Lazy Days (Open.)

[Cole Kessler]

Ah, hell, Cole He yelled at himself inside his head. The boy had just told him to 'shut it' and Cole wasn't one to take that lightly. His sly grin took on a more evil twist as he returned Jalen's glance. He stood up and lit another cigarette. He sucked in a long first drag as Jalen got her word in on the matter.

"You come out and disrupt a lady's peace? You insult and degrade her in front of open company of one of her friends? Then you get mad when your advances get shot down and you're suggested to leave?" Cole said as he blew out the smoke of his red. He wanted to give the guy a good shot to the jaw, but he knew the boy's power. That and he didn't want to get in trouble again. The last time he'd fought his best friend, though fights always had a way of bringing out Cole's best.

"If that's the best you can do it's no wonder you can't pick any girls up. Lemme gues, you go to the club, I know which one, I've seen you there, and you lay your best line on a girl to start off." Cole asked sarcastically, possibly making it up as he went along... But, hey, that was Cole, "Then when she shoots that down, you find something about her to strike up the conversation and swing at the second pitch. Let's see, uhm, Tattoos? Yeah, don't bother asking women about tattoos in a club. Maybe in a bar, sure, but not a club, man. They wanna dance and have fun not talk about some mark they got four, five year ago."

Cole was just talking away as he lit another cigarette and stopped himself. "Ya'know what?" Cole asked firmly as he took a step forward, "I ain't gonna go through it all. Why? Because I haven't the willpower to make myself indulge you." Cole stepped forward more, channeling his power just as Braxton was doing. The small electric discharges around him gave proof to that. His eyes pooled together a mixture of blue, silver, and white. Standing face-to-face with Braxton wasn't enough, Cole wanted to make his point be heard. He pressed his forehead hard into Braxton's, not caring if it hurt either of them or not. He outstretched his arm and pointed his finger toward the road behind the boy, "Turn around and walk away...., bruh." Cole said mockingly, "Ain't gonna be a fight here today."

[Braxton Carson]

"Tattoos? What are you talking about, penis-face?" Braxton continued to smoke as if he were relaxed. When Cole stepped forward, however, and pushed his forehead towards Braxton's, he took a step back, being caught surprised by the awkward movement, since he was expecting something like a punch or kick. "What are you gay? Why are you trying to kiss me? Why don't you go away?"

Cole and Jalen weren't paying much attention to Braxton, something unwise, he would say. Perhaps he had to make himself clear, after all, he didn't have the physical build to intimidate anyone, but hey, he was metahuman, and normal human rules didn't apply, at least in Braxton's mind, everybody should fear him with his power, specially with the good control he has of it. It wasn't like he was planning on killing the guy or anything, he wasn't really that mad, he was just intending to get the respect he feels he deserved, something neither Jalen nor Cole was giving him, and if he had to get out of there with a purple eye, or slightly electrocuted apparently, as long as Cole got out worse, or plainly left before anything, he was going to be happy about it.

So, he had a small idea, and taking a quick glance at the pong, with the corner of his eyes to not lose his attention on Cole, Braxton snapped his fingers and made a Koi fish fly straight towards Cole's face.

"Go fish, boy." He smoked again.

[Jalen August]

Jalen was getting annoyed, to put it lightly. She stood up just in time to push Cole out of the way of the flying fish. "That was your move?" She asked Braxton, an eyebrow raised in amusement. What was his problem anyways? Was he really that stupid to look back at the facts and realize that he was the one harassing her? Yes this was turning into a juvenile matter, but Jay was too stubborn to walk away now.

Standing next to Cole, she looked up at him and shrugged. The blonde wasn't totally sure if the boy before them was worth hurting. It would be amusing yes, but she wasn't irritated enough to completely snap on Braxton. "Lay off, go away. Accept defeat. It's two against one, what do you think you can accomplish, other than throwing fish..." Now Jalen was teasing the boy, a small grin on her face. She crossed her arms in front of her and sighed, "You seem pretty comfortable around the word 'penis' for someone who's so homophobic."

It was on like Donkey Kong.

[Cole Kessler]

Cole nodded in appreciation of Jalen's move to swat away the fish. Then she stood between them. Cole was really getting tired of this guy. First, he insulted Jalen. Then, threw a coy fish at Cole. "Ya'know, that's considered animal abuse in most of the country, bro." Cole's fist clenched, "Animal Abusers rank right up there with Molesters, Pedophiles, and Rapists on my list."

Cole wanted to punch him, just once. Something about this guy rubbed him the wrong way. He was cool at first then when this kid started acting like an as it pissed Cole off, "Listen here, D-Bag, touch another fish or piss me off too much more and we're gonna have problem." Cole told him as they stood there, "Get out of here, boy. If you can fly, go get lost in the sky."

[Braxton Carson]

"Stay out of this, sweetie, you don't wanna get hurt." Braxton said to Jalen without looking at her, having considered to push her aside, but deciding on not to. At least not yet.

Cole's little hero-speech on criminals passed right through Brax's right ear and out through his left one. He wasn't really listening to words, he was ready to throw a punch, but he wasn't going to be the first to start. He felt he could cut the tension in the air. In fights, the first movement was always the most important one, but also the hardest. It defined how things would go from there, and also on whose responsibility the fight would fall later on, wether if they got in trouble or not. Fortunately, Braxton was no longer a Hammel student, and the problems for picking up a fight with another teenager weren't going to be that bad, at least if no police gets involved.

"Oh I am just so scared." They were staring at each other's eye. "What are you going to do? Throw sparks at me?" Insert cocky half-smile here. "If you're so angry at me why don't you go ahead and do something about it, huh? But you have your girlfriend here stopping anything from happening. Does she needs to defend you? That is so cute, really."

[Jalen August]

Jalen's eyebrows furrowed, and she raised her hands between the two boys without touching either of them. "Listen," she said, trying to get their attention. "I wouldn't like to see what kind of trouble you'd get into being in a fight on highschool property when you don't even attend any more," she said, looking back at Cole. Neither of them probably gave a rat's ass about who got in trouble for what, this was about being the last man standing now. Jalen rolled her eyes, she could tell they weren't listening to her.

She would be the first to use her powers in this situation. 1. To disarm them, and 2. So that Braxton knew what he was dealing with. This time however, she did not guard Cole from her powers. All around them it would sound as if sirens would be going off, but the noise was getting louder and louder to the point where neither boy would be able to hear himself think. Eventually Jalen let the noise die away, looking between either boy. That was just a taste of what she could do - no one could fight if a simple ringing in the ear could bring them to their knees.

Let's not forget what she did to Zac. "Are we done here?" She asked, now that she had their attention. This was ridiculous.
