Thread: Professor, can you help me? (Charliesweb7 & Sho)

It was a beautiful August day. Then again, the weather in Miami was generally good. The winters werent all that cold, sunshine and of course the beach. Even the Keys were incredibly enjoyable but now everyone was getting back into the hustle and bustle of school. Eh, somewhat. It had only been a week so far. So people were still adjusting. The campus was particularly alive today. People resting on the grass and chatting, people outside and practicing their elements which you know caused some chaos and pranking. Just a general feeling of happiness on campus. The girl made her way through, holding onto the bag slung across her body. A soccer ball rolled onto her path and then hitting a tree before coming to rest. Someone shouted Yo! Over here!, wanting the ball back. The girl smiled before going a few steps to the side before then sending the ball back with a sharp kick. Everyone had normal lives here. They all played sports, did music or dance. And in those cases, your powers could not help you. In every game, meet or match, they had little black boxes that inhibited powers. Relying on your natural ability. That may be the only case where they were anything like normals besides being humans. Normals...the freaks of natures. The degenerates, the screw-ups...there was lists of derogatory terms for these people. It was their genetic mutation. Being born without powers. Which is exactly who Reed Breccan Kessler was for 18 years. She was a normal. Her family had a long lineage of greats. Her mothers family was great Earth and Air benders, very successful in their careers and such. Her fathers side was all Water benders. Her father actually stepped out a bit and married and Earth bender. They were highly respected in their fields and their children were great benders as well. All except Reed. She was just...normal. She could always tell her parents were a bit upset that she was normal. But they never said it nor did they try and treat her any different. Only other kids who picked on her for being normal. She was in a different school than her siblings, one for the ungifted. She excelled in school and sports, but she was just missing the one thing. A power. Finally, she had had it. She was tired of being normal. Of being an outsider and picked on. There was a doctor a few hours away who promised her a new life. So she saved up money and once she was 18, she had the surgery. He told her the risks. Powers going haywire, takings years or so to develop, losing powers and even death. But she still went through with it. And she got water bending. Of course, she was able to control simple things in every element. She headed up the stairs, then going into one of the buildings. She would be meeting with a professor today about tutoring. She was doing just fine in the non-magic classes. The other ones? She was really struggling. On her own, she had been teaching herself for the past 2 years. But she could only teach herself so much and explore without hurting herself or something. And in college? She was so far behind. This professor had a class after one of hers. He would always come in and erase the boards after, setting up. She had sat in on one of his lectures, of course in the back. He said he was willing to help any student with any problem. So she decided to go to him. She had sent an email and he said that he was flattered that she had asked him. They were to meet today. In his office. C-207 at 1pm sharp. Reed was wearing a pair of worn and washed jeans shorts, a few rips and frayed ends in them. They were also splattered with various colors of paint. Was that the way she bought it or did she do it herself? You couldnt really tell. On her feet were a pair of multi colored running shoes in shocking colors. Green, Blue, Orange, Yellow. On her frame was a plain white v-neck shirt, some black details at the trim of the v-neck. It highlighted her bust very well. She was busty to say the least. She had that hourglass shape, but she wasnt very skinny. Nor was she fat. But she did have a fair amount of meat on her bones. She liked to consider herself womanly. You couldnt see her hips bones, she didnt have a thigh gap or a protruding collarbone. And she liked it that way. But she was athletic and toned as well. Her golden brown hair, with reddish tones in it and it fell to past her bra line. It was a mixture of colors, hard to exactly pinpoint. Her eyes were hidden by a pair of small aviators that she slid into her beachy waved hair one in the building. She had ice blue eyes, indicative of her being a Water bender. Perhaps a tint of green or gold in there as well. Each bender had eyes to match. Blue eyes for Water. Green for Earth. Gold or Amber for Fire. And Gray or very...very pale blue for Air. She pressed her lips together before approaching the door. The plaque on the side read C-207. This was it. She saw that it was propped open. She knocked on the frame, standing in the doorway. Professor Leon? She asked gently, hoping she did not startle the man. Her one hand laid against her hip with the other held onto the strap of the messenger bag.
