Tension Rising - Main thread [Fight or Flight]

"I thought it was weird that I'd never met one." Fox muttered,"Seems insulting to real wolves. I lived with a pack for a while and they only hunt for food and only take what they need." She sighed remembering the snow pack and how much fun she had with them."By the way, since we're asking "oddball questions" Whats that scent that you keep mixing with yours?"

Sen Harper


Sen nodded slightly then let out a shaky sigh before pulling back some from his chest regaining her composure for the most part. She blushed softly when she realized she was sitting on his lap and a lot closer than she normally wanted to be around anyone. "I'm fine now though..." she muttered softly starting to feel awkward about the whole situation. "Perhaps we should get off the roof though before we get in trouble." She suggested before trying to get up, unfortunately her legs hadn't quiet recovered and gave out as she tried to stand.
 
Gray nodded a bit and helped her up, catching her before she could fall. "Good idea... The only way I know how is to jump, though. I don't know if you want to do that just yet." he said with a small frown.


He started to look around for another way down, knowing that if they chose the doors they'd have to get down several floors quickly to avoid getting in trouble for setting off the alarms.

Zach shrugged a little. "Well, werewolves can't really help it. When they turn, they go completely feral." he said, tilting his head a bit at her question. He smiled a little, pulling the pack of cigarettes out.


"Cigarettes. Basically just tobacco wrapped up in paper. I was going to smoke another one when you came over, but I figured the smell would be too strong and might bother you."

Nikolas


Nikolas was on his way to the obstacle course and get things ready. It was a nice bright and sunny day, everyone was safe, happy and eating their breakfast, Nikolas had already had his breakfast, this time it was a western omelet but it was less than spectacular. As he took a moment to look around campus he noted two students, one of them being Sen up on top of a roof, sighing, Nikolas teleported to the very roof everything on his person teleporting with him but the tea itself. When he was on the roof he looked between the students before talking to them. "Greetings Sen and friend why would you be up here?" He asked attempting to take a sip of hot tea not realizing that the tea was now spilled on the ground. He frowned at the mug and hooked it onto a spot on his belt before looking back to them. "You are aware the roof is off limits, right?"


@Alex Phalin


@Shura
 
"Huh, I recognize this plant," Fox said, "Seen it a couple of times before, why one would smoke it I have no idea. Whatever though. You can go ahead and light it up, my nose is sensitive but I can filter." She yawned and stretched, making herself comfortable in her seat. "You know what we're doing today?" She asked as she reclined.


@Alex Phalin
 
Sen Harper


She managed to find her footing and stand on her own. she gnawed on her bottom lip lightly looking towards the door to the roof. It was no doubt locked with only staff able to unlock it. She looked over the edge of the building not exactly wanting to just jump down either. "I rather not jump..." she muttered softly before hearing a metal twang and looking over to see Nikolas a few feet away not exactly looking pleased. "Yes.... We know..." she muttered softly.
 
Gray was deep in thought when another voice suddenly spoke, causing him to jump, his knives suddenly in hand as he turned to face him. Once he saw that it was a teacher he calmed down, putting his blades away.


"Uh... Yes, sir. I was showing Sen my abilities, and my momentum carried me up here... We were just trying to figure out how to get down. I'm sorry..." he said, his eyes firmly locked on the floor.

Zach shrugged a bit and pulled a cigarette from his pack, placing it between his lips. He brought his fingers up to the end and with a crackle of sparks lit it up. He took a long drag and blew it away from her, just to be courteous.


"I have no idea... I wish I knew. Maybe the Grid again? I don't really think I'm in any shape to do it, though."


@theunderwolf
 
Nikolas


Nikolas looked between them and then acted like he was mad at them. After a moment he gave a friendly smile. "Just don't come back up here alright?" He said as he walked towards the door, scanned his staff ID and the door unlocked with a click. "Just tell me your name." He said looking at the student Sen was with. "And promise me you won't come back up here, I hate punishing students and I know you guys hate being punished." He looked back towards Sen realizing he never gave her his feedback on the grid run. "And Sen, I am proud of you for trying the grid run, I don't suggest doing the grid run again until you are fully healed." After taking a quick look at Sen's leg to see how it was a thought occured Nikolas. "How in the blazes did you two get up here anyway?"


@Shura


@Alex Phalin
 
Sen Harper


Sen was relived when Nikolas smiled and nodded looking over to Grays direction. "We won't" She replied softly. She looked back to Nikolas as he mentioned her run in the Grid and smiled slightly "Thanks, I didn't plan on it. But I got my leg patched up at one of the clinics so it shouldn't give me any more trouble." She informed. She was happy she had gotten her leg fixed up, it was nice not walking around in pain all the time.
 
Gray scratched his head sheepishly, smiling a little.


"My name is Grayson. It was my fault that we're up here, sir. My power is speed, and she was asking what it was like... I promise I won't do it again." he said with a little smile. He was glad that he wasn't going to get in trouble, at least this time. He'd have to make a mental note not to run up the walls again.


@Godman873 @Shura
 
Fox took a minute before speaking again, smelling the odd scent of Zach's cigarette. "See, no problem." She said, though to herself she made a note to avoid smoking when possible "And I never heard the story behind that side wound, How's it healing by the way?" Yesterday it had looked pretty nasty to her, and she hoped he hadn't done anything to reopen it.


@Alex Phalin
 
Zach smiled a bit, shrugging. "It's healing slower than I'd like. The healers at the clinic could only do so much." he said, tugging up his shirt for a moment. He didn't think he reopened it, but he didn't check when he woke up either.


"I'm still sore, probably will be for a while... It was when the school got attacked. Those damn midgets with knives..." he said, sighing. "I got surrounded by them. I tried to fight them off, and I got a bunch of them, but one of them got me in the side."


@theunderwolf
 
Nikolas


Nikolas looked to Gray and nodded. "Alright, as long as you did not come up here on purpose it is completely fine." Turning back to Sen, Nikolas was glad her leg was healed. "Nice to know that your leg is healed Sen, it should make the obstacle course easier to run through. Also, if you ever want help with training just find me and ask, I am always willing to help those who ask for it." Nikolas teleported away, they both seemed like innocent students just wanting to learn and he hoped they would come to him for help, there was nothing more satisfying than helping someone master their powers further.


@Shura


@Alex Phalin
 
"Oh yeah those guys.' Fox grinned with no little amount of bloodlust in her eyes, "They were fun, I only got a couple scratches and they were reaaal easy to kill. I would've gotten more but this girl, Madison, got a knife in her leg and I had to fix that up for her. Sucks about getting surrounded though. You can probably guess that thats a problem I''ve never had, hehe." She ended with a psychotic little giggle.


@Alex Phalin
 
Sen Harper


Sen nodded "Thank you, I'll keep that in mind." She replied before the teacher teleported away. She sighed softly as he started down the stairs. She was happy they had lucked out in getting one of the more understanding teachers instead of someone who would have yelled at them. She looked over to Gray "We'' we lucked out that time." She smiled slightly over to gray. "So apparently we are doing an obstetrical coarse." She smirked slightly, "Should be an easy run for you then."
 
"Yeah we did... I'll make sure we don't make that mistake again." he said with a little smile, watching Sen for a moment. He scratched his head and tried to hide the blush on his face.


"Obstacle course? Should be fun... Then again, you should do just fine as well. You can lift metal, right?" he asked, watching her for a moment as they walked down the stairs.


"Maybe you could use a metal disc or something to fly around. Or put metal in your shoes..." he said, thinking.


"Then again, I could just be crazy, thinking about stuff like that."


@Shura

Zach listened for a few moments, sighing a little. He wouldn't come out and say it, but he was a little freaked out by her bloodlust.


"Uh, yeah... I guess you wouldn't have that problem, with the transformation thing. I'm not that good." he admitted with a little smile.


@theunderwolf
 
Sen Harper


Sen nodded slightly with a small smirk "I'm decent at running so I won't do too badly." She chuckled. She frowned slightly at his suggestion and looked forward again continuing down the stairs. "I.. tried that once and it didn't exactly go well." She muttered. "It's kind of why I'm terrified of heights. I tried using an old garbage can and mimic what other super heroes have done. But... I kinda lost control and went too high. It felt great fir a few seconds then I looked won and freaked out. Ended up falling and broke my arm in two places." She looked over to Gray. "I haven't really tried since really..."
 
"Whoa Zach, don't talk like that pack-mate! So you got a little injured, so did everyone! Listen to me, you can use lightning." She said with conviction, "I have transformed into a ton of animals, and lived with more and I have never met a creature that doesn't treat lightning with fear. I'm pretty sure theirs a good reason for that." She turned and gave him a big smile, "And I'm just bragging, really its kinda a custom in the forest to brag about your kills, ya know, attracts mates-" fox cut off suddenly and blushed bright red.


@Alex Phalin
 
Gray frowned a bit. "Well... I guess that explains it. Maybe we could work on that some, if you want." he offered with a little smile. "I mean, getting over a fear like that isn't going to be easy at all... but you're strong enough to do it." he smiled a bit, walking with her.


"Again, I'm sorry... I didn't know it would freak you out that much."


@Shura

Zach nodded and chuckled a little bit, watching her with interest. "You know, somehow you managed to make me sound like less of a failure." he said, taking a drag off his cigarette. His eye went wide at what she said about mates and he choked, coughing on the smoke for a long few moments. After a while the coughing calmed, staring at her with a red face.


"I... uh... I see." he said, scratching his head. He couldn't help but grin a little though.


"So, do you mean anything by that?" he asked quietly, watching her with interest. Sure, he was interested in her, but he had been wondering if the feeling was mutual.


@theunderwolf
 
Sen Harper


"Yeah... maybe..." Sen muttered softly not really confident in her ability to try and over come her phobia. "It's okay... you didn't know. It's not something I thought would be need to be brought up." She replied softly with a slight shrug. "It was pretty cool... Kind of felt like a roller coaster but i know what you mean now by it being hard to breath." She smiled a bit.
 
Fox was beginning to look redder than her namesake, "Um...I um.."She stuttered, At a loss for words. She admitted to herself that she liked him , Like, really liked him. But didn't know what to say or what to do in this situation. "Well I think that uh..." She continued to stutter feeling like a deer in the headlights of a car. "Ahem your definitely the kind of person someone would want to attract but I don't think..."Fox gleaned new insight into the term fight or flight, "You wanna see me turn into an eagle?!"


@Alex Phalin
 
"I'm glad you enjoyed it..." he said with a little grin. He still felt bad, but maybe he could help her through her phobia. He went quiet as he walked, having an odd feeling come up in his chest. It wasn't like the one he got when he was comforting her from her panic attack, either... He shook his head and sighed a bit, forcing a smile.


"Wanna go check out the obstacle course?"


@Shura


---


Zach watched her flounder for a few long moments, a tiny smile on his face. It was adorable to see her reaction, and he chuckled a bit at her sudden suggestion of turning into an eagle. As tempting as it was to tell her no and kiss her out of nowhere, he was pretty sure that if he did that he'd cause her to explode.


"Sure, why not?" he said with a little grin. "Also, thanks... Not many people have told me I'd be a good mate."


@theunderwolf
 
Fox sighed and grinned in relief. A romantic relationship (as much as she liked Zach) wasn't high on her to do list and she resolved to open that can of pups and rainbows when she came to it. In the mean time though, eagle. She resolved on a great bald one with an impressive wingspan. Shifting to it with little effort she flew up and gave what others would describe as her best. "Let freedom ring" Cry before gracefully landing in a nearby tree "Pretty cool huh?" She said as she landed,


@Alex Phalin
 
Sen Harper


The two student reached the end of the stairs and exited out into the main floor of the academic building. The halls were starting to fill up with students making their way to class. Sen was a bit worried about what kind of course they were supposed to be running. The last few days had been difficult and the Grid had been the hardest so far. Who the hell knows what kind of hell they were in for. She looked over to Gray as he made the suggestion to check out what awaited them and nodded slightly. "Sure, might as well see what were in for right?" She smirked slightly before starting to head towards the Gym where large course was supposedly waiting for them.
 
Gray nodded in agreement, smiling a bit. "I'm excited, actually... Maybe this is something the both of us will be able to beat." he said, offering a smile as they walked. He rested his hand on his mask, drumming his fingers for a moment in thought.


"Hey, I wanted to ask you something... I overheard that the teachers had one of the rogue metas here. Apparently they captured him. I don't know, I just think that's kinda dangerous..." he said, glancing over at her. "What do you think?"


@Shura

Zach watched her transform and grinned. He took a drag off his cigarette, but there was an odd look in his eye as he watched her. He almost looked sad, if only for a moment.


"That's awesome. You've got a really good grasp on your power." he said, leaning against the wall. He felt a jolt of pain through his side and tried to hide a wince, though he didn't do a good job of it.


"I wish I was that good. I still need a lot of practice..." he sighed a bit, remembering that night at the concert.
