The man leaned silently against the wall just outside of the base. He was so not looking forward to going jogging around the base. He never looked forward to working out, but he always did it, regardless of how he felt. He was still sore from that basketball game with the autobots. He remembered the girl, Cira was her name. He smiled at the thought of her. A pretty young girl she was. Much too young for him. But nonetheless, he could have a little fun, culdnt he? He chuckled as he readied himself, removing his shirt, leaving himself in a white undershirt and basketball shorts, ready to go.

Having been changed out of her flight suit, Cira set her stuff aside by a random chair outside the hangar and reappeared in a black t-shirt and loose black shorts which wen to her knees. Her hair was no longer up in a bun, but still tied up in a pony tail. "Hey." she waved. Tightening her shoes one last time, Cira immediately began looking for stuff to vault over. She saw a few trucks and some trash cans here and there.
Cira clapped her hands together. "This shouldn't be too bad for a little parkour in the mix. Downtown is still better though." grinning, she suddenly ran forward full speed and lightly jabbed Epps in the shoulder. "PSYCHED, YOU'RE IT!" she continued running past and did a vault over a random truck parked a couple yards up ahead.

Epps eyed her up and down as she came out. He chuckled as she spoke. "Well I lilke it here." He said just as she started forward. He laughed and took off after her. He was a strong man, and agile, easily able to follow her and vault over the same truck, landing lightly, then continuing forward. A rather large Hummer was parked just in front of him, afcing him. He ran forward, jumping up onto the hood, running over the top, and turneg around just in time to do a backflip off the rear end, landing smoothly. "Beat that." He said as he folded his arms across his chest. Backflips were quite a way to impress a woman. He backed up a few steps, waiting for her.

Impressive as it was, Cira kept her cool, knowing she could do more than what he'd demonstrated. ["Piece of cake, I can do that the other way! I can do that from the back!" She jogged around the Hummer than ran up its back end (which was obviously almost vertical) and planted her lef food on the bumper. In two smooth, fluid steps, she carried her momentum upwards and planted her right foot on the glass by the rear widow wiper. Using her upper body strength, she picked herself up with both arms and planted her toes on the top of the vehicle.
Bouncing up, Cira ran forward to the end of the vehicle and did a precision leap off the front window, clearing the distance, she did two front flips before landing on her feet just a foot in front of the Hummer's grill. She then ran forward all the way to the hangar's wall then did a wall pass up that, covering a little more than twice her height with the speed and skill she had. Cira used the momentum from the pass and immediately shifted her weight and sprung off the wall to do a back flip.
Now a meter or so away, she shouted back: "Flips are cool!"

Epps smiled as she spoke and watched as she basically kicked her ass in flips. He laughed and jogged towards her, closing the distance. "Well, I have to admit, I dont do all this parkour stuff very much. Only here, training at the base." He said with a small chuckle. "Although I can see you do it more often." Sweating already from the intense heat, he removed ihs undershirt and put it in his left pocket, half of it hanging out, but he was sure it wouldnt fall. His body was sweaty and shiny already. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and looked arouns. "Lets roll, we aint even atarted our jog yet." He said as he hopped two times and jogged away from her.

"Rodger that!"Cira grabbed her ipod and kept one ear bud in, tucking it in one of the large pockets of her shorts. Her ipod being on shuffle, the leek song by holly dolly-a very upbeat techno song that was pretty old. The version playing was the one Cira liked the most. "Oh yay! I love this song!" she sang along to the random lyrics (I actually have no clue what the language is!) and jogged after Epps, randomly kicking off the wall as she went for the heck of it.

The shirtless man continued joggin, keeping a steady pace. THey headed in a direction away from the base, to a trail he often jogged on and almost no-one really knew about. The ground was made up mostly of dirt, and a little grass and some mushes here adn there, but further out, there was a small creek, just about a mile away. He continued jogging, simply chuckling and sometimes laughing out loud as Cira sang to her music. Withing only about 10 minutes they were there, pretty good timing for a mile. He stopped, sweating and breathing ever so slightly hard as he walked to the edge of the creek, his hands on his hips. He raised his arms above his head, placing his hands atop his head
He sat at the edge of teh creek bed, his elbows around his knees as he looked at Cira, squinting in the sunlight. "You didn't fall behind, I'm impressed." He said with a smile.

Cira whipped some sweat off her head and paused her music. "Heh, thanks. I run around a lot. I only drive to the base really. I walk everywhere else." About half way in the middle of the creek from where Cira stood, were a couple boulders that stuck up at various angles. Picking one relatively flat, Cira precision jumped over it. "Say, have you ever tried going up an escalator in a mall via a handstand? It's fun." Cira checked her balance before she knelt down on the slightly wet rock, tightening her shoe laces.

Epps couldn't help but chuckle at the girl. Going up an escalator via handstand? "I couldn't say I've ever tried that." He said as he laughed softly. He watched her jump over to the boulder and shifted slightly, kneeling down tot eh water and splashing water over his face. "When did you come to teh Base?" He asked, wanting to get a bit of background info on her, just for conversation, plus, he really didn't know much about her. He liked to know his fellow NEST members inside and out, so in battle, or during an attack, they could work together better. Speaking of, he hadn't talked to Lennox in a while. His mind wandered for a moment before he looked back at Cira.

"I joined about a summer after high school. Lennox recruited me."Cira said, remaining on the rock in a kneel. "After completing basic training and taking some tests, I went straight to flight school and got promoted to a Warrant Officer as soon as I had all the training requirements and set hours. Now I'm on call for a) patrol b) support. What about you?"

"Me? I've been here for what seems like a lifetime. Well, not here here, but with the soldiers. About four years ago, after being attacked in Quatar (sp?) by Blackout and that scorpion thing, me and Lennox and the gang were all put in with the NEST operations, and we've been here ever since. Although I haven't seen action in a while.." He said, almost to himself. He snorted softly and shook his head, watching teh creek water run by. "What was your life like before you came here?" He asked, not really wanting to pro or anything, but just wanting to know

"Weell, that's an interesting one. I had a small family you see...and basically, a Decepticon you probably don't know took my last family member away from me. At the time, he wasn't technically a decepticon. He started out as just an advanced vehicle created by a man named Wilton Knight. The Decepticon's full name is Knight Automotive Roving Robot. Putting aside what he's like and the specs of what went wrong with him, let's just say he's evil. So of course, Wilton Knight made a new and improved, good version of KARR. This vehicle is called the Knight Industries Two Thousand. The driver Wilton Knight chose for KITT and his boss found me and my Aunt after the accident, as KARR had been on the lose for some time...
So basically they decided to adopt me when they found out I had no family left and had to get over my injuries. From there, well...I just grew up in Wilton Knight's special organization known as FLAG..." she paused, partly curious to see his reaction to all the stuff about KARR and KITT.
