Okay guys, so more good news. I get paid tomorrow, so pretty happy about that. Looking to buy an AR15 after I get at least one more paycheck, plus ammo is finally be restocked at a decent price where I live, so I'm happy about that. Because literally the only ammo I could find was a single box of 20 rounds of hollowpoints. Which is going to be my conceal carry ammo. No way I'm using that on the range.

Finally managed to find some good ammo for the range.

Another update is my beard has been growing for three months, and I'm starting to look like a civil war general. I love it.

Anyways heres the new chapter.

Oh and someone messaged me asking how I felt about Clover's semblance being good fortune when I made Jems semblance good luck in the origal fic. And honestly, I geeked out a little when that happened.

With Jem

Jem for the first time in his life was having trouble focusing on a workout. You see, Jem had specifically picked this cabin for one reason. Despite having an amazing view of the lake and being nice and peaceful, it also had its own gym. But this wasn't an indoors gym, it was an outdoor gym, made out of ropes, rocks, and tree branches, so it was affectionally called the 'Jungle Gym'. Jem picked it because it reminded him of a Calum Von Moger video. And for what he was paying to rent this place, it was worth it. He had a place to do leg curls and extensions, a squat rack with a bench attachment, a few cable machines. Seriously it was everything he needed. But if it was everything he needed, why was he having a hard time focusing on a workout?

Well, because for the first time in a long time, he saw something he liked to look at more than his own body.

And what was that you may ask?

Well, Elm had come to use the jungle gym. And needless to say her workout clothes were really getting to Jem.

A skin tight tank top showing off her six pack going down into a nice v line accentuating her physique down to her nice hips and firm ass. Jem swore to himself that when he worked out, he would never be that guy in the gym who was creepily staring at women when they worked out.

And unfortunately, he was having a real hard time keeping that promise. Because it was really...REALLY HARD.

It also didn't help that out of all the exercises she could have done, she chose to do squats...right in front of him.

It was torture. All he wanted to do was deadlift, but he couldn't help it when looking at those muscular thighs of the tomboy version of She Hulk in front of him. It was legit amazing. But again, he couldn't let himself stare at her! He wasn't one of those creepy neckbeards who went to the gym to stare at the fit girls goddamit! He was a fucking tank!

He did have to admit though, this was the first time he was miring a fit woman. Most of the time he caught himself looking at other jacked dudes in the gym.

...Now that he thought about it, it was kind of weird that he did that.

"Damn Elm, even though you're still strong as hell, its weird seeing how being in this world is kind of affecting you." Harriet said as she was also in a pair of track shorts and a tank top. But Jem wasn't interested in her.

Just the fact that Elm had pulled her shirt up a bit to wipe the sweat off of her forehead which showed off her goddess abs, and Jem again felt something else stand at attention as he got to the peak of his deadlift.

"You're telling me, usually I would be doing this no problem, but it seems like being here is already having a negative effect on my strength, I'm not weak by any means, but damn I used to be able to go much heavier.

"WHY GODDAMIT WHY?!" He said as he dropped his weights. Not even realizing he had hit a new PR.

"Hey Jem!" Elm said as Jem froze.

"Think you can squat this?" She asked as Jem saw how much it was.

"Shit! Thats 405 lbs! I've never squatted that much before! But...if I say no, I look like a little bitch!" Meanwhile Jems two brains were thinking.

One was his logical brain, and it was currently telling him to not risk it and use an excuse like 'I got bad knees' or 'Doctor says I can't squat anymore.'

And the other brain was his dick.

And his dick was screaming like Ronnie Coleman saying 'YEAAAHHHHH BUDDDDYYYY!'

And sadly we all know which one won.

"Yeah sure I'll do it!"

Fuck.

Winter and Alex

"Okay hunny, first thing first is, obvious, we cut your hair!" Alex said as Winter pulled her sword out.

"...You wanna run that by me again?" She said as she glared at him.

"Woah! Easy!" Alex said as he had no idea where the sword came from.

Nor did he have any idea why Winter brought her sword with her. But he wasn't going to ask her that, as he would probably get an answer about never being unarmed. Kind of like Jem with his gun. Seriously those two had no idea how similar they were at times.

"I am not cutting my hair!" She said as despite not being your stereotypical woman, she admitted she was fond of her hair.

She wasn't on Yangs level, but she still loved it.

"Look, Jem likes girls with short hair, all I'm suggesting is we trim a bit to give you more of a tomboy look." He said as Winter shook her head.

"I'm pretty sure Jem would just see that as desperate that I'm willing to change myself an outrageous amount to catch his attention." She said as she didn't like the idea.

"Okay thats a good point, but you saw how he reacted to Elm with short hair right? I'm just saying, maybe if we trim it down a bit, we have better odds." He said as she had put the sword away.

"I don't want Jem to like me because of that! I want him to like me for me!"

"I know that, but you said you two were getting along fine right? And think about this, this way you're sending him an obvious signal you like him." Alex said trying to save Operation Fire and Ice.

Actually he couldn't remember how many different code names he had for it now, Operation Melting Snow, Operation Fire and Ice, Operation Elsa, Operation Snow Queen, the list went on.

Both were interrupted by a loud scream.

"WOOOOOOOOO!" They heard Jem yell out in excitement.

"What the hell?" Winter asked as they had no idea what was going on.

They ran towards the sound of the noise. Only to see Jem at a squat rack with Elm cheering him on.

"I can do this!" Jem said as he was hyping himself up for a lift.

"Oh you got to be kidding me." Winter thought something was going wrong for a bit.

Harriet was just looking at him like he was an idiot, because for some reason, he set up his phone and was blaring Ronnie Colemans 800 lb squat in front of him.

Elm however found herself liking the Ronnie Coleman montage, mostly because she loved how such a big man had such a high pitched voice.

"EVERYBODY WANNA BE A BODYBUILDER! BUT NOBODY WANNA LIFT THIS HEAVY ASS WEIGHT!" Jem said as Elm found herself strangely getting into it.

"AAHHH! I DO IT THOUGH!" Jem yelled as he got underneath.

"Oh no..." Winter said as she saw the amount of weight.

Knowing that Jem's max was nowhere near that.

"Jem! Don't! You're not that strong!" Winter rushed over to try and talk some sense into Jem.

"YEEAAAHHHH BUDDDDYYY!" Too late.

Jem lifted the bar off of the rack.

Winter freaked out, thinking he was about to break his back.

But then surprise came.

Winter was shocked.

Alex was shocked.

Elm was shocked but smiling.

Harriet was shocked.

But most of all.

Jem was shocked.

He went down, and went right back up no problem.

"Huh?" He said as he was confused.

So he went down again.

And despite the amount of struggle he felt. He still got it up.

Not wanting to press his good luck. He re racked the weight.

"Wow! I mean, you only did it twice, but hey thats not bad for someone with no Aura!" Elm said as she got him into a headlock and gave him a noogie.

Winter was about to step in and stop it. Until she noticed the beaming smile on Jem's face.

She didn't know what was worse, the fact that Elm had Jem in a headlock...or the fact that Jem seemed to be enjoying it.

But one thing was eating at her.

Jem had never squatted 405 lbs before in his life. Yet he just did it twice with no issue. How?

There is no way a love for tomboys could increase his strength that much! There was no way that yelling out 'Lightweight' actually helped! There was NO WAY he could have done that.

You would have to have some Clover level of good fortune for that to happen!

She looked around really quick, only to see that Clover was off fishing on the lake.

Leaving Winter extremely confused.

But then Jem walked up to her.

"Winter...did you really say I wasn't strong?"

Oh crap.

Winter may have just made the situation worse.
