"Oh hey now I have to explain my sock fetish to ya? Fine it all started at the zoo-" He looked sideways at Sky and started to laugh "Ah just felt like it, no fetish but I do have a cool story about the reptile house if you ever want to hear it-what's that? TELL IT? O.K." he picked up his chocolate milk and took a sip.
"Feeding time! And I was there on a field trip and we were all crowded to watch as this snake, some kinda constrictor. Now they let out a bunch of small furry critters of all sizes and almost immediately it got this little mouse, cute little thing, and it started wrapping and squezing." he held his bottle of Nestles Quick up twisting his hands around it to illustrate. "Squeezing and tightening , harder and harder until ~POP!" at that very second he squeezed his plastic Quick bottle hard as he held it right over top of the sprawled out Decay and chocolate milk shot up out of it like a fire hydrant bursting open.
With a thought he froze the liquid in mid air and dove down on her belly with his fingers outstretched in full tickle mode tossing the bottle over his shoulder to make sure it hit Gavin in his head. "AHhahahaaAA! Then it ATE the tiny little rodent HAAA!" he yelled as he tickled Sky in her ribs and grabbed both of her wrists to pin them down with one hand and go back to tickling her in her armpits. The chocolate milk still poised over head.

About an Hour Later
What'd that boy eat for dinner, rocks. God. Leah thought as she half carried, half dragged Alex through the door into the rec room. After he had practically collapsed, she had pulled him to his feet and put one of his arms around her shoulders and then put her arm across his waist. She had hoped he would walk a little with her for support. "Hey guys," she said to the people still in the room. "I'm really not playing here. Something's wrong. He collapsed. We really need to get him to Beast. Please...Please help," she said with worry and pleading in her voice.

Ian and Niki were still in the same spot on the couch at the point, just talking quietly about everything he massaged her back with one hand soothingly. Niki was as pissed as he was about the whole thing if not more, but she was good at taking his mind of stuff. Since the show was over, the two of them sat there and only occasionally joined in the conversation with the others. For the first time that evening, Ian was relaxing and just enjoying his time with his girl and his friends.
Which is why he could only heave a big sigh when he heard Katana's voice. He was a good guy, but right now he really wanted a worry free evening that just seemed impossible in a mansion full of drama filled teenagers. Ian groaned and looked at Niki. "I should probably take the dude down huh? Cause I'm suppose to be the good guy right?" he said and hit his head on the back of the couch, his hands settling on her hips. He didn't want to go, not when he was so comfortable, but when it came down to it, Ian was a good guy who would help someone else out if they needed it.
He carefully slid Haven off him, leaning in to kiss her lightly on the lips as he did so and started to get up. This evening just couldn't stay good for him, but he can't help who he was, and just happened to be a helpful guy.

"Ew! Oh ew thats properly disgusting!" Shimmer said in a high pitched squeal at the story FreezeFrame was telling to the group. It was a horrible thought that such a poor and intimidated little creature was tortured and killed so violently by a vicious animal like a snake. It made her shudder and remember past images she so very badly wanted to forget and be rid of, nothing could move them though. Thoughts like the ones from her memories where those that could never be forgotten. "That poor wee mousie, thats torture to the poor wee thing. How can anyone think that is ok!" She was getting a little distressed and her lip stuck out a little in a small pout to emphasize how little she was enjoying the shifted conversation. 'Poor wee beastie' she thought to herself.
The time passed and although the conversations had moved around alot, shows where flicked over and shouting matched were fought over who got control of the television, Torri still couldn't shift the image from her mind of a tiny wee mouse trapped in the vice like grip of a snake. Who could ever think such a horrible thing would be cool, or even nice. She felt sick to her stomach and had even abandoned the packet of cheddar cheese crisps because she felt in no mood to eat anything anymore.
As Katana came in dragging the body of Chupacabra into the room again, the teeny tiny Torri got up slowly and walked over toward them. Not sure what she personally could do to help get him to Beast. She could tell him though, she was no-where near strong enough to do anything like carrying him as Katana had asked someone to help with. But she could run down and tell Beast that Alejandro had collapsed. That would be helpful wouldn't it? "Should I go and tell him? I can run fast and let Beast know he's coming?" She offered, looking a little shyly at the newest Acolyte. She hadn't grown close to the girl yet like she had most of her team, so the trust issue was still quite a difficult barrier. Shimmer was trying though.

"Nooo Chase! heeheehee I'm crazy ticklish! I'm not a mouse damnit!" Sky squealed and squirmed like crazy when he tickled her. "You'll get wet too heehee if you let it go!" she said in between giggles. Her giggles didn't stop and neither did her squirming, which was more unfortunate for Chase than her since her head was on his lap. Giggle after giggle, Sky was full on laughing after and reached over to bite his stomach through his shirt, The ended up with both of them covered in chocolate milk.
That didn't stop Sky though, cause when it was all said and done she lunged at Chase and got him in a headlock as the wrestling began. At one point they actually did end up knocking the couch back, because wrestling always got violent. When others joined in it was a full on battle like it usually went. People were bitten and bruised and tickled and hit, making the living room look like a full on street fight was going down and every man was for himself.
Sky let out a sigh and laughed spread out no the floor with the flipped over couch behind them, and next to Chase and Gavin. She was totally out of breath, and who could blame her since the guys were twice her size and twice her weight most likely as well. It took a lot of energy for her to keep up with them and not let herself be the victim. Just as the wrestling was done was when she heard Katana's voice shouting at them. Sky groaned and raised her head off Gavin's arm to look at Chase. "Why can't we ever get a break from her?" she asked and her head went right back on Gavin's arm. Sky glanced at them in the doorway and rolled her eyes. She didn't even respond, all she did was lift her hand and flash her thin middle finger at them.
"I don't know why you're calling for me and Chase like we owe you something or we'd do anything for you. freak off man," she said and turned her head. Ok so he looks freaked up, but what a freaking pussy, the way Lurai said it that freaker had it coming and all. Chase is cool with him and all, I still kinda think he's a tool. Whatever he can go and help out that pussy who can't take a couple of hits. I'm comfortable and I promised Beast I'd only bug him outside of class when necessary. This ain't all that necessary, she thought with a smirk and kept her leg on Chase's just chilling out after the crazy wrestling.

When Gavin threw the milk bottle that hit him in the head right back at Chase, it was on. He left the his chair and dove at the two of them, knocking the couch back. One of the highlights of Walker, Texas Ranger evening was that somehow, someway a fight always broke out and Gavin ended up with bruises and bites. It was all in good fun and he liked roughhousing. It was even more interesting with Sky, cause say what you want about how skinny that girl is but she knew how to fight. Gavin knew he had at least three bruises from that girl and several bite marks as well. Chase and others got their hits in as well, but so did Gavin. He had a hard time with getting rough with a girl, but got over it quickly since it was Sky and she's no typical girl. Right then, he was sprawled on his back with Sky on his arm minding his wing, and he was tired.
Gavin looked back to see Chupacabra all bandaged up and looking out of it, but didn't get up to help. In part cause he didn't care for either of them, Katana for the fact that she just reminded him of the people he used to hang out with and he didn't like the way she treated other, and Chupacabra cause that guy just rubbed him the wrong way. It was probably because of what Riker said about the guy and Gavin had to admit that he was put off by that, especially because the guy didn't do anything to prove them wrong.
"I'm out for this. I'm tired from that shit and thanks to you Sky, I'll be feeling this wrestling for a couple of days," Gavin said and poked her lightly, not moving from the floor. "I'm good though, it's not like I need to see Beast just cause it got rough," he said with a laugh and yawned, his wings shaking out and spreading out to partly cover Sky. Na I ain't moving. Too comfortable. Ian shouldn't go either but he's too much of an honorable dude. Niki should make him stay, cause they don't really deserve the dudes help, he thought with a yawn. "Man that was nuts."

Seeing that Gavin didn't bother to respond to her question, Heather sighed and rolled her eyes. She poked him very hard in the rib cage and then let it go. If he wanted to talk about what what bugging him, he would tell her. She continued to rest her head again the birdbrain and felt very relaxed. She was enjoying the television and Chase's loud obnoxious voice as a combo; not something unusual. Heather quickly jolted her head away when the bottle was thrown to Gavin's head. She smirked and tipped her head to the Paragon. That's what ya get Croft, she thought with a giggle. And then the battle was on and Heather rolled her eyes again. She laughed as the trio made their bite and scratch marks while head-locking each other. Heather decided to enjoy the entire chair for herself and napped for a bit.
When she woke up, that was when Katana and her teammate Chupacabra came in. She jumped up when she heard their plead for help and she saw how banged up he was. "Oh my God," she said as she followed Ian to help the two down to the medical lab. Yes Heather wasn't a big fan of Katana, but if she needed physical help like now, she had no problem offering it. The same went for her teammate for teammates were supposed to stick together no matter what. "Come on, let's get him down there quickly," she said while trying to hold up Alejandro's other side. She looked to Ian and sighed. "I think you would do better in this department huh?" she said with a smirk.

As soon as the wrestling started, Sean moved to referee the trio that were really getting into it. He would have joined, but despite Sky's objections and taunting, he refused to put himself in a situation where he might hurt a girl. He was raised to be a gentlemen and never felt comfortable with the idea of a woman getting hurt. "And another night of some real wrestlin' has become, started off with Walker, Mutant Ranger covered in chocolate milk getting 'Can't Handle' the Chase in one mean headlock. Well lookie their ya'll I can't believe it, Wingman Croft just landed one mean tackle and OH the couch toppled over! I'm tellin' ya folks, we're in for one mean fight," Sean said loudly playing announcer to the group and up and moving on his feet to get a good look at them.
"It looks like 'Can't Handle' The Chase is outta the headlock but oh that was one mean slug in the stomach delivered by Wingman Croft. Walker, Mutant Ranger isn't letting up though, OH well folks looks like The Chase is gonna have to recover from that knee right in the gut. OH! He's up and aww down goes Walker, Mutant Ranger. I can't believe it folks he's sitting right on top of her, what will happen- Oh nice hit by Wingman Croft!" Sean said loudly and laughed. It was more for everyone else's entertainment since he knew that Ian got a kick out of it and Shimmer would probably giggle. It went on like that for awhile until the three of them tired themselves out.
Sean was sitting on the couch that was still toppled over when Katana came in with Alex. Sean was actually kind of upset with Alex. Lurai told him and Kate the story of what happened over dinner and it didn't sit well with Sean that the guy actually attacked her when he still had some control over himself. Sure Lurai egged him on, but thats just how she was and they were all used to that by now. She had become a bit more well mannered since he'd known her and when he heard the story, Sean had to side with her. He didn't take it lightly when girls were attacked, in this case by her own teammate. Sean got up and sat on the couch by Ian where he sat before, taking his drink and staring at the TV in silence. Though he would have helped in any other situation, this one was against his own moral ethics.

Alex felt Leah guide him to the rec room. He limped himself in with the support of his friend. With every beat of his heart the pain in his temples would spike. He heard people speaking in the room but everyone's voices were muffled and incoherent. Alex opened his eyes and the room was spinning violently. He closed his eyes to get rid of the spinning. His closed eyes only revealed the door from his dreams.
He felt someone support his other side. He tried to see who was there but it was too hard to see. He sighed and breathed in through his nose. He smelled a familiar smell of the person who came to support him. I think thats Heather. She always smells good. But if there are so many people here why do I feel only her. He opened his eyes and saw the silhouettes of the other students.
"Hey Heather is that you? Thanks for the help." Alex said softly.
Even though he wasn't as good as a teammate as he hoped to be Heather was still there. After what happened today I need to straiten up. I need to be a better teammate. Alex picked his head up lightly and tried to shake off the disorientation a bit causing a bit more pain. He was still limped over and his sense of balance was not as bad as earlier but he still couldn't stand on his own. He took some weight off the girls and kept his head low.

"Yeah, you are supposed to be the hero. Guess you better get to it, huh? Just go ahead and do your thing there..." she was really loving the back rub he was giving her and didn't want to share him with anybody else. Seeing Chupacabra looking like a train-wreck and Katana in a tizzy of a panic, which as she had come to recognize was the girls default personality trait, she shook her head "...I wont be here when you get done. Meet you- you know where -O.K....?" she grinned at him and winked.
Sending him off was always a rough thing for Niki, but she loved his muscley buns of steel and so watching him go wasn't sooo bad after all. She peeled her gaze away from her man's Adonis-hot body and watched the little group leave for the lower level. It was a good thing that Beast rarely left his labs at this time of night, but she felt sort of sorry for him in a way being stuck down there, mired in his work. It wasn't as if she and the furry blue doctor had been the best of friends to start with, but she had grown to like the guy. She even counted him as a friend and might, if a time of serious need ever arose, go to him for some kind of fatherly advise. Colossus was great as a Team Leader, but he seemed more of a coach, or an older brother than a father.
She shook her head at the thoughts and then found her mind drifting to her team. A mild anger washed over her at having the scattery Katana on their team of Acolytes. She knew the girl had far more potential than Frostbite, who had become fixated on trying to make her useless ice-weapons in team practice and filled with so much contempt for Haven and Ian that she was pulling the team apart. In a way it was a good thing to have Katana to replace her, already the girl didn't have many friends and that at least could work to Niki's advantage in getting the bone warrior to throw in her lot with the rest of the team.
Ian had agreed when Niki mentioned that trying to break the girl wouldn't work. She knew the roads the girl had walked down to get where she was with them now, because they were some of the same ones she had traveled herself. There was a difference though when it came to the two of them, because where Niki knew who she was and had accepted it, Leah it seemed, just didn't. It was Haven's guess that Katana either didn't know herself fully, or was trying to be someone she simply wasn't.
"The key with her baby," Niki had said to Ian just after dinner "is to encourage her, to praise her when she does what is cool and when she freaks up to just ignore her. She'll get that we're disappointed in the crap she pulls and if she want to fit in with us then she's gonna have to do what she thinks we'll like...oh, and we gotta stick up for her too now, cause like it or not she's one of us." She didn't like it and she knew that she had been in the same predicament not but two months earlier, having been put back on the Acolytes after the foray into Limbo. A situation that she had been almost completely responsible for on so many levels.
"Hell, she may be the biggest loser we got on our team... but she is on our team, so that means we take care of her. If that doesn't work then I'll kick the shit outta her myself, but I've been around enough foster kids, hookers and street trash to know the deal. Just my opinion Papi, but you make the call." She had shrugged her shoulders after giving her two cents on the situation. She didn't really care one way or the other but all the drama with Frostbite was enough for Niki to decide to speak her mind on this whole 'Katana Situation' without concern.

"Babe we took a shit load of risks today. We'd be pushing our luck now. Call it a night, I'll see ya tomorrow morning okay babe?" Ian said and bent down to give her a long kiss on the lips, not really caring who saw. It's not that he had a big thing for PDA, but damnit he was gonna say good night to his girl properly and anyone who had an issue could kiss his ass. "Check on Spitfire for me okay babe?" he said holding her chin gently with his hands and smiled at her before he walked away.
Ian walked to the three girls and the freaked up looking Chupacabra. Ian didn't really talk to the guy, only knowing through Riker that he was a pain in the ass and needed to man up. "Yea yea dudettes I got him. It's like Jumpdick at the Christmas party all over again," he said and picked Alex up with one hand like he weighed nothing and tossed his unceremoniously and roughly over his shoulder. The guy was a bit shorter than him and no where near as bulky as him so it didn't make it difficult moving around and seeing over him. "Man up bro, you ain't dead or nothing," Ian said and walked out of the rec room to the elevator to go to the Med Lab. "Whoever's coming to stand there and act concerned, let's go," he called over his shoulder.

Don't all get up at once, Leah thought as she looked across the room at her classmates, most of whom displayed no concern for Alex and did not move from their chairs. She made a mental note that Diesel seemed to rise but then stayed with his girl, Haven, instead of doing anything useful. The only one who immediately came rushing to help was little Shimmer who offered to go get Beast. Leah smiled sweetly and genuinely at the girl and said "Thanks...please, that would great." Just as Leah was thanking the little shape shifter she caught her former teammate Sky giving her the finger. She also heard loud and clear the comment about Chase and Sky not owing anything to Katana. She wanted to yell, This isn't about me you stupid bitch. Act like a freaking person for once and care about something other than your self., but she only thought it. This uncharacteristic restraint on Leah's part was in large part due to Heather coming up to help and taking hold of Alex's other arm to keep him from falling. "Thank you. I owe you one."
As Heather called for Diesel, Leah saw that he was coming over and thought better of her earlier skepticism. Maybe he was coming all along. I mighta judged too quick. Steadying Alex, who seemed to be trying to stand on his own, Leah waited breathlessly for her new team Captain to reach them, and when he did breathed a sigh of relief as he grabbed Alex and threw him over his shoulder. It's gonna be alright now. Beast will take care of Alex. Oh, sure, like he took care of Jumper. And why the hell is Diesel saying shit about Jumper....Ok he could be annoying but its been months damnit and he really was a good guy when you got to know him...No use getting mad about it now. But why not get mad? Because it won't help; that's why. And so she argued with herself, standing there confused and for a moment not noticing that Ian had headed off to the elevators and was calling out for anybody who wanted to come. "I'm coming, I'm coming. I hope I can do more than just worry" she said as the small group left the rec room. "Thanks Diesel. I owe you one too. And I'm sorry about earlier, really."

"Thanks I owe ya- thanks- oh thank you twoooo" Chase said mocking Katana, and doing a fair aproximation of her voice, gruff and manly as it was. "Sorry Alex-man!" he called out "I gots my hands full here but you got plenty a help now." he called out making excuses for not wanting to help.
He would have but that Katana bitch, oh did he hate her. She's the reason why Kyle left the school and was near death with some flu or something. She always tried to be so 'take charge' and her ideas were just silly walk in a cold ditch with slushy muddy icey snowy---GaaaaHHHH! What a stupid 'bone head' He hated her like eyeballs hated hot sauce, with her over dramatic full on extreme and almost flamboyant behavior.
"Yo Gavin! Dude do NOT say nuts around this one" he pointed to Sky in between them "She will thump your berries in a minute man, she's like the cheapshot queen." he reached over and grabbing Decay's shirt and with great effort pulled himself up to give her a huge lungful of rasberries on her stomach. Blowing out and moving his face around a bit to get the full effect, his slight growth of facial hairs tickling her.

"CHASE! AaaahahahHHAHhahaha!" Sky squealed with laughter when he blew a raspberry on her stomach. She wasn't extremely ticklish but the raspberry combined with the slight scruff of his facial hair was too much for her. "Heeheeheehee HAHAHa CHASE StooOOOppp!" Sky said loudly squirming under him. She grabbed his shoulder and pushed him hard off of her. Skinny or not, no one could ever say that she was weak and didn't have a good amount of strength in her. Sky pushed him on his back and came right with him, pinning him down by straddling his chest and grabbing his arms in place, putting all her weight on holding them down since Chase had some mega arm strength with all the swimming he did.
"Duuuude I am so getting you back for that," Sky said shaking her stomach so her shirt fell back in place. "And I gotta do cheapshots with you two gorillas ganging up on me half the time. You're lucky I only go for the cherries when desperate." She held his arms down with a bit of difficulty and grinned down at him , making a silly face. "The other weak spots are more fun," she added and one of the hands that held down his arm quickly shot to the side and tickled the sensitive spot on his side that she discovered about a month ago. She giggled and leaned down to blow a raspberry on his cheek. Sky shot off him and dove over Gavin to get out of Chase's reach.
Something was missing though, and it occurred to Sky a moment later as she sat up to look around for Sean. "Sean dude... No more announcing? You sound way sexy when you say 'Walker, Mutant Ranger.' Then again that hot cowboy accent of yours make you sound sexy all the time, so get over here and speak so I can drool over your voice and you can announce me being awesome," She said with a laugh and winked at the hot cowboy. Too bad he's taken, she said in her head.
The rest of the evening was the three on the floor getting the last of the wrestling out of their systems and ending up with another broken lamp. The day was a full one, and the night was just as full. They all played and lounged around, nearly falling asleep here and there until Iceman came in and told them to scram and go sleep since everyone had his class the next day and he declared that sleeping is not part of the lesson. Sky dragged a tired Chase up and went to her room, praying she didn't walk in on anything that she could live without seeing if thats where Lian and Riker ended up. That would not be a good thing to fall asleep too.
