Carter opened the doors to the dorm building with little interruption. He was a little late to the party seeing as while walking through the building he could see most other students were already settled in. Classes officially started today but he didn't really have any Monday classes so he thought to delay this as long as possible after all he was now paying for everything himself. It wasn't that his parents did love him or anything they just thought this was stupid and refused to help pay for this until he broke and went for a real degree. It didn't take him long to find the room that was his... and someone else's of course. He had no idea who his roommate was. He wasn't one for social media so he didn't really try hard to learn about who he was rooming with. Why ruin the surprise?
It wasn't surprising seeing as there were very few people bustling around at this time. It was around noon after all so most were probably in class or at lunch so it was the perfect time to slip on campus with his few bags. With his key in hand he unlocked the door to his new room to see his roommates stuff already there. Well he didn't really have a choice on bed now being the second person to come. It was expected. Oh well. He quickly got to work unpacking. It didn't take him very long as he didn't really bring a lot... just the essentials; clothes, laptop, comics, Nintendo DS and stuff like that.
After all that unpacking was halfway done he decided he deserved a break. Then it was just him... his Nintendo DS... and the wonderful silence that encompassed game play. The small boy bounced down towards the newly made bed in his sneakers and with a small creak he sat down on the rather uncomfortable mattress. Or maybe he'd go walk around? That sounded like a good plan. So DS in pocket (to collect mii's of course) he bounded out the dorm building towards the different areas of the school. This place was nice... and he looked so awestruck as he walked around like a tourist. Of course it didn't take very long for him to get lost on the large campus. notes ?! N/A words ?! 402 tags ?!

The day was in full swing at the Uni; the mezzanine was lightly populated as most were either in class or off-campus enjoying a short lunch. For him, the school bell as it were rang a few minutes ago, unleashing himself and a few others from their respective classes to flood the campus halls, none moreso than a certain rapidly moving student currently making his way to the eatery to get some food.
Taking the ‘long way’-from his point of view-took him through a section of campus he usually didn’t tread through, his classes being on the other side of school, and thus he glanced around to gain his bearings as he sped through the campus. However, high-speeding and peeking around didn’t always mesh well; at that speed, taking your eye off the road for a second can end badly.
Looking forwards once again, the sight of a stunned looking kid fills his view. ”Look out!”
He shouted as he dashed towards the kid; at this speed, it was unlikely he’d miss him unless a miracle occurred…

Carter was standing there for a few seconds before something strange happened. Then again with how full of super powered young adults this campus was he shouldn't be surprised when the 'unexpected' happens. He heard someone shout for him to get out of the way. Instinct kicked in before he even saw what was no doubt the blur of another young man hurtling towards himself. He felt the familiar feeling in his stomach that came with his displacement in space when teleporting on instinct just a few feet to his left.
For about 5 seconds there was two of him. A mirage or after image if you will that seemed to happen with his powers. It was uncertain if the boy could slow down enough to avoid this phantom image of Carter or would just zip right through it like a ghost. That was where his code name had come from. That haunting afterimage of himself that came with his teleporting.
The young man moved out of his stupor and into panic mode. What just happened? Emerald eyes moved towards the blur that was moving towards where he once was. Was the kid going to be okay or would he stop? This was such a weird thing. How should he move forward? Well at least thus far he hadn't been smacked at full speed by a speedster... at least he was assuming by the... well you know super speed. notes ?! N/A words ?! A NUMBER tags ?! SPEEDBURST credit ?!

From Q’s perspective, the image of the guy grew closer by the nanosecond and he knew there was no way to avoid hitting them. This was a Speedster’s worst fear, aside from losing their powers and being stuck in slow-mo; hitting or running into someone and harming them, and for Quentin it seemed that fear was to be realized in the next few moments.
So, quite naturally, when she dashed straight through the guy like he wasn’t even there…
”What the…?” He skid to a stop a foot behind where the guy he thought he was going to run into stood, looking at the spot the man was with a puzzled eye before he turned to look the kid in the face moments later. He was sure that guy was right in his path, and he hit him…didn’t he? He held his gaze on the kid a moment before he spoke. ”Uh…how…what?”
Not sure how to express his uncertainty, it would be the kid’s job to infer what he meant by stuttering.

Carter watched as the speedster slammed through nothing... or at least thought he did for a split second before passing through the after image that had been left via his teleportation. He assumed the other male tried to veer away and warn him out of the way still in those seconds before he had braced for contact only for there to be none. For someone who knows Carters ability this can be kind of funny... to others... not so much. Especially as the image vanished away like it did right now. It was like nothing was ever there... not even the air disturbed.
"Are you okay?" the teen asked with an unsure glance at the guy who had pretty much just about run him over. With a tilt of his head he walked closer to his fellow student with a concerned and mildly confused look on his face. "Oh... right... um... teleporter," he said pointing to himself.
There was an awkward silence that befell Carter after that. He really didn't have anything to say. He had completely forgotten being lost and the adrenaline of almost getting run over was still pumping through his veins. He could hear the thump of his heartbeat through his ears. This was what it was like to be alive after danger. This is what heroing felt like... at least a little bit. There was no satisfaction of doing good after like with heroing... or so he assumed. notes ?! N/A words ?! idk tags ?! Speedy credit ?! REAL SLIM SHADY !? @ Caution 2.0

"Ah! Dude, for a second there I thought maybe I just vaporized ya!" Q chuckled at the silliness of his previous fear but, hey, this was Mutant University! Who knew what powers a guy had and how his would affect theirs. And, speaking of powers. "...Teleporter, eh? Hm, you must get around pretty fast then... but not really. I mean, yea, 'porting is ok I guess... but NOTHING beats getting around the stylish way!" And with that Quentin took off, blurred out of sight only to return mere seconds later, sporting a recently opened can of Redbull.
He sipped the carbonated brew and burped.
"Now that's swift, baby!" Oh, lawd...could he BE any cornier!? Smirking at the kid, he then noticed he looked a bit befuddled somehow; what was up? "Hey, dude, you look like your spaceship left without ya; what's your boggle, broski?" He asked, folding his arms and shifting his weight to one side.

The other kid had thought the worst. Of course he did. Who wouldn't when someone just poofed without looking like they... well poofed. Boy could this kid talk though. He talked super fast and Carter was certain he was only getting half of the conversation. Though from the sound of it this kid was holding one up all by himself so his input didn't seem to be needed that much.
"I guess? It's nice for running late..." he trailed off as the other male continued pretty much talking to himself. What a weird kid. Well at this school nothing really surprised him anymore. The young man blurred out of sight for just a second before he was back with... an energy drink? This kid did NOT need one of those. Like... ever. He was more energetic right now than Carter would be for his entire life put together. This kid needed like a chill pill or something.
"What's up my who what?" the green haired male asked confused. He really didn't seem to speak speedster. Was there a class or Rosetta Stone for that? He made a mental note to check Tumblr for that later. No doubt there would be some funny mock-ups there for something like that. And cats. Cats always made him feel good... because... well cats. Who didn't like cats? Terrorists. notes ?! N/A words ?! idk tags ?! Speedy credit ?! REAL SLIM SHADY !? @ Caution 2.0
