Kokoro was still bubbly and so joyful to be in America now living with her older cousin, but to be honest, Kokoro got bored of her surroundings very easily. A possible victim of ADD or she just has issues considering that she could never sit through class without starting to twitch from boredom. It was about the early morning when she decided to literally flip out of bed. After taking a morning shower and slipping into a pink jogging suit, Kokoro dashed through the mansion and came tp a screeching halt in front of Shin's office, poking her head through the door.

"GOING ON A MORNING JOG AND POSSIBLY GRABBING SOME BREAKFAST BE BACK IN A FEW HOURS BYE!" she screamed and then sprinted out of the mansion before he could even get a response out. The little asian girl placed the ear buds of her iPod into her and started her jog. Eventually she cam across a building with golden doors.

"Purty..." she said staring blankly at the building. Though for some reason it gave off a creepy vibe. Would she have to be brave and journey through those doors to face whatever dark forces lurked within so that the universe would be spared or...

GrgrgrgRgRGGRGGrGGRRGGRRGRGRRRRRRGRGR!!!!

The japanese teen blinked and placed a hand over her stomach after hearing it's cry for nourishment. Food or defeat evil? It was a tough decision and the fate of the world relied on the right choice.

"...Bacon..." she smiled.

Last night was the first night he had spent away from the Sanctuary. The garage hadn't changed one bit in his several months of absence. Which wasn't necessarily a good thing. He had left the garage in such a mess it was ridiculous. He had cleaned until the early hours of the morning and the downstairs still looked like a train wreck. After several hours of crashing on the futon in the loft Geo woke up to the rather annoying sun shining through one of the windows and into his eyes. Grumbling Geo climbed out of bed, showered quickly and threw on a new pair of jeans and one of his black muscle shirts.

Heading downstairs Geo walked past his Road Runner to the back corner of the garage. There was a large, lump filled cover resting on the back wall and as Geo pulled off the cover he revealed a shiny new motorcycle. A 2010 CVO FAT BOB to be exact. It was painted in pewter earth tones that nearly brought a tear to the earth elemental's eyes. He straddled the chrome beauty and flipped the starting switch and it roared to life. With a quick hit of the garage door switch he was cruising onto the road, faster than necessary of course.

It took him a matter of moments before he was driving down the street towards the Sanctuary. When he got within fifty yards he popped onto the sidewalk, which he thought of as his own personal lane, and approached the Golden Doors. As he grew closer he noticed a girl standing outside the doors. He killed the engine and rolled towards her, pushing on the brakes to come to a halt several feet in front of her. Geo climbed off of his mighty steed and cracked his neck, pulling a smile on his face.

"Hey, can I help you with something?" He asked politely. It had been a while since he played the Orders door man. In fact last time he had it was with a gorgeous water elemental, and that had turned out to be quite the controversy.

As soon as she heard the motorcycle approaching, Kokoro spun around and grinned at the new arrival. She wasn't sure if this guy was pulling for the 'bad ass' look, but that was what he was pulling off and he was doing it very well. She squealed, all with fangirl giddiness. Bike boys were so awesome!

"Um, no, I'm good. I don't know really. I was just passing by and um..." her eyes bounced back and forth between the doors, the guy and the bike."Dude, that bike is so hot!" she ran over to the motorcycle and stared in awe for about 30 seconds, as if her brain had shut down or something. "I've always wanted a bike, but my parents would never get me one because they said I'd try to do stunts like driving off roofs and stuff." she sighed crouching down and rubbing her cheek against the bike. Then she caught sight of her reflection in the chrome and she grinned blowing herself a kiss. "Ah, this thing is definitely hot now that it has me on it. Hehehehe." she glanced at herself for a few more moments and then looked back up at the guy. "Oh yeah, the name is Kokoro. Or Koko, for short. And can I ask who the rider of this might steed is?"

Bubbly, that was the one word Geo would use to describe this girl. She was ridiculously excited over his motorcycle. That wasn't the unusual part, women geeked out over his many amazing vehicles all the time, it was just never to this extent. The girl squealed for gods sake! Geo simply stood back quietly as she examined the bike, sure that she couldn't break something he couldn't fix. He chuckled as she stated the bike looked hotter with her on it. He couldn't argue with that, she was cute and nothing attributed to a bike like a good looking woman. Geo walked over to the opposite side of the bike when she finally snapped out of it and looked up at him, stating her name which Geo quickly replaced with the easier Koko.

"My name is Geo, I live here." He said nodding towards the beautiful golden doors of the Sanctuary. "It's nice to meet you Koko." Geo ran his hand along the pewter gas tank of his motorcycle, he still couldn't get over how shiny and new it was. He couldn't help but wonder how long it would be until he completely destroyed it and had to rebuild it. His record now was two months.

"You have a good taste in bikes. This is the 2010 CVO Fat Bob. Fresh off the line." He gave himself a mental pat on the back for being able to get the bike so soon, it took him months of saving. "These things are hard to control but trust me, I've had my daredevil days on these things too." His last motorcycle had been effectively destroyed during a police chase. If he had just pulled into that corner a moment sooner he wouldn't have wound up going through the display window of that dealer ship.

"Geo...interesting name. Reminds me of Geodude from pokemon, which is sad because I hate Geodudes and Zubats. They're such pests when you're trying to get through a cave and they keep popping up. Ugh," she groaned slamming her head on the bike in frustration, stunned by the hard impact she fell over onto her back staring up at the sky blankly. "...uguuuuuu..." she groaned scrunching her nose and rasing her right arm to rub her forehead. "Ah, thank you. I don't know jack-crap about bikes actually, I just judge them by their outer appearance because I'm admittedly shallow like that. Try not to be the same with people though. Rather have a butt ugly loving friends than a pretty friend who treats me like trash, but that'd never happen because I'd drop kick them in the face and be like 'You must not know 'bout me! Uh uh, sista. You ain't all that and a bag of chips. Where's the dip?"

...

There she went rambling on again. Really bad habit she needed to break.

"HIYA!" she raised her legs and flipped back onto her feet, dusting herself off and smiling back at Geo. "So, this is where you call home? What exactly is home? Doesn't seem like a condo or whatever. Golden gates...this place has diabolical evil scheming going on inside all over it." she smiled. "So be honest, are you evil? Because it'd be a shame to have to slay you cause you're too adorable."

Okay, bubbly was a wrong assumption. Borderline psychotic seemed more accurate now. Despite his name Geo had never once been compared to the pokemon Geodude. From there she magically got into how she judged people by there looks, after she headbutted his freaking bike! Geo instantly checked to make sure she had done no cosmetic damage to the gas tank, which seemed to be sturdy enough to take the hit because there was no dents in the metal. Then he went around the bike again to check the girl who had kicked herself onto her feet.

"Are you psychotic?" Geo asked in all seriousness. This girl was beginning to give him a headache and that was hard because he spent most of his time with his head in roaring engines. He changed the subject to the Sanctuary in an attempt to save his now pounding head.

"No this place is kind of like a homeless center for Mutants. Well more like a safehaven really. Any mutant can come here to get away from trouble." Then the crazy little girl had the audacity to call Geo evil. Granted a lot of people called him evil but in his mind he was the just one. "Evil is an opinion and last I checked I was the good guy."

...Psychotic? Psychotic?! PSYCHOTIC?!

She glowered at the man for asking such a question. A question she had been asked so many times before. Or, she was just told straight up that she was crazy. That she needed help. She belonged in an institution, she was dropped on her head when she was little. That last one hurt the most because...she actually was....but that was besides the point! She remained silent trying to gather her thoughts on what to do...what to say. She could thrash this guy...but then she heard him explain what this place was, but his last statement about evil really got her. Deep breaths.

"The same can be said about being psychotic..." she replied. "That's all people say about me. I don't really know, I guess I am because I get it all the time. I've always been a freak...I never really had that many friends because people thought I was a weirdo and a potential mental patient before they even gave me a chance. I wasn't really serious about you being evil, it was just a joke, ok? And I'm sorry you live in a homeless shelter for mutants. I know how you feel because my parents pretty much kicked me out the house and shipped me to the states because they couldn't handle me trying to get my powers under control. My own cousin was disowned by his parents because he is a mutant and I feel bad about that too because he's really the only person I have over here in this new god awful country full of horrible reality shows, badly drawn cartoons and the poisoned processed foods. He was judged, just like I've been judged my whole life. I'm not psychotic, and I'm not crazy, and I'm not a freak, I just want to accepted for the person I am and I want to be tolerated for what I am because it is unjust to judge another over something they have no control over. Society can just accept me or kick rocks! ARGH!!!!!" she grunted with gritted teeth and shot a concentrated blast of her psionic force to a parked car across the street and putting a serious dent into the driver's side door, making it actually bend inwards.

"People are so mean..." she whimpered while taking a seat back down on the sidewalk. Bringing her knees to her chest and lowering her head, she started to sob softly.

Geo felt back. Sure the girl had smacked her head against his bike. Sure she gave him a headache but that was no excuse for him to be rude and ask her if she was psychotic, which she took very badly. She seemed to go into hysterics, beginning a rant that revealed a few things about her. Her past, how she now lived with her cousin, the fact that she was a mutant, which she demonstrated by crushing a car door across the street in a moment of anger. She was a misunderstood mutant trying to fit in in a strange new world and felt like a freak. When she sat on the sidewalk and began to cry Geo sat next to her, trying to figure out what to say.

"Look," He began, trying to figure out what to say as he went. "I've been in your shoes before, when I first found out about what I was I was scared, confused and misunderstood. The first day my powers manifested I had to leave home because my father tried to beat me to death. I had to start out fresh in a strange new world with no one to rely on but myself and the powers that I couldn't control." Geo placed his bare hand on the cement, the dirt that had gathered on the surface whirled together in a cloud of dust which collected in Geo's hand. He held his palm up and focused the dust, compressed it and slowly it turned into a single, smooth, flawless pebble.

"The first thing you need to learn is that your not alone Koko, there are others who are going through the same thing your going through now." Geo hesitated for a moment before placing his hand gently on the girls back. "This place isn't so much a homeless shelter as it is a family. I have a house but I live here as well. They help people learn how to control they're powers, and teach people who they are."

"...Huh?" she looked back at him, wiping her eyes and killed the water works. Did he really just admit to her what his father did? "Why...that's what I'm talking about! How can someone beat their own son over anything...it's horrible...." she sniffled a bit and took in a slow breath and exhaled to calm herself a bit more. She knew she wasn't alone...and she knew that there were people worse off than herself. People like Geo who had to deal with monsters are their parents. At least hers only shipped her off so she wouldn't jack up the house insurance bill. They'd never land on her, she knew that.

"Family and they help you control your powers? Are they in association with the X-mansion? That's where my cousin works..." she sighed. "But this place has caught my interest also..."

The girl seemed surprised that Geo revealed part of his past but he had no problem doing it to show that they were kindred spirits. He wished he had had someone to relate to when he was first getting used to what he was. "Some humans just don't accept us for who we are, for what we are. Your special and they can't accept that."

Koko asked if the sanctuary was affiliated with the X-mansion and Geo turned away to hopefully wince unnoticed before turning back to the girl. She was more like him than he thought. He had first gone to the X-men when he came to New York, and she was related to one of the staff members there. "No, we aren't affiliated with them. In fact we kind of oppose them. They want to let humanity step all over us when we're trying to stand up and show humans what we are." Geo bounced the pebble in his hand several times before holding it out for Koko to take. The rock was shiny, smooth and had pretty red swirls on it. A good trinket that seemed like something a girl like Koko would like. "We are the ones who are trying to make it so that people like you and me don't have to hide what we are."

Oh, great. Opposition with the mansion. So, that means that technically she was on enemy grounds. If he was the enemy, he didn't really seem like it. Yeah, he was a jerk for calling her crazy but, now he seemed like he was trying to make her feel better. From what he was saying, she could relate. She smiled looking down at the pebble he created. Earth elemental....Geo....it made sense now. It was rather pretty so when he offered it to her, she took it, bringing it up to her eye level to gaze at it more.

"This is pretty. Thank you." she said pocketing the rock into her hoodie. "From the impression I get, they just want humans and mutants to co-exist equally. Though the way I see it, I don't think there will ever be peace. Humans fight with Mutants, mutants fight with humans, heck, the two species fight within themselves. I kind of agree with the mansion's arguments and yours. But really, I just want to be happy and live a good life." she shrugged.

When she accepted the pebble Geo smiled, taking it somewhat as a sign of forgiveness. It always felt nice to be able to cheer someone up after saying or doing something stupid to offend them. "Your welcome. It's a little trick I learned on a road trip I took recently. I can separate the minerals and make all kinds of cool designs." Geo had figured that his power was focused on anger but when he mixed it with peaceful thoughts he was able to gain an almost molecular level of focus, even though it was on a small scale.

"There is no way that mutants and humans would be able to coexist peacefully. There will always be turmoil. That's what happens with evolution, we're the next step and they won't accept it." Geo glanced over his shoulder at the golden doors before pushing off of his knees into a stand. "Here, how about I take you to breakfast and we'll talk about it. I don't know about you but I'm famished." He held out his hand to help the girl up from her spot on the sidewalk.

"Hm...you know, while the X-men might think that they can, I'm afraid that I might actually agree with you, Geo." she said as her hand clasped onto his for support to pull herself up off of the ground. "I mean, humans don't even accept themselves. There's still racism and sexism and all those isms going on these days. I'm not surprised that they don't care for mutants either." she shrugged releasing his hand and dusting herself off. When he offered breakfast, something sparked in her and her eyes grew wide and bright. Like whatever deity in the sky answered her prayers. She was hungry but...

"What's the catch?" she asked in a blunt manner. "Momma didn't raise no fool. I don't exactly go off with a person I've just met. For all I know you could be some kind of weirdo who collects human skin or a cannibal...." she raised a suspicious eye at the earth elemental.

GrgrgrgRgRGGRGGrGGRRGGRR.

"Then again, my stomach doesn't really care, as long as it gets some food. If I die, at least I'll die happy and full? Hehe.."

Geo chuckled at when the girl asked what the catch was, even going so far as to accuse him of cannibalism. "No catch, I swear." He said holding his hand over his heart. "Here, we can even eat in the cafeteria at the sanctuary if that'd make you feel more comfortable." He jabbed his thumb in the direction of the golden doors.

"They have some decent food there, but nothing compasres to Molly's diner down the street here." He pointed at a small pink and white sign down the street, barely visable.

"I promise I'm not a canable, and collecting human skin isn't my thing." He couldn't help but smile. Okay maybe she wasn't psychotic, just a little bit hyper.
