I13DT: Ornithological Ophthalmology

by **Graham Jaeger** » Sun Jul 13, 2014 8:06 pm

Graham sat in the Danger Room's observation room, intensely studying a recreation of one of Hawkeye's many exploits.

"I have got to get me some of those trick arrows."

"I think the Avengers Museum has some, though you'd probably have to steal them," Mira pointed out from behind him.

Graham had been turning his head towards her just before she spoke. Prey awareness and all that.

"That wouldn't be a good start to a hero career though, would it?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 2:21 pm

"They tend to frown on that, yes."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 2:34 pm

Graham was distracted by a rather impressive shot by Hawkeye.

"Whoah... that was... that was awesome."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 2:39 pm

"See how the arrow is notched so it hooks a little in midair?"

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 2:48 pm

He rewound to let the shot replay in slow motion.

"Ahhh... good eye."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 2:59 pm

"I'm cheating, but thank you."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 3:05 pm

"Cheating?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 3:37 pm

"Incredible mental powers. I knew what kind of arrow it was without looking.

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 3:55 pm

"Weren't you technically looking with your brain then?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 4:29 pm

"Only by analogy."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 6:46 pm

He paused the action to give the beautiful but unnerving girl more attention.

"I'm Graham, by the way."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 7:04 pm

"Altamira."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 7:23 pm

"Nice to meet you... Altamira," he smiled with all the nervousness one might expect of a guy who hadn't been around many girls for seven years.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 7:57 pm

"Learning from the best, then?"

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 8:14 pm

"Hmm? Oh! Yeah. I'm seeing how far archery can go. I'm good, but... so not in Hawkeye's league."

"Yet," he smirked.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 11:54 pm

"Very few are. You'll have to practice a lot."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 9:33 am

"That I have no problem with. Frankly it'd feel strange not practicing. I'm used to hard work."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 1:27 pm

"Is that so?"

by **Graham Jaeger** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 2:03 pm

"Self reliance is rule number one in my father's house."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 2:18 pm

"That can be useful."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 2:19 pm

"Though at a point it's just... lonely."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 2:20 pm

"A little isolation never killed anyone, though it's not recommended for long-term survival."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 2:30 pm

"Or sanity."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 3:02 pm

"Overrated."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 3:05 pm

"Depends on the insanity in question, doesn't it?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 3:10 pm

"You have a point," Mira admitted.

by **Graham Jaeger** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 3:33 pm

"Anyway. I decided mere survival wasn't enough for me so here I am."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 3:53 pm

"You're right. Attending an Xaviers school, historically, has not been about survival," she joked.

by **Graham Jaeger** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 6:54 pm

"It's about cultivating what's best in our nature. Or so I'm led to believe."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 11:10 pm

"That's what they put on the pamphlets."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 10:46 am

"Is it true in your opinion?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 3:03 pm

"You get out of it what you put in. It's done wonders for some people. For others..."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 3:35 pm

"That much is true of life anywhere isn't it?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 5:08 pm

"It has historically been intensified here."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 6:49 pm

"Not surprising with all the superheroes walking around."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 8:19 pm

"And a surprising number of villains."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 8:20 pm

"Not currently I hope."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 8:41 pm

"We'll see. I have my eyes on one or two."
