John finishes thirty repetitions and walks to the leg pressing station, saying "I'm not being a show off, I'm actually cutting back a little bit. I don't have my healing powers, so I have to play it safe." He puts six hundred pounds on the machine and begins working out his legs.

Anthony's head jerks up as his alarm wakes him. He rubs his eyes and groans, exhausted. He stands and walks away from the desk he had fallen asleep on, then feeds his tigers while still half asleep.

After he finishes his shower and gets dressed, he begins the drive to the Academy.
