Training - Tag Mack

[st_ayedhidden]

Annie was excited as she bounded through the hall. Mack promised to train with her. She should have been in her superhero costume, but she had decided to wear a dress with her hair up in braids. Annie was even wearing mascara. They were to meet outside of the inn in the parking lot and go from there. As she headed for the parking lot, Annie felt butterflies in her stomach. She couldn't seem to stop them every time she got to talk to Mack.

Outside, she glanced around. She was early, but she knew he'd be there.

Comments

She was excited when he turned back and gleeful that he was praising her.

"Thanks!" She said, practically bouncing, "I worked really hard. You're so fast!"

[st_oryboard]

"Kitsunes can run miles in minutes." He hadn't run as fast as he could have because he knew that a human couldn't keep up. Even one with super powers. But, he had run faster than he did when he trained with Jane and Buffy.

"You did really good keeping up with me and tagging."

[st_ayedhidden]

Her grin widened.

"One day maybe I'll get faster than you," She said, giggling softly. "And then you have to catch me."

[st_oryboard]

He actually hadn't been running as fast as he could in his form. Kitsunes can run many miles in just minutes, but he was used to not running full steam with his friends.

"I'd just use my fire arrows." Mack teased her.

[st_ayedhidden]

Her eyes went wide.

"You have fire arrows?" She asked in awe.

He's just so cool. Annie's sudden thought caused her to blush.

"One of my powers is fire. It's why you saw scorch marks and smoke in my footsteps when I ran." Mack started to explain. "I can't manipulate fire like some people here. I just have fire but it stays with me when I'm normal, too."

He smiled and turned to face a small area with rocks so he wouldn't accidentally catch something on fire. Mack held up his hand, he didn't know how it happened, but it was just there. Magic, but it wasn't a spell he thought, it just appeared. He drew back his other arm, as if he were shooting an invisible bow and perhaps he was. An arrow of fire extended from his outstretched hand and with his 'release' the arrow landed among the rocks where it burned for a minute and then disappeared.

She sucked in a quick breath.

"Wow!" She said. "Amazing! You are totally a superhero, you know that right?"

[st_oryboard]

Mack chuckled and shook his head. "I'm not but I hope to be one some day. When I get a lot better at this shifting thing."

[st_ayedhidden]

"I think you'd be good now." She said.

Her eyes widened with a sudden idea.

"We should make a team of people who aren't grown ups," She said. "We could help the older super heroes if things go bad."

[st_oryboard]

"Or we could be our own team, not just helping the adults if things go bad." Mack suggested. He and his friends fought the Warlock and while other Changers definitely helped in the war, they fought as equals.

[st_ayedhidden]

Annie liked this idea best. She nodded enthusiastically.

"Let's do it!" She said. "We'll be the best ever!"
