Carmen "La Puma Negra" The older teen raised a brow as she listened to Jennifer, trying to get an idea if she was being lied to be but cut herself off after seeing the wound. It seemed as though she was telling the truth about what was going on, some sort of unseen battle still raging with these delinquent magical girls, and one that appeared to be a losing one at this time. As much as the puma part of her didn't seem to trust her, rebuffing it as not their problem, one for the senior heroes to deal with, the Carmen part of her wanted to help. That Human side of her won out in the end as she crossed her arms and took a deep breath. "Alright, you want us to beat this new one and send him packing, sounds like a good time. If we can deal with some crazy dragon thing there ain't much below that we couldn't send packing back to where it came from," she says with a bit of a grin. Now this was something to get around being bored today. Extra credits for chump work and she got to beat some weirdo from sort of other dimension. A great combination if there was one. "Anything else we need to know?"

Carmen "La Puma Negra" Carmen would sniff the air as the smell of someone smoking came to be to felt with her senses. A familiar scent, one that hadn't been felt in almost a year as she looked to the rather familiar stranger. As it was revealed to be Scorpio, one of those magical girls that she had made to look like chumps when they had faced. The only magic was how they even managed to even land a hit on her, smirking as she spoke. "Know those things are bad for you, right," she spoke. A hand was on her hip, thinking about how they had to deal with some crazy cosmic stuff after all that mess. It was a big group effort and it sure wasn't easy, "Want round 2 or something, or is it round 3 now." "Wait... what you want our help?"

La Puma Negra Carmen had been typing up an email about an assignment that was soon to be due that week, asking a question about it the teacher. The werecat student had been sort of just following other and more younger students around as a sort of chaperone now, not really interested in doing all this medieval stuff. It could be said that she really just didn't get it, all this medieval stuff, seeing what appeared to be more fantasy than anything else, the oddity of it being a ren faire at that. Still, the food was good, and Carmen was a big eater, senses more interested in tasting a pretzel she had bought with spicey mustard on it than anything else. Of course, that meant when a guy that engulfed the throne in flames came from out of nowhere to deliver some preachy line, she stuffed down the rest really quick before getting up and by Cerebral, "And here I thought watching someone get knocked off a horse was entertaining." "Hey punk, what's the matter, hot off the handle?"

You need Carmen, alright. Rolled a 19 for Initiative

Carmen Arrache- La Puma Negra Carmen had no issue throwing over the last large black trash bag into the bin outside the awaiting open door. A quick stretch of her limber body and she was feeling fine, although a little bit bored. There weren't any plans tonight and from her understanding Michael was busy as well with some sort of school project that he needed a lot of concentration on or something like that. He just said he was busy tonight, and Carmen wasn't trying to get him to do something he didn't want to do. Of course, that meant that on a day with no school she was essentially bored out of her mind, a literal death sentence for an active mind like her own. "No, not really. I didn't plan really to do anything much," she speaks stretching out once more. One part to relax and the other out of a form of keeping her body moving as it was to fight off the sheer amount of boredom that was entering her mind. Carmen didn't want to go back to her room either as Cerebral.... or what she thought was the hero's name for her roommate was no fun at all in her mind.

La Puma Negra "Hey ugly, what's the matter, cat got your tongue," she'd mock the formerly animatronic werewolf, now given strange life by some strange bunny boy from what she could understand now. It didn't matter much now as she growled and hissed at it, trying to stoke its attention the best that she could. It seemed everyone was doing their best to make sure anyone around could get away safely. The same went for Miss Del Gado, who had made sure to get out of harm's way as quickly as it was needed. The last thing they needed was someone getting hurt, stalling for time as people got out of the way and to proper safety. Her enhanced hearing gave her insight to the wider chaos, making it a little bit hard to concentrate without hearing someone scream or call out for help. Frantic steps. It was almost strange, as it felt natural, like a cat mad at a dog as she stared down the werewolf, hoping it took her as a major threat to it instead of her compatriots. Puma could take a few hits after all and was plenty acrobatic to avoid even more, but she didn't know how intelligent this thing was given that it was essentially freshly alive before them, "Come on dog breath," she spoke as Centuria gave it what looked to be a good hit. There wasn't much certainty to her that all this would work but it was all worth a shot.

Carmen Arrache- La Puma Negra Carmen needed the credits for her own academic needs even as the school year was only just really starting. Being not the most academically inclined meant that the young superheroine werecat had to fight for every advantage she had, already on the down foot from her own odd appearance. If only being a superhero itself could be a job in its own right as her physical ability wasn't questioned at the school, getting good grades in the all the practical courses when it came to it and with some skill in more plain writing courses. Math subjects were a completely different story and if she wanted to work with her mentor Patriot, she was going to have to get every advantage she could get. Puma's senior costume was much the same as the years prior, a grayish black leotard that let her agile and stealthy. The newest addition was a belt that hid a special project that she was working on, but the time wasn't right yet for the time as she continued to work. It was strange that they were in them but supposed that Claremont Halloweens tended to be like this for Seniors and upperclassmen such as herself in retrospect. That was why Mizuki was in it along with her, or at the least why she thought she was in her costume at the time. "No, I got it," Carmen says in response, barely breaking a sweat due to her enhanced biology, enduring rather the workout. What didn't endure was the act of cleaning up was boring to her feline nature though restrained herself enough to continue her work onward. Mizuki was nice enough and didn't bother her, and from what Michael told her was a real good lifesaver after having had to deal with some sort of shark villain from what she was told, and any friend of Michael's could be said to be a friend of her, "Don't think there is any left for us to get done."

La Puma Negra Carmen had been jotting down information onto a paper, holding a clipboard in her hands as she idly wrote down names that were listed int he different rooms. A room chart that was there that the elder students were to update as time went on, checking off names for attendance technically and making that everyone there was supposed to be on this floor. Sure, her copy of the list that she was sharing with Cerebral was filled with random doodles, her mind wandering as put it aside to again check her phone. It was getting kind of boring anyway for her and the younger students seemed to be getting along anyway. Why waste any time with them considering she hadn't been told whom she'd be teaming with just yet. Her thoughts were thinking Iris likely, since she assumed to be made to room with her. "Hey Iris, I got to use the bathroom," she says going away from the direction of the bathroom, "I'll be back!"

While still waiting on getting my updates approved, I'll go ahead and roll Initiative and getting 15, damn. Puma will use Intimidation to distract the Wolf, getting a 21

La Puma Negra "Sigue soñando!" growled out as she looked back out to such a strange being, standing there menacing and imposing. Claws out, ready to pounce, but it would likely be futile. Whatever this entity was there was no way any of them would be likely take on such a thing and live. They'd be stuck here, dead and forgotten, a cruel end for some young heroes caught in the whirlpool of machinations of beings far beyond their own imaginations. However, Puma wasn't going to end things without a fight, not if she couldn't help it. Her life hadn't come this far just to be lost in time after all, gearing up to continue the fight, no matter now how truly now come to. That was however until a portal of some kind appeared, a temporal distortion of sorts. Then, out came Paradigm, the hero she had met weeks ago with Michael while all that crazy alien stuff had occurred. It seemed like everything to do with extraterrestrial life was beyond her, but what did she know. Carmen herself was a genetic abnormality that no doctor could rather figure out and few magically inclined folks that did simply label it as some sort of curse too hard to sparse out. Aliens brought it just one step crazier in another whole direction as the cavalry arrived along with Paradigm. Of course, Paradigm wasn't alone and alongside the host of alien troops came Praetorian, "Don't have to tell me twice!" she says before bounding towards their new exit, looking back only once.

La Puma Negra Sitting on her seat or just barely as she was more squatting on the seat, sipping her smoothie of several kinds of mixed fruit, Carmen was enjoying her free lunch break drink. Sure, she couldn't really taste the amalgamation of five or six fruit that she had made the fellow teenager make for her, unable to taste sweet but liking the textures and smell. That and simply preferring such a nice cool drink at that time. Of course, it being free with the highlight as she very much enjoyed free things offered to her since a young age. The stress she had put on the employee was not known to her as her tail wagged around, in sort of her own world as she sipped. Today was going to be a good day. That was until duty called as security throughout the mall seemed a buzz with activity, Carmen using her hearing to try and figure out what was going on around them. That would easy as soon as she just needed her eyes to see what was going on. A witch and a werewolf, one cackling flying around while a werewolf growled and terrorized any that were nearby. Theoretically she could have gone for the strange fellow with the bunny hoodie on, but that was only theoretical of course as she leapt from her seat towards the werewolf, the stranger already having fled by the time she had managed to get through the crowd of panicked and terrified mall-goers. It was easy to get herself in front of a few of them as her quick speed and agility made it near effortless. "Green, let's go!" she'd call out, giving the senior student command, as she faced down this now alive prop, "Alright, why don't you calm down before we have to send you to the pound."

La Puma Negra Carmen didn't seem to get the obvious quick flirtations, more enthused about leading her merry band of followers to the next store, a den of the more adult kind, filled oriented jokes that her upbringing hadn't ever actually confronted. So, while looking at it from the outside, confidence suddenly began to evaporate as she stood there, waiting for everyone to coalesce together before the store. Wielding her impeccable leadership skills, Carmen had plans to send Alden in but assumed that it would be maybe even stranger for them, seeing as how she didn't think Alden was even from this realm. That's why he'd make the perfect candidate, the most likely to no be phased she'd think before being distracted back towards Miss Delgado and her offer of grabbing some drinks. "Thanks Miss Delgado," Carmen spoke happily. It appears free drinks was enough to distract her from her planning, smiling as she took a few dollar bills. They had passed a smoothie stand, and while she couldn't really taste sweat things she still loved drinking them.

La Puma Negra Unlike Centuria, who carried the bulk of the bags through the mall, Carmen held only one as she walked confidently and rather happily through the mall. Sure, crowds were always an issue for her, but her little posse backing her up and carrying all the stuff made things far easier for her, not to mention being tasked by her boyfriend to use his mother's card to do so, gave her a sort of confidence she had been needing. Having suddenly money at her disposal was like a power in its own right, at her disposal. Of course, that meant a form of responsibility that she had never before, especially since it wasn't her money but Michael's mother. Still, it was something that she never would think would have, a credit card. "I'll have you know that you are being a vital member of our team right now if it means anything to you. After all, everyone has a duty so to speak, like me. I buy the things. You carry it and..." she took a few moments to figure out what she was planning. It was clear that she was making things up as she went as they walk towards the direction of the next store, a more adult store that specialized in Halloween themed props for season, "Harper and Alden are our spotters, for deals and such, yea, that." Delgado she had given no arbitrary task as she truly had nothing. It was last minute that she was told the nurse was coming along, but she supposed that it was a chaperone issue as she was the only one from her knowledge that could drive. Carmen hadn't even applied at all to get a license to do so, barely taking much care towards taking the free driver's ed classes offered. It was all just a form of moral support of some kind as she marched with a bag in hand. Even with the colder weather she was dressed in jean shorts and tennis shoes. A varsity jacket over her once more signifying the fall season's return as they got to the store.
