BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

Celia had had a trying morning, thus far.

She'd boarded a train in New York at the crack of dawn with a large trunk that she was pretending to struggle to carry. Hector had given her a cursory pat on the top of her hat and a tug to one stray curl, accompanied by a stern look that Celia knew meant Don't make me regret this. She'd fallen asleep on the train, and the conductor had awoken her...here. She'd not expected Maryland to be quite so much...brighter, or louder or confusing -- and in fact, Celia had been to Baltimore before, once, and she was very sure that this was unsettlingly different. She'd stumbled off the train, been ushered through a security checkpoint filled with people dressed strangely and giving her even stranger looks and now she was...here.

If not for the glittering sign bearing the name 'Fandom High,' she'd think she was in the wrong place.

Celia slumped gratefully into a chair, dropping her trunk on the floor beside her, and let out a sigh. Then she immediately straightened up. It wouldn't do to have her new classmates think her a lazy slob at first meeting.

[YAY NEWBIE SHUTTLE.]

//I'm not the one who said it, mate,// Jono replied, shrugging. //Mostly, you just look like a skeptical teenager, to me.//

He knew of a few of those.

"All right, so let's work on the skepticism," Joker decided. He tucked his crutch into his armpit so that he could lift two fingers to his temple. "What number am I thinking of?"

Sure, Jono's telepathy doesn't work like that, but just for the record the correct answer was "Planck's constant". Either that or "yo mama" -- Joker was having trouble deciding.

Well, it could work like that. He'd honed his powers over the years, including how to listen to people's surface thoughts, but Jono wasn't generally the sort to go delving.

//I'll do you one better,// he replied, reaching up and pulling down the bandages right over where his mouth would have otherwise been. //You tell me how I'm talking to you right now.//

Joker stared. How did... What was... He didn't have a MOUTH. Just a yawning chasm of flame that... Okay, he was going to need some time to process that.

"Why are you asking me?" he quipped. "You want to get a doctor to look at that."

//Believe me, I have.// He smoothed the bandages back up over his flames again, and then cocked an eyebrow at the boy. //They tend to give me that look, too.//

"Yeah, well, they give methat look, too, and all I've got is a mutated chromosome. Sometimes, doctors are just stupid."

Shared experiences were easier to talk about than "I don't think your face is physically possible."

It was probably fortunate that Jono hadn't shown Joker his chest, too, then.

//Mutations,// Jonothon noted. //Making people miserable since life began. At least we can both agree that most doctors... don't exactly have anything resembling tact or people skills.//
