GAH! Wah-*Cries like a baby* My life is over! T.T My poor baby has died. Godric, my iTouch please come back, turn on please I beg you. I am literally crying over it. WAAAAHHHHHH! Please god, just smite me now. OMG I don't know how he did it but my friend was fucking with the iTouch and I left to get a drink and it magically turned on. I was 'you are my god!'

There was a commotion in the rec. room which involved three specific individuals. Two of whom have been missing for quite a while. The third a nuisance that the team has taken a liking to. If Duke hadn't opened his big mouth none of the fight would have happened. "Hey Avery." He had been so nonchalant, like he hadn't freaked that first day she was gone. "Where's your iPod." And that right there lit the fuse on a bomb about to explode. "I mean isn't that thing the word to you?" His words only shortened that fuse.

Avery lowered her head and kept her eyes down cast. She wanted none of them to see the anger welling up in them. Out of the corner of one of her downcast eyes she saw her mentor, Covergirl, scoot away. The rage boiled in her more as she knew exactly why Cover wouldn't look at her. Ripcord on the other hand had no clue. "Hey what happened between you two?" Avery was so close to punching the woman scooting further away.

"Yeah there is something different about you two." Duke's words were the final stretch of her short fuse and she blew. At first she had replied through gritted teeth that her iPod was dead. Then as his laughter filled her ears she pounced.

Duke just barley got out of the way of the temperamental woman. The momentum of her speed forward combined with her overall weight was enough to slide the couch several feet forward, which she accidentally hit instead of her intended target. Shaking off the surprise of his dodge Avery glared at him, just daring him to try her again. Being the idiot he was, he gladly obliged. "Hah, Pipsqueak missed me." And off the two went. Duke ran away from the room with Avery close to his heels and getting closer by the moment. Covergirl and anybody else in the room followed as closely as possible.

Had Duke not turned at that precise moment Avery's out stretched hand would have gotten him. But by some odd luck of fate he felt the urge to go left. This took Avery by surprise and she had to skid to a full stop before racing after him once more. Yet again every moment she was in pursuit brought her closer to her quarry. Fate had different ideas again as he took a right then an immediate left. Luckily for Avery, the hunter, she was close enough to see his every turn yet far enough away that she turned each corner with ease. Duke, her prey, only just realized the true danger he was in.

Suddenly a plan started to form in his thick head and he knew just how to lose her. He looked around and got his bearings of where they were. And fate was truly on his side as he was close to where he wanted to be. Just minutes before the girls had come back he had asked Scarlet where Snake Eyes was. And that place was so close, just the hall he turned down and three doors down on the right. That led to where snake eyes was helping to train some newer recruits.

Avery watched and followed closely to Duke. It seemed like he had a plan. The man in front of her opened a door and ran through it. As soon as she saw the room that he entered she guessed what his plan was, he was going to get a stick thing that was used during training and use that to fend her off. Or so she thought, never had she know that Snake Eyes helped to train recruits. If Avery had know that she would have caught onto his plan much quicker. Then she would have thwarted it instead of letting her curiosity get away and let him continue this game of cat and mouse.

But because she had no knowledge of Snake Eyes' where about or doings she fell prey to the trap. Just as Duke rounded a corner he yelled out to an unknown person to Avery. "Watch out!" Then he laughed as she heard his feet continuing. Only now did she realize how far ahead he had gotten. Putting on a bit of speed she sharply turned the corner and only was able to go several feet before she finally found out his true plan.

"Duck kid!" Avery's voice boomed and alerted the older male to her. He turned then immediately bent over covering his head with his hands in the processes and stayed that way. Avery was a foot away when she jumped. While ducking he was close to three feet, she cleared his head by mere inches. At first she didn't see Snakes as he still stood on the sidelines from when Duke went by. "You are so fucking dead! You hear me?" She landed and was still going forward.

Finally the emotion of fear put itself in his eyes to be seen like a beacon. It seemed that he had hoped that she would have collided with the other male. Now that he saw just a bit of her new abilities he understood just a bit more about how easy she had been with him. And once again he started the game of cat and mouse. The others had given up a long time ago, only a few minutes into this game, and now Snake Eyes abandoned the class to follow the two. After two turns he realized where this race was going to end. He also know just who would be wet and who would be dry. What he did not know was that the soon to be wet person had no ability in the department of swimming.
