Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 5:02 pmRyan walked in, heading toward the weight machines in hopes that they'd help clear out his mind. Flying apparently wasn't working. "Hey there, stranger."

Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 5:09 pm"Hey there yourself. How are you doing?" Her treadmill started to slow down.
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 5:56 pmRyan grunted as he started pulling down the weights. "Not bad, I guess. Kind of makes me worry about my 'bad' threshold now, though. Been a weird week. How about you?"
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 6:02 pm"I've been recovering from jet lag and letting my 'weird shit' meter return to normal." She hopped off the tread mill and let it finish it's routine on its own. "Need a spotter or do you have a legion of groupies coming to do that for you?"
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 6:06 pmRyan smirked. "My 'adoring public' thinks I'm in London right now, for your information. Spot away."
"So what flavor of weird shit are we talking?"
"So what flavor of weird shit are we talking?"

Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 6:19 pm"Magical weird shit handed down by John's ancestors," she said as she moved into position to spot.
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 6:32 pm"Ugh. I've had enough magic for a while," Ryan said with a grimace. He waited for her to get into position before he started again.

Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 6:37 pm"You too?" She watched the weight carefully.

Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 6:57 pm"At least you were able to pull them out."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 7:06 pm"Yeah, but it was still... I feel like I've still got that place clinging to me. It's like I can feel them clawing at my head or something."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 7:08 pm"And it's the sort of clinging that hot showers don't help with. I've seen a few things similar during my internship."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 7:12 pm"Exactly. And it's weird this time because I didn't even DO anything. Everything just ran from me, but I could... I don't know, it just felt like this instinctive hate and rage, I just wanted to tear the whole place down around me." He shuddered, then started another few repetitions.
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 7:15 pm"It was hell. I can't say you wouldn't be justified in tearing the place down."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 7:53 pm"Well yeah, I'm not saying it would have been a bad thing. That just isn't the sort of thing I usually think, you know?"
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 7:54 pm"Strange times create strange feelings," she said with a shrug.
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 7:56 pm"Yeah, I guess," Ryan said "Anyway, that's my week."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 7:58 pm"Sounds like an intense one. I accompanied John through some ancient puzzle tomb put together by his ancestors. It was... strange."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 6:49 pm"Sounds that way," Ryan said, setting the weight to a heavier setting before he starts again. "Everything went okay, then?"
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 6:50 pm"Seemed to," she said. "Everyone made it back in one piece at least."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 6:55 pm"Heh, maybe I need to take some notes from John. Every time I go out someone seems to come back traumatized."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 6:56 pm"One piece does not mean not traumatized. I'm fairly certain I traumatized his sister by phasing her through a cliff face to save her life."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 8:03 pm"I'm getting the feeling there were some things on this trip I'd have loved to see," Ryan chuckled.
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 8:07 pm"You might have actually been useful for more of the mission," she said with just a hint of irritation. "Which reminds me that I need to file the papers with Will to get my name off the reserve list."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 8:12 pmRyan frowned up at her a minute. "What, not your thing?"
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 8:14 pm"If it wasn't my thing, I wouldn't have spent nearly the last two years doing it. I just need more time before doing it again."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 8:23 pm"Ah. This is your vacation from the stress?"
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 8:35 pm"I think I would like my stress avenues to be a bit more normal, yes."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 8:44 pm"Heh, welcome to Xaviers. Let me know if you have a week where you feel anything remotely like what you'd consider 'normal'."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 8:45 pm"You forget just how skewed my vision of normal has become."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2014 4:26 pm"Heh, all right, I'll bite. What would you consider normal stress avenues?"
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2014 5:23 pm"Well, take your best guess. I've been jaunting around the world, flitting from disaster area to disaster area. So what do you think I'd like to stress about?"
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2014 5:48 pm"Well I don't think you like to stress about anything. But yeah... this is a step above rescue operations, I suppose."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2014 5:53 pm"So, we'll see, but for now I think I'd like to have a bit of relaxation before heading off to spend the holidays with my parents."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2014 6:47 pm"More power to you. I get to spend the holiday on the Helicarrier," Ryan said, rolling his eyes as he started to do another set.
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2014 6:50 pm"That sucks. No time off at all?"
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2014 8:08 pm"Goes by seniority. And I'm waaaaaaay down the totem pole."
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2014 8:00 am"So you don't get to do anything for the holidays?" Then she paused, "I'm sorry, that's probably not helping, is it?"
Re: I13DT - Not Crazy Enough To Jog Outside
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2014 9:36 pmHe grinned as he let the weights back down. "It's all right. It's what I signed up for. I'm sure something exciting will happen. Or else we'll look for Fury's private bar in the helicarrier."
