James meandered about the lunch room, picking up a few items at leisure, a apple here, piece of pizza there, ya know the essentials. When he was finally done he found himself a seat at the large dining hall table and began to eat.
Lunch somehow always proved to be a quiet somber affair for some reason. No one ever seemed to be around, maybe it was just because it was summer, or maybe it was because these students were generally antisocial(?) whatever the case James normally found himself eating alone in silence with only a few scant students around hovering around the edges of the room, always preoccupied with one thing or another. James didn't mind he guessed, it just was getting rather tiresome at this point. Alice was asleep, or otherwise she wanted to be, and no one else really gave him any time of day. He was a nonentity, not that he minded that so much either, these were just highschoolers after all, they weren't the type of group James was dying to hang out with. He watched them run around in their little clicks in their own little world, and he thought it was cute, he was fine eating here alone, always the observer.

Luke wandered into the Lunchroom with glee ♫lunch time, ♫lunch time, I don't know any songs about ♫lunch time. Luke wandered over to the counter picking a large meal of Chicken Carrots, French fries, Milk, and an Apple. He missed dinner yesterday so he was a bit hungry. Upon receiving his meal Luke placed the apple in his pocket as a snack for later.
Out of the corner of his eye Luke spotted his brother eating. What's he doing here, oh yeah he was at the incident a few weeks ago and he's a mutant... Sigh I might as well deal with this sooner than later.
Luke started thinking while walking across the room toward his brother. I actually haven't seen my brother since the first incident I was in. So I've been in roughly 3 shocking incidents since he was gone. He probably remembers me as a stupid class clown. Him and mom never really got along but to be honest I'm freaking out, and being pessimistic at the moment. What if all those things mom says about him come true. Luke barely kept himself from bursting out into laughter. Me and James always got along well together, much like best friends. Of course family dynamics always got in the way. I was the favorite and by law, and true or not, he was the devil in mom's eyes, for no reason, except he reminded her of dad. Hopefully he doesn't hold anything against me.
Luke sat down across from James. I'd rather not start this conversation in a slow quiet and awkward manner, so I'll take the more familiar approach. Hey James How's It Going! Luke Looked at him with an enthused face and wide open eyes, placing down his lunch tray and staring at him.

James looked at him with a mixture of amusement and disgust:
"You're an idiot, Sit down."
This was a fairly typical exchange of greetings for the two. Luke acted like a wide eyed idiot...and James called him on it. Not with any real malice, or ill intent just playful jabbing.
Luke, sat there and looked at him silently with a wide eyed stare as if he could not believe what he was seeing. He was essentially starstruck by Jame's apparent existence...either that, or he was simply staring at him to be a jerk. Either way it was annoying.
"Will you stop being stupid and talk to me for a second?"James complained, half annoyed, and half amused as a smile crept across his face. Luke simply nodded mutely in response clearly doing this just to egg James on.
"Whatever, listen, you have to tell me what happened. I found out that you had powers from mom, and you know how reliable she can be, and when I looked up the incident online the reports were all over the place. I can only guess at the truth. So what really happened at school that day? You know when you caused a riot and stuff?"

Luke was satisfied and ready to reply. Obviously acting in a familiar manner, was the right way to go, it broke the ice quickly, and now they were already at the big questions.Alright I'll tell you, I was staring at the cute girl in class... Moving on, Suddenly a copy appeared of the girl, some guys punched the copy, she felt like her nose was broken. Mirrors of everyone randomly flashed on and off everywhere I went. Mass panic broke out as people were punching copies and originals, in confusion. I ran to the Exit, while a copy of myself was following me. Of course when I left most of the copies disappeared. The authorities took a statement. Then the school discovered me and I left that was it. No one died no one got much more than mild injuries. Mom didn't ask too many questions toured the school with me and I decided to go here. Luke told this story as he had mentally rehearsed it. This only happened recently for me, what's the story behind your light powers, and what have you been up to the past few years? *Munch Munch* I haven't heard much from you since you left. Mom just said you were a lazy bum. Luke rolled his eyes.

James looked at him for a moment, not sure if he was satisfied with the answer or not. For one, according to the news reports, this incident induced a mass panic and a giant riot within the school, which caused at least part of the school to be burnt down. There was a lot of other things implied in the reports that weren't directly stated as facts. So where did the news sensationalism end, and the real truth begin, to be honest it was hard to tell. If James had to guess, he would say that the actual truth lied somewhere in between Luke's rehearsed story and the stories reported on the news, but he supposed that that wasn't the important thing right now.
"Me? well I was working at a health food grocery store, and a gas station at one point, and a convince store. Wasn't really doing anything special for the most part...I'm not one to overuse my powers all that much. I just hung out, played video games,hung out at Barnes and Noble you know...the usual."
"As for my powers, I've had since before you had yours, it was sometime really early on in high school, but I'm not really sure when. It was relatively easy to keep everyone in the dark about it. What can I say? I'm just good at that sort of thing."
