You know what sucks? Getting your butt kicked by a girl two inches shorter and about 50 pounds lighter. That, in Jamie Madrox's opinion, sucks. It had started simple enough, a sparring match with Laura. It ended with a thud and several moments later, Laura was heading out as though nothing had happened and Jamie was staring at the ceiling of the shoddy little gym. he was afraid to move or even make too much noise.
What if Laura came back?
Thank God the girl decided to keep her claws in. He should have listened to Esme when the girl said Laura was a weapon. And now Jamie was sure he was going to have bruises for weeks.
It took him a few minutes to get up and limp his way to the kitchen, jaw working slightly. His ears were gonna stop ringing soon, right? And when did the kitchen suddenly get two of everything?
Laura, meanwhile, had showered and made her way to the rec room to study the ping pong table. She had no clue how to play and it was something of a curiosity to her. People used it to have fun. That was what she'd been told. For recreational purposes.
Huh.
Stepping away from the table, she decided on a magazine instead. If anyone came in to play ping pong, she'd simply watch. She just did not understand a bit of what the table was for.
