Aqua's smirk widened as she dissolved the whip and brought the trail of water back into her bottle. "Sure, thanks Jumper." She smiled warmly and flipped the flapjacks over. At this rate she wasn't going to make enough for her, Tracy, Jumper and Ms. Frost. She had to get another pan and make more. She rummaged though the cabinets and took out 3 more decent sized pans. She placed them on the stove and turned on the three flames. She placed butter on them and waited for them to sizzle, when they did, she poured 3 flapjacks in each pan, giving her twelve pancakes done at the same time. She knew she had a brain for something.

Kitty had left the basketball courts along with her two remaining students and headed to the school, to the kitchen, which was what she considered one of the places where everyone gathered after anything, really. Nearing the kitchen, she could already smell food was cooking, a warm smell of fresh pancakes was making its way to her nose. Following the smell, she realized she was a bit hungry.
Finally reaching the kitchen, she saw that there was already a small gathering. Aqua was making plenty of pancakes, Jumper was helping out, and HeartString was around. "Mmm, that smells really good, Heather. Save a pancake for me?" she asked with a little giggle. Looking to Jumper, she smiled, "Helping out, I see, what a gentleman," she said, laughing a little. She then turned to HeartString. "I do hope you got enough sleep last night and are well rested," she said to her, smiling warmly.
Looking behind her, she decided she would wait till k'8 came in to ask Aqua if she would help assist her teammate.

"I'll flip these while you make more batter, don't worry I think i can handle this." HeartString said to Aqua and stepped over to take up the slack as she didn't want to be drawn into a conversation with that cocky little rude little boy, and when she said little she meant it. "Hey Shadowkat how are you today? Practice was good I hear!" she winked back to Aqua.

"Oh, wow- I was thinking about some cerial, but PANCAKES !?! Oh my god- is there enough for me too?" D'mnchyld said in a ravinous sounding voice. "And they have GOT to be good for me if Aqua's eating them, right Miss Pryde?" She said by way of trying to get permission to slather hers with butter and syrup, that was if she would be allowed to have any. "Is there enough?"

Aqua smiled. "Thanks Tracy," she placed the bowl of batter next to Tracy and got more eggs and milk from the fridge. She looked to Shadowkat when she heard her come in a smiled wider. "Hey Ms. Pryde," she said cheerfully. "Of course I saved one for you. Saved twelve in fact," she giggled and looked to Jumper to see if he set up the table yet. Aqua had a feeling that more people would be coming in soon. She was right to make as much as possible. She got the batter powder from the fridge as well and the vanilla and cinnamon. She got out a similar sized bowl out from the cabinet and made the new batch.
She glanced at the flapjacks when the smell teased her nose. Her stomach was starting to hurt from the lack of food it had. She winced at the pain but told herself to relax. Only a couple of more minutes and you get to eat Heather, damn it relax. She hated not eating for this long. It usually made her eat like a fourteen year old boy as a matter of fact. However she didn't care or mind. As long as her stomach was happy, she could care less of what she looked like making sure that happened.
When D'mncyld came in she smiled. "Yeah there is plenty for everyone." She then looked confused. If I am eating them? What does that have to do with anything?

Kitty smiled at HeartString. "I'm good, and yourself? Practice was indeed good, almost everyone made much improvements on their skills, which is good," she answered, and grinned as Aqua answered her, "Oh goody!" she said, smiling again. She was a little hungry, and then she grinned when she saw that k'8 came in behind her. She laughed lightly at her surprised reaction at the growing arsenal of pancakes. "I suppose they'd be alright to eat, but don't go crazy with the butter and syrup. They're some of the things you want to make sure you limit," she told her with a smile.
"Which reminds me," she said, looking to Aqua. "Heather, I was wondering if I could ask something of you? Would you mind helping k'8 eat better, like have a healthier diet and things? I trust you know what to eat and what not to eat, yes?" she asked, seeing what she considered to be a bit of a confused face, explaining why k'8 had mentioned her.
She also noticed that Heather looked famished as well, and laughed a little as she shook her head. "My goodness, you look starved. You should have a pancake while you cook to hold you over. Don't want you fainting while cooking now, wouldn't be good," she said, taking down a plate for her from a cabinet.

"Yeah sit and have some breakfast with your little friend over there and me and Ms.Pryde will take over for a couple of minutes." Tracy offered to let her know it would be fine to eat and talk with Jumper, even though she had a certain opinion of the boy that she chose to hold back on saying. He was a bit too 'over the top' and at least five years younger than her, so when he had hit on her in the hangar she had formed an opinion of him that was none too flattering.

Aqua nodded slowly as she heard what D'mnchyld meant with her eating what Aqua ate. "Oh," she said realizing her mistake. She thought about what she knew about food. On occasions she did diet throughout high school just to not gain a few pounds, however when if came to her body, Aqua never had to worry about working out to stay thin. She would just watch food portions of what she ate. She nodded again and smiled with a shrug. "Sure I have no problem with that if K'8 doesn't" she said while looking over to her teammate. She quickly glanced to the girl's arms and winced slightly. Aqua didn't take "cutting" so well. Heck anyone else's blood that wasn't hers wasn't something she would fancy to see.
She shook the thought from her head and smiled to K'8. She then looked to her leader and laughed. "Yeah but they are for everyone. Plus if I start now, I will never stop." She laughed again and mixed the new batch a bit, making sure it was fully stirred. She looked to Tracy and sighed. "Fine, if you guys insist." She took a plate for herself, utensils and her bottle of water. She sat down and got back up to get the syrup. She then decided to help Jumper set the table, but knowing him, it could have been done in under a second.

"Yeah, I'll try whatever. I'm cool like that, but you know if I don't like it I'm gonna tell ya!" k'8 said to Aqua. "I think that we'll be safe with pancakes though."
She sat down and then she realized Aqua was looking at her arms. She pulled them under the table and looked down at her empty plate, the smile left her face. She somehow now didn't want pancakes. She got up and went to leave, then she sat down again as the smell of the food was overwhelming. Looking to Aqua again she realized she would never be that pretty and she got up again and said "Nevermind, I'm not really hungry." D'mnchyld turned to leave, trying to get out of there and not wanting to say anymore.

She saw K'8 get up and then sit back down. Aqua thought the girl to be quite shy and her power of course probably didn't make her any more confident. She wanted to get to know the girl however. She was her teammate. Aqua smiled warmly as she saw the demon spawner walk away. "Are you sure? Not to brag, but my pancakes are incredible. I would feel hurt that you didn't try." She poured syrup on her food, not able to wait any longer, and took a bite. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she closed her eyes. The tint of vanilla and cinnamon in her mouth was too delicious to not notice. She looked to Jumper and the rest of the people in the kitchen. "I'm sorry I couldn't wait guys but I haven't eaten since yesterday."
She giggled and then looked back to K'8. Aqua thought that K'8 might have been feeling left out or something. She had no idea that K'8 spotted her looking at her scars.

Tracy felt the pang in the little girls heart as surely as if it had stabbed her own. "Oh, don't go! Please stay and have a bite at least." she said looking back and down at her. She didn't know why the girl was just so freaked out but there was certainly something wrong with her a moment ago.
"I would love to talk to you about all the colors your hair has been. You know, I myself have never been able to dye my hair with much success. What color is that anyway? It's very purple-y and quite nice on you, you know." HeartString was trying to break the ice that had just formed around the girls emotions.

Jumper was moving around the room in a blur making sure to kep out of everyone's way as he set the tabl;e in no time. All that could be seen was a blur and then plates were down, then another blur and silverware was down. And again he moved back and forth and the syrup and butter were on the table, It may have seemed odd but there was also a jar of peanut butter on the table as well. Jumper lover peanut butter on his pancakes. Slipping back into the kitchen. "All set!"

Kitty had watched as Heather probably couldn't help but glance at k'8's arms and knew that the girl was bound to feel a bit uncomfortable. She looked to Heather for a second and then saw that k'8 got up and sat back down for a moment, and then moved to leave again. "k'8, stay for pancakes, it's okay," she said, moving from the stove to go to her charge and place a light hand on her shoulder. Keeping her hand on her shoulder, she smiled reassuringly at her and then heard HeartString speak. She hoped she would stay to talk to her as she remembered her services were offered up in cooking pancakes.
"Right, pancakes now that Heather's taking a break to eat some. What am I doing?" she asked, smiling one more time at k'8 and then moving to the stove.

Aqua laughed at Jumper's aid. "Thank you Jumper," she said cheerfully. She took another bite of her masterpiece and smiled wide. She loved her pancakes and she was sure everyone else would too. She looked back to K'8, remembering that she wanted to leave. She didn't want her to for K'8 seemed to be like a very shy girl. She barely saw her during her time here and Aqua wanted to get to know her teammate better.
Now that Shadowkat assigned them to "work" together, she would makes sure that K'8 ate correctly and build up her strength. Aqua figured that because of her power, K'8 needed to raise her iron levels a lot, and probably get fit. The thing is when it came to that, Aideen seemed like the better candidate for getting K'8 fit.

When the smell of pancakes invaded Ian's senses, he burst into the kitchen practically drooling. He had a weakness for pancakes that were drenched in maple syrup. Canadian Maple syrup was the best ever. He wondered if there was any here since they were only a couple of hours of so drive from Canada. Oh man that would rock!
Ian spotted Heather along with Ms. Pryde, that Healer chick Heartstring, the girl then called D'monchyld and that Jumper dude from Spitfire's team. "Hey babes and dude. Oh and Teach, I didn't forget you either," Ian said with an easy grin to the people in the room.
"It smells awesome in here. Hey Blondie, you gonna share some pancakes with your ol' friend here," Ian said with a big eager grin on his face.
