Continuing Education

Erin had a lot of things on her mind. The biggest one being the issue of how to get better with her gift. She wants to be the best Avenger she can be. No one on the team can really help her refine her abilities when it comes to be an aquakinetic.

The latest news actually helped. There was a school. Too bad she was recently graduated from the Rushmore academy. It would be easy to apply for her last year of high school. It is June, however, in a few weeks she will be eighteen. She is no longer a kid worrying about her grades.

She is a young adult. In September she will be going to college in the city. There has to be a way to work this out.

Erin made an appointment. Just to talk over her options. She wanted to be sure before she settled on anything. She arrives twenty minutes early. Traffic had been excellent today.

Erin adjusts her skirt as she exits her car then approaches the front door. She feels better already. She was glad she was doing this.

It will make everything easier on her.

"I'll have to commute since I'll be taking classes at NYU as well," Erin said thoughtfully. "It shouldn't be a big deal. I'll be getting around a lot this fall. Between the Avengers, school, and here I'll be busy."

She'll make time for her horses somehow. No way is she letting them miss out on the attention they deserve.

"That... makes sense. I wouldn't want to be put at risk for random mind control either. I hear it's a thing that happens in the costumed community."

"Once I know what the fall schedule will look like, someone will be in touch to make sure the commute does not get in the way," Rachel noted.

"You'll get a full tour of the grounds then. So you are aware of our other amenities. The pool, the stables, and so on." The Danger Room chiefly as well. But the redhead was not rushing into that one.

She gave a wan smile. "It happens more often than one supposes would happen, but I like all students here prepared for whatever eventuality."

"I just need to talk to my Freshmen adviser," Erin admits. "There's a waiting list."

She perks up slightly when Rachel mentions the stables. "I used to ride competitively..... But the pool is more useful. Swimming is... important. Contact with water helps my control later on."

Erin quirks a slight smile. "Given how often things seem to escalate... it makes sense to me."

"Our stables are in regular use here. Though some of the occupants are ... not your typical horses." As Dani liked making people muck out Brightwind's stall always found out. "Pool is open to any students and residents here. Just be aware it occasionally freezes over in the middle of summer."

From either Bobby or Bobbi.

"That makes sense given that I've heard... stories about the X-Men," Erin admits. "I don't think I'd bring any of mine over here. I wouldn't have them to get abducted by aliens. Seems more likely to happen at a school."

Erin smirks slightly. "Ice isn't a problem. It has water molecules. Give me enough time and I can fix it."

"I think the stables are the only original building left on campus. They're somehow the safest place. Probably all the horse droppings." Her brow furrowed. She wasn't sure, but she did find the stables usually weren't leveled when the mansion was.

She stopped being contemplative and raised an eyebrow. "Good to know. You'll definitely have to work Professor Drake after the assessment, but I'll still be interested in what he has to say."
