Super Hero High: Prometheus Rising (IC, Open)

[Altruistic Paladins]

Bramwell and Sakura

"Sir, uh, Mister Malik, I heard everything loud and clear," Sakura said while waiting for Cassie's response, taking attention before relaxing. She was not used to addressing authority figures in such a manner.

"Yes Mister Malik," Bramwell said in a chipper manner. He enjoyed the thought of helping people, and so did not hesitate to repeat the circumstances as Burton did. With his left hand padded and outstretched, he proceeded to touch the hand of Jay with the padded hand. "I presume that you remember what to do? Two punches to the pad and then duck. I am ready when you are," Bramwell said in a calm, if more stoic voice. His arm was prepared to take the strike.

[Terintania]

When Jay's first fist had almost glanced off of the pad Burton had considered moving forward a bit to give him less of a reach issue.

The second punch however was better, meaning he was learning to adjust and quickly, a good sign, and when he finally ducked he swung the padded hand overhead at a decent speed, cutting it close to his head so he could hear the rustling of the air moving around the pad and the displacement against his skin and hair.
"Alright stand back up Jay."

When the tall lanky young man did he patted him on the shoulder, hopefully as a sign of encouragement.
"That's what I want you to work on, getting the feel for distances and listening for that sort of movement. It's only day one so there's plenty of time to work on it....but since you'll need to observe what else I'm doing..."

Burton gently pulled back on the weighted vests' collar to look at the identification number.

"I'll disable it for demonstrations. Other than that, you learn how to fight 'blind'. Funnily enough that probably will make you more effective than some people with their sight."

Burton turned to address Sakura and Bramwell.

"Sakura, Bramwell, I hope you two were paying attention, because one of you will be working with him on this."
Before leaving Burton put a hand on Jays back and spoke softly for only him to hear.

"If you ever want to work on anything in this class and need help, shoot me an email, I'll help you when I can. You can do this."
Moving along Burton sidled between different groups, querying few techniques and making sure a few "millers" actually practiced something rather than stood around.
It didn't take long however to spy the odd person out. In this case it was Caitlin who seemed to be milling around at the edges, waiting for direction.

When Burton swung his hand with the pad on it over Jay's head, he flinched, and it seemed like the only thing that kept him from falling over completely out of alarm was the fact that he trusted Burton. Either that or he just had a strong enough will not to. He obediently stood back up when Burton said to, smiling at him when he patted him on the shoulder.

"Ok," Jay said when Burton said that's what he wanted him to work on. He just kind of looked confused when Burton checked the identification code on his vest, because he really couldn't tell what he was doing. "Really?" He asked when Burton said it would probably make him more effective then some sighted people.

He nodded slightly hesitantly when Burton told him to send him an email and he would help when he could. "Thanks....But, sending Emails isn't exactly easy when you can't see what you're typing," He said it in a lighthearted way to show he wasn't being bitter about it,"But I'll find some way to get a message to you if I have to. And thanks for your help." He then turned toward Bramwell's voice when he heard him talk.

He gave a nod. He jokingly thought that it would have been pretty skillful to forget what he was supposed to do already, but didn't say anything about it. He stretched his arm out so Bramwell could show him where he was supposed to hit, then tilted his head when he did. "You probably shouldn't have your arm completely straight. I can't tell if you do, just saying," He said, then closed his eyes, as if it would make a difference, then punched the pad twice, this time doing them both not great, but not bad, then ducking. This time, when he ducked, he kind of fell down on one knee, but it was hard to tell if he was having balance issues again, or if he had meant to do that.

[Kershya]

"Where did you go?" Shade asked Gregorio as they start fighting the dummies, with Tobias just watching due to the fact the vest might cause unwanted problems with his mind and two bodies. Without their powers, Shade can only beat up the dummy, while Gregorio, using the random memories of earlier replays in defeating the dummy.

"The restroom. So, want to spar?" Gregorio asked. Shade nodded with a rather twisted smile and a mad glint in his eyes, which worries Gregorio even more. While Gregorio use multiple forms of martial arts, dancing and performing arts like ballet, tango and acrobatics, Shade simply fight dirty, using anything nearby. The mad look in Shade's eyes became even more noticeable as the scelera goes black.

Duchy of Night

The corruption has spread even further now, Antonio now have a sharp horns, a small snout, very sharp and numerous teeth, and glowing dark purple eyes. The corruption is now spread down, from the shoulders.

Duchy of Night

Peter Sanchez return to Antonio with the book.

"I have found the book, my liege."

"Good. Have you ever feel some sort of connection in you?"

"I don't know what you mean, my liege."

"Well, I feel it, some strange bond with something, or someone. It turns out I can put my influence on this bond. If this being believes he can become immortal through this bond, let's see what my influence can do to them." Antonio said with a mad look and a wide grin that shows his numerous sharp teeth.

---

'I don't like that mad look.' Gregorio thought as what looks like black mist starts to come out of Shade's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Tobias' eyes widen at the scene.

"Tobias! Get help!" Greg shouted, to which Toby agreed and run off.

"Shade! We should stop!" Greg's plea fall to deaf ears as Shade continues to fight. 'Thank God for the power suppressors. I don't want to know what might happen without it.' He thought as he continues to dodge Shade's attacks using martial arts, dances, exercises, and sport routines. 'I can't keep this up. [expletive] this body. I don't have the right body, and using the memories of my previous replays and this vest is giving me such a headache. Shade's just looking like he'll just beat me to the pulp and snap my neck.' Greg thought as he continues to dodge Shade's attacks, which starts to become more and more insane and desperate.

Tobias is getting anyone help, using both his bodies. The Toby at the gym goes to the people he notice Greg talk to earlier. While the Toby back at the dorm room goes out and starts looking for help there.

"Hey! There's something wrong with Antonio, or Shade, never mind the name, there's something wrong there!" Toby nearly shouted to Bramwell, Makoto, Sakura, and anyone else at the group.

[Altruistic Paladins]

Bramwell, Makoto, and Sakura

"My muscle memory is not as poor as my short-term memory. I would hope my body remembered that during training, or else I would have to start a counter for the number of times I end up in the hospital," Bramwell said in the same calm voice Bramwell had already kept his arm at an obtuse angle. Bramwell was more worried about his own short term memory than Jay's. The hits landed in a well manner and were good. He delivered a punch to the air several inches from Jay's head as Jay ducked, the punch not recieving the benefit of an one-hundred degree rotation. "Nice job, though you may want to work on your ducking action," Bramwell calmy said. Several moments later, Bramwell, Makoto, and Sakura all heard the scream. At that moment, Sakura ran over. "Jay, would you allow a small break for a moment?" Bramwell asked.

"What is wrong?" Sakura asked as she ran over, thinking that Antonio had just accidentally injured himself.

[Kershya]

Bramwell, Makoto, and Sakura
"What is wrong?" Sakura asked as she ran over, thinking that Antonio had just accidentally injured himself.

"Like the hell I know. First Antonio and Gregorio we're practicing on the dummies, then Greg ask for a spar and Anton accepted, and now Antonio's trying to kill Greg and some crazy black smoke's coming out of his head!" Tobias said to the group.

There was a pause at the fighting as Gregorio starts to hyperventilate while the smoke coming out of Shade starts to get thicker. Greg decides to run but Antonio throw something at his leg to cause him to fall.

[Nfhd]

Will sighed as the girl walked of without responding, he probably have to let her seethe for a bit before he could properly apologies. He then walked over and picked up one of the vests put it on, his part of concentration which he had always revered for his cooling technique and sensory bubble was now freed up as he felt vulnerable for the first time years, he started to feel his body heat to begin to climb, he would have to do something about that soon, but for now he had to find a partner and start training with them. He scanned the gym for people who didn't have pairs, he saw that there was one girl who had distanced herself from the others. He walked up to her.

"Hey would it be okay if I partner up with you?" Will asked with his upbeat tone.

[Altruistic Paladins]

Bramwell, Makoto, and Sakura

Sakura immediately went to help Gregorio up and continue his evacuation, carrying him to the infirmary if necessary. It was at this time that she really wanted teleportation, because she was not wanting to be near a fight, especially when the attacker is exhaling an ominous mist. Adrenaline being released, she ran to him to get him back on his feet or just carry him if he cannot move. Makoto was really hating what was happening at that point. She had severe trouble using telekinesis in her current state, and was incapable doing much of anything.

"I am sorry, but I have to resolve this quickly. Please excuse me while I make room for your sub-plot," Bramwell said in a joking manner as he excused himself.

[Northern Dominus]

The second the smoke came into his view Burton immedietly dropped any pretense of carrying on. The smoke was familiarly acrid and foreign, meaning there was another potential invasion en route.

However this time it wasn't untold numbers of shadowy underlings, instead it was Antonio smoking from every orifice on his face. Generally that wasn't a good thing.

Before he could start making a move over to him and ask if there was anything seriously wrong (after all, some superpowers came with strange but mostly side effects, better to ask rather than to assume), Sakura had rushed to his side. It was also evident that this wasn't normal for Antonio and was clearly distressing him.

Looking over at Sean he waved to the rest of the class.
"Keep them busy, I'll take care of Antonio."
Before jogging over to the wall-mounted comms panel and accessing the general emergency frequency.
"Medical team needed on Deck 3, gymnasium. Repeat medical team needed on deck 3 gymnasium."

Then running over to Antonio's side, gently hooking a forearm under his shoulder and one behind his back.
"Easy there Antonio, just sit down nice and easy. Sakura get his other arm, help him down. Gregorio, Tobias calm down, give him some space.

Are you okay besides the smoking? Any pain, discomfort, nausea?"

[Altruistic Paladins]

Bramwell, Makoto, and Sakura

At the time Burton had told Sean to keep the students busy, Sakura was still trying to help Gregorio while Bramwell joined Sakura's attempts to help Gregorio. At the moment, they were just focused on delivering Gregorio to the infirmary before Makoto was able to hear of the medical team, letting Bramwell know to just help him up should he have no serious injuries. Sakura was confused and stressed. She was fearful of fights, and wanted to get out as much as Gregorio had. Bramwell was potraying himself as emotionless, though that was not the case. When word for Sakura to help had arrived, she already did not like the prospect of involving herself in a fight. The way Burton described it helped, as he made it resemble a medical problem more than a fight. When Bramwell noticed that Sakura did not respond, he tried to help.

"Sakura, they need your help. I can help that person just fine. Antonio and Burton need your help," Bramwell said in the calmest and most professional tone he could muster in the circumstances. After several seconds, Sakura nodded before she got back up and ran over to help Burton restrain Antonio, imitating him so as to avoid complaints if something went wrong.

[Corrian]

Caitlin saw Burton approach, and she hoped she wasn't in trouble or anything. And to her relief, she didn't seem to be. She only thought she might be in trouble for not getting in a group or something.

"I guess. I don't really know anybody, surprisingly. I'm usually the social type. So I was just waiting for someone to ask if they wanted to t-" She said, and cut herself off at the arrival of Will, to which she had to chuckle to herself slightly. "Team up with me" She finished her sentence, looking at Will. "Yeah, sure" She said, smiling at him. "I was just talking to our teacher about how I was waiting for someone to ask to team up" She said, chuckling again. "Then you arrive and ask me t-" She said, cutting herself off again when she realized, yet again, that Antonio, or Shade, or whoever he was at the moment, was having issues again. But since Burton and others seemed to take care of the situation quickly, she just watched in concern, not wanting to get in the way.

Cassie
Cassie had been distracted again. Before Tara could really give her an answer, Antonio had some issues again, like what had apparently happened in the Gym. Except without the shadowy figures this time, to her relief, because those rather scared her. Thankfully the one she encountered had poofed before her or Tyler got hurt. This time he seemed to be....smoking. Whatever his issues were, they seemed rather....strange. She didn't really understand what his ability was. It acted like some form of magic, which confused her even more. Superpowers being real was weird enough to her, but now magic was real as well? She didn't know what to think. And since everyone seemed to have it covered, she just stayed where she was, like Caitlin, and watched nervously at what was going on, and started to absentmindedly bite her fingernails while watching.

[Procastitania]

Declan, who had been practicing alone on the dummy, paused when he saw Caitlin and Will talking at the edge of the classroom. He was vaguely aware of something dramatic and actiony going on with another group, but he decided to leave them alone and talk to the groupless students. "Hey!" he yelled to get their attention. "You two can join up with me if you need a dummy."

[Camicon]

"Sure, Cassie," I said to her, when she asked if it was OK for her to practice with Sakura. "It's not like I'm your mother or something. You don't need my permission to do group stuff without me." I didn't think she heard me, however, because at that moment one other student started yelling something about 'Antonio' having some sort of meltdown. The fact that we were in the same room as last time 'Antonio' had a little... episode... didn't do anything to put me at ease.

Knowing what I did about 'Antonio', hearing that made me rightfully worried. I stopped practicing with (random NPC) one of my classmates, and walked slightly towards where 'Antonio' looked like he was trying to kill that Greg-character that followed him around everywhere. When the acrid smell of the smoke that seemed to be billowing from 'Antonio's' head hit my nose, I curled one fist around the end of one of my fighting sticks, though I didn't draw it. The entire scene felt eerily similar to last time, when a great dirty dragon and some legions of his minions materialized out of a familiar looking cloud of smoke. I didn't intend to be caught off guard by any more inter-dimensional Purple-Things, like last time. I would refrain from the lesson, until I was sure that the school wasn't in danger of being boarded by another fire-spewing monster with his hordes of sword-wielding henchmen.

[Spirit of Hope]

Dominic nodded at Ocean and sat down at the table. While picking at his scrambled eggs he wondered what bad memory had made the other man look so sad, but it seemed that few were spared from personal tragedy during the war. Trying to avert his mind from such dark thoughts he instead started going over his schedule for the day while waiting for Ocean to return.

Ocean quickly grabbed some breakfast, toast and some scrambled eggs with orange juice to drink. After a couple of years walking with a cane he had become a master of balancing trays with one hand. Slowly he worked his way back to the table that Dominic was sitting at. Sitting down he arrayed his food in front of him, looking back at Dominic a question formed in his mind.

"You mentioned problem children, anyone to terrible that I should look out for?"

[Nfhd]

Will looked over to where Catlin was looking and he saw a boy who was struggling against the grip of burton and some others who were holding him down.

"Normally I would do something about that, but since they seem to have it under control, I'm just going to ignore that and go get the punching pads" Will said as he began walking over to the area with the punching pads. He picked them up and started to return to where Catlin was standing when Declan called out for him and Catlin to join him on the dummy.

"I think the dummies are for a single person to use, but the punching pads take two people to use so I think we are using these." He yelled back. He walked up to Catlin.

"I'll start with the punching pads, so you punch them. Are you ready?" He asked in his regular upbeat tone.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

Sarah had arrived early to Burton's class, with only a peculiar habit of waking up early to thank for it. She had been listening to Burton's instructions and watching the demonstrations carefully. This had not been the first self-defense class she had attended to, as the previous year in the Academy there had been another self-defense instructor, though his temper was infinitely worse than Burton's, as far as she could remember.

When they were told to team up in order to practice a bit, Sarah went to one of the training dummies and began performing some of the techniques she had learned the previous year. She was by no means a fearsome combatant, but she was at least a decently skilled one. The vests made things slightly more difficult, though, not because the lack of power disoriented her, but the weight did, if only slightly.

After a while, she looked around and noticed that Jay had been left without a practice partner. She walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "It looks like Bramwell's busy. Do you want me to help?" She said, taking the punching pads.

---

Raymond, on the other hand, arrived just in time only because of a loud alarm and a physical condition that allowed him to run pretty fast. Thankfully, he arrived just before Burton initiated the demonstrations. Though panting, he paid attention to them, thinking that it wouldn't hurt to learn some more refined techniques.

Once the students were instructed to practice, Raymond walked over to the back of the room and took one of the vests, putting it on. The supression of his power didn't disorient him as it seemed to do with many other people. He had never relied on his powers too much, which explained why they were somewhat weak compared to others' at least thus far. However, it did give him a familiar feeling. He didn't like it, for reasons unrelated to his powers, but he could deal with it, and could handle the vest far better than some of his classmates.

After standing by idly for a while and thinking about these things, Raymond snapped back to reality, not wanting Burton to scold him or anything, and went to look for a partner to practice with. The first person he bumped into was a girl that seemed to be always bored and for some reason was hyper now. He almost didn't recognize her and didn't understand what was going on with her, but he figured he might as well try.

"Want to practice together?" He asked her.

He almost didn't recognize her and didn't understand what was going on with her, but he figured he might as well try.

"Want to practice together?" He asked her.

Jay had agreed with Bramwell that he needed to work on his dodging, but couldn't respond much before he noticed someone calling for help. He nodded to Bramwell, then listened, trying to figure out what was going on. He was a bit alarmed, but he could tell that not everyone was panicking, so he figured it wasn't anything that he should be like, running for his life from.

He just kind of stood there, unsure of what to do, when Sarah came over. He jumped at her voice and her tapping him on the shoulder, and kind of spun to face her. When he realized it was her, though, he smiled. "Sorry for being jumpy. Sure, at least until Bramwell gets back. Did you see what Burton and Bramwell were doing?" He was pretty much just asking if she saw what they were doing that worked to help him.

(Charlotte)
Charlotte had kind of been wondering who would want to be her partner when Raymond came over. She looked him up and down, then said,"I guess. As long as I get to beat things up, I'll team up with anyone." She looked around, then said,"are we gonna use the pads, or a dummy?" She seemed maybe a little to excited about beating stuff up for comfort.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

When Jay jumped Sarah took a step back to give him some space. When he calmed down and asked her whether or not she had seen what Burton and Bramwell were doing with him, she nodded. "Yes, I saw how they helped you practice." She said, putting on the punching pads. "Ready?" She asked, standing more or less on the same spot Bramwell had stood on before in order not to mess up Jay's sense of distance. "I'm ready." She said once she was in the right position, both to tell him that he could start, and to let her voice tell him where she was standing in case he didn't notice.

---

When Charlotte agreed to be his partner, Raymond felt relieved that he didn't need to look for a partner for long. When she asked whether they would be using the punching pads or the dummies, Raymond shrugged. "Either is fine, though I think the pads are probably more convenient. Do you want to hit first? I don't mind, but I want my turn." He said in response to her, and then waited for her answer.

[Hetland 2]

Sean nodded to Burt and headed back into the class, he raised his voice, shouting out to them, "Keep up the good work everyone. Everyone focus on your partner please." His arm hissed and released more steam as he boredly looked around the room. Everyone seemed to be practicing except for one student, his little sister, Chram, who was sitting against the wall. He sighed and walked over to her, "Chram, please go join a group."
She shook her head. Sean sighed and picked her up, his prosthetic doing most of the work. "Miss. Chapel. Join a group. Now." Chram looked at her older brother and nodded sheepishly, and headed in looking for a group.

[Terintania]

When Jay jumped Sarah took a step back to give him some space. When he calmed down and asked her whether or not she had seen what Burton and Bramwell were doing with him, she nodded. "Yes, I saw how they helped you practice." She said, putting on the punching pads. "Ready?"

I don't mind, but I want my turn." He said in response to her, and then waited for her answer.

"Alright," Jay said, trying to get a good idea of where she was. There was a slight pause after she asked if he was ready, then he nodded. He stuck his hand out in front of him until he felt it touch the pad, then punched it. This time, he only hit the edge of the pad both times, though his duck was better.

(Charlotte)
"I think all the dummies are taken, anyway," She said, smirking at a thought that popped into her mind, but she didn't say it out loud. When he asked if she wanted to hit first, she said,"Yes," rather bluntly. She went over and got some pads, then came back and handed them to Raymond. "Any ideas what we should practice?"

[Camicon]

Chram looked at her older brother and nodded sheepishly, and headed in looking for a group.

Once it seemed like Burton had 'Antonio' under control, and the danger of the gym being turned into an multi-dimensional battlefield was no longer immediately present, I relaxed and went to look for my partner again. Only to find, however, that he had joined another group in my absence. Can't say I really blamed him, although it now put me in the uncomfortable position of having nobody to practice with. Quickly scanning the class, I saw nobody that else was in the same boat as I... except for... yes, it looked like, Chram (was that her name? I couldn't fully recall) was down a partner as well. I wasted no time, grabbing a pair of sparring pads and walking over towards her. I seemed to recall the Chram lived in the villain dorm, but for the life of me, couldn't recall her doing anything overtly (or covertly) nasty. Of course, it could simply be that she was biding her time.

"Chram, you need a partner?" I asked her, when I was close enough for her to hear me, without my shouting.

[Corrian]

Cassie smiled faintly, then looked at the ground. "I just wasn't sure if you wanted to team with me...or what..." She commented quietly, and looked back up. "See you later" She said to Tara. For now, she just got some punching pads for their fighting, and just waited for Sakura to get back for the time being. To what Sean said, she said, "I'm just waiting for Sakura to get back..", but there was a chance that being her, she said it too quiet for him to hear.

Caitlin
Caitlin nodded to him. "Same here. But overcrowding is sometimes worse then helping. And he's getting plenty of help, and if I joined, I'd probably just overcrowd them and get in the way at this point" She said to Will, and let out a sigh at the whole thing. Poor Antonio seemed to have a lot of weird problems, and she felt bad for him. Hopefully one day things would get better for him.

"Hey, it's okay. We can go over with...Declan was his name I think? Too many names to remember. Anyway, we can go over there, even if it's just to talk to him while we practice. I've noticed he's seemed alone a lot, and he probably needs company" She told Will in response to what he said. She gave Will a nod, and started to walk over to where Declan is.

"We can all take turns with the dummy and punching pads for practice. What you guys think?" Caitlin asked both Declan and Will. She wanted to get them both involved. It gave them a chance to all socialize and practice at the same time. She was definitely interested in practicing, but socializing was definitely a plus for her right now too. Honestly, she was disappointed with herself and the lack of socializing since she got here, so this was a good opportunity for at least SOME socializing.

To Sean, she just gave him a nod of understanding, pretty much trying to indicate that they were about ready to start their own fighting, if Declan and Will accepted her idea's.

[Hetland 2]

Chram looked at her older brother and nodded sheepishly, and headed in looking for a group.

Of course, it could simply be that she was biding her time.

"Chram, you need a partner?" I asked her, when I was close enough for her to hear me, without my shouting.

Chram turned around with a start obviously not expecting anyone to actually ask her. Or at least so soon. As soon as she paused, biting her finger for a second before nodding to Tara, "Tara... I'd be fine with it if you're fine with me."
Chram was a little bit on edge but Tara was a nice enough girl, she seemed to have a mild prejudice against mechanical life forms but Chram was no different with the thoughts on the majority of biological life. She patted her cheeks and took a deep breath, Chram's normal demeanor coming back, "Would you like to hit first or shall I?"

Will thought for a second then he hit his face as he sighed in exasperation wondering why he didn't think of it.

"Thats a great idea!" He yelled with enthusiasm. He began to walk over to Declan, he found a spot near him and he waited for Catlin to come over, he hoped Declan would approve of them working nearby him.

Once it seemed like Burton had 'Antonio' under control, and the danger of the gym being turned into an multi-dimensional battlefield was no longer immediately present, I relaxed and went to look for my partner again. Only to find, however, that he had joined another group in my absence. Can't say I really blamed him, although it now put me in the uncomfortable position of having nobody to practice with. Quickly scanning the class, I saw nobody that else was in the same boat as I... except for... yes, it looked like, Chram (was that her name? I couldn't fully recall) was down a partner as well. I wasted no time, grabbing a pair of sparring pads and walking over towards her. I seemed to recall the Chram lived in the villain dorm, but for the life of me, couldn't recall her doing anything overtly (or covertly) nasty. Of course, it could simply be that she was biding her time.

"Chram, you need a partner?" I asked her, when I was close enough for her to hear me, without my shouting.

Chram turned around with a start obviously not expecting anyone to actually ask her. Or at least so soon. As soon as she paused, biting her finger for a second before nodding to Tara, "Tara... I'd be fine with it if you're fine with me."
Chram was a little bit on edge but Tara was a nice enough girl, she seemed to have a mild prejudice against mechanical life forms but Chram was no different with the thoughts on the majority of biological life. She patted her cheeks and took a deep breath, Chram's normal demeanor coming back, "Would you like to hit first or shall I?"

"Of course I'm fine with you. I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't. Anyways, I've 'fought' for most of my life without any sort of powers. You go first. Punching pads, without being able to toss the pad holder across the gym, is sort of old hat for me." I settled onto the balls of my feet, in front of Chram. Holding the pads out, my elbows bent slightly.

"So," I said, as Chram prepared herself, "What's up with you, that Will kid, and the teacher over there?" I thought I'd seen the kid called Will harassing Chram before the class started, and the teacher intervening in a somewhat familiar manner on Chram's behalf. Which was extremely odd, as I thought I'd recalled seeing Will around in the hero dorms. Or maybe outside the Vigilante's. Either way, a strange reversal of roles there, a non-villain going after a villain. Though, I chided myself, I'd gone after the vampire when I'd seen him. Certainly there was some context I was missing, in Chram's interaction with Will, however.

Chram threw a few punches varying her targets, each time however hitting dead center of the pad. "Will... The fucker scanned my internal systems or something and expects me to forgive his 'intelligence' gathering just like that. I mean, seriously! How would you like it if you're getting ready for class and some sick fucker comes up to you and says "I've noticed that you have a strange amount of organs" or some shit like that! ERG! It makes me furious!" She threw a flurry of punches battering the pads before she stopped to let Tara take off the pads and for her to put them on.

She took a breath and settled into the proper position for holding the pads. "To answer the second part of that question, the TA over there is my older brother, Sean. And before you ask, no, he's flesh and blood just like you. Well... except for his arm that is."
