![]() You keep training with Ortega, and you’re surprised to find he’s a really fast learner, taking in the basic moves much faster than you expected. Then Anathema joins in, and they both practice together for a while before he heads towards the treadmills. You gon on explain the move, letting him do it on you a few times slowly. “This time I’ll show you the actual throw” “Let’s try again!” you say with a mischievous grin. “… how many martial arts do you know?” Ortega asks as he takes your offered arm and stands up. “Hey, that wasn’t the Psycopathor throw!” Anathema points out. He looks completely confused as he lies down on the matt. You deflect him with an inner forearm block, immediately pulling his arm around with a circular motion as you move in, shoving your back against his chest as fast as you can, grab him by the shoulder, and then simply tip him over using his own impulse. On the other hand, his posture is sloppy, the attack reckless and his movements careless. ![]() Really really fast, very strong, and you can’t read his mind. Let’s see how that holds up!” he charges at you. “It’d be your funeral if you did” you grin. “We’ll see about that,” you say as you motion for him to come closer. But my Mom’s home meals in that fridge, are off bounds, you monster!” “You know the fight with Steel I’ll have about that?” And I get free energy drinks from the fridge. If I do this, I get to use this training room whenever I want. “Maybe I can teach you a thing or two as well!” he says, the smile still stuck to his lips. “Sort of good? Losing?” You say, venom dripping from your lips “You know what? Maybe I can teach you that throw right now.” But it’s ok, you’re sort of good with martial arts, and it’s probably easier to train with someone with your same build, losing’s not fun after all” “Well, I don’t know… You’ve been training with Anathema a lot, but you always leave when I come down here. “Who said I’m not confident in my combat skill?! You turn to face him again, your lips moving before your brain has time to process. “Oh, I understand… I mean, I get it, if you’re not confident in your combat skill enough to teach me just because I’m stronger or faster than you then you don’t need to….” “I don’t know… It’s getting late“ you say, though there’s no one else for you to be right now. “So teach me” he grins confidently, facing you.

Also, lots of people who need to be tossed around. “What do you think you’re doing?” you ask “That’s not fair!” he says turning to you, and stepping into the combat training matts the two of you assembled “He just taught me the throw he did on Psycopathor!” Anathema answers excitedly.

The closest was learning with Nathaniel but he never really saw you as an equal. You always loved training, but you’ve never done this with an actual friend. “Fair point” you laugh taking a water bottle from the fridge. “Well, it was me doing all the job! I was the one learning the throw, remember? All you had to do was fall flat on your ass” “Oh you’re the one tired?” you say smiling. “I need to take a break,” he says heading for the large couch by the pool. Or perhaps you just enjoy taking a break from being suspicious of everyone and everything. ![]() That should make him dangerous in your book but it’s actually the other way around. There’s something in his mind that inspires safety. It’s weird but you never feel uncomfortable when he’s around. That’s why we’re using a matt”Īnathema extends a hand to you, smiling broadly. “Darn are you ok?” he says turning to you “Of course you did” you grin weakly “Ouch” You gasp for breath, lying motionless on the ground.
