Thread: After the Change (HaloHeroWolf118, DawnShadows)

Sorry for the wait I was taking care of some stuff. Mark smiled when her hand rested on his and she told him that as long as he liked her for her woman side rather than her dog half he wasn't that sort she was worried about. Mark wouldn't have minded had she left her hand on his for as long as she wanted but he knew he had to get back to work soon having already taken a longer break than he usually did. He noticed when she nudged her sandwich towards him with a playful smile on her face he didn't know what she had in mind but he figured it out as she was giving him the rest of her Sandwich. He reached out and slid the food towards him, I'll save this for later don't like working on an overfilled stomach. he told her as he finished his own drink. I should get back to work thank you for the meal and pleasant company. If you ever want to do this again or something more fancy you have my number. he finished as he stood. He waited for her to get up as well if she was ready her wrapped sandwich was held in his hand when his phone began to ring in his pants. Might be the boss to chew my ass for taking so long. he muttered as he pulled it out of his pocket the number was that of the highschool. He flipped it open and put it to his ear, Hello? he said then a voice on the other end started talking it was the school principal calling to tell him that his little brother broke the noses of two fellow students. That they needed to talk before he left with his brother, Yes sir. I'll be there. he sighed but he was also smiling. Well it wasn't my boss but I might be the one doing the chewing out later. he told her giving her an apologetic smile figuring it was rude to answer ones phone when having lunch with a new friend. Jason nodded as Secret asked him if he found running easier thanks to his change. It was true many people had received some abilities from the animal they had come in contact with that triggered the change. Reports claimed that certain breeds like insects, fish and amphibians weren't able to effect the virus so contact with them wouldn't trigger it. The government had in fact tried an all new recruitment see as having soldiers with powerful noses could sniff out drugs or bombs thanks to their animal genes. Many people had adjusted better once they realized the gifts they received from their change for someone like Jason who had been average in running was now leading the pack thanks to his change. This however had not been helpful in gaining back some kindness from the other students, when more changed began to appear fights broke out in his school fights that commonly got students suspended and even once arrested. Jason also was a big geek for comics and his favorite were the X-Men so now he thought he tried and be fair holding himself back when he ran. Yeah I can run allot faster and I'm less winded than normal. he said finally he noticed Secret trip up and fall on his back so he fell back and walked up to Secret. You okay? he asked offering a hand to his new friend. He wondered what had caused Secret to suddenly trip and fall like that though with no sign of anything on the track he just fell back on thinking Secret had tripped over his own feet. He waited for a response and while he waited he breathed in he could detect the scent of the other kids the grass of the foot ball stand the stale fading scent of corn dogs from the snack shack where they sold snacks during games. He could even smell the pot smoke from where a few kids had skipped class to hide under the bleachers and smoke a joint or two. He remembered the smell from when he had gone into his brothers room at one time during his senior year of high school the haze had been thick as his brother was in mourning over a bad breakup.
