[hr][hr][/center]	[i]Is that boy a girl too?[/i]

	That comment somehow stuck with April, threatening to take her focus right before the fight began. Somehow, she'd hoped that the question had been about her, even as she knew the heckler meant the lone boy on the Hex Girls' team. But any brief unconscious insight into her own gender would have to wait - the match was beginning, and they were [i]so close[/i]. They'd fought tooth and nail to be here, pushing themselves to the limits these last few days. The tremors in her hands had thankfully stopped too, and her mind felt clear, sharp, and focused as her heart pounded furiously. One match stood between them and the Young Avengers. One match was all they needed to win to get to the finals, to have a shot at winning the title. One match and then the rest of their lives would begin. It was going to be perfect. It was everything they'd worked so hard for, everything they'd dreamed of, it was -

	... The hottest people she'd seen in her life smirking and harassing them - harassing her ex-girlfriends. 

	April gasped at the offer Thuy delivered to Sabine so glibly, and as the hellfire shot towards her ex, she acted without thinking. Barrels of water had been provided in the arena for her to work with, and at her call, the water rushed out of the barrel, flying through the air towards her - and then past her, a protective cocoon shaping itself around Sabine. The fire collided with the water, the integrity of the sphere failing immediately, as steam hissed and rose up towards the arena ceiling. [color=42A9FF]"Shut up, you can't talk to her that way!"[/color] she snapped, as the remaining water fell towards the ground. But rather than let it hit the floor, April froze it, forming an icy shard that she shot across the field, on a collision course with Thuy. [color=42A9FF]"It's not okay!"[/color]

[hider=Round 1]April: [list][*]Health: 60
[*]Focus: 25
[*]Karma: 2
[*]Notes - [list][*]As a reaction, April uses Elemental Sphere (Water) centered on Sabine. This costs 5 focus, bringing her focus down from 30 to 25. Additionally, the sphere takes all the incoming damage targeted at Sabine, and as it exceeds 10 damage, the sphere immediately breaks, leaving Sabine unharmed. 
[*]As an action, April uses Elemental Burst (Ice), targeting Thuy. She rolls a 3d6, getting 6 6 2 = 14. She adds her agility modifier, +3, bringing the total to 17. [list]
[*]Thuy's agility defense is a 13, so the attack is successful. 
[*]April’s Agility damage is the middle die value x 2 + 3, or 6 x 2 + 3 = 15 points of damage dealt to Thuy's health.[/list][/list][/list][/hider]
