Saint Joseph School

(( This is me being boastful about my new badge, feel free to leave any comments ya like, IC of course ))

Stopping on the way between classes, Jake entered the mail room. While he didn't normally get a lot of mail, he always liked to check to see if anything came. This time there was a large 8X10 envelope. Pulled it out of the box and closing the door, he looked over address.

"Hmm, it's from Hero Corps, hope it's not more stuff to fill out. Man, feels heavy, too." Jake mumbled to himself. Filling out paperwork is too much like homework, and he had more than enough of that!

Tearing open the top, he pulled out a single piece of paper. Opening it, he read...

Hero Corps
Atlas City

Dear Jake,

We have been watchful of your help among the Heroes of this city. Your name has come up on our reports from those who work for us many times as being "very helpful" many times. We would like to present this badge from us. For your help in healing the wounded, you are now an honorary "Doctor". To earn this badge at your age speaks highly of your commitment to your fellow heroes.

Thank you.

Jake was suprised. Sure, he liked to head out after classes and tag along helping the "real" heroes (or even some classmates who get themselves into trouble!), but he never realized how much he had done until now. Reaching into the envelope, he pulled out the small silver and gold button.

Turning to the others picking up mail, he said, "Hey look guys, I got a new badge! You may now call me Dr. Moon!" Jake laughed while fixing the new badge on his collar.

Eshva's face lit up.

"Congrats!!!! You've so earned that espically with all that help you gave me durring my attempt to solo Sister's TF alone. I realy needed those medica packs! Anyone wanna throw a party for this!"

Eshva flashes a smile.

Jake smiled at the horned girl. "Yeah, that'd be cool. Hey, if mine came in today, maybe someone else got one, too!"

Jake adjusted the little badge, making it look right. "Oh, I gotta show Kali this!" He looked around the mail room, then stuck his head out in the hallway to see if she was coming. . .

Kali stands in the hall watching the non stop parade of school kids around her.
So many new faces, its hard to keep up with who is who these days.
Smiling as the new ones pass and giving waves here and there to the few she recognizes , she sits her bookbag down next to her and watches for Lightfall or Oby to make thier normal trip down the hall.
Kali leans against the locker doors , a somewhat distant look on her face. Off in the land of day dreams , the places where the water and sand meet and the breeze embraces her.
A sudden tap on the shoulder followed by a playful poke in the side catches her attention and she looks up briefly to see Biff standing grinning.
" Dreaming of football players Kali?" he asks with a laugh then heads on down the hall before she can answer.
The blush in her cheeks begins to fade as she shakes her head at Him and lifts her bookbag once more to head to the next class.

Jake looks around once before deciding to head back to class. Turning down one hall, he sees Kali. He starts to walk over, but notices a large boy stop and talk to her. But before he could decide to talk or just keep on going, she blows him off. Jake smiles to himself, and hurries around the other kids to walk next to Kali.

"Hey! Look what I got in the mail!" Jake pivots to the side to show off his new badge. He smiles again and blushes. "Well, gotta go to class, see ya!" he says as he hurries ahead.

" Oh mygawd that is sooooo cool!" Kali squeels with excitement.
"Youre gonna get another if you keep following me around when im tanking!" she giggles.
The ongoing joke between the two of them always makes her laugh and she knows most people probibly think shes crazy when she talks of tanking.
Waving to Jake she smiles again.
" St Joes is sure blessed to have Him" she says outloud, not knowing if anyone heard.

"Youre gonna get another if you keep following me around when im tanking!" he heard he say as he was about to round the corner.

"Hah! You follow Stasis too much, starting to take after her... may not be back thing though!" He laughs and disappears around the corner.
