"So…Benny, why did you take me to Central Park again?" Nicole asked.

The Sniper grinned. "You'll find out, mate."

It was a bright and cloudy afternoon out in the park. Benny and Nicole stood across from a ringed target set. Benny held a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other.

Nicole looked over at the target that was ten feet away. "So…what's with the target?"

"Well, Shelia, I'm gonna teach you all about archery." Benny explained.

"But I've tried that at a camp several years ago." Nicole said.

One of Benny's eyebrows rose. "Did ya actually hit the bull's-eye?" he asked.

With a sigh, Nicole shook her head. "No…"

"Did you even hit the target at all?"

Nicole shrugged her shoulders. "I can't remember that much of it."

Benny chuckled. "Don't worry, mate, I'm gonna help ya get better at archery with my Huntsman." he held the bow up to Nicole. "Go on, take it."

Reluctantly, Nicole took the Huntsman. "This is kind of cool!"

"Here," Benny gave the arrow to Nicole. "you're going to need this too."

Nicole grabbed the arrow gently. "Yeah, thanks." she smiled sheepishly.

"Do you know how to aim correctly?" Benny asked.

"Kind of…" Nicole replied, as she put the arrow and bow together, holding the Huntsman with her left hand. She pulled the string towards her face with a slightly bent arm, pointing the arrow at the target. "Like this, right?"

"Nah, mate, you're doing it wrong." Benny came up to Nicole. "Pull your arm back a little more." he grabbed her arm and pulled it back a little.

Nicole nodded in understanding. "Okay, got it!"

"Now move the bow up some." Benny took the arm of the Huntsman and lifted it a few inches.

Nicole nodded again. "Alright."

"Now, since you're apparently right-eye dominant, I want ya to aim for the target with your right eye."

"Oh, uh, okay…" Nicole frowned.

"What's wrong?" Benny asked, giving Nicole a concerned looked.

"Well, I'm not a good at aiming in situations like this. I'm much better in video games…Besides, are you sure that it will be alright to be doing archery in the middle of Central Park?"

"Well, Shelia, I don't know about that first one with those game videos, but I'm absolutely positive that it'll be alright. I don't see anyone else, do you?"

Nicole glanced around. "No…not really."

"Then you have nothing to worry, about mate. Alright," Benny continued, "aim with your right eye. Focus on that target and go for the bull's-eye."

"I'll try…" Nicole responded with little confidence. Her drawing hand released the string, sending the arrow flying. But it only went a few feet before diving into the grass.

"Eh…I guess a distance of two feet isn't a bad start. But you'll get there." Benny said.

Nicole sighed. "I knew that I was going to suck on my first try." she groaned, heading to retrieve the arrow.

Benny frowned. "What kind of shonkey attitude is that?"

Nicole walked over to the Sniper. "What do you mean?"

"Come on, mate, don't discourage yourself. That's a terrible habit, and it won't get you anywhere, that's for sure. How do you think I survived in the Outback all by myself for months?"

Nicole blinked in surprise. "With an opportunist's attitude, right?" she guessed.

"Precisely that, Shelia," Benny nodded. "and I want you to learn from your mistakes and keep going. Now, do you know what you did wrong?" he questioned.

Nicole thought for a moment. "My…posture wasn't right…?"

"Good thinking! Try fixing your posture and see if it helps." Benny advised.

Nicole nodded as she spread her feet out a little bit and faced the target. She put the arrow back in its place before pulling the string to her face again. Nicole stood straighter than before and more erect. "Is this good, Benny?"

Benny gave her a curt nod. "Nice one, mate!"

Nicole smiled. "Thanks, but I don't I'll do any better…" she released the string. The arrow flew across the field, hitting the target at its edge.

"Well done! That was a fine improvement, mate!" Benny clapped.

Nicole smiled. "Hey! I guess that was a little better…"

Benny took another arrow from the case strapped on to his back. "Take this arrow, it saves more time."

Nicole took the arrow and put it with the Huntsman. "So, what's the point of this, anyway?" she asked.

"I think ya need to learn how to use weapons, since you're with us. Besides, I'm trying to see what weapon you're best at."

Nicole scoffed. "At least I'm better using at archery than with a sniper rifle."

Benny laughed, replaying Nicole's sniper failure back at the Badlands in his mind. "That's a good point. But try again, and try to hit the bull's-eye this time!"

Nicole repositioned herself to the proper stance. Her eyes narrowed, focusing on the center of the target. She pulled the string back a bit further than before, aimed the arrow with as much precision as possible. "Focus…" she said to herself quietly, "Focus…" she let go of the string. The arrow almost zoomed horizontally, piecing the target. Nicole cheered as the arrow was nailed at the bull's-eye. "YES! I DID IT! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"

"Superior shot…"

Nicole's pride turned to shock as she turned around to see the RED Spy appear right behind her. "Waah!" she cowered behind the Sniper, still holding on to the Huntsman. "W-What are you doing here?"

Benny frowned. "Holy dooley! You're more jumpy than before, what's up, Shelia?" he asked.

Léon sighed, adjusting his tie. "Isn't she always like that?"

Benny shrugged. "Yeah, she's incredibly paranoid."

Nicole glared up at Benny. "Thanks for telling him that…" she said sarcastically.

Léon smiled. "Don't worry, mademoiselle, I figured that out from the first time I met jou."

Nicole whimpered, hiding behind the safety of the tall Sniper.

"Is there something wrong with ya, mate?" Benny asked with a worried tone.

"What is it that you fear, chéri?" Léon asked, trying to sound concerned.

Nicole remained silent for a while, trying to think of the right thing to say. "It's nothing really, Léon…reminds me of someone."

"Who?" Benny asked.

Léon kept a flat look, watching Nicole very carefully.

Nicole swallowed. "He reminds me of…this really creepy taxi cab driver…"

Benny gave Nicole a confused look. "Really?" he took a quick glance at the Spy before looking back down at Nicole.

Nicole nodded. "Y-Yeah, he kind of does…I don't know why." she smiled shyly at Benny.

Léon frowned, not saying a word. He continued to quietly stare Nicole.

Benny grinned. "How come? Did this driver also have a mask on?" he asked jokingly.

Suddenly, all three began laughing at the comment. Nicole's laugh was rather weak as she tried to play along. She knew that this was completely awkward.

"Chéri, come over here." Léon finally spoke.

With no other choice, Nicole hesitantly made her way towards the Spy.

"You don't have to be afraid of me, my dear," Léon explained, smiling at the girl, "I am a friend, and you can always come to me if you need anything." he placed a gloved hand on her shoulder.

Nicole flinched, but kept a slightly uncomfortable smile. "Umm, sure…" she noticed right away that Léon's smile wasn't real.

"Aww, now ain't that sweet?" Benny smirked, turning away from the two and headed towards the target.

Once the Sniper tuned his back on them, Nicole and Léon's smiles instantly vanished. Léon's hand on her shoulder tightened its grip. The Spy glared at her as Nicole's expression turned to terror. It was hard for her to turn away from his icy stare. Leon's pale eyes locked with Nicole's amber ones, giving her a warning look. Although he said not a single word, Nicole knew exactly what he meant.

Benny took his arrows and headed back to the two. As if on cue, both Léon and Nicole's smiles reappeared. The grip on her shoulder loosened. The Spy hugged her, gently wrapping his arms around her and pulling her towards him.

"I'm always going to be there for you, chéri," Léon whispered in Nicole's ear, "no matter what."

Nicole could feel a slight chill. "T-Thanks…" she said flatly.

"See, Shelia? Léon's a great Spy, isn't he?" Benny rejoined the group.

Nicole slowly nodded. "You have no idea…" she answered, wanting to add more to her statement.
