"His methods seem a little extreme," Chris said as she turned her head back and closed here eyes again, breathing in deeply.

"But effective," Herbert added. "I know you don't like Nathan, but, it's weird, we have a connection. He's just really helped me out. He even gave me his partner's old supersuit."

"When's that from? The 1920s or something?" Chris giggled.

Herbert gave her a look. "The 60s. You have no idea. The design is actually beautiful; whites and golds and warm brown. It's like, hope, made into a costume. But it has flares on the boots, a weird string bits and a big peace symbol on the chest." He laughed. "If I join Olympus I suppose I'll get it remodellede because other than that I do quite like it," he admitted.

"Sounds garish to me," Chris chuckled, "you'll have to show it me some time, maybe when we get back," she smiled, her face still pointing forwards than towards Herbert, eyes still firmly shut.

Herbert frowned and muttered something, turning away to concentrate.

Chris returned to her meditation, a smile still plastered on her face. She breathed deep and began to focus, stretching out with her senses, feeling all of the energy around her. Everything was so busy here in the city centre, lots and lots of people bustling about.
Suddenly, there was a large burst of energy that spiked for a few moments. Chris felt it like a little flick to the side of the head. This sudden rupture only last for a short duration but it was enough to tell Chris something was wrong.
Her eyes shot open as she sprang to her feet, the orb disappeared but the aura stayed. Still tapped in to the energies around her, Chris could tell that whatever was happening was nearby, just above them on the surface. Someone was attacking the central streets.
"Herb c'mon get up we gotta go! Something's wrong, something's happening up on the streets!" She said as she rushed over and re-dressed herself, picking up her bag along the way.

Herbert's eyes shot open. "Right," he said, throwing himself to his feet. "I'll ask you questions on the street. I need to get my costume! I'll meet you, erm, above, on the street. Look for the highest building; I can get the best view there." He didn't wait for her to answer but summoned his uncle's power and shot away with a sonic boom, probably throwing Chris to the floor with his take off.
(OOC: Herbert has gone back to the dorms to get his costume. Next post will be on the streets because I don't want to write a post just to getting his costume and leaving.)

Chris got up and dusted herself down, replacing her hat on her head. What in world was that!? Since when could he do that!? It didn't matter for the time being, for now Chris headed back up to the surface as fast as she could.

(OOC Later on)
Chris re-entered the abandoned network of underground stations. This time she headed for a different one to the one she and Herbert had just been training in. She dumped her backpack and bag of groceries by the wall and threw her hat and coat on top of them. After she had stretched her muscles and limbered up, she set about continuing her training, ignoring the constant buzz her phone was making.

Chris sat down next to her things, wiping the sweat from her brow. She had been training hard, using her powers to enhance her moves and even try out new techniques. Though, for her to fully understand and know if they'd actually work, she'd need to test them out on a real person. She took a bottle of lucozade from the bag of groceries and guzzled it down in one before munching down on another BLT and a mars bar. She sat and pondered a few things whilst she waited for her energy reserves to replenish.

Chris continued with her training, pushing her powers to their limits in terms of how intense she could burn her aura. Her fists ripped through the air as she practiced her combos. After a while though, her supplies were running low and she was equally running low on energy. Chris headed back out into the city to restock and breathe some fresh air.

(OOC a little while later)
Chris returned to the underground, making her way through the old abandoned tunnels and maintenance shafts. She headed for a different part of the underground labyrinth. It may have been a pain constantly moving around like this and lugging all her gear along but Chris felt it necessary. She felt like it would be near impossible for anyone to find her down here. She still wasn't entirely certain if the Redeemer knew she was alive or not but she thought it best not to take any chances.
Entering another abandoned station, Chris set her things down and threw off her hat and coat. Limbering herself up, she set about training again.

After having warmed herself up and thrown out a few combos, Chris now focused on seeing if she could change the colour of her aura to maybe help with her disguise when the time came. Her body pulsed as her yellow aura burst forth and engulfed her entire form. Breathing easily and relaxing, Chris tried to recall what it was she had done when her aura had turned red. She remembered feeling very fatigued and drained after her fight with Margarita. Perhaps it only turned red when she was burning up the last of energy reserves? Then again, Chris recalled being overcome with rage at Herbert's interference.
Focusing on that, Chris closed her eyes and let her mind wander to all those angry thoughts. How Herbert had stopped her from capturing Margarita, how he'd gotten in the way purely because of his emotions. How this whole situation was practically the same as he saw Aurora and Olem's, how his actions made him a hypocrite and that he had no right to be casting judgment when he clearly did not like it when the roles were reversed and he was standing in Aurora's shoes. But most of all, Chris thought about how Herbert had betrayed her, how he'd turned his back on her the one time she asked him to stand by her after all the times she'd done so for him.
Chris gritted her teeth as she began to strain, the sudden rush of emotions washing over her. Her entire body tensed as she forced out more powerful. Slowly, she opened her eyes to find herself enshrouded in a bright blood orange glow. "Not quite red," she thought as her muscles relaxed, "maybe I have to be in the heat of the moment for it go fully red."
Relaxing herself further, taking deep, long, soothing breathes, Chris' aura gradually faded back into its original yellow. She dispersed her aura completely, letting a huge sigh as she plonked herself on the floor. The exercise had been quite tiring. Reaching into her bag of supplies, Chris began to chomp down on another sandwich and guzzle yet another bottle of lucozade, cherry flavour. She made little circles with her head, rolling her neck muscles. Staring over at the blank wall at the far end of the room, Chris' mind began to wander again, her thoughts stemming from those she had just used.
She had been so sure that Herbert was right and that Olem did need to be taken in but after the whole Margarita incident, Chris was no longer so sure. She felt like she really needed to talk to Aurora about all this but how could she? Surely she couldn't just waltz back up to Aurora, popping back up out of the blue and tell her that Olem is a murderous monster who needs to be brought down and arrested!? Chris let out a slight moaned as her posture slumped. She knew that Herbert was throwing a party soon and that most likely everyone else would be there. Perhaps that would be the best time to go back and face everyone. Then again that might be too late. Everything seemed such a mess to Chris.
Hardening her features with steely determination, Chris jumped to her feet and powering herself up, continued with her training.

After another long and tiring training session, Chris began to wind down for the day. It was getting late and so she thought it best that she head back to the accommodation block, she didn't fancy sleeping down here. She packed up her gear and headed back up to the surface.
(OOC Chris leaves)
