Second Floor, Early Wednesday Night

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe gives a small grunt as she pulls a box out past the door of room 228 and into the hallway. She has to admit, she's excited about moving up to the East Attic with Veronica. She's really starting to like Piper - and the idea of having her own bit of space.

"I think we're going to need larger and stronger people for some of these boxes," she says to Veronica. "I didn't realize we'd made them so heavy."

"Positive." Molly smiled at each of them. "Molly Hayes." She reached out to take the box from Krycek with one hand. "New freshman, super strong mutant. Nice to meet you both." She set the smaller box on top of the one Krycek had given her and balanced them both on the palm of her hand.

Yes, she was showing off a little, but only to prove that she was telling the truth.

The showing off certainly impressed Chloe. "Wow," she said, eyebrows raised. The word "mutant" set off little bells in her head as she wondered if Molly might be from the same world as Jake. "It's nice to meet you too."

Krycek had the same though as Chloe, though he didn't know that. This girl hadn't been at the Meet-N-Greet when Jake had been down there, he didn't think, so he'd have to ask him later...

He eyed the boxes she was balancing and smirked. "I'll go get some more." Pausing, he glanced at Chloe. "Actually, you want to head up and make room? I'll grab some of the boxes with Molly and show her the way." Chloe nodded and said her goodbyes to Molly before heading up the stairs.

Krycek motioned for Molly to follow him as he headed back to the second floor landing. "So how's your first day been so far?"

Molly said goodbye to Chloe and shifted the boxes to a more stable hold so she wouldn't accidentally drop them as she followed Krycek down the stairs.

"Pretty good, I guess. I'm not used to so many people, but everyone I've met has been really nice."

"It's a pretty friendly place," he agreed, going back down the hall towards Chloe's room and the pile of boxes. "So where are you from?"

Molly looked at every person and glanced into every open room that they passed on their way to Chloe's. "L.A.," she answered, distractedly.

He watched her rubber-necking and snickered. "Is super strength your only mutant power?"

Still rubber-necking, Molly didn't notice Krycek's amusement. "Well, as far as we can tell, I'm nigh near invulnerable. It takes an awful lot to hurt me. I can get knocked unconscious, but not actually physically hurt."

"So it's defensive as well as offensive? Interesting," he mused. "Who's 'we'?" Krycek was just curious, really.

"Yeah, I guess," Molly answered, still distracted by every new thing they passed. She turned to look at him to answer the next question though.

"Oh. My friends. The other kids I lived with before they all decided to go off to college," she said with a pout.

"And you got sent here?" He guessed, arching an eyebrow.

"I chose to come here," Molly clarified. "I haven't been in school for three years, so a normal high school wouldn't take me and there was no way I was going back to the 6th grade."

She sighed. "It was either here or an X-Corporation school." She made a dismissive gesture with one hand. "Been there, done that."

She started looking around again as she shrugged. "This place sounded pretty cool. Students of all background from tons of different places. They said I wouldn't have to play catch up as much since some of the other students would have even less schooling than me."

She turned back to Krycek again, eyeing him critically. "So. What about you. Anything special about you?"

Krycek was vaguely disappointed as he realized that "I died once" was no longer a 'true' answer. "Nothing in particular," he said, shrugging. "I'm human, from Earth, and only a couple years behind the present date." Krycek cocked his head, pursing his lips slightly as he seemed to consider something. "My boyfriend's a mutant though."
