"Then now that we have that done, we are going to jog around the block." Cara was not going to let everyone off without getting an idea for a new jogging path. It was a very real possibility that they were going to move in here and if they did that ant that she would need a new work out spot and jogging path.
"But we could keep exploring the mansion and decide on our rooms and stuff." Art was very against leaving and jogging. In his mind, he was already planning their ti in the mansions and how they would move it.
"No, I think I'm with Cara on this. If we rely on the workout room too much we will get lazy. We need to keep our usual routine and then add to it. If we stay here and focus too much on things then it will beco our new normal. We will forget what we worked for." The point that Asher made was clear. He didn't want them to lose the high drive to improve. The mont that they didn't co at their goals with the sa energy was the mont that they were no longer going to reach their goals.
"Fine. Fine. But I get to cook dinner tonight and we are having chicken parsan." Art had favorite dishes and this was one of them. If he wasn't allowed to stay and keep exploring the mansion that they had yet to buy, then he was getting the food he wanted.
"I'm not arguing with that. Now let's go." The only one that seed to hang back was Laura. However, she had explored more of the mansion while everyone was distracted with other things about their jog. Plus, she was the only one that would be able to catch up to them in a short ti which ant that no one was going to wait up for her. They knew the speed that she was capable of.
Her move was to scout out her won room before they left. She knew that the security system would be improved and changed by Art later and that she had free reign for a while. Therefore, she rushed herself back down to the gym. She had seen a very high functioning treadmill that she knew was made for speed and sprinting training.
The main reason why thin interested her was simple. Laura had never had the chance to sprint at her full speed in a straight line without hitting sothing, soone, or running out of room in general. Now she would have the perfect tool that would show her true speed and let her know just how fast her body could go at the mont.
Before everyone was even out the door the elevator was going back down. It was still a wonder how the previous owner had managed to build such an elaborate and perfect for training place. This mansion was almost made for the group as they were now. There were plenty of imperfections for them but it was so minuscule that none of it mattered. They would have a safe place to train, grow, and learn. When push ca to shove, it was more than most people would have in their lives.
The speed that Laura started with was slow to her. For anyone else, it would be a jog. Her body had been so used to being forced to slow down that the feeling of moving faster and faster actually felt unnatural. Normally Laura tried her best to completely conserve energy and move at a speed that was safer for her and everyone else. But this ti it didn't matter. She was able to speed up faster and faster.
Before long she had reached a speed that no one in the group could match with their sprint. Not even Jane with her burst of strength that she had honed for sudden moves would be able to match. Laura decided right than to push herself to the limit.
Her tabolism and body were always moving much faster than others. In so sense, she was comparable to a humming bird. She moved and functioned fast at the requirent that her calorie intake is much higher than any one person. But that also ant that she was able to push through things and heal faster. The doctors had said that she wouldn't be at any risk for a shorter lifespan and that she may even have a longer one. This was because her body was faster to remove diseases and other dangers that would require a body to move efficiently to eliminate.
Laura could catch a cold and work through it in just a day where soone else would be affected by it for three days. But that would also an that Laura felt the entire world around her was a bit too slow. This was especially true when she worked on improving her ntal status. She needed to get her mind to the level at which she was able to perceive her body's speedy movent.
The treadmill began to groan under her speed and :aura realized that she had more than let loopse. She had pushed her body to the point at which she was sweating like crazy and had needed to jump off. The speed on the screen was still flashing and Laura didn't see any notification popping up soo. "Fine, I will go catch up with them."
Seeing that she wasn't getting a result she decided that it was broken. Ten minutes after Laura left the machine had finally calculated the speed. But Lara was long gone and the treadmill was finally slowing down to a stop. The speed she had run at made the treadmill believe that she had just been slowing her pace down.
Later in the day, each group mber had told their parents what the plan was and sent the portfolio of three mansion to their parents. They were all able to have a conversation about moving there and the benefits. Art had even recomnded sharing the security ideas and plans that were going to be put in place. There were many groups that were on the rise when it ca to security. But there was one that stood out above all others.
There was a student that they had t in their modern technology class session whose father and mother were technomancer super power users. Of course that ant that they were a perfect first for any machines. They had developed so amazing security software that not even they could change and manipulate. It was set up with the security already existing and new security. If anything happened then they would be more than safe. It was a simple addition that made all of their parents more open.
The group had already decided not to rely on hero corp for their security. Sothing just felt off about it and Art's parents and brother had already been given a substantial amount of additional money due to the attack that had happened on them due to their research. Hero corp was responsible for all safety and they were obligated to own up for what had happened which did make Art's parents a little happier even though it did not fix much.
"Art, best al in a long ti. You need to teach that one." Jane had stopped over for dinner but everyone else went ho to speak to their parents first. Jane didn't think her parents would deny it but she did have so major worries about her father eting Asher since she had been avoiding it. But she made the mistake of thinking about it.
"Hey, we should have dinner at your house next ti. I wouldn't mind eting your dad and saying hello to your mom again. I feel bad that you always have to co here." On one hand, Jane was glad that Asher was being considerate. It was a little bit of a chore to walk all the way ho after they ate or just end up sleeping there in Cara's room. But on the other hand, Jane was sure that if she brought Asher ho she would have to deal with her father. It wasn't that he was evil or an, but she was an only child and her father was protective in a cliche and annoying way.
The moral suggestion was too much. She couldn't turn him down since it would make it look like she didn't want him to co over ever. "Sure thing. But I doubt we could top this kind of al."
"Thanks. I really like the feedback. How about I go and write it down for you."
"Oh, I will show you where the note paper is." Cara and Art both found excuses to leave the room while Jane and Asher spoke through this. They did not want to beco part of this since they knew that Asher would most likely find the chance to walk Jane ho. But in the end, Jane had beco trapped in her head trying to think of how she would make this all go smoothly.. She was back ho and hugging Asher goodbye before she knew it.
