What The Luck!?

The messages slowly appeared in the group chat in the morning as everyone was up to do the morning stretching and work pout they had agreed upon and were given by coach Winters and Garnet.Â

Asher- I'm pretty sure I have left the world of the living and fell in to the depths'¦

Jane- take a hot shower then stretch. It worked for me. I also had some tea. It really wakes you up.

The group was astounded by Jane most of all. She sounded too fake in this response when they were all still trapped in bed by sore muscles.

Louis- Talk to text, my friends. Talk to text saves lives.

Sammy- Is my body even my body? All I know is pain.

Jackson- even I feel sore. Watering all the plants took an extra ten minutes this morning.Â

Art- oh, ten extra minutes. Mr. perfect human body took ten extra minutes. You owe us compensation!

The morning continued this way even after they had all managed to get up and set out of the house on a very strange slow jog. The only one that had not said a single word was Laura. She was perfectly fine already due to her faster metabolism helping her break down nutrients and heal her body. No one dared to say anything ability her silence. Having her mention she was fine would end up hurting their ego.Â

"Finally, I had to wait for everyone forever. Why didn't you guys just stop and buy those heating patches I told you all about last night? I use them after hard work outs all the time. That's why it's so easy for you to jog today." Cara had also been silent but she was not showing off the over fifteen heating patches she wore on her body.Â

"And what? Look like a mummy? Halloween is months away thank you very much." Sammy had taken the chance to tease Cara. Unfortunately, the response was Cara chasing her around the park while Sammy groaned at every step. This was naturally to Cara's personal entertainment since she had prepared for the soreness that came after the harsh work out.Â

"I still don't know what the vitamin packs didn't work as well as the first time we ever tried them." Jane had stretched her aching muscles already but swore that they had not fully recovered. Her tough boost was now being uncovered as a temporary solution rather than a permanent one.Â

"That's simple. The work out we did was harder than our body could recover in one night no matter what. Plus, it was a full body lifting session after with a jog home as cardio. That is just asking for pain. How else would we end up after hours and hours of working out?" The feeling that Louis had was one of pain. But his mind was still flowing and going over everything he had learned the days before. Unsurprisingly, he found that he had learned a lot about everyones' fighting styles and moves.Â

"That just means we need to prepare before hand better next time. I feel like we could have done a lot more of pre work out planning." Since Laura had experienced the soreness faster than anyone else, she knew that this would last for multiple days instead of the same as she had which was only a few hours. Her friends were not going to be happy about it unless they had a solution for the future.Â

"Actually, that brings me to a good point I wanted to make today. Diet. We don't really have one and I think we should use the home gum app for it. There is even a section that tracks what our bodies need every day. We have been missing a crucial part of the equation. I know most of us eat healthy anyways. But this feeling is because weren't ready enough. We will always be sore, but not this sore."Â

The group agreed with Asher fully. They had more or less ignored this aspect and tried to eat well sometimes. But Cara and Asher who had Ar around did not. Art was a master at cooking anything bad for them. But when it came to healthy foods, they would soon become unhealthy due to the oils and butter that Art added. Of course, this was the same for many other foods but was just too true when it came to deserts.

"If we are doing the whole healthy eating thing, then we should use the vegetables from my gardens more. I can guarantee that we all have a better diet." Jackson took the chance to put his food in front of the line. Not a single one of the group could argue with this. There really would be nothing better in comparison.Â

The group continued to argue and suggest things as they tried to get the motivation to keep on their work out. Before long, they found themselves at an impasse. They needed to get to the harder portion of their work outs but were still a little apprehensive.Â

"Hey Louis, why don't you show off that new move you have with your super power?' This was Sammy's idea to get them out of having to get back to some more muscle training or painful stretching. But Louis was too smart and knew that he was being used.Â

"Then you need t show them your move too. I know you used it while training yesterday but never explained." The two glared at each other before finally turning their eyes toward the rest of the group. Everyone had locked their eyes on them since they had an idea of what the other was thinking about but not really about what the two had decided.Â

"Ugh, fine. I will go first. I can step on the air if I use my super power to push my foot a certain way. It's the same I do to my whole body but more specific." Sammy jumped up and used her super power to manipulate the wind quickly. She looked like she had just stepped up in the air for a split second but had really just done as she said so. To the group is was a great way to dodge some harsh attacks in a way no one else could.Â

"I think you could use that to jump entire walls if you want." Jackson would have kept praising Sammy if she didn't start to blush before she replied.Â

"Can't you just jump some walls without a power like mine?' This was very true. Jackson had a lot more strength in his body and could easily jump right over lowe walls.Â

Louis had thought that he might have the chance t get away for a moment. But eyes slowly drifted toward him. "I made myself faster. Remember biology lessons? Well, our body uses electrical impulses to move. Our brains literally are all electrical impulses. So if I use my bodys' lightning to fore my muscles faster, I become faster.  Lot faster. The only downside is that it puts a huge strain on my legs." Just thinking about it was making Louis's legs feel a little cramped.Â

Oh, so pretty much how my legs feel if I skip some potassium in my breakfast." Lois didn't have the heart to tell her that the feelings may have been similar but the functions were different in the long run. However, Cara was also looking at the two of them and comparing the super powers and their results.Â

"You both managed to work on something to boost your speed temporarily. Have you trained it against each other?" Cara had not known that the two had long tested their super powers in these ways against each other. But after glancing at their faces, she was told the answer. "Then you both should think about how this would apply to other situations. Like saving someone falling or maybe even delivering supplies in an emergency."Â

The idea was a good one. The thought process could change based on the situation which would remove some of the strain or force the two to change the way they were using the new tricks.Â

"Wait, can't I do the same? I do it with the metal beads in my gloves. What if I was to put on ankle weights too and just force my legs to move faster? I won't even need to muscle train ever again!" This was the secret hidden training Art had been missing. However, he would never give up all the hard work he had put in his body. If he didn't work out the way he did then he would one day find that his super power was not useful for something and had wouldn't even have the strength to walk. It was an unfortunate possibility but one that was all too true. There was an endless chance that a super power could completely nullify his. Asher just looked at Art and shook his head. He wanted to mention how his won super power boosted speed, but unfortunately, he was not as lucky to have a physical super power.. He needed to use hard work.Â
