The God of War presents himself as a mean, no funny business gym teacher, and lucky you, you're right in the middle of his class. Since the Arena of War is lost to the Time Fog, you're stuck doing drills at Avenger's Stadium. Expect to be put through sword fighting, take off and landing, shield practice, and of course the more mundane running laps and doing push ups. Magic is only to be used for shield practice, and anyone causing mischief will have to deal with Ares himself.

Doesn't mean you can't try, it just means it won't end well for you.

Avengers Assemble!

Octobots are attacking a lab space in downtown. Their target: a new chemical compound that is apparently more efficient in powering the wriggly bastards. Get to your assigned teams and get out there before they can make off with that compound, or the octopi will be having the city for dinner tonight!

And Director Fury doesn't give a damn if you don't like your teammates; work it out or don't, just get the job done.

Class is in session, and considering it's Professor Pym's class, it's probably going to blow up in a few minutes. It might be best to make sure your homework is finished and handed in before your lab mate goes for the chemical cabinet, because there's a high chance it'll be on fire otherwise. While your at it, be careful what you touch in the lab; you might end up having an electrifying experience.

...this lab has no safety precautions whatsoever, does it?

Sucks to be you; looks like you just got caught getting into things you shouldn't have been getting into, and the All Father himself found out about it. Now you're stuck in detention in the Timeless Archives, whittling away at a report that no superhero deserves to be put through. It doesn't look like Odin stuck around to make sure you finish it, though; is it worth risking the All Father's ire just to get a few hours on the dance floor at Club A?

Yu Narukami | Persona 4

[linefacingforever]

1.) Let's Fake A Training Montage
[ Yu was distracted for a moment from training, turning his head to where Ares was preoccupied with yelling at a student that had shot an arrow off as he was passing by, nearly hitting the God of War in the face. A sympathetic look came to his face as he watched the student cower in utter terror, before turning his attention back to his partner, giving them an apologetic look as he hefted the training sword he was holding. ]

Well... are you ready for this?

2.) Bonding In Warm Water
[Stark was fairly adamant about, "only the ladies," being able to use the hot tub on the roof of his building, but the common baths in the dorms were all taken up, and last he checked, Stark was busy studying about historic women. It was a little creepy, since he had apparently been doing it for hours, but that meant it would just be J.A.R.V.I.S. at Stark Tower, and that was a computer that knew how to keep a secret. ]

[ Yu crept all the way up to the roof, marveling for a moment the sheer size of the hot tub. He started toward to strip down, paranoia that he was going to get caught any second crawling up his spine. Of course, as soon as he set foot in the water, he ended up nearly jumping out of his skin as the roof let out a loud bang, before it began to open up, exposing the hot tub to the open air. He let out a squeak before he could stop himself, throwing himself the rest of the way into the water and hoping no one heard or worse, saw him. ]

[Stark Tower is laughably easy to stroll into. That, he thinks, is the point, but anyway--Han's taking advantage of Tony's slightly creepy preoccupation with historical figures to creep into his tower and chat up JARVIS about modifications to the Millennium Falcon, the beat-up garbage heap old car currently sitting somewhere on campus.]

Look, I ain't asking for rockets strapped to the engines or a suit, I just want something that can help with smuggling-- [--bang.] What was that?

[JARVIS is probably answering him right now, but Han's already taking off towards the rooftop. He pushes the door open and--blinks.]

Uh. Yu?

[linefacingforever]

[ Yu let out a scream somewhere between girlish and utterly terrified, ducking down into the water as far as he could and still have his head visible. That way Han could still see the most ridiculously guilty look on his face still. ]

S-Solo-san. Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you.

[ Even when caught doing something he shouldn't, he was still polite to a fault. ]

[carbonfrozen]

[Yeah, actually, you know what, Han is just going to train his gaze on something nearby. Like--that tree over there. Yeah. This is not embarrassing at all. (It is.)]

Nah, it's fine, I'm not that bothered. I was talking with JARVIS about the weather. [That is such a foul lie, everyone is well aware of Han's attachment to his car.] What're you doing up here?

[linefacingforever]

[ Look, he's trying to keep himself covered, okay! Yu felt his face heating up, and it wasn't just because the water was warm either. ]

T-the baths in the dorm were all being taken, s-so...

[shiningrabbit]

[... Yikes. Suddenly, Hibiki's glad he's not practicing with a bow.

He still has an unfamiliar weapon in his hands, and, all things considered, he'd really rather not be using it. Yeah, yeah, broaden your horizons and all, but it's a little harder to disarm someone who's just using their fists. Hibiki offers Yu a smile that's more confident than he feels as he hefts up his own training sword.]

Ready as I'll ever be, I guess!

[linefacingforever]

Okay.

[ He could tell Hibiki wasn't used to a sword, or any kind of weapon for that matter. Yu felt a little bad being the one with experience, even if he was self taught, since there was a high chance he'd knock him on his behind more than once. There was a moment he paused for breath, before he bowed politely. He was on the attack just after, trying to go easy on him for the first strike. ]

[shiningrabbit]

Whoa!

[And then suddenly Yu's on the attack and Hibiki's not sure how to deal--he's stepping back, almost by reflex, before he remembers he's got his own sword and he's bringing that up to block the strike... although it's a bit late for that. It's enough to nearly knock him off balance.

Well, this is off to an excellent start. He's not even sure he's holding this damn thing correctly.]

[linefacingforever]

[ Normally Yu would have followed through, but he anticipated Hibiki not being able to hold up. Thankfully, he didn't knock him over already, but he did back off, a hand ready to reach out and grab for him if he needed it. ]

Sorry; you okay?

Dos

[shapesifs]

[ Loki could care less whether Stark wanted anyone near the hot tub or not. Honestly, if he wanted women Loki could technically be one--and almost as if to rub it is he happened to have the form right now--but JARVIS was directing his attention elsewhere. Such as the idiot who probably broke the top to the hot tub and was now throwing himself in.

He opened the sliding glass door, looking particularly unamused with Yu. ]

If you're going to sneak in, Narukami, you might want to be a little quieter. [ And anyway move over. Loki plans on enjoy the water too. Leave it to the Academy to surround him with idiot classmates. It's wonder how he manages day to day--well Jan is good motivation also with very horrible nice swimsuit she gave him for such occasions. ]

[linefacingforever]

Sorry...

[ ...wait, he didn't know that voice. Yu peered over the edge of the hot tub, trying to see who it was, and for a moment was struck dumb. For a moment, his mind snapped to the stories he had heard about the Lady Sif, how she was tall and dark haired, and more beautiful than any human-like persona had any right to be. ]

[ Common sense hit him a second later: someone like Sif wouldn't know him, and probably wouldn't care to know him. So that meant this was... ]

Oh. Hello, Loki-san.

[shapesifs]

[ If only Yu knew how wrong he was. He had the attitudes toward others flip flopped between Loki and Sif. Loki didn't care to get to know many others, but he sort of accepted that making acquaintances was just a part of being a student. ]

You can stop staring. [ He replied flatly. ] I'm not actually a woman. [ He knew that look but Yu didn't currently have anything Loki wanted therefore charms weren't being turned toward him for the fun of it.

Also he is technically lying. ]

[linefacingforever]

[ What did he mean he could stop staring? Yu wasn't staring, he was staring. ]

I-I know that!

[ Not really; Loki's magic was on a level entirely different from the majority of the other students in their magic classes. He didn't know or understand half of the things Loki could do, and he suspected that he wasn't the only one. ]

What are you doing here?

training montage!

[seeingscarlet]

[Just once Wanda would like to be the one with the sword while someone else has to hone their shielding skills. It's unnerving, because of course Ares has them using very dangerous-looking weaponry. Nothing like imminent risk of serious injury for motivation, right? Some things, it seems, don't change regardless of where you go to school. At least no one's actually died here that Wanda knows of.]

As ready as I will get.

[Scarlet energy surrounds her hands. She's not as defenseless as she looks.]

[linefacingforever]

[ Wanda was nice. Wanda had a lot of power and a lot of responsibility for someone that looked close to his age. Yu was always sure to offer her a small smile of encouragement every time he saw her struggling or unsure of herself, and this time was no different. ]

Hey, remember what Odin-san said? Just let your powers be an extension of you.

[ ...he may have sounded like a hypocrite just now, considering he had the same problems, but if she felt a little better it was worth it. He raised his training sword, making sure she was okay, before taking the first swing. ]

[seeingscarlet]

[It's such an easy thing to say and much harder to actually do. They have yet to discover the upper limit of Wanda's powers and that terrifies her more than she wants to let on. She's seen what happens when she gets really, properly, angry and it's not pretty.

Wanda takes a deep breath and gestures sharply, dropping a barrier between them. It flares with the impact, but for Wanda this is more an exercise in focus than power generation. It usually takes something much more substantial than a melee weapon to actually break it.]

You can hit harder. I can handle this.

[linefacingforever]

[ Yu gave a nod at that. ]

Just let me know if it gets too much.

[ He took another swing, and another, red sparks shooting up around the blade with each impact. It was amazing the kind of things she could do; just how durable her shields were after a short time training with them were proof of that. ]

[ He took another swing, putting himself through moves like he was actually trying to fight her instead of just practice. ]

[legitlessgrump]

[Hei needed to find a way to test out the new wire-system he received from Fury. The idea was to give him greater mobility while traveling, and less holes in walls. Seemed to be working just fine as he kept traveling between the school buildings, not even touching the ground. The sheer speed though was something that did catch him a bit off guard. Needed a few more tweaks.

Though when he saw the roof to Stark Tower open, alarms raised in his head. Last he checked, Stark wasn't in, and the odds of it being some trouble seemed high. Zipping off another building, he used the excess speed to land near the water, stumbling a bit before catching himself.]

I swear that's gonna make me sick one day... [He looks around, ready to ask JARVIS before he saw something in the water. Someone was hiding. He held up a single finger, electricity sparking. Well, they couldn't hear him anyway under all that water anyway.

He simply touched the edge, letting out a small, tiny shock into the water to get the attention of the person.]

[linefacingforever]

HEI YOU ARE AN ASS.

Yu's breath escaped from him in a large bubble that burst out on the surface. It was amazing how hard it was to swim when your limbs were seizing from electrified water. Thankfully he wasn't as affected as a normal person would be because of his powers, and he was able to pull himself back to the surface. He struggled for air for a moment, coughing and trying not to gag, before he turned around, looking for who did that.

"...Hei?" he asked once his eyes fell on him, before he frowned at him. Seriously? Really?

[legitlessgrump]

He blinked, making a face as well. Maybe he used more electricity than he thought.

"Ah, so it just you, Yu. Why hide though?"

He would normally assume theft, but thieves don't exactly strip down and use hottubs...Well there was that one time, but the girl using it could teleport.

[linefacingforever]

"...why else...?"

Yu's eyes flicked over to where his clothes were resting on the ground, underwear and all. Wouldn't you try to hide if the roof suddenly opened and you were stark naked?!

[theserpentsmiles]

[He's pretty sure Ares is just making fun of him now.

Nagisa's training partner has a stockier build and at least six inches on him. It'd be like...fighting Karma. Yeah, there's no way he's getting out of this without a few bruises. He lifts his own training sword awkwardly. It's a very different balance from the knives he's used to, and he can't be as swift or agile with it.

Not that he's complaining. Knives and guns are his forte, but knowledge is power.]

Yeah, let's do this.

[linefacingforever]

[ To Nagisa's credit, he was so tiny, Yu was more worried about breaking him in half than him falling over and getting bruised up. He got it, some students were younger and more brilliant than others, but did they all have to go through the same gym classes? ]

[ Yu let out a breath after a moment, switching his grip on his sword. ]

Why don't you take a few practice swings at me?

[theserpentsmiles]

[The fact some people can fly or sling magic around is the main difference from Karasuma's gym classes. Nagisa is getting the feeling the fact he's already been trained in the basics of parkour is going to save him many a trip to the infirmary...]

I'm used to smaller weapons. Here I come! [Even rough and unpracticed, he's quick. Good balance, too, but there's very little power in his swing - far more than one would expect from someone his size, certainly, but he just isn't very strong comparatively. As long as Yu can see where he's coming from, he should have no trouble blocking.]

[linefacingforever]

[ Yu can definitely block him easily and he does, stepping slightly to the side as he did so. He nudged back, not hard, but just enough to get across the message to go back and try again. ]
