XU Games - Locker Room Aftermath (Womens)

by **Melissa Castro** » Mon Nov 10, 2014 11:39 am

Melissa had visited the Med Center long enough to get the diagnosis of nothing serious and then had headed for the showers. Now she was in the locker room, getting dressed with a nasty bruise forming on her right side.

"You might want to get that looked at," Mira said, coming from around the corner and pointing at the bruise.

"Bruised rib," she said. "It'll heal." Then she glanced over to see who was speaking and her eyes went a little wide. "Um... hi."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 7:15 pm

"Hi," she said, amused at the reaction.

"Didn't pick that one up in the lighthouse, I trust?"

by **Melissa Castro** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 7:21 pm

"No. Reinjured it in the cafeteria fight," she said with a shrug. "I shouldn't have turned my TK off. I got cocky."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 10:53 pm

"Someone surprised you, did they?"

by **Melissa Castro** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 10:56 pm

"Little bit," she admitted. "I'm not used to fighting with a team. I haven't quite learned to play well with others yet."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 10:57 pm

"Oh, that's the hardest part. They never do what you're expecting, do they?"

by **Melissa Castro** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 11:00 pm

"The entire dynamic changes. Plus, everyone reacts differently to psi-blasts." That last sentence may have been a little sheepish.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 11:22 pm

"Hit the wrong person?"

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 7:33 am

"The metal high schooler, while he had me up in the air. The floor comes up pretty quickly."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 2:27 pm

"It IS fairly unforgiving, isn't it?" Mira chuckled.

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 2:29 pm

"Especially when it's tile," she said with a chuckle of her own. "So how did I manage to rate the Phoenix's attention?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 2:31 pm

"Oh, I don't think anyone around could have missed the action on campus today. Especially when half of it took place in my house."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 2:33 pm

"Ah, well, it was quite the spectacular show. Shifters and metal people, telepaths and I thought I heard a clap of thunder at one point."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 2:48 pm

"Yes, it was all very...showy."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 2:49 pm

"I think it was sort of meant to be. Let people show off what they could do."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 2:58 pm

"Well, I suppose if people enjoyed themselves..." she said, a bit noncommittally.

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 3:01 pm

"I did," she said. "Even heard my team won, so that's just icing."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 3:04 pm

"Well, congratulations. Is there a prize?"

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 3:06 pm

"I... honestly don't know. I don't think so. Maybe it's one of those virtue is its own reward things."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 3:21 pm

"That, and the memories," Mira said, pointing at the bruise.

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 3:23 pm

"It'll fade like all memories," Melissa said, tugging on a t-shirt to cover up the bruise.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 3:54 pm

"Well, that's some good news, at least. Try not to hurt yourself too badly, aye?"

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 4:10 pm

"Comes with the territory," she said with a shrug. "I'm sure you've had your share of knocks."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 4:27 pm

"Not for quite some time, actually."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 6:12 pm

"That must be nice."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 6:45 pm

"It's all a matter of how you approach things."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 6:54 pm

"I would imagine the list of people who pick fights with the Phoenix is relatively short."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 7:12 pm

"Not so! Historically, quite a few people did. When I was younger, I often fought on the front lines with the X-Men."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 7:26 pm

"Let me rephrase, the list of people who picks fights with the Phoenix and are still capable of doing so is short."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 7:57 pm

"Oh, that depends on a large number of factors."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 8:00 pm

"Such as?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 8:46 pm

"My mood at the time, for one."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 8:54 pm

"Useful information. Not that I intend to pick a fight with the Phoenix. My mother taught me better than that."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 9:30 pm

"It's not the worst advice I've heard."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 9:45 pm

"She is full of good advice or believes herself to be at least."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 9:48 pm

"Many people believe themselves to be full of good advice. Fewer are the people who actually are."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 10:45 pm

"She was doing the superhero thing for a while before I was born, so I'm fairly certain she knows what she's talking about there."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Nov 15, 2014 1:56 am

"Experience doesn't necessarily breed wisdom. Even the leader of a team of superheroes may, in fact, be an idiot."
