So with a handful of scrapes and bruises gained from the training, Tommy went into the JSAs gym, moving to the standing punching bag and stretching himself out to make himself comfortable.

He'd go ten minutes normal, then shift into his

Shift comes down the stairs and looks for the treadmills til he sees Tommy punching. Shift runs on the treadmill for about ten minutes, then gets off the treadmill and puts on some boxing gloves. He walks over to Tommy and taps him on the shoulder.

"Would, um, would you like to help me practice?" he asks simply.

Tommy had been working on the punching bag hard, barely recognizing that it was one while Tommy was busy. It was only when the fingers tap his shoulder did he realize there was someone else trying to get his attention.

Fighting the urge to jump, Tommy turns to find Shift (he still didn't know the kids name) standing there, eyes like a little doe.

"Uh, sure. Practicing alone sucks," Tommy said with a smile.

Shift floats over into the ring and grins. "I did it! I kept hitting the ceiling before. I figure I gotta practice my flying a little bit too. Can't run everywhere."

He then seems to have it click. "Oh, yeah. I'm Shift, by the way. I forgot to introduce myself in the chaos of the other night." Shift then looks around.

"Wait... was it Kaos or Cthulhu who's supposed to show up if you say their name?"
Or is that just me?

"That's Candlejack, Shift."

Tommy chuckles at the reference. He loved that cartoon when he was a kid. It was a nice little taste of nostalgia.

"Name's Tommy, by the way. I saw the mess made. Hopefully Pops and the old fogies can get it fixed up before any more recruits join in. Would you like with powers or without?"
