"Man I rock, this is the coolest class setup ever. And Kitty said I couldn't pull it off. HA in her face!" Bobby Drake said as he surveyed the class setup he worked on almost completely through lunch. Instead he spent it making the coolest class set up ever. He had a bunch of dummies and targets set up all the way near the lake for those that had the crazy long range powers, and Osmium bars that despite their size, were insane heavy for those who had powers that involved strength and manipulation of materials. Bobby set aside a pile of scrap metal for TuneUP, who continued to impress him with his development in powers.
He also had his clipboard, well really it was Beast's but Bobby stole it from his lab, with a list of the class challenges for all his students. Every class he came up with a new challenge for them to meet and how well they pulled it off determined their grade. Admittedly, Bobby was an extremely easy grader and it took a lot for people to bet less than a B+ in his class. Still, he liked his class to be fun and it may be just as active as Wolverine's, but he preferred not to be so... well military about it. Nope, Bobby was cool if people at least tried and learned something.
People started piling outside and a big smile came on Bobby's face when he saw them looking at the set up. "Alright guys, come up to me and I'll hand you your challenges of the day, and this time wait till everyone's here to start huh. You all get out at the same time anyways," Bobby yelled to the students while sitting in the odd looking Ice Chair he made himself at the beginning of class.

Katana's awful mood from science class had not been helped by skipping lunch so as she came in to Iceman's class slightly early, something unusual for her, to ask him about extra credit to improve her failing grades she was quite pessimistic. With my luck it'll be like science and phys ed, just when I've busted my ass to do well and get the prof to give me a second chance and some extra credit so I stop failing, Rumble acts up and there's a shit fest. She sighed to herself slightly before continuing the conversation in her mind. Great, get down on yourself, that'll help. Just ask.
Sheepishly approaching the teacher's peculiar ice throne, Katana said very quietly, "uh, hi. I'm uh ready for my challenge. And I was, uh, wondering, if maybe I could also get some extra credit assignment or something 'cause I'm, uh, kinda failing the class, well all my classes really, and Ms. Frost said it would be OK with her if I, uh, got extra credit if you would let me, please? No more goofing off, I promise."
Please let him believe me. she pleaded in her mind. She had little reason to think he would as she was failing because of her horrible behavior. She had screamed curses at him, stalked off the field in a rage at the smallest provocation, ignored her assignments, and half the time had either shown up to class late or not bothered coming at all. He had offered her opportunities to make up for her bad behavior and worse grades in the past and she hadn't taken them. Before the teacher could answer she added, "You can ask Ms. Frost...it's my last chance here and even I'm not dumb enough to screw it up this time."

By the time lunch had passed and Iceman's class had started Lorelai had stopped dwelling so much on the past and focused on thinking about what she might learn today in his class. Iceman's class was one of her favorite classes hands down, and it wasn't because she could learn nifty tricks and awesome moves that others couldn't because she had similar powers to the teacher who taught it. It was just fun in general, and she liked working on using her powers so that she could do more and do better with them. She wanted to be able to be just as effective as if it were still winter where it was most easiest to do anything.
She walked out onto the lawn and smirked at the ice chair Iceman had fashioned himself to sit on and grinned. I hadn't thought of that before...now I'll remember it if I ever need a chair where there is none, she thought with a roll of her eyes. Walking up to Iceman she saw Katana was already there and sounding like she was pleading for extra credit. God, she's always groveling. She wonders why she's so lame? Not only does she suck at life, she grovels way too much, but hey if that's the way she's gonna live her life, that's on her. Hope she has fun getting nowhere. Lorelai let out a quiet little laugh before coming up to her lounging teacher.
"Hey Iceman, just chilling out like usual?" she asked with a smirk at the lame pun and shook her head before getting down to business, ignoring Katana in the process, cause there wasn't a point in saying a damn thing to her. "So what's on my agenda today? Maybe you can show me some 'cool' moves today? Maybe even your ice slide?" she asked with a little giggle at the thought of being able to do that. "I am your little protegee after all..." she said with a wink, loving that she could learn special ice moves while under his wing.

"Ugh, please don't say challenge," Sky groaned, practically dead weight on Chase who carried her piggy back style. Chase challenged her to an eat off on sloppy joes and bet she couldn't eat six of them in ten minutes. Sloppy joes in that school were massive, but Sky managed to scarf them down just in time. Now she was getting her piggy back ride as payment since quite honestly she was too damn stuffed to move. "Man I think I gained like thirty pounds. I'm never eating again," she groaned and slumped her head on Chase's broad back. "I can't believe you dared me to do that." Sky was a big eater, but she struggled comparing to how some of these guys wolfed down their food. They practically inhaled their food and had to have around four stomachs. Sky's practically sunken in stomach was so stuffed that it had a tiny hard bump from being so full. She would digest it fast anyways, cause her metabolism was insanely fast and she had a theory that she was able to disintegrate the food in her stomach.
When they got to Iceman, Sky held out her hand and still hung on to Chase. "Gimme mine and Chase's please, he still owes me five more minutes of carrying me around," she said and then a saucy grin came on her face as she looked Iceman up and down. He was her favorite eye candy out of the teachers, and well who can blame her for a little flirt here and there. "Damn Iceman, you are the 'coolest' hottest guy ever. That's talent right there to be so hot and yet so 'cool' at the same time," Sky said playfully and bit her lip. He usually laughed her off anyways and it was too tempting to flirt with him for Sky cause he was way too yummy looking to be a teacher.
"Hey Titless," Sky yelled to Lian as she turned her head to look at her and the rest of the group they came with. "Stop trying to flirt with the new guy and get your god damn paper," she yelled obnoxiously to piss her off and looked over to wink at Ricki. That girl was really starting to loosen up after just one lunch. Sky knew that Ricki had the potential to be a lot of fun if she got rid of that annoying ball and chain that stuck to her side crying half the time.

Ricki had to say, this was probably the most amusing lunch she'd ever had. Chase'd dared Sky to eat 6 sloppy joes in ten minutes, and the girl'd actually managed to do it. It amazed Ricki how someone so skinny could fit so much inside her - she had to say, she envied the paragon. Not hanging out with Torri really did make a difference to how she acted around people, she had to admit she hadn't actually got such a positive response off people before - even if they'd been a bit startled at her sudden outbursts. Plus, she'd managed to have a decent conversation with Glitch - which she considered to be an accomplishment seeing if she were still with Torri, she wouldn't have even spoken a word to the hot Paragon. Riker - she found out - was just cool as hell, it was easy to just talk to him about anything and everything. Kat was extremely cool as well - especially the way she spoke, it sorta reminded her of one of her Scottish acquaintances at her cousin's wedding. Gavin was just cool - she already knew that and today made no difference.
It was kinda funny how just that one lunchtime had made Ricki feel like she'd just entered a totally different world altogether. Ricki was giggling like hell as she made her way down to the lawn with the usual group. Sky was getting a piggy bag off Chase 'cause she was feeling all mushy due to the sloppy joes. She headed closer as she heard Iceman call them all forward to get their challenged. Ricki giggled in response to Sky's exclamation. "Damn, I thought one lunchtime would be enough to be done with the flirting." Ricki added in a slightly louder than usual voice, giggling at her statement as she winked at Lian just to make it clear that she was joking.
"Hey Iceman! Whats there for me?" she added, folding her hands across her chest as she grinned at the cool teacher. She'd always liked Iceman's lessons, they were always challenging but fun at the same time - plus he more or less gave everyone a good grade, which kept all happy. Her eyes vaguely flickered over at Frostbite. She was feeling kinda bad for calling her a whore earlier on - that was just Ricki to be fair, feeling bad for being rude or mean to anyone whatsoever- but still, she couldn't help but keep the disappointment away from her mind - maybe if Ricki spoke to Lorelai, she'd be able to make more sense of why Frostbite was now acting the way she was.

Walking from lunch towards the lake was too big of a feet for Lian. She ate about two sloppy joes and couldn't even stand the site of food any longer. Of course a nice cigarette or two was always best after eating, and that was exactly what Lian planned to do. She walked with Glitch and the rest of the group and Lian had no problem flirting with the new Paragon. The fact that he was on her team was even better. Gives me more of a reason to enjoy team practices, she thought with a smirk.
Lian couldn't help but laugh her ass off at how stupid Sky was to actually go for the bet. Of course that was their whole group; practical jokes and dares with bets. It was a simple and fun life. That and being a mutant in a mutant school was just freaking awesome. "You better shut up blondie or I'm going to tell everyone that you have Paris Hilton on your iPod. Oops, I already did," she yelled back with an innocent expression. She looked at Glitch and shook her head. "Honestly, Sky has crossed over to the dark side." She stuck her tongue out to Taffy while kicking her butt lightly. Lian was surprised at how held back the Floridian girl was. Then again, hanging out consistently with Shimmer did make Taffy act like some foster mom. Freaking weird ass chick, she thought. Shimmer was just an odd child.
Reaching Iceman, Lian took her paper and said "Oh thank you Iceman. You're so hot and cool at the same time. How do you do it?" She was mocking Sky of course and made her tone sound almost identical. Lian burst into laughter and stuck her tongue out to her blond best friend.

Dante looked almost amused between the group. They weren't a bad bunch, and he'd get used to them. That one girl Ricki wasn't as much of a square as he thought. He didn't talk much at lunch, preferring to listen to people and figure them out. Those he met from his team seemed pretty tuff to him, more real and people who he knew didn't have everything handed to them on a platter, which he respected. Everyone else got mostly a suspicious look from him as he tried to size them up.
Some girls here did manage to get a lingering glance from him, one of them being the blue haired girl that he met briefly at lunch. She was interesting looking kind of broad, pretty cute but he couldn't figure her out. She wasn't like Sky, Chase and Lian, but she didn't seem as wholesome as Ricki. Dante couldn't find where to place her exactly, and privately that bugged him since he liked to figure people and assess them in his mind. It was his method of survival and how he got on growing up in his neighborhood. Other girls here caught his eye purely because there were some fine, fine looking broads in the school and Dante could only imagine his pupils dilating in appreciation at sight of some of them. Nope, it ain't bad here at all... he thought looking around again.
He went up to Iceman and kept his tough appearance. He always did that, in his neighborhood you always have to pack either heat or a weapon of some sort and no matter what you never let anyone thing you're scared or weak. He adopted the constant tough act cause he had to and it stuck to him, becoming apart of him in every form. Sure Dante relaxed once in awhile and eased up, but he wasn't comfortable enough to do that just yet. When he met with Emma Frost, who looked like she stepped out of the pages of one of his Playboys, briefly after lunch, they spoke for a bit about the terms he was under here instead of going to prison. She told him that weapons were not allowed and he should consider ditching the smoking habit. She also told him that things got easier here quickly for most students and reassured him in a way that despite how different everyone was, they were all here for a common reason. The way Emma Frost said it was enough for Dante to believe the truth in her words.
"Ms. Frost said to just come to class and get right in it," he stated in his serious hard voice, though not being disrespectful. This place was better than prison, and he wasn't going to freak it up by being an ass to the people that gave him an alternative. Dante was many things, but he was decent enough to be grateful for a fresh start and having his ass busted out of prison. It was the least he could do, and no one can accuse him of being an ungrateful hood.

"I vill never get tired of zhe sloppy joes 'ere. Zhey are so ... strange. Und deleecious." Jasper said with a laugh as he tapped his stomach gently. Lunch was his favorite period in the day, next to Iceman's class of course. The guy was totally cool. In more than the usual way. Still, after having watched Decay eat her weight in lunch - so about 6 'joes' - he had tried to shovel as much down as possible. He knew how draining some of Iceman's challenges where and he wanted to be prepared. that and he loved American food. "Anyvay, Riker. Vhen do jou theenk zhey vill start daring each ozer to eat everything before any of us even get zhere?" He shouted to his team mate behind him.
Outside of the team practice Onyx found it incredibly easy to just have a laugh with the wolf boy. He was quick witted and enjoyed some fun. Jasper thought highly of him as one of his closer friends. He of course also shared his weakness of the little Alpha girls. The younger ones anyway. They where so sweet. "Halo Iceman! Vhich von ist mine? I van't to get zomeseeng done today." He said, beaming as he walked into the room. Almost bumping into the new guy. He had noticed alot of the girls taking a good look at him over lunch. He wasn't anything special, but he did seem cool enough. "Who ist zhe new keed. Und vhere ist zhat new fräulein I zaw before. Zhe von viss zhe tattoo's. She ist very ... hot? Ist zhat zhe right vord?"
Reaching in front of the new kid and being careful not to let his wings get in the way he reached for his paper and turned to take his place near one of the dummies set up. This was probably the only class he really cared about other than Phys. Ed. But sometimes even he got a little distracted.

'How on earth can anyone eat that rubbish. It is positively revolting! And Skyler having eaten so many ... it makes my stomach churn just thinking about it. Thank goodness I remembered I had one of those diet bars in my room still. Now they are something good for lunch. half a dozen Sloppy Joes, the girl is a pig no matter how much people adore her.' Ana thought, walking through the classroom and giving a small wave to Bobby, taking her seat before pulling her paper toward her with a light flick of her boney wrist.
Paper was luckily something not weighty at all. Some of the items she had tried to work with where almost the same weight as herself. It was ridiculous.
"Now, what am I doing today?" She said, laying the paper down in front of her. She loved being a mutant sometimes. It was so much fun being a telekinetic. It was a well known fact that other than flying and invisibility, Telekinesis was the most popular super power people wished for throughout life. Clutch was just one of the lucky ones to have the gift. She loved it!
What she didn't love was the way some of her classmates behaved with each other. It was just not right for a girl to be making vulgar comments like Decay was in the habit of shouting. And now poor Taffy would suffer her influence. She had wished the girl would have better taste but it was of no consequence to her. She was happier with her own team.

"Well well Frostie. someone is eager to get in with the teacher. Just cause you share a power like his." Kris said in mock hurt. The blue headed girl was alright really, some of her 'I don't care' morals where a bit straining; but Hemlock loved the girl dearly. She had good taste in men. Friend wise anyway. It was no secret to anyone who got to talking with her to find out who she hung with and he had to agree. She had good taste.
"Afternoon teach, lemme at that paper. You know I just love a good challenge." He chuckled, joining the growing group to collect his assignment and discreetly take a quick once over of the very 'hot' Iceman. He really was adorable. He acted like a child at times, but that never took anything away from his appearance. 'He is one fiiine teacher ... DAMN!'
"SO! whats the main agenda today? Big group thing? Mini group thing? Solitary confinement and pendulum blade thing? ..." He chuckled, folding his arms across his chest with his paper still in hand.

Bobby had to laugh at some of his students. Most of the kids in this school were great and he was a pretty patient guy. Sure some of them were a little rough around the edges, but he'd been there too, he knew what it was like and knew that goofing around was just a way for them to take the edge off the stress of being a mutant teenager, as if being a teenager wasn't stressful enough. "Alright you guys, one at a time. Don't start till everyone's here cause I wanna have a few words with you all before class starts," he said and handed them their challenge sheets. Bobby looked over at Katana for a second and then said, "Let me take care of these guys Katana and then we'll talk." He was a big believer in second chances and hey kids will be kids, they all mess up sometimes and its not fair to hold it against them. "Frostbite! You're first challenge is to make yourself a matching chair and take a seat next to me. Us 'cool' people gotta 'chill' together," Bobby said with a wink at the girl he fondly called his mini me. "We're working together this class again so sit tight and chill out." She was the first mutant he met that had similar powers to him, and he was eager to help her learn their full potential. He still remembered when he was getting a hang of his powers... Bobby shook himself out of his thoughts and grinned at the others. "Ok let's see, Decay you're gonna try and see if you can disintegrate stuff without touching them. If you can't from a distant that's fine, but try at least by just putting your hand over them. I set you up some of those colorful balls from the ball pen, so whenever your ready" he said to her with a big grin and winked at her. He never took her flirting seriously, but hey he liked knowing that he was the 'Stud' of the teachers. Bobby took great pleasure reminding Cyclops and Wolverine about that, but then Cyclops would point to Emma and Bobby would shut up. "FreezeFrame, see that tennis ball machine there? Your challenge is that you're gonna be pelted with them at high speed and you got to go a round not being hit once. I put all the *ahem* necessary padding by the machine. You can work with Decay on that one once she gets her challenge done," he said casting him a knowing look. "Taffy, see that tree over there? Theres a flag on each branch all the way to the top, you get the challenge to try and get all the flags only stretching your whole body. Gotta learn that balance in stretched form kiddo. When StormHawk gets here, tell him that hes working with you cause he's going to have to keep you from getting the flags. Ripple, you're actually gonna be working with Clutch on something similar. Clutch your challenge is you have to build a fort bit those gymnastic blocks over there with your telekinesis. Yes I said a fort, and then you gotta defend it against Ripple who will try and infiltrate it only using your power and please, no almost killing anyone this time eh? It's a challenge of two different types of telekinesis so both of you gotta push it," Bobby said to the group as he handed out Challenge sheets with all the things they have to try and complete. "Onyx, congrats you get to work with this guy here," he said point to Glitch and smiled at him, knowing what its like to be new in a strange group. "Your power is to manipulate dark matter and Glitch, I believe Emma said you disrupt electrical pulses in machinery and living beings. Over in that corner by the lake, I set up six machines that all are going to be shooting paintballs at super high speed! Now their on motion detecting right now. You two working together have to get past the Paintballs of DOOM," Bobby made an exaggerated evil Dracula voice to say that part. "... and get behind them to disable them without getting hit. You both have all of class to figure out how and did I mention they rotate? Oh and you might wanna put on the protective glasses and suits I laid out," he said with a smirk. It would be interesting to see how the two would come about it, and it would give him a chance to see what the new guy could do. Bobby looked around at the others there and rifled through his sheets. "Ok uh Hemlock, you got the speed challenge this time. You have to work with Puppy~Love when she gets here. She's one hell of a speed demon and your challenge is to stop her as she run through the first part of the hedge maze. Her challenge will be to avoid being stopped," he said to the last kid that got in front of him and looked at the others. "Alright who else we get? Can we not take all day, tonight's a House Marathon that I plan to watch!" he yelled with a laugh at the others as they gathered around to get their challenges.

Riker had his sister in a headlock and was messing up her hair walking behind Onyx. "The pup's right 'ere Iceman," he said with a laugh at his sister's growling. "Oui ye bloody pup, ye got your assignment. Be nice to Queenie over there, he may be tempted to style that mane o' yers and then it'll be me brotherly duty to call ye FruFru and put a wee pink bow on yer head," Riker said teasingly to his twin and let her out of the headlock before swiping her in the stomach with his paw.
"Oui Icemen, where be I today? Do I wrestle with one o' TrueSpirit's animals? That was bleedin' deadly right there," he said with excitement, letting his tail wag slightly from the prospects. "Or mayhaps am I to sniff out someone? Or do that acrobattin' stuff, that was bloody brilliant." Riker loved this class cause he got to play around with ways to use his skill and that was a lot of fun. Practice he learned how to use them in combat, but here he just learned what else that he could do and in the end it actually ended up helping him in combat. It was a way to exercise his powers and incorporate them into his life more than he already did.
That and Iceman was one of his favorite teachers. He was just well so bloody relaxed and fun that it made class a lot of fun. Riker had no problem getting into the game, but Iceman's class was a regular riot and he had a blast. That and when he finished he'd watch the others and have a good old time laughing when he watched them struggle with challenges.

About the only thing that could be heard from Lurai were growls as Riker had her in a good headlock she couldn't seem to get out of at the moment. Of course her hair was a casualty in this, but it's not like it really mattered. It was messy in general, as Lurai didn't care too much about her appearance. She had no one to impress, and she was comfortable the way she was. But there was a point where it could be too messy. "Riker you do that and I'll kick your everlovin' arse! FruFru and pink bows absolutely not!" she growled as he finally let her go and pawing her stomach. She jabbed his arm before going off to stand with the Queenie as Riker called him, her shoulders hunched over slightly as she heard she had to run with him as an obstacle. It wasn't like it would be that hard a task to complete, but even still there were other people it would be more fun and challenging to practice with.
Lurai sniffed the air as she approached the girly boy Hemlock and nodded slightly. "So you will be trying to stop me, eh? I wish you luck, then," she said with a confident smirk. Rarely did she actually get stopped long enough for it to count, for she always managed to get out of whatever tried to hold her down and stop her from running. She was fast and agile and she knew it, and so did everyone else. Even though Iceman was always an easy grader, she still earned a good grade easy enough.
As she had caught wind of hearing how everyone needed to wait until everyone had arrived to start, Lurai crouched on the ground and awaited the second that she could start running off.

Lunch had been a very interesting event for Kat to watch. While sloppy joe burgers had been scarfed down like nobody's business, Kat had taken a couple for herself, grabbed a spoon and ate everything between the buns daintily and ladylike, leaving the buns. It had been enough for her and she was set for Iceman's class, which she could only imagine would be twice or thrice the circus Beast's class had been, for action was allowed here, and most of all encouraged. This time she might fancy herself join in on the fun, but maybe not. The group she had eaten with was quite entertaining. Sky was quite cool, as was Chase, and Ripple seemed a little odd, but Kat liked her still. Ricki was apparently coming out of some shell she had been in, and breaking loose was always a good thing. Kat wouldn't know though- she had always been an odd little child and grew up to be the interesting person she was now.
She had walked up with her group of new friends that were also her team and tilted her head with a cute smirk to see Iceman. Though he had given out everyone else their assignments, she had yet to receive hers. "Oi American Manhunk o'ice....what be my task for the class? I must immerse myself with the circus folk here...who carries the whips? Alas if no one carries those I should be happy to do whatever ye tell me instead...perhaps I could comment or judge? I do like doing that..." she trailed off as if she were talking to herself. A second later she seemed to have snapped out of it and looked back to Iceman expectantly, wondering what he would have her do today. All she could do right now were things of the catlike abilities, for at that moment in time it was the only tattoo she had decided to maintain.
Of course, though, she figured she would have to do some body drawing later and give herself a taste of the other powers she would see used in class. Kat was sure that to try each would be quite fun to do. "Oh if only I remembered to bring me tat machine with me..." she thought aloud with a sad tone, looking at the ground for a moment. "Could do so much more with it...alas 'tis how 'tis... there is always a next time, and after class," she continued to make herself feel better and again focused on Iceman. "Do excuse me, I sometimes think to talk to myself out loud..yes, now what be me task?" she asked, grinning big and resorting to checking him out so she wouldn't lose focus again.

Kevin walked up along with StormHawk and Haven and Diesel. Katana had run off before lunch period had even ended and at the cafiteria table with the rest of the Acolytes he was eating and talking with they all rolled their eyes almost in unisen. It was obvious she was going to run off to talk to the teacher like she always did. How many chances and how many apollogies did one person deserve? Kevin didn't say a word he was too busy trying to finish his second sloppy joe because Ian was encuraging him to eat more and more to help his body rebuild itself after their workout and to bulk himself up. His tummy was stretched to the limit.
It was strange to be without Shimmer, she had always trayled behind and Ricki was always by her side, well in the past couple months at least. Ricki was breaking from the team he noticed, since the Acolytes seemed to come to Iceman's class as a team right after lunch, it wasn't Diesel's rule or anything since he was the guy who led them for the most part, but it just always worked out that way. Kevin liked it too they seemed like a tight group that way even when Frostbite was still with them because Kevin and her would sit together at the far end of the table from Ian and Niki and then walk up sort of apart from the team, Kevin closer but Frostbite kept getting furthur and furthur away as the weeks went by. It was probably a good sigh that she would quit the team, so he could kick himself for not picking up on it sooner.
He was tired a little from his workout, but it was a diffarent kind of tired than he felt from using his powers, so he didn't think it would interfear with his preformance in class. His power was more insperation and artitstic and the energy he used for it seemed to never run out. Well at least he ran out of ideas before he ran out of power. He didn't realize he was walking a little ahead because he was a bit upset about the changes to his beloved team, and the way his best friend had ditched him and the team, but he was also kinda ticked off at Ricki for ditching them now too since she was hanging out with the Paragons and all.
He had mixed feelings about that team, since he loved Allure and he was cool with Sky and Ripple they were just plain funny, but Kris creeped him out. He was too much and Kevin didn't get what he wanted from him since they were both 'bottoms' or so it seemed. At least Kevin knew he was ans he was pretty sure the flamboynt brit was too. As for Chase he seemed a little scary-jock-prankster, but kinda hot and he was tall and had that swimmers built. The new kids to the Paragons, Kat and Dante who he heard his name said over and over at lunch-time and the piratey girl who said she was from Nevada but talked like she was fresh off the deck of the Black Pearl? Well, He didn't know about them yet but he wouldn't judge them to harshly he hated being judged himself and didn't want to get into it, judging was cruddy.
He slowed his pace as they four of them showed up together. Looking over his left shoulder he nodded at Gavin and then looking over his right shoulder he saw Niki and Ian and he smiled inwardly at them. They were realy a cute couple and he felt good to be with them all there. Ricki needed to stick with the team, Ian was right it was a great team except for Katana, but she was going to learn to pull her weight. Ian would make sure of it and Haven too, she wasn't the kind to take any crap. He turned back to look at Iceman and stood there with his team. He folded his arms because he felt kinda empowered after his awesume woorkout and the filling lunch and hangign out and walking up like they all did. "Were here, Acolytes all present." He looked over at Frostbite out of the corner of his eye, missing her but not wanting it to show.
