Not part of the plan.
It was a mandatory team workout session with all the trimmings. Currently, they were in Phase two, which involved matching obstacles courses for the Flashes with speed timers and little tweaks to handle each of their particular weaknesses. A sparring-grounds situation of Cat Versus Jacob -- Tess had been gradually working at this and really hoped to get Jacob a little more confident on how to deal with a potentially violent situation -- and Lee Versus Layla. She and Mark were mostly taking a breather during Phase Two so that he could explain some how various precautionary spellwork was done.

	"I..," he gulps once. "O-okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lee had his sword out and was standing in a ready position waiting for Layla to get ready. He currently wasn't using any fire power since he didn't know what she had in mind for this practice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As always with obstacle courses, Steven is thrilled. Succeed or fail doesn't matter so much as pushing himself against the hardest obstacles and tricks, and working out the solutions, like a quick-shifting puzzle game. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Obstacle courses were fun and could be challenging. Iris liked seeing them as a big game to be won. She laughed as she passed each obstacle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tess observes everyone else as she listens to Mark. "Good to know," she says to his information. "Belief, I've got to admit, is not going to do me personally any good, but it's good to know. But in terms of your own methods, can you show me how you'd throw out a shield over the room, so I can think more about what we might end up working within?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course." He pulls the Helm of Nabu back on. He holds out a hand preparing a spell. The light seems to not hold the same tone of golden light the others may have gotten used to and Mark visibly stumbles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The hue change doesn't escape Tess, and then he's stumbling. "Fate, you okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2012-11-12 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	"All right," Cat said, oblivious to various Fate related issues, "I'm coming at you." She threw her first punch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2012-11-13 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	He knew the punch was coming, but it still didn't stop him from instinctively flinching. He managed to get his hands up for a block, but it was more covering himself than a formal technique. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2012-11-14 12:08 am UTC (link)
	"Okay good," Cat encouraged. "Now, when I come atcha from the other end, ya grab and pull me down, okay?" She threw her other punch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2012-11-14 12:17 am UTC (link)
	"Wait, what? Ah!" Jacob jumps a little at the punch, growing a little in response, the punch hitting him, but not with as much damage as it would have. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2012-11-18 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"I'm fine." He straightens then his posture changes. "It's the rest of you who are out of Balance. Even you Tess Holt. You should be ashamed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Exscuse me? Fate, you need to sit down..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2012-11-18 03:41 am UTC (link)
	Distracted from her punching of Jacob, Cat's attention was focused on Mark. "Mark Clearwater, what in the Sam Hill are you doing?!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brightestknight 2012-11-18 03:44 am UTC (link)
	Lee shifted his focus towards Mark curious about what was happening there. It certainly sounded odd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2012-11-18 04:27 am UTC (link)
	"This place is out of Order." He ignores Cat and then begins to cast a spell. Things start moving and righting themselves as if everything had to be Exact and Equal in every way. "I will not sit, either." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The yelling caught Iris' attention and brought her to a stop. "What's going on?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2012-11-18 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	Jacob didn't like this one bit. Angry people with magic had a special place in his list of frightening things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aaand, the helmet needs to come off now." Tess steps toward him to grab his wrist before he can complete the spell. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2012-11-20 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Mark," Cat growled, "you start talking sense right this minute!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantcatchme 2012-11-20 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	Oh this was bad. Very bad. One thing to do. Iris ran full speed at Mark hoping that the collision would stop him from finishing his spell. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2012-11-21 02:14 am UTC (link)
	It takes a moment to realize anything is going on. Its when Iris breaks out of their not-race that he looks over. Oh, that's bad. Seeing others moving for Mark already, Steven tries a different tactic, trying to steal some of Fate's speed to give them more time to react. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brightestknight 2012-11-21 02:19 am UTC (link)
	"You need to stop this," Lee says as his sword ignites with flames. He did not like the looks of this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	macemeetface 2012-11-21 01:33 pm UTC (link)
	Layla gripped her mace. "Just take a step back and calm down there, Mark." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2012-11-28 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	Mark starts to slow down for a fraction of a second. Then Iris sends him bouncing across the room. His helmet seems to glow a little brighter and instead of casting the spell like he had planned to originally he strikes out with a blast of arcane energy. "No." He isn't going to just stop.
