Sil got the shower ready and refused to allow her to undress the rest of the way. He enjoyed unwrapping his present. He went to remove his shirt and she slapped his hand and took care of that herself. Soon they were both ready to test the shower. The water temperature heated up fast so they didn't need to let it run long. It was ready before they were. The water disbursement from the shower head was perfect in both their opinions.
He started caressing her, "I don't want you out there tomorrow."
She put her hands on his shoulders and jumped up, wrapping her legs around his waist. "None of us want to be out there. There is monster on the loose and he needs to be stopped. You wanted to be a super hero. So be mine." She looked him straight in the eyes when she said that. She leaned in and kissed his neck ever so tenderly. "You have three abilities right? How about invisibility to protect your identity if you can find it, Dobin's level 8 earth ability, and level 7 teleport. Stay invisible until he grabs me then touch him. We need him to talk."
Sil had fire in his eyes and pushed her against the wall to test how long the water would stay hot for.
*****************
18 minutes.
Not for the length of time for the hot water to run out but for the water tank to empty.
Then they tested out the cot. It wasn't the most cozy but with a field mat on it, it should be good. Other than that, the bed worked just fine. They just couldn't atest for how good it was for sleeping.
Without knowing how long cleanup was to pack it back up, they stepped out at 8pm. Since her bra was coated in beast-milk, she had to put her clothing on then use level-1 armor to support Caser who was still sound sleep. They took the beast formula from the fridge and put it all in her bag. They hit the clean all then fold button then walked out. That was harder to find. It was under help. Lana thought about having that changed but then the thought of someone hitting it on accident came to mind. Best to leave that alone.
Vorden and Lana stood outside watching to see how long the process took. It was only 5 minutes.
This time they walked back to the dorms together. He walked her to her door and would not leave until she was safely inside.
Lana sent a message to Logan of the suggestions she had. She added in moving the sink to share a wall with the bathroom and have the tanks up against each other with a sensor. If someone was in the shower and needed more water, they could get it from the other tank or vise versa. He asked her to bring it up so he could adjust it but she had to tell him she could not. She was under strict orders to not leave her room without her team. He came down to her instead and made the adjustments in her room. She was feeding Caser again while Logan was working so she had to show off the cute little guy. Logan was unphased and his curiosity was fleeting. It wasn't any form of science or technology.
As Logan was leaving and she was bidding him goodnight with another sandwich, she realized something. Had her venus fly trap not died, the luxury kitchen would not have fit in that spot and she would not have been able to put it up in the Agricultural area. She was still sad about her plant but at least its death had meaning now.
The next day was upon them before they knew it. Caser was able to feed himself through the night due to proximity of the bottle but it was empty come morning. There was no wetness due to leakage over night which made her happy. Progress has been achieved! She wrapped the baby who had already gone back to sleep with a towel again and placed him in her bed with the covers while she showered. She made it quick to make sure she got him safely tucked away. She felt better with him on her. She didn't want him to be discovered.
She went to class as usual with her regular escorts. Vorden left the canteen early, presumably to go get abilities. He tapped Dobin on the way out. Who knows where he was going to get invisibility from but it was integral to the plan.
From his homeroom class: I got the two abilities. Just need his.
Lana exhaled not even realizing she was holding her breath. Thank you!
I'm skipping elemental class today and joining your class.
Okay.
Classes went as normal. After lunch, Del is making me go practice for this damned tournament.
Okay.
NOT okay. I'll see what I can do.
Lana smirked, Going to find me to heal an injury?

In Agricultural Club, Duff brought his watch over to show her just as they were getting ready to switch to the second half which she always spent in her tree.
Change of plans. Keep her there.
"Tell him I always stay late anyway at my tree."
Duff did and nodded to her.
Lana sent a message to Dobin and Kattie: Change of venue. My tree after class.
She received two thumbs up in response.
As soon as the first half of the class was over, she went to her tree. This month they were discussing fruit trees. She thought exploring plants with huge leaves would suit her better. She liked the results of the elephant ear when tested with Leo. He was strong so it much be okay to use against weak opponents but not strong ones. Though… Those thorns growing against that suction thing was interesting too. Would that be more beneficial to explore? Four-inch spikes could really be painful. She decided to sit on the ground under her tree and explore what she was feeling when that happened.
She built up her armor to stage-2 and brought her mind back to that moment. She was elated that she got those two hits in and saw the threat coming from the corner of her eye. She was mid-move so she couldn't stop it from getting her so she had some panic in her. Then she felt.
The spikes came out. She felt the extra weight even though it wasn't that much. She smiled. Come get me, Pucket.
