Issue 1 Downtime

John had hit the gym for his daily workout. With the DR down, he was forced to use the rec center's equipment which barely had the weights he needed for a full workout. On his back, he breathed out and raised the over-sized high-density barbell into the air. Naturally, this was repeated.

Stupid thief. This way is sooo boooriiing.

Posted: **Mon Jul 29, 2013 8:34 pm**

"Now that is a scene of beauty."

Bear grinned, watching John perform his curls.

A wolf whistle soon followed.

His exposed biceps really were quite an impressive sight in his grey tank-top. Granted he didn't really sweat, a tank-top just seemed the right thing to wear.

He looked over, smiling, "Hey to you too beautiful."

Posted: **Mon Jul 29, 2013 8:46 pm**

Bear walked by, running a finger along said exposed bicep.

She then picked a barbell up of a slightly smaller weight, but a much, much smaller size, joining him.

"I'm kinda glad the Danger Room is down. It's good to get back to the basics."

Posted: **Mon Jul 29, 2013 8:59 pm**

"Well you don't have to take up damn near half the room to use superstrength weights."

Posted: **Mon Jul 29, 2013 9:05 pm**

"Nope! My petite figure only needs the quarter-room size Superstrength weights!"

She grinned and blew John a kiss, before beginning her own curls.

"I heard there's going to be a showing of the first War of the Worlds set up in town because Maldon is mentioned in the book or something. Would you... like to go?"

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2013 8:00 pm**

"Spend time with you, watching a scary alien movie?" She replied, smiling.

"Absolutely!"

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2013 8:18 pm**

"I thought you might," he chuckled lightly.

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2013 8:27 pm**

"How's your day gone so far?" She asked, curling and releasing with some very odd mechanics to her motions.

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2013 8:41 pm**

"Busy," he answered with a groan. "Thank God that Nash can take on some of the work. I swear, I think that kid might be smarter than I am."

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2013 9:00 pm**

"He's shaping up well, then?" She asked, flexing quickly.

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 10:14 am**

"Very well. Quite the gifted technobabbler too."

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 4:39 pm**

"I've seen some of his work.. Really, really impressive. I might see what he can do with some of my throwing balls."

She increased her curling speed, closing in on her limit.

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:16 pm**

John resisted the temptation to make a childish joke of that as he continued pumping something much heavier than iron.

"You haven't even let me yet," he fake-pouted... however a lizardman pouts.

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 10:48 pm**

"You just need to ask." She replied, smiling warmly.

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 9:40 am**

"I'd be honored if you let me," he smiled questioningly.

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 8:42 pm**

Bear grinned.

"I'll see if I can get a big stool for my workshop. It does get lonely there, sometimes."

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 8:53 pm**

"Well we can't have that can we?" he smiled.

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 8:55 pm**

"Not at all."

Posted: **Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:54 am**

"I think I can remedy that," he said.

Posted: **Fri Aug 02, 2013 9:35 pm**

Bear just smiled, putting down the weights and testing her throwing motions.

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 7:09 pm**

"And your day?"

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 7:17 pm**

"Long, and stressful. It's amazing how much we rely on the DR.. Planning on running training programs and working around its absence has been leaving my head in knots. Add on top the regular class load and studying, and... Ugh."

She exhaled dejectedly, just thinking about it.

"Lets just say being with you is the highlight of the day."

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 7:25 pm**

"And being with you is definitely mine," he smiled warmly as he sat up, done with weightlifting.

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 7:30 pm**

"C'mon, lets go for a jog. Strength needs endurance."

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 7:52 pm**

"I'm up for that," he agreed.

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 8:05 pm**

Bear led the way out to the jogging track, and began to stretch her legs.

"Urrgh.. Why can't all my muscles be superhuman.."

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 8:09 pm**

"Because the universe can't take that much awesome?"

"... okay, that sounded better in my head."

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 8:14 pm**

"Nice try, though!"

bear smiled, shook herself ready, and began jogging at a slow pace.

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 8:54 pm**

John jogged up alongside her, keeping pace.

"You know, I'm thinking we should workout together more often."

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 9:20 pm**

"Yeah, is a shame our schedules so rarely overlap.."

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 2:06 pm**

"We'll just have to make the best of when they do," he smiled.

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 4:15 pm**

Bear nodded with a smile, focusing on her pace for a while.

"Any new news from your sources? Are the kids up to anything?"

Posted: **Mon Aug 05, 2013 7:28 pm**

"I don't get to spend much time with the Institute kids and I'm still not mentoring anyone. As for back home, Dad's as busy as always and my sister's doing well. As far as she'll tell her dorky big brother anyway."

Posted: **Mon Aug 05, 2013 7:30 pm**

"Here's a secret- all big brothers are dorks to their sisters. It doesn't mean they don't love them any less, though!"

She grinned, nudging his side.

Posted: **Mon Aug 05, 2013 7:36 pm**

"I know, I know," he chuckled.

Posted: **Mon Aug 05, 2013 7:47 pm**

"C'mon.. You are strong. But are you fast?"

She smiled, increasing her pace, and pulling away.

Posted: **Mon Aug 05, 2013 7:51 pm**

"Now that's just cheating!" he laughed as he rushed after her.

Posted: **Mon Aug 05, 2013 7:56 pm**

Bear grinned, as she went a bit faster, just enough to stay ahead for now.
