Sean got up and followed, "So why do kids with powers come here? Are there other academy's like this?" he asked.
He looked around as they walked.

"Just to practice their powers. Or as a safe haven from everywhere else. No one has to hide what they are. There's a barrier around the school, so nothing bad can get close to even the doors." he explained, following after Siren. She had released his arm.
Siren walked backwards as they headed to the pool. She looked at Grimm as he responded to Sean.

"Oh" Sean said. "When I was in class I heard something about labs?" he commented. "Are those bad?" he asked.

"Labs? What do you mean?" Grimm asked, looking at Sean. Siren watched Sean, thinking.
"I actually haven't heard much about those lately. But, yes. The government takes students away, and experiments on them in labs. Although, they make humans mutants by experimenting and trying to make them powerful to try and make the 'perfect creature'." she responded.
Grimm looked at Siren, he was unaware about this.

"Never mind that might have been about some other place" Sean shook his head. "I heard 'labs' and thought it was here"
"Wait, perfect creatures? What do you mean?" he asked.

"Well, it might be true. I've just never heard it." he responded to Sean as he shook his head. They arrived at the pool, and Grimm stopped. He watched Siren dive into the pool, she came back up, smiling.
Siren swam around. "Perfect creatures, as in perfect humans. They think that if they modify humans, they can make sure no one bothers the human population. And kill anyone who doesn't like it."

"No offence, but I find that to be very stupid" Sean said and put his feet in the water. "I don't see why they have to experiment of people like us" he shook his head and looked at the water.

"I completely agree with that. It's not like they are going to accomplish anything. So far, they're doing a horrible job of anything." Siren said, swimming up to him. Her pretty lashes blinked. She sighed, thinking.
Grimm lay on his stomach, letting his hand move in the water.

Sean took a breath and went under water, sitting on the pool floor, seeing how long he could hold his breath. About five minutes later, he came up for air and ran his hand through his hair.

Siren had watched him do so. "That was pretty good." she commented. Her curiosity grew, and her head tilted. "What is your power, anyways?" she questioned quizzically. Her feet moved in the pool, her arms folded on the outside of the pool.
Grimm lay his head on his arm, letting the other move in the water. He watched Sean, smiling lightly. "Always been able to stay under so long?" he asked.

"Thanks" Sean said. He looked at both Siren and Grimm, "I can control weapons" he told them. "And no I've been practicing. I used to be on the swim team at my old school, lost my touch since I left" he added.

"Why don't you join this schools?" Grimm asked him. "That's an interesting power. Are you good with your power?" Grimm asked him, making conversation. Since he was moving his hand in the water, Sean could see the moon like tattoo on his wrist. It was black at the moment. The one on his other wrist was hidden as he leaned his head against his arm.
Siren grinned. "More interesting than yours?" she teased lightly to Grimm. He rolled his copper eyes at her in response. "You like to swim?" she asked Sean. "What was it like at your old school?"

"There's a swim team here?" He said surprised. "Yeah sort of. Try shooting me and I'll turn the gun on you" he added. He looked at the tattoo but didn't say anything. "I love to swin, it helps me think. It was good at school until everybody heard what I did...." He looked down and upset.

"Yeah. Might not play against other schools like human schools do, but it's still good." Grimm said. He had forgotten his mark showed, and so he had not noticed when the black started to turn copper like his eyes. only faintly though, the copper leaked in a corner, as if it leaked from his skin into the mark. Grimm looked at Sean carefully, he asked. "What happened there...?" he cautiously asked.
Siren looked at Sean, she swam over to him a little. "Well, you don't have to worry about us shooting at you. But, what did happen?" she asked nicely, curious too.

"It was at the school but was about my parents" Sean told them. "Mom went to pick me up, dad got there as well. He was pissed so he shot my mom. Everyone was watching. Dad pointed at me and said 'You're just like her! You deserve to burn in hell with her' I was scared I didn't know about my power until that day. I was so scared I only focused on the gun and it started to turn on him, blew his brains out..." He said.

Grimm watched him carefully. This kid seemed quite open. Wish he could be like that. Only a few people even know his real purpose for joining the Council. He watched Sean, and as he finished, he looked at the water. "Oh, well i'm sorry." Grimm spoke honestly to him. The stoic expression and tone were there still, but a tinge of kindness slipped into his voice. He bright copper eyes returned to Sean.
Siren hummed out. "Nehh, well, you came to a good place, this school is safe. I'm sorry about your mother, i think he deserved it though, shooting people like that." Siren commented. She heard the slight emotion enter Grimm's voice, looking at him, then back to Sean.

Sean stayed quiet, looking at the water still. "I came here because the people didn't believe he shot himself. And because I was the only other person at the crime scene, the police think I killed my parents. So they're after me" he said.

Grimm watched Sean. He was not one to comment, since it was Sean's business. His copper eyes examined Sean's body language as he stared at the water. He stopped moving his hand in the water, letting it simply hang in the water. "Came to the right place, then. The outside world is not aloud in here, so the police can't get to you." he told Sean. And frankly, parts of the government and police were controlled by the Council. He didn't say that though.
Siren popped her lips, looking at Sean. She swam over to him, putting a hand on his head gently. "Hey, don't worry about it." she comforted him, her motherly side kicking in.

"It was eight or nine years ago. I was either 8 or 9 when it all happened" Sean said in a lower voice. When Siren put her hand on his head he moved away. He had nothing else to say about the subject.

Grimm sat up, on his knees. He took his hand out of the water, putting his hands on his legs. He cocked his head slightly, looking at Siren. He sighed, his lids closing just slightly, he looked at Sean. "Well, as hard as it might be, you just have to move on. What happened isn't your fault, you didn't even know you could do that." he said, emotion gone from his voice.
Siren closed her fist as he moved away, pulling her hand to her chest. She blew out air, not knowing what to say. Her eyes turned to Grimm as he spoke to Sean. "I agree." she responded, looking at Sean.
