Eva (170) has posed:
The sun is sinking into horizon as the smoke billows from a charcoal grill. The scent is almost intoxicating as the flames have long since receeded into some really hot coals. The person tending to this rather large cookout is the newest of the instructors, Eva Wilde. She happens to be setting out an array of meats and veggies. Stuff that would definitely appease even the most selective of palettes. She's even got some veggie burgers ready to go in case that is someones thing.

Eva smiles. She's wearing an apron which reads, "Forget the kiss, I want hugs!" She smiles and happily works on the grill moving at near blinding speed for a moment before taking a seat, letting things just cook. "Ahh that is nice. I wonder who all is going to come?" She comments to herself. She is wearing a rather interesting addition to her usual attire. A silver ring with a lightning bolt on it.

Beast has posed:
The promise of food is a powerful one, especialy in a boarding school that houses kids who would probably eat their own weight in junk every day if someone would let them. So yes, there are a number of summer students who have come out to enjoy the food, students who couldn't go home for the summer to be with their families (or, in many casses, students who have no homes or families..)

So the back yard has a NUMBER of kids who are lounging around, laughing and chatting.. SOme flying, some making sparkles, some in the pool... And all thankful of their new teacher for the spread...

Hank didn't even know there was a barbeque, at least not until he smelled the scent of burning meat from his lab. Someone probably TOLD him but, well, he has been very occupied the past few days.. worred.. a bit short tempered.. But he needs a break.. he needs /food/ beyond coffee and twinkies.. and the blue furred scientist steps out into the backyard.. His mane is a bit in dissarray and he carries a tablet in hand, but he is following his nose..

Eva (170) has posed:
Eva darts to the grill as a few kids come up. She quickly serves up some hotdogs and gestures to a small table filled with condiments so the kids can actually dress their food. She smiles and winks to them before turning her attention back to the gril. Quickly she flips some of the burgers and a few of the veggies. Then its back to her bench where she gets comfrotable for a few moments.

Beast has posed:
Hank is in line, advancing on automatic as he has his attention on his tablet. His claws tap away on the screen with a furious pace and soon he is at the FRONT of the line, but not noticing he has made it there.. that is until a little girl behind him poke him. "Misssster McCoy..." she saysm, around a forked tounge. She has no legs either, instead the bottom half of a snake, though she wears a dress. Hank blinks and looks down at her. "Yes, Najia?" he asks. She points at The Barbeque and Eva and Hank turns... and ois. "So sorry... What do we have?" he asks.

Eva (170) has posed:
Eva snickers and notes the arrival of Beast. She gives a little wave as she moves back to her position at the grill. She gives a little smile as more people come up for food. One of them wants some chicken. Another some grilled cauliflower. Both are served up with a warm smile. "Enjoy!" She states with a grin.

Beast has posed:
Hank watches with a bit of a smile as Eva serves the others, whom he let around him since he /had/ been holding up the line.. The smile, though, semes tinged with a bit of something like.. worry.. ANd he keeps glancing at his tablet.. But finally his stomach growls and Hank sighs. "Three Burgers if you will.. and the same amount of hot dogs.. And how are things going for you?" he asks.

Eva (170) has posed:
Eva gives a little smile and nods to Hank, "You got it!" She quickly serves up the burgers and dogs on a plate. She hands them over to Hank and she grins. "Do enjoy, Dr. McCoy." She Stretches a little and just smiles. "well I'm alright. I got a bit of training last month. Stuff I needed to learn. I am definitely much more confident now. Ready to do whatever it takes. Someone who is sorta like a father figure gave me a suit to wear. It works very well. Keeps me cool when running too! Air cooled!"

Beast has posed:
Hank tucks the tablet under his arm and graciously accepts the plate. "Thank you, Mz. Wilde." he intones. Yeah, thats quite a big plate but, luckily, there are OTHEr students with MORE food.. Thanks to their metabolisms. He sets the plate down on a table next to the barebeque and starts adding condements but easily multitasks so he can contoinue to converse with Eva.

"Well training in the use of one's gifts is always a good thing, though we never really /stop/ training, in some ways.." he says as he hadds cheese.. and mustard.. and that red burger relish he likes so much.. Then he pauses and looks at Eva, brow raised. "A new suit... I see.. And just who is this father figure of yours?" he asks. "Not that I do not dount he gifted you with proper arraignment but building suits for speedsters is no light matter."

Eva (170) has posed:
Eva smiles and nods. She is one such person who would have more food. After all, She's got a metabolism that could make most olympic level athletes drop their jaws. Even now she is making herself a plate up. She's got 2 multi level burgers and a couple hot dogs. She even threw an ear of grilled corn on her own plate.

" I definitely agree with you there. I've just been learning some of the basics that I can build off of with time. Stuff like making vortices running on walls, up and down buildings, running on water, and so forth. Also a few places where to get really good food!" She smiles and laughs. With a quick burst of speed she's across from him at the table, adding condiments to her monstrosities. "As for ho this father figure is, That would be the Flash. As in the Scarlet Speedster. He actually helped me out a lot. He's one of the most experienced speedsters I know. He made me up a suit that is designed to handle the chaos that I can put it through. I'll show you if you like."

Beast has posed:
His food all nicely prepared, Hank leaps up on a planter, perching there, while he piucks a burger ff his plate, examing his handiwork. "The Flash, you say.." It's not a question, more of a statement than anything else. He takes a bite of his burger, pretty much inhaling over half of it, tearing it to shreds with his sharp teeth. he chews, thoughtfully, mmmmmmmming lowly and then swallows.

"Well I guess if anyone would know there way around protection from the forces of speed it would be him." he admits. "I never /met/ the man, if course, but I have aquaintences that have. They speak highly about his scientific and engineering acumen. Still..."

Another bite. Burger gone! He picks up a hotdog.

"Yes, I would like to see it. I have dealt with many speedsters myself so I would like to see what his design is like.. maybe mixing some of his with my own would create an even better product for both sides. If it did, would you be able to contact him?"

Eva (170) has posed:
Eva smiles and takes a bite of her Monstrosity of a burger. It takes some work but its definitely worth the wait. The regular cooks take over grill duty for the time being allowing Eva to actually enjoy the food. She nods a little. "Yeah. The Flash is really nice. He is sorta like a father figure to me as mine died when I was 12 and he's been helping me every now and again since I got out of the speed force."

She takes another bite of her burger and lets out a satisfied "MMm!" She smiles and sets her plate down. "Okay. Well. excuse me a moment and I will show you." With that she vanishes only to return in her uniform. Silver Violet and white with several lightning bolts. She stops in front of McCoy and poses a little. The suit definitely shows off her build, Turns out she's rather muscular.

Beast has posed:
Hank has barely gotten to take a bit of his hotdog when Eva soeeds away and returns milliseconds later... A number of teh students looks surprised, but most shrug it off since it's not like speed is the WEIRDEST thing they see on a daily basis, right?

Hank takes a moment to stare at the young teacher, a critical look in his eye... then he takes abite of the hot dog, chewing as he thinks.. swallows...

"Well, it surely is stylish, I will give it that." he admits. "I wonder what kind of materials he uses.

Eva (170) has posed:
"Ummm one moment." Eva unleashes a burst of speed and is suddenly in her previous outfit. Her uniform is in her hands. "There we go. Not used to this being out now but here we go." She offers the suit to Hank to check out. "He actually gave me a place to store it where I can get to it really fast and change at a moment's notice." She smiles a little and sits down to finish off the first of the two insane sandwiches.

Beast has posed:
Hank sets down his plate, wiping his paws on his smock, and gently takes the offered costume from Eva. "Thank you." he says and as she goe sto eat he rburgers e pulls out his specialized tablet and begins using it to scan the suit... Data scrolling down the screen like a waterfall of nearly arcane symbols. After a few moments there is a *BEEP* and he grins, offering the suit back to her (if she is done her food.. which of course she is."

"I'll run some simulations versus the varous speedster protection suits I have devised for others in the past. It should be interesting."

Eva (170) has posed:
Eva smiles and does something alot slower then she normally would. She sets aside her food and folds the suit, before using the ring to shrink it down and put it away. "The ring will eject the suit extremely fast but only when its hit with the speed force. The lightning that arcs over me when I'm running. From there I can change into it quick and keep going. I don't know how the ring actually works but its definitely useful."

She smiles and grabs her food, "Well umm, I think I need to get back to the grill. I don't mind the cooks taking point with it but, I started it, I'd like to finish it up." SHe grins. "Oh! I am actually working on trying to come up with a name. I don't want some lunatic reporter calling me streak girl, Flash chick or anything horrible ya know?" She laughs.
