Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan has felt a bit better since the announcement yesterday, but there was still a few things to handle on the front of the school going public. And the kids seemed excited about things as well. But it's post school hours and coffee was still needed to get through the rest of the day. The redhead can be found in the teachers lounge fixing a fresh pot of coffee while there is some downtime and while things are halfway quiet.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein had been trying to find a bit of time to talk to the lady in charge. He has just finished making sure the gym and the shop are set up for the next day they will be needed and came by hoping to find her in the lounge. When he spots her the large red headed man smile and heads over towards her "Miss MacIntyre, do you have a moment?

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan's getting a mug down from a cabinet when she hears the door to the lounge open and it admits the large red headed man. There's a smile to him, "Hey Mister Rothstein." she dips her head a little in greeting. "I've got a moment, what can I do for you?" she asks as she pours herself a cup of coffee and then moves down the way a little to doctor it with cream and sugar.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein walks over and stands in talking distances so he can talk without hollaring across the room, something that may have become a habit in his classes. "I was wanting to talk to you about your announcement earlier. I wanted to let you know if you need specialty help with the students with powers, I will do what I can, I grew up with powers myself, luckily I had a few uncle types who could help teach me as I was learning more about them.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan's violet gaze looks curious as she looks over to Albert and takes a sip of her coffee. She listens to him intently though as he speaks and there is a softer smile that graces her features as he tells her a bit of his past. "Mister Rothstein that will be very helpful as we move forward with things. I'll be honest, I was hoping that this might make people feel more comfortable in the school. Hiding is something that I don't want to be normal for the students. They have every right to be public about things and feel protected." she explains. "If you don't mind me asking, what sort of powers do you have?" she asks him.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein smiles a bit and says "Well, I believe it would be considered a form of density or mass control. I can make myself out of phase with things." He will concentrate and his hand will pass through the counter. " He lets himself go back to normal "I can also grow, I have maxed out around thirty foot tall so far. As I get bigger I do of course get stronger. I am stronger than normal even now." He will add on "And I seem to be immune to radiation." He rubs the back of his neck "Feels odd, feels sorta like I am bragging."

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan looks curious on what it is and the answer that comes after the question makes her nod to that, "Seems like that would be useful in more than a few situations to be honest." she admits. "Now if you make yourself out of phase does that sort of mean you can let things pass through you?" she asks him curiously. "Ah, growing. You and Doctor Pym might need to talk to each other and see if there are similarities in that sort of power." she smiles to that. "Not really bragging if someone asks you to explain." she tells him in a gentle tone. Trying to reassure him of that.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein nods, and says ""Yes, I can pass through things or things can pass through me when I do it. I was also taught to box and fight by the original Atom. So I can teach hand to hand as part of gym class or if there is an issue, I can help defend the school. I do the whole hero think on occasion."

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan makes a mental note of the information that he gives her on the powers that he has and what they can do. If she had a pen and paper she'd be doing the same really. "I think that would be nice for the kids. You and Colleen could work together to see where kids might best fit for self defense and things of that nature really. I don't want anyone to think we're a superhero academy, but I think teaching basics for things like that is a good idea in any school." she admits. "And I am really hoping that no one will try to do anything to the school or the students, but after last years incident we really can't be too careful." she sighs softly.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein nods, and says ""Yes, I can pass through things or things can pass through me when I do it. I was also taught to box and fight by the original Atom. So I can teach hand to hand as part of gym class or if there is an issue, I can help defend the school. I do the whole hero think on occasion. I can probably get here from my garage rather quickly if there is a a plane or chopper I can borry near my house."

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan gives a look to him and there is a smile, "Alright, which power allows you to just hop on planes or choppers and use them?" she asks jokingly. "So are you a pilot on top of being a mechanic?" she asks him curiously. "Not that it's my business, but it seems like a fun skill to know at a young age." she points out.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein nods, and says "Yea, My father was a pilot and my mother works at Nasa. I grew up around flying vehicles, and always wanted to pilot a helicopter like my father did. So, I was working on any engine I could get my hands on since I could turn wrench, and mom figured best to get me lessons in flying before I snuck off and tried to teach myself."

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan listens as she holds the cup of coffee in her hands. A smile given at the talk of his parents, "NASA is a really cool place to work for." she states with a nod to that. "Your mother had a good idea. Because I'm sure if you'd not gotten the classes you'd have taught yourself." she chuckles. "Seems that is a trait that most of our students and faculty have in common." she muses to that.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein nods a bit and says "The kids do seem like decent kids though, are you wanting to start any ground up builds for shop class with the fall semester?"

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
"They are. Though I need to figure out where Xiomara and a few others have gotten off to or if they are just outgrowing us." Morrigan states. "And I might have an idea for a ground up build for you guys, but if there is something that you think that kids might like then please feel free to do so. If there are things you need for the shop just let me know and we can get them ordered for you." she smiles.

Hank Pym has posed:
The vending machine dispensing granola bars give a little rattle and clatter. The door to the tray in the bottom is pushed up and Hank Pym climbs out at about 1/12 size, a fruit bar over his shoulder. Hank throws the fruit bar to the table and hops out growing to let his feet reach the ground before he can actually fall.

"Dr. MacIntyre, that vending machine and the one for the students in the main entrance need an overhaul. I had to do this twice yesterday... don't worry I witnessed the money going in both times. This thing robbed me twice. Hello Mr. Rothstein."

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein nods, and says "I will check a few of the local junk yards and see what I can find. Something with a straight frame, not to expensive on parts. " He looks over to Hank Pym, and nods "Dr. Pym, how are you doing?" He asks chuckling softly at the creative problem solving.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
The sound of the vending machine rattling and then Hank appearing makes Morrigan have to stifle a laugh with the back of her hand, a moment is taken to compose herself before she lowers it to smooth over her skirt, "Doctor Pym. You got out of the machine just in time." she muses to him. She then looks back to Albert, "You'll probably have a lot in common with the good Doctor here. He's good people." she smiles to that.

Then back to Hank, "I'll see if maintenance can look in on them and fix the issue." she states.

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym nods and seems satisfied. "If they can't fix it, give it to me. First indie project, get a bar out with an assortment of household items. Uhm I think I can help with security matters, Doctor MacIntyre. Let me see..." He touches his ear bud and concentrates. "Mmm two students 'making out on the lawn by the big oak. Lunchroom delivery truck backing up to the loading bay. Oh... smoking under the bleachers at the athletic field. That was just a demonstration... I wouldn't spy on students but the little friends can let us known if something unusual is happening." He goes over to the window and yells, "Hey! Move to the other side of the tree! You're in plain sight. Have some decorum. You know I'm right!" He turns away from the window and shrugs. "Kids."

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein looks over and says "I was just offering to aid with security but not quite the same way." He chuckles a bit "Dr MacIntyre actually suggested I might want to talk to you at some point. As I am powered and one of my abilities is akin to one of yours, but mine is innate, I can grow as you can."

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan's going to go home and collect the ant traps and throw them away after this display. She looks more than amused by Hank's detailed information and then him yelling at the teens that are outside, "That's impressive." she admits to that. Then she looks to Albert as he brings up powers and then back to Hank, "I figured it would be nice to speak on that...if that's alright." she tells him.

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym nods. "I'm good with secrets. I'd say ask anyone but... they wouldn't know. The ants are always around if the weather is warm enough. I can have them report any keywords we decide on. I suggest joint and blunt be on that list. when they work they work pretty well." He gives a somewhat rueful smile at that.

He turns to Albert and says, "It's a pleasure to meet you. We should talk sometime... outside of work. Do you still... ?" Hank does a sketch of a mask around his eyes with a finger quickly after making sure no one was at the door.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein nods his head a bit to this and says "Still relatively new on that scene, about a year or two now, but trained by some of the original JSAers." He offers in explanation. He makes sure none else around and says "Nuklon." In offer of his hero name.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan gives a smile to Hank, "I'm glad we have them around as well." she nods to that. "I'll have to get a list of words together for things like that. Honestly weed might be the least of our worries with these kids, but good to keep track of it." she chuckles. The mask sign given to Albert makes her look between the two of them and she shakes her head, "You know...wearing those little masks over your eyes when people know what the rest of you looks like has always been something I was on the fence about." she muses.

"Or that's what I used to tell one of the Avengers." she shrugs to that with a chuckle.

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym nods to Morrigan. "Pretty much a mask and head covering minimum. But it's also about what you're comfortable functioning in. And people look very different when they're in uniform. Even Mr. Rothstein. There are people his height and I'm sure he varies it in costume and then eye witnesses suck in plain language. I mean I could do a class... I start talking and you come in and pretend to zap me or shoot me wearing a domino mask and your hair under a hood -big hood. See how many of the students recognize you."

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein smirks a bit and says "I do a bit more than the mask, but to be honest, I bank more on I don't normally hero around where I live too much. I wear the hair up in a mohawk when on the job, and most would think it has to be some type of disguise." He admits

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan gives a grin to the two of them, "Yeah, I'm guessing people have other things that they do. I'm not going to go costume shopping anytime soon though and leave that to others." she nods sagely to this. She really didn't need a costume. "Part time heroing is probably a good thing, but I support people that do it full time. Trying to handle a normal work schedule and that on top of it is admirable." she states.

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym nods his head emphatically. "The commuting alone... I mean I was an independent government contractor before Pym-Tech and the Avengers but before I mastered the growing part of the equation Getting around at a half inch tall was not easy. So, you don't want to be a supervillain to let me demonstrate most people see nothing? Very well." Small smile.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein looks over and says "So, if you don't mind me asking, how tall have you gotten up to, when you were growing Dr. Pym?" He will get himself a soda and leans against a counter listening.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
"I mean, I'm always up for pretending to be something so that it can educate the students." Morrigan chuckles to that. She sips her coffee as the two of them talk. Albert's question to Hank does make her look to her fellow Doctor curiously though to see just what the numbers are. Or if he declines to answer.

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym leans against the wall. "Well... I usually operate at 12 foot tall. For a big fight I'll go to 30 or 60 feet and I can usually operate for an hour. For really big fights... the sky is the limit. Literally. A hundred, a thousand. I need prep time and my equipment or I'll risk blacking out, but I grew out of this Universe. In the Oververse... Well I ran into these godlike beings chatting and I got the Hell out fast. But with increased size comes increased strain and I've been doing this for ten years... I'm not as good at it as some. I used to go from a half inch to twelve foot in a tenth of a second. I can still do one or the other but not both. My early gear wasn't that good and I damaged myself. I used to... I was awesome." He blushes. "Sorry. forget that last part."

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein smirks a bit at the blush and says "I have went up to 30 foot or so myself so far, but as I said my powers are inmate, I'm technically a mutant I believe. I wonder if my powers work differently than yours and how they would mix to be honest. Instead of shrinking, I can cause myself to go out of phase with things.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan listens quietly to the two of them talk on what sizes they have gotten to as she sips her coffee. She gives a little look to each of them and there is a nod as something is said, but her thoughts are kept to herself. "Hopefully we'll stay away from growing into other universes." she states quietly.

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym looks over to Morrigan. "Poor Doctor MacIntyre... This is a very stereotypical male conversation... do you grow doc? How big? Listen Mr. Rothstein... hate that you brought this up with me when I have to think of my next physics 101 class but we can certainly do some research. One thing..." He gets a very serious look in his eyes.

"I have a beautiful, brilliant daughter. Stay away from her!"

"She'd have you on a lab table with probes all over you in under a minute," the facade cracks and he smirks.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein 's brow raises a bit at this and says "Well not the normal warning one would expect with the whole stay away from my daughter talk." He chuckles a bit to this "I will keep that in mind."

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan gives a laugh at that, "I'm an adult, Doctor Pym." she gives a look to him. She was! "Just sad that I can't add a few inches to my legs during the summer all of the sudden." she adds with an amused sigh. Then Hank is telling Albert that he has a daughter and to stay away from her. Which leaves Morrigan a bit baffled. That is until he follows it up with his daughters side of things. "Oh no." she chuckles.

Michael appears in the doorway, being tall and blonde and norse looking like he always is, "Doctor MacIntyre, you have a call from Mount Sinai." he is short and sweet about things before he disappears from the door again. Morrigan gives a look between Albert and Hank, an apologetic smile offered, "Gentlemen I will leave you to the size debate. As sad as I am that I'll miss the rest." she tells them. Then she's heading off in a bit of a hurry to take her call.

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym waves as Dr. MacIntyre leaves then looks to Albert. "We weren't debating... we were comparing... wait... let's go with debating." He pats Mr. Rothstein on the shoulder.
