Welcome to Atlantis Academy! (Lia && Chokuro)

Andres giggled as he turned and walked into the house, smiling a little more as he did so. He closed the door behind them and shrugged his shoulders as he walked to the kitchen. "I think they're used to it. They bought the school, you know."
 
"Yeah..." He'd found some time to read up on the history of Prometheus. And Nikkos... And Tomias. He wanted to know what he was getting into when he had decided to stay at the school. "I hope they don't expect me to like it." He made a face at the thought as he lead the way to the kitchen to find something to eat. He was sore, and exhausted. A sandwich and a nap sounded very nice right about then!
 
In the morning, Andres giggled as he nuzzled into the male beside him, taking in a few deep breaths before he perked up. Pulling away, he looked down at Isri, brows furrowing and he poked his shoulder a little bit ."Hey ... WE have seX?" he mumbled, still looking sleepy as ever as he stared down at him.
 
He was just settling in when he was poked in the shoulder. Isri's mouth dropped open at the...proposition? The brunette pulled away a bit with his thoughts whirling around very, very quickly. "Uhh... I think that'd be a very bad idea..." What could he say? Honestly, he didn't know Andres enough to even consider sleeping with him and he didn't know if he even wanted to consider it. Andres was his friend!
 
Andres looked the male over a little bit more before he shrugged his shoulders a little bit. "Okay." he sunk into the other's side, arms wrapping around him and he giggled softly. "I just thought it'd be fun. No worries."
 
Over the next few weeks, Isri's powers became stronger. He supposed that it helped that Nikkos worked with him at home, as well as his classes. The small brunette was also becoming accustomed to his new home, as well as his new... Nikkos and Tomias. Really, what were they? Guardians? Parents? Friends? Headmasters? Isri thought hard about that as he descended the staircase, heading towards the kitchen for a snack. There was a knock at the door as he passed it. He didn't hear anyone coming to answer it, so with a shrug, Isri moved to the heavy wooden door and pulled it open, gasping in surprise.

"How dare you!" the woman shrieked, reaching forward to grab the boy even as Isri coward backward. "How dare you sneak into someone's home and steal from them!" The woman got hold of Isri's wrist and twisted it hard to ensure his compliance.

"I didn't trick them, M-mom! He...he's a relative..." Isri's voice became lower as he spoke, knowing that nothing he said would make a difference to this woman, and that he might as well go with her. But the fact of the matter was, he didn't want to. "P-please! I want to stay!" A hand shot out and struck his cheek with a good amount of force.
 
It seemed almost out of nowhere that Tomias appeared in front of the woman, his arms crossed over his torso and he glared at the woman that just slapped Isri. He was only a second too late to stop her and it was pissing him off that he was. Which was very, very bad for this woman. "Ma'am. I will ask you nicely to release that child from your arms. He is legally in my and my husband's care. If you wish to make a fuss, I will gladly take you to court. Let him go."
 
He wasn't sure if he should breathe a sigh of relief at Tomias' appearance or not. On the one hand, his annoyance was miles better than his mother's anger. On the other, the man's mere presence would undoubtedly cause the anger to infinitely multiply, and he was still within her harsh grip. Isri whimpered softly, eyes darting back and forth in between Tomias and the woman.

"I assure you, you do not want this little shit," she hissed, eyes narrowed and dark. "He's trouble, and not worth an ounce he'll cause you." She tugged at him hard and Isri crashed into her side, though his shoulder wasn't so lucky as it hit the corner of the door jamb. He let out a wail as he heard the crunching of bone before he felt the unimaginable pain of one more broken bone.
 
Oh yes. Tomias was pissed off now. He stepped over to the woman, prying her grasp off of the boy's wrist and pushing her away. "You are trespassing on private property, ma'am." He hissed, looking her straight in the eyes as his arms wrapped around the boy, pulling Isri up and into his embrace, having heard the crush of bones and already mentally calling out to Relic. "Therefore, since you are on my property, the property that I own. I can shoot you and only pay a fine. You are injuring my child. You are trespassing on my yard. And you are getting on my last bloody nerve." His eyes lit up with his anger as he glared at the woman, eyes staying with hers. "Once more, this is my final time I will ask you to leave."
 
He made a mental note to not be quite so hard on Tomias in the future. Isri curled instinctively into the protective and strong arms that held him, trying his very best to not move his shoulder. That went all to shit, though, when he felt the waves of power coming from behind them, shaking at least him to his very core. Isri whimpered quietly while still trying to hear what was going on.

Nikkos had heard the commotion, and the sight before him as he entered the main entrance of their home angered him beyond anything. The brunette, small though he was, stepped in between his husband and the woman who was now attempting to edge herself closer to Isri. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, cousin." He spit the last word at her, as if it were venom that would corrupt him. "I think you misunderstand my dear husband. We, as headmasters of Prometheus, have filed abuse charges on behalf of Isri. You do remember the sweet little boy you dumped on our doorstep, do you not? No matter. Because of the charges, Italian Child Protective Services have placed him in our care until proper adoption papers can be drawn up, as well as indictment charges." He watched with a fair amount of glee as the woman's eyes widened and, finally, she took one step back. It didn't matter to him that he was lying through his teeth, so long as the woman stayed far away. "Now will you be leaving, or shall I summon the firearm of my husband's choice for him?"
 
Tomias watched as his angry lover came into sight, a smirk to his lips as he did so. He leaned forward and kissed his love's cheek and looked over at the woman. "Mm. I think my rifle hasn't gotten much use recently. Though, I did just get that lovely revolver that I've been itching to use." He sighed dreamily, leaning against his lover before spotting his brother. He straightened up, giving him a look of 'stay' before he turned back to the woman.
 
She didn't look too convinced, as far as Isri was concerned, and it seemed that Nikkos had the same thought because a wave of power shot out of him, causing a barrier that physically pushed her from their front stoop. "Let me be a bit more clear." Nikkos' voice was dangerously low, and his eyes held no sign of their usual warm chocolate color as his pupils took over. "You have exactly three seconds to vacate my property before I kill you with my bare hands." Another shove of magic and Isri couldn't help the very soft sigh of relief when the woman turned around and nearly ran from the house.
 
Tomias grinned. "The many reasons I love you." he whispered, kissing hte other's cheek before he turned and Relic was instantly there.

The tall ravenette scooped up the boy into his own arms and let a warm sensation linger on the other's arm, just to soothe the pain until he could set him on the couch. Once there, Relic knelt beside him and moved his hands over his shoulder. Hands staying there while a flood of warm and tingles filled the other's shoulder, staying that way until all the bones were mended and nothing was out of place. He relaxed, sighing softly as he did so. "There." He whispered, leaning up and kissing the other's cheek. "Better?"
 
While the wave of new activity wasn't fast, it still threatened to overwhelm Isri. The heat radiating from Relic's hand, however, soothed him a bit and when he realized that his shoulder was no longer crushed, the brunette threw his arms around the other man's shoulders and thanked him a few times over. Isri then made his way over to Tomias' side, pausing only for a minute before wrapping his arms around the man's waist and thanking him, too. He would get to Nikkos, but Tomias' actions were stronger in his own mind as the man really didn't have to come to his rescue.
 
Tomias wrapped his arms around the boy's shoulders, holding him and kissing the top of his head softly. "You're one of our family now. No one hurts the ones I care for and love." he whispered into his hair, hugging him a little bit more. He remained embracing the boy for a while before he pulled away so that he could thank Nikkos as well. In that time, he hugged his brother, thanked him, then sent him off.
 
Nikkos hugged Isri just as tightly, reaching out to his husband once the door was shut behind Relic. They would now have to file the proper papers in the morning, but with this incident, there wouldn't be any question of an outcome, really. Besides, living in one place over centuries gave them the advantage that everyone knew their family and their habit of taking in strays for whatever reason. "We'll speak with the chief of police in the morning," he told them both. It wasn't a decision Tomias would argue with even if Nikkos thought it important to discuss with him. "And a caseworker to get the proper paperwork in order." That decided, he pulled away from both men to go for the phone to order pizza for dinner. He didn't feel like cooking after expending the amount of energy he just did.
 
The next morning, Andres was rushing through the halls. Literally phasing through people and moving through everyone until he collided with his best friend. His arms wrapped around the other's shoulders, hugging him tightly as he did so. "ISRI! I heard what happened. I'm sorry! i'm so sorry I wasn't there!" he gripped him tighter, swaying from one side to the other and refusing to let him go.
 
He'd heard the commotion of the other students, and wasn't surprised in the least to see Andres flinging himself at him. Isri hugged his friend for a moment before pulling back (having to do so a bit forcefully) and shrugged. "What would you have done?" he asked softly, beginning to walk again. "It took both Nikkos and Tomias threatening her to make her leave. Besides, I wouldn't have wanted you there. What if she tried to hurt you too?" That was all he needed on his mind: the fact that his bitch of a mother had hurt his only friend in the world. If she had, Nikkos might not have had the chance to kill her, broken shoulder or not.
 
Andres whimpered as he pulled away and slowly released him with a pout. "But ... You're my best friend." He stated, hugging the other and he soon began to lead him to his first class. "I miss not having you down the hall from me! But I'm happy that they love you so much." He giggled and hugged the other a little bit more.
 
"That's why it was good you weren't there," he answered softly. The brunette walked to his class mostly in silence. He had a lot to process, and while he liked Andres, his overbearing presence was difficult to add into those thoughts at the moment. Still, he didn't want to hurt his friend's feelings, either. "Maybe... Maybe after things settle down again you can spend the night."
 
He giggled lightly and kissed the other's cheek. "Kay! Once you feel better. I'll see you for lunch." Gently bumping their hips together, he turned and rushed off toward his class. Swerving through and around others and skipping a few times to go to the room. He jumped into the classroom and held his arms out. "IM HERE!" He grinned and he hopped onto his desk, giggling excitedly.
 
The day went by faster than he thought it would. Isri was relieved to find out that, really, it was only Andres that knew about what had happened to him. Or, everyone knew and was afraid to say anything because of Nikkos and Tomias. And Isri was just fine with that, so long as they continued to keep their mouths shut.

He was making his way towards the cafeteria for lunch when Nikkos stopped him and asked him to come into his and Tomias' office. A little worried, Isri followed, taking the seat that was indicated to him. "You're not in trouble," Nikkos offered with a soft smile. The younger brunette visibly relaxed. "We just wanted to let you know that we filed the papers necessary to bring your...that woman up on child abuse charges, as well as adoption papers. If the charges are filed, you may need to testify." Isri tried to digest the information as best he could and nodded, still obviously thinking about it as they continued to talk a little bit more. He was finally released to go to lunch, and he slid into a seat next to Andres without saying anything.
 
Andres perked up. Seeing his friend beside him and he leaned over to kiss his cheek with a warm smile. At least until it drooped when he saw the other looking a little out of it. "Isri?" he questioned, head tilting to the side, brows furrowing as he did so. "Something wrong?" he asked, honestly quite concerned about what the other was thinking about.
 
He shook his head. Even though Andres knew what had happened, Isri wasn't ready to openly talk about it yet. Even to his friend. Looking up, the brunette forced a small smile and then a bite of food into his mouth. It would look suspicious if he didn't eat anything. He didn't like the idea of telling the world what had been done to him. If everyone knew, they would think him weak, and probably stupid for not using his powers to defend himself. Would they question if he was telling the truth? If he had these powers and could defend himself, but didn't, then maybe they would think that none of it really happened and he was just a trouble maker, like his mother said.

Those thoughts swirled around in his head as he stood to leave for class, ruffling Andres hair as he left.
 
Andres took the other's hand before he could leave too far away. He pulled him back softly and looked up at him. "I'm finding you to talk to later' he whispered and then released him so that he could go rush off to the class as well. He took up his books and sighed heavily. He was concerned about his friend. He really was. He just wanted to be with him and make him tell him what was goiung on in his head. but no need to pester too much, right?
