Day 209 ✝ Action
✝ Action with Spencer Reid
Derek smiled brightly when he saw Reid walk into the athletic complex almost right on time to when they’d agreed to meet. He’d almost expected him to find an excuse not to show since this wasn’t really Reid’s thing, so he was really more than happy that he did. He’d wanted some time with his friend to see how he was really doing and this was as good excuse as any without being overly obvious that he was checking up on him. Reid could really just be happy that Derek wasn’t busting down his door again and pushing his way in. Improvement? Yes. Never let it be said that Derek couldn’t grow and change… kind of.

He stood up from the chair he’d been sitting in and picked up his bag. He’d already claimed a room to work in, like he usually did. One hand clapped down on Reid’s shoulder and squeezed. “Hey pretty boy. Almost thought you might not show.”

✝ Action with Rogue
For weeks now Derek and Rogue had been working privately with each other. It was actually working with her that had made him think about giving more lessons in self-defense… maybe even starting a class. But it was still just an idea he was toying with more than one he was actually putting into motion. Not that he would turn down anyone who wanted to learn or spar. He just wasn’t advertising it yet.

He was in his normal room that he occupied with a nice mat on a part of the floor. When Rogue came in, he smiled in her direction. “Hey, pretty girl. Doin’ alright? You get caught up in that mess yesterday?”

✝ Open Action for anyone and everyone
For the better part of the morning Derek will be at the Athletic Complex in Sector one. He’ll probably break for lunch and then head into the Defense Force Headquarters in Sector Two for a bit to do some work. Anyone is free to run into him in either place or in the in-between.

Rogue couldn't help but return Derek's smile. She shook her head a little. "No. I stayed in yesterday and did a lot of baking. Speaking of," she held out a covered pie dish. "I hope you like pecan pie."

She was dressed for their workout in yoga pants and a long sleeved, tight runners shirt. She had gloves on her hands. She took as few risks as possible when she and Derek trained.

"What about you?"

"Ahhh see now, this is why a brothah's gotta work out so much. Cause of sweet girls like you makin' him pie. Thanks, Rogue. You know I love it." He really laid on the Chicago accent for that comment. But it's said with a smile as he takes the pie and sets it down over by his bag. He would never complain that Rogue was always trying to feed him. Home cooked or baked goodness wasn't lost on him. He ate it right up.

"Luckily no, saw a few people who did though and I'm glad I knew exactly where I was." He didn't like the idea of anyone messing with his head. And seeing things that weren't there, seemed like it was too close to that for comfort.

He moved over to the center of the mat and sat down, stretching his legs out together in front of him and leaning as far over as possible to stretch. "Seemed too much like them gettin' in our minds. And the Wardens didn't even mention it in the greeting this morning, no explanation, nothin'."

Rogue laughed a little, ducking her head and turning a bit pink. "I'm pretty sure you could eat a pie a day and not be outta shape." Rogue didn't really have a crush on Derek, but she hadn't missed that he was very sexy.

"Yeah, me too. I like watchin' a movie much as anyone, but I don't think I'd wanna be in one."

She followed his lead, sitting down beside him and moving into the stretch. "Wonder why? They usually do mention things like that."

"Right back atcha, pretty girl." And Derek really had no romantic feelings for Rogue either. They were just good friends. And in true Derek fashion, he'd kind of taken her under his wing in that he felt very protective where she was concerned. There was a list of people Derek felt that way about, really. And Rogue was on the list.

He grabbed his toes, completely hunched over and stretching for a moment. And as it's hard to speak in that position, he's quiet for just a few seconds before sitting back up. "I'm not sure. But it doesn't sit well with me. I'm curious about it, about what caused it. Maybe the Wardens don't know it happened."

Rogue liked having Derek there to look after her and be concerned. It was reminiscent of having Logan around. She was equally as protective of him, but she accepted that he could take care of himself at the same time.

She was still following his lead. She stretched her hands up toward the ceiling after stretching to reach her toes. "That'd be soemthin' wouldn't it? I mean...maybe a way of gettin' home. If we knew for certain things happened that they don't know 'bout."

Bringing one leg up and crossing it across the other, he turned his torso in the other direction, stretching his sides and his back. He brought one arm around to stretch his shoulder and neck muscles out as well, and then did the same thing but in the opposite direction. “To tell you the truth, I’m not sure they’re capable of tracking each and every one of us twenty-four seven. A few weeks ago, I got into a fist fight with a guy. Remember when I had those bruises all over my face? Never got in trouble for it.”

Tyki had deserved it, as far as he was concerned. Bullying was something that Derek just would not tolerate if the bullying was happening to one of his people. And Reid was one of his people. Then to hear that the psychopath had even thought about speaking with Penelope after treating Reid the way he had, well… Derek had his reasons not to like the guy. But to his knowledge, neither of them had been reprimanded for the violence they’d laid on each other. It was strange. “Maybe when they’ve got too much goin’ on, they can’t keep track of it all. Like they can only run so many programs at once or somethin’ like that.”

"From what I understand, you gotta hurt 'em enough that they gotta go to the hospital. When I had to kiss all them people, the only one I really hurt was Peter and I sorta just took him back to my place and let him heal up a little. I didn't get in any trouble for it either." She pauses as she stretches a bit more. "Why'd you get in a fist fight with him?"

Rogue ponders that a moment as she finishes the stretch. "Could use that for some sorta advantage. If we could figure out where to start tryin' to get out. Start a big riot and overload 'em. Might work anyway, you know? Just have a big ole riot and see how they react to bein' overloaded."

"He said some less than appropriate things about my baby girl, Garcia. You ever met her? Penelope Garcia?" He wouldn't be surprised if Rogue had run into her before. Or the other way around. Penelope was very much a social butterfly. "Anyway, he was goading me, baiting me and he got me hook line and sinker when he said somethin' about her. Lost my cool."

He finally stood up, holding out a hand to help Rogue to her feet with her gloved hand in his. He stepped back a step, and held up his hand. "Gimme some jabs, just like I taught you." They were moving on from the punching bag to actual sparring. "A riot would take a lot of underground planning and trust that no one was gonna rat us out. It's a good idea though. How would you go about spreading the word?"

Rogue shook her head at Derek's question. She hadn't met Garcia, but she was interested in meeting her now because she's a friend of Derek's.

"I can understand that." She was protective enough of her friends that while she might not end up in a fist fight, she would defend them if she could.

She narrowed her eyes, focusing on his hands and landing square, solid jabs to his palms. "Think we'd arrange explorations to Sector six and talk 'bout it there. They ain't got good surveillance on us there."

"You should meet her sometime. Probably the best person I know. And she's my best friend." It was obvious with the tenor of his voice when he spoke about Garcia that he was overly fond of her. It might even be obvious that he loves her. But their relationship here in the prison was something beyond what it would probably ever be back home. And he was still kind of terrified of messing it up.

He was pretty solid as she continued to punch at his palms, giving her slack when it was required and holding steady ground when it was the opposite. He began circling around so that she would have to move, aim and punch at the same time. "What sector do you patrol? You know Kitty?"

"Yeah, I'd like to meet her." Rogue got that, at least the part where he was overly fond of Garcia. It did make her curious as to their relationship as a whole, but she knew Derek wasn't crazy about oversharing so she didn't mention it.

"Oh, I'm just dispatch. I don't patrol anything. I just sorta send everybody out and make sure there's not a problem comin' up on the monitors, but I do know Kitty." She tossed another punch at his palm, hesitating in her words a moment. "Back home, Kitty is my best friend. Here...I always sorta get the impression I'm disappointin' her 'cause I ain't like the Rogue she knows in her world."
