MutantHigh Episode2: Russians and Fishmen?!

[Shalimar]

Eris gave a wonderous smile as she started to float upward, it felt good to be weightless, like all of her problems were drifting away from her. She looked inordinately relieved at the news that they would not be going to the infirmary, she hadn't wanted to mention it, but that place, pretty much any place that was like the hospital made her spine crawl.

"How did you know? That I hate places like that, I, I haven't told anyone." when Dr. Garcia promises that it wont happen anymore, the pink haired girl smiles at her. "I'm strong enough, fast enough now, I wont let anyone do anything like that to me again." she says sounding rather determined.

"Katie, are you going back to the Institute by yourself, or do you want me to drive you?" Asks Jack, concerned about her apparent shock.

Katie shook her head. "No...I can handle it. See you at the institute."

Sighing, she jogged over to where she had parked her motorcycle. Throwing one leg over the machine, she revved up the engine and let it go. The air on her face, blowing her long black ponytail behind her, Katie lost herself in the view - the experience - the freedom. If only to erase the violence of before. If only to erase that for the first time in her life she had displayed her powers so wantonly for all to see and not only that, but used her abilities - and they were more powerful than she had ever dreamed possible.

And that last thought frightened her the most.

 

[Tokiwong]

Not able to find solace, even with the reduced volume, he works on the bike, and cleans it up from his ride earlier in the day. He looked up to see Katie, coming in, he looks up and smiles as he sees her.

He stands up, wiping his hands, "Hey Katie, welcome back, sorry I left out early, it was getting kind of slow. But I was impressed with the fact that your a surfer, and skating right, that is pretty sweet. A rare thing to find in most rocking betties, I could help you out some, I did some time on the pro-tour last year, and I have been surfing for a long time. We could make it a trade, you surf with me, and I will skate with you, did some when I was younger, but not so much as I got older."

Joey pauses, realizing he has been talking the whole time, he helps her with her bike, "Sorry about that, kind of slow around the Institute, and my neighbor, has thing with playing with himself, don't ask," Joey smirks.

"I was just working on my bike, before you pulled up," he says gesturing over his shoulder.

When Michael sees Katie in the hallway, he approaches her.

"Hey Katie. I'm sorry for the way I ran out like that tonight. It was really rude of me."

 

[KitanaVorr]

Katie almost felt a bit saddened when she finally pulled into the garage and the bike came to a stop, but just as she took off her helmet, Joey came up to help her, suddenly more talkative that he was at the party.

Smiling she nodded at his words, trying not to start blushing at his compliments. "Sure I could desparately use some tips. I think I spent more time in the water than actually on the board...but now skateboarding my friend...I can definitely show you how to ride the pavement there...just don't you spend more time with your butt on the concrete than your feet on the board!"

Patting her own bike, she winked at Joey's words about working on his bike. "Actually...I was going to ask Dr. Garcia if it was okay to take one of these for my own...you know...modify it a bit....just a bit[..." She grinned dreaming of a new TURBO switch.

When Michael came in, she waved at him. "That's alright, Michael," she assured him with a smile. "I shouldn't have said anything. I didn't mean to get you upset, really I didn't mean anything at all by it at all. Forgive me?"

"It was really obvious from your behavior, especially then you started to search for me everywhere but in my lab. We will have to chek you through but you don't have to go there if you don't want to."
She looks out of the window and sees Jack, Katie and Patriot return.
"Ah there they are, strange I think I see bulletholes in his clothes again."
With a sigh she walks on the blacony.
"Just promise me you won't pick up his habbit of getting shot at then your through with combat training."

 

[Tokiwong]

I thought she was a cool betty, Joey nods, "Sounds like sweet idea, Katie. Well I don't want to hold you up. you probablu lots of stuff to get ready for, being a teacher and all, but hey, why don't we get together later this week, and check out the city, I can get a skateboard and we can see just how rusty I am..."

Joey went back to his bike, "Its a date alright?" he said over his shoulder.

 

[Shalimar]

Eris looks at her suspiciously, "What exactly do you have to check? I can tell you what my powers are, so there really isn't a need, not really." she puts a hopeful lilt on that last, though she knows its just wishful thinking.

"Who? Oh!" she exclaims when she catches a glimpse of Patriot. Her vision sharpens itself, focusing on the mans clothes. "He looks great to me." she says conpsirationally to the older woman, then gives a start, her eyes widening, she hadn't really meant to say it out loud, not like that. She settled on trying to distract the Dr. by telling her about her powers, hoping she'd miss what she had said.

"I can heal really fast, when Patriot found me, I had a broken nose, two broken ribs, and my wrist was broken. I don't think getting shot'll be too much different, not that I am planning on it or anything." she assured Garcia hastily. "I was fine within a minute or two. I am beyond Olympic class in Gymnastics without having ever trained at it, my senses are a lot sharper then a humans, a lot sharper, I can see in the dark, my sense of smell is accute enough to track someone just by their scent, to know if someone's coming. I can also jump really high, or far, depending. I think it was Michael who asked if I was bit by a radioactive cat, and thats as apt a description as any. So can I not have a check up now? I told you what all my powers were."

"There's nothing to forgive. If I was truly angry at you you'd be hearing from my lawyers."

 

[KitanaVorr]

Joey went back to his bike, "Its a date alright?" he said over his shoulder.

"Sure thing, Joey, you just tell me when and we'll go pick you up a skateboard," she replied, her mind really on the curves of her bike and exactly what she could do to improve it. There were so many things...perhaps she could attach an onboard computer...link it to a wireless...Date?!

Katie glanced quickly back at Joey with slight surprise then shook her head as if to clear her thoughts. Don't jump to conclusions! He's just being friendly.

Sighing, she headed back into the house to clean herself up, find someone who would give her permission to 'hot rod' the bike, and try her hand at "exploring" the security systems of the institute.
