
He would watch as Leon demonstrated just why he was the Lightning Dragon, a smirk would cross across his face when he saw Richie Rich's new hair cut. He couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at the site of it. However he would clear his throat when the kid asked how Leon was able to do that. Apparently he didn't know what Qi was.
"It's called Qi. Everyone has the potential to unlock their Qi. Leon isn't the Lightning Dragon for nothing. Just like I am not the Earth Dragon for nothing. Though my Qi isn't of the Earth Element."
He would say with a small grin. He wondered if the kid would catch why he was the Earth Dragon, probably, he was a smart kid. Even if he was a giant tool. But, he didn't have to be likable just useful.
"If you want an example of my Qi I suppose I could show you since we are all.... friends here right?" He would say with a wicked grin, his eyes flashing dangerously as he looked at Adrian and at Helter. Helter may be willing but he still didn't trust her yet. Leon he had known for years, they were Dragons. He would trust his life with Leon, these two needed to earn it.
"Leon Why don't you use your Qi on me. Lets show Adrian here just what my Qi does."

Leon opened his eyes and stopped playing with the light when Adrian was... dumbafied? By his electricity... Well, someone who had never been through a truely traumatic experience wouldn't understand the mystical part of fighting. Like Leon and the other Dragons fighting in New York was a fight to keep breathing everyday, more so for the Lightning Dragon than for the others, having been the weakest of them for so long. But that was besides the point. Someone trained by people who where supposed experts in their martial arts would know nothing of the fighting styles needed to simply earn the right to live for another day. Leon himself awoke his Qi in a battle against 200 bikers in New York. He faught them alone.
Then Mathew explained its name, and that every living thing had the potential to open their minds to this ability. Then made the offer to show them, and Leon would be the assisstant shower. Right now, Leon was within the guys Qi range, he culd sense it, feel it in his person, the Aura shrouded his abilities even now. He had to transfer the electricity from the lights into his palm to hit Adrian with to even get a descent charge.
Leon would walk to the opposite side of the room next to the window, where he would face Mathew.
"Alright then, lets see what kind of juice I can throw at ya."
Leon said, his collar was also holding him down now, so his Qi would not be as powerful as it regularly was, but it would serve its purpose. His right arm would raise infront of him, creating a claw as his muscles bulged, hidden behind the training weights, biceps and chest visible and obviousely flexed, showing he wasn't the feeble person he was putting himself off to be. The lights above and in the building shifting on and off as an explosion of electricity erupted from his arm, taking a hard right step forward he'd throw his right arm back and then forward as if using a clawed palm strike blasting a harsh torrent of electricity into the shroud of Aura protecting Mathew.
The blade of electricity would cut into the linolium floor as if it where nothing, slicing through the air at breakneck speeds, but once it hit the invisible berrier that always protected Mathew, it would immediatly dwindle and descipate before reaching him. The power would of obviousely been enough to knock Mathew a good one, but ended up completely harmless. The lights would stop flickering and everything would go back to normal. Besides the new gash in the floor which was wide for a while, then became smaller and smaller till nothing leading to Mathew.
Then....
BAM!
Right in the back of the head the nurse would hit Leon, he would bend his knees kneeling forward rubbing his head with both hands saying: "Ow that freakin hurt."
Then the nurse would begin speaking her chastising.
"Not in a hospital are you freaking crazy? You could of knocked out the electricity and the back-up generator, then what would we do?"
Leon would turn aroudn and stand up as if nothing happened extremely fast like a blur and begin bowing.
"I'm sorry, I could of fixed it."
And Leon continued apologizing to the nurse as she scolded the Lightning Dragon, Leon going back to the illusion of weakness and feebleness.

((OOC: Sorry it's small, I lack inspiration. I'm gonna eat my free Pizza now. >_> -noms- =D))
Helter almost fell backwards from laughing so much, what a riot! She could tell already, this guy was going to give her a lot of laughs. He had to be good for SOMETHING, except a loud mouth. The teen straightened up, a hearty chuckle escaping her lips. That was... one insane doo, she had to admit. She cocked an eyebrow and the absurb question, what was Qi? There was very few people who were unaware of Qi in this school, anyone who didn't was lucky to be here still. Helter took a skooch back away from Leon and Mathew when he started getting mischievous, this didn't look good. The red-head watched the two eagerly, awaiting something to happen next. The teen's eyes widened a bit when the attack simply deteriorated before her.
"Cool shit!" the girl chirped, placing her thin hands onto her knees. Not a single scratch on him. She had heard some rumours about his Qi, but never saw it in action. In all admittance, it just made her day to see that. Of course, like Leon and Mathew, the red-head also had a Qi. An ability that existed for her since birth, and it would prove to be more profound than most Qi. But, it wasn't something she'd display just yet.
Oh no.
That was something for later. Adrian would find that her clothing was far more 'absurd' than he had first thought.

Adrian listened to Mathew, nodding at his first comment, and then leaning forward, resting his chin on his good, or rather, better than his left, right hand as the older man explained the usage of Qi. It wasn't MUCH of an explanation, really, all he said was that 'everyone can do it', but, to Adrian, it was quite a feat. After all, it would seem, much to his dismay, that one of his worst fears had finally been realized.
"Oh god..." he said, actually half-serious, "the lower- to middle-class have all developed superpowers."
He chuckled, trying to make a joke out of it, but still a little awestruck at the abilities these people seemed to be in possession of. Suddenly, the Dragon bit all made just a LITTLE bit more sense in Adrian's mind. Leon was the Lightning Dragon, because he played with electricity in his fingers, apparently. Mathew was the Earth Dragon, not necessarily because he moved the ground with a mere thought, Adrian supposed, but because, more often than not, he was damn-near invincible when he wanted to be, as Adrian recalled from the punch-fest he had at him before they fought for real. Adrian still had yet to fully figure out what had caused him to somehow become a bit more susceptible to attacks during the fight, however.
As they both, more or less, demonstrated their abilities in front of him, Adrian's eyes widened in amazement. Truly, he'd never seen anything like this. Of course, he'd never had to. He wondered vaguely if he, himself, could do stuff like that, but quickly passed the notion away. It was all a bunch of silly, hokey Chinese martial arts crap. Nothing a good, well-practiced set of fists couldn't stand up to.
"All...right..." Adrian said slowly, leaning back and again trying without much success to fix his hair. "So you," he said, pointing at Leon, "Can shoot lightning out of your ass, and YOU," he pointed at Mathew, "can... absorb it? What about you?" He turned and looked at Helter Skelter. "Lemme guess... you're a redhead, with a smart mouth... you spit fire, right?" Adrian smirked. It was hardly what one would call an insult, just a sarcastic comment with only a bit of sincerity behind it.
"Either way..." Adrian continued, finally able to smooth down his hair. It still looked like crap, but at least it no longer stuck up like a porcupine. "Why, Leon, do you act like you're a hundred years old, then? If you've got power like that running through you... why pretend to be a feeble old man? What's stopping you, the both of you, from just running this school?"
"Alright, guys, wrap it up quick," the nurse would butt in suddenly, finally finished smacking the crap out of Leon. "Looks like the ambulance is pulling up to take the kid to the hospital." Without much further care in the matter, she went back to doing some paperwork, mumbling something about 'getting them out of her hair.'
((Alllrighty, everyone can go ahead and answer a question, make a comment, do whatever, and after the last person has posted, I'll assume this thread to be closed.))

The kid hit the nail on the head, well maybe not. Be he grazed it. Why didn't Mathew and Leon run the school? It was because Mathew had just transfered. But that was a part of the plan. The thing is Mathew wasn't content to just run a school. He was a senior, his time here was almost over with. HE wanted to run the city, no the country, if not the world. He would start here, it was as good a place as any, but Mathew's ambitions were much grander then a mere school. Mathew would stand up and close the short distance to the bed where he would then pat the side of Adrian's cheek with his hand, a mocking grin on his face.
"Awww sweety, this is about much more then the school. We can explain it a bit more when your wittle head is better."
He would say, his tone dripping with sarcasm. But he wasn't lying, when the kid was better Mathew would be putting him in to his plans. There was little he could do now, even less if he was getting kicked out. He could fight the nurse to stay of course, but that would just be pointless. After his little mockery was over Mathew would slowly make his way to the nurse, not quite limping, but his leg was still very sore.
"Actually I had hoped to go to the hospital with him. I did put him in this condition, it's only right. Ya know?" He would ask hoping that she would just agree to let him go, otherwise he would have to follow them on his own with his own car. Either way he would be there.

Bastille had only been there a few moments. Just long enough to walk by without being noticed and peeking her eye in the slightly cracked door. Her crimson eyes scanned the room of people with nothing more then a bored look at first. She couldn’t linger here….the nurse had a personal vendetta against Bastille for ruining the office a few months back with her sword. Bastille was being extra careful with her aura and movements so no one, not even the overly attuned nurse would know her presence. Her crimson eyes continued to stare at the group.
"hmph"
As she heard them talk the words seemed to register quickly in her head. She didn’t care to hear more or stay much longer. She just wanted a moments observations, and it seemed her previous guesses where turning out in her favor….she was right. She let her eyes narrow darkly as a sadistic smirk crossed her lips. She then smirked letting her more darkly devious side take a over her emotions. She walked down the hall no longer paused at the door. She had what she needed…she would meet up with Mathew later. She had classes to attend.

Leon raised an eye brow to the boy, strategy of course. Even though it went against his warriors code it was also because he was bound by the collar to act seriouse. His anger just didn't seem to be there anymore. Leon would think on this, as it kinda puzzled him why someone would question this tactic.
~A real warrior has the entirety of his power at the ready.~
Then Leon smiled. If they where not as mystically intune as Leon was, then they would under estimate him.
"Why should I show my true strength? If they can't see past this show of weakness then there is no reason for me to fight them."
Then Leon would head for the door, it wasn't his place to go to the hospital again, it bothered him to be in that place anymore. So he would turn to Mathew before exiting so he could tell him that he wouldn't be there.
"I have things to do for now, I'm sure Helter can post guard."

Some time had passed, and the EMTs were at the door. Adrian looked up to them, his general disdain for those beneath his station returning as he sneered at the two uniformed men.
"Is this the kid?" one asked, gesturing towards Adrian.
"He sure has an entourage with 'em, doesn't he?" said the other with a smirk.
"And you both certainly failed medschool to get a job like this, didn't you?" Adrian cut in, glowering at the two men.
"Yeah, whatever kid," the first man replied. "Why don't you make it out of this place alive first, then you can tell me about college." He snorted at the youngster, moving forward with the gurney, until Adrian put up his good hand, hot chocolate in hand, to stop him.
"No. Don't need it. My hands are busted, but my legs work just fine, thank you."
Adrian turned on his butt so that his legs were hanging off the bed, and kicked himself onto the floor. He wobbled a bit at first, as he had been laying down for quite some time, but quickly found his balance. He looked at Helter and Mathew, as Leon had left only moments before, and then back to the cup of hot chocolate in his hand. He had only taken a few sips, and not because it was bad. No, it was delicious, but between the talking and the magic show, Adrian hadn't had much time to drink it. It was still fairly warm, and thus, Adrian shrugged, and held it out to Helter.
"They won't let me have this on the ambulance, I'm sure. Want it? I didn't do anything to it, and I don't backwash."
Adrian peeled the lid from the cup, so that she didn't have to share mouth-spots with the boy, and held it out to her. It was a rare occurrence, to see Adrian being completely friendly and open. This time, there really was no ulterior motive. He simply had no more use for it, and she didn't get one to begin with.
