<strong>Name:</strong>Aqualad (Kaldur'ahm)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Meeting Room----->Training Room----->Communications Room<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Open/All<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Sunday------>Sunday night<br/><hr/><br/>Aqualad reacted just as Nightwing and Supergirl seemed to. His arm crackled with electricity as he was about to let loose a powerful bolt just as Midnight Tiger disappeared in a flash of red fire. He lowered his water bearers as Nightwings' wingding embedded itself into the wall.<br/><br/><em>Damn it</em><br/><br/>Aqualad was sure he heard Raven say the name Beilial. Kal cursed himself for letting his guard down. He let his guard down when he allowed Midnight Tiger to go unquestioned after sneaking in. He watched as Raven walked out in a hurry. He nodded as Zatanna told him to call her if something else happened. But he was busy beating himself up as he walked to the elevator. Pressing the button to take himself to the training room he needed time alone.<br/><br/>As he stepped out into the training room he cursed at himself.<br/><br/><em>I should have been better</em><br/><br/><br/>With that said he spent the rest of the day training. Starting with the basics, push ups, sit ups, pull ups, clapping push ups, Squats, leg raises. Then it was testing his strength with weights and his endurance with continuous laps around the room. all the while Kal was thinking about how his friends could have been hurt or worse. He had assumed too much and if could have cost them dearly. He should have kept an open eye Nightwing and Raven couldn't be expected to handle everything that comes at the team they were busy with the tasks and difficulties of leadership they needed a hand every now and then. It didn't matter that Midnight Tiger was approved by Cyborg people made mistakes all the time, it happens. Something had been off with everything about the guy yet Kal still gave him the benefit of the doubt it was an occasion where his positive outlook on life and his willingness to believe in the best of people, could have lead him blindly into danger.<br/><br/><em>More..gotta do more......<br/><br/>better...gotta be better...</em><br/><br/>More weights, more laps<br/><br/>He was tired and aching yet he didn't let up. After taking a small break he started up again. He wasn't going to change his outlook but he was going to punish himself for letting his guard down.<br/><br/>Training dummies, attacks from various angles.<br/><br/>Then it was shadow boxing with the use of his powers. He imagined his opponent in his mind an opponent always several steps ahead of him as every attack, counter and block evaded by the slippery imaginary enemy. As each physical attack flowed flawlessly into the next he told himself each time it was not enough.<br/><br/><em>No..faster...<br/><br/>....quicker...sharper...<br/><br/>eliminate useless movements... <br/><br/>.....be like water....adapt..change...flow seamlessly....<br/><br/></em><br/><br/>As he jumped up intending to smash his knee into his imaginary opponent's face he grabbed his water bearers as his opponent "Dodged" and let out a blast of water that slammed against the wall taking control of the water he formed it into a ball hardening it and then bringing down hard onto the reinforced training floor. Parting the massive water ball with his hands he shaped the water into many rods and had them rush at him as he lunged forward. As he dodged the first few he but then his left leg gave out and the next three slammed into him with impressive force, breaking his concentration causing the water to just fall to the floor as he stumbled onto all fours sweat dripping off of him. As he was there on all fours gasping for breath he shakily stood up. With a wave of his hand he made the water follow him to the shower room where he let it fall into the drain as he peeled his suit off of him. It was late he knew. He was sore, exhausted and it was then he remembered that he didn't tell the team about what he saw. Shaking his head as he took a shower he guessed he would tell them some other time. It seemed like everyone needed a break for right now.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Feeling hungry Kal was drying himself as he put on a new clean suit. Think of making a whopper of a sandwich the likes to make Cyborg jealous he was on his way when he thought he heard music coming from the game room. Curious to know who was making so much noise right then he poked his head into the game room where he saw Static jamming out and downloading some games.<br/><br/><em>Well...there's no beastboy or Cyborg for a rival of video games...  </em><br/><br/>Clearing his throat and shouting to be heard over the music "Static! 10 bucks says I annihilate you on any fighting game you choose!" Smiling confidently and thinking back on how he used to play with either beast boy or Cyborg in the old days.
