Date of Scene: 04 May 2019
Location: Xavier's School
Synopsis: Scott interviews J'onn for a teaching position, with Blink sitting in
Cast of Characters: Blink, Martian Manhunter, Cyclops




Blink has posed:
As Blink and J'onn had spoken of his interest in earthly professions during his time on Earth, the subject of teaching had come up. Blink had not mentioned the details of the school - such as the mutations of the student body- at which she was often staying while she worked security for Lorna. But she knew the powerful telepath would be privy to that knowledge anyway. Still, she avoided mentioning it aloud, just the same.

But she did say she'd seen mention of filling some faculty positions while she was there. Topics that might be suitable for J'onn to teach included... well, probably all of them. He could borrow the knowledge of any Ph.D on the planet. But Science would be an area the Martian would be able to contribute without needing to resort to that.

And so Clarice had spoken to the school, saying this particular member of the Justice League was seeking more earthly interaction and might be interested in the school, not as a hero but as a teacher. The meeting was set up and Clarice and J'onn teleport into her room at the boathouse and then make the walk over to the school.

"The people here are so nice," Clarice says to J'onn as they walk to the staff meeting room to meet Scott Summers. "I wasn't really sure what to expect when I first got here. I was only here because I work security for Princess Lorna, and to help her move about to meetings and back and forth to Genosha easily. But the students and staff both have really embraced me when I'm here," the somewhat introverted mutant says, giving a warm smile.

Her thoughts drift to memories here. Taking some of the faculty to Genoshan beaches. There's a thought of Rogue pulling up an old World War II aircraft out of the bottom of the ocean and flying it around. And one of Scott Summers relaxing beside her, the two of them floating on surfboards waiting for the next wave to come in, while a green-haired woman, Lorna, flies above the ocean beside them.

Martian Manhunter has posed:
J'onn was just talking about his interest in interacting more with humans, finding a position to interact with them on a regular basis. He didn't mention his already present job as a police officer, so far, after all that'd be more about investigating and capturing criminals more than actual social interaction! And then Clarice came up with the idea of the school, an idea that J'onn didn't take long to fully approve. And so today he is there, close to Clarice, seeing all those images in her mind and smiling at her "well I'm sure this will be a wonderful place, Clarice..." he comments smilingly, then asks "who're we meeting then?"

Cyclops has posed:
    Scott sits in the meeting room already, wearing a decently maintained and pressed blazer over a pair of jeans and work boots with his shirt tucked in and a sensable tie. The man has a stack of papers on the table before him and a briefcase to one side. Seems he's going for the full professional look but when the sound of the door opening registers, Scott stands up, slides his hands over his tie to smooth it out and then tugs at the hems of his jacket to pull out any wrinkles, Scott gives a curt nod to those entering. "Good after noon." Scott begins kindly.

Blink has posed:
Clarice opens the meeting room door as she tells J'onn, "Scott Summers," and motions towards the man as he is indeed sitting right there. The same person from the memory of the Genoshan beach. "Hello Scott," Clarice says, giving him a soft smile. "This is J'onn J'onzz. The Martian Manhunter of the Justice League," she says, even if the large man beside her looks entirely human at the moment. Clarice then moves out of the way to let the two men meet.

Martian Manhunter has posed:
J'onn is, indeed, shaped like a tall and athletically built human, dressed in simple, yet appropriate clothes, that manage to blend casual and elegant with a pair of pressed pants and a black shirt over them. "greetings, mister Summers!" J'onn greets the man, offering a light smile and walking forward, right hand extended in Scott's direction.

Cyclops has posed:
    Scott steps forward, his hand grasping J'onn's politely and firmly with two shakes, like Charles had taught him. "So, Clarice here and others have told me that you're interested in a teaching position at this school?" Scott says, looking up towards the Justice Leaguer, "And as much as I hate to say it, your overqualified, but by being interested I'd be foolish to turn you down. There's no reason to not have you teach here other than the fact there is a heightened risk afforded to the students and everyone else simply by you being here." Scott says with a frown outwardsly as he still thinks in terms of danger and do the benefits outweigh the risks. He's severely broken in that regard but he does seem to be willing to hear J'onn out.

Blink has posed:
Blink moves further into the room as the men meet by the conference table. She goes over to the windows and opens up the curtains, letting in some of the warm light from outside, checking to make sure it isn't in anyone's eyes or disturbing any of the student-teacher meetings going on in other areas of the room. She returns to take a seat nearby, staying quiet to let the two men talk as they conduct the interview.

Martian Manhunter has posed:
J'onn shakes Scott's hand, then releases it to listen to his words, his eyes focused entirely on the man leaving all his other 8 senses to track the position and movements of blink. "well, mister Summers, I am mostly interested in two things. First of all, as a, ahem, personal project? Getting to interact more with humans of, all types, is something that would greatly help me to adapt. And then, I would do whatever's in my power to be of help to this planet, and if that includes trying to share my knowledge with those who wish to learn, so be it." he then will smile slightly, glancing briefly out the window "if it is true that my presence here could cause some dangers, it is also true that I could be of help in defending the place, should it be needed. Plus, the chances someone looking for me would really be able to track me here are not that many. Hopefully, only a few people will be aware of who I truly am and, not making others discover, is quite the easy task for a shapeshifter and a telepath."
