Fountain of Trouble

[Rachel Nash]

”Alright Rach. So,” She looked around and put her hands on her hips, ”This looks really bad. Like,” She lifted one foot out of the water for a second before putting it back down ”Really bad.”

Although while the situation looked bad, Rachel still didn’t have a clue what had happened in the first place. She’d gone for a swim in the pool and then returned to the locker room to take a shower and get dressed. However the first signs of something going wrong had been the water leaking out from the shower area. Once explored, she’d found that multiple shower heads had been broken off and were now spouting water into the room. From what she could tell, the drains in the floor obviously weren’t equipped to get rid of this must water fast enough. Which rest the room relatively flooded and steamy. She’d tried shutting off the valves but nothing was working.

”Had to have been some hydrokinetic’s power going out of wack.”

It was the only explanation Rachel could think of; that or she figured it was someone with a particular grudge against shower heads. She couldn’t help but snicker at the thought, but it cut off abruptly when she slipped and landed on her rear.

”Yow! Stupid slippery floors.” She grumbled while rubbing her wounded behind. ”Although,” She added, stretching the word out thoughtfully, ”This would be fun to slip and slide around in. It’s not scalding hot or freezing cold.”

However Rachel’s thoughts were cut off once she realized she wasn’t exactly alone to witness the mess. Her head snapped over towards the intruder and Rachel realized how bad things looked. She raised her hands placatingly and put on a hopefully innocent smile.

”Wait! Before you say anything; I swear I found it like this!”
