"Ok Kev, just remember to keep your elbow down when you're doing arm curls. You wanna move only the forearm and not your whole arm," Ian said to his teammate while he balances somewhere around 6 tons of weight on his shoulders while he did squats. It wasn't all that heavy for him, but he wanted to start with a lighter workout at this stage before he moved to the 15 tons. "Your form is gettin' better little buddy. You'll be ripped pretty soon at this rate," he added as he lift himself up with his thighs and then back down, counting in his head.
"Wow bro, I needed this workout. Something you know to get some frustrations out. I think Cyclops is gonna be a little mad that I ruined another punching bag," he said with a slight laugh as he took a break before his neck set. "After these crazy day we been havin', I'm tellin' you bro workouts are one of the only things keepin' me from using someone's head as my punching bag," Ian said with a slight laugh think of Rumble and his bruised face.
He picked his weight back up and went right into his next set. "Crazy damn time for our team huh little buddy? And not the good kind like them knarly waves that Blondie can make at the lake for me," Ian said with a sigh and went back to counting in his head.

"Yea --uggh-- I know what you mean! -nnnff-" he gurnted and strained against the 15lb weight he had in his hands. He was at repititon 80 in doing a set of 'hundreds' to blast his biceps and had dropped down from his starting weight of 25 lbs after the first twenty reps, then had the 20lb weights for the next fifteen or so reps, and he was about to drop down again to the ten pound dumbells- all this to get a ton of blood folwing into his arm muscles. It was his warm up up along with the pullups he would jump to imediateley after. Today was his day for back and bicepts, and just like Ian had shown him to get all warmed up and prevent injurys he did what he was instructed to do.
This woorkout time with his good friend and team mate Diesel was now Kevin's most favorite time of the day. He used to really like to spend the hours with Loralia, but she had blown him off so much recentlty and become a real 'Loraliar', he just couldn't take any more of her poison to be poured into his ears. He really liked his team, even though she seemed to think that they were all against her he knew they weren't- not really. He knew a little bit of how Ian felt since they had talked some about it, and even Haven, as harsh as she could sometimes be, didn't really hate on her- at least not when he was with the two of them.
"I told Frostbite I didn't --ugg-- wanna hang out with her -errgg- anymore." he huffed and was spent on that weight. Quickly swithcing to the next lower weight he said "She's all messed up- thinks she's some badass now. It's kinda funny, but in a painful way you know? I love her, and I'm gonna miss her until she realizes what an ass she's being for that Rumble guy. Yeah tough times for us Acolytes." he gritted his teeth as he finished up the last of his one hundred reps. Dropping the weight back in it's spot on the rack he said "What do you think about us being strapped with that mess Katana?"

Ian's face screwed up into a slight scowl as he really went into his workout and tried to keep his mind on that rather than get pissed off. "Katana is a piece of work man. I trust Niki, you know I do, but I got my doubts about that nutter. You saw that shit with class today? I mean alright yea it was all getting out of hand since you know how my girl can't resist an opportunity to bait someone, but freaking Katana getting into it made me say riiiiight.... What the freak was up with that? I mean I'm the last person right now to give credit to Frostbite right now, but she's staying outta the shit between Rumble and Ember, her beef is with me and Niki for whatever freaking reason that is," he said with a scoff and set the weights down since he finished his last reps.
"Katana just started getting into it with Frostbite as if she even knew what the freak was going on. She had no place there and I made sure to point that out to Niki and I'll personally tell Katana to butt out next time that happens. I mean c'mon little buddy, you know as well as I do that Spitfire hates her guts," Ian said with a laugh as he put the weights away and went to set up the weight bars so he could do some serious bicep curls. "A freaking mess is right for that chick, getting herself mixed up all over the place. I got no problems telling her to get her act together if she freaks up. We need to get this team back on track. Frostbite and Torri are gone, and good riddance as far as I'm concerned," he said with a huff and picked up the weight he put together for bicep curls.
"Torri slowed us down big time, and lets be real bro, Frostbite was too pissy with me to ever really try and work with the team. Kinda glad she's gone cause now I don't have to deal with her ass. Katana though, she's got a lot to prove and after everything we all been through I ain't makin' it any easier on her." Ian alternated curling his arm, but still easily able to keep conversation even though he was starting to really sweat.
"I don't know 'bout you Little Buddy," he began not even glancing at Kevin since he wanted to keep his form. "But I'm freaking pissed that Wolverine is thrown out this weekend. He didn't deserve that. Rumble crossed the line big time and Spitfire is like his favorite chick, of course he's gonna be pissed enough to freaking try and set him straight. It's not right man," Ian said with a shake of his head as he started his second rep.

He was jumping up and hangign on the pullup bar when he said "Aww Tori was a real sweet kid and I think, yea she was holding us up from being a premier team here. You know come to think of it we have more HELL-WALKERS, you know all of the ones of us who went to Limbo? Well, I was thinking about it and we have the most even though some new people and all have come and Frostbite got swithced off, but yes I think the Acolytes have the most still of any team. So, we really should be the best squad here. Katana is really going to have to prove herself because you and me and Haven, we gotta be the core of it you know."
He started his pullups doing an alternating thing with going in front of his head and pulling up to get really high up like Diesel had shownd him bringing the bar to almost his solerplexus. Then behind his head and with his grip as wide as it was it really hit his lats in a intenste way. "-Unggh- I think --grruhh-- that Gavin and Taffy could -urggh- be good. Gavin problably --guurr-- better, but Taffy not too bad herself." He did his warm ups and focused after he saw Ian shoot him a look to focus on what he was doing. It didn't make sense to work out if all he was going to do was gossip.
Dropping off the bar he said "Yes, I think it was a bit extreme after all that Rumbles done to her? I guess since he's supossed to be mature and in control- plus with Veronika's parents showing up and all. Wow, I know you saw her mom right? Wasn't she glamorous? -Uh I mean 'hot' to use, you know, 'guy-talk'. Wow, now I see where Allure gets her figure and delicate features from."
"But back to 'Mantana' for a second, I head all about that practice that Ember ran the Paragons through and she hated Aideen for that I heard. Why would she chose sides in that whole thing is beyond my compryhenshun even if she was trying to get 'on board' with Niki and all. I just don't get it." He got a 45lb dumbell off the rack and kned down on a bench to do one arm rows for his lat muscle. He let the weight hang and felt the stretch in his side muscle. "It was real cool of Niki to stick up for her though, I felt this awesome sense of pride when she did it. Like I was proud to be an Acolyte again- or maybe for the first time ever." He started tugging the weight up and letting it go back down slowly just how Ian had showed him. Checking in the mirror for his form.

Ian made his breathing even as he alternated his arm curls slowly so he could feel it all over his arm. "My girl has her principals and I ain't gonna tell her what to do. But I got my own too, and I'll always back my girl up but I ain't gonna back Katana up. S'far as I see it, she ain't earned the right to have me or anyone else on our team to have her back," he said still keeping count in his head. He liked to work his arms out very throughly, and kept an accurate count whenever he performed arm curls.
"Seriously Kev, you know I love my girl, you know that, and I'd do anything for my team and all of you, but Katana? She's not on the team just cause she got a uniform. Gavin and Ricki, well they earned me having their back, especially Gavin. He's always been the first to get all our backs and he gets where it ain't his place to meddle. See how he never got involved in the shit with Spitfire? He only got pissed when Rumble called my girl fat," Ian growled out and finished his sets of arm curls. He moved on to machines so he could work on his back muscles.
He began that set and paced himself, stopping only once to get a sip of Gatorade before getting right back in the workout. "He gets it is my point, so does Ricki. She didn't try to get into it either. Katana hasn't even been to one damn practice but here she is getting right up in business that ain't even hers. Pisses me the freak off," Ian grunted as he made the weights even higher to get that workout he needed.
"I'm just sorta fed up in general. I'm mad that Wolverine's been kicked out, I'm mad Rumble exists, I'm mad Mantana, good one little buddy, is on our team, and most of all I'm pissed that Spitfire has to take that shit and nothing anyone does can help," Ian said with a loud sigh as the metal weights fell on top of each other with a loud CLANK. After a moment from tense and frustrated silence, Ian broke it. "Veronika's mom is pretty hot huh? Damn... talk about a MILF..." he said with a slight grin.

"Yes, I understand all that. Believe me I do, and it was really weird that Katana jumped in like that." He shwitced arms and kept going with the same exersice, working his back muscle on the other side. He wanted to have that beautiful 'V' shape to him, like all of the hot looking guys here. Even Kris who was just too much of a queen for him to go for had a decent built, but for himself he was always too slight and too small. He looked into the mirror to keep his form and make sure he did it just right so he too could look dashing. "You know --unnngh--maybe she thought it was -uuurr- her place since Niki was cool enough to stick -uuuff--up for her and all?" he wondered all out loud between reps, as sweat dripped off his brow onto the bench he kneld apon. "You think?"
"Look Ian, I don't like Mantana myself. Remember who sealed her crazy bi-poaler self up at the pizza party." He had to chuckle at that for the memory of it was just hillarious to him. "The thing is though we don't get a say on who is on our team, if I'm not mistaken the whole Paragon team wanted her gone. You know I am close with Veronika and all, well I wouldn't put it past her and the rest of them to have petitioned Nightcrawler to kick her off. In fact I'm pretty sure that was in the works, even though I shouldn't say you know cause I'm no gossip like some people here at the school, I bet that's what happened though. But anyways it was a brilliant idea- sooooo maybe if we do the same then we can swap out for somebody cool like Puppy~Love or TuneUp or someone."
He finished his set and sat on the banch looking at Diesel work out and marveling at his power. "As far as Rumble and Wolverine and Aideen. I'll tell you this big guy, that girl can take care of herself. I KNOW- I saw her do it first hand, and she is probably the coolest person at this school. Funny that since her power is the hottest but she has got more self control and more composire than anybody here. All I know is that Wolverine maybe went a little far, Rumble is still a student. I'm not saying what Rumble did was right at all, but really think about it- a teacher threw a student OUT A WINDOW!?! He's lucky to still have a job and be aloud to come back. No question Rumble deserved that and more for all the crap he's pulled but I think Ms.Frost had to draw a line somewheres, you know?" he cocked his head to the side not liking the situation. Shruging apologeticully as he tried to put in into perspectube for himself as well as Ian as he said his thougts out loud.

Ian looked over at Kevin sharply really paced himself with the machine. "Spitfire kicks ASS bro. I saw her fight in Limbo too and god damn. I know she can handle herself, my point is she shouldn't have to. I totally get where Wolverine was coming from, shit I woulda done the same in his place. Spitfire and him got a bond man, and he's been trying to hold back for awhile. You were there yesterday Kev, he nearly snapped when Rumble went over to Spitfire when she came out looking like... whoa man that was seriously hot as hell. Anyways he nearly flipped then! No surprise that when Rumble opened his mouth about the way that Spitfire was when Wolverine and Nightcrawler were in Limbo, he lost it. I oughta get my mom to send some more cigars for the man cause he earned it for keepin' it in all this time," Ian said finishing up his sets and moving on to other workouts. It felt kinda good to just relax and have some guy time with his little buddy. People rarely ever gave the guy enough credit, but Ian saw the potential in him and trusted Kevin to hold his own in any battle.
"Ah what can I say little buddy, I get Wolverine snapping and getting into it. Katana though, doesn't got a place in that whole thing. Yea she may owe stuff to Niki, which I get but this ain't Niki's conflict either. It's Spitfire's and damnit me and Niki went to hell and back for that girl so you better believe that we're gonna give that asshole a piece of our minds. Katana ain't got a single tie to Spitfire to get into anything involving her," He said when he finished strapping down the heavy ankle weights and moved to do chin ups.
"I think, -uuuuaaaaahhh-, that Riker would rather chew off his own leg than, -uuarrghh-, let Katana on his team. He's got some serious problems with that chick, -uuuaahhh-, you know how he is with the whole team being his pack thing. Nneeeyyyuhhh, ya bro no way in hell," Ian said and finished the rest of his set without talking so he could get it done quicker. He jumped down after two hundred and took the 6 ton weights off his ankles.
Ian grabbed his towel and wiped off his sweaty face and chest. "I think we're stuck with her, which blows big time. All I know is that if she's messing up our team when it finally has a chance to heal, I don't care what it takes but I'll have her outta there. Niki told me what Spitfire told her about the practice and I ain't dealing with any of that."

"Well, you remember my first practice right?" Kevin said as he picked up the curl bar he had loaded with a slight ammount of weight. He started to do reversed grip arm curls with the squiggiley looking bar. "And I'll never forget how Guardian -pfffft- helped me out. Hey I can admit that I was a mess, -fffppt- but I think the main thing is that I really -pssppt- tried to do better. I didn't have a choice -pfftt- none of us did in Limbo, we all had to -sffttt- do our best or we'd a wond up like Guardian and Elixir. -hffft- Damm this is no joke here, you know that D-eee-sul . I just think she needs to get that through her thick -uuurrh- bone head."
He put the bar down and moved around the rack adding a touch more weight to each side. "Think about it though, if we don't have a choice then what's left? Except well, we might as well make the most of it, so how do we get the most outa her?" He wasn't really asking in a serious way, he was just saying it because he was playing devil's acrobat for a minute. "If you know say we wanted to what do you think we could do? I'm just asking since that's the way the converstions going, I don't really care except that if she keeps on being a primadona then it drags us all down. Maybe that's why Haven's doing what she's doing by sticking up for her, you think?"
He got behind the bar and steadied his feet to do his next set. He watched himself in the mirror and liked what he saw. He was doing OK here at the school. For the first time in a long time he felt good about himself and his place in the world. He didn't have to worry about his Dad or his Mom no more and his grades were pretty good even with all the disraction shere at the school. The only thing really that he was missing was somebody to snuggle with.
He wasn't going to hold his breath for anybody though, he knew there was nobody here at the school for him. He wanted a real man, a hot guy that didn't act like a fem-queen, but that wasn't going to be afraid to kiss him or embarased to hold him. He took a breath and started his set. Yea Kev- don't hold your breath for Mr. Right, things couldn't go that good for you. Just enjoy all the blessings you have in your life right now, friends, freedom, and fun times.

Throwing the towel back on the bench, Ian went over and stacked weights on the leg press, thinking over the stuff Kevin said, mulling it over in his mind. Her settled himself on the leg press and let turned the safety bar so he could start his reps. "Maybe, I mean the way Niki said it gave me a thing of it being some sorta loyalty thing. Like she's part of our team now, and we gotta stick up for our team. Like I said Kev, she may wear the red but that don't make her one of us," Ian said while counting in his head so he wouldn't mess up his sets.
"We'll see, but I got no problem, none whatsoever to tell her to get the hell over herself. Our team has been through enough. With losing Guardian, the retard issues Frostbite had with me and Haven, any kind of battle tactic with Shimmer being impossible cause she's scared of everything, even me. Could you believe that? I purposely made sure I never rose my voice around her and was always real careful around her and she was still scared. Kids love me and she acted like I yelled and threw shit at her. Whatever, the point is our team needs time to heal. Maybe this weekend I can ask Colossus if we can have spend a night in the woods, like camping and stuff just so we can connect with each other again and really become a team," he thought out loud, voicing his idea to Kevin while mulling it over. He'd talk to Colossus and his team about it at dinner that night.
"Anyways bro, lets finish our sets and wrap it up. I heard lunch today is sloppy joes, and you know how I love those. We gotta hurry up and hit the showers so we won't wait too long," Ian said as the two finished up one of their many workout sessions that was also a way for the two to bond. They always improved both their moods just to be in calm and relaxed company, as they did then, making the insane science class seem far away.
