*she emerges after 5 minutes in working togs and heads down the stairs and to the gym. once there she's involved in her exercises. she works hard. using each apparatus to the extent of its abilities. some are used in a manner they weren't originally designed for. some she uses correctly, and others she studies them and what moves. then uses them in her style thinking that use is anything better than nothing.
*she is content for now, to work out her muscles. twisting and bouncing off one item after another .. she pauses holding onto a ring with one hand and then drops to the floor. 'jeez .. i'm hungry'

" Over time? Then I take it Alice offered you a spot on her team?" Avi glanced over as he turned a corner. " Yes, it really is hers and Isamu's team. I just offer a little senior member's advice from time to time when asked. I'd prefer to be on the front lines than standing back and tossing orders. I'm usually the team's medic, but I didn't argue when Sierra wanted to look after things after that skirmish. She needs the practice mimicing my healing powers, and that was a safe place to do it. Don't be surprised if she wants to try to copy you too at some point."
*****
" If I had known that, I would've brought more." Janie said, tossing a granny smith to Sierra. " Now I see why dmitri said you were worried if the gym would stand up. If anyone asks, Dim and I are gonna go out for a while. We'll keep our banadios on just in case."

*Sierra chuckles as she bites into the apple* ' ... k .. mmm ' *chew chew swallow* 'just gotta remember that yer not a meta, so i gotta be careful. but i'll let anyone know if they ask. they usually don't really listen to me tho. so i'm keeping to myself more. i don't mind. i have to be careful of how i hold things, so its cool .. be careful and have a bit of fun'
*she clamps the apple in her teeth and moves to the rings and jumps up and then hangs by one hand and takes another bite of apple as she curls up the rope by sheer will and strength. she waves with the free hand and then grabs the other ring and stays upright and then slowly descends until her arms are straight out in a horizontal line .. and balances there. working on her strength core training, just like back in the circus

Isamu watches Ashley leave, thinking for a moment how close he came to losing her today. Then in answer to Kristian he says, "I do not think that we will be able to on our own. I think that the difference between those affected and those not affected was a matter of random chance. Like a roll of dice(pun intended). Perhaps Avi has access to some technology that would protect our minds. If not, then maybe Alice can counteract it. We will have to discuss it with her when she returns."

*the arms tremble briefly .. and then a lot harder as she strains to stay in position. then the body whips about like a pendulum and then knifes through the air and tucks in a tight somersault. her feet plant on the ground and then she slowly stands up and looks at the rings.
'well that coulda gone better. maybe longer. man am i ever out of practice, thats bad. gotta get back into my morning practice sessions'
*she sighs, breathing hard and then finishes the granny smith apple. a frown on the face shows she isn't pleased with how she did. 'yup .. gonna need a lot more training .. i wonder if its possible in .. ' *tries to picture doing exercises in stone form .. or metal .. or even crystal .. then figures that if she did, the gym would most definitely need replacing

Kristian nodded, " If not then maybe Trevor's friend. Is, did you get the impression she was holding back?"
As she continued her work out, sierra could sense Ashley pass by out side. she had paused a moment by the dor before continuing on towards the beach.

"She may have been. It would not surprise me. She was after all engaging her brothers. If you had to face a family member, would you want to use the full force of your abilities on them? I know I would not. If we are involved in another battle with them, and she is with us, the best tactic would be to make sure she is not facing either of them."
After pausing for a moment and looking out at the ocean he says, "perhaps we need to do some research. I must ask Avi if we have access to a database of known powers. Then we may be able to match our opponents abilities with those in the database so that we know how best to counteract it."

Tom looks over at Avi. "Haven't had too much time to talk to Alice because of the thing with her and Jason. Doesn't matter: I don't think I want to work for the government. I'll help whenever I can, but for now I want to focus on school and writing."

Avi nodded. " The only thing the agency really does for us is sign the checks anyways in exchange for keeping them up to date with progress reports.Up until today, they consisted of ' Traning is ongoing. No major activity.' for the past couple months. Of course all hell had to break out today." He glanced over with a smirk," don't worry, no names get used for frelancers like yourself."
Kristian nodded. " We may be able to access it from Janie's computers upstairs too, mon. If not maybe we should get her to start one for us on the people we face?"

* Sierra heads outside now, with every intention of going and working out on the porch floor and work up to the shifting sand as it is more of a challenge to do things on.
* she exits the gym and calls out 'gym's free now' .. then gets the door to outside open and heads out there. she uses the furniture to do stretches on. in her stretches, she takes a note of where Ashley is.
* Si leaves her alone to her thoughts and wonders if there is anything she knows that will help. then recalls her mom stating once. 'if they want help, they'll come to you and ask. stop trying to hard'.
* stretching complete, she heads for hte sand now and proceeds to do an entire workout. she will pause to look at the person and then stands up and talk or answer.

As Sierra moved outside, she could see Ashley had walked down the beach to sit in the sand. At first glance, she seemed to be just sitting there, but on further inspection, it looked like some sort of yoga or aerobic exercise she was doing on the beach.

* Sierra takes a mental note of where Ashley is so she wont careen into her during her workout. one of the tricks she had to learn early, since she wouldn't feel the damage from the injuries she could have.
*she then continues with a variety of exercises and makes sure to not intrude of Ashley's space .. but angles wrong and in her process of back-flipping, finds herself face first in the ocean. Her gasp of shock has her swallowing water and blinking as the wave breaks in her face, leaving bits of seaweed about her hair and face.

" You okay? " Sierra heard Ashley over the braking surf. " You really need to work on that landing." She was grinning slightly as she watched and was starting to get up

'Yeah .. i just realized that .. seaweed doesn't do a ting for my hair .. or taste that good. another reason to not trust it .. the ocean i mean. it just jumped into my way .. '
* Sierra is slowly standing up and spitting out a mouthful of saltwater taste. she steps out of the surf and looks at her tracks, tryin to see WHY she ended up in the water and sees the small hump in the sand she avoided and then didn't stop in time.
'well .. note to self .. more practice, just don't go downhill or i'll wipe out .. again. so other than me getting wet, are you okay? .. what with everything thats happening i mean. sides, not sposed to go anywhere by yourself. but its cool if you want to be alone. i'll just head back to the house .. '

" Yeah, it's funny when the ocean moves like that," ashley smirked. " I'm fine, used to do this alot to try to work on my control. And with everything that happened today, I felt like I needed it., but we can talk if you want. It's okay."
