"Oh, Geez," Jack sighs.  "May I remind you, señorita, it was Niall who infected me - No offense [Niall] - and caused me to become Mr. Hyde.  I was no more in control of my faculties than Niall was in control of his."  Jack looks at John, and says in exasperation, "See what I mean?  I'm always the bad guy.  Even when I'm being mind controlled by a virus created by someone else, I'm still treated like it's all my fault." 

John shakes his head.  "Look, don't put me in the middle of this.  You need to start working with these guys, not against them.  I don't know why they don't like you so much, but since it seems to be a common theme, maybe you should look into yourself, stop playing the victim, and start at square one."  John then turns and walks up the stairs towards his room, not wanting to be used as the Macguffin any more.

Niall takes the coke that floats over to him, raises it slightly and says, "Thanks." although he isn't sure who 'handed' it to him.  

He takes a sip, looks at Jack and says, "Well, sorry for whatever extra complications it may have caused you.  The Professor mentioned that you were more impacted by everything."

Ashley walks in at the same time as Niall.  She looks around and sees Jack and whispers under breath, "Fuck!"  Pushing his presences out of her mind, Ashley smiles at everyone and says, "Well it looks like almost the entire gang is all here."  She tries to ignore the sniping going back and forth between Jack and half the student body but when John gets up to leave she says, "You're not leaving are you?  You new students are the reason we got this shindig together."  Suddenly the illumination in the room darkens slightly and colors begin to project off every surface as if there was a giant disco ball hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the room.  "See, you can't go.  The light show has just begun."

John shrugs in response.  "Gotta be honest...I sorta...ran away.  I'm not sure you've experienced what I did, but if you did, I think you would have too.  If the Professor is as powerful as everyone says he is, maybe he already knows all of this."

Before John leaves, Jessica replies, "Well, the Professor's mental powers can seem a little intrusive.  I don't mean he's using them nefariously.  But you just never know when he might happen to listen in, like, for a wellness check.  Or sometimes telepaths can just accidently pick up random thoughts, especially if they are particularly strong thoughts; the telepath is inexperienced; or the telepath's powers attract thoughts rather than seek thoughts, like how Aurum's powers work." Jessica glances toward Demi (the shadow-girl is currently the controller of Aurum's body), who's been very quiet, and adds, "No offense."

When John decides to get up and leave, Jessica shrugs, whispers, "Rude..." to herself and then asks Malcolm, bellows and Porsche, "Well, you three are also new here.  What do you think?  Do you enjoy being around us Homo Superiors instead of hiding your powers around the normies?"

The raven flies down from the chandelier and while hovering around 5' in the air its body suddenly flashes a greenish light and its silhouette expands and morphs into a Native American teenaged girl.  "Hello Niall," she says to him with an outstretched hand.  "It's good to see you again.  We really didn't get a chance to chat much when you were here around 3 months ago, which was more my fault than yours.  Back then I was spending most of my time exploring the mansion as tiny animals.  Even now I feel more comfortable in animal form than in my human avatar.  I know this might all be a little overwhelming but you're among friends here.  Eat, drink and dance as much as you want.  I think we should do what Blink suggested and move this to the Rec room.  There's a lot more to do there."

Malcom looks at Psy-Jack si8gnifigantly. "W.way b.better than our f.former digs."

An look of open amazement came over Niall's face as he watched Donya transform.  Still somewhat dumbfounded, he shakes her hand while nodding and says, "Thanks.  Your transformation is amazing.  What does it feel like?  Can you heal or replace limbs during the change?"  He follows Donya towards the Rec room, obviously forming a list of questions about her power in his mind as he listens closely to her response.

Porsche smiles, grabs Saleem's hand and walks toward the rec room with him. Probably dragging him if he doesn't take the hint and just walk away from Jack.
