Roxy barely ate any of the food given to her in the mess hall. It was far too tasteless and the textures rather unappealing for her. She lived on the streets and would rather starve. By the time she got to the field she was still in her PJ's and it was rather cold yet outside in the dessert. Roxy took her part in the group at the very back and when ordered to run, she would only go at her own pace. No sweat would come from this rebelious spirit. First off, the way that Helga treated her, she felt more like boarding school or juvanile detention would have been better off than here. Roxy kept her arms crossed angrily while Caitlin stood infront of her. She tapped caitlin's shoulder and leaned forward.
"This B*tch is going to get it. Tonight we are going to steal something from her room and chuck it over the wall."
While every other kid who hadn't yet realized any powers they may have had Rainmaker was sent to the inside near some gaurds who were also there for the morning run. The gauntlets were still in place making it an easy "Don't use your powers or else" Tool. It was something of the doctor Summers making. Oh how she loathed them when she had only just met them after reaching this base.
"I want to be in the back, you guys won't mind right. Sure you don't"
She waived her hand at them and moved to the ouside by Caitlin and Roxy. There was an empty space near Caitlin, coincidence? Sarah thought not. There was a slight panic from the guards ast hey told Rainmaker to stay put where she was but where she was now was still in formation and near a few other guards so they felt okay with that. A guard spit at the ground feeling like she had taken too lightly of her situation seeing as she was one of the only kids currently to be treated with such control and condemption with her powers yet she wanted to be uncaring. Sara of course did care, she really did but if she didn't make friends, she knew she wouldn't survive staying here. It was hard enough already just being around gaurds.
"Hey there cutie. What are you doing in the back?"
She smirked holding her hands to demonstrate length for Helga as if already knowing that the woman would come to harass her about the space she gave the others. Sarah directed her attention at Caitlin.

Caitlin almost laughed out loud from Roxy's suggestion. She didn't sing up for this crap. Before she could even return a comment, Sarah made the 'cutie' comment. Green orbs behind circular glasses noted the appraising look from the beautiful olive skinned goddess beside her. This girl looked like she would be popular anywhere. Caitlin puzzled as why she wanted to get to know the 'geeky nerd girl', before she could come up with a comment, "Ummm... I'm just sticking near my friend here. I'm..."
"HEY, FOUR EYES! ZIP IT, AND EYES FORWARD!!!"
Caitlin practically jumped out of her skin, as one of Helga's assistants chewed out Cailtin up one side and down the other.

"So umm... Yah." Henry rubbed the back of his head. "I think I've got the layout of this place. Just let me know when my stuff gets here and I'll start setting up."
He then turned his attention to a corner as if looking at something that wasn't there.

Nathalia found herself running late already. She literally bolted out of her room in PT gear; spandex shorts and a tank top,hair in a messy red pony tail, and ran out to the testing area. She sighed at the sight of her classmates running, nearly six meters ahead of her already. Without waiting for Helga's instructions, she began to run.
Nathalia was suddenly thankful for her last P.E. and ROTC teacher's instructions. They had forced her to run several miles a day, and she slipped into the familiar breathing pattern instantly. Thankfully, she was catching up to the others.

Helga blinked in surprise seeing Nathalia, as she kept pace with the rest of the class. The drill instructor wasn't about to stop their progress... yet. The German native will find out who the new girl is after the mile and a half run set up in six laps.
Caitlin was having a little trouble keeping up with the rest at first; however, a few other kids began to lag behind her, Roxy and Sarah. Glancing to her left, the bespeckled redhead saw Sarah's graceful strides. This was too easy for the dark skinned beauty.
To Kat's right, the redhead noticed that while Roxanne was keeping pace, Cailtin could hear some ragged breathing from the black and pinked haired girl. Whispering just enough for Roxy to hear, Rox, are you okay?"
............
Unbeknownst to the kids running laps, a young blond man with a metalic eyepatch watched the arrival of Nathalia, who had easily caught up with the rest of the runners surpassing several. Slowly, a wide smile formed on Threshold's lips, Interesting....

Nathalia did not know anyone, and was not one for jogging partners anyways. She had no qualms with bypassing the first few students, and found it easy enough to catch up with the group of girls who appeared to be doing well enough. Minus a girl with pink hair, they all could possibly make the mile under eleven minutes. She huffed a greeting and moved on. The systematic breathing was coming easier to her now, and she was enjoying the burn in her legs.
Running was easy for her, and the pounding rhythm of her feet soon lulled her into a trance like state. She was not going to stop until Helga told her to.

As they completed their run, Caitlin whispered to to both Roxy and Sarah, "Hey, do either of you know who that girl is? I didn't see her at breakfast. Could she be a plant or something?"
Helga called for the troop to stop and walked down the line. As the drill instructor reached the back to the formation, she seemed to scrutinize the late comer. Then, it dawned on the German native who this was, the barest hint of a smile flashed toward Nathalia, "Oh, you're Carter. You veren't supposed to join us until tommorrow. Vell, you are here now and velcome. Und since you showed ze initiative, I vill let you count off ze next exercise. Twenty five 4-count push ups!"

Nathalia had come to a halt, her breathing nice and even. She snapped to attention out of habit when Helga spoke to her. "Yes ma'am, thank you ma'am." She had a feeling the other girls were going to have a strong dislike for her now. Nonplussed she dropped to the ground in push up position. Four counts were easy, normal PT four JROTC in Cali. "Down!" she called, waiting for the 'ONE' from the others

Cailtin made a weird face as she complied with the orders. The skinny redhead wasn't used to physical exercise. After the first four count pushup, her arms burned...
As Nat counted off the pushups, Helga walked amongst the students correcting their forms... especially those she saw as slacking. Occasionally, the woman's barks could be heard directed toward the recruits.

Nat pushed out the last four count set, calling out "Twenty!" she froze in the up position, her arms burning. It felt nice. She hadn't PT'd in a long while. "Permission to recover ma'am!" she yelled.

Nat rose and dusted herself off. "Yes ma'am." she turned to the other students, already noting some hostile glares. Great...she thought to herself. "Alright, let's stark with circuits. You are going to run a lap, do ten sit ups. Run a lap, do ten diamond push ups. Run a lap, ten four-count flutter kicks. Run a lap, fifteen mountain climbers. And then a full out sprint around the track." She listed off the normal exercises done on PT Fridays back at her unit.

Confused glances where exchanged for a couple of seconds, before a shaky slender hand rose. Under that hand was a bespeckled wide-eyed stare with a slack-jawed expression was clearly shown on Caitlin's face, "Uhhhhhh.... I really hate to ask, but what are those?"

Nat gave Cailtin a bewildered look. "You don't..." she sighed and then dropped to show a sit up. She rolled over and showed a diamond push up and then transitioned into a flutter kick, snapping her legs out with ease. Finally she fell into the mountain climber pose. Once finished with the demo, she rose. "Any questions?"

Caitlin did know what a situp was, but she didn't know what a 'diamond push up was until Nat demonstrated it. Caitlin continued to wince viewing the demonstrations of the other exercises, We are soooo going to die!"
For a few seconds after Nat's querry, the students blankly looked at her, when Helga suddenly bellowed, "I VANT TO HEAR IT! CARTER ASKED YOU A QUESTION!!"
That suddenly snapped everyone to attention, as a chorus of 'NO MA'AM!' responded. Nodding, Helga walked over to Nat glancing over at the slim redhead, "Miss Carter, you may proceed."
