Blake Training Center, Great Falls, Montana:
“Alright, ladies, let’s see what each of you is capable of. Cortney, you’re first up.” Dr. Fox looks at the blonde-haired woman.
“What do you want me to do?” Cortney looks at Dr. Fox.
“Let’s start on the treadmill first.” Mr. Fox looks at the Amazonian-built woman.
“Okay.” Cortney walks over to the treadmill and starts running.
“Boring.” Brandi saw how fast Cortney was running.
Cortney looks at Brandi and increases her speed. She manages to bring her speed up to sixty miles per hour. She maintains the speed for nearly twenty minutes. She wasn’t winded either.
“Okay, I’m a little impressed.” Brandi was impressed that Cortney could run sixty miles an hour without being winded.
“Alright, you’re next, Jennifer.” Mr. Fox looks at the Native American woman.
“Do you want me to change or run as I am?”
“Change.” Dr. Fox looks at Jennifer when she says that.
Jennifer concentrates and changes as her wings sprout from her back, and her whole body changes. She steps up onto the treadmill and starts running. She doesn’t reach Cortney’s speed, but does hit fifty miles per hour. Her wings were throwing her off as she ran.
Brandi was watching along with the others. She was impressed that the Amazonian-looking woman and the bird woman were pretty fast. As for the others, they reached normal athletic speeds. That included Domino as well.
“Alright, let's move on to the next test after everyone has completed the treadmill.” The next test was weight lifting.
Cortney turned out to be the strongest among them. She could lift eighty tons, which was the same weight as an Abrams tank fully loaded out. The next strongest among the group is Jennifer, and she is capable of lifting ten tons. Jessica is found to be able to hold two tons for a short period of time. Kara turns out to be able to lift two hundred pounds.
As for the teenage girls, all of them except Auroa and Lilith were of average strength. They each could lift one ton apiece. The reason Auroa was able to do it was because she could generate lightning. She could use her lightning ability to lift a metal object.
The next test is an agility test. It was a specially designed obstacle course, but also a basic agility test of grabbing an object and dodging an attack by a robotic opponent.
“All right ladies, this is going to test how fast you react to a situation.”
“Do we have to? I can already run this course like its nothing.” Brandi has been tested on a similar course.
Mr. Fox looks towards Brandi. She had grown on him “we’ve improved it, since we tested you young lady. And since you are being so vocal about it, you go first.”
“No problem.” Brandi stretches and prepares to run the course.
“On your mark, get set, GO!” Mr. Fox presses start on his stopwatch.
Brandi takes off and is a blur as she zooms through the first part of the course. The second part, she was doing good and then all of a sudden, she slips and goes sliding into a bunch of airbags.
“Looks like someone needs to practice more.” A smile appears on Jennifer’s face.
Brandi stands up and looks towards Mr. Fox, “
That wasn’t fair.”
“Combat isn’t fair, Brandi. Now, let’s continue with the test.”
“If you want me to run through that course as a normal person, no problem. But, if you want me to go through that course with my wings, there’s going to be a problem.” Jennifer knew her wings would be a problem.
“We have a new test for you, Jennifer.” Dr. Blake was working with Dr. Fox.
“Cool, now let’s continue.” Mr. Fox keeps testing all of them.
Cortney, Jessica, Lilith, Kara, and Domino turn out to be the most agile of the group. Domino and Jessica danced through the course like it was nothing. Lilith managed to phase her body to pass through some of the course.
Stephanie and Auroa stumbled and got hurt. Two of the medics on duty helped them. Around one in the afternoon, they stop for lunch. All the teenagers were exhausted.
“Man, Auroa. You could power a city with how much energy you generate.” Kara couldn’t believe how much energy Auroa was pumping out. The huge energy storage unit that Mrs. Fox hooked Auroa to took all the energy she could generate.
Auroa looks over towards Kara, “Yeah, but it took everything I had.”
Auroa was feeling wasted. She was glad they stopped for lunch.
“I know what you mean, Auroa.” Brandi had her plate piled up with food. She had a second plate with a bunch of desserts that they were serving and several milkshakes.
“Brandi, how can you eat all of that?” Stephanie was amazed at all the food on Brandi’s tray.
“I need the calories. Whenever I use my super speed, I burn a lot of calories.” Brandi takes a huge bite out of a
triple-decker hamburger.
“I wonder what they have planned for us after lunch.” All of the girls were sitting by themselves at a covered table.
“So, how long have all of you known each other?”Domino looks towards the older ladies.
“Kara, Jessica, and I have known each other since they were in high school together.” Cortney looks down towards Domino.
“I met the girls when Pat brought them to the mountain to train.” Jessica had grabbed a few different tacos.
“How about you, Stephanie?” Domino was curious.
“Pat is my adopted mother. I don’t know much about my past. How about you three? I know Auroa and Lilith come from New Orleans. How about
you, Domino?” Stephanie was curious.
Lilith looks towards Stephanie, “If you haven’t already guessed, Stephanie. I’m into the Goth culture.”
“I never met Lilith before, except when your mother came to pick us up, Stephanie. My adopted parents worked, and I tutored a lot.” Auroa misses some of the people she tutored.
“I grew up on the bayou. My father and brothers hunted alligators for a living.”
“Alligators? Are you nuts?” Stephanie couldn’t believe someone was crazy enough to hunt them.
“We have to keep the population in check. If not, people and children could die. Plus, have you ever eaten alligator meat?”
“No.”
“You don’t know what you are missing.”
After lunch, the girls go back to testing again.
