A/N: Sorry guys. Things have been crazy. Add in the fact that I have had writer's block forever and a day, and you have the perfect recipe for disaster.
Chapter 12: Home Sweet Home
oOoOoOo
Warren followed his roommate and Principal Powers at a safe distance. They reached a wing of the school that was always closed to students. There was usually a gate across it that included a maze of lasers across the top.
"This is usually closed off due to the fact that vandalisation tends to happen a lot around a school for juvenile super heroes. You two have the first suite of rooms, and I suggest that you not go exploring." She pulled card keys out of a pocket in her cream suit coat. "These are the keys to the front door to your rooms. They will also be the keys to your bedrooms. They aren't locked now, but they lock automatically after you leave tonight. To get back in you will have to insert your card key and say your full name, middle name included, to get into the bedroom you choose."
Warren reached for the key in her left hand. "Our names are the code?"
"Yes, Mr. Peace."
Kattianna finally spoke up. "How are we getting to work?"
"Mr. Peace knows where the transportation is. He's 'borrowed' it enough. Good night Ms. Haggar, Mr. Peace." She turned on her expensive heel and walked out of sight.
oOoOoOo
Katt walked up to the front door and slipped her card key into the receiver. When the door hissed open she stepped inside. She tried not to stare. The door led into the living room. The room was done in blues and greens. There was a big screen TV., a stereo with huge speakers and an Xbox. She walked into the kitchen to see a huge refrigerator stocked with easy make meals and junk food. "That's gotta go," she muttered. She hated junk food. The kitchen connected to the game room that the Commander and Jetstream had donated. There were two pinball machines, a karaoke machine, and pool and fooseball tables.
"Which bedroom do you want?"
"Huh?" she asked coming back to the land of the living.
"Which bedroom do you want?" Warren was leaned up against the game room door jamb.
"What's the difference?"
"Well, from what I can tell, the only difference is the bathrooms. One has just a shower and one has a bath and shower."
"What color are the rooms painted?"
"That really weird off-white color."
"Oh no! That will be fixed!" She shuddered. "I'll take the one with the full bath."
"I have the one on the right then."
Katt nodded and went to explore the room she had chosen. It was a pretty standard bedroom. Desk, queen size bed, walk in closet, and dresser were all it consisted of. It was painted that really awful off-white that reminded her of the hospital where she had spent so much time the past few years. "He better have brought my paints…" she muttered. She walked back out into the living space to sort her bags out from Warren's.
"What time do you work?" asked Warren from his bedroom door.
"At the restaurant? Four o'clock to close," she said trying to distinguish between two very similar suitcases.
"What do you mean 'at the restaurant'?"
"Well I have another job too. How'd ya think I managed to pay all the… bills…" She finally gave up and opened one of the bags. A drawing set greeted her eyes. It wasn't hers so she closed the bag and sat it in the pile she had designated for Warren.
oOoOoOo
Warren braced himself for the sarcastic remark when she discovered his drawing set, but she just zipped it back closed and put it in the pile that he assumed contained his belongings. "Where else do you work?"
"I play at an all ages club," she said gesturing to an open guitar case. The electric guitar it contained looked well used.
"Oh… which one?"
"The Night Owl. It's down on Dock Street." She finally seemed to have sorted all the bags into his and hers. The piles were about the same size to his surprise.
She gathered her bags and went into her room. "I'm gonna take a quick shower and change into a uniform and then I'll be ready."
He nodded and went to get ready himself. He hoped that she didn't get on the uniforms with a skirt.
oOoOoOo
