Punishing the punished in the Garden

[Lymited~Ink]

Kat swayed softly from side to side as she walked with Riker to the garden. Once breakfast had ended, she found herself somewhat glad that it did, since all the commotion was starting to drive her crazy. She did leave the cafeteria with a giggle though, thinking of how the blue haired girl had caused so much commotion by sneaking off and leaving herself to get caught. It was simply juicy gossip that got to the teachers very quickly and had to laugh at the fact that it called for a staff meeting right after. It seemed they all knew the doings of the other students during the nighttime, but it didn't seem to add up to the problems caused by the blue haired girl and the one she had called the Joker.

Alas, it was not a matter concerning her at the moment and the constant gossiping had stopped for the time being, so it was fine by her. When it was brought up again then would she talk about it some more, but she didn't quite care to at the moment, seeing that she was with Riker, heading to where he had told her his punishment would be. Kat would've accompanied the other Paragons to wherever they decided to go after class, however she found it much more tempting to go with Riker instead, even if it meant she would have to help him in his little punishment. It didn't mean that they couldn't play around, and if she had her way, play around they certainly would.

"So, remind me brain again why ye got yerself some punishment, and then remind me how ye canoodled me into joining you?" she asked him, looking over at him with a teasing smirk. Even if she had to help him with his punishment, she didn't mind, especially since she found that the garden at the school seemed to have an almost calming effect by all the smells of the different flowers. It also showed her many pretty colors which she liked and would surely point out, but she was sure she wouldn't stay completely calm and mellowed, especially if she was making sure to tease Riker while he worked out his punishment.

[Riff~Raff]

"Well love, there could be several reasons fer ya ta be in this predicament," Riker said moving to sit under the Japanese Cherry Blossom tree, grinning rakishly at her. "Ya could be absolutely smitten wit me charm an' good looks an' are willin' ta do anythin' ta be wit' me." The smirk on his face was wolfish in every way as he looked Kat over. "Or ya could want a repeat o' last night an' this be yer way o' sweetin' the pot." His eyes moved over her form very blatantly. "Or ya jus' could enjoy bein' outside in the gardens. An outdoor Kat perhaps?" Riker said with a chuckle at his little joke.

True it was that Kat was someone he found himself slightly fascinated by, never coming across someone like her in all his years and finding her to be extremely amusing. He liked the goth look to her, almost like K'8 but in a different direction. Riker was often mistrustful of newcomers, but he found that the animal in him recognized the animal in her as a kindred spirit of the sort, and his instinct never sent him in the wrong direction.

"So which one is it love? I know I nailed it, an' I dun jus' mean you." The roguish grin was back on his face and he was finding that he had great fun baiting her. He didn't care that Colossus wasn't here yet, actually he preferred it since that meant all the more time to do as he pleased without supervision.

[Lymited~Ink]

Kat looked at the ground with a demure little smile as if she were trying to hide the real reason why she was there before looking up and giving Riker a devilish grin. "Why Riker, it be some o' some, and some o' none, and some, methinks would be in yer dreams," she said, still grinning as she tilted her head to the side cutely. "I'd make a wee sport o' making ye figure out which it be, but I think I'll set ye straight before yer head gets too blown up that I'll have to pop it with one of me nails," she said, sticking up her pointer finger for emphasis. Her blackly painted nail wasn't that long at the moment, but it was sharper than it looked.

"Now, to keep yer head at a reasonable size, I'll tell ye it's not cause I'm smitten with ye, though I will tell ye I like yer charms," she said with a smirk as she walked slowly from side to side, emphasizing the sway of her hips slightly since she knew he would be watching her every move, "I ain't willin' ta do everythin' cause I know yer just as willin' ta come ta me if ye really wanted, and let's see," she went on, tapping her finger gently against her chin, "A repeat o' last night oughta be a given mate, and I be not just an outdoor Kat, I be a wild Kat, but ye knew that already don't ye?" she said with a purr, still smirking as she took a couple steps closer to him.

She moved again, closer to him and acted as if she were going to straddle him, only when she got close enough she swung one leg gracefully over the bench to straddle that instead while facing him. Kat smirked as she slid herself back, just out of his reach to tease him a little bit more. "So," she said, letting her jet black hair fall around her shoulders naturally as she turned her darkly lined blue eyes on him with a smirk, "I be guessin' ye'll be gettin' down and dirty for yer punishment seein' as we be in the garden. Had I known ye wouldn't be needin' me to do that, I may not've come." She looked as if she was serious about it, just to see what he would do before she went on. "Then again, I'm always down fer gettin' ye that much more down and dirty, cause where be the fun if yer by yerself?" she said, smirking as she looked around the area, at the cherry blossom tree and at the various flower beds and shrubbery around them, all nicely kept and pretty looking.

[Riff~Raff]

The wolfish smirk was wide on face, the game of cat and mouse came exciting him all the more. He knew the game well, and he played it well. It was nice to have a crafty opponent, and a very attractive one at that. "Truer words were neve' spoken love, gettin' dirty be the best part o' life," Riker said leaning over and brushing a claw over her shoulder as if brushing away dirt. Instead of pulling away, he traced his claw gently down her arm, the claw sharp and had she moved it would have pierced her skin. "T'would be a shame ta see such lovely white skin smudged though, a shame indeed," he murmured in a low voice, the smirk deepening when he met her eyes as his hand fell away.

"Now tell me wee Wild Kat, how wild are ya truly. Does yer wild heart lie in the land or the sea?" Riker's own black eyes look deep into the ocean blue eyes, studying her and sating his curiosity on the new lass. "Says a lot bout a lass when she tells where her heart lies ya know. An' wit' a wild heart like yers lass, tis be sayin' a lot," he said scooting closer, but not too close. Just enough to keep up the beat in this game of theirs, and the game he loved so much. A game between two wild beings always proved more interesting, the senses all heightened to take in everything. The scent of pheromones, the sound of the heartbeat and the breath, it all came into play with two animals circling each other.

Riker was immensely enjoying the came, breathing in the scent of spices, rum and cider emitting from her pores, his smirk widening at the goosebumps the trail of his claw created. Their game was a fine one, and one played with the craft and grace of animals. The dance of the wild, and it was exhilarating to play as it was to end.

[Lymited~Ink]

Kat smirked as Riker tried to dig in to see what she was like while letting him see a visible shiver from the trail his claw made. "Have ye not seen me be me?" she asked with a laugh and shaking her head slightly. "Though I be not anywhere near the big ocean blue, not at home and not quite here, me heart lies with the sea. I believe I belong with some scallywags who roam the seas for long periods of time, but I don't have a problem makin' port for a good while and doin' whatever me heart pleases when I'm there. Like now, I be makin' quite a lot of do with bein' stuck on land for all this time, but I plan to get out there when I get me chance," she said, feeling like she was saying too much at once to one person, one that wasn't her best friends from home. She didn't know why she felt like she was saying too much, but the weird part was that she didn't mind. It was odd for her, but she wasn't going to let it ruin the little game they had going on. It was too fun to mess up, and she quite liked playing it.

"Be ye so against gettin' me dirty? Come now ye silly wolfman, it ain't like there's no antidote to dirt, especially such nice white skin like me own," she said, leaning forward a bit slightly so he could be teased by the show of pale flawlessly white cleavage that her black and pink corset emphasized before sitting up straight again in a movement as fluid as the ones she normally made. "It ain't like there be no showers or lakes round here that can't fix a wee bit o' dirt," she said, smirking at him as she inched back on the bench once or twice, to be just out of his reach again. "Or are ye one of the ones who hate taking a wee bath? Hm? Little bit o' water scare ye off?" she asked with a cute smirk as she inhaled the scent of him again from where she sat. A stronger whiff than the normal human nose would get, but unlike the human nose, hers hadn't been for so long all the while she kept that cat claw tattoo on her collarbone. A strong smell of the mix of cigarettes, whiskey and fresh scented soap so easily reached her nose again, and she leaned just a smidge back to continue teasing him in this fun game they were playing.

[Riff~Raff]

"Ye dun worry 'bout me takin' a bath love, I would think ya know by now that I like ta get a wee bit dirty." The rakish smirk on Riker's face widened at the game that they had going, but anyone that knew him would know that he wasn't one to play games for long. At this point he was just at his limit with the cat and mouse game. "I dunno 'bout you love but I think that we be a point in our lovely an' enlightenin' wee talk here were we..." Riker reached over and grabbed her waist and pulled her forward to him. They still had all this time to themselves since all the teachers were probably gonna be at the meeting for awhile.

Grinning still, Riker leaned forward and nipped her pale soft ear lightly. "They say silence is golden love," he whispered in her while his hands moved up her waist, tracing the stiff bones of the corset. He never understood the damn contraptions that women wore, but he wasn't complaining right now. All he knew was that they were fun to take off, and it meant that there was no bra in the way. His lips moved from the base of her ear to the base of neck, slowly and deliberately before moving back. "I consider those wee noises ta be better than gold though." Riker moved his hands to the back of her thighs and pulled them so they settled on either side of his waist.

"Now Kat love, gimme a taste of that wild sea be like," Riker said before moving a hand to her hair and pulling her lips to his. He liked this girl, and it was odd to him, but he could really give it a second thought while his hands moved up her waist and rubbed her thigh. It was an animal connection that he felt with her, and understanding on levels that no one else understood. Riker liked it, and planned to explore it further as a hand snaked up her back to the tendrils of her wild hair.

[Lymited~Ink]

Tingles ran around everywhere that Riker touched, making Kat not only purr happily in her throat but actually let out little moans as she kissed him back. Glad that he ended the game quickly enough because she wanted him to grab her already; if she inched back any further she would have slid right off the edge of the bench but she definitely liked the alternative and was quick to move closer. Her legs gripped around him slightly tighter so that she could slide closer to him, close enough for her to rub up against him as he ran his hands over her thigh and into her hair.

Pale white hands fell down to the bottom of his shirt to slip under after raking her nails over his back as she lightly nipped at his lip. Kat could feel the solid muscle that built Riker's back and this time, ran her fingers up his back with a feather light touch to tease him while she arched her back, leaning into him more before straightening out as if to squiggle in his grasp before pulling away for a short second. "The sea, it roars," she said breathily before letting a throaty growl before kissing him harder, enough to knock him back slightly, but not enough to topple them off the bench. She licked his lips before she nipped at them again before pulling back again. "The sea, it be pushy as well," she laughed with a breath before pushing him down so that he lay on the bench and she on top of him. Straddling him, she bit lightly at his neck while her midnight black hair fell around their faces, curtaining their view from everything else.

On the inside, when her thoughts were not mangled by the animal instinct kicking in, Kat found she felt little tingles in her stomach similar to when she liked something, and it was weird since she didn't really take to people if not for just one purpose, but it was something new. A new adventure so to speak, one that she thought she would carry on with just to see where it would take her, and she'd let it flow and go like the sea that took those who chose to float round in it.

Sometime later...[/size]

Piotr turned the corner walking with Kitty after the meeting. It was a very heavy meeting and at the same time enlightening. After allowing it all to settle, he found himself quite happy with the result of the meeting. He had never seen Cyclops seem so sure on a single person and with the backing of Emma and Hank, he left the meeting with a clear conscience and satisfied that all that was planned would be done for the better. Despite his good mood though, it didn't keep him from stopping dead in his tracks.

"Children really, this is not proper at all," Piotr called out interrupting the couple. He wasn't against any relationships the students may have, but he did require a certain amount of decency from them. He stopped and exchanged a look with Kitty, laughing slightly as it was her infamous wolf student again. He waited until the two were separated before glancing from Kitty to the couple. "Do retain some control for this activity, is that clear?" It wasn't a question up for debate, and it was said in a more of an expectant tone.

Piotr looked around and frowned slightly. "Where is Ian? Was he here already or did he not come yet?" he asked looking around for him. He knew that Ian would never skip out on a punishment, he had much more honor than that, especially if it was one that he issued himself. "We'll wait for him before we start anything. That does leave me to ask you Kat, on what you are doing here, other than enjoying Riker's... company," Piotr said with a raised eyebrow to one of their newest additions. Truth was he was amused by the whole situation, especially that Riker's extra curricular activities was brought up at one point by Kitty herself earlier.

[Shadowkat]

"Riker! She just got here two days ago. Oh what am I saying," Kitty said shaking her head and smiling despite herself. It was no secret that she had a soft spot for her team, and even though she didn't necessairily approve of Riker's promiscuous nature, she understood it on a different level as well. Kitty rolled her eyes and reached out to mess up Riker's hair and push his head lightly to the side. "I thought I told you to ease up on this, especially if you know that a teacher is going to be coming soon," her eyebrows quirked up at the Alpha wolf expectantly. He was a piece of work, but it would be a lie for Kitty to say he didn't win a piece of her heart.

She had a unique little team, and she loved them all and wouldn't trade them for anything. They each had a quirk about them that won Kitty over. In truth, she wasn't much better than Kurt when it came to indulging her team. She acted as the peacemaker within them and allowed them to freedom to find themselves and know that she was always there for them. Riker was a challenge at first, because both of them worked to get the other's respect. Kitty adored him now though, and what he did for the team was more than she could thank him for.

"I better not be getting any bad reports about you Mister," Kitty said sitting on the bench between Kat and Riker now and winking at Pete. "Or I'll start asking Pete and Hank to start doing on the hour bed checks." It was an empty threat, but he didn't need to know that and Kitty could tease him a bit. She was in a good mood generally after the meeting and was all for taking a new approach to her own kids. "Seriously though Riker, behave yourself."

[Riff~Raff]

Riker grinned almost sheepishly at Kitty and sat back on the bench, wiping the lip gloss off his lips. "Ye also told me I gotta start bein' more welcomin' ta people. That be exactly what I'm doin," he said with a cheeky smirk. He nudged his team leader with his shoulder playfully and stood up to stretch. He was a bit cramped in his previous position and took the time to stretch himself out. "S'not me fault that ya had a meetin' an' couldn' make it on time. I was here when I was supposed ta be, an' I thought I used that extra time productively." He winked at Kat and then looked at Kitty with an almost angelic expression on his face.

He flopped down on the grass, still grinning as his tail wagged slightly. "Fer all I knew that meeting ya had coulda lasted all day. So ta keep outta trouble this lovely lass decided ta occupy me time so she could keep a close eye on me. Thought ya'd be proud that I be keepin' outta trouble Kitty," Riker said puffing his chest out slightly all proud. "Plus I got her ta agree ta help out wit' whatever it may be that we gotta do. I be so good ta ya both," he said with a playful sigh as he looked at both Colossus and Kitty.

"Now as fer Ian, no bloody clue where that bloke be. Saw him headin' ta the basement on our way here, so he might be doin' somethin' there. Ya know him though, he never leave another bloke alone on the plank." Riker laid back in the grass, relaxing now that the heart racing moment was interrupted. He caught Kat's eye and winked at her, promise on his face that they would finish what they started later.

[Diesel]

A minute later, Ian rounded the corner slightly out of breath since he ran from the basement practically and flew past Gavin and Ivy in the kitchen without stopping for food to get outside. "Awww man!" he said when he saw that Colossus was already there with Kitty and Riker and that Kat chick who's hair was all messy. "I'm sorry I'm late Pete, I got caught up showing something to Kevin in the gym," Ian said when he jogged up to them. He felt bad that he made them wait and all but he did sincerely try.

"Heya Kitty teach, new goth chick, Riker," he said waving to them sheepishly and looking back to Colossus. "So what's up Pete man, we doing some stuff in the garden or what?" Ian didn't know much about gardening, except that he wasn't allowed to play football anywhere near his mom's prized rose bushes.

[Colossus]

Pete smile when Ian turned the corner, glad that he came on time. "Ian, it is good you came. And no we only just got here ourselves. Now I will tell you what we will be doing today," he said with a smile and gathered them around, looking over at Kitty briefly. She was only joining him for the moment, but to him it made the scenery so much more pleasant. "I know that we were to work in the garden, but I have another idea that is more beneficial, and will still have us deliberately working with our hands." He looked at the two boys and now the young girl that joined their little party. "With the new horses coming on Monday, there is a lot of work to be done. There are others getting the barn ready as we speak, but there is more work than just that. We are going out to the paddocks, were there is grass to be mowed and fences to be repaired."

He knew it was different than what the plans were originally, but Kitty had mentioned where most of her team was and all the work that needed to be done. The meeting that they just had gave Pete the sense that it was time they all start working as a family, and all of them working together for one project would be a good start. He wanted them all to start feeling that sense of family and know that its not just their own teams that are family, they all are in this together. "It will be hard work and we will get dirty, but it is something that needs to be done," he said looking around at them. "Are you all ready? It will be a lot of work but I know we can do it."

[Lymited~Ink]

Kat sat up straight on the bench, flipping her hair out of her face with a smirk as she glanced around at everyone, first the Mini-Giant, then to Colossus and the similarly named Kitty, and lastly to Riker, who she winked back at, quite looking forward to when this would be done. Oh aye, I'll make 'im pay for this, puttin' in some physical labor that be not what we like, yes, he'll pay, and I know he'll like it, she thought to herself as she smirked at him before looking away. She got up from the bench, putting both feet on the ground with a little sway, and saluted Colossus.

"Aye, cap'n sir, I be sure we all won't be mindin' gettin' dirty for a good cause," she said to him with a Cheshire cat smile and the quickest glance at Riker before making a pouty face at some of her messy hair that got back into her face. She flipped her hair again with a breath of a laugh and smirk, making a motion of placing a hand on her hip as her blue eyes flashed to everyone again. "What'll ye have me do, Cap'n Silver?" she asked, taking a majestic bow before straightening up again, awaiting orders. It wasn't her punishment to serve, but compared to knowing that Lian was working in the stables and Sky was off elsewhere, getting down and dirty in the gardens didn't sound too bad of an idea, especially with the right company.

[Shadowkat]

Kitty grinned widely and stood up, putting one arm around Riker and reaching up to try and put another one around Ian, but failing miserably due to the height difference. "Aye aye Captain Silver, oh I do like that. I may just steal that from you Kat," she said with a grin to the new Paragon. "Man up boys, we're going to have you do some hard labor to help build character as they say." She clapped both of them on the shoulder, giving Ian a wink.

Since Limbo, she felt such a strong connection to the young man, and they got along well. Kitty was very close to her team, but there were a select few that she watched out for outside of her team, Ian being one of them. In a way, he helped her get through Elixir's death. She had taken it very hard, and immersed herself in her kids and Pete and her duties as a teacher. It took her time to come to a peace with it, but like every time she lost someone, there was always a part of her that was lost with them.

"I'll be watching you boys work, and I give Kat the power to whoop your butts if you slack when I'm not there. And if I am there I'll introduce ya to my karate skills for slacking off," Kitty said grinning as she nudged both the boys, meeting Pete's eyes for just a minute to share a secret smile between the two of them. "I do plan to check on my own group while there. And Riker, leave Alex alone. The guy's going through enough and I will deal with him from now on. Got it?" Her eyebrows were raised expectantly while looking at her Alpha wolf. She was going to have a nice talk with Chupacabra and there was no time like the present.
