Chase shook his head "Sorry bro, can't do it. My power only works on inanimate objects and not large things but if i try to stop you with you backpack it would hurt you or wreck your bag. Plus how would I get down?"
He grabbed his own jacket and slipped into it as he poked his head ouut the door to check the hallway. Seeing the coast clear he picked up the bottle of Jack Daniels and tucked it into his backpack before pulling it on and saying "Let's go, you're quick and can watch out for us. I have faith in ya dude. Lets go now." Chase opened the door and walked out into the hall carefully.
The trip downstairs was eventless as they encountered no one and soon Chase found himself on the ground floor at the dorm entrance which was near the far side of the mansion by the woods. Turning to Kyle he said "I don't think I should wait in here. It's more of a chance I'll get caught, best to go out with you guys and I promise to hang back and not listen, if you and her really gotta talk all private and stuff." He raised his eyebrows in anticipation of his drinking buddies response.

When Jumper came to the window, waved, and told her he would be right down Katana felt at once happy and very nervous. She also could not help but notice that he did not say just that he would be coming down but that "we" would be coming down, meaning she would have to deal with Chase. She had no idea where Chase stood on leaving the school. She certainly did not want to risk saying something in front of him. Also she got the distinct impression that Chase did not like her. The spit ball stopped just in the knick of time was a pretty good message to that effect, and seemed to fit in well with his actions earlier. Frankly, she didn't like Chase either. He seemed like an immature brat to her, plus he acted like a girl around Jumper. Really, he acted a lot like Katana hoped she did not come off as, like a girl with a crush. Maybe the kid was just idolizing Jumper or maybe he was gay and wanted a piece of the boy, but either way he clearly wanted to keep her away from Jumper and Katana wanted nothing more than to be close by. Or more accurately she wanted nothing more but for Jumper to be happy with her close by, with her in his arms.
As for running, Katana wanted to get away from the craziness of the school, but part of her also realized that running was not a particularly good way to solve her problems. Part of her wanted Jumper to not run with her but to instead pull her into his arms, hold her, and tell her everything was OK and all that romantic crap. The stronger part of her wanted the opposite situation, for her to somehow save him, proving to him how strong she was, making him love her, and making him happy. She was torn between going in and bravely telling him that she was running and wanted him to come with her and crying on his shoulder. She hated herself for being so indecisive and weak here. She was a fighter. She needed to fight something, not be a prisoner in this place.
With these thoughts consuming her, she waved back at the window which Jumper had already left, shouting out behind him "Alright, see you downstairs" and then half walked and half ran to the door of the boy's dorm. Waiting outside the door she was unable to hear the conversation between Chase and Jumper as she waited tensely for the door to open.

Kyle slipped out of the doorway and outside finally. As he saw Katana he smiled and looked at her for a moment before saying anything. For that moment he was speechless. Then as he blushed a bit at how he was looking at Katana, hoping it being dark out would hide it. Clearing his throat and moving towards her. "Hey, what's up? You alright? I think I understand what you were tryign to tell me." As he looked over his shoulder a bit to his own pack. He had wanted to leave as well earlier, and now after the nights events where he was looked over for a couple important missions. It had jaded him a bit more. "Chase wants to come with us. And I didn't just want to leave him behind."
Looking over to chase as he came out as well and nodding to him. Kyle still felt the heat from the drinking earlier in his cheeks and his chest. Chase was acting a bit over protective of him tonight, but Kyle just thought is was because he was th only friend he had around here. "Are you sure your up for this Chase?" Letting Chase think about the question he turned back to Katana.
"Katana, we can talk more now if you like. Chase said he won't get in the way of our talking." Kyle motioned ahead for all of us to get moving and away from the doors and windows just to be sure not to be spotted. He looked to Katana waiting to see if she would open up to him about what ever was on her mind.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just..." she stopped and paused awkwardly and led Jumper away from the door so they could talk outside of Chase's hearing, her palms turning sweaty as she took his hand. "I think we should get out of here...if you want to bring Chase that's cool," she said. "It's just...not like I'm a coward or anything...it's just this isn't our war. The teachers have some sort of fight against all these enemies and they are just using us as cannon fodder. They let those kids get sucked into hell. I haven't seen my roommate, Elixir, in days even before this happened...and now" her voice wavering a bit with emotion she quickly tried to suppress, "they let that asshole Inflict torture you."
Continuing Katana just let her words flow rapid fire as she rode a crest of emotion, "I just can't stand this place...It's not that I'm scared," once again she stopped, pausing to think whether to let down her guard around Jumper..."Ok, that's a lie...I'm scared. I don't get scared a lot. I've been through a lot of shit, but this place scares me. If you want to go with me, let's go. If not I'll stay...no sweat. I don't abandon my friends." She wanted to bury her head in his shoulder and just cry out all the pain and fear and longing. But she was strong, damn it. Strong girls did not cry. Strong girls were in charge. She liked Jumper so she was going to protect him, right? She was the strong girl. So she held back and didn't cry although had there been more light Jumper would have seen that she was fighting back the tears.
Finally finished talking, Katana looked up at Jumper with a determined look on her face and waited for his reply.

"Wonderful!" Chase said as he walked up and clapped a hand on each of their shoulders as he pushed his way in between them and hugged them both. "This is what you call a hallmark moment. Now lets get going before we get caught. Unless you guys are chicken." Chase giggled as he kept on walking, pushing through them and shaking his head as he thought how stupid Kyle was being over thiis most latest girl. He had confessed earlier to Chase that he was done with girls for a while and here he was again, right back at it.
Chase couldn't believe the kid with the implants and super speed was allowing himself to get sucked into something emotional. He himself was hoping that some alcohol and some chill time together in their room might give him an opening to offer Kyle a chance to explore other types of intimacy, but that was just not going to happen now. He could tell by how Kyle looked down out of the window at Katana that his roommate was sprung on her already. If this nasty slimey pantied quief was going to take this cute guy away, well Chase was not going to let her get her claws into him. He was going to protect his only friend and maybe by doing that he would get a chance to open him up to some guy on guy fun.
