Hinata smiled a tiny sad smile. "I bet..." she said. Hinata wished she could remember her mom. Her mom had died shortly after Hanabi was born, so Hinata really did not remember her

You stand outside your dorm room, curious, cautious....
....wondering what will happen when you open those doors.
You tell yourself to stop worrying, to stop stalling and just do it....but nerves get the better of you, and for a moment, you allow your spider-sense to check for any possible foes.
You wait.
But nothing happens.
you should be thrilled about this....but you're not. You're not because now, you have no more excuses to prevent you from opening those doors.
From going inside and seeing just who your new "Dorm-mates" will be.
Come on, Mayday! you almost beg with yourself, using your old nickname from your days on the b-ball court, You've fought a symbiote, goblins....even your own father! This should be nothing for you!
Oh but it isn't....and you wish your common sense would realize this. Life or death battles didn't hold a candle to the horrors of teenage life.
Yet....somehow....you find yourself reaching for the doors. Find yourself grabbing the handle. Find yourself opening them.
And now you find yourself in a large room decorated in silver and blue.
So this is where you will be living.
Interesting.

Kiki looked at the doors as they swung open. "Hey!" She called out to the new girl. She jumped off the armchair and danced over to the door. "I'm Kiki! What's your name?"

If you didn't have your spider-sense you probably wouldn't have even noticed the girl, lost in....whatever it is you're lost in....when she approaches, that familiar tingling sensation kicks in, and you look up, catching yourself right before you're about to jump five feet back. No need for anyone to know exactly what you can do. Yet.
"H...hi there!" You reply, smiling (albeit a tad nervously) at this new girl. She seems friendly enough, and you're kind of lacking in the friend-department at the moment, so why not be the good semaritan you are and respond to her introduction?
"My name's may. Nice to meet you." You say with a smile.

"Nice to meet you May." Kiki smiled and took a few steps backward. She then made a movement with her hands which told May to come inside. "Come on, nothing to be afraid of here. Unless your scared of monkeys."

"Monkeys?" You repeat, but obey the girl's movements and come inside. She seems friendly enough, but of course, past experiences have taught you "friendliness" doesn't always mean "trustworthy." Or "good" but that's besides the point.
You stay quiet until you're all but standing beside the girl--but still keep your distance because hey, one can never be too careful--and drop your bags on the floor. This is....new. Different....strange....
Hold on....
Does that girl have animal ears?

Kiki laughed as May repeated her. "Yup, I'm sorta half-monkey. I got ears and a monkey tail!" Kiki giggled and grabbed her tail, showing May. "And I have powers." Kiki held out her hands and the two tamberines appeared.

"Oh." Was all you managed to reply: surprised but not as shocked as Kiki might have expected you to be. When it comes to super-powers, you know all about that, don't you? Granted, you've never seen animal ears--or a tail--on someone before....but your dad HAS told you stories about the old "X-men" team, and many of the old mutants there had animal-based abilities and qualities.
BEsides, what do you call your own powers?
"That's...that's cool, Kiki." You continue, smiling at the enthusiastic girl. You're more certain than before that this girl is both friendly AND a good person--your spider-sense hasn't gone off to warn you of any new danger.
But still, you wonder....are you yourself ready to....be so open about your own powers?
"Hey, Kiki....how many students here have....special abilities?"

"Ummm.....Not sure. Well, there is quite a lot of unicorns and flying horses, and talking animals. But I don't know." Kiki answered. "How about you? Do you have any powers?"

Unicorns? Flying horses?
As if the dogs weren't enough: this really IS a strange place, and right about now you're wondering WHAT ever possessed your father to send you here.
"Uh...." You reply, trying to figure out exactly HOW to answer....do you tell her? IS that a good idea?
Maybe you're just being paranoid--heck knows how many times you're identity's almost been revealed! But now....now you aren't even in costume....
....better make a decision, girl!
"I...." You sigh. "....yeah....I do."
Well....the secret's out....why not be flashy? Without waiting for Kiki to reply, you jump a good fifteen feet in the air, and land--not on the floor, oh no--but to the wall.
"I have spider-powers" you say, grinning down at her, while your heart pounds in your ear as you hope you haven't made the wrong decision.

Kiki beamed at May. "Wow." Was all she could say. Kiki giggled as she looked at her. "Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me." Kiki promised. Kiki looked at May and wondered if she could do that. She leaped at the wall, but instead of staying, Kiki fell on her bottom. "Ow. Okay, maybe I can't do that, but I can do this." Kiki then did a back flip and landed on one hand. "Not as good as you, but, oh well."

Hinata smiled glad to have someone else in the room. "S-S-Spider powers?" she asked. "That sounds really cool."

You grin, having realized you've gotten both their attention and awe.
With a nod at the pale-eyed girl, you launch yourself off the wall, backflip and land gracefully on your feet.
"Cool?" You say, looking at them both, "I guess....I mean I've had them since I was born--kinda--but they didn't kick in until I was fifteen."
Fifteen.....only two years....how quickly time has flown by!
"That is impressive though, Kiki." You say, acknowledging the animal-girl's nimble agility. "Not everyone can do that, you know! But what about you?" YOu ask, now turning to the sttrangely-pale-eyed girl. "Do you have any powers?"
Well, you certainly seemed to have warmed up....

"Thanks!" Kiki said with a huge grin. "Yeh Hinata, do you?!" She asked. Kiki then flipped her legs over and stood back up. "If you have spider powers, does that mean you can make webs?" Kiki asked May.

For a second, that thing called paranoia begins to ebb into your conscienceness....but you quickly realize that of COURSE Kiki would inquire about webbing. Spiders make webs, and you DID say you had Spider-powers.
"I uh, no, can't make webbing." You say, trying to imagine what it'd be like if you could....strange. Very strange, and a bit....creepy. "But," you continue, slinging your backpack from over your shoulder and reaching into it, "have these." Why you're her your webshooters you don't know. This is all so different, and uncomfortable: how many people would have your head if they knew who you really were!
You slip your webshooters around your wrists, then tell the other two to stand back. "Watch this." You say, before you extend one arm, press down on the trigger in your palm, and grin despite yourself as a spray of sticky, artificial webbing shoots out, covering the wall. "Don't worry, it's not permanent."
