Caitlyn had it all figured out. Or so she hoped. She usually kept her teleporting to under a mile, just in case. She didn't really want to faint or get sick in front of people. Not very dignified or Roman like, especially being in the second most prestigious cohort. But this time, she wanted to try. Perhaps she could expand her power. Besides, maybe it was something she just needed practice on... maybe she could slowly ease herself into going further directions. Not ten miles or across a continent like her father, but maybe around 5 miles. One day. Maybe, maybe not. Well, never knew until you tried, and Kate had decided on this day (for no particular reason) that she'd try it.

She had very meticulously planned it out. An foot or two beyond a mile. One good thing (if not slightly scary) about only being able to teleport a mile was that she had taught herself exactly how far a mile would be from almost anywhere in Camp and New Rome. She taught herself this mostly in the months of the impending war. She had sort of obsessed over it. Lost sleep on it. Hundreds of diagrams. Night after night of memorization. Precise measurements. Her looking like a bit of a lunatic. But it was worth it in the end. She had teleported a fair bit during the war. Out of fear of passing out mid-battle, she never did teleport the full mile (that was only going to be for emergencies), but just knowing her limits had helped her tremendously.

Alright. Now or never. Just do it. Kate took a deep breath and willed herself to vanish. With any luck, she'd land twelve inches from the ouster perimeter of the field of Mars. Land there she did, but not without taking into account that there could be a person there...

OOC: Finally got kate to talk to me again :D

Notes: Hope it is ok! XD

Nova recently had her surgery, recently got released from the infirmary, but she knew she needed to start with her trainings, even when the prestetix for her spinal bone worked perfectly, she still had to get used to it, and that was something that would take some time. she could move her legs perfectly again, but when she moved her back she could feel the prosthetix there. With cold weather it hurt like a frozen hell. So she needed to get her back stronger, to train again even when now it wouldn't be the whole second cohort training, but soon... would be soon.

She walked really slow from the forge to the Fields of Mars, all by herself. Which made her super proud of herself. Amazingly she was taking her time and not over pushing herself as she used to do. She wanted this to last, it was a perfect prosthetic piece, because with her technopathy she would knew if something was wrong with i, also if it needed a fix or just to be replaced. She hoped not, when it was finished she had to be sedated for three days to stand the pain in her back and legs.

So she walked into the fields of Mars and she loked around, it was the perfect place at that moment of the day to practice her skills, to see if her chakram was still an extension of her or not. Maybe so long in a chair had made her forgotten it? She breathed deeply and grabbed the chakram from her hip and then looked around, she needed some good angles to make it come back to her hand. Suddenly someone just popped into the place and ran into Nova. Both of the girl fell down, Nova didn't hit her back as a miracle.

"what...?" She said and looked at the person. "are you ok?" She said rubbing her back.

Good news: she could go a bit farther than a mile without passing out or throwing up. Bad news: she had accidentally run into a person while doing it. "Yes, I'm fine. You? I'm so sorry!" she squeaked, looking around to see who she had run into. Nova. "Nova!" she said, feeling a bit better instantly, but no less guilty for slamming into her friend. "Sorry about that, I'm trying to push a mile. Just a little." It took her a moment to realize that her best friend was no longer in a wheelchair. It was just like old times, that her brain forgot to make up for the fact that Nova had indeed been in one for months. "They did it?! How're you feeling?" she asked. Dang... the forge and the medics were amazing... The best thing was, Nova could probably tell if something went wrong because of her link with technology. It really was amazing... some of the things demigods could do power wise. It was also cool what they could do human wise. What they could come back from.

Kate hadn't been imprisoned by the government, but she knew plenty of demigods who had been. They had all made their own comebacks. And she couldn't be more proud of them: her cohort-mate included. Wait... Nova had a prosthetic... and she had just knocked her over. A sickening thought settled in her stomach, and for a moment she was scared to ask. "Did... did I break it or... or something?" she asked timidly. Wow, she felt like such a child. She had missed her friend during training. Matilda had gone off to join the hunters, so now it was just them two. Not that she disliked her other cohort members, but she missed not having both Nova and Kate by her side. 

OOC: Such late. Much short. Wow.
