What The Luck!?

"I got ice. There's a girl over there that can make snow and even a little hail with water condensing from the air and a whole bunch of other science stuff. It's pretty cool, we might be able to combo our super powers together, but yeah, here's some ice." Sammy was a little excited since she had found a new possible friend. But mostly because she had managed to find someone who could make ice for Asher, Art, and Tamara.

"Thanks, Sammy. Nice find." Art was the happiest to feel the ice on his sprained ankle. Jackson had forced him to get it splinted even though it wasn't broken. However, since everyone backed Jackson up, Art was the only one left to sit and argue.

"Are you really sure that we shouldn't  have her tied up or something?" Louis was waiting for Tamara to start moving the shadows again and try to take them out for the on board computer. She had the ability to take them all out in a few moments if she decided to.

"I already told you. Look at the card she had. It says she only gets one attempt at the bottom. That means she's stuck surviving with the rest of us. The only good thing is that we got the chaos of villains and lackeys out of the way early. Now we just have to deal with some real injured members and find some decent food." Cara was getting tired of the fact that no one seemed to have listened to her explanation of the cards.

"I gathered all the cards up and there are a lot of them that said to only do something once or even that they need to go get water three times a day for the others. It's a good system to cause us to clash." Jane had taken the time after the fight to check through everyones' cards and found that it was set up for trouble.

"It was a clever challenge for us. But the fact that Tamara acted earlier than later did not follow the plan they had set u. I expect they will try to make things harder. I also do not believe this is only two days. They will tell us two and it will actually be the last three days of the training." James was sure of this and even started getting his group on to doing tasks that supported an extra day.

"I think we will have an evaluation day. They will be here earlier than we think. They want us to work together but not be dependent on each other." Asher had a different opinion that was calling to hit gut feeling. James just shook his head and went about his plans. "On that note, I will sleep. I think tonight was too much for me."  Asher didn't even bother to find another place to sleep. He fell asleep sitting up against the wooden shelter that had been constructed. The rest of the group figured out their own spots and followed his lead.

When the sun began to shine on to the clearing with the shelters the students had built, Asher awoke to a surprising scene. At some point, while he was asleep, Jane had made his shoulder her pillow. He hadn't even been woken up by this let alone moved at all from his position. It was slightly worrying that he slept so hard, but at the same time, he found that she appeared cuter than before.

The other students were beginning to stir and Asher felt a crushing defeat as he began to nudge Jane awake. "Gah- er-umm. Good morning." Jane was going to try and explain herself but she remembered that Asher was going out with her and there was nothing to be ashamed of. It was completely acceptable.

"So, was I a good enough pillow? Would you say I rate in the top ten human pillows?" His joke was bad ut Jane still laughed in her half asleep state.

"I would say the best pillow I have ever had. Don't worry, I will lend you a pillow later….if you want me to." Jane was a little red offering this.

"Well, I swear, I will lose my appetite if I have to see this anymore." Art had to take the chance to tease them. He had woken up at the same time they would normally work out but instead he was at their forest clearing camp. There was no way he would stand up to work out, especially with the sprained ankle adding to that challenge.

"Good! You are all away. Here have some berries. Jackson picked them. I delivered them. It will cost ten dollars and an additional shipping fee!" Laura was rinning around to everyone that woke up saying the same things. It appeared she was preparing to open a business now. T be fair, with her speed she could outdo any by car or foot mail there was in the city. It might actually be one of the jobs she received often. There were plenty of super heroes that bring valuable items or very important letters from one location to another.

"Laura, have you seen Louis?" Sammy was also awake now and looking for Louis since she knew that he had fallen asleep near her.

"Oh, he went for a walk around the edge of the forest so that he could see if anything was planning to cause any trouble." This was a good idea, however, Asher didn't see why he had gone alone.

"If anything happens then we are screwed. Louis should have taken a buddy with him." It was a natural reaction. Going anywhere alone and separating oneself from a group in this situation was terrible.

"Relax. He was with me and Billy. We checked a lot and Jackson was once with us but found some wild raspberries and blue berries. He got all excited and ended up calling for Laura. Now the bushes are nearly empty and he told everyone to stay away from them so we can't ruin the natural food for animals."

"That's good. I was a little worried that Louis would be left in the forest alone. As much as this is school grounds, it is a little bit of a mess to search through everything here. I would say at least three days long." Asher was stunned. He had not expected that the training fields with their different disasters simulated could span for such a distance behind the school. So much so that every student could permanently live out in the fields just due to the space there was.

"The fields have to be large. They built a tenth the size volcano. Oy might sound small but it is larger than the school ad can fake erupt and even make a small localized volcano. Our high school is not one of the top in the world for nothing. We are lucky we lived so close and our parents had signed us up for school here before we could even walk." Cara was taking the teasing move too on Asher." Asher had always just assumed that his father had a very connected or rich client that he did legal work for. It made more sense than what the alternative was; pure luck to have gotten in.

"I might as well get up and get moving then." Asher decided he had stayed still ong enough. His hand hurt and so did a few places along his ribs and sides. Overall, he was fine and healthy. Now he could focus on other things. "Jackson is that way right? I want to see if he can teach me to get some food for us too." Asher decided it was survival class lesson time and Jackson was going to be doing the teaching.

When Asher came in to view of Jackson, he also found multiple blue berry bushes and the prickly spined raspberry bushes behind them. "You look a lot more rested now! Welcome to my little heaven on earth." Jackson spread his arms wide showcasing the many plants all around. "These could have been eaten by animals but Jackson had been lucky to find them and feed the entire group.

"Y look pretty happy to have found these. I'm glad that you are putting it to good use. I was hoping you would start to teach me more bout the survival and rescue side of things. I can tie a splint as you did with Art but I can't really walk around tracking and telling what animals or foods are." Jackson showed a wide smile as he began to gather some nearby plants to show off his knowledge.

"The first step is knowledge. You should learn a lot about edible plants with healing or detoxifying properties. I made it my light reading for years and memorized a ton of field guides. But making due with the basics are fine." Jackson saw that as soon as he mentioned memorizing a ton of journals, Asher began t back up slightly.. At the end of the hour, Asher was sure he would know more than before.
