Aurum had awoken from a painful sleep. His mind was in turmoil and clouded as he sat up. His hulking body covered in perspiration as he began to inhale and exhale deeply. His hand touching his Bionic eye that was the only thing he had left that still had some uses. Though needed much repairs over time. Sitting up and tossing his blanket aside as the white sheet landed on the ground. His body encased in a black body suit as he looked as his hands. Then he stood up. His body having round silver objects on joins as he rolled his shoulders in an attempt to stretch as he walked out of his bedroom, looking around at his hallowed ground away from it all. To be by himself.

He stood infront of his armor that stood almost a broken mess as he placed his hand on the glass that encased it. Only seeing his failures as a justicar. Though he lived. That was good enough for him. He could hear his teeth clench as something came in through a mail slot in a door. He grabbed it.. Noticing that it was for him. From the headmistress? He blinked a few times as he opened it. Reading through it slowly.

Then double checking.

He was being placed into taking care of two girls!? And possibly a third!? He looked around his room as two more door appeared inside. His spacious room had grown slightly. What was a nice looking living room with a kitchenette that had enough space for him was a little bigger. And two bedrooms? He opened them both, seeing that both had a bed, some little cute things as he tried to find out what was going on. On each queen sized bed had nice pillows as well as nice blankets from what he say. Which did not match Aurum's tastes at all. With dressers and a closet in each with a carpeted floors as he closed the doors as he sat down and sighed. His eyes on the door. Awaiting for someone to know as he spoke to himself.

"Well.. Seems all silence is doomed to end at some point. Whether the flare of combat or the comfort of others.."

He said as he got up to make tea. Putting on a shirt and a pair of pants to hide some of the things that was his from the unexpected company. Little did he know that they would change his life..

After some time of waiting the tea was made and he made a cup for himself and sat in his living room. No TV. Just a lot of books as well as a tablet that was made for his size. almot the size of a good Computer monitor. Taking his time as he heard small knocks on the door.

A loud gulp came from him as he used his mind to turn the handle. Standing up from his sitting position.

"Please, forgive the mess.. My name is Aurum Hyperion.. I assume that I shall be the one who takes care of you both for the time being." He said. Noticing his place was spotless though it was as if it felt dirty. as he quickly tinted the glass of his armor so no one could see it. The place looked relatively gothic for a living room. Seemed a little dark. Yet.. Holy. To Aurums cold exterior of the muscular man that stood a few feet away from the door to give the young some room.

It had been something that she'd thought about, putting herself up for adoption.

Unfortunately, Aeon felt she was just slightly too old to be an appealing prospect for the starry eyed young couples hoping to make a difference in a child's life. She was pretty much legally an adult, for one, and for another there were no soft glimmers of innocent hope to draw them to her. So she ultimately dropped the idea almost immediately after the notices went out that they were picking Academy parents for the rest of her schooling career, not too hopeful for anything really good to come of this.

That was, until she got another letter saying that she'd been paired up with a faculty member--Aurum Hyperion.

Almost as soon as she read the letter, her apartment was packed up, and she was moving.

The soft knock on the door was the sound of her own unsure knuckles tap-tap-tapping. Beside her was a sizable suitcase that contained all her clothes and a small trunk with all her books and most of her plushies. On top of that was a large carnivorous looking plant, with a Cthulhu plushie made by hand resting in the crook of her arm. Would Aurum like her? Would he be on board with being her faculty dad? How would he act? She shivered. She was scared.

When the door opened, she peered inside and was.... shocked, at the bulk of the man.

She was wearing an over-sized, breezy sweater that hung slightly off her shoulder and long loose pants. Her hair was free flowing and out as she examined the somewhat dark decor of her new home. She had gotten used to the general brightness of her old apartment, but this dark regality reminded her of her forest home. She cleared her throat as she walked in, holding on to her Cthulhu as she pulled in her suitcase.

"Hello Mr. Aurum," she said, her voice flat and almost unemotive. There was a quaver of uncertainty that she knew was there, but hoped he wouldn't notice. But of course he would. "My name is Aeon Gunner.... Thanks for having me."

She glanced over her shoulder to where the other girl was supposed to be.

Honey was incredibly small, she knew she would never grow. It was highly unlikely that she would ever get to ride a roller coaster unless she cheated. She was pretty sure that it was impossible to make her grow anymore. She was told that, she was going to have a father. She was incredibly excited. Excited to the point were she couldn't sit still, well stand sti to be more precice. Which was why she was floating as a two foot poptart as the door opened. Then she saw the biggest guy she ever saw and changed back to herself. "WOAH!"

She walked in after the girl and looked around, there waa something weird about the apartment thing but that was okay. She didnt notice as she bounced around. "My name is Honey, I don't have a last name." The preteen was beyond stooked to have a a family, it was going to be so fun.

Aurum was a bit.. Awkward to say the least. He gave them both a slight bow as he closed his eyes and then pointed at the two doors to his left along a long wall. "There are two rooms hopefully suited to your needs. Drop you things off and get comfortable.. Then come see me." He said moving over to what looked like to be just a glass shelf that you could not see into. Aurum knew what was in it but would do his best to keep it from the kids.

"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance Aeon and Honey. I hope this place is suitable as a living environment for those as young as yourselves." Almost forgetting that Aeon looked around 19-21ish.. And Honey looking.... 10? Maybe? Though Aurum was about a hundred times their ages. He didn't look a day past the days of a middle aged man.. Who took steroids. Even if what he had was natural.

"Should you require anything please let me know. If you have questions please ask.." He said rubbing his chin. Though Honey did not have a last name.. Would that mean that because he is technically her 'School dad' Her last name would be Hyperion?

He said rubbing his chin giving it some thought.

Aeon followed the direction of his arm and nodded to him pulling her suitcase into the room that was ever so slightly further from the entrance, seeing an already slightly furnished space--it was a nice light color, with a bed decorated with a comforter and pillows. There was an empty bookcase that her trunk of books would fill up easily, along with a dresser and an empty desk. She didn't really have any electronics aside from her laptop, which was an old cheap thing she'd gotten refurbished and that seemed to growl every time she tried to even access the Control Panel.

She pushed her suitcase against the wall and set Cthulhu on her bed, going back out and pushing her trunk back into the room she'd claimed as her own, setting the potted plant in a place where it would get a very nice amount of sun.

For a moment, she sat on her bed. It was a nice bed, and she took a moment to look over the somewhat generic trinkets that decorated the room and made it feel ever so slightly lived in. Empty picture frames, jars filled with something that seemed to shimmer and glitter, and wooden letters A -Z hanging from the wall, clearly there for her to spell her name and personalize the space.

The unicorn took off her shoes and, padding around in only her socks, walked back out to the living area where Aurum stood waiting.

Honey dragged her things to the room that wasn't claimed. She was going through the things she could do to it to make it feel awesome. She was used to a lab, with white walls and a stupid hard bed. She supposed it was way homier, she would have to put up some posters or something. She left the two suitcases on her bed and skipped out to go see the person who was supposed to be her school dad. She wasn't even sure how that worked but it she was sure it was just to make sure that the kids were safe. After all it would be horrible, to leave a twelve year old all by herself.

Honey had taken out her hair and taken off her shoes and socks, her toes wiggling as she came to a stop. "Sooooo" She said since the girl hadn't started to talk. Maybe she was a bit too hyper for the man, after all she was on a constant sugar high. She was half poptart...she had pure sugar in her bloodstream. It was kind of interesting, if she was being honest. At least they weren't running test on her.

Aurum had kept his room closed. To hide weapons as well as other things that were sacred to him. So he just awaited for them to come out from their rooms as he sat back down and took a large drink of his tea. His eyes betraying his body in his mind set as they both came out.

"So...." He said awkwardly. He felt like the tension in the room was so visible he could cut it with my knife as he looked between Honey and Aeon. "Any hobbies?" He said inquisitively. Trying to find something to talk about.

It was apparent that Aurum wasn't used to dealing with people. Let alone kids. It was evident on his face he wasn't sure on what to do. What to say as my pulled his cup to his mouth to take another drink of his now warm tea.

@"Dalamadur" @"mariosaur" I'm so sorry this post took me so long. TT.TT

Aeon pulled her door a little closer to closed as she stepped out into the main area, giving what was apparently going to be her new home a once over. She saw another closed door--probably this big man's bedroom, and then saw Honey bounce out of her room again. Something about this felt so odd. So surreal, like she couldn't believe this was something that was actually, really, definitely happening to her.

She'd.... been adopted.

A deep breath. She would have to make some conversation with the man who was basically her adopted father. There was no avoiding it. Aeon did take some small comfort in the fact that Aurum seemed to be just awkward about the whole thing as she was.

So there was that.

"I... I study plants," she said softly. "I read a lot of books. My favorite is Anne Rice."
