[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[knight125]

Ben shrugs, "It's not a big deal either way, I just kind of miss the hot breakfast. Have you found out anything new about your ship?"

[twave]

Estella smiles and nods. "Quite a bit. It's a lot more than I expected. But at the moment I'm less interested in what the ship can do and more to do with a data storage unit that came with it. I'm hoping it can tell me more about how I've changed. And maybe how to undo it." So far she'd just exhibited benefits from her transformation, so her concern might not make as much sense.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani gave up trying to sleep around dawn. She dressed quickly and headed out. She had a book in her hand, and weaved her way through the students on campus as she headed to the cafeteria.

---

Devika made it to the gym. Her already wild curly hair was out of control, and she was dressed in a long t-shirt and basketball shorts. She yanked open the door to the gym, and headed toward the noise of the rowing machine. "Hey..." She stifled a long yawn. "Why'm I here this early, again?"

[knight125]

John gets off of the rowing machine and shrugs while he replies with a grin, "You love being around me." He points to a nearby treadmill and says, "We'll start off easy and work our way up from there. Did you being a water bottle?"

Ben frowns, "What do you mean? Besides looking different and being able to talk now, you're acting pretty much the same as before your transformation. Why would you want to undo it?"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika rolled her eyes and punched John in the shoulder for his comment. Then she flinched and shook her hand. "Ow. What the hell are you made of, bricks? Sheesh..." She produced a large water bottle from her bag. "So... what do I do?" She stepped onto the treadmill, looking apprehensively at all the buttons.

[Klyix]

Kat had been in the middle of the kind of sleep that could best be described as void of anything, no dreams, no memories, nothing. That was until she felt something land on her face. Instincts kicked in and she was dragged from sleep and immediately ready attack, pushing the object away from her and onto a solid surface - whatever it was - as she turned to look her attacker in the face; a pillow. Hearing laughter from the other side of the room she sighed, visibly relaxing as she turned to glare at the source of the trauma. "See, this is why I keep a distance whenever I have to wake you." Robb laughed, looking down at the half asleep god who was threatening his furniture.

"You never have anywhere to be, why are you always awake so early?" She murmured, sinking back into the couch, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Well if I wasn't who was going to make sure you were up in time to catch the bus, can't have you being late to school." This time it was him who was attacked by a pillow but he only laughed more as she made her way to the bathroom.

"Tone it down, it's not decent anyone being this cheerful this time of the morning - especially not around me."

"Oh cheer up kitten, I'll make bacon." That kept quiet any protests from her so she let the nickname slide as she stepped into the shower, welcoming the ice cold water as it rushed over her skin.

*****

After a somewhat rushed breakfast but feeling definitively better than an hour ago Kat appeared at the school. For lack of a better place to go she headed to the cafeteria. The lack of any staff was obviously noticeable, and as she fixed herself a coffee she wondered if she had cast any ill-advised curses last night. No, as far as she was aware this had nothing to do with her and therefore there was no reason for her to be concerned. Finding herself a quiet table outside she blew on the top of the drink and rest her head on her hand, watching the world wake up to another dull day on this earth.

[knight125]

John says laughingly as Devika punches him, "Hey, I actually almost felt that." In response to her question, he says, "Keep your feet on the bars that are on each side of the belt. I'll turn it to a walking pace, and you just step on when you're ready." He turns the machine on then points to two arrows and continues, "When you're ready to go faster, press the top arrow, and when you want to slow down, press the other."

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika listened to his instructions, carefully planting her feet on either side of the treadmill's belt. She watched it move for a moment or two before she carefully stepped on. She walked, steadily, but it wasn't really much effort. "Er... I guess I'll make it faster." She pressed the top arrow a few times until she was moving at a light jog.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor stopped when entering the cafeteria. He frowned looking about, was there no hot food? He sighed going over to see what he could eat, noting the absence of staff.

---

Kalinda shrugged and continued on her way. She stopped at a court yard, thought what the hell, dumped her gear, then took to the skies, hovering above the school, allowing the winds to move her as she contemplated how she wanted to do this

[Dioxide]

Sue

Sue had finished her lap, and in good time too. She headed back to her dorm, sweaty and even steaming against the temperature gradients from the ambient coolness. She walked past a rather hurried man, carrying clothes that must have been Anthony’s. He must have called him in.

She went up to her room and noted that there was a very obvious stream of sounds, the torrent and splashes of water. If it had been anyone else, she’d have asked them to hurry up. But then again, it was nearing time for class, so Anthony had to hurry up.

She pounded on the door in the rhythm of "Baa Baa Black Sheep", and with Sue’s powers, sounded like thunderous booms. It must have sounded way louder with the reverberation in the toilet.

[knight125]

(Guys, I'm going to say there's a slight time difference between John and Devika and everyone else. The stuff that we post for them will be happening about thirty minutes before the stuff that's happening to everyone else.)

John nods as Devika speeds up and says, "Lookin' good. In about ten or fifteen minutes, we can switch to something else." He walks a little ways away and jumps up, grabbing hold of a metal bar above him. He begins doing pull-ups and chin-ups, switching every ten reps.

Within seconds of the banging on the bathroom door, the shower turns off. Thirty seconds later, Anthony opens the door, standing there with a towel wrapped around his waist. "I apologize. If I had known you'd be back so soon, I'd have brought my clothes in here. Also, was it alright that I used your shower?"

[Dioxide]

Sue

”It’s fine, boo.” She took a good whiff of the smell of her soaps off his body. She turned around and brought in a set of clothing; some leggings, basketball shorts, a crude, purple basketball jersey and a white long-sleeve T-Shirt. ”Go Knicks!”, she signed as she sidestepped him to the toilet.

It was already warm, thankfully, and she set into motion to clean herself up. She imagined Anthony’s charming face and oh-my-god sexy body while the water rushed off her face.

She dressed up, and after a quick brush and deodorant spray, she got out, ready to go. She was quite proud of her efficiency in the shower. Only downside was frozen hair in this terrible weather, but it’ll loosen soon enough.

She got her bag and waited for Anthony to finish up, she leaning against her door.

Right, she hadn't explained this much to anyone. "Well the talking part came from your presence. I adapted to my surroundings and part of that was you. But there is more to it than what you listed. This particular weapons program has a very consistent record of driving the subjects exposed to it insane. I need to find out if there is a way to undo this before that happens."

[knight125]

(The guy that brought Anthony clothes also brought toiletries)

Once Sue had gone into the bathroom, Anthony sheds the towel and gets dressed. Although he finishes quickly, the speed comes from years of practice at dressing in fine clothes, rather than him being rushed. Just as he finishes dressing, his phone rings. Once he sees the number, Anthony makes a split-second decision and, risking the chance of Sue overhearing, answers. He listens to the caller for a few minutes before answering in code, "Yes, the mockingbird hunt will take place in approximately four days. I believe that the birds' coloring has started to change slightly, which should make the job easier. You spot the nests, I'll bring the ammo." Anthony hangs up the phone just as Sue walks into the room. He smiles and asks, "Shall we go, m'lady?"

(I wonder if any of you will catch the reference)

Ben nods slowly as he repeats, "Insane?" He finishes the apple he had been eating before saying, "Let's hope you succeed then. It'd be a shame if you turned evil."

He begins doing pull-ups and chin-ups, switching every ten reps.

Devika continued to walk, rather distracted by what John was doing. "How do you not fall? I mean, that looks sort of..." Awesome. "Dangerous." But she kept on jogging, the ten minutes up before she knew it. "Well, what's next?"

[twave]

Ordinarily that statement would have gotten more of a reaction but as she was there wasn't the same amount of emotion. "Well even if I did I would eventually turn into a babbling mental case. So I wouldn't be much of a threat after that."

[knight125]

John drops down and asks, "What do you mean, dangerous? It's a pretty common exercise." He clears his throat then says, "I suppose sit-ups are next. Lay on the ground, clasp your hands behind your head, and keep your knees bent with your feet flat on the ground. I'll hold your feet and you just sit up. We'll do it as many times as you can."

Ben chuckles, "Haven't you heard of the Joker? He's a basket case with no powers and he was still incredibly dangerous. Thank God Deadpool killed him."

Devika shrugged. "I mean, you could fall or something..." She settled down on the ground, tucked her hands behind her heat, and started to struggle upward. The first few were okay, but soon she was feeling a horrible burn in her abdomen. "Ughh... this hurts."

[twave]

"I heard about him. But no, this would destroy my brain so I would be a vegetable. It's part of the reason it was banned." She finished off her food and shrugged slightly.

[knight125]

John nods, "I know it hurts like hell when you're first starting, but of your body isn't burning, you're really exercising. Come on, just eight more. You can do it!"

"Alright then, I believe you." Ben says before standing and saying, "I'm going to head over to gym. Care to come?"
