Crystallization

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana had a training meeting with Joseph Enders. A Bellefonte trainer with the power of Crystal Growth. Yes, she had looked into him like she had done with pretty much all the staff, especially those that were trainer and recruiters for the school. She also looked into those who had any form of special training or did any time in the armed services. She knew a lot about Mr. Enders from what the school had on him and a little bit more past that. He was not one of her targets but she still took an interest in him because he had a power similar to hers. That was why she had chosen him, went to him and asked for him to be her trainer. Sure she was going to be a college student. Sure she had an amazing amount of control over her power that she could graduate and do her own things if she wanted. She even had the physical training and didn't really need a trainer at all. She had one back at her old school and passed that phase of her life.

Still, she wanted one. She wanted to still train to keep her skills sharp or at least from dulling since she was not using all of them on this kind of job. She had already talked to Mr. Enders before. He told her what to show up in and even provided her with everything. She waited a little to be right on time to show up to the training room she had been told to meet him at. She had no clue how things were going to go. She had on black boots, black cargo pants, and black compression shirt. She even brought along the MMA gloves, and mouth guard. She was not sure why he picked all of this and why it had to be black, but she had no complaints. She actually liked it and all the black just made her white hair stands out all the more. "Mr. Enders. I'm here." Roxana said after she knocked on the door and entered the training room. Eyes already scanning around the room to spot her trainer.

[Joseph Enders]

To say it had taken Enders awhile to set the room up that he now stood in would be an understatement. A solid week for him to coat the entire floor in the small micro crystals that now sparkled across it. His new student had powers similar to his own and over the week he mused about lineages and genetic randomness that these two could be so close but focus on different aspects of the same ability, Enders quantity and Strix quality. Hearing a knock on the door his attention snapped to it and as the young white haired woman walked in Enders stood similarly dressed on the opposite side of the room. Arms folded across the weighted MOLLE vest he wore, the only difference in their outfits, Enders eyebrows furrowed for a moment as she called him Mr. Enders. It made him feel exceptionally old and a smile spread onto his face as he chuckled slightly at the notion.

“Please Roxana, your not in high school anymore just call me Joe.” Enders spoke as he unfolded his arms and stepped towards her extending a hand out to her. As these kids grew up and moved into adult hood Enders was a firm believer in treating them as such, at the age of 18 he had been thrust into war zones he wasn’t going to belittle someone who had just come to him for a little help pushing past their limits. The Marine trainer had gotten a basic overview of her abilities but he had to see it for himself along with what else she could do.

“Alright, you ready kid?” Enders said as he turned and walked away from his new student. Stopping about 10 feet from her he turned around and slid into his fighting stance right foot sliding back so his body angled away from Strix. His hand came up to the right hand back slightly.

“Let’s see what you can do...” As the crystal manipulator finished speaking his eyes suddenly lit up in blue light as crystals erupted out of all the bare skin on his hands and forearms forming a layer leaving only the padding of his gloves exposed. She said to not go easy on him so Enders would push her. He knew what had held him back with his unlocking his powers in high school, it was time to find out hers.

When Roxana went into the room she was surprised, like actually surprised at the state of the training room. Surprises were never a good thing in her experience and while she was impressed she was that much more on her guard. A room covered in crystals would benefit her as well as her trainer. It certainly was going to an interesting training session and a small smile appeared on Rox's face for a moment. Her eyes first scanned around the room, taking in the site of it all and knowing that it would take two hands to control this already created. She also was starting to wonder just how long such a structure would last and if it would get in the way of someone else training in this room. None of that was really any of her concern so her eyes instead focused on look over her trainer. He was wearing pretty much what she was wearing with some small difference here and there but nothing that was of concern to the young body guard.

Roxana raised an eyebrow at Joseph's words about not calling him Mr. Enders. She could not really help but to feel a little odd about calling someone older then her by their proper titles but if it was what he wanted, she figured she have to at least try. "Will Sir work for now while I work on just calling you Joe?" Roxana asked in a simple tone as she looked at the older man. It would take her at least a little bit before she would be fine with just calling him Jo, it just went against everything that she knew. She adjusted her gloves a little, planning on possibly removing them fully later since they would get in the way of her using her ability at its full potential, but for now she kept them on.

Roxana could not help but to chuckle a little as she rolled her shoulders and got herself at least fully ready. She was always ready...well for the most part she tended to be ready for anything and this time was no different. She was not fully sure what 'Joe' had in mind for her, but she figured it would at least not disappoint. "You tell me to call you Joe, yet you call me a kid?" Roxana asked with a small smirk on her face as she shifted her stance when Joe switched up his stance as well. Reading his body language it looked like they were going to get right to the fighting and Roxana had no problem with that. "You got is, Sir." Roxana responded as she surged forward at her trainer when she saw him start to layer himself up with crystal.

Well this should not be too hard. Roxana thought as her mind already started to form a strategy, moving first to swing a kick to Joe's rib cage. All the while aiming a punch to his jaw, just going with not using her power at this very moment.
