AN/ hiya everyone, and this is the second mortifying chapter for Megan, and a new guy who calls her powers cool, he means the flames, and she goes to warren for coaching./AN
After power placement, Megan was moved to hero classes, with warren as her guide, on principal Powers request, and boomer was thoroughly chastised by most of the staff, to the students glee. And Megan got to slap him, but she socked him in the jaw, earning her detention till lunch.
At lunch, Megan sat at the only available table with nobody sitting there, in the corner, and anybody who got close was given a glare much fiercer than any of warrens, that even discouraged warren, who sat with his ""friends" at wills table.
For her time after eating, she went to the gym, with her precious lifeline, her guitar. Megan pulled out the beautiful purple guitar with a flaming rose on the body, and a flame border on the sound box. She tuned it and began to play a song by Trans Siberian, from Beethoven's last night, it was the first track, and even boomer was rivaled for the amps volume.
Slowly, a crowd gathered, and people were whispering. Megan was oblivious, lost in the music, and as suddenly as the song started, it stopped, and Megan opened her eyes, and heard about 15 people clapping. She reacted as if a deer caught in head lights, and she ran, grabbing her amps.
The only one not clapping in the little crowd was Connor, a shortish boy with hair to just below his eyes. He was a mechnopath, and a hero. The black sweatshirt and baggy cargoes were typical teenage clothes, but he was a force to be rivaled. But the most conspicuous thing was the automail legs and an arm, lost in a plane crash. He was also in the military, a skilled alchemist, he was a master of the philosophers stone.
Megan was scared to death, afraid the people would find out about her talents, and exploit them, it had happened before, and she was afraid to go through that again. The incident was also what drove her fear of human contact home, and started the cutting.
Her arms were exposed during the song, and was she lucky the students had stayed away. They would have seen the scars. She had gone back to the gym, after it was empty, and packed her stuff up. Then she went to the bathroom. Leaning over the toilet, she pulled the knife across her arm, letting the blood flow, the pain a welcome release. And with each drop of blood there were a thousand unsaid words of fear and anguish, a thousand unshed tears.
As she stepped out , a boy stepped up to her and introduced himself.
"hi, I'm Connor, I heard you play, that was amazing, please do play again sometime. We all enjoyed it."
" uh….. thanks I guess, but I have to go now, the lunch line will be shorter now, and I have a few things I need to do. And I need to ask someone something."
And with that, Megan was gone. When she got to the lunch room, she saw the person she needed and walked over.
" Warren, can I talk to you? Its important"
" Sure, what is it?"
" I want you to teach me how to use the fire I conjured in gym, its important."
" of course, and tell me what those beads are on your arm, I'm curious."
" thanks, and I cant say on the beads, just that if I don't wear them, bad things happen."
AN/ how do ya like me now, a FMA addition, ain't that great! See yall' in the next edition.
