Hey everyone I'm sorry for the delay in getting these up! I've been working on my two Avengers stories that I got sidetracked. Anyways, this little one-shot came to me while I was watching X-Men Origins Wolverine; mainly the part where Logan and Dukes are in the boxing ring. I'm going to shut my mouth now before I spoil it! Oh and I just saw the Dark Knight Rises yesterday and I have an idea for a sequel! Not sure when it will be out yet.

This first one ties in with Ravenmore45's request! Hope you all enjoy!

Warning: These will all be complete crack, spontaneous, and quite possibly ridiculous. If you don't like them then don't bother reading. Also, any and all flames will be deleted. It is one thing to give constructive criticism, but purposely badgering another writer's work is downright cruel.

Bruce stood on one end of the boxing ring while Makenna was across from him. How Makenna had managed to buy a boxing ring was beyond him. Makenna had her arms raised in front of her in a blocking position, the black gloves slightly hiding her face. Bruce took a similar stance but didn't move forward to attack.

"Come on Bruce, hit me." Makenna taunted with a devilish smile. Bruce didn't budge. Makenna scowled and lowered her arms.

"For Pete's sake you have to be kidding me!" she exclaimed glaring at him. Makenna side stepped Bruce's punch just in time. Bruce landed against the ropes and turned around to face Makenna. Her gloved hands rested on her hips as she stared at him.

"I've taught you better than that. Now hit me." She ordered taking a stance. Bruce glared and went on the offensive. Punch after punch he had failed to land a direct hit. Makenna dodged, ducked and blocked each of his punches. He leaned against the ropes breathing hard while watching Makenna. She stood still and not even out of breath.

"This is torture you know?" he wheezed.

"Is it? Training isn't supposed to be easy you know." She countered. "Analyze your opponent before attacking. Attacking blindly will be your downfall, I should know."

Bruce raised an eyebrow in question as he continued to gasp for air. He opened his mouth to ask what she meant, but Makenna sent a punch flying to his gut. Bruce rolled out of the way and quickly got to his feet as he blocked another punch. Makenna alternated between her left and right hand as she threw punch after punch and the random kick at Bruce. His defense was good but it could be better. She saw an opening and took it sending Bruce flying to the mat.

"You are leaving yourself exposed and you're movements are too slow. Let's start from the beginning with jabs."

Bruce looked up at her holding onto his right side. He was surprised by the force of Makenna's punch as he lay on the boxing mat. Makenna waited for Bruce to stand up before demonstrating a proper jab. After Makenna watched Bruce threw a few jabs she was satisfied and moved on to footwork.

"When fighting an opponent you don't want to lose balance, especially against someone equally strong or stronger than you then its game over. Your side stepping is fine but moving forward and back needs work." Makenna said standing in front of him. Bruce scrutinized unsure of what she had planned for him next. Makenna threw at jab at Bruce who successfully sidestepped, but stumbled backwards when she turned toward him.

"Have you seen any of the Rocky movies?" she asked.

"All of them why?" Bruce asked.

"I want you to think back to Rocky's training routine in Russia. Now when you have that pictured I want you to execute it. Alright?"

"Alright."

~M~

Makenna smiled in glee as Bruce executed everything perfectly. She is a better teacher than she previously thought. Bruce was currently shadow boxing while Makenna stood outside of the ring watching. He felt himself moving faster with each jab, sidestep, and forward and backward dodging. Bruce stopped after throwing one last jab at his invisible opponent when he heard clapping. He glanced to his right and saw Makenna smiling.

"Perfect! I knew you could do it!" she cheered. Bruce smirked and climbed out of the ring.

"I did train with the League of Shadows you know." He said pulling off the gloves. Makenna grinned and crossed her arms over her chest.

"That doesn't mean you're the world's top second ranked fighter. They trained you in the way of ninjutsu.

"Wait world's top second ranked fighter?" Bruce asked eyeing her.

"Uh…yeah." Makenna replied quirking an eyebrow. Bruce's trademark smirk appeared on his face further confusing Makenna.

"I must say it's impressive that someone has been able to defeat you. Now I understand how you're an amazing fighter. It's a good thing you're on my side." Bruce said smirking. Makenna started at him with a blank expression.

"I'm going to act like I didn't hear you say that first sentence." She said turning around and walking away. Bruce's smirk fell as Makenna made her way to the lift. He quickly caught up to her and walked beside her.

"Makenna I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you it's just that…" Bruce began to apologize when Makenna started snickering.

"Bruce I was only joking. I wanted to see what you would do and see if my acting skills were still good. Apparently they are if I could fool you." Makenna snickered at the priceless look on Bruce's face. He went to grab Makenna but she turned around and sped off toward the lift as Bruce chased after her. When she stepped foot on the lift it began ascending before Bruce could get her.

"Maybe next time honeybuns!" she said disappearing.


And that's a wrap for this one! I'm going to continue working on the rest of everyone's requests today and hopefully have them posted later today! Let me know what you think and if you have any requests! :D
