Summer Fitness, Monday 2nd Period, 5/20

Today, the overly muscular blond teacher had taken his rightful place at the head of the class. "Good morning," he said, "and welcome to Summer Fitness. I'm sure you all introduced yourselves to each other last week--and I do apologize for my absence--so I'll just introduce myself this week. I'm Steve Rogers, and I'll be your instructor. Mr. Rogers is fine. So let's just get into it. We'll do some warm-up exercises and then we're going to climb a rope."

Jumping jacks, then pushups. If you can find the breath to talk you're welcome to do so.

Warmup! Anya was great at warm up. She might even chat while stretching.

"I can't believe," Raven whispered, stretching out next to Anya. She had enough natural strength and flexibility not to have any trouble talking during the warm up. "That I traveled between worlds and through time to take a gym class."

Sorry, Steve.

But it was Captain America! Not that Anya was going to risk her identity around people. Maybe this Cap didn't know her yet. That would weird.

"Is this a complain as in 'I already do this anyway' or as in 'I thought I had finally escaped this'?" Anya asked, grinning at her.

Raven shrugged. "A little of both. I guess how you work out hasn't changed much in sixty years."

Captain America -- who was only briefly famous a decade ago in Raven's world, and didn't look like this Captain at all, besides -- notwithstanding.

"The basics are the basics, right?" Anya stated. She had been doing warm up exercises since she could stand, after all. "Still, I don't want to twist anything where it shouldn't, so warming up it is."

"Can't argue with that," Raven said. "Are you an athlete, then?"

"Gymnast. It totally counts, even though I've met more than one jerk that thought they didn't," Anya said with a huff. "Which reminds me I'm going to need to find some gear or I'll get rusty soon."

"Of course it counts," Raven said. "Do you compete professionally, or just do it for fun?"

"I kind of have to compete, since I'm -was on my school team. I don't think Fandom really has competition though, so it's for fun now."

For fun, and fighting crime.

"It's a little small to have many sports teams," Raven said. "I didn't see anything about it in the brochures."

Normally, this was something that Zee would hate--the stupid stuff she had to do before she could get to the fun part. Except this was actually pretty awesome 'stupid stuff.' She got to move around and stretch and not be cooped up somewhere before forced to memorize stuff.

She was still out of condition, which meant there was a lot more panting and puffing than talking, but she was going to grin anyway.

This class ruled.

Shira was well used to exercise, though warming up always left her waiting to get to the good stuff in a frustrated sort of way -- largely because any athletics needed were generally displayed in a "don't have time to warm up, need to run and hide" sort of fashion.

But still, as she settled into the pushups, she somehow managed to give Zee a grin. "You look cheerful," she managed to say around the effort.

"It feels good to move around again," Zee said, giving the other girl a quick smile. "Been stuck inside for awhile. I'm kinda feeling it, but it also feels good to get started again, y'know?"

Hope you brought your upper body strength.

And ropes!

This was turning out to be quite fun.

The ropes were easy enough, but boring. Raven would have preferred if they got to swing around on them.

Apparently Zeela had not brought her upper body strength. She got about a bodylength and a half up and then just couldn't seem to get much higher.

She kept trying though, through the end of the class period, while giving the other people covertly jealous glances as they darted up to the top of the rope and back down again.

Stupid rope. She wasn't going to best you today, but don't be as so foolish as to think this was over.

Shira made it up the rope easily enough -- a little bit of struggle at the start, but then she scaled it fairly quickly. Not all that difficult, thankfully. She wasn't in the mood for difficult today.

Once they ping in.

Tony was there! And well aware of the horror of Steve's exercise regiment. Not that he held any sympathy for you kids. He survived it, so could you.

Ryan was there, even if she looked a little worn-out from just the warm-ups.

Who is here.

So "oh your flight is delayed" turned into "oh your flight is cancelled" turned into "well we can put you on a flight to Atlanta landing at eleven PM" with "and then I guess we'll have to rent a car and drive four hours" and then "no your bags are still in Philadelphia" and then taking my friend BACK to the airport to go to California this morning.

So now I'm gonna collapse okay?
