Dawn was just cresting over the horizon and Mathew was waiting in the campus grounds for Piper to show up. His eyes staring at his phone's clock.

Dressed in clothes she could sweat in, Piper had stretched and jogged to warm up her muscles before going to meet with Mat. She knew she wasn't late, but the fear of tardiness stuck as a lump in her throat.

She jogged over towards him, hair tied up in a ponytail and a look of pure determination on her face.

"Bout time you got your lazy ass here. Now run to the gate and back here."

He pointed toward the main gate.

"MOVE IT!"

"Speed or not?" She shouted as she started running.

Her full sprint, with no speed, was still faster than most people, and running was something she loved, something she knew. It was familiar.

Fine. She pushed the tingling into her muscles and focused, feeling the world starting to blur around her.

"Push yourself as hard as you can!"

He'd yell at her, whether or not she could hear him.

She was, already. She was pushing everything she could, begging her victim... just do it.

She was easily able to streamline her tiny frame, which only added to her speed.

How far away is the gate?

The gate was rapidly approaching! She can make it back to him next post with full speed!

She slid, fingers against the ground, until her foot gently touched the gate, and then she was off again, back towards Mat.

The maneuver was obviously well practiced, and she didn't waste any time with it, pushing the full of her speed to make it back to him.

When she made it back to him he shook his head.

"Again. Better this time. Go!"

Better.

She had never tried to push herself past 65, and even that made her muscles ached. Piper meshed her teeth tight together and sprinted, her legs and arms tingling.

When she went to slide, she kept herself upright for the resistance, which made it easier to gather her feet underneath herself and keep going.

He'd watch her, his eyes following her progress as she zipped through the grounds toward the gate and back. He'd wait for her to get back to him before making her do it again. No rest.

"Faster. I don't know how they do things Down Undah," he said mockingly, "but here I expect more than a participation trophy."

That accent grated on her, but he achieved his desired effect. She slid just as she had before, managing not to trip, as she turned back towards the gate.

She had endurance, but come on, dude.

She pushed, her victim screaming and abandoning her power into the body they shared, and Piper moved faster. Her muscles were tense, her body moving in perfect sync.

This was freedom.

He nodded, watching her move. Now it was time to see how she dealt with a distraction. He'd tap his foot just before she'd go for her slide and the ground under their feet would rumble and shake.

She went to slide and the ground rumbled. Mat. She was working with Mat. A wicked grin crossed her face and she timed her steps and slide. Turning, she slammed both open hands onto the ground in order to catch herself in starting position...

And then launch.

He smirked, she didn't fall. Good. The ground would stop shaking as she launched herself back toward him.

"Tired yet?"

She might have been, should have been, but there was a light in her eye. "No, Sir!" She shouted against the wind.

And so she did. Victim screaming, muscles stretching, she moved and she moved fast... possibly faster than she had before.

The power was almost dizzying.

Another stomp on the ground would send another ripple through the ground in an attempt to shake her up and break her focus.

Shake her up, maybe.

Break her focus, not so much.

It was the same move, with the same reaction. The only different was how to affected her body. Her muscles pulled strong and sent her back, but it hurt more than the time before. She made a soft noise, but still managed to get back to him.

Dangerous? And he was warning her?

Exhaustion touched her briefly, just for a second, as she started again.

She didn't know how much longer she could do this.

It would start out small. A few stone pillars shooting out toward her knees and legs. Any of which could break a leg or shatter a kneecap at her speed.
