<div style="text-align: left;"><strong>  Xavier White, 'Paladin'</strong></div><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee80/KaiStormwind/RP/justin-timberlake-808095024_zps7a229425.jpg)</div>"Yep, I'm the one with the suit. Nice to meet you, High Voltage." Xavier shut the fridge closed. There was a good selection of food in there, but he wasn't really hungry yet. "Reception's great." Xavier smiled. "Well, it does have satellite radio and it can make calls too! Most importantly, it has a selection of movies to watch for long flights." Xavier noted the Merry Prankster's eyes following one of the other contestants as she walked by. He couldn't quite remember what her name was, but he could concur with Merry Prankster...she was clearly attractive. The Merry Prankster herself was attractive, though perhaps her makeup might put some off. Ah wait. He remembered. That was Downpour passing by earlier. Hydrokinesis or something like that, if he remembered correctly.<br/><br/>Xavier nodded back when Rho introduced himself before excusing himself to join the growing crowd at the pool. Well, he wasn't going to be cooking or eating and he'd done some preliminary introductions with those in the kitchen, so Xavier saw not much reason to hang around in the kitchen any longer and promptly decided he'd follow Rho over to the pool. Not to swim though, just find a chair to sit and recline back on. Just relax for a bit. No reason why he couldn't make an introduction while he was dry and not in the pool. Maybe he'd get to see a few displays of their powers. Lacking any powers of his own, he always found most displays of powers quite interesting to watch. Xavier opened the fridge again and picked out a bottle of grape flavored sports drink, skipping the alcohol entirely. "You'll have to excuse me. I'm going to go head on to the pool as well. Though not to swim. Either of you coming?" And he felt the need to slip in something extra for the Merry Prankster. "I'm pretty sure I saw Downpour head to the pool in a tiny blue bikini..." Xavier chuckled as he waved goodbye to Merry Prankster and High Voltage, heading over to the pool.<br/><br/>When Xavier got to the pool, he settled down in a deck chair close to where they were gathered in the pool. Interestingly, he recognised all five of the contestants in the pool. Rho, who introduced himself earlier, Shockwave, Dragon's Ire, Thorn and Downpour. Xavier felt a little out of place when he realised that they were all Class As freely using their powers while not only was he the oldest there (if not by many years), but also the only powerless person there. The only Class B. Then again, not many Class Bs managed to make it to the final twenty. Something Xavier took pride in. Still, it felt a little awkward that he was almost like a normal person among heroes. He<em>could</em>call his suit to him using his EV Chip, but he obviously had no real reason to, unless he wanted to prove he felt inferior by showing off the suit...at the pool. No. Best to just keep calm and carry on. Introductions first. he didn't know how many of them could recognize him without the suit, so those were definitely in order.<br/><br/>"Hey all. Paladin here. Real pleasure to see you all." Xavier laughed as he eyed the small camera drones hovering above the pool filming them and then at the lovely ladies in the pool. They were certainly bold. Not wearing much...or not wearing anything at all, and all in front of the billions watching. Well, Xavier didn't mind, letting his eyes wander over all three of Downpour, Thorn and Shockwave. A real pleasure to see them indeed. Xavier opened up his sports drink and took a swig to clear a couple of naughty thoughts that popped up in his mind. "Hope I don't scare you, now that you've seen me outside my suit." He added with a chuckle.<br/>
