Another Day at the Brownstone.
"Okay, people!" Tess claps her hands together slightly. "Today's for estimation of various kinds. Shazam. Jacob. I need each you to stand under those things over there and hold the 'roof' up as the pressure builds. Tell me how easy or hard it gets to be, and definitely tell me before it gets dangerous. Flash, please monitor the equipment like I showed you earlier. Wildcat, you and I are going to talk reflex work in a minute. Fate, take off the helmet, please. I want to talk to Just Mark."

	"On it." Steven agrees, moving in a blur to the monitors as indicated. (Reply to this)

	The Helmet gets tugged off by thickly gloved hands. Mark doesn't get transformed out of uniform right away. His expression is flat for a moment and then he blinks as if he is waking up. "Ah Tess. Right. How may I help you?" He was fully aware she wanted to speak to him. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Okay, good, and the other question is... how far are you willing to go wit hit? I mean, I'm no magic expert, but it's obvious there are effects on you. What are the lines that crossing would make more difficult to come out of it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There is a.... Balance I have to maintain. For my own peace of mind. As you have noticed possibly I never go for lethal. But past that? I have a wide range of what I am willing to do.

	"I know. But H's capable. Me the man? Not so much?" Mark has nightmares about it. "Don't let me face the Wizard one on one. He Upsets Fate so Fate is more willing to go for more vile magic. I don't like what I think of as black. Chaos magic makes me nervous, it's too closely connected with demons and well, my foster brother is a Franciscan monk." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jacob looked a little wary, but went over to where Tess asked. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Tess flashes Jacob one of her rare smiles, encouragingly. The upper part of the contraption will start to increase the pressure, but it's all very gradual and with the data constantly relayaed to Steven, who'll have the failsafe switches available. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jacob increases his size in order to increase the level of his strength necessary to keep it up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fairplay 2011-09-24 04:19 am UTC (link)
	And Tess will look over Steven's shoulder some to see the data. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	"You got it, hon," Cat told Tess. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	fairplay 2011-09-23 06:43 am UTC (link)
	And the moment Tess is finished with other conversation -- "Heads up!" And a small handweight comes flying at Cat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2011-09-23 01:15 pm UTC (link)
	Cat's reflexed are good, catching the weight before it can go by her. "Good toss," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fairplay 2011-09-23 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Nice catch!" she replies. "So tell me, Cat. What would you most like to work on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2011-09-24 12:18 am UTC (link)
	"Me?" Cat asked, maybe just a little surprised. "I wanna see how you got out of that half-nelson the last time we was sparrin'." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fairplay 2011-09-24 01:48 am UTC (link)
	"On it, then." Suddenly, Tess will proceed to do her very best to put Cat into a half-nelson. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2011-09-24 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Tess was one of the few non-metahumans Cat figured might have a chance of taking her in a fight. And some days, she'd give even better odds to the younger woman. "Okay," Cat grunted, "ya got me... Now what's yer trick for gettin' out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fairplay 2011-09-24 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	"First thing you need to do is resist the urge to look at me at all while you're dealing with me and instead turn to look at your 2 o'clock. ...This does coincidentally put you looking at Steven's excellent backside, but I'll excuse it for now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2011-09-24 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, it is a nice, keister, I have to admit," Cat laughed, "and I do appreciate the eye candy, but I am quite happy with Mark, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fairplay 2011-09-25 02:12 am UTC (link)
	"I do, and well you should be. Now, the key is to make sure you keep looking at your 2 instead of at me as your left arm comes up to expert pressure on my forearm." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2011-09-25 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	Cat followed the directions. "Okay, I think I got this..." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Will nods in favor as he walks under, holding his arms up and begins to exert pressure against the roof of the contraption. "O-Okay, Tess, you can p-put more pressure." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	fairplay 2011-09-24 04:18 am UTC (link)
	"Great. Just let us know how it handles." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	geekgreek 2011-09-24 04:26 am UTC (link)
	Will can feel the increase in pressure, but he doesn't feel as if it would be an issue. It feels fine. "I-I'm good for more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wouldn't expect any less from anybody who got a knack from Atlas." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Will is going to blush a bit. He should be used to it. Having someone compliment him was going to make Will blush, and a pretty girl is going to make sure to make him blush.

Still, she has nothing on Avia.

Will pushes up, and even as he feels the weight of the "roof" increasing he stands firm, although there is a shift in his body position that would tell Tess that Atlas strength is being brought to bear.

	Tess would never dream of trying to displace Avia in Will's affections -- or hormones -- even if she hadn't started dating Steven. And she's taking in everything he's doing with even more intent observation than she gives the data feeds. (Reply to this)(Parent)
