After getting a decent night's sleep, Kitty headed out to the basketball courts after sending messages to her team letting them know she was holding a training session at the courts. She had set everything up to the best of her abilities, and tried to think of something her students could work on.
For Aqua, she figured she could draw water from the pool nearby and practice her technique, so she could stand wherever she wanted, really.
She had little relic-like objects hidden around the area of the basketball courts for Riff~Raff, who could work on honing his hunting skills, as well as running, for he had enough space to do so. She had similar things out for Puppy~Love, but left them for her brother since as far as she knew, she was still out cold after Emma put her out.
In one area of the courts, objects of different sizes and weights were placed near each other for Clutch to test her ability to use telekinesis. She could see how far she could go and work on what she couldn't lift, and learn control.
For D'mnchyld, she was going to talk to her, since her ability included her own blood. She planned to tell her to use her blood only when she needed to, and to work on maintaining what blood demons she had already created.
Elixir was a partially interesting case. For her, tears were able to revive the dead. She would be most useful in the most dire situations should any situation go so awry that someone actually died, but she decided to take her under her wing and teach her some of the martial arts she knew.
She sighed as she crossed her arms and slowly paced the courts, waiting for her team to show with a little smile.

Riker walked out onto the basketball court and smiled at Miss Pryde. He looked around to see if his sister was out yet. "Hey Miss Pryde is Puppy~Love up yet?" he asked stretching out his limbs. Training started today. Training, something he was use to doing with just Puppy~Love and no one else. It would be interesting to see what she had set up for him. He jumped forward on his front to hands and started to walk with his feet towards the sky, stretching out his front hands as much as his legs. He walked up to Shadowkat waiting for her answer.

Kitty turned as she heard footsteps and smiled as she saw Riff~Raff come onto the court with a smile. "No, she isn't, but I've left a message with her saying to come down when she's ready," she answered as he stretched. "For you, Riker, I've set up in random places around here, little relic-like things. This is what it looks like," she said, holding up a miniature statue that wasn't too big, but not too small. "Your task will work on honing your hunting skills and then running. Catch the scent of this little statuette and then search the grounds. I've laid out five for you. Afterwards, I'll have you run laps, okay? We want you fast, don't we," she said with a smile after briefing him on his task.

"Yes ma'am" he said saluting her before standing back up. He stuck his nose to the statue sniffing it. It was an interesting scent. He backed up a moment before letting out a sneeze. "Uh, smells old" he said shaking his head. He laughed a little. "Alright" he said before taking off his shirt. He was use to running bare, but for Shadowkat's sake he'd keep his pants on. He got down on all fours and sniffed the ground. He closed his eyes and blocked out all sound concentrating only on his nose. Before he knew it he caught a scent. He arched his back before launching himself towards it quickly, going about a fourth of the speed he could. He didn't want to wear himself out quite yet.

Heather walked back to the basketball court after talking to Jumper. She needed to put on her uniform, as she expected that what what they were for. She surprisingly didn't need her jacker for although it was a bit chilly, her suit protected her from most of the cold. She saw Kitty and smiled. "Hey Miss Pryde," she said warmly. "What are we doing today?" She put on the gloves she made for her uniform. She luckily has some similar fabric hidden in her sewing case and used her portable sewing machine to make them. They fit her hands perfectly and kept the warmth in, even though the fabric was so thin.

Kitty laughed lightly at Riff~Raff's reaction to the statuette and smiled as he ran off to do his training. Hearing more footsteps approaching, she saw Aqua heading over, and in her uniform. This made her smile, to see that she was putting it to use, even though it was only training. "Hello Heather," she replied with her warm smile. "Ah, you will be working on your technique today. During the fight, I saw you work the water here and there, and I can tell you've been practicing on your own, but I'm going to have you practice some more. Gain more control, you know?" she said, using her hands to help explain in a poor imitation of how she saw Aqua use the water yesterday, and lightly laughed at herself since she knew she probably looked silly.
"Now, you can draw from the pool. It's close enough, so get started, okay?" she said smiling as she waved a hand lightly to indicate she should begin.

Heather nodded as she heard Kitty's explanation of why she was invited to practice. "OK," she said with a giggle as she saw her leader attempt to imitate her powers. Heather smiled and lifted her hands in the air, clearing her mind of everything else except using her power. She closed her eyes and felt the pool water in front of her. She felt the lake water too, only stronger since she was much closer than she was yesterday. With her mind, she drew in a thick river of the pool water toward her and allowed it to orbit her body. She opened her eyes, satisfied that she was able to hold on to her concentration and target, and pulled more and more gallons of water as each second passed by. She was improving quickly, however she still had much more to accomplish and discover about her powers.

As Sara still had not found her assigned room nor caught up with Ms. Frost she didn't know where her uniform was. Really she didn't know where any of her things were. Consequently, she was wearing the same clothes Leah had lent her, which were nice but quite too long as she was only 5'3". As she approached the basketball court for training any nervousness about what the day might hold was relegated to the corner of her mind, as all her thoughts were consumed by getting permission to room with Leah. They'd gotten along famously last night and she really wanted them to be roommates and Leah seemed to feel that way too. Rooming with a new friend would be a lot better than having a room to herself, no matter how nice.
Upon getting to the courts Sara found Ms. Pryde putting Riker through his paces as well as working with a girl whom Sara did not know. Hesitantly, Sara walked up to her teacher and smiling shyly said, "I'm sorry. I got here as soon as I coud. I couldn't find my uniform. You see I got lost last night and stayed in somebody else's room. Leah's actually. She and I kind of hope we could room together...but first we need to find my stuff..oh, and get permission." It all flowed out somewhat incoherantly but she hoped Ms. Pryde would understand.

k'8 came walking out to the court with her hand raised to shield the bright sun from her eyes. She didn't know if her uniform had arrived yet, Ms.Frost had told her on christmas morning that it was on order and would be arriving in "a Few Days".
She was pale and thin and didn't look very heroic at all in the way she walked, her oversized combat boots clumping heavy on the ground. "Hey Shadowkat, is my uniform in yet?" she asked as she approached.

Riker had already found three of the five hidden objects but the fourth one seemed to allude him. He paused a moment letting out a loud sneeze. 'Aw man, I think I'm allergic to dust, or old things, these little statues wreak' he thought thinking of the smell that was truly not that pleasant. He paused a moment and closed his eyes once more. Concentrating he started to sift through scents before hitting the one he wanted. "Got it!" he said happily and ran off to go collect the fourth statue.

Kitty smiled as she saw Elixir head in in a rush. Hearing her rush out what she had to say, she let out a little giggle. "Sara, it's okay, you're not late. And you don't have your uniform yet, I only took your size yesterday, but I'll have it by the next time I see you, okay? That's fine, I'm sure you can talk to Miss Frost about sleeping arrangements, and I'm sure your belongings are where your room should be," she explained with a smile.
As she finished speaking to Elixir, D'mnchyld came too. Her smile grew as she saw that her team gathering for their practice. "Like I said to Sara, I've only taken your size yesterday, but I will have your uniform by the next time I see you as well," she answered. "I wanted to talk to you about how we'll have you train, k'8," she said, looking at her with a small smile.

The pool was nearly emptied at this point, and Heather felt her body get weak. It was too much water for now and she stopped the draining process. She focused on maintaining the water she had now and had it continue to circle her body in various rings of water. She bit her tongue, trying to focus on stopping the water right in its place as she did in the shower. However it was much more water to control and all she was able to do was slow down its speed.
She looked to Elixir and D'mnchyld as they approached the practice area. She winced at their arrival and looked to Shadowkat. "How is this Ms. Pryde?" she said with a smile.

Kitty smiled as she watched Aqua practice control the water from the pool and made it circle around her for a time and could see she was getting tired from doing it. "You're doing well, it looks as if you're gaining more control of the water. Good job! If you want, just put the water back in the pool and you're free to go," she said with a little laugh as she tilted her head towards the nearly empty pool.

"Oh, ok I guess. How about I show you what I can do?" Katie said and she pulled out a small blade, no more than three inches long. The very tip of it was snapped off so the original lenght was longer, but it looked a bit gnarled and nicked up along the blade so it would surely cause a jagged painful cut. Those were the best for her since they took her away from the pain of this life that she felt inside her heart with a pain that she could feel in her skin.

"Really?" she said shocked. She just got here and all she needed to do was to show how much she improved? Wow. She smiled and began to push the water back to the pool. "If you say so," she said a bit confused. She didn't mind staying longer, however if she was wasting her leader's time then she would just continue to practice on her own. Heather slowly returned the pool water back into the pool, making sure she didn't spill it all over the basketball court.
