Note: I have rewritten some of the story to match my current plan for it. You may need to reread the chapters to see the differences. The songs are gone because I decided I didn't want them, a certain event has been referenced that is significant to the plot, and Mals encounter with the Maleficent statue is much different to the original.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything other than OC's
The bus ride lasted less than an hour, but for Van, it felt much longer. He still wasn't used to vehicles yet, and he wasn't sure he would get used to them, but the entire time he struggled not to vomit. The feeling wasn't as bad as when he was in the limo but bad enough.
Unwilling to let his teachers and classmates see him in such a weak state he pretended to be asleep the entire trip. Unbeknownst to him, two individuals had noticed.
Once the bus stopped Van was one of the first off. Taking in the air, he exhaled in relief. Never had he been so grateful to stop something before now. Having grown up on the Isle, Van had a higher tolerance for pain than most people. Motion sickness on the other hand was something entirely new to him. Public transport wasn't exactly a thing on the Isle (barring Cruella's car) and anywhere he needed or wanted to be he went by foot.
Having recovered his senses, Van took a minute to take in the area around him. To say he was amazed was an understatement. The city he was standing in was huge. There were roads with cars (the kind he had only heard about in stories) driving down, buildings so big they reached clouds, well-developed structures, benches, and people dressed in the sort of clothes Dizzy and Evie would gush over.
In one of the rare moments of his life, Van felt small.
He lived on an island with small homes and shops. The largest building, he was in was the Forbidden Fortress (Maleficent's castle) when he and the others went after the Dragon's Eye.
This, this was something else entirely. For the first time, Van realized how big the truly world was. His parents had always told him about other worlds and what they were like, but he hadn't paid much heed at the time because he never thought he would experience them.
Especially after… that.
Van really didn't want to think about that at a time like this but sometimes he couldn't help it. It was one of the real reasons he was so hesitant to come to Auradon in the first place.
"You alright Van?" Steve called snapping him back to reality.
"I'm fine," he quickly replied. "Just surprised is all. I've never seen buildings like these before."
Steve raised an eyebrow. He didn't know much about the Isle's infrastructure but from Van's words, it couldn't have been more two to three stories high.
However, he did not want to pressure Van so he let it slide.
"You ready to go in?" Steve asked.
"I guess," Van shrugged. "Why? Is something gonna attack us when we go in?"
Gabby smirked at his sarcasm. She was liking Van more by the minute.
"If you qualify an employee assaulting us with a boring lecture as an attack, then yeah, we are," Eliot answered in a cold voice.
Some of the other students shot Eliot uneasy looks, while others glared, which Van found incredibly unusual. Eliot scowled.
Every time he says anything, they look at him that way. No matter what he did, they couldn't get over the accident, even though it was years ago.
"Perfect!" Van responded sarcastically. "As if one wasn't enough already today. Whatever. Are we going in or not?"
"Just as soon as I can find…aah, there they are," Cody answered as he saw several other groups of children and teachers (whom Van assumed to be the ones mentioned before).
The next thing that happened was Cody talking it out with some of the other teachers as they agreed to divide up look after the different groups of students. There were seventy-five students in total for this tour, which is why the museum staff would be assisting them.
While they were doing that Van took a moment to examine the other students. They didn't appear very threatening, at least to him, though looks could be deceiving. Some of them had animal features though Van wasn't particularly bothered by that since it was not uncommon on the Isle.
Others had more noticeable features that were similar to Hadie and Mal. Demigods perhaps. He would find out later.
It was also possible that some of them were part alien as well, though he had no way of knowing without asking. And given how everyone else reacted to him, it was unlikely they would speak with a VK.
He noticed there were some adults, most likely parents, accompanying them, not that Van really cared.
Van then glanced at the building they were entering. It was certainly bigger than the other museum.
Decorated in red with spaceships and robots as mural's, a large golden globe at the centre turning slowly as fountain water shot up, several trees styled to resemble specific mechanical designs, and rows of flowers Van had never seen before.
Auradon was something he would give them that.
"Okay, everyone are we ready to go in?" His answer was a chorus of yes'. "Remember once we go inside, we'll split into our groups which will be lead by one of the teachers or parents who have graciously given their time to help us today and guided by one of the museum staff. Any questions?" Nobody answered. "Perfect. Without further ado, let's head inside."
Inside the museum
The interior of the museum was even larger than the outside and decorated in a similar fashion.
At the reception, there were several signs and routes to different exhibits. Too many for him to count.
Once inside they were greeted by the staff and they split into their groups. Much to Van's surprise (and relief), Steve was the teacher overseeing his group. Speaking of which, they were all reacting to the situation in different ways.
Huey was excited and has a small book out as though he wanted to record everything; Haru looked a little interested but otherwise kept his head down; Gabby looked bored; and Elliot looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here.
At the very least, they had forgotten about Van or just didn't care which worked out well for him.
Their guide was a young woman with dark shoulder-length red hair, topaz eyes, beige skin, dressed in a red uniform and heels. Her name Allison was plastered across her name tag.
After separating from everyone else Allison brought them towards the Beginnings of Technology section.
"Over the year, technology has undergone several developments to get where it is now," Allison explained. "Several of which were created by the late Anthony Stark, more commonly known as Iron Man." A brief wave of sadness overcame Steve as his deceased friend's name was mentioned. "Others include Phineas and Ferb Flynn, Varian, Haru Hamada, and so on."
Haru didn't react upon hearing his father's name, not that he needed to. He knew all of this already.
Van recognized the names from school. Aside from listening to villains rant about their enemies, every child on the Isle of the Lost was taught the history of their parents, their wrongdoings, and their enemies. Some had interested Van, others hadn't. He knew about these heroes from Carlos and Hadies brothers who admired their genius.
'I would be shocked if Carlos didn't fanboy about this,' Van internally admitted.
Allison continued to lecture them while they just took in all the information. Then they came to the topic of the infinity stones and how they had been used.
"These were powerful relics that predated the universe itself. The first time they were used by us was during World War 2," Allison stated. "They were used by Hydra. Would anyone like to explain who they are?"
Huey started looking through his Junior Woodchuck Guidebook to properly answer. Unfortunately, Van beat him to it.
"Hydra was a cult established millennia ago by followers of the Inhuman Hive who had been banished to another world called Maveth with the sole purpose of bringing him back. Throughout the centuries they evolved by taking on many forms to match the current society."
"However, during World War 2 they became public when they aligned with Nazi Germany as their science division. Led by Johann Schmidt, aka Red Skull, and assisted by Arnim Zola, Hydra created weapons for the Nazis to use against the Allies. Halfway through the war, Schmidt discovered the Tesseract, which contained the Space Stone, and used its power to craft far deadlier weapons that could vaporize his enemies with a single blast. With this in hand, he separated his faction from the Nazis and focused solely on his own plans for world domination, abandoning Hydra's true purpose in the process."
"Hydra was a driving force in the war and became the greatest threat to the Allies. For their endgame, Schmidt attempted to bomb the US with Tesseract-powered nuclear bombs, only to be defeated by Captain America."
"Despite this setback, Hydra was never truly defeated. They continued to operate within SHIELD, expanding their influence and control over other countries and instigating several wars. They planned an uprising within SHIELD using Project Insight which would enable them to eliminate anyone considered a threat to their agenda, until they were once again thwarted by Captain America, alongside Black Widow, Falcon, Nick Fury, and Maria Hill. After this, a war between the remaining factions of SHIELD and Hydra erupted with SHIELD eventually emerging victorious."
"Furthermore, the other Hydra led by Gideon Malick finally succeeded in bringing back Hive, using Grant Ward as a host, who immediately set out to rally Inhumans to his cause and control the world, only to be defeated when another Inhuman by the name of Lincoln Campbell sacrificed his life to blow himself and Hive in outer space."
"Other major encounters with Hydra include Wolfgang Von Strucker in Sokovia and General Hale who was the final leader of Hydra. However, they were dealt with by the Avengers and SHIELD."
"Despite constant defeat and setbacks, Hydra always came back with something new. As their motor goes, "cut off one head two more shall grow back", which believe me is very accurate."
"And that is Hydra in a nutshell," Van finished his explanation. "Does that answer your question Miss?"
The reaction he received was complete, utter silence.
Everyone's expression was shocked with their mouths hanging wide open. Huey even dropped his notebook.
Allison was overwhelmed. She hadn't expected such a detailed explanation. None of them had.
Steve was the most surprised. He assumed Van had heard of Hydra on the Isle but he hadn't expected him to know so much about them.
Van, who had been the object of staring two days in a row, once again felt uncomfortable. The people from Auradon were so weird. He does nothing they stare at him; he says something they stare at him. What kind of world were they living in?
"How do you know that much?" Gabby asked dumbfounded.
"Malick is a history teacher at Dragon Hall," Van shrugged nonchalantly. "And my mom was pretty insistent about me paying attention in school, so."
There were a couple of curious thoughts about his mother, but more about the school Van mentioned. Was it the only one or were there others?
"Well, you have pretty much explained everything," Allison said in a quiet voice. "Unless anyone has any questions, we will be moving on."
"Actually, I've got one," Van announced much to everyone's surprise. "Schmidt, was he called Red Skull because of a symbol he wore or was his skull actually red?"
The question threw most of them off but amused Steve and Gabby. Gabby because it was the sort of thing she would ask, and Steve because it was not the first time that question had come up. There were not that many pictures of Schmidt, and even fewer with his true face.
"His skull was not red," Steve clarified. "After acquiring Erskine's super-soldier serum, he injected himself with it. Unfortunately, the serum was incomplete, and his face became red and deformed as a result. Even still, it enhanced him."
Van raised an eyebrow. It wasn't what he was expecting but was satisfied nonetheless.
"His physical abilities?" Huey asked having picked up his book.
"Or his ego?" Gabby joked.
"Both," Steve stated bluntly.
Before they could continue the conversation, Allisson ushered them to move on. They were on a tight schedule and they needed to stick to that.
They continued on and came to a section called the Hall of Iron Man.
It had suits models created by Tony Stark himself ranging from the first suit he made when held captive by the ten rings, the Mark 1, and Mark LXXXV.
There was even a model of the arc reactor Stark used as part of his suit and to sustain his life after the incident with the Ten Rings that left shrapnel in his heart.
Van had to admit he was impressed. To think one man could do all of this by himself. It was a wonder why he wasn't brought back.
Personally, he had always found it strange how the heroes only revived the villains and none of their friends or family. They got away the first one, why not the second?
Then again, if they had Hades would have been downright furious. Hadies father had… opinions about Auradon raising the dead. Very vocal opinions.
As he continued to look around while listening to Allisson, from the corner of his eye Van noticed Steve staring at one of the suits with a solemn expression.
'That's right, they were both Avengers and friends,' he realized.
He knew some of Steve's history from Bucky and his wife. Having been frozen and brought into a time that wasn't his, Captain America had lost quite a few people throughout his life, even in the present.
Van didn't really understand the first part, but losing someone close to you, he understood that very well, more than he would have liked to.
Everyone from the Isle knew.
Other parts of the museum
Their visit to the Hall of Iron Man ended.
The section afterwards belonged to tech created by villains who were enemies of Iron Man, all of whom Van was familiar with. He could only imagine the ranting Obadiah Stane or Justin Hammer would do if they were here.
He was surprised to see the Vulture's wings, used by Liz's father Adrian Toomes himself. He was more of an enemy to Spider-Man but he assumed his hatred of the man earned him a place there.
Then there was Ultron which Van had only ever heard about but never seen. Then again you couldn't exactly bring back a robot (with magic). Most villain souls were taken out of Tartarus and placed on the Isle, while mechanical villains were not. If machines did have souls, and he wasn't saying they didn't, but if they did then they likely went somewhere else.
Following that they passed through the SHIELD section which had creations ranging from some of their weapons, quinjets, and devices created by none other than lead scientists Jemma Simmons and Leopold Fitz.
The stuff he was were the sort of things that would leave Carlos and a few others drooling.
However, what came next unnerved Van a little.
It was the part where Holden Radcliffe's designs came up. Despite his treachery, the scientist had worked with SHIELD enough to have his work shown in the museum, though whether he was aware of it or not he did not know. On the Isle, Radcliffe rarely if ever talked about his life before, aside from Fitz that is.
"These are Life Model Decoys, or more commonly known, LMD's," the guide explained. "Dr Radcliffe created many in his time while working alongside Anton Ivanov, leader the Watchdogs. These were meant to silently infiltrate and take over SHIELD by taking down several members and locking them away in the Framework, a digital world created by Radcliffe. His most notable creation was this." Van's eyes widened when he saw her. "It was called,"
"Agnes," Van blurted out, earning looks from everyone.
Allisson raised an eyebrow.
"Um, no," she corrected. "Its name was AIDA. It stands for,"
"Artificial Intelligent Digital Assistant," Van summarized. "I know what AIDA is, but she really looks like Radcliffes wife Agnes."
Van knew the woman personally. She was a teacher at Dragon Hall who taught Art, making her Mal's favourite. And right now, he was staring at an exact lookalike.
"Hmm, historically it's been reported that he modelled her after his girlfriend who was dying of cancer at the time," Huey pointed out.
Now that Van had not known.
"Cancer? She really had that?" he was taken back by the new information.
"Does she not now?" Gabby asked sounding surprised.
"I seriously doubt since it's been twenty-five years," Van explained. "I don't know all the details, but apparently when the villains were revived most were restored to full physical health. Any illnesses or physical disabilities they had were mended, and many had youth restored to them. Mental illnesses remained though."
The others were surprised at this new knowledge, with Huey planning to add it to his guidebook later. They didn't know much about what happened after the Isle was first formed. Steve was particularly intrigued because he had not heard anything from Bucky after he moved there.
"Still, I can't believe he made her look like Agnes," Van murmured still unnerved by what he was seeing.
"He never mentioned that before?" Steve questioned.
Van waved his head in denial.
"Unlike other machines or programs, like Ultron and the MCP, AIDA is hardly ever discussed," he admitted. "I don't know why though."
If he had to guess, AIDA was a personal conflict for Radcliffe. She was his creation, only to later betray and kill him. Van never felt like prying into a person's demons unless he was close to them, so he let Holden contend with his own. Maybe her looking like Agnes was a reason because when he died it was by someone with the face of the woman he loved.
He wasn't in the mood to question it. Fortunately, neither was anyone else as the guide motioned them to continue.
Big Hero 6 Section
Now they were in the Big Hero 6 area with devices used by retired superhero team. Such as:
Honey Lemon's Chem-Purse.
Go Go's Electromagnetic Discs.
Wasabi's Plasma Blades.
Fred's Monster Suit.
Then there were statues of the heroes themselves in full armour. There was a statue of another man as well named Tadashi Hamada as he stood between Hiro and the health robot Baymax. He wasn't an official member, but he did create Baymax which earned him a spot in this museum.
Van knew quite a bit about this group. Robert Callaghan lived on the Isle along with everyone else. He was a science teacher, engineer, and father. Unlike most villains, he didn't rant about his past failures or enemies. In fact, he held respect for them and accepted his life as it was. Many students, even the ones who didn't like him, respected him for this. He was also respected by other Isle villains for having restored some electricity to the Isle.
While teaching he would occasionally reference them. It ranged from their personalities to their scientific prowess and finally their deeds. There were very few villains who would hold their enemies in such high regard, but he was one of them. Then again, he had been their teacher at one point so it was only natural.
"Now you all know who this is," Allison announced bringing Van back to reality. "But would anyone like to talk about him."
"It's Baymax," Haru spoke in a soft quiet voice. "Personal healthcare companion designed for providing healthcare for all those who may require it. Equipped with information on over ten thousand medical procedures, including surgical, he is the ultimate doctor. He possesses various other abilities that make him suitable for hero duty."
Van raised an eyebrow. Baymax sounded like a robot version of Aerith and his mother, but way more. Maybe he was just as strict and chastising as them.
"Correct Haru," Allisson congratulated. "This is not the original Baymax, however, it still holds the programs and functions belonging to the original. For example."
She pinched herself hard and let out a small cry of pain. Almost instantly, the robot activated when it heard Allisson yelp.
"Hello. I am Baymax," the robot greeted with a wave. "Your personal healthcare companion. I was alerted to sounds of distress and am here to provide medical assistance." Baymax's chest lit up with several faces of different expressions and colours visible. "On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?"
"Physical or mental?" Elliot responded in a sarcastic tone.
Baymax briefly took notice of the Ice Prince before moving on to scanning Allisson and confirmed there was nothing wrong with her aside from mild skin irritation.
Enthralled by the event, Huey and Gabby asked him to scan them next to which Baymax obliged. However, he took this as being requested to scan everyone.
After confirming there was nothing wrong with Huey and Gabby, Baymax moved onto Haru (who was quiet throughout the ordeal), Elliot (who was annoyed), and Steve (who was amused), Baymax found no problems. Then he moved on to Van (who didn't really care).
"Scan complete!" Baymax declared. An image of Van's body appeared. "You have several scars and bruises over your body. Causes range from blunt force, impacts with the ground, and weapons, most likely knives with the possibility of a whip. Additionally, you have a fractured rib on you right side. Recommended procedures include Silicone gels, ice packets, and extensive periods of rest without exercise."
The silence was… deafening.
Everyone withing Van's group was staring at him in utter horror and disbelief.
Steve was the most shocked. If Van was like that this morning then… that exercise, the race.
'Oh God! What have I done?!' Steve lamented. 'I may have made it worse.'
"Alisson, could you take the others on ahead?" Steve requested. "I need to take Van to a hospital."
"S-Sure," the guide stammered still stunned.
None of the other students argued. They were still staring at Van with disbelieving expressions.
"Hold on a minute," Van protested. "Why do I need to go to a hospital? It's not that bad."
"Broken bones are bad," Steve replied sternly. "And so is having multiple wounds like yours. If they aren't treated properly, they could become quite serious."
"They were treated," Van countered. "A short while before I came here. Not that it makes any difference since there will just be new ones the next day."
Steve's eyes widened. He had a really bad feeling about this but he needed to know.
"Why is that?" he reluctantly asked.
This time it was Van who shot a look of disbelief.
"Are you kidding me!? Where do you think I grew up?" he asked incredulously. "Violence is a part of everyday life on the Isle of the Lost. Villains fight for territory, as a sport, or just as part of an argument. It is normal, for them and for me."
Steve really wanted Van to be lying, but even then, it was clear he wasn't.
"I still need to," Steve started.
"I'm not going to a hospital and that's final," Van defiantly declared. "If I'm not complaining about it, what's the point?"
Steve didn't care about that. He needed to get Van treatment.
"How are you not in pain?" Huey blurted out. "Most individuals are usually bothered by it."
"I had a rough and volatile childhood. Pain is something I got used to, and over time I learned to control it," he explained.
That explanation greatly disturbed everyone and made them think Van should see a therapist.
"Um, Mr Rogers," Gabby called. "If it's that big of an issue, why not just bring him to the school nurse when we get back? The tour is almost over and its nearly time for lunch. So why bother?"
Steve thought hard about it. Gabriella had a point; they would be returning soon so Van could get checked then. That didn't mean he was comfortable with the idea.
"Look, if it makes you feel better, I'll meet with this nurse when we get back," Van said. "But I am not, repeat not, going to a hospital. No matter what you say or do."
"He's Captain America you Sora cosplayer," Elliot said coolly. "I'm pretty sure he could drag there kicking and screaming."
"The only one who'll be screaming is him Ice boy," Van retorted with as much ice.
He and Elliot glared at each other as if daring the other to lash out first.
Steve ignored their little exchange and focused on the issue at hand. Maybe it would be better to talk about this with the other teachers.
"Fine," he said finally grabbing everyone's attention. "If we continue, when we get back you are stopping by the Nurse's Office no questions asked. Is that understood Van?"
"Yes, can we move on now?" Van begged.
He'd gotten sick of this conversation and wanted to move on. Fortunately for him, everyone else obliged.
Cafeteria
The tour continued on through several more exhibits ranging from Asgardian technology, and the legacy of Thanos which held a model Infinity Gauntlet and stones.
Students chatted amongst themselves. However, a few students preferred to sit away from the group.
Haru and Elliot were eating together. Neither of them was the most social of their classmates and preferred to sit in a quiet area. They didn't talk but they didn't argue either. It was an unspoken agreement between the two of them, which they were both grateful for.
Huey was chatting with his brothers and Webby with each exchanging stories.
Van had planned to sit alone since he didn't think anyone would want him sitting with them. The glares he received from some of the students were proof enough, while some of the parents just looked nervous. Others ignored him.
That said, he was surprised when someone did sit down with him. And it was his companion from the bus.
"Mind if I sit here?" Gabby asked.
"I don't own the place," Van retorted.
"What if you did?" she smirked. "Would you send me away?"
"Depends on how annoying I would find you," he smirked back.
"Am I annoying?" Gabby asked mockingly.
"Compared to the other students, no," he replied. "You are much more likeable than they are."
"Thank God!" Gabby exhaled. "If you think some of them are bad now, wait until you have to spend school with them."
"Why did someone put a stick up their ass?" Van asked mockingly.
"Uh-huh," Gabby confirmed. "A huge one, all the way in."
Van started laughing with Gabby joining in. It was official. He liked this girl.
Meanwhile, the teachers were having their own discussion about the trip. They talked about how interesting it was and some events that happened. Genie was a little tired from dealing with some of the more energetic students, but otherwise, he was alright.
"So, Steve, how was your group?" Harper inquired. "Anything exciting happen?"
"What about the new student? What is he like?" Genie added on. "A handful like the others?"
Steve hesitated for a minute. He knew how his colleagues would react, but even then, they needed to know.
"He's a good kid," Steve said softly. "However, during the tour, something happened. Van didn't do anything more it was something revealed about him."
Steve explained about the incident with Baymax and Van's injuries. He then told them about the things Van said.
As expected, they were horrified. Surprisingly, they kept their voices down.
"Mon Dieu!" Esmerelda murmured.
"I don't believe it," Genie muttered. "And he was allowed go on this thing. What was Fairy Godmother thinking?"
"Let's not jump to conclusions," Cody said quickly. "Knowing her, I doubt she would have let Van come if she knew."
"How could she not know? Didn't he go through a medical test when he arrived?" Ally asked uncertainly.
A standard procedure at Auradon Prep when a new student came in was to do a health check just to make sure that we're perfectly healthy.
"I don't they did," Steve admitted. "Van told me this morning that when they arrived, they were given a tour by Ben and Audrey and then left to their dorms for school the next day."
"Wait, they came yesterday?" Harper exclaimed. "And already they are in school? Why weren't they brought a few days before and given time to adapt first? Won't that overwhelm them?"
It seemed like a logical course of action. These were kids who had never known anywhere but the Isle. Being brought to a new land out of the bloom would certainly throw them off balance.
"Good question," Cody admitted. "I'll bring it up with Fairy Godmother later."
Esmerelda was in deep thought. From Van's words, this was common on the Isle, not just for him but everyone. Would that mean the other transfers have wounds?
Despite being in their history books, and having volunteers living there, none of them actually knew a lot about the Isle of the Lost. Many individuals wanted to forget the villains existed and be done with it but others like her fellow teachers who had never experienced the same horrors were curious.
Well, maybe not never. Thanos had impacted them all, even if they never met him.
Auradon Prep two hours later
The field trip ended and everyone returned safely. For Van, it had been utter hell just not to throw up on the bus. The fact that he had eaten didn't help either.
Still, the trip had been interesting. He also enjoyed talking with Gabby which was something.
The minute they got back Steve wasted no time in bringing him to the Nurse's Office.
The nurse in question was a woman named Claire Temple who was utterly horrified at the wounds on Van's body. Steve was the same because hearing about them and then seeing them were two very different things.
What surprised him and Claire though was how well-developed Van's muscles were. He had the physique of a six-pack which was unusual for someone his age. From Steve's perspective it was quite clear that Van was well trained.
"Okay, I am writing you a note to excuse you from classes tomorrow," Claire announced. "Take my advice and rest. Don't overexert yourself or you will end back up here."
"You sound just like Aerith," Van commented.
"I don't know if that's a compliment or insult but I'll take it," Claire retorted. "Get some rest. If you are feeling worse come back and I'll help you as best I can."
Van left the office and was escorted by Steve to his room. After saying thank you, the two parted ways.
Laying in bed, Van just decided to rest. Taking it easy every now and then wasn't so wrong.
With others
Meanwhile, the people from Van's group were resting themselves.
As they did they thought about their new classmate and formed their own opinions of him.
Elliot though Van was an insufferable asshole just like the rest, though he did give him points for insulting them since Elliot didn't like them either.
Haru was a little intrigued by Van but was disturbed by his injuries. He doubted they would be talking in the future though.
Huey was curious about Van and the environment he grew up in. there weren't many documents about the Isle of the Lost so having a resident who knew it personally was a great thing.
Gabby definitely liked Van. She had only known him a short while and already she believed he was better than half the students. It would be fun getting to know him even more while he was here.
Hi there. Well, what did you think of that?
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've just been so busy with college and I will be busy again.
This chapter gave you a bit more on certain characters Van will know throughout the story. I also wanted to show an intelligent side to him rather than just aggressive.
For those of you wondering, the "Aerith" mentioned is Aerith Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII. She is on the Isle as a volunteer.
Next chapter will show the same day but from the other VK's perspective.
Also, I've set up a poll on my page to decide what story I am doing next. If you are interested, please vote.
Hope you enjoyed it. Please review!
