[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

Since no one was stepping up Estella begrudgingly walked down from the bleachers toward the wall. It was just climbing for heavens sake. The tennis balls didn't bother her invite slightest. Grabbing the first hold she lifted herself up easily. Continuing on the only tricky part would be the hold moving unexpectedly.

[MarshiestMallow]

"It was great" Connor said, watching as Estella started climbing. "And not long enough" he sighed, "what did you do?" He asked

[knight125]

Ben watches Estella carefully, looking for any obvious signs that her soldier persona was returning.

the wall

When Estella begins climbing, McCoy dumps a huge bucket of tennis balls near the other students and says, "Tomorrow we're just running laps. For every person you cause to fall, you can stop running five minutes earlier tomorrow."

[twave]

Since McCoy hadn't put all the tennis balls out right away Estella took advantage of the initial lull. She took care not to be over any of the hand holds just in case one would shoot out while she was in its path. When one did come out nearby she braced herself before jumping at it and swinging to its top. Able to stand on it she didn't wait to see how long she could stay there and kept up to a higher set.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack grimaced. He knew he would never be able to hit anyone so he let Griffin take the lead. Just don't hurt anyone too much. Griffin studied the wall looking for the best places to aim his balls. He had a good aim so he knew he would hit at least a few people.

[Dioxide]

Sue

Sue wasn't sure who that girl was that was climbing the wall now, but she looked awfully familiar to Sue. Regardless, she figured she'd start throwing the tennis balls at her for competition sake. She had a good laugh about it mentally but made sure not to throw too hard. She aimed for the girl's hands and calves particularly, though her precision wasn't perfect.

Austin shrugged and said," I trained a bit then just went to my room. I would have gotten a hold of John but I don't have his number." He shrugged slightly, watching the girl. It smelled like Estella, which threw him off greatly. Her hair looked like her... He frowned, staring at her. How did she change from the last time he saw her? He said," what did you guys do?" He glanced at Connor again, his perplexed expression clear in his eyes.

[knight125]

John shrugs and thinks, "Eh, I don't know her, and there's a mat to catch her if she falls." He scoops up an armful of tennis balls and begins firing them off at Estella, one after another.

After he notices Ben, he stands next to him and says quietly, "I have a theory about just what your venom does, but we wouldn't know for sure unless we test it."

Ben raises an eyebrow and replies, "Go on."

"I believe that it will paralyze your victims, possibly even kill them."

Ben grins, "That'll come in handy." He thanks Anthony and turns his attention back to Estella.

[KatherinWinter]

Now that he figured out a strategy,Griggin gathered up a bunch of tennis balls and began throwing the at designated targets. He throw the balls hard and fast. Making sure that if it hit the girl that she would be distracted by the hit.

[twave]

The tennis balls began to rain down. When one of the hand holds she was gripping began to move she let go and dropped down to the one just below. Some of the tennis balls that landed a shot hit pretty hard but she was litterally built for much much worse. Glancing back she waited for an opening before climbing another several more feet. Getting careless one of the holds hit her in the side and she was spun around hanging on with one arm. Turning back she pushed off the hold to get up further. It was pretty obvious she was prepared for this and wasn't going to let anything get in her way.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Went out for dinner, talked, came back" Connor summarized, watching the tennis balls not really wanting to throw any.

Kalinda grimaced as each ball was thrown, and some hit. She gritted her teeth. Lock the emotions away. She tried to, looking away.

[SomeoneSomewere]

Jessica watched, scowling slightly at it. She folded her arms across her chest. She didn't see the point of this at all. Throw tennis balls at people until they fall? That wasn't right. Some others didn't seem fond of this either. Good.

Austin rolled his eyes at the explanation. He said," I'll have to pester you more for the details." He watched Estella, frowning deeply. This was irking him, not knowing this. He needed to get closer to her so he can identify her without other scents joining and mixing in.

[MarshiestMallow]

"It is Estella" Connor said, noticing Austins glance "just different. I saw her eyes before she went up.shes from another world right, maybe she evolved"

[knight125]

Estella made it to the top and stood on the platform there. "Next." Casually stepping of the edge she dropped back down. A swirl of air formed on the floor and cushioned her landing. Thinking the whole thing easy she sat back down and waited for someone else to take on the challenge.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda decided to go next. The sooner she went,
The sooner she could leave, run away from the pain of other students being hit. She didn't care if she got in trouble, she couldn't get her blocks up.

She stepped up, to the wall

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin was disappointed that he hadn't been able to knock the girl off the wall. He saw Kalinda go to the wall. Griffin didn't want to hit her, but he wanted to follow the teachers instruction. Unsure what to do he simply watched her climb.

[knight125]

Ben files away the knowledge that Estella is now willing to use her powers even when unnecessary. Then, as Kalinda steps up to the rock climbing wall, Ben scoops up a tennis ball and tosses it at her rear. He laughs as he says, "Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I just had to tap that."

"Parker! Save that type of talk for after school." McCoy growls before saying to Estella, "Well done Esuterura. Have a growth spurt, did we?"

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda closed her eyes, talking a deep breath. She let it out slowly, "there are better ways of doing so then throwing a tennis ball" she said, her voice calm, she started to climb. She started quickly, her ha ds starting to shake. She caught herself as a hand hold disappeared

[knight125]

John nudges Ben with his elbow as he cries out in response to Kalinda's quip, "Ooooooohhh."

Ben chuckles and pushes John away, "Shut up Brock. Without your powers, I could kick your ass."

John replies with a smirk on his face, "Any time you wanna try, Parker, any time."
