Take a Bow

Tag: Casper & Jasper Emory

Esme had heard about the "wonder twins", and that didn't necessarily mean that she had heard good things. Regardless of that, Esme found their power interesting, and well, she was curious to find out more about it. Despite their somewhat troublesome reputation, she figured the twins were smart enough not to actually hit on a staff member. Esme wasn't too sure how comfortable she would feel being put in that kind of situation.

Then again, she had been in the army. She knew all too well how to deal with bothersome men, and if the twins went over the line, she could always issue them with a warning and detention.

Leaning against the wall close to the entrance of the training field, Esme pursed her lips as she crossed her arms over her chest. She was wearing a pair of comfortable pants (black of course) and a white tank top. Her hair was the usual, shaved on one side and hanging loose on the other. Her blue eyes was dully studying the sky up above. She was early, as she always was. She liked having good time to set everything up.

She had reserved a good portion of the training field and put fences around the part they were going to use to avoid anyone interrupting them. Inside the fenced area, Esme had put several "challenges" that would fit the twins from what she had read of their power. Now that everything was ready to go, all she had to do was wait for her students to arrive. Hopefully she wouldn't find herself regretting taking up on these two.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

If the siblings knew they were being called the wonder twins, they would have put a stop to it immediately. Sure the wonder twins had a touch of flare to it but it was so lame and they already had a title of which they went bay. Ghost Boys. There were other nicknames too, but that what their show name and it was the name they would have liked to been called by the masses if people were in fact talking about them. Of course, why would people not be talking about them? They were both hot twins, which were really tall and attractive. Plus again they were twins so double the eye candy as some would say.

Either way, they had gotten word that they were getting a new trainer and had been schedule for a training session. Being the sort of good boys that they were, they headed that way while chatting about what they had heard about the new trainers. "I heard we got two hot babes now. Think we will get them both as a trainer?" Jasper asked his brother, already getting excited about it as they walked. "Doubt it, but it would be wise of them too. The last one could not handle the both of us." Casper responded back to his brother would was smirking. "I know I wanted to handle them, but they were such a good staff member that didn't want to fool around with a student." Jasper replied back to his brother.

The two arriving in no time to the field they were told to head to for training, already spotting the woman in the distance thanks to one aspect of their power. The siblings both let out a whistle. "A ten for sure." The siblings said in unison as they walked over, still a few steps away from the trainer but if she had good hearing she would hear them. The brother didn't even try to hide that they were looking her up, down, and sideways. Casper as least jabbed his brother when he caught on they were staring to long. "Are you Miss Adler? I'm Casper and this is my brother Jasper." Casper spoke up, pointing to who was who as he introduced them. "Let me just say, you are working that hair style." Jasper said, giving her a wink.

Turning as the twins approached, Esme remained quiet while the two of them introduced themselves, paying no attention to the way they were checking her out. Not because she didn't care, but because this was hardly the place for it. As long as they didn't make anything of it, they could look all they wanted. After all, it wasn't Esme's job to teach the boys manners; her job was to teach them how to control their powers and be the best they could be. "Mr and Mr Emory," she greeted them, nodding in both of their directions. Turning towards the one paying her the compliment, Esme simply nodded again. "I appreciate it, but let's focus on the task at hand, hm?"

Walking out towards the various setups, Esme spread her arms. "As you can see, I've put up some gear where you guys can use your powers, and to make it easier for me to keep track of each of you as an individual, we'll start off by doing the tasks one by one," she said, turned her head to look at the twins to make sure they were paying attention. "If you have any questions during this lesson, feel free to ask, but please, I expect that you guys take this as seriously as I will; I do not like to waste my time."

Gesturing towards some weighs in various sizes, Esme continued, "These are to test your physical strength. First, I want to see how much you can lift at this current time, and then as our sessions continue, I will teach you to lift more." Gesturing towards the track are, she nodded. "That is for testing your speed. I will be using a stopwatch, so there will be no racing," she added, and once again turned to look at the twins. "Later, we will go to the pool and see how long your stamina allow you to swim back and forth. We'll also be testing your senses, but we'll save that for a later time." She pursed her lips and folded her hands across her chest.

"The point of having you go one by one is to make sure this doesn't turn into a competition. The second one of you start fooling around, you're out." And she wasn't kidding about that either. "I will see if your powers are as identical as the two of you are, and if they aren't, I will work with you individually to enhance what one of you might lack. Now. Before we start; any questions?"

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"Call us by our first names then at least. Or Ghost Boys. We would be fine being called by that." Jasper spoke up after she said their names. Being called Mr. Emory was just confusing, especially because there were two of them. Not like they really stuck to only letting one twin talk to someone, unless they were in a bad mood. They were currently in a great mood; they had a smoking hot trainer. Now the question was how long she was going to last dealing with the Emory Twins before giving up or scolding them for being too forward. The already started their mental clocks to see just how long she could make it. Letting the whole 'let’s focus' bit slide.

The brothers watched her; closely, as she walked over and gestured to the different things she had set up to test out their powers. The siblings were not even trying to hide that they were leaning to the side a little to get a nice view of their trainer’s rear end as she walked. "Think she would be good at giving a lap dance?" Jasper whisper to his brother. "It does have a nice roundness about it, but she does not seem to be the type to do that sort of thing." Casper whispered back. They did at least refocus as she started to point out what she had in store for them. Jasper could not help and make a face at what he understood as her testing them one at a time.

She did understand that they had to be a certain distance from one another in order to even use their power and the closer they were to one another the better they were, right? Casper was already raising his hand to point this out to the woman. Unless she knew that and wanted to test just how far they could use their power and how the distance affect their capabilities. They didn't know, they had gotten distracted by her body a few times there while she was talking. "We both understand what you want us to do, but I'm not sure if you are aware that we have to be close to one another in order to use our power to our full potential. Unless you wanted to see what we could do alone at a certain distance from one another." Casper pointed out, trying to at least be polite as he said it.

"Our stamina can last a long time, if you catch my drift." Jasper added, speaking under his breath as he looked away. He and his brother did both start to snicker after those words. Casper did clear his throat after, trying to behave. She then pointed out more things that they would be doing that the siblings heard but were still slightly distracted. Then they were asked if they had any questions. "Can we have your number?" The siblings asked at the same time, smirking. "You know, in case we have a question about our power when we are not training." Casper added. "And so we can call you on your free hours." Jasper said after his brother, under his breath again.

[Deleted]

"Jasper and Casper it is, then," she replied with a shrug. She didn't really care either way. Whatever they felt the most comfortable with. She had to remind herself that this wasn't the military and this wasn't boot camp. She didn't have to go so hard on the kids. Well, easier said then done, right?

Of course Esme noticed that the boys weren't entirely focused, but at the end of the day, it was entirely up to them to take their education seriously. If they didn't want to learn and rather spend the time looking at her ass, so be it. It was their problem. She had at the very least tried, as well as having been warned about the boys' lack of focus and flirtatious manners. Ah, but boys would be boys.

"I do," she said, turning to face them. "And the time for that to happen will come, but right now, I want to see what you can do individually." She pursed her lips as she turned back to look at the masterpiece of a training session she had created. Cocky? Perhaps. But not without reason. This was what Esme did for a living. This was what she'd spent the past couple of years doing, and this was what she lived for. "Like I already said," she added, shooting the boys a strict gaze.

"Mhm, the time to prove that will come, I assure you. In the pool." The last part was added with a slightly harsher tone. She could already feel herself growing more and more impatient with these boys and she really hoped they would start taking this seriously before she had to throw them both out on their asses for someone else to pick up. "No, you cannot," she replied, turning to look at them once more. "My staff email can be found on the school's website and you can and will use that if you need to get in touch with me. Or you can always visit my office. During my office hours." Again, the last part was added with a harsher, no-bullshit tone.

"Now, before we start; Please don't take my words lightly. I will throw you out on your asses if you don't start taking this class seriously. I have no time to waste on people who are not worth my time, and I also have no time for people that are too lazy for their own good." She tilted her head back. "Jasper, go stand by the entrance to the fence, and Casper, go over to the weighs and start lifting them, from the lightest to the heaviest, one by one. Make sure to bend your knees and lift with your feet."

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

She was okay by calling them by their first names, and that worked for the brothers. They were already planning on doing a switch up. Would she even know the difference between them? Not likely, many people didn't. They didn't know of her power however so were not sure if they could play that game with her right away. That didn't mean they were not thinking about it and the likely hood that they would do it was very high. She was then pointing out that she did in fact know that their power worked together but she wanted to see how they were apart.

"One on one time, in other words." Jasper whispered to his brother, the two of them snickering a little and trying to cover it up with a cough. She gave a strict gaze, which did have the brother hushing up for the moment and standing at attention as if they were solders. She heard their words and repeated herself, putting emphasis on the fact that it would be done in the pool. Not in the bedroom in other words, yet. The brother were practically having the same thought, probably worded a little differently but communicating the same message.

The siblings shared a glance with one another as she pointed out that they could use her staff email and come see her during her work hours. She really was a miss no-nonsense type. Those types bored the siblings, but she was an adult and thus it was to be expected and thus they would give her more of a chance. There was a mini speech there. One that was about how she was not fooling around and would be done with them if they didn't take it seriously or were lazy. The siblings didn't plan on being lazy but they didn't really take too much seriously if it was not magic related. Or related to getting laid. "One." The siblings said together as they each held up their pointed finger.

They did as they were told, going to the places that she told them to. They were tempted to play the switch up, but figured they save that for later. Casper went over to the weights and started to stretch out a little, picking up the weights from the lightest and then moving to work his way down. Jasper did a slight jog over to where she wanted him on the track and started to stretch out a little too. Even pulling out his inhaler and taking a quick puff so he would not have to worry about doing it later, even if he still would. "Test me first, teach. I like to show off my speed for you." Jasper spoke up winking at her.

[Deleted]

Keeping her eyes on Casper as he lifted the weighs, Esme didn't even bother turning around as she heard the other brother speak. "You'll have your turn in time," she simply replied. Once again, she took no notice of the wink. In fact, she'd rather pretend it hadn't happened at all. It was actually rather selfish and disrespectful of the boy to continue his boyish manners, but for now, Esme didn't care.

Once Casper had finished lifting the weighs, Esme snapped her fingers. "Switch places," she called out, waving Jasper over. At least nothing incredibly unexpected happened during the weigh lifting. At least, nothing the trainer hadn't counted with. Even with this distance between them, the boys seemed to handle themselves fairly well.

The power the two of them shared could potentially be dangerous, but at least the boys seemed to handle themselves well enough. "At what speed can you guys run?" she asked then, curiously tilting her head as an idea struck her mind. "Miles per hour?" She remembered reading something about that in their folder, but couldn't remember the exact number.

It could prove to be quite interesting actually, shifting and see if they could outrun her. Maybe that would give the boys something to focus on. Maybe all the boys needed was a little jolt to their pride and some good competition.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"Awww, boo. I need attention. I don't do so good being ignored." Jasper said as he was told that it would be his turn later. She didn't even look at him, how boring. "He is telling the truth, about how he is not good at being ignored." Casper pointed out. He knew his brother and Jasper really didn't like being ignored. He was okay letting his brother having attention but if he talked to someone he wanted them to acknowledge him on some level at least. The siblings still did as they were told however, lifting weights, and the like without any issue. It was easy enough since they tried to at least work out daily.

They basically had to with how their power would cause them to have sudden burst of energy. The siblings exchanged a glance at the whole finger snap and the order to switch places. The still obeyed what they were told but they held up two fingers each now. "Two." The siblings said to one another as they passed each other to switch up what they were doing. That went over pretty well too without any real surprise. It was just a simple workout to them and they were not sure what her big plan was for them. Then there was a question that had the brothers both stopping to think for a moment as they tried to remember. "When we are next to one another we can reach up to 25 mph for our top speed." Casper informed her.

"We can reach that top speed in under a minute, and keep at that speed for a minute and a half before we have to slow down." Jasper added, feeling smart that he knew about their power. They both understood their power very well. They tested several things out themselves to get a better understanding of what they could do together and apart.

"Then he'll have to wait his turn," she replied without skipping a beat. She wasn't here to nurse their ego. If he threw a fit for not being looked at, she wouldn't hesitate with throwing him out on his ass. Honestly, these boys seemed more like two spoiled rich kids than... Whatever it was that she had read in their file. Something about a circus, or something. Well, clearly they were used to being the center of attention.

Esme didn't even bother asking why they were counting. She figured it wasn't all that important, and even if it was, the two of them wouldn't actually try anything on a teacher. And if they did, she could always just shift, and voila. She doubted the two of them would fare well against a full grown tiger or lioness. At least, not before the shock had settled. "Alright," she said, nodding at their words. "Go to the track field," she then ordered and started moving towards it.

Taking off her leather jacket, Esme tossed it at the ground as she walked to one of the stands with the gears and pulled out a blanket. Folding it over her arm, she continued towards the track field. Once she reached it, she pulled the blanket over her shoulders, making sure it covered her entire body as she started pulling off her pants and singlet. "We're going to race. You two, against me," she informed them without as much as casting a glance in their direction. Kneeling down, she folded her clothes nicely and rolled her shoulders. She then waited for the boys to get into position.

It started with the cracking sounds coming from her bones, and then the odd movements. Her limbs started shifting and moving underneath the blanket, but her expression remained completely stoic despite the pain. There was sound of skin tearing and bones breaking, shifting, moving... Bending over, she quickly dropped to all four, focusing on the shift as she pressed her lips together. Her skin started turning black, and quickly turning from skin to a black, shiny fur-like coat. She had opted for a black panther, because their speed was the closest to that of the twins, reaching up to 30-35 mph.

Standing before the boys now, was a sleek looking black panther with piercing, ice blue eyes. Esme shrugged off the blanket and turned her fur coated head to look at the twins, her tail swagging slowly in the air.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"Booooo!" Jasper yelled back at hearing that he had to wait his turn. The siblings did act like they were spoiled rich kids when they were far from it. They were orphans and then grew up in the circus where they had to work hard to get the spotlight. They were practically engraved to seek out attention so it showed up when they dealt with other people. Jasper was just still bad at adjusting completely to life away from the circus. He missed when eyes would be on he and his brother and people would be amazed at what they did. Here, everyone was a freak and had a mutation that made them special, while the twins had a natural talent...and well a power too.

She accepted their response and then told them both to go the track and field. The siblings shared another glance at one another but did as they were told. They moved to stand next to one another and got ready to do whatever it was she told them to do. They were actually pretty good at following orders since they had to when it came to obeying the ring master and cerography for a routine. A person just had to command respect and not look so sexy. If she was older looking and not so hot, then they were sure they would have behaved, but with how she looked. She was basically begging for them to not be good boys.

"A race? Against us?" The siblings asked at the same time as they watched as she picked up a blanket and headed over towards them. Did she have some kind of super speed that was activated by that blanket or something? She was then...was she stripping?! Okay, now the boys could feel their blood pumping and Jasper even got down on the ground as if he was about to do some pushups but really he was trying to get a peek under the blanket. "Dude, best trainer ever!" Jasper yelled, thinking they were about to have some real fun. "I'm not sure how well I can race, currently." Casper muttered out as she turned to the side a little.

Then the big surprise was that their hot trainer was now a black panther, which still looked pretty hot. Not in a sexual way, but in a badass cool kind of way. Her eyes were beautiful, almost as nice as their eyes. Almost. "Mmm...I do like my cat girls. Ready when you are, teach." Jasper said, licking his lips a little. Casper just faced away, just trying to calm down now because this was just too much excitement.

[Deleted]

Walking over to the start line, Esme had to hold herself to avoid rolling her eyes. God, she really didn't miss being in high school. She had never been one for the sexual hysteria most kids seemed to go through, but this was just... Sad. Very, very sad to behold. Luckily, she couldn't talk to them, so speaking up wasn't an option. Placing herself right next to the brothers, Esme rolled her shoulder and bent forward, getting ready to leap forward.

Growling lightly, Esme waited for the twins to get in position. Holding up her paw, she moved it around, as if she was counting. 1. 2. 3, and then she used her paw as if to gesture that they were supposed to run on that count. She waited a moment, watching to see if they understood what she meant. When it seemed like they had gotten the memo, she repeated the process.

On the count of three, Esme moved forward, almost smiling to herself at the sensation of the track field underneath her paws. She could feel the wind in her fur and her speed improved significantly as she moved forward. The boys wouldn't win, but at least they should -- hopefully -- at the very least be able to keep somewhat up. She could feel the muscles in her body; it felt nice. She loved being in her large cat forms. She could feel the panther's, or black leopard's agile form do her bidding and react to her every command.

It made her feel free, and it was quite the amazing feeling.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The twins were still pretty excited because he totally stripped in front of them. Sure she had a blanket covering everything, but she still stripped in front of them. That counted, right? No, it didn't and they understood it but they could at least fantasize. Like they were currently fantasizing about rolling around on their field with their trainer and using that blanket to wrap themselves up. Ah, fantasies were so nice and the only bad part about them was they were not real and they were also a distraction.

It was the growl that brought the boys out of their fantasy world and looking to where Esme was. They quickly moved to be at the start line with her, stretching out a little more as they got ready to run. They were using to raising one another and occasionally running after people they were about to beat up or wanted to trap somewhere. They had not however raced again a trainer that was a cat. Excuse them; not a cat but a black panther, a large cat with a whole scientific name that they didn't know. She was doing something with her power that had the brother looking at one another confused. "What is she doing?" Jasper asked his older twin.

"I think...she is showing us how to uh...one, two, three? Oh I think she is showing us how she is going to count down for the race." Casper explained to his brother as he watched what their trainer was doing for a moment before it clicked. Not being able to verbally communicate was going to be a challenge but so far they worked through it. They got into position to race, right next to one another so they could tap into the full position of their power. Once she gave the signal and they got to three, the siblings were running ahead. They gave it all they got, reaching their top speed at the basic time they said they could.

Damn, she is fast. The twins thought, unable to speak when they were running at the speed they currently were. She was faster than them and thus ahead of them and it was just such an odd thing to see that they were losing. They pushed themselves as best as they could to at least keep up but there was no way that they could win. They were going to be hurting after this.

[Deleted]

When Esme reached the end of the line, she turned around and started trotting back towards where they had started, once again passing the twins by. Once she did, she simply bowed her head in greeting. She had already known that the twins wouldn't be able to catch up with her, but it was still satisfying to give them something to work for.

Once she reached the start line, the blonde went straight for her blanket, spending a few minutes covering her body with it before she started on shifting back into her human form. Again, it was painful, and again, she could feel her bones break, shift and move. The black fur was replaced by her own pale skin and paws turned into hands and feet as she slowly regained her human form.

Pulling the blanket further around her body, she started dressing again. First, pulling her pants on and then continued with her shirt. As she finished, she wrapped the blanket up and hung it off of her arm as she walked towards where she had tossed her jacket, in complete and utter silence. It wasn't until she had picked up her jacket that Esme turned to see if the twins had come back yet, offering them nothing but a stoic expression.

"I suppose that was alright done of you. But," she drawled, hugging the blanket to her chest. "You could do much better. I suggest spending at least two days a week running on the training field to better both your stamina and your speed." She pointed towards the track field. "You will do that for a few weeks, and then we'll up the number by three times a week, and then four, and then five..." They probably got the picture. "The same thing goes for lifting weights, though those can be found around the gymnasium. Lift weighs once a week and then do various exercises to hone your skills... Every morning, and every evening. Grips, squats, push-ups..."

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

They had lost, something that they didn't particularity enjoys but no matter how hard they had tried to catch her, she was just too fast. Now they were hurting and trying to get their breathing back under control. The inhalers helped but they were doing a little bit of wheezing for a moment as they closed their eyes and worked on getting their breathing back under control. They were so trying to watch as Esme walked off and was so shifting back under that blanket.

That evil blanket that covered everything beautiful about woman as she got changed. They wanted to move to get a better look but they were not able to move anywhere at the moment. "She is practically torturing us." Jasper pointed out, mainly referring to the fact that she was hot and a shifter. Her power was practically telling them that they had to at least see her naked at least once. Why did they keep running into the uptight girls? Where there none out there that just wanted to have fun. To make a mistake and wake up regretting it a little bit but security enjoying it and possibly wanting it to happen again. Was that such a hard expectation to have of at least one female?

Why were the guys easier to get worked up then the girl? They all had to be lesbians. "I just wanted to see a little more skin. At least a side boob. I would be happy to see a side boob." Casper said back to his brother who did nod in agreement. Jasper wanted to see more then that but he could be at least a little satisfied if he saw some side boob. She was then coming over to them and saying that they did alright but could have been better. "We only had our powers for a few months." Jasper muttered out, feeling bitter about not being praised. Not that he was not used to it, but it always sucked to be told you were not there yet. It did make them want to work harder.

"Wow, that’s a lot. Well, not really but seems like it when you tell us to do it. Are you going to be joining us for any of those workouts?" Casper spoke up and then asked. He didn't mind doing that entire but was she at least going to work with them on it. Where they going to get a chance to see some side boob? Did Mel understand how Raku was shaking her head at how many times the words side boob was typed? So many questions.

Lifting her hand, Esme tapped her chin absentmindedly. "I'm not scolding you," she informed the twin talking. "I'm stating the facts. If you want a trainer that coddles you instead of being brutally honest, you should march down to the receptionist right now and ask them to change your trainer." She was in no way going to baby the boys. She told them exactly what they needed to hear; the truth. "You are and will not be treated like special needs children here."

Shifting, Esme put her hands into her pockets and pursed her lips. "No, these are tasks that will happen outside of our training sessions," she said. "I will only be with you and guide you during our assigned sessions, such as today." Walking over to the stands containing the necessarily items for the session, Esme put the blanket back in its rightful position. She turned to look at the boys for a moment, before sighing.

"I do not doubt that the two of you will come a long way, but you have much to learn, and the sooner you start, the better it will be. You have a lot of potential, and the more time you guys waste not training, the more you're wasting that potential." She tilted her head somewhat to the side. She wondered if they would be up to the task. She didn't doubt that they could, as long as they put their mind to it. It was a matter of motivation, rather than anything else. "Now, the question that remains is... Are you willing to put all this effort into becoming better and more skilled? If not, you might as well give up now."
