Gym - Monday Morning

[canlendanear]

Alara didn’t have class til tomorrow, so she was taking advantage of having the morning free to do an extended workout in the gym as a way to keep her mind off how cold it was and for a way to stay warm.

She really wasn’t a fan of snow.

As always she was getting quite into the punching bags and had already sent a couple flying to the ground this morning as she went through her workout.

Kurt had been on his way to the court for another single-player game of basketball. When he passed by the workout room he stopped when he saw Alara there working out.

"Those are some impressive punches," he complemented as he stopped in the doorway.

It was at that moment that Alara’s next punch sent the current punching bag flying as well, when she noticed there was someone in the doorway.

“Thank you,” she smiled, “how have you been Kurt?”

[furrybluefreak]

Kurt eyed the bag as it lay on the floor leaking sand out onto the floor. He made a mental note to never get on Alara's bad side as he walked in.

"Doing good. Got some time between classes so was heading over to the court for a bit," he said holding up the basketball he had with him. "I didn't realize there was a weight and workout room here too!" he said as he looked around at all the equipment and stuff.

“Oh that’s cool, I’ve never actually played before,” she nodded at the basketball, “I only discovered the gym last year, I don’t think it had been used in a long while before that,” she revealed.

She noticed Kurt eyeing the bag on the floor, “I come from a planet with higher gravity,” she explained, “so my strength’s naturally stronger in Earth like gravity, the punching bags help that,” she said a bit sheepishly.

[furrybluefreak]

"Oh, so you have special powers too" Kurt said with a nod. "That's really cool. So... the higher gravity means you are naturally stronger here in a lighter gravity right? Kinda like someone who is used to living on a mountain will breathe easier at sea level."

[canlendanear]

Alara nodded, “most planets have lighter gravity than Xelaya , my home planet so I think my strength will be much stronger when I’m not home,” which she didn’t know when that would be since her parents weren’t currently talking to her “it does take some getting used to,”

[furrybluefreak]

"I can imagine it would" Kurt said. "Especially since it is something that is so second nature like that. It's not even something you have to think about. Like, with my ability, i at least have to consciously decide to use it, even though it is just as normal as walking or running for me."

[canlendanear]

"Oh, what ability do you have?" Alara was curious, this was still something that she was getting used to even after being at Fandom for the year and a half that she had been here.

[furrybluefreak]

"I can do this" Kurt said as he gave the basketball a toss away from himself. In an instant he disappeared in a small poof of purple-black smoke. An instant later he appeared a little ways away and caught the ball with a smirk.

"Oh wow," Alara's eyes were wide, "I've never seen anything like that ...I mean we have teleporter devices back home but I mean to actually be able to teleport yourself ...that was incredible," she told him with a grin.

[furrybluefreak]

"There are several of us back home.. Mutants like me... with teleportation powers" Kurt said. "I'm still learning to really control and use mine. I've only been porting more than a few feet here and there for a year or so. The Professor said I would likely be able to go much farther and do a lot more once I get better control of my powers."

[canlendanear]

Alara nodded, “and can you teleport anywhere you want?” she asked, “or are there places you can’t teleport to?” she was curious how it worked.

[furrybluefreak]

"Right now I have to be able to see where I am porting to" Kurt explained. "And its limited to about half a mile or so... so long as I can see with no obstruction. The Professor thinks it could be a lot farther than that once I master everything. Maybe up to a mile or more!"


And yes, Kurt would be blown away if he could look into the future and see the version of himself many years from now porting up to 3 miles at a time!
