Chapter 2: Leap | 39

And they're off! If you look at the very back of the row someone is falling down, I'm sure at the time I drew this I had someone specific in mind but can't remember who it was meant to be now. There would be safety devices there to ensure that their landing isn't (too) hard… can't go breaking the cadets in their first month. You can see that some are having an easier time than others, right at the front Bill is carrying Gabby as he flies up, then Gifford finds no trouble at all in climbing the rope while Nadine's speedster legs help give her added strength for rope climbing (unlike the ‘standard speedster’ she's not fast at everything, just running); a bit further back we can see Louis giving Sioni a lift up… Louis can jump long/high distances and Sioni's gravity manipulation abilities is no doubt helping here; a bit further back Charisma is hoisting Mudge up by the seat of his pants; the others reaching the top of the tower are Lyta carrying Maya on her back… Lyta can't fly or leap but she's very strong. In the face of all that you've gotta love Kaycee's dogged determination! Tomorrow, fists aplenty!
