Traveled Down the Road and Back Again

Postby Katarina Karkov » Fri Mar 09, 2018 7:48 pm

Now that the university wasn't actively falling apart, Katarina was taking the opportunity to explore.

The Rec Center, she had to admit, was in some ways more impressive than the equivalent facilities back home -- they were more spartan, more functional. These seemed more luxurious and relaxing; a product of capitalist excess! or, uh, something. Very interesting.

She poked her head in and around, seeing who was around and getting her general bearings.

The princess was treated to the sight of a shirtless Chase pulling himself up a salmon ladder. Better late than never.

This was a sight to see, and Katarina rested up against a wall watching Chase's back muscles, and also a little bit of Chase.

Chase made his way back down and dropped to the floor. He began a post-exercise stretch of his back and arms, glistening with sweat. If it weren't for the tattoos and all the scars, male stripper could be his backup career if putting arrows in things falls through.

"Mind if I step in for a set, friend?" Aiden asked politely (class didn't exist on the gym floor in Aiden's mind) walking up to the salmon ladder. He was also shirtlesslike perhaps it was a theme for men at the University? Or maybe Aiden simply enjoyed showing off his well-toned physique? A question for the ages. Aiden had a few tattoos on his arms, on one shoulder his family crest and on the other shoulder a military unit symbol of some kind. He had fewer scars than Chase, generally because his mutation prevented most all bodily harm.

Aiden looked over at Katarina and smiled slightly.

""Seems you've got yourself an admirer?" Aiden asked taking a moment to stretch, no point breaking oneself right away. "Can't say I'm not impressed. Didn't expect many here to take physical training seriously."

"And what would those be?" Nika asks from where she's stepped into the room. She's wearing a simple tanktop and calf-length leggings along with the odd metal rods strapped to her forearms and lower legs. She is staring daggers at Chase. Or rather at his bare torso.

Chase looked down towards his chest then back at Nika with a concerned, questioning look.

Nika's answer, if it can be called that, is to lift her arms to be parallel with the ground and suddenly rush towards Chase with a speed and acceleration that's well beyond a regular person breaking into a sprint. At the last possible moment she pulls her arms back and tries to shoulder-check into Chase, letting her body get carried by the momentum.

Chase's abilities barely had a chance to kick in before the bodyguard was on him. As such, he only managed to move enough to reduce the impact enough to allow him to recover into a very ninja-like crouch after sliding back several feet.

Nika does not, in fact, give him a chance to explain. She spins around before coming to a sudden stop and somehow throwing a punch from the opposite direction of what her momentum had been before and with surprising speed for such a sudden reversal.

Chase reacted more effectively this time, catching her arm and attempting to turn the momentum of the punch into fuel for a throw. She was too capable to merely avoid.

Unfortunately for Chase, her arm seems to be on a pretty set trajectory, so trying to deflect it into a throw fails spectacularly when the punch just carries through. He manages to hurt her arm, but the metal brace is fixing it along a set trajectory and connects the punch with Chase's face. Nika keeps stumbling past Chase afterwards, taking just a bit too long to have her power dissipate from the arm-brace.

Chase's training, as it so happens, did not prepare him for that and he spins to the floor in a semi-conscious, bloody-nosed heap.

"Who paid you!" Nika demands, standing over Chase and trying hard not to let the bruise forming on her arm distract her. She has her fist pulled back and is standing over Chase in a wide-legged stance as if she's ready to punch, but her arm is shaking a little, even if it's currently being held in place by the charged arm-brace.
