Phoebe smiled, "Bruce Wayne" She said, taking Pride in being able to say that, "And my mother is Pamela Isley. I don't get to talk with her much, but I spent the summer with my father as much as I could" She said, glancing at the obstacle course. It was a little daunting, a step up from the course last year, but she was stronger, faster and better skilled this time round.

"Well, did you want to have a go at the course?"

Kalinda turned to Kyle, and smiled brightly, but she did look around, studying the emotions of the students. Hachi seemed to be frustrated, and still in pain. She hesitated, but she also sensed that he was a little uneasy about having so many people talking with him. Familiar with that from Griffin, Kalinda decided to leave him be for now, although the pain was a little distracting for her. 

As Jasper made his way through the course, She gave a sigh, deciding to just get it over with. "I'll be back" she said to Kyle, "May as well get this over with"

She approched the first platform, drawing in a deep breath, before she began to run, jumping from plateform to platform, maintain her balance with apparent ease, only stopping when she reached the second stage. 

She leaped up and grabbed the rings, grimacing as she tried to figure out how to do this. [i]is this some sort of gladiator thing? Gosh[/i] she thought to herself, as she took her left hand/ring off the peg and she swung for a moment, gathering momentum, on the up swing, she took the right one off, and quickly caught herself with the left, swinging the right up, to secure herself.She hung a moment, grimacing. [i]this is going to be hard[/i] For a moment, she wondered if she should just give up, but her eyes fell upon Kyle. [i]No.[/i] she couldn't do so, what would kyle think? She continued, making slow progress, but progress all the same over the second stage. 

At the third stage, she wondered if she'd be too short to do it. [i]How can my legs and arms span that gap?[/i] but she gathered her strength, leaping up as high as she could, spreading out her limbs as far as she could, catching herself and hovering between the walls for a moment. [i]I'm so glad I wore the skin suit today. And that I remembered shorts and a shirt[/i] otherwise, she might have given her classmates a shocking view. She scaled up the wall, knowing she probably looked foolish. 

The fourth stage was the only stage Kalinda felt good about, as she mounted the beam, she strode along it with confidence, maintaining her balance perfectly. [i]Those gymnastics weren't a bad thing after all. I miss them[/i]. That was why she was going into Romanoff's class. 

The fifth stage was the only stage she used her powers. She knew she was no where near strong enough to lift all the walls. [i]Jeez, the first one alone is like half my weight![/i]. With her telekentic powers, she could move things much easier then lifting them herself. Getting through that, she approached the last stage. 

She started to run, keeping her speed even, at first, she didn't hesitate, putting on more speed as she reached the curve. She felt herself sliding, and all she could think was [i]I'm so tired, I won't be able to do this again[/i]. she was nearly there, but she knew she would fall. She raised one foot, and pushed off the ground, leaping, she was in the air, and then se reached out, her fingers brushing ovver the edge, and she curled them over. She hung there, exhausted, before twisting her body, and flinging herself up, over the edge, she lay there, breathing hard. She didn't think she'd ever be able to move again. 

Finally though, she groaned, and made herway off the course, back over to kyle.

Connor enjoyed seeing Kijani's excitement, letting her take him along to the gym, quite content to walk hand in hand with Kijani. He looked about the gym, studying the course. It seemed a step up from the year before. [i]Perhaps they are trying to get more students to graduate? With whats happening, I wouldn't be surprised[/i] Connor thought. 

He figured he wouldn't do well-balance wasn't Connor's thing, and that seemed to be a strong suit in this. Still, he'd have to have a try, everyone did. "The Beast has stepped things up a bit, hasn't he?"
