"Bring in, uh, Jess?"
The wooden door pushed open with a long arm in a rubber glove. But another man walked through in a orange jumpsuit. A gas mas with twin ports covered his lower face and wrapped around to the back of his bald head. His gray eyes locked with the three people in suits that sat behind a thick plastic wall size shield.
"G-E-U-S, Ge-us. It's pronounced Ge-us." The boy named Geus sat down on the lone steel chair in the room.
"That's quite the interesting name, how'd your parents give it to you?"
The man that sat to the left of the center cleared his throat. "Mr. West. Please read the full entry before any more questions."
He raised an eyebrow. He opened the folder in front of him. His eyes skimmed down through the papers and opened wide at the end. He looked up past the folder.
"I'm very sorry for the rude comment. My dearest apologies and will do everything to not to force anything." Mr. West folded the papers and cleared his throat.
"I got my name because I came from a family that hated the quirks of the generation. They always believed that crime was larger but better because everyone was at a equal and easier to control. Crime went down but more explosive because of these quirks. So they were proud that none of my bloodline had any quirks. Until me. My aunt had given the line of my name, 'Ge, I'm sorry.' My mom simply said, 'Ge us. Geus, so he never forgets.' That's where my name comes from."
"UA has recently contacted the board for an invitation to their school. Either under recommendation or under their own test."
"But they already did their tests. The news were already through the center. Brought me here for a reminder for what I could've been?"
"No." The man on the right entered. "Through your one year here it was easy to realize what you did has not affected your character negatively. Many on the board begs to differ but some think that it's a perfect assessment of how you are. If you can follow our conditions, then we can place you through the school."
His eyes filled with tears. "I never wanted to do what I did."
"The teachers and everyone on the administrative team knows of our conditions and has agreed to hold this away from students. Of course, your history and presence is public information so you may release any you want. Your fights with other students will be limited in case of your quirk gets out of hand. So another student is going to be at your side at nearly all times. Nobody must know about their true intentions, if they do then you'll be expelled and placed back here. Your costume has been already selected to ensure complete control and any modification will get you expelled. Any representative that shows up and asks questions require complete clarity. If we suspect anything then you will be pulled. You will be given a collection of air filters built with a GPS. One must be on at all times to watch your location. Unless the school takes you out of your allowed proximity you will be expelled. Every communication you have will be recorded, every purchase tracked."
"There are many more in a booklet you must read over." Mr. West interjected. "The point is, everything you do will be tracked and observed. If you agree to every stipulation then your allowed to go to the school. For your safety I want to give you one piece of advise. Do not get involved with any other student. The less connections you have, the better it is for everyone. See this to control your quirk and not as anything else."
"Am I excused?" Geus asked.
"Yes. Of course, you have until the day before the first day of school to make a decision."
Geus got up from his chair and walked back through the open door. The man in a full suit of rubber pushed Geus ahead. Another man in a rubber suit waited at the end of the hall. He clicked the button for the elevator doors to open. Geus went in the elevator alone. The doors in front of him closed and down the elevator went. The elevator opened back up. He stepped into a room surrounded by rubber, the walls, the floor, everything was surrounded in a layer of it.
Geus raised his muscle where his eyebrow would be. His private room was changed. Instead of his bed in the corner and his day's study materials and a desk in the center. Now a small desk with two chairs replaced it. The chairs and desk were bolted to the ground. Geus walked to the desk, the only thing on it was the only thing not in rubber. The papers the men before mentioned wasn't very thick. An easy read for Geus and assess whether or not it would be to go to the school.
The doors from the elevator opened back up. He didn't bother to look back, from the time it should be the vitamin bottle for lunch. He held his arm back out to accept it.
"Uh what are you doing?" The unfiltered voice caught Geus off guard.
Her turned around to surprise him even more. Last thing he expected to see was a cute girl in his room. Long blonde hair that dropped down to her waist, dimonized blue eyes, it was obvious to him she was a girl with a quirk.
"I thought you were the guy that brings me my food and air filters."
"Oh!" Her finger hit her mouth. She reached down into her bag and pulled out a small box. "That's what this was then!"
Geus grabbed the box and placed it on the desk. "So what are you and why were you allowed to see me... without a suit?"
"That's easy, I can neutralize you quirk. See I can freeze my body to negative temperatures and pass it on to others. It's already tested that my quirk stops your quirk."
"I think that's the first time since I've been in here to see clothes that isn't rubber, suits, or jumpers." She showed confidence against him. She wore a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her forearms. A black skirt that opened up her calves and high heels with elegant wrap around straps that reached her skirt. She wasn't afraid to show her skin to him.
She blushed. "Oh I just really wanted to show you my trust in you. I read that barely anybody shows them to you so I thought it would be best to reveal myself to you."
Geus's eyes popped open for another reason. "That's not necessary. What your doing is fine now." Geus sucked in his breath and untwisted the filters on his mask. He ripped open the box and quickly twisted on the new filters.
"Uh, what was that?"
"When I take off my air filters all my gas can escape out. If I hold my breath then less gas escapes. Gas constantly escapes from my body no matter what. The filters filter out the gas and has regular oxygen come out."
"So that's why your mouth and nose are constantly covered in a mask. Thought it was an intimidation tactic. Nice to see it's for the survival of others."
"So you would be my partner if I joined the school."
She laughed nervously. "Who's interviewing who? Yeah I'm your possible partner. Think of me im a sidekick of a sidekick."
Geus turned to the table and flipped the booklet to the last page. He grabbed the pen next to it and signed on the bottom of the page. This was the first time she looked shocked.
"I'm surprised. Never thought I see you do that so fast."
"There's a reason why I signed it and they left it uncovered in rubber. Tell me why you want to do this."
"I read your file over and over again. I believe you aren't guilty for what you did. But you must not hide behind it. My goal is to bring those down the most to the top and realize who they are. I read every story you wrote, every paper you turned in. If I want to be the best in my field, I need to help those I know can become great."
"And with a quirk, you can even help heros." He handed the paper to her. "Ge-us is my name. Quirk, solidifying gas."
She grabbed the paper. "Beka Irosh. Quirk, frostbite."
I'll see you in school. Now uh, unless you want to see me inject this bottle's containments into my arm then you might want to leave."
She held down her skirt and sat on the chair. "I got a week to learn everything I can about you. Can't leave now."
