Drop-Off [open!]

[Dean Rexford]

"So you have my name and number. Don't hesitate to call me should you have any questions about anything at all. Okay?" A reassuring smile on Dean's face, the young recruiter held his hand out to the small girl who was struggling to keep the smile on her face. After she shook his hand, he stood back up and rubbed the top of her head, trying his best to alleviate her stress.

Once she was escorted to her dorm room, Dean turned around, planning to go back to his cubicle and settle the paperwork on this recruit.

But he was sidetracked by a sudden overwhelming urge to belt out -

"Living on a prayer!" He yelled out in the quiet office. "What the hell?" He looked around for anybody listening to music but he couldn't find anybody. "Seriously what the hell?" He laughed, wiping his mouth in amusement, wondering who had such a good taste in music.

[Ava Anderton]

Ava smiled listening to her music she bobbed her head Bon jovi you couldn't go wrong with the classics dancing slightly to the music she was trying to study but she needed a break she thought she might go and check in with one of her teachers they always helped and gave her support with the loss of her mother .

Holding her books close to her chest she had gotten out of the library most where stories of romance and life with a happy ending shrugging her shoulders slightly she flicked her hair out of her face one of her headphones slipping loose but she was now listening to 'living on a prayer' she couldn't help but sing along " take my hand-well make it l swear " she uttered a little out of tune but her voice was still light and airy poking her head around she looked to see if she could see someone sometimes she just needed to vent and find a way to express herself her quick glance scanned the room to see nothing letting out a small groan she turned back around but almost walked into the doorframe dropping her books she let out a small grumble she knelt down and started to pick up the books and the various English notes that she had taken too.

[Dean Rexford]

It was sort of hard to ignore when people slam into things. So when someone did, Dean felt relieved that it hadn't just been his overwhelming urge to burst out in song. That would have been a little worrisome.

Waves of annoyance and grief rattled him a little but he rode through it as he turned to see who had had a collision with the door.

Seeing the scattered books, Dean rushed over and helped the girl. "Hey, are you okay? Let me help you." The recruiter offered her a smile and stacked up a few of the books and handed them to her.

[Ava Anderton]

Ava blushed brightly seeing that someone actually was in the room sinking to her knees she nodded slowly " yea lm fine like always " she uttered she always had to be the strong one since her mother died she then had to take care of her sister help her father keep the house together not getting a chance to grieve and then she had her powers had surface around the same time so she was still keeping that quiet from her father.

" don't get to close..." She uttered looking at the stranger with a small smile " my powers are a little crazy right now " she said with a small smile as she reached for her books and papers " but thank you for helping me "she nodded as she stood up slowly her cheeks still bright red " can't believe l walked into the wall ..think l better get my eyes tested " she said before giggling quietly.

[Dean Rexford]

Even without her reassurance, Dean knew the girl was not fine...like always. He could sense how brave she was trying to be about something and he felt a renewed sense of hope that some people still had that kind of goodness in them.

At her warning, Dean tried to send some waves of reassurance that her powers wouldn't effect him. "It's okay, love." He responded with a soft smile, his thick English accent emphasising on the endearment he gave to everybody younger than him.

"Don't mention it." He waved a dismissive hand at her gratitude, thinking nothing of it. "Ah, sometimes you just have one of those days, yeah?" He gave her a reassuring smile before handing her the books she had dropped.

"By the way, nice choice of song to belt out to. Bon Jovi kicks ass." He nodded appreciatively as he stood up, reaching a hand out for her to grab on to stand.

[Ava Anderton]

Nodding at him with a small smile " to be honest l think its been just a plain bad year " she mumbled biting her lip slightly she took her books shuffling them slightly till they where in a nice order she smirked at him nodding " yea well that could of been worse l could of started singing AcDc " she giggled reaching up to take his hand with her lace gloved hands " just as precaution" She said quietly

Once standing Ava quickly moved her hand away from his " l don't think we have met before ..I'm Ava Anderton I'm sure your gonna end up hearing about me " she smirked as she leant against one of the tables making herself a little comfortable she then ran her fingers through her messy hair " but you are right Bon jovi is the best and his songs are utterly classic " she grinned feeling more relaxed and a bit happier suddenly things weren't seeming all that bad she would get her powers under control some how

" I'm scared of my powers .." She blurted out

[Dean Rexford]

Dean sighed sympathetically, feeling waves upon waves of doubts and fears coming off the girl. He cringed a little before giving the girl a soft and sympathetic smile.

"Hey, ACDC is a pretty tight group too though." The recruiter pointed out, just as the girl pulled her gloved hand out. He frowned slightly but grabbed her hand anyway. He blinked away the surprising pain from feeling what her abilities could do. He was a little out of breath by the time the girl stood up but he covered it up with another one of his big smiles.

"No, I'll have to say, besides my recruits, I don't make it a habit to meet the other students. Which is a habit I think I should start!" He grinned and introduced himself at the same time. "Dean Rexford. Pleased to make your acquaintance." He tilted his head a little, wondering what she meant by that.

"I couldn't agree with you anymore than I already am." He nodded solemnly before giving her a surprised look at her sudden confession. "Oh dear...may I ask why?" He gave her a concerned look.
