Laura and Asher had landed without any issue from the zip line. They were even able to get to a good position to watch Art and Jane who were about to come down themselves. "Do you think they will be able to land safely?" Asher was a little worried but Laura was not sharing the sentiment.
"I can't wait for them to both end up in the mud. It will be hysterical." She was bouncing with excitement. This was the favorite obstacle all around anyways.
Asher shook his head wanting to try and tell her not to think that way but he also couldn't help but hope that the two would hit the mud. He himself knew that the mud was not the most pleasant experience and wanted them to share it.
The two of them sat there for what seemed to be their entire life. "Why are they taking so long?" Laura was losing patience faster than Asher by far.
"Safety talk. Don't you remember we were having one the first time too?" Asher wanted to flick her forehead for not realizing this after being on the zipline over thirty times.
"Oh yeah, lame." Laura bounced in place trying to not be as bored. This was the worst part for her. She would sit here all day to see the other campers attempt this and knew why Dia had built it.
"Has anyone finished the course while you have been here?" Asher decided that making conversation was the best way to kill the time since the safety talk was probably the real one that would take longer.
"I think a pair has. They had a weird mix of super powers but worked really well together. One kid had a big head and was super smart while the other was super buff and didn't talk." Laura had found them weird because the larger guy carried the smarter one through the entire course while the smarter one directed him.
"Sounds like a good strategy. The one with the big head probably has some brain based super power so they can solve puzzles and figure out the best path, The not speaking one that is bigger probably got a strength type super power and balanced out the brain kid." Asher easily saw how the two together would equal out to one person.
"So that's their trick. I thought the one just was too lazy to walk." Laura had been convinced of this the entire time and was not realizing it. She didn't have any desire to put more thought in to the situation since she already knew her time was faster making it through the course.
"Hey Laura, I have something Jane, Art, and I want to propose to you." Asher was going to try and have the conversation about them forming a super power hero group.
"I will join the group. I think I can do much better that way. Being at camp has given me some insight on it and I made the decision the other day. I also had the feeling that you three would form one anyways so I would just ask to join up with all of you. Now I don't have to." She smiled and was much more serious than she had been before.
"I-I Welcome to the group." Asher was slightly stunned but was easily able to accept this. He and the others hadn't been hiding their goals as of yet and were not planning to hide them at any point.
Asher took a deep breath and started to speak on their plans, "The first goal is to use the academic app and the elite home gym training app to get up a year ahead. Once we skip to senior year we can take the tournaments by storm and head to university earlier. We will form an official group there and show the world the best heroes ever." His confidence made Laura rise even more.
"I am going to be there as the fastest member. There is no way we wouldn't be the best." Laura fed off of Asher's confidence and let her own ego run unchecked. They were both still talking up their future deeds that the sound of the zip line nearly escaped them.
"They are coming. Who will be first!" Laura was right at the edge of the mud waiting excitedly for the first of the two to break the greenery and try to land on the target.
"Jane!" Art and Laura were even more energized to see that Jane was the first one on her way down the zip line. This meant that Art would soon follow but for now, they got to see how she would fair.
Jane was calm and collected having enjoyed the entire trip down. However, when she saw the target she instantly knew what was happening. If she did not drop there she would end up showing three or four times to get rid of all the mud. This realization alone was the motivation to become deadly focused.
"You can do it Jane!"
"Take a mud bath!"
Asher and Laura had very different cheers but both were ignored as Jane neared the edge of the mud. She was counting out the timing to guess her speed and had let go as soon as she was at her estimated distance.
The two watched as Jane somehow roled in to a backflip then landed with both feet together and her hands in the air. "What the heck was that? Since when does Jane do gymnastics!?" Asher was shocked to see this skill that ha had no clue that Jane had possessed.
"That was so much better than mud…"Laura was whispering to herself about the amazing dismount from the zip line.
"AHHHHHHH." The scream that seemed to be getting closer and closer drew every ounce of attention.
"I think Art is on his way now," Asher spoke with absolutely no emotion. The yell that Art had going was lacking the manly tone a yell should have. All he could do was wait for Art to get there. "He might hit the mud extra hard." Asher had the feeling that things wouldn't be going well for Art.
