Wow the last impasse I was at like this was chapter seven. I don't know what to do for this chapter oh well here goes. GAH! I want to go back to sleep, but it's 11am. Also, how did 51 end? Lol I fail. Did you know that with out the 'n' in 'violent' it spells 'violet'?
After the two had spoke in the hall about Snakes fears they had to part because General Hawk had came and told Snake Eyes that he had training duty. As soon as Snake Eyes was out of sight and hearing Hawk was no longer the General Hawk but was Uncle Hawk. And he sat down right next to her. "How is he treating you? Good I hope." It took Avery a moment to realize that Hawk was trying to become part of her life. He was attempting to find out more about her.
"Wanna talk about this over lunch? That way you could prepare yourself for all the good news, and I can work up the will to answer everything." For another time that day Avery gave off a lopsided grin. A feeling that was telling her that this was not the last time that she would give this funny smile today settled into her stomach. Hawk looked relieved that he would have a few more hours to prepare himself. Nodding he stood up and walked off down to his office.
Avery sat there for several more minutes before she stood up to go exploring. Her mind became distracted when she entered the training room and saw Snake Eyes. Watching for a moment she thought about the difference in her strength and his. She got a feeling that he thought she was weak and wanted to prove herself. Now she knew there was no way in hell that she beat him but she could defend her self better than these fools. So she walked up to the front of the training group. When Snake Eyes saw her he quickly finished the kid in front of him. Well a kid compared to Snakes.
He signed to her. "Um well I wanted a match with yo-" The quick and violent shake of his head rejected her. "That's not fair, you won't give me a chance." What he signed to her angered her a bit but she pushed the emotion away. "I do have a chance. Just let me prove it to you." Still he shook his head. A plan formed in her mind and she let a sad look flow onto her face. Her eyes were big and watering a bit, her mouth was in a bit of a frown, and she looked sad over all. Snake Eyes didn't like it. The look she was giving him tore at his hearts string. Giving in he motioned to the boy holding one of the electrified staffs to toss it to Avery.
Once the weapon was in her hands her eyes lit up. She smiled gratefully at Snake Eyes and he realized just how much she felt that she needed to fight him Neither knew that much about the others strengths or weaknesses so both stayed at a distance. Avery had little patience compared to Snake Eyes, but she knew enough about him that that was one of the things that he used to his advantage. It took several minutes before either moved. And to everyones surprise it was Snakes that attacked first. Avery blocked with her staff and looked him in the eyes. "You have to actually try Snakes. Or I'll never know." He finally saw what she was doing. She was trying to see how long in a fight she might survive until he could save her. Avery was trying to see if it would be an immediate death or if she could make it long enough for him to be her hero.
Nodding he got serious. Not wanting to disappoint she too got into a serious position. The fight was not one that had been anticipated but had came out with a good response. At first Snakes had done all of the attacking and Avery had blocked nearly all of them. But when he sent a jab at her stomach she had not anticipated that and has no defense for it. She had flown back quite a bit but managed to land on her feet. "Hold on a moment." Lifting her shit to look at her stomach she flinched a bit. "Wow, ya got me good." Laughing she raced back into the fight. And this time she was on the offensive.
He would block her attacks for a bit then he himself would attack. But what he didn't expect was her defense to be dodges with attacks hooked onto the ends. One combo had been after he had went to hit her she ducked as her defense then she went to jab him with the staff. He dodged in time to not get hit by that but as her jab missed she tossed the staff away and jumped at him. Easily he could have dodged but he didn't. They ended up with him laying on the floor and her on top. Only now did she notice he had his mission clothes on. The flexible rubber top, his cloth pants, and the fucking visor she hated. "You let me win." This was a statement not a question but still he nodded. "Oh well. I got what I wanted." That confused him. "I guess I can last in a fight for awhile. And now I know..." She got up off of him and turned to leave. Winking she said three words that made him want it to be 'later'. "See you later."
Then she was gone and he was left with a want no one but her could fix. So instead he took his sexual frustration out in the form of beating his students asses. If they had no chance of laying a hit on him before then there was no way in hell any of them would make it today. By the time the training as over he just ached more and all of the students were in a world of pain. At the moment he didn't care. It was now lunch time and he was hungry for something wasn't food.
He searched for Avery but she had disappeared yet again. After checking nearly everywhere he thought of one place he hadn't checked. When he arrived outside of Hawk office he could hear mumbled and stuttered words from Avery and gruff questions from Hawk. Knowing that he probably wouldn't get to speak with Avery for awhile yet, he went to the normal place they would meet, the rec. room. It took over an hour for Avery to be released from Hawk's grip. And it seemed the first place she had went was right where he was. She saw him and turned a brilliant red.
