Nathan Stone
Nathan raised an eyebrow, confused by this development.
He continued chewing on his cheeseburger before pushing it outside once he was finished.
"
Okay, it's good to know that it's your body deciding it and not you. I do have to ask, what exactly is Persian food? I never had any."
He took a sip of his lemonade as well.
"
I don't honestly have a favorite food."
Location: Starlight Hospital
Eros and David Amadeo
Eros watched as they brought several meals along with them in the restaurant. It was funny, but he wasn't in the mood for wine or beer and he summoned some ambroisa for himself. Though the food looked delicious, he also had to think about David and what he wanted. He knew that the boy- correction, man, it was hard to not think of David as the son he raised liked sea food.
Eros helped himself to the steaks, knowing he was old enough to serve himself and knowing his nephew.
"
I already have," he replied, as he watched David finally struggle himself awake. " Looks like David is awake."

Maya Brooke
Maya really wished she could understand what was happening with everyone here. It seemed like they had been through something and seemed so confused. She didn't understand why, but then again, her dad had only come back to Starlight City to do the job here, so maybe something happened over the summer that Maya didn't know about. It was more plausible than anything else, since the city had always attracted the strange and unexplainable. She did wonder how David had gotten himself hurt, but if she asked questions, she had a feeling that it would make things so much worse. What was that expression? Ignorance is bliss. Not that Maya could feel bliss being an undine, no emotions until she found a love in her life after all.
Maya had understood that she had to deliver the key to this girl, though it was weird that Matthew had known exactly where she was. If she didn't know Matthew, it would have seemed like a weird request, but knowing the hero meant that he probably knew that she didn't think it was weird. A town full of secrets and missed connections, love and loss, destruction and life. It was funny because Maya had quickly learned that Starlight brought out the worst and best in people. So, knowing that he knew he had to return to a girl, it would make sense he figured out who she was somehow . If she had been here before, it would seem like deja vu, but it wasn't since she never had. She smiled at the girl briefly.
Maya had to laugh a bit. "
Yeah, the sub for Miss Robinson is kind of terrifying and seems to hate her job and everyone who dares to lose their keys. It's like she's mad that we might be making her do her job," Maya replied, still not a trace of emotion in her voice. Maybe one day, she would get some, but it was nice to get to meet her roommate. It wasn't like Matthew could have known that they were going to be roommates and made sure that they had met. Maya simply shrugged. " Stranger things have happened in this town. Time travel and psychics are pretty common around here, I'm surprised that something hadn't happened that accidently made Adam do something dumb," she added, not thinking too much about what she had said. It was easier to be honest and not beat around the bush. " Well, might as well, I'm headed that way anyway." This girl seemed nice enough.
Location: Starlight Library
Joseph Clark
Joseph Clark had found him buried in his latest novel. He was grateful that it was moving day since that meant the library would be quiet and empty. Outside of the one part time employee in the library, nobody else was in here. It was always like this. Tomorrow was the day that the library would be flooded with students locating books for their classes and some even bartering him to buy the book for cheaper than the school's bookstore. It was funny because it didn't take much for him to actually sell them the books since the man had bought an excess of all the books in the library, always replenishing his stock. Well, almost all of his stock. Books that went missing, he only brought enough that he could replace them. So, he wasn't surprised that the whole Fifty Shades and Twilight series was gone, the teenage girls and sometimes teenage boys always seem to "lose" them whenever they borrowed those book in particular. He also was surprised to learn that Adam had hired someone to work part time at the library and he wondered if his replacement had been that bad at their job that it was needed.
Joseph had taken note of what she had been reading and was not one to interrupt someone's reading. He hated it when that happened to him and as he had been reading his book, he had been sorting through his box of extra books to find some other books on mythology for her to read. It seemed like a good idea and sometimes it helped calm him better. Especially since there was the occasion ghost in the library that he would prefer to ignore than acknowledge and let it complain about not saving them. Sometimes being silent was better than trying to help the ghosts move on and get on to the afterlife since some of them were malicious.
Joseph silently slid a stack of books over to Lizette. He did want to ask who her mother was since they shared the last name of Clark and nothing was coincidental in this city, but he didn't and simply went back to reading his book.

Adam Knight
Adam had a vague idea that he was going to have a somewhat mixed result to what he told Kent, but the god didn't honestly care what the boy thought of him. Sometimes people made foolish choices and sometimes those choices were the right ones. He leaned back in his chair, waiting for him to hear what he was going to say to him. He doubted it would be kind. " That sums it up pretty well, though, in all honesty, it probably only affected this city. Even my powers have their limit and if I had done the whole world, then well, I would be much more fatigued than I am already. " I already know that it was incredibly selfish of me, but if I learned anything from my powers, things tend to generally change for the better." He decided to not mention that it was for the better before things became ten times worse than before. " Well, Mr. Freed, you have a unique opportunity."
Adam got up and looked out the window. " You would have been arrested for your stunt that you would do in a few minutes, but by stopping you, a chain of events have changed. So let me phrase it this way, you have a second chance at being in the free world. I would prefer you to not go rogue as it seemed everything started tumbling after that, but also, I believe in second chances, so I'm simply allowing you to be free. Of course, if you do anything stupid, I'll be the first to stop you and well, you will be back in your padded cell, so I would advise choosing wisely."

Ryan and Orion
Ryan noticed that Star had seemed possible by the development and he decided it was easier to explain than most other things. "
Orion was made a few months ago, well, rather, he became a full fledged person a few months ago, so he didn't get to explore the city before. As for me, I learned that the reset often changes things that you think it wouldn't. Sometimes places move and sometimes they disappear altogether. It's strange," he acknowledged.
Orion looked over at Star. " I do know where the school is and can lead you there, Miss Star," he said.

Matthew Harris/ Twiggy
Matthew gave a brief thumbs up back and wasn't surprised that she had gotten there first since he had stopped for some food. He offered a brief smile to her. "
Probably shouldn't have stopped for that food, it would seem if I wanted to win that race here, though to be honest, it's a bit more fun to lose then it is to win. Well, this here is Starlight Academy and... huh-," Matthew paused as he noticed that there was a card reader here now. How strange. He fiddled with his pocket and found a card to put in the reader. The gates swung open. " Well, that is new. But as I was saying..."
He gave a nice dramatic pause. "
Welcome to Starlight Academy."

Steven Lasket
"
Oh, then it is exactly what it looks like then. It's just the looks, though the eyes are still golden in both forms," he replied pausing, before realizing that he hadn't even considered that it was more of a glamor. He had always assumed that it had changed his whole body structure then just part of it. He looked over at her when she tapped on his chest. He was pretty sure that she was tapping on his heart, but it might have been the pecs, wh ocould tell. " I know that, but it is just so complicated..."
He paused before he decided to be honest about. "
It's so hard to go back to who I was because here, I was Steven Lasket, son of Martha Lasket and Steven Lasket Senior, though that was more of an alias. Remember how I mentioned how Iron Man was only the person to break through and get out of Starlight City? What I meant was.. my dad, Anthony Stark was the first person to get out of the city... and he left me behind."
He looked at the syringe and sighed. "
I know that I'm a real Lasket case," he replied, before dropping the syringe. When it dropped on the floor and shattered, so too did the Steven Lasket illusion.
