Claremont Academy Gates

 

Carmen and Mizuki had been volunteered to help with cleanup from the Claremont Halloween party. It was mostly separating recycling, cardboard to cans to plastic, while leftover candy was being donated and handed out to charities.

It was a bit boring for work, but it was also a nice way to get some extra credit on a few classes; either if they needed it or if they just wanted to juice a grade.

 

The pair were currently sorting the boxes out near the entrance to the school into various bins, so that when the trucks came by the pick up, they'd know which box to grab without having to go searching.

 

It was a bit of a dreary, overcast day, with rain constantly threatening to break through the clouds but never for more than a few seconds.

 

A dreary day that had left two Super-heroines who had done some superheroing together a bit of time to be alone and talk, without the presence of evil villains or their other friends dominating the conversation.

Mizuki - a.k.a. Torpedo Lass II

 

Mizuki didn't need the credits for her own academics... but she was buying time. She had been hearing of several internship opportunities opening up after the winter semester, and she wanted to take advantage. Opening her school schedule up for these opportunities to connect with different agencies in Freedom City was a smart strategy if she planned on expanding her horizons as a full-time hero. That and potential employment possibilities. Although a few business cards were secure in her posession from recruiters for UNIQUE, not to mention everyone from oceanic research to product testing nautical safety equipment... I mean if you can't drown you're perfect for the job, right?

 

She shook her head for a moment, adjusting the form-fitting hood to her new costume. She decided to bring out the new Torpedo Lass costume she'd been setting up as a project to test it doing some hard work. Knowing it was about to rain to help keep it out of her eyes she had a pair of goggles at the ready as well. If anything her outfit was super easy to clean, and would keep any grime off of her for the duration.

 

After heaving a more awkward several bags full of aluminum cans into position she sat down on a coach's chair mercifully provided by the staff of the school.

 

"Phew... Got any more heavy stuff over there, Carmen? Maybe we should catch a breath before getting back on this. The trucks aren't due for a few more hours and we're making progress."

 

This wasn't a bad job, but getting to know Carmen was more important. Mizuki doesn't get to socialize a lot with the other students outside of certain occasions, and after the Fiji crisis she realized she had to make some improvements and countering her wall-flower ways.

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."
