Micah was following a bit behind the group, writing down metal attributes in his notebook as he walked. "Is there a library?" He asked, if there was, it would be a better chance to compare some metals with ones in books.

"What's all the fuss?" Ceres asked Yang, coming up to her.

"Stop reading my mind!", Yang said harshly. "It's not polite to say the least." She couldn't have people reading her mind all of the time.

"You will see the library very soon. Come along!" Ceres explained, walking past. Mr. Crowley undid his wires so that they could pass through.

"Hey, Mr. Eternal Darkness, can I set up shop in the med tent now?" Ninon asked Darwin, a bit impatient to be left alone so her mind could mull over and process what she had just learned. Not to mention she wanted to explore around the tent and nearby area. Please be some med and creature books somewhere around here…

"~Do as you please.~"

"Great! I'm going to go find the library and some metals, I wanna see if I can make a bomb with some metals with magical properties!" Teddy said happily.

"That's quite awesome!", Yang said. I wonder what his powers are.

Alex walked up to Ceres and Yang confidently, but then stopped. Who did she have to impress? As much as she disliked the whole diplomat gig, Alex could see some positives. "Do we train our powers here, become stronger and all that jazz? Because if I'm stuck being the pathetic little diplomat…"

"Indeed, I will show you to the library, atudy and such…" The Director said, smiling. "Come along!"

Yang followed. "Is this set up like a school or what?"

"Slightly." The Director said, as she led them over to the barracks, which held the same brick and sheetmetal design, but had a trench with pikes planted in, encircling it, and a camera over the door. "Here is your weapons station. You will learn to stab, slash, bludgeon and shoot here, Mr. Walsh being who he is, will aid you." She looked to the other side. "And as such, on this side…" She pointed to the opposite building. "Are the stables where my servants' horses are… You are not to go near there, for unlocking it will reveal their… Erm… Coarser nature…" She added.

Yang nodded to signify she was listing.

Teddy's gaze was transfixed on the door to the weapons area. "Can I go in there? Please?" He asks, screw going to look at books, he could study the metals here.

"After your tour I will set you free…" The Director said.

"Sounds good."

"Anything else I need to know? That interests me specifically? I'm practically sleeping over here." Alex said in the most monotone voice she could possibly muster.

"Well… What did you have in mind?" The Director asked, adjusting her floppy hat.

"What about a gym?", Yang spoke up.

"I will show you…" The sorceress said, walking them over to a long, marble building with thin pillars for support..
"This is the conjoined mass of the library and the study… Our library is stacked full of occult knowledge and general knowledge… Mr. Darwin will be providing lectures in the study."

Yang wanted to look at all the books, but she restrained herself for now. What if these books could teach me magic?

"They can…" Ceres said, reading her mind. "But we are off to the gym."

Alex tried her best to hide the obvious joy on her face at seeing a library. Maybe she could start writing again? No. She has better things to do. What about this gym? Alex can't let her body go, of course. Diplomats with persuasive powers have to be in shape. "Off to the gym it is," She sighs.

Ceres took them all past the library, turning left, into the exercise area, the gym.
"Here we are…"

𝘖𝘰𝘩, 𝘈𝘭𝘦𝘹 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦. She stepped over towards some strange contraptions near the opposite wall.

"Perfect.", Yang said. I won't be singled out for not having powers. I might as well have increased strength and speed.

Tessa whistled appreciatively, looking at the racks of equipment with a small smile on her face. "Man, you guys really didn't skim on funds, did you?"

"Funds? Budget? Everything here was crafted by the combined magical efforts of my boys and I…" Ceres said. "I was a goddess once, and when I created this place I expended the last of my divine power…" She added.

"Uh, that would have been nice to know like five minutes ago," Alex said harshly. Alex looked around at the room and surveyed the people inside.

"You… made all of this?", Yang said, clearly shocked.

"My servants and I, yes." The sorceress said.
The Horsemen bowed, smiling.
