Carys and Rafe Workout

Carys Chase with Rafe Malebranche.

* Rune was busy going over paperwork for purchase of the club and I was bored. I changed and went to the compound gym. I had music blaring and had taped my hands up to work on the heavy bag like my dad and Aric had showed me. I was getting in some good punches, just in my own world when I heard the gym doors open. I didn't look to see who it was and kept up with what I was doing . I kicked the bag and heard a chuckle. Spinning on my heel to see who was laughing, I was surprised to see Rafe Malebranche. Hands on my hips I looked him up and down.* Something funny, cuz?

 

 

 

 

Rafe Malebranche *I chuckled as I went to get a couple of pads, strapping them to my hands. Carys could hold her own in any situation, but she was really cute when she was training like this. I didn't want to say what was on the tip of my tongue as I went and stood in front of her* Yeah, but I know better than to say what I'm really thinking. Your basic technique's good, but you need a sparring partner, someone to make sure you can take things further.

Carys Chase Like you, huh? Alright, let's do this. * Standing in front of him, I widened my stance and got ready. I threw a couple of punches and Rafe figured out my pattern pretty fast. I tried a uppercut and he caught it. Rafe nodded and I started again, ths time faster. He was starting to move around and I had to follow, keep the blows coming.*

Rafe Malebranche *I danced around, speeding up to push her a bit further than what she was used to. While I moved back and to either side, I made sure to get into her personal space a few times too, to force her to move back* Not bad, not bad at all Cuz. You've been practicing. *She landed a few great punches, I felt it through the pads on my hands. Carys really was very good at this, all of the Breed males in her life made sure of that. None of us would have left her unable to protect herself, no matter how much of a Daddy's Little Girl she was.*

Carys Chase Thanks, Rafe. * I dropped down and kicked his legs out from under him. Laying on the mat, he started laughing and I reached down to help him up.* Just so we are clear, I'm no princess. * Rafe grinned and held his hands up for me. We started like before but he started moving faster, changing up the combinations. I had to keep my eyes on him, watch hs muscles for a hint of where he was moving. If I missed he'd tap my hands with the pads and bring me back to what we were doing.*

Rafe Malebranche *I laughed, knowing Carys could surprise anyone. She watched me very carefully and I knew I had to keep things changing constantly. She knew how I moved, having trained with me for a while now. But I always had a few tricks up my sleeve that she didn't know about . I shifted my weight, as if to go to my right, but moved swiftly to my left and back a couple of steps, causing Carys to over extend herself, just enough to loose her balance and fall forward. I took off one pad and held out my hand* You okay Princess?

Carys Chase *I glared up at him and shook my head before taking his hand.* Asshole! *We both started laughing and I bumped him with my shoulder.* Another round? * Rafe chuckled and nodded as he put the pad back on. I waited till he was rwady and started throwing punches. I got creative and used some of the moves Aric taught me. Rafe bobbed and weaved right along with me. He knew the moves, hell my brother was his best friend. We were going at a good clip when he dodged me, sidestepping me and I almost fell again. I spun and socked him a good one. Rafe laughed and shook the hand I hit and I winked at him.* Princess, huh?

Rafe Malebranche *I laughed as I got into stance* Hell yeah you're a Princess!!! You think you could be anything else? *Carys growled playfully as she threw her first punch. I caught it just in time and danced away, weaving left and right, backwards and forwards. We danced around the mats, sweat dripping down both of us, Carys more so than me. She had definitely picked up a few new tricks, probably from Aric, which was a very good thing. I was impressed, but wasn't about to say that, at least not out loud. Carys was very sweet, but could get cocky if I let her.*

Carys Chase * I growled under my breath and threw punch after punch. Rafe was moving fast but, I kept up. One of these days my father and every male in the comound would realize I could fight as well as any of them. It wasn't enough that I had taken out Rune's father and that was with little training. I push those thoughts away and concentrated on Rafe and hs moves. I threw a combination and one last kick before I called time. I was weating like a pig and the tape was coming off of my hands. I sat down on the mat and started taking my gloves off.* Thanks, cuz. I really needed a partner. I hope I didn't keep you from your own workout.

Rafe Malebranche *I grinned and took the pads off my hands. I was sweating too, though not as bad as Carys.* Not at all Cuz. This was fun. I'm gonna hit the showers then go check in on the infirmary. Mom had mentioned she needed me to check her stockroom. She thinks she's running low on stuff but she has plans. *I gave Carys that look, both of us knowing what plans I was talking about*

Carys Chase *Laughing I patted Rafe on the arm.* Parents, huh? *He nodded and stood, sticking his hand out to help me up. I hugged him quickly and walked over to my gym bag. I gathered up my stuff and thanked him again before leaving him alone. Maybe by the time I had a shower and changed my mate would be done with his business. With all the adreniline in my system, I'll be needing a different workout.*

Trying to get the goods on the young Breeds backfires

Aric Chase

*He didn't understand why he was stuck "checking up" on the rest of the "kids" instead out out getting into trouble with them but here he was, Kade driving and Brock riding shotgun while they watched the throng of humans, and more than a few Breed youth, push their way into the club. He could feel the base throb deep in his chest and they were a few buildings away still. A beautiful blonde with legs to her neck caught his eye. She was smiling over her shoulder at something another female behind her said* Hhhmmmm, she would look good wrapped around my-" * Kade smacks him off the side of his head* What the fuck?!

 Kade Maguire Easy Killer, don't wanna end up on this weeks episode of World's Dumbest Breeds *he held up his phone camera to make sure the footage was recording* Now all we need to do is find one of those youngins striking out and then it's Compound Movie Night for us *chuckling as he pulled the vehicle into a parking space and turned the engine off. Climbing out and stretching his legs, his ears honed in on the all-too familiar sound of pissed off couples who had clearly enjoyed their liquids a little too much* Gentlemen, looks like the action is about to start *grinning, he headed in the direction of the arguing*

 Brock Breed *Grinning at the exchange between Kade and Aric, he opened the door to the nightclub and strode in like he owned the place. Towering over the bouncer, he tossed him a handful of bills.* This should handle the cover charge for the three of us. *The place was dark, reeked of smoke, both tobacco and weed, and noisy as fuck. The dance floor was jammed.* I'm going to wander around a bit and see if I can find any of our guys so we can have some entertainment. *Winking at them, he made his way through the throng and onto the dance floor.*

Aric Chase *he snorted, shaking his head at Brock before catching a glimpse of the blonde once again* I think, I, um, I'm going to check over here. *he twists his thumb in the direction legs went before disappearing into the crowd. He'd gotten about 3 paces before he felt an arm snake around him and a hand wrap around his junk, gripping softly. "See John, if I want to grab some dudes junk on a dance floor, I'm damn well gonna do it and you can't say shit about it anymore!" Was screeched next to him and chaos erupted around him as "John" is a 6'7" no necked, muscle bound, testosterone high, dumbass backed up by 4 matching roid buddies. He saw his night suddenly getting worse* mother fffuuucccc-

 

 Kade Maguire *Catching the collection of Champ's new "gang" members, he snorted out a quick laugh and jogged over to the scene" Amateurs. They never learn, do they, B? "Hope you feel good about yourself you little slut, because now I have to pound the little twerp into the ground for you touching him!" *Risking a glance at the angry pile of meat* Dude, let's just calm down here and take a step back for a moment. No one has to do any pounding *he paused and took another look at the mouth-breathing human* well, no men need to be doing any pounding … *It took all his effort to suppress his growl when one of the man's buddies grabbed his arm and yanked him away from the center, throwing a bitch-ass right hook that looked more like a drunken stumble* God, DAMN it. Why does this shit have to happen tonight?

 

 Brock Breed *Shaking my head as I weave through the crowd, muttering to myself* This is why we can't have nice things. *rushing over to Aric, whose eyes were starting to flash amber from anger and frustration, I whisper in a tone that only a Breed male could hear.* Champ, calm it down. We can't out ourselves in here. It would be mass panic and Lucan would have our asses. He'd have to buy more boots just to finish kicking us. *Turning my head away, I manage to turn it right into a powerhouse haymaker that one of the gorillas with "John" decided to throw.* Fuck me! Damn it!

 

 Hunter GenOne *Lucan had sent me out to see what kind of information I could pick up at the local hang outs. I truly hated these clubs. They were too noisy, too full of bodies. Just as I was on my way to check out a situation, I noticed Kade, Brock and Aric getting into a situation of their own. I took a deep breath and growled low in my chest. Fuck, this was going from bad to worse. I stepped in, grabbing one idiot's fist just as Brock's head snapped back and raised an eyebrow* You really want to be doing that Boy?

 

Corinne Bishop * When Hunter asked me if I wanted to go out tonight I got excited. I was thinking dancing, some dinner for me, some music.. Only after I got dressed did he tell me the real reason we were going out. Information gathering for Lucan. Hunter wanted me there as a cover, so to speak. I was a little hurt but then Hunter kissed me and whispered the most delightful, naughty things in my ear, things he would do to make it up to me. I said yes of course and once we were in the club and "acting" It was actually fun, until Hunter picked up on something , told me to stay put and disappeared in the crowd. I followed of course and what I saw...Two words. Bar fight.*

 

 Hunter GenOne *I swore under my breath when Corinne followed me. I told her to stay put, but right when I need her to stay safe, she decides not to listen. I crushed the fist I had just blocked and snarled. These little assholes were about to learn a lesson in manners. Kade, and Brock seemed to be holding their own but Aric seemed to be in trouble. I pulled one Neanderthal off Aric and slammed my own fist into his face, dropping him like a rock. Just as I was about to take another one down, I felt a hand pull me back*

 

 Corinne Bishop Hunter! You'll kill him! * I made sure my voice was loud, almost screaming. The other humans looked in my direction and I winked at them. It gave Aric and the others the advantage and I pulled on Hunters shirt to pull him back. I got a glare from my mate but, I gave him one right back and whispered.* Don't make me use my gift in here..

 

 Aric Chase *the immediate area paused as Corinne, a slip of a female, pulled Hunter, a giant of a Breed, away and stopped him instantly. He shook his head as He turned to survey the damage. Kade had one face down with his boot in the middle of the guys back. Kade smirked as the guy squirmed under his size 15's. Brock had his bent over in front of him with the roid's shoulder bent at an awkward angle. One man cowered on the floor, hugging his crushed fist to his chest, John, the one that had jumped Aric, was out cold. One of the bouncers pushed his way through the ring of onlookers, sputtering out orders and trying to look like he knew what he was doing* Easy does it big guy, the situation is under control.

 

 Kade Maguire *Turning to raise a brow at Brock* Just couldn't help but bend him over, could ya, B-Rock? *grinning at the Breed's middle finger, he released the fool beneath him to assist Champ with the "man in charge."* Ok, Cowboy, I want you to look deep into my sexy as fuck eyes and tell me how much you love me *giving a low chuckle, he wiped the bouncer's memories of the last few hours and anything having to do with the Breed* There you go, you big kitten *trying his best not to burst out laughing* Now go tell your boss you'll suck him off for a raise *Grinning at his mischief, he turned to his brothers in arms and nodded towards the door* Shall we?

 

 Brock Breed *flipping Kade off, I release the big ape, who was moaning in pain. Looking down I see a spreading puddle. Fucker pissed himself. Are you fucking kidding me?* Hang tight little buddy. Someone will be along soon to give you a fresh diaper change. *Popping his shoulder back into place, I howl with laughter as the puddle starts to spread.* Dudes, this crowd must be stoned as fuck - most of 'em are still dancing and paying no damn attention. *Dropping King Kong back down to his knees, turning to follow the rest of the motley crew back out to the cars.* Who wanted to fucking find the younguns in comprising situations and tape 'em? It'll be fun, they said. Entertaining, they said. Damn. Let's get the fuck out of this place.

 

 

 Hunter GenOne *I growled under my breath at the sorry state of the club and pulled Corinne in close to my side, my arm around her shoulders. She was the only one who could keep me from going bat shit crazy on every single male in this club.* Let's get going. I need to get Corinne out of this shit hole and home safe. *Kade, Brock and Aric followed us out of the club and out to the parking lot. I nodded at the three Breed before guiding Corinne to our car, holding the door open for her to get in before going around to the driver's side and getting in myself*

 

 Corinne Bishop Well, that was fun. * I tried not to laugh when Hunter turned his gaze on me. His eyes were already glowing amber and the way he gripped the steering wheel, it was amazing the thing didn't break.* Okay, I'm sorry I didn't stay put like you asked but, fighting with humans in a packed club is a bad idea, unless you are in danger and we both know you were not. Hunter relaxed a little but his eyes retained their amber glow. When he spoke to me his voice was thick. " I'll deal with the issue of you not listening when we get home, Cori." He winked and turned back to the road and now, I couldn't wait to get home.*

 

 Rafe Malebranche *I had just left the infirmary after helping my Mom with a few things and was heading through the hallways of the compound when I saw Kade, Brock and Aric stumbling in, cuts, scrapes and bruises showing on their faces and hands* What the hell did all of you get into now??? *They mumbled back at me and I just raised an eyebrow* It's a good thing Mom and I just restocked the infirmary. Let's go Gentlemen, I'll get y'all patched up in no time.

Rafe and Aric Blow Off Some Steam

Rafe Malebranche

*It had been a hellishly long night out on Patrol and damn if I wasn't feeling it. Aric, on the other hand, seemed fresher than a daisy, even though we'd both been out and dealt with the same shit. I choked on a growl as I pulled the car into the garage and parked it. Aric and I both got out and headed in to the compound* What the hell was with those rogues tonight? Is it just me or did they seem more...... well, more?

Aric Chase *He couldn't help but grin at Rafe as his frowned deepened* I don't know bro, he almost had you for a second there. Are you getting old for this game? Do we need to set you up behind a desk somewhere like they did to our parents? Uncle Dante and my old man never see any action anymore. Is that what we need to do with you bro? * He grinned wider as Rafe turned on him with a lethal snarl*

Rafe Malebranche *My snarl turned into a deep growl as I slammed Aric against the elevator wall* Getting old am I? You wanna take on 6 rogues next time while I take on the 3 you had to deal with? *I pulled back as the elevator got us to the right floor. The last thing I needed was for either of our mothers to see me so pissed. I'd have been in for it then. I barely held my anger in check as we headed out of the elevator*

Aric Chase *he chuckled again* yeah yeah, you da man.* their boots echoed cadence down the long empty hallway. His mind spun as they walked shoulder to shoulder. Rafe was his best friend. The one who had been there for him literally since the day he had been born. He couldn't remember one moment in his memories that didn't include Rafe. He could feel the turmoil rolling off his best friend. The adrenaline was still thick in his blood as well. He wasn't about to leave Rafe alone in the condition he was in. Not now.* Yo, bro. I'm definitely still pumped from that last little skirmish *he snorts* I think I'm going to head to the training room, want to keep me company?

Rafe Malebranche *I nodded, still too jacked up to form any kind of coherent conversation. A full on fight with that many rogues usually didn't have this effect on me. As frustrated as I was, I was glad Aric was with me. He knew me better than anyone, probably even my parents and he was the only one who really got what I was going through. We got to the training room and headed into the locker room to change into sweats* I swear...... those damned rogues need to stay down.

Aric Chase *they shuffled down the hall, every once in a while he would pop off some crack and give Rafe a shove. By the time they walked through the doors the amber was gone from his eyes and the frown had subsided.* that one was really crazy. You had to drop him three times. He just would not give up! I was about to jump in but you finally finished off the other one so I figured I'd enjoy the show, maybe learn something. *he laughed and clapped Rafe on the shoulders* So, I ordered these a while back but they just came in finally. * he pulls out his newest acquisition. Holding it over his head he throws back his head and roars, picturing a vision of himself in his head, before grinning at his partner* what do you think bro, ready to go a few rounds against me?

Rafe Malebranche *I raised an eyebrow at Aric and laughed, feeling a bit more relaxed.* Damn Bro.... You really didn't just go there. *I picked one up and spun it around, getting a feel for it's weight and balance. Then, just as Aric was getting into his stance, I swung my staff over my head and aimed it at him, just to see what his reaction would be*

Aric Chase *he was mid chuckle when he heard the swing. He didn't think, he just ducked* Oh, like that, is it? Ok Lil Italy, it's on. Like donkey kong! * he grinned and circled, getting in a few hits here and there as well as taking a few.* Bring it, Bitch! *he burst out laughing right as Rafe swept his feet from under him* Oooffff

Rafe Malebranche *I chuckled and took a step back* Lil Italy eh? *I circled around as Aric got back on his feet* Well Harvard Jr., let's see what you're made of! *We exchanged a few more hits, Aric landing a few lucky shots. It's a good thing we were both Breed and could take the force of the hits.* Getting lucky there HJ....

Aric Chase *He snorts, breathing heavily* yeah yeah. It's all skill, bro. Nothing but pure skill. * he touched his finger to his tongue then to his chest, making a sizzling sound.* you know you want to be just like me. * with a grin he swung quickly and dove to land beside Rafe who now lay on his back* Oh yeah. * he taps Rafe on his stomach with the pole before gaining his feet to begin again* Need some help up?

Rafe Malebranche *I lay there for a second, feeling just a little stunned by having the wind knocked out of me, then chuckled as I stood* Sheer luck...... That's all you got Bro!!! *We took a few last swings at each other before putting the staffs away. I hadn't realized how much I needed to just relax and laugh. I nudged Aric as we headed towards the showers* Thanks Bro. *Aric and I grinned at each other, knowing nothing else needed to be said. We both showered quickly, getting dressed with the same speed and heading out towards our quarters*

Mira and Rafe Work Out

Mira Nicholas-Archer 

*Pushing the door to the training center open and throwing my bag to the nearest bench. With it being my night off and with Kellan on patrol, I wanted to get a little work out done before my mate returned for the day. As I walk to the nearest treadmill, I noticed Rafe lifting weights across the gym* I know you can lift more than that, Rafe!

Rafe Malebranche *I grinned, not bothering to put the weights down, as I wanted to finish up the last few reps of chest presses* You'd better believe I can lift more than this, but I'm not looking to bulk up at the moment. Today's all about the reps and keeping what I got. *I chuckled as I put the weights away* Tonight your night off too eh?

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Sighing, I get on the treadmill and press start.* Yeah, Kellan's out with my dad...*giving Rafe a knowing look as I increase the speed* I know...I think Lucan lost a bit of his mind when he made tonight's schedule.

Rafe Malebranche *I chuckled as I got onto the treadmill next to Mira and got it going. A run would do me good too* Yeah. It's gotta be an age thing. The older we Breed get, the more of our minds we lose. *I warmed up quickly and got up to a fast jog* Honestly, I'm getting a bit sick of staying home. I could use a good fight out on the streets.

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Laughing as my speed increased* You that hungry to hunt rogues? Is Nathan being greedy when you guys go out on patrol? Do I need to kick him around a bit?

Rafe Malebranche *I laughed as I sped up too* Nah.... It's all good. Nathan's a good Breed to have out there on Patrol. It just seems like whenever we're out on the streets, the Rogues just disappear on us. It's almost like they know we're coming. Ya know?

Mira Nicholas-Archer *shrugging the best I could as I ran.* Or maybe you're just on the wrong team. *laughing, I hit the slow down button and hopped off the treadmill and wiped the sweat off my face* You want to hit some bags with me?

Rafe Malebranche *I laughed as I finished up my run* You know I've got the bet team out there. The rogues can sense that we're comin and just run away. *Grabbing a towel, I wiped the treadmill down and my own face and grinned* Sure. That sounds great.

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Sliding my purple gloves on, I pick a bag and begin my stance* We never seem to have problems catching rogues in the act...you just need to know where to look. *Punching the bag as I hop on the balls on my feet*

Rafe Malebranche *Getting on a pair of gloves, and picked a bag close to Mira, bouncing on the balls of my feet a few times to loosen up before throwing a few punches* There's that too. Guess we've just picked the wrong parts of town. I should talk to the team, see if we need to concentrate on the seedier parts of town.

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Chuckling, I pause* That might help...the seedier side is always a lot more fun. *winking, I start back up on the bag* They like to feed on the women walking alone on the street...which pisses me off. *emphasizing the last word with a harder punch.*

Rafe Malebranche *I nodded and growled as I punched the bag hard enough to send it swinging into a wide arc* Yeah...... Rogues need to learn to fuck the hell off. No one, especially not a woman should worry about walking anywhere. *I took a deep breath and gave one final punch, and nearly split the bag open.* The Rogues gotta learn to stay the fuck down.

Mira Nicholas-Archer Bit of pent up anger there, Rafe? * Chuckling, I settle the bag and wipe my brow and grab my water* You are a lot like your father sometimes. *taking a drink* It's a little creepy

Rafe Malebranche Yeah, just a bit. *I took a deep and took the gloves off.* I know I can be like Dad. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Anyway, I should head back. I need to shower and go talk to Mom about something. Thanks for the workout
