"What are you doing?" asked Hazel who just woke after an hour and half of sleep. She blinked rapidly trying to get her eyesight used the bright sunlight streaming through the open window beside Max. She sat up to see Max doing push ups, sweat dripping from her body and grunting with frustration.
"Press ups." Said Max between breaths.
Hazel rolled her eyes and said, "I can see that. Why are you doing press ups?"
"Well I need to get over it somehow." Replied Max who was glaring at the floor as if it killed her pet rabbit.
"Get over what?" asked Hazel as she stretched her arms above her head gracefully.
"The Heat." Replied Max giving up on the press ups and doing sit ups instead.
"Oh right." Said Hazel languidly, "Well, I'm off after a shower."
"What?" Max practically screamed as she abruptly stopped her exercises.
"What, what?" said Hazel confused.
"How can you go now?" said Max whining slightly.
"My Heat's over." Replied Hazel easily.
"But you didn't do any exercises to control yourself." Said Max outraged.
"I have good charge of my body. I'm not fiery or impulsive. I know how to command my body and emotions with much more self control than some." Said Hazel in monotone.
Max grunted in annoyance and growled, "It's not fair." And went back to her exercises.
The next morning was pretty chilled for TC. The lessons were taken by Alec with Joshua for help and Mole took over the running of HQ. The usual mob of crazed norms was situated outside the main gates and they were, as usual, ignored by the residents of Transgenic Central.
The Sun was high in the sky but was also sheltered from the mere mortals by a thin layer of smog which increased the humidity factor by a lot.
"Okay, kids. This move is pretty tricky but immensely handy. It's not usually taught till you're all a lot older but by looking at you guys I think you'll be able to handle it. So you use this when you want your enemy to think that they finished you off. It's a good one if you know you're surrounded and won't be able to fight them all off. What ya do is you try to slow down you pulse as much as you can. You need to totally relax, hold you breath and when you've done that, stop your heart from beating. It's a difficult feat but with time you'll be able to do it. Okay?" he said whilst still on the ground after demonstrating. His class nodded. "I want you all to try it now in partners first one of you do it and the other checks for a pulse, then vice versa. You can ONLY practise this when Hazel or myself are here training you. Do not and I repeat, DO NOT TRY THIS BY YOURSELVES. DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND ME?" he said the last bit in a booming voice to make sure the message got through. Satisfied he motioned for them to begin.
From the corner of his eye, he saw someone watching him and he straight away realised who it was. "What're you doing here?"
"Just watchin'." Replied the transgenic.
"Your spell over." He asked still not looking at her.
"Yup. The Queen's got her own palace now." Replied the female.
"So, how'd you two get along?"
"Not so bad. She's sorta strange though."
"How so?"
"She was up at the crack a dawn t'day, doin' all sortsa exercises and stretches, to get through the whole thing." She smiled as she saw Alec build his own images in his head. "You're a good teacher." She said bringing his attention back to the X6, 7s and 8s.
"Ya think?" asked Alec looking at her watch the children.
"You're a natural." She replied but then turned to him and added, "With kids. You connect with them."
Alec smiled. They both stood in silence watching the youngest of the transgenic family working together.
Alec broke the silence and asked quietly whilst looking at her, "You think I'll make a good dad one day."
"Without a doubt." Was the reply he received as she swiftly walked towards HQ.
"Hey, why don't you stay and help?" he called to her.
"Second lesson I'll come." Hazel hollered back as she carried on walking to HQ.
"Hazel." Someone else called.
She turned around and saw all the kids had stopped practising and had turned to look at her.
"Where've you been?" said the same transgenic. It was an X8 girl around 12.
"Just on my vacation." She replied walking back down to them as Alec walked to join the crowd.
"You coming back soon." Asked an X6 boy with dark brown hair.
Alec humphed in annoyance, "Fine then." He muttered to himself.
Hazel smiled and said, "I'll be joining Alec in the lesson after lunch. Any way I left you in capable hands."
"We know." Said another fair haired X6 girl who gave Alec a reassuring smile, "It's just we kinda missed you."
"It's gonna be cool with both of you teaching us." Someone else piped up.
"Yeah. It'll be our best yet." Said another person.
"We should tell everyone to come." Said the first X6 boy.
Hazel nodded and carried on walking.
"Come on people. Let's try to perfect this move. Your never know when it's gonna come in handy." Said Alec trying to get the class back on track.
