He looked over at the other mutants in the line-up. "So uh.... who wants to go first?"

[KatherinWinter]

@Carlsberg
"Which one do you think you will have trouble with?" Katherin asked curiously. She didn't know the girl's skills so she didn't know what she could do. The girl looked like she should be able to do most of the course.

[Xiphonic]

Veronica knew she would have to be the one to kick it off. "I volunteer to go first." She said stepping forward. "How do you feel about using one's power during the course?" she asked as a guards escorted her to the start.

[Carlsberg]

@KatherinWinter

"The salmon ladder, the one where you have to hold on, and the net," she said, "I'm not that strong. "

[KatherinWinter]

@Xiphonic
"You can you it if you want to. You will most likely always have the power. You can do whatever you need to do to complete the course as long as you go over all the obstacles." The scientist answered.

[Xiphonic]

@KatherinWinter@Carlsberg@Varicke
Alright, time to do this.Trying to get her self hyped up for the challenge. Most of these obstacles would require speed over much else. Veronica readied at the start.

"We will start the timer when you pass that line." Said a scientist, pointing at the ground in front of her.

She pushed off like a sprinter starting a race. She jumped left-to-right, only landing one leg on each and using it to push off to the next one, making it through in 10 seconds. Not much harder than jumping over obstacles as you run away from the guy who caught you stealing from the back of his car.

@Xiphonic

Jen nodded as she saw Veronica take the first obstacle.
"Not bad," She said quietly.

[Xiphonic]

@Carlsberg@Varicke@KatherinWinter
Up next, the salmon ladder, this is the place where it would likely go wrong. This would involve more upper body strength than she had to muster, so her power would have to come into play.

She got on the first rung, and realized how similar it was to a simple pull-up. Veronica had done pull-ups a long time ago at the school she went to, she was not very good at them then but understood how to do it. Ok, do a little bit of swinging to get some momentum then do a pull up but also launch the bar up as I go, simple enough. was the thought of how to conquer this.

this technique worked for the first two but she was getting tired. She did the motion again but the bar was obviously not going to make it. She had only a second to muster energy from around herself to fire up into the bar to carry it up more. It worked! She did this along with some extra push up from her feet to make it the rest of the way. She quickly used some Infrared light to recuperate and pushed on.

"40 seconds." A scientist shouted from below.

[Carlsberg]

@Xiphonic

'Interesting use of her power,' Jen thought.

[Xiphonic]

@Carlsberg@KatherinWinter
The next obstacle was easy, simply running fast enough and landing in the middle slightly off to the front worked, didn't even have to use her power to recover more than once.

The obstacle after that would be even easier. Veronica hopped on and began to immediately build up momentum like a pendulum, or standing on a swing. With some extra push from her power, she managed to reach the net with ease. That is where a problem occurred. One hand missed the grab and one foot was most of the way through, the angel also made it feel like additional weight was bearing down on her. Come on, not here, I am almost done! You can do this.. Veronica hung there for a few seconds before recovering and crawling to the platform. She took a bit longer to recover and was getting tired.

"Minute fifteen." The scientist called out with the update.

[Carlsberg]

@Xiphonic

"Come on Veronica, you can do it!" Jen shouted all of a sudden, before putting her hand over her mouth, not realising how loud she had been.

[Varicke]

@Xiphonic

'Interesting...' Kiiros was keeping mental notes about each mutants capabilities during the course. He's pretty sure the others are most likely doing the same, but Kiiros was looking for weaknesses.

[Xiphonic]

@Carlsberg@KatherinWinter@Varicke
The additional support from Jen gave Veronica focus, it was that or the adrenaline was starting to full kick in.

The last obstacle presented the least immediate threat to Veronica, she had climbed plenty of fences and walls in her day, the slight curve and the height was going to be a bit difficult. She got a running start before climbing partially up and jumping, barely missing the edge. Her failure gave pause for a brief moment as she got back again. This time she used her power to get a better kick off of the wall, this time grabbing the ledge. She took a few seconds to pull her self up before running over and hitting the button. Yes! she thought, waving to the other mutants.

[GingerBoi123]

Damien was watching with awe, and immediately pumped his fist up when Veronica recovered on the net. "C'mon, V! You got this!" He called out. He cheered when Veronica finally hit the buzzer!

[KatherinWinter]

@Xiphonic
"One minute forty."The scientist stated calmly. He wasn't impressed. It was clear that she wouldn't have been able to complete the course it that short amount of time or at all without her ability. "That was a decent run. You may return to the wall. Who would like to go next?"

[Varicke]

@KatherinWinter

Kiiros hid behind the others.

[Carlsberg]

@KatherinWinter

Jen stepped forward, taking a breath.
"I'll go," She said calmly.

[GingerBoi123]

@Carlsberg

Damien turned and smiled at Jen, giving her a thumbs up. "You got this, girl!" Damien said, encouragingly.

[KatherinWinter]

@Carlsberg
The scientist nods. He indicates to the course. He wrote her name down and got out his stop watch. "Alright. Ready."

[Carlsberg]

@GingerBoi123

Jen smiled at him.
"Thanks," She said, before making her way to the starting line.
