A/N: Enjoy!
As they got to training room, Tempest practically went through the ceiling from excitement. Don't worry, that's an exaggeration but for her now it was possible, "So where to start?" Adam asked
"Well, Isabella requested speed." Feliss reminded.
"Right," Adam said nodding.
Feliss had to think for a short while to work up a plan. "Okay so first we need to pad these walls," She said.
"Right," Tempest said calming down knowing the alternative, "With what?"
"Anything soft,"
They all tried to think of something to use, "Pillows?" Adam asked
Feliss did some quick math, "That should work."
"Okay everyone pillow retrieval!" Adam said.
Feliss blurred off and everyone else seemed to hesitate before doing the same.
They all arrived back in about four minutes.
"This should be enough." Feliss said looking them over.
"Should be?" Adam asked.
She looked over them again double checking the math, "Will be."
"Okay then let's do this," Adam said.
In a very short while, the walls were completely covered in pillows. "Okay ready?" Feliss asked. They nodded excitedly. "Okay on lap around the room fast as you can!" Feliss said
They nodded and did immediately crashing into the wall. "Ouch!" Tempest said
Feliss appeared by them assessing their bodies considering the last time, "You guys okay?"
"Yeah, just ow," Isabella said
They got up though, "Maybe the need more padding."
"Like memory foam?" Adam asked.
"Definitely not, better off taking the padding down completely in that case."
"Well maybe we can make something," Adam said.
Feliss nodded, "That's a better idea."
"Well, that will take time," Adam said.
"Not that much for us." Tempest said pointedly.
"True if you two do not run into anything," Adam said.
"Even without the powers, it wouldn't though." Tempest corrected. "That's more what I meant."
"We don't know that," Adam said.
"What do you mean?" Tempest asked confused.
"It could be harder than we think," Adam said.
"I'm sure we can lickety split." Tempest said with a wave of her hand.
"I hope so," Adam said.
"I know we will." Tempest said before kissing him.
Adam kissed her back slowly and then they broke apart. "Okay let's go," Adam said.
They headed to an inventing room, "So where to start then?" Isabella asked
"…I'm not sure." Adam said.
"Well let's make it like giant non-stick marshmallows," Feliss said.
"That's a great idea actually." Tempest said.
"I know!" Feliss said happily.
"Alright, then let's get to designs first." Adam said.
They set to work quickly. "Yes, this should work." Feliss said when she drew the plans out.
"I think so," Tempest said staring at the plans carefully.
"Then let's get to work." Isabella smiled.
"Okay, how much will we need?" Adam asked
"Enough to cover the whole room just to be safe," Feliss said marking down exact measurements.
"And two mattresses," Adam said.
"Perfect." Feliss smiled.
"Okay let's do this," Adam said. They all set to worked on the magic marshmallow padding.
It only took them half an hour to perfect. "See? That didn't take too long." Tempest smiled.
"I stand corrected," Adam said.
"Never doubt our mechanical inclination." Tempest smirked.
"I thought that was Phineas and Ferb?" Adam asked.
"They're apparently the only ones?"
"I guess not," Adam said.
"Definitely not, we're that awesome, too."
"I get it," Adam said.
"So, let's get these put up." Feliss said back on topic.
"Right sorry," Tempest blushed.
"It's okay," Feliss said picking up a whole bunch. Adam picked up a bunch as well and they were off.
They had the room covered in no time.
"Okay we try again," Adam said.
"Do you guys know why you crashed the first time?" Feliss asked.
"No why?" They asked.
"You were too focused. If you focus too hard you'll trip up too little and not turn or stop when you want to."
"So you intended us to fail?" Isabella asked.
"Well, not really, it will inevitably happen a few times till you find your medium. I think you could guess what happens if you focus too little."
"We fall?" Isabella asked.
Feliss nodded, "But I found with Adam that the safe area varies on the mutant."
"What do you mean?" Tempest asked.
"You have to discover your own focus level to avoid them both." Feliss said regretfully.
"Oh so there's no way for you to tell us how?"
"Nothing at all, I'm sorry."
"It's alright," Tempest said starting again but tripped and fell after a few feet.
"Nice try," Adam said.
Tempest just got up and tried again. She made it further and still fell.
She got up and tried one more time making it across the room.
She managed to turn the corner successfully and finished the one lap.
"Yes!" She said happily.
"Great job, Tempest," Feliss smiled, "Your turn, Isabella."
Isabella ran and fell a few steps in. "Darn it." Isabella said getting up and running again focusing more. She made it around stopping in front of Feliss.
"Great job," Feliss said hugging her girlfriend but luckily going no further for Adam and Tempest's sakes not to mention training.
Tempest was hugging Adam as well looking proud. "So strength next or you want to try the obstacle course." Feliss asked separating from Isabella.
"Obstacle course!" Isabella said.
"This was surprisingly here for normal training." Feliss said pushing a button bringing up an exact and functioning replica of a Ninja Warrior round 1 course.
"Awesome!" Tempest said.
"You already knew this was here." Feliss reminded since, as she said, it was already there for normal training.
"I forgot," Tempest said.
Feliss chuckled, "You ran it a few times. Then you'd screw up occasionally and turn the water to mud." Feliss added teasingly.
"Hey, I was messy!" She said.
"Of course you were you know I'm just teasing with you."
"I know, but now I'm clean," she said.
"Didn't you say you were going to go back to that though?" Adam asked her.
"Yeah, but I have been thinking…" she said carefully.
"Thinking what?" Adam asked.
"Well remember when we had our...issue earlier?" She asked.
"You mean the issue with… you know…" Adam trailed awkwardly.
"Yes that one," she said awkwardly.
"What about it?" Adam asked nervously.
"Well we never had the problem when you could stroke me hair," she said.
"Well… I didn't mention it anyways…"
"Because we would both be happy right?" She asked.
"Are you not happy now?" Adam asked.
"I am, but I miss cuddling and the hair stroking, and I want you to be happy too," she said.
"I am happy." Adam said simply.
"No you are not," she said.
"I am as long as you are."
"Adam please let me do this for you. You do so much for me the least I can do is stay clean," she said.
Adam hesitated but said, "Well, alright."
"Thank you," she said smiling and hugging him tightly.
"You're welcome." Adam said returning the hug. "Are you going to try the course now?"
"Of course I am," she said smiling.
"Alright, get to the start then." Feliss instructed. Tempest smiled and took her position. Feliss pulled out a regular, nothing special stop watch. "Go!"
Tempest started off and did pretty good until she hit the log drop. "Damn." She muttered hoisting herself out of the water.
"It's alright," Feliss said smiling.
"Now that I think about it though, I swear I've made it a lot farther before though and that was obviously without the powers." Tempest said thoughtfully. "I thought it would be a lot easier with them."
"That's exactly why you fell. That can happen a lot in regular missions, too. You think it's so easy for you so you don't think to take the basic precautions you normally would." Feliss explained.
"And you overshot or under shoot your speed," Adam said.
Feliss shook her head, "Not this time, you can tell, especially considering what obstacle she lost it on."
"What do you mean?" Adam asked.
Feliss simply motioned to the log drop, no superspeed on it. This course was the perfect combination of speed and strength training, which is exactly why she chooses it.
"Maybe she got on it to fast?" Adam offered.
"Which more comes down to my point." Feliss corrected simply.
"How is my point any less valid?" Adam asked.
"There's also that she already knows that."
"Well sorry, I'm trying to help," Adam said.
"Well, thanks but though you have more experience than they do you've barely had your powers very long at all either." Feliss reminded.
"Right sorry," Adam said backing away.
Feliss felt a little guilt but ignored it, "You want to give it a shot, Isabella?"
"Sure!" Isabella said excitedly.
"Alright, go up to the starting line then." Feliss smiled resetting the stopwatch.
"Ready!" Isabella said.
Feliss smiled over at her, "Go!" Isabella went and lost it at the same spot. "Alright, it looks like we should really move on to strength training." Feliss concluded since that's where they both lost it.
"Okay," Isabella said.
"You two off course remember what that means." Feliss said as Isabella got out of the water and Feliss put it away.
"Walls?" They asked
Feliss nodded, "Please try not to make the same mistake as Adam though. Injuring yourself is bad."
"It was an accident," Adam said defensively.
"Of course it was." Feliss said since no one would do that on purpose, except maybe a masochist. "I wasn't implying that it wasn't."
"Okay then," Adam said.
"Now Isabella, since Tempest went first both times previously would you like to go first with the walls?" Feliss asked.
"Sure why not?" Isabella said.
"Alright, level 1." Feliss said putting up the wooden wall. Isabella hit it and it cracked down the middle. She could tell it didn't quiet go all the way through though. "Not enough pressure," Feliss said.
Isabella nodded and tried hitting it again causing it to break cleanly in half. "Unusual," Feliss said looking at how clean the cut was before pushing a button putting that wall away and bringing up the concrete one, "Level 2"
Isabella slammed her fist into it and it cracked but did not break, "Dang it!" Isabella said
"It's okay, just try again." Feliss said. "You're doing better than me."
"Really?" Isabella asked.
Feliss sighed and nodded. "In terms of strength, I'm a failure of a mutant."
"No way," Adam said.
"Yes I am." Feliss said crossing her arms. "I'm weak, it's pathetic."
"No it's not," Adam said.
"Stop trying to cheer me up, even they aren't denying it." She said motioning over to her girlfriend and best friend.
"Sorry, but it's weird seeing you in self-doubt," Tempest said.
"I know, it's so unusual but it is true in this case." Feliss sighed.
"I don't think so," Isabella said.
Feliss gave a weak smile. "You're just saying that."
"No I mean it," Isabella said.
"I don't think so either, Feliss." Tempest added.
"You're all just trying to make me feel better," she said.
"No we're not." Isabella said and temporarily disregarded Tempest and Adam going up to her girlfriend and giving her a kiss. Feliss kissed her back happily. Adam and Tempest did not complain a peep but looked away. "Believe me now?" Isabella asked as they separated.
"Alright." Feliss said with a smile. "I believe you."
"Good, you better," Isabella said smiling.
"Wanna give it another hit or call it a day?" Feliss asked.
"Another hit!" Isabella said.
"Then go ahead." Feliss said letting her go.
Isabella ran up and hit the wall again. This time it crumbled down. "Good work!" Adam said smiling.
"Thanks bro!" Isabella said smiling back.
"No problem," Adam said.
"Wanna try level 3?" Feliss asked since that's where Adam got injured.
"Not yet," Isabella said.
"Then you wanna try from 1, Tempest?" Feliss asked turning her attention to her best friend.
"Yes please," Tempest said.
"Alright, level 1," She said putting another wooden wall up. Tempest went to the wall and hit it. The wall shattered on impact "Great job, level 2." She said putting up the concrete one.
Tempest ran at and kicked the wall. The wall crumbled down but left her ankle a little sore though no actual injuries were present. "Nice work Tempest!" Adam said smiling
"Thank you." Tempest smiled hesitating to put wait on her foot but it was fine once she did.
"Level 3?" Feliss asked.
Tempest hesitated for a second before saying, "Yes."
"Are you sure?" Feliss asked.
Tempest nodded, "Yes, I'm sure."
"Okay," She said bringing the other wall up.
"Level 3, steel and concrete fusion," Feliss said nervously and Tempest went to hit it the same way she did the last one hoping it will work and not break her ankle in the process.
It did not work that way though. She gritted her teeth putting weight one her now worse ankle and went to the other side of the room.
Adam was at her side immediately. "Are you okay?" He asked
"I haven't done anything yet." Tempest said eyeing the wall.
"Don't do this," Adam said.
"I'll be careful, Adam." Tempest promised.
"I was careful, but we saw how that worked," Adam said.
Tempest sighed and walked towards the wall trying to think of another way. Once by the wall, she closed her eyes and tried to focus on her powers directing them straight to her non-hurt leg for strength she could actually feel it working and delivered another kick but with the good one, the wall crumbled but her neither leg, foot, nor ankle broke. However, the transfer left her very light headed and she couldn't even tell it worked with how fast the room was spinning.
Adam caught her and carefully picked her up. "I got you," Ada said holding her. She didn't say anything and just clutch her head trying to will it to stop. "Okay you are off to bed," Adam said.
"O... kay..." She sputtered out.
Adam blurred her to their room. He laid her small body down on the bed. "Don't go," She said holding onto him.
"I won't." He promised.
"Good," She said holding him close to her.
She drifted off a short while later as if she was still on the effects of the Langulium Quantricite.
Adam stayed there just holding her gently. 'She's such a peaceful sleeper.' He thought, 'She doesn't snore or toss and turn or anything.' Subconsciously she snuggled into him as he started to drift off as well.
They woke up a while later and Tempest looked at the time. "One thirty?" She yawned. "Well, this is awkward."
"Yeah," Adam said.
"So, what now?" Tempest asked.
"Uh, we...I don't know," Adam said.
"We could run a search for Rodney." Tempest suggested.
"Yes, let's do that," Adam said.
They headed to the room with the scanner. "It still takes a while though."
"So, then what now?" Adam asked starting the machine
As an answer, Tempest just kissed him. Adam smiled into the kiss and pulled her to him, kissing her back. She wrapped her legs around him sliding her tongue into his mouth. Adam moaned into her and just held her there by her butt, he did not go any further though as he had promised.
They had to separate lips for air after a while though. "That is still...wow!" She panted her legs still wrapped around him and his hands still on her butt.
"Very." Adam smiled.
"You know I love you right?" She asked.
"Of course, I do, and I love you, too."
"I know. How did I get so lucky?" She asked.
"By being the most amazing girl in the world," Adam smiled.
"No I'm not," She said leaning down and wrapping her arms around his neck so they were nose to nose.
"To me you are, and that's all that matters."
"That's sweet of you to say," She said smiling as her lips brushed against his.
He connected his lips back to hers. She moaned slightly into his mouth as they continued to make-out. The scanner being a troll finished announcing the completion.
"Every...time…" Tempest said as they broke apart. She climber down and went over to check, "Finally!" She said excitedly.
"What?" Adam asked coming over.
"He's in a landlocked state!" She said.
"Alright he's in the Vegas Tower!" Adam said.
"This will be fun." Tempest smirked.
"Yes it will do we go get the other two?" Adam asked.
Tempest hesitated considering the time yet also the urgency and importance, "Yes."
"Race you!" Adam said.
"You're on!" She said and they both blurred off.
"I win!" Tempest said as they got there sticking out her tongue.
"No, I got here almost a whole millisecond earlier." Adam argued.
"You did not I did!" She said defiantly.
"No, I definitely did."
"No I did, now shh we have to wake them up," She said.
"Any ideas on how exactly?" Adam asked.
"Water or an air horn?" She offered.
"Wouldn't the water be pushing too far with Feliss?" Adam asked.
"The water yes the air horn, she would laugh."
"Then let's use the air horn." Adam said.
"Fun we can do it over the comm!" Tempest said smirking.
Adam smirked back, "Yes."
The raced off to the comm room and got the air horn. "Count of three?" Tempest asked
Adam nodded, "One."
"Two…" Tempest said smiling
"Three." They both said and she blew the air horn right through the comm.
In their shared room Feliss and Isabella jumped out of bed shocked. Once the shock settled, Feliss cracked up and went on her comm. "What is it?"
"We found Rodney land locked," Tempest said.
"We'll be right over." Feliss said and they both appeared there.
"So where is he?" Isabella asked.
"Vegas." Tempest smirked.
"Awesome, can we dress up?" Isabella asked
"Of course, I don't see why not." Tempest smiled.
"Suits!" Adam said.
"We're gonna look awesome." Feliss said before adding, "Just don't put me in shoes or a dress."
"Silk suits?" Adam asked.
"Perfect." Feliss smiled.
"Do we have any?" Isabella asked.
"Of course we do." Tempest smiled. "This is DEI after all."
"Dibs on red!" Adam said blurring to the clothes.
"Dibs on purple!" Feliss said blurring there as well.
"Hey I want purple!" Isabella said chasing her along with Feliss.
"Too late, I already dibs it!" Feliss chuckled with the purple velvet suit on. "Not to mention that I'm still faster than you."
"Please?" Isabella asked.
"There's a pink one you could have." Feliss offered attached to her purple one.
"Oh that works," Isabella said.
Soon, they were all dressed, Adam in the red one, Feliss in the purple one, Isabella in the pink one, and Tempest in the grey one.
"We look good," Adam said.
Tempest nodded, "Especially you, Adam."
"No look at you," Adam said blushing.
Tempest blushed, "You're still better."
"Not even a little," Adam said.
"I disagree." Tempest said folding her arms.
"Well, it's true ask them," Adam said point to Isa and Feliss.
"I'm staying out of this." Feliss said simply.
"Oh come on!" Adam said.
Isabella looked back and forth weighing them. "Tempest looks better."
"See?" Adam said triumphantly.
Tempest rolled her eyes, "Well, alright, let's just go kill that bastard."
"Last one there buys breakfast!" Isabella said blurring away.
They all blurred off.
Isabella got there first, then Felicity, Tempest, and finally Adam.
"Darn." Adam muttered.
"Even with superspeed you just barely lost," Feliss said shrugging.
"I have to buy breakfast then." Adam sighed, "Even though Isabella cheated."
"I did not!" Isabella said.
"You had a head start." He reminded.
"And?" She asked.
"And that makes it impossible with superspeed." Feliss pointed out.
"True," Isabella said.
"Otherwise I obviously would have won." Feliss said with confidence.
"Is there not even the slightest chance I would have won?" Adam asked.
"If you had a head start," Feliss shrugged.
"Aw," Adam shrugged going over to the wall. "Are we going for drama or efficiency?"
"Drama's more fun." Tempest said simply.
"Okay!" Adam said punching the wall down
Rodney was surprised but turned to face them, "You!"
"You were expecting Santa Clause?" Adam asked.
"No, but I see his elves came," Rodney said.
Adam disappeared and reappeared next to Rodney with his hand around his throat. "I didn't think throwing insults is a wise idea for you."
"You have powers?" He asked.
"Yes, I do, thank you for that, by the way. They make killing you so much easier."
"What? How is it my fault?" He gasped.
"That little dart you stuck me with. Might want to research the chemicals you decide to use before you use them."
"It said it was poison,"
"Maybe," Adam shrugged, "but you also should have known that Heinz used it on this Feliss which is what gave her her powers."
"Foolish mistake," Rodney gasped.
"Should I just kill him now or have some more fun?" Adam asked his group.
"I think we have just a little bit of fun," Tempest said.
"Would you like to take over then Ms. Doofenshmirtz?" Adam offered.
"Yes, yes I would," She said. He stepped aside to let her, "Baseball anyone?" She asked. Adam in his obliviousness was confused by what she meant. "I throw and you all hit him," She said.
"How could she possibly throw me?" Rodney asked not buying it.
"I have powers too," Tempest smirked.
"How?" He asked being pretty sure he didn't hit her with a dart.
"My amazing best friend and boyfriend recreated your darts," She said.
"Hey!" Isabella said not likely being left out.
"And my best friend's equally amazing girlfriend," Tempest added.
"Thank you." Isabella said better now.
"You are all pathetic," He said.
"I don't think so." Tempest said appearing behind him.
"You're the worst of them," He said.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not the grown man who followed every order of a fifteen-year-old girl and younger who would have killed you to save herself without even blinking an eye." Tempest countered.
"You little..." He snarled as she threw him.
"You know it's true." She said quickly as he flied towards the others.
"Isabella you're up first pipe?" Adam said pulling a pipe out of the wall.
Isabella took the pipe and a batting stance hitting perfectly when it was time, "Really the balls?" Adam asked.
"That was serendipitous." Isabella flinched.
"Well he's already down," Adam said.
"Sorry." Isabella said leaning against the pipe.
"Is he dead?" Tempest asked.
Feliss bent down and checked for a pulse and shaking her head, "Just unconscious and will probably never have natural children more reasons than that no one would ever to do that with him, willingly at least. Should I wake him up?"
"No, do we just take him in?" Adam asked.
"That would probably be best." Tempest said after some thought.
"Yeah, I suppose," Feliss sighed.
"We don't need to kill everyone, Feliss." Tempest said from the sigh.
"I know, I know," She shrugged.
Feliss picked him up, "Let's just head back."
"Pancakes after?" Adam offered instantly cheering Feliss up.
"Deal," Feliss said with a smile.
"Okay this time we all leave at the same time," Adam said.
"Alright, ready, set, go!" Feliss timed and they all blurred off.
Feliss arrived at Firestorms base first, "How are you so fast?" Tempest asked arriving.
"I'm amazing!" Feliss said. Isabella arrived then Adam. "Last again," Adam sighed
"Sorry, Adam." Tempest said looking down.
"Don't be it's not your fault," Adam said.
"Still, it's unfortunate." Tempest frowned.
"It's fine," Adam said knocking
"Identification required," Said an automatic voice.
Adam pulled out his I.D. "Identity confirmed state your business,"
"Just delivering a caught criminal to custody," Adam answered.
"Access allowed," The voice said opening the door wide
They took him to the holding area. Luckily he hadn't woken up quite yet. They threw him in a cell and closed the door.
"Now, let's go back to our base and get started on those pancakes." Adam said locking it.
"Racing again?" Isabella asked.
"Yep," Adam said blurring off hoping that would stop him from losing.
"Hey!" They all shouted.
They all blurred after him.
The girls got here first though and Adam did not arrive instantly. When he did not arrive after five minutes either they started to worry.
