Chapter 68 - 68. Off You Go

"What time is it? We can't make Jane wait." Asher was on edge since rt had rushed him to eat so he tossed the dished in to the dishwasher and rushed outside. "Hurry up you guys. We need to get to school!"

Art grabbed Cara's plate and took it to the trash, "rest in peace poor food. You deserved better." His little prayer made Cara giggle, naturally, she hid it from him though. He grabbed them some peanut butter and a few pieces of bread and made quick sandwiches for them. With a snack to eat the two left their own way.

Cara took the lead and did a light jog to school trying to escape Asher before he decided to ask what they thought of the food. Art joined Jane and Asher who had been chatting the entire time he was clean things up. "Sorry for taking a while, I was still really hungry. I must be having a growth spurt." His excuse threw Asher off of the truth and kept him in the clear.

"So are you excited to leave for camp early? I heard only two other students got approval this year to go to camp Jewell early." Jane had asked around through the week to see if she could get any information on what the camp was like. Most of the students who had gone just brushed it off or said that it was pronounced camp cruel. This gave her nothing useful to share other than the fact that two other students were going early.

"I have my bag and I am feeling pretty ready for everything. I figure I will the combat gear I bought at the store under my uniform before I go to the front entrance. I have no idea what to expect but I want to make sure I am the first person ready to go." He was very excited to go to camp first. He would be able to scout out all the best parts of the camp so he could show it off to his friends.

"Just don't get too ahead of us before we get there. I will be doubling my work outs this weekend." when Art said this he crossed his arms to look intimidating. Sadly Asher was way too used to him and would never be afraid of Art.

"I will be doing the same, I am going to shadow spar and practice as many moves as possible. When I get there I will make sure to test out what you learned." The sweet Jane was missing and replaced with a completely different person. She sounded like she was ready to punch a hundred people just to stay on the same level as her friends.

While the three walked to school the rivalry only grew the entire time. Today was the day they had to return the video to coach Winters and they were all sad that they wouldn't have the chance to grab another instructional video for the week since they would be at camp. "I really wish we could get one instructing us on holds and body locks. I feel like we need to learn to restrain an opponent after we stun them." This was something that had weighted in jane's mind as they had trained the past few days.

"If we cant contain the villain we capture then there is pretty much no point in trying to subdue them at all. They could run away at any time. Most villains know how to get out of basic handcuffs or other restraints." Art had already looked in to getting restraints and found that there were thousands of videos on how to escape them with ease. Even the most high-tech were easy to get out of in minutes.

"At the end of the day, I think it would be better to capture them and incapacitate them. If we learn to knock them out we are doing one better than restraints. But it is a little mean…" Asher saw that straight up knocking someone out to stop them could be cruel at the end of the day.

"Definitely mean, but if it's the only way you've gotta do it." Shrugging his shoulders, Art had long accepted this as a possible solution.

"What about that police officer who decided not to be a hero but pretty much is a hero? He can use ropes like that are his own body, he uses them to sneak up on criminals and traps them. You should try that Art." Jane had heard the story on the news that the officer had been offered a hero spot four times and always turned it down. He was an unofficial hero.

"If I can ever use my super power to control lead that carefully then I should be able to do anything at that point." He started to lose himself to the idea.

"That would be pretty cool. You could make like metal snakes to go and catch a villain." Asher was getting in to it as they neared the school entrance.

"If you stick around as the good luck charm the metal might just start catching villains by itself." Art laughed at his own joke but had his joy interrupted by a tall muscular woman at the gate.

"You are Asher Ronan correct?" Her gruff voice was like gravel being poured out on to glass.

"Ummm yeah that's me, why?" The woman nodded and grabbed him around the waist tossing him on her shoulder.

"We are going to camp Jewell now. Say goodbye to your friends." Asher tried his best to struggle free but found that the woman's grasp was tougher than anything he had ever encountered.

"Make sure you return this to coach Winters!" Asher tossed the video from his bag to Jaenwho caught it without fail, His two friends watched as he was carried away to a van with two other people standing by it. "I will see you two when You get to camp!" He tried to shout a goodbye but he was soon tossed in with two other students. They were off to camp early.
