I'm Natsu. Nice to meet you, Mister Lee.

[Grinning, he more than happily accepts Lee's hand, practically jumping to his feet with renewed vitality. Unable to contain himself, he starts to look about wildly, taking in a much of the place as he could. It was bigger and a lot more civilized than he imagined...]

Is this really a place for people with strange powers?

[vaudevil]

A pleasure to meet you, Natsu.

[Natsu's exuberance makes Lee smile. If only Lee could speak for everyone, he makes an outstanding first impression. What lies behind the doors is something completely different.]

That is correct. We each possess gifts, even the teachers. I am one of many that has special abilities. We take pride in our powers here.

[firedragonslayer]

[Natsu had only ever been exposed to handful of other mutants and having learned that every resident he would meet from the point on would be different, just like him, was a rather thrilling thought. Without taking a second to consider how forward he might have sounded, Natsu blurts out the first question that popped into his mind, his attention fixed on Lee for the moment.]

Really!? What can you do?

[vaudevil]

[Lee laughs now. He's encountered many students that were curious and since his powers were often not left to explanation, he decided to go with it.]

I can heal rapidly and I can become invisible. It's not much, really.

[He's not going to tell that his aging stopped when he turned 27 and he's pushing 50 now.]

[firedragonslayer]

[If Lee had thought this simple explanation wasn't all that impressive, the expression of disbelief alone would have proven him wrong.]

Huh!? What are you talking about? Being invisible and healing yourself? I bet you kick all kinds of ass with those powers.

[vaudevil]

[Kicking ass was a serious understatement. He is a lot more than just a teacher. He's also the X-Men's spy and infiltration operative. His skills are many and explaining all of that often made others feel second rate.]

I hadn't really thought of that. I teach music here and it happens to be one of my passions.

[He's certainly being humble about it though.]

[firedragonslayer]

[He had already started thinking about what it would be like to fight with Lee the moment he heard his abilities. Part of him was even on the brink of asking the teacher to try going a few rounds but, a more pressing question popped into Natsu's mind. One he felt required an immediate answer above all others--]

Do you teach music while being invisible?

[vaudevil]

[Lee lifts his finger with a chuckle.]

Only on April Fool's Day.

[Fighting with Lee has been a challenge for many, even the X-Men. He certainly isn't an easy opponent. His brother, who isn't here on the campus, is far worse and merciless.]

[firedragonslayer]

[Well, one could hardly keep themselves from laughing when picturing a bunch of floating instruments playing themselves as an entire classroom flipped their shit. It was highly amusing for Natsu, anyway.]

Heheh... This place sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun already.

[vaudevil]

Excellent!
