Kalinda shrughed "that is the point. are powers make us....they shape how we can be. But why are you doing the running, the weights? Sure, the running bs a good cardio, and the weights help, but there's other things you can do, for high, fast results? You need to mix it up. Go hard. Do the things that make your muscles scream. Squats,'push ups, chin ups, sit ups. There's a reason they are still around, even with the weight machines and stuff" She shrugged, and jumped onto a treadmill, doing a slow warm up. She just did maintance work, not particularly caring about her self, but knowing it was good for her powers. "You need to mix it up in anycase. Your body gets use to the same movements over and over again and you get no results after a while. Or so my dance teacher always told me" again, a shrug. Despite the fact that she was wearing clothes that covered most of her body, she didn't appear to be having any difficulty running "frankly, you have an advantage over everyone. People expect what they see. They will just assume that you aren't the best in a fight and consider it won, even if they can resist your power. You can use that. You don't need to be completely fit to know how to punch someone in the nose"

@Caits

Devika got onto the treadmill beside her, starting her cooldown, which was basically a slow walk meant to calm her body. "Did you listen to anything that I said? I don't want fast results. I don't want to be muscular. Also, I've been doing this for a month and I've been going longer and harder every time. Maybe screaming muscles work for people who weigh a buck-five soaking wet, but unfortunately, I'm someone who isn't naturally inclined to physical fitness. I have to work, and I've tried before, doing... whatever the hell you said. It failed hard, because I went from zero to sixty and hurt myself, and I didn't try again until just now." She mixed deep breaths into her walk, trying to calm the annoyance she was feeling. "Besides, again-- I'm not doing this for power, and I'm not doing this to fight. I'm doing this because it will make me feel like a better me, and I'm tired of having a spare tire like a middle aged man. I don't care if I sit behind a desk for work, I'm gonna feel good sitting at that desk." She shrugged, rolling her shoulders in a pleasing way. "If I never have to throw a punch in my life, that's all the better."

[Klyix]

She didn't allow herself to be distracted by the apple, instead keeping her eyes on him as he broke down her behaviour, analysed her. It was telling, true, but not just about her. Condident - well, arrogant- and smug, bold and boastful; but then again, why let him know as such. People had been trying to read her for as long as she had been trying to read others and in that time she had only improved in both learning others secrets and hiding her own. "It hardly seems fair that you already know so much of me, yet I do not even know your face." And he was a new face, that much she was certain. Then again, she wasn't going to be a complete pushover. "And as for that, how about you keep talking and see how many words you can get in before I throw you across the room?" She smiled sweetly and her tone was light, which only served to make it more confusing as to the intention behind the words. She was most likely joking, but then again...?

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe gave a laugh, grabbing some food "Nicholas is younger then me, but he's very...serious." She said brightly, and smiled "thank you" she said in response to the congratuatulations, and listened as Makoto spoke about why she had chosen the matias arts. It seemed very reasonable. She smiled and nodded, going over to Floods table, and sat down. While she was wary being around flood, simply because you couldn't predict what he'd do or say, he was an okay person. "Hi Flood. Did you actually buy the food today?" [center***[/center] Kalinda just shrughed, stepping off the tread mill, she grabbed some weights to make her way away from Devika and Nicholas, so as no to risk hurting them "you still need to mix it up, or your bodies just going to get use to it and you'll flatline in any sort of result" She then jogged to the other side of the gym, and sat down, the weights around her.

[Flood]

"Yes I did!" He said in a joyful tone. "I also may have set up several paint bombs in the school while under a out of body experience. By which I mean I couldn't control my body." He added as an afterthought. "I also set a trash can on fire. That one I did have control over my body."

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika rolled her eyes when Kalinda was gone, and started up the treadmill for another 10 minutes to burn away the frustration. She caught sight of Nicholas, and wondered how long he'd been there. She hadn't even noticed him. "Morning, Nick. I didn't know you worked out." She smiled, tilting her head a bit. He looked good. Maybe he could give her some tips on how to adjust. "You look good. Maybe you can teach me some stuff."

@Mistress Dizzy

After a fee moments Nicholas slowly turned his head towards Devika,"Thank you...what do you need tips with?The arm exercise mostly?" He said with his usual dull tone of voice. He don't know she was their so was Kalinda but he was more engrossed with working out,He stopped wiping his forehead of sweat his sweater sticking to his body showing his muscles.

[Avanhelsing]

Ryan sped into the room and grabbed some food. He quickly ran in and sat down next to Phoebe. He quickly sat down next Phoebe. "Hey." He said looking tired, which was odd for him. "Sorry. Had to do my run. Dad said I need to train more. So I am." He said nodding to Flood. "Hey Flood." --- Jack wandered into the gym and stood by himself. He never liked all of this but he had to train more. Strength was not a problem because of his genes but it was his speed. So he hopped on one of the tredmills and just started running.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe narrowed her eyes at Flood "if I get hit by a paint bomb, I will not be happy. Why do you do such things?" She asked, looking over as Ryan sat down, a smile already forming, but when she saw that he was tired, concern entered her expression. She gave him a hug, "is that why you are tired?" She asked Kalinda just settled herself, and within moments, had weights in the air, seeing how far she could lift them, as well as for how long

[Avanhelsing]

Ryan tried to catch his breath as he kept breathing heavy." I had to run more than I had before. Gotta keep going fast." He said looking around. There was still something off. "I still have a lot of work to do."

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe frowned, waiting until he caught his breath, before asking "What's wrong? it can't just be the training" She said, concern evident in her voice, and she studied him, handing him her water

@Eviledd1984

Devika took a covert glance at Nicholas, briefly lifting her eyebrows in surprise. Nick was so quiet and kind of unassuming. She hadn't expected him to look that fit. Then again, no one expected her to be able to be in shape either... "Well, not just that. Just trying to bring myself up to a stronger level. I think I'm about done with the treadmill, and my arms are getting good too." She flexed, her thick arm showing a small, but definite bulge of muscle. "No more pudding arms for me!"

"I can see that...well we can try to work on your leg muscles...or we could on your ab muscles.." Nicholas said taking a quick look at her thick thighs holding down a blush and feeling a hot tingle in his body. "Or we could work more on your arm muscles...if you want too" He said looking back at her eyes,The sweat off of the sweater was contacting around his body showing more of his six pack.

[Eviledd1984]

Nicholas at first looked around slowly turning his head form side to side before looking back at Devika ignoring Estella was doing,His mind was now some place else at the moment he was more focused on talking to Devika.

[Mistress Dizzy]

@Eviledd1984

Devika nodded a bit, feeling a sudden wave of an emotion that she didn't recognize fully. It was like a tingling, discomfort, apprehensive feeling, but it was warm. Strange. She looked to Nicholas, adjusting her glasses. "You okay, Nick? I'm feeling some kinda anxiety." She really hoped he wasn't going to be too bothered by her unwillingness to go out with him. It wasn't him, really. It was her, and her power. All she'd seen when Nick had asked her on a date was the first (and last) boy she'd let herself love, and the consequences of that.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda

The weights fell to the ground with a loud clatter, at the wave of hot emotion that washed over Kalinda."Jesus Nick, empaths in the room!" She shouted, rising, knowing she just needed to get out the gym now. In the fresh air, she felt better. She pressed her fingers to her eyes, taking three deep breaths. She knew Nicholas had feelings for Devika, but, hell some sort of warning would have been nice. It seemed like Devika was completely unaware about those emotions. She walked through the cool morning air, putting as much distance between herself, and the gym, and was soon immersed in the crowd of people getting food, their emotions seeming to settle and calm her.

Connor

Connor headed down to the cafeteria, despite the fact he wasn't that hungry, perhaps a first for him. He saw some of his classmates together at a table, and hesitated to go over, but just grabbed some food and grabbed an empty table. He took out his phone, laying it on the table, after tapping on it for a moment, bringing up a search, testing out the satellite hacking he had installed for his suit, seeing If it worked. He set it to seath for both or either of his parents, and soon it showed his mother, going for her normal morning walk.

[Avanhelsing]

Phoebe frowned, waiting until he caught his breath, before asking "What's wrong? it can't just be the training" She said, concern evident in her voice, and she studied him, handing him her water

@Caits

Ryan grumbled and looked at her. "It's dear old Dad again. He keeps railing on me about not training or something else. He is pissed with me or something..." He said sounding rather sad. "It's nothing, really. So what's your plan for today?" He asked smiling at her.

[Hidden Lilly]

"Good Morning Flood." she greeted, taking a seat. Makoto smiled at the little exchange between Phoebe and Flood. Though it would be a pain, she thought the paint bombs would be kind of funny. It was paint, so no-one would truly get hurt. If he had planted real bombs she would be concerned. Makoto began to eat her breakfast, fruit and some oatmeal. It was warm and refreshing, she always enjoyed healthier food. There was something crisp and fresh about it that she just loved. "Good morning Ryan." Makoto greeted when he came to sit with them. Again she listened as Phoebe and Ryan interacted. She could tell how much they meant to each other just by how they interacted with one another. It was wonderful and she was happy for Phoebe but... it also made her ache with loneliness. She had no family, no one to be close to that she could share the day's events with. Soon Makoto began to just focus on her meal and inadvertently make herself as invisible as she felt. She felt for Ryan though, her mom had put really tough expectations on her as well... when she was alive. Makoto wanted to help if she could but she nether had any advice for him nor thought it was her place to speak up. Plus, he changed the subject fairly quickly, not wanting to talk about it either in public or at all. Makoto hoped that she was not witnessing the beginning of a butting of heads in their relationship. "Hey Flood, do you know when gym starts?" Makoto asked, trying to move her brain along and focus on something other than the feeling of her heart being compressed.

@Klyix

Hearing Kat's response made Lee grin even more. "Well my name is Lee and before such a nasty event occurs to my face..." he said introducing himself. "May I have the honor of knowing the name of the face that may throw me across the room?" He asked in friendly tone of voice as he sat there watching Kat all the while the grin never left his face even as she spoke.

[Klyix]

Well, he certainly was sure of himself. She quickly looked to the clock, there was time so why not fight fire with fire? Or whatever other banal phrase they used with abundance round here. She leaned forward matching his grin with a soft smile which was not wholly innocent. "For now, you can call me Kat. So tell me Lee" she said, drawing out his name "there are plenty of people around, why talk to me?" Oh validate me white knight, and confirm your importance. It was so cliche it was almost embarrassing if it were not so easy.
