MutantHigh Episode3: Speed limit

Not much. Just had a nap under the tree over there. Kinda sick of school, only got half a year left, but if feals like eternity. If yer know wot i mean? Jono glances around a little, Trith be told i'm lokin forward to a bit of combat trainin this afternoon. I've been starting to feal a little pent up, the release will feel good.

"Eh, I hear you, I still got over 2 to go." Clair shrugs, "Yeah, combat training does sound like fun, I wish I could join but I'm not 'dangerous' enough, heh." He kinda says the last part bitterly, "However, maybe I can sneak a peak and see what everyone else can do with their powers."

The air felt so cool against her skin, breeze whipping her pony tail in a dark banner behind her head from beneath the helmet. Her clothes had changed from the nice ones for work, into some antique jeans, sneakers, and a fitted white T-shirt cropped just enough to give only a hint of her abs. Most noticable was the excitement that seemed to vibrate from her eyes into the everything around her. Excitement at being able to let loose and go a little wild.

The engine revved under that thought.

Katie hadn't been here but a few days and already this place was digging itself deep into the marrow of her bones. Who couldn't fall in love with the gorgeous beaches, excellent skating scene, and even better, cute boys.

As she sped along at a speed that was definitely beyond any speed limit posted, Katie thought about the few she had met so far. The all seemed very nice, though a couple of them confused her. But then, she was new to this dating scene...the boys at college were too old to ask her out and she'd never really hung out with anyone her own age. It figures, just as she was getting to be old enough to date the college freshmen, she would have to pack up and move out here.

Finally the mall came into view. A few minutes later, her bike tucked safely away, Katie rolled along on her skateboard toward the food court, making sure to avoid notice of the security guards on her way there. Tapping into their system sure had a few benefits...

There he was, sitting there licking his ice cream. For the past couple of days, Joey had been particularly confusing. Katie wasn't sure what he wanted from her. For a long while there, she wasn't sure if he had been just teasing her with all those comments as a friend or if he really liked her as more than that. Though today had cleared that up immensely when she finally figured out that he and Eris were dating.

Boys were strange. Why did he act that way if he liked Eris?

Glancing around as she finally reached him, Katie returned her gaze to Joey with an amused smile. "Where's Eris? Did she go shopping?"

Joey looked up and smiled, "Hey grab a seat," he patted a place right next to him, "Eris is back at the Institute, she had a training thing with Jono, and Mike, so I had to come by myself. She looked kind of bum, but she will be at the contest later tonight."

Joey turned his full attention to Katie, and offered her some ice cream, "Want some, really good, nice and cold too," he smiled, "nice outfit, can barely tell your a teacher."

Joey gave her the look, the one that had the hint of danger, not the bad kind of danger, but the edge that, he definitely wanted something, and she was the only person in the world that could give it to him. It is was in his boyish smile, his eyes, his manner, it was not overt, but definitely clouded the conversation with the sensation of arousal.

Joey smirked, "You know I think your going to win this thing tonight, your hot, your good, and well you got all the right moves."

The edge of her lips turned down slightly in a disappointed frown as she stopped her skateboard in front of him. "Oh. That's too bad. Eris was really looking forward to this. Does that mean that we need to head back to the institute now?"

Her skin burned slightly at the way he looked at her. Katie couldn't quite place it, but it certainly felt very...naughty? Though at that thought, she quickly pushed it away to keep her cheeks from turning too pink. You're being silly, Katie. Stop imagining things.

"You only think I can win?" she asked him breezily with a laugh. "There are three things in the world that I am very good at." She began to tick them off her fingers. "Computers, snowboarding, and skateboarding."

Crouching down so that they were at eye level, Katie gave him a mock look of innocence...though with her who could tell the difference. "You think you're the only one entitled to a bit of arrogance, Surfer boy?"

Her fingers curled around the ice cream and held it up between them. "You know, you have to stop giving me food. I already eat enough for three people just on my own...but haven't you ever thought about how interesting food is? Did you know that the best chefs in the world are actually scientists who understand how chemicals react together to create something so masterful as this ice cream?"

Katie gave it a generous lick and then a bite, letting her mouth savor the creamy textures, the chill, and then the tingling of sugar exciting the nerves and activating the part in her mind that sparkled pleasure. "Ok...I have to get one of my own now before I eat all of yours," she told him with a laugh.

Joey grinned, "I like those kind of scientists, they specialize in human pleasure. That is a cool thing in my book," he handed her the ice cream, "go ahead and polish it off, I am good," he stood, so she would have to look up to him, though that wasn't his original intent.

"Just call me superstitious, but I never go into a contest thinking, I am going to win, for sure, I always just let it ride, truth be told, winning and losing, it is all in the mind. Just the ride, the surf, and the moment is all that matters to me," Joey placed a hand on her shoulder, "But I know you are going to rule the turf out there."

"Oh before I forget, there is a party tommorow night, and I mean, as much as I want to go, I don't want to go alone, and I was wondering if your free, we should go together," Joey flashed a smile, "I mean, I am just a surfer boy, but don't hold that against me."

the training facilities under Haven

With a long leap Eris dodges a flamestrike shot at her by Patriot and the trunk behind her explodes as it is hit instead. She lands rolling and her combat uniform softens the fall. She, Chamber and Mike are in hundred meter whide room filled with all kinds of cover. They are each twenty yards apart from each other and fifty from the exit of the room. The rules are simple: Whoever get's past Patriot and out of the room first wins and can leave. The rest go into another round. It's allowed to ally with each other but only one of you can win...
Patriot took cover behind a plastic form that could resemble a car. He is wearing his usual army outfit, brown coat and mask.

Uniforms: Every student found a fitting uniform in his room after the second day at Haven. There are none at the school or Haven normaly, these are for combat training. Each one consists of a black and dark blue kevlar bodysuit with additonal armor at some areas. The suits are closed to the neck and come with gloves. The most remarkable fact about them is that they can be pushed together to 8*8 inch packages that can easily be carried around in a backpack. The suits each vary in style a bit.
OOG: Everyone gets one of the Uniforms which give +2safe against damage then worn. Apart from the fact that they are all skintight and mostly black and dark blue everyone can decide on the specific of his own suit. One may come with a coat or jacket, have another colour, have a midriff top, whatever. And of course free arms or stuff like that won't reduce the protection value. (for those who read it imagine the Uniforms in Ulitmate X_men, or X-Men Extreme to get what I mean.

"Just the ride, the surf, and the moment is all that matters to me,"B]

His words echo and spark a thoughtful look in her eyes as Katie rises up with him. His hand on her shoulder felt warm with only a thin T-shirt between him and her skin. But all of that didn't register because her mind was at once a million miles away and yet very intimate in the moment.

"That's what I believe, too. I think I might have told you about that at the beach the other day. It's all about you and nature. When you're on the board, its just you, the pavement and the next trick. Its not about games, its just sports."

Yet still her strangely thoughtful look continued, dark eyes meeting blue ones. And although she had no guile and her thoughts shone in her eyes, they were hardly anything he could understand, especially when she started to talk almost absently. "You have really beautiful eyes. The remind me of the ocean, clear and blue, reflecting sunlight. And yet the same time there's depth to them, things hiding beneath the surface. People believe the ocean is always calm and peaceful, but I know better about the tides rippling beneath the surface, especially the riptide."

Blinking, Katie snapped out of her reverie and then smiled cheerfully at him as she pushed off on her skateboard toward the bikes. "Come on, I'll race you to the bikes! Why do you need me to come with you? Aren't you going with Eris? I can't imagine her wanting to miss a party like that."

Joey shakes his head, as Katie takes off, he follows, not bad himself, just out opf practice, and takes it easy, following her, as she weaves, dances, and jumps her way towards the bikes... as she pulls up, he kicks his board to his hand, and carries it the last few steps, "Nah, Eris will be there, but I am sure she is looking to be on the prowl, that girl hasa wild streak in her, not like we are a couple or anything, just friends. Yeah I know some people think that, but we aren't. We just get along really well, you know totally platonic," he grins.

Joey smirked, "And it isn't so much a need as it is, a want, I want you to go with me, because I think your cute, smart, and very talented, did I say cute, try hot, and those are features I admire in a member of the opposite sex. And you got them rocking sexy eyes," he leans against his bike, relaxed.
