I look in the mirror and notice so many blackheads developing on my nose. What's wrong with me? Am I using enough astringent?
I meet up with aunt Shanice and my cousins in the dining room and Soldier is facetiming us.
I overhear him saying, "Meh, I don't trust any chicken place that's closed on Sunday. It's super overrated so badly anyway. Now I know you guys will be gone for awhile and sorry McCree but you have to admit you mooning the cop was so funny! Oh, yeah, don't bring Overwatch's junior league with you this time, for it is way too dangerous!"
I go into the living room and Mercy's using Ashley's stunt stand while Ashley looks at her phone surprised. "I can't believe it I never had to correct you once!"
Mercy steps off the stand smiling, "You know I used to be a cheer flyer myself."
"I remember the video you showed me where your team won a world tournament!"
Oh, right, Overwatch training starts soon. Me and Ashley go into the car.
I glumly stare at out the window, the jacarandas in full bloom. Me Ashley Shauna and Jacob are on Houseparty until we reach training.
The room looks so much like a cheer gym, with mats, equipment, and springy floors. Mirrors line the walls. Gosh I feel so bad for Carlos he gets reminded of how fat he is. I hope I never get that big.
We walk down the hall and Ashley whispers to me, "Hey look at Rein and Soldier arguing."
We stand in the doorway and Soldier tells Reinhart, "Ana is soooo in love with me I can just tell .Like have you ever noticed how she acts with me and not you? You're just jealous because she's always loved me more than you."
Rein ask why and Soldier says, "Because I'm hotter than you and she's always liked me more."
Rein then says, "Oh yeah I keep everyone safe and I'm funny!"
"Yeah well I'm the boss and you're just a dumb goofy airhead with a shield!"
Rein's voice gets louder as he glares at Soldier putting his hands on his hips. "Excuse me? Remember the time I saved everyone from all those rockets? And Ana said I look absolutely beautiful in my famous poster! Get it, AB-solutely because my abs are so hot?"
Soldier crosses his arms, smiling super confidently, "Remember when I killed 3 Bastions? Our squad loved me so much that day."
Rein's eyes narrows and his mouth thins, putting his face closer to Soldier's, "Oh yeah I killed 5 Bastions and took everyone out for pizza!"
Rein closes his eyes looking up. "I have the iPhone 99 you know."
Soldier lets out a condescending ha and says to Rein, "How are you so far behind? I have the iPhone 100"
Reinhart shoots meanness at him with his eyes turning away from Soldier, "Oh yeah you like James Charles don't you?"
Soldier blushes while smiling and says, "You're so right, I do."
They look at us blushing. Soldier nervously says scratching the back of his head, "You didn't see anything! We cleaned the mats so get ready for training! We were just talking about training methods, yeah that's it."
Don't worry Soldier I didn't hear anything, even though I totally did!
Mat cleaner has a weird smell compared to other cleaners, I really don't know why.
I fistbump Abby Carlos Trang and Jacob and we get ready to train.
Soldier blows his whistle and says, "Okay you guys listen up! We're starting with dodging practice!"
He fires at us and we run away. Carlos falls and rolls huffing.
Soldier tells him, "Get up fatty!"
Soldier blows his whistle and yells, "Okay you guys will be paired off and spar against each other. Technique will be judged."
Ashley and Carlos are up to fight. Carlos tries using his fire but Ashley front tucks and spinning kicks him from the peak of her jump and he rolls backward.
Rein then tells him, "You aren't expected to beat her you can still at least try resisting!"
Carlos says, "I can't! I just can't! She's too quick and knows how to avoid my fire!"
Me and Jacob spar now. Jacob makes ice and slides but I dodge the ice beams. I get in close enough but I'm slowed from Jacob's ice spray. Jeez it's worse than a 7-Eleven air conditioner it's so cold!
I speed myself to hit my head under his ribs but he freezes me so it's a tie.
Soldier does one loud clap, "Good work Jacob."
Jacob cockily smirks, "If you think that's my best you haven't seen anything yet!
Jacob swirls so much cold over him but it falls back down.
Woah Ashley looks so cool glowing purple like that! I just glow a weird green.
Soldier tells her, "Okay, you know that throwy knife attack you have? Try it."
Uh oh we drop and roll so she doesn't crash into us.
She nervously yells, "I can't aim like this!"
We dodge her laser knives. She whizzes over our heads then flies towards the ceiling.
Soldier then tells her, "Maybe you should start slower."
She powers down to catch her breath.
I drink from my water bottle and after a 10 minute break watch Ashley and Trang fight.
Reinhart tells her, "Now remember Ashley, you're way shorter than him so fight close. Feet and knees hitting you hurt way more than thighs hitting but try not getting hit okay?"
They nod together and Trang says like he's trying to stay calm, "If...if I win then we'll practice our instruments longer okay?"
Trang glows orange. Ashley avoids his orange whip, but Trang fakes her out and now it's like they're both muggles!
Ashley stares fiercely then runs forward fast but carefully. She stays a little out of his range so she can get closer after Trang whiffs a move.
Soldier yells to Trang, "You're not faster than her!"
Trang is fighting reserved, he knows us so well. That's the downside to training with the same people all the time, they know you too well and expect what you'd probably do so you need to do something different.
She gets closer but she ducks his hand then turns to him punching him under his ribs but he blocks as blocking a punch is still easier than landing one. He's trying to back away but my sister keeps moving with him and she tries punching his stomach but knows he'd try grabbing her wrist so she turns her left fist into the spot between his ribs and hips. She then punches his ribs left right left right really fast then kicks him 3 inches above the knee on the back of his thigh.
Trang and Ashley shake hands.
Reinhart smiles telling me, "Winston taught you guys well didn't he?"
"Yeah but Abby's still better than us."
Trang says, "Wow that was tough! Why can't I get a cool power instead of just knocking magic out for awhile?"
Me and Carlos now train verse each other. The mats are special so his fire won't burn them.
He magically rolls out fire and I sidestep it getting closer to him. He tries the same but I speed myself for as long as I can, so 4 seconds. He stands wide and I try getting him to push me but he says, "I'm not stupid you know."
Uh oh, he knows I'm waiting to counter so I go in and we exchange punches. He doesn't feel as much pain because his fat protects him. He tries grabbing my shoulders and I sidestep but he rushes towards me and we fall to the mat together. We laugh after we fall to the mat together.
Carlos flosses but I roll my eyes at him. He says, "I guess you could say we're on fire!"
He rubs his belly looking at the fridge on the other side of the gym and excitedly says, "I'm starving!"
He runs towards the fridge but Rein stops him.
"Aww but I'm hungry!"
Oh Carlos, you're always hungry!
Soldier blows his whistle. "Next up Shauna verse Abby!"
They shake hands and Abby tells Shauna, "I don't get it why can't you tutor me instead?"
"I wish I could but you know how school is."
Abby knows Shauna can make a magic shield that makes her stronger so Shauna fools her into doing a big attack then Shauna glows teal and after 6 minutes knocks Abby to the ground.
Shauna pulls Abby up but Abby hides her face behind her hands. She sits down and I sit with her. She's crying.
Abby tells me, "I never lose I don't get it!"
I look into her eyes and tell her, "You did great! You usually beat all of us. You're worried about failing out of the soccer team aren't you?"
She shakes her head yes. "Not only that but Shauna and the rest of us are learning from each other. She knows you're such an amazing fighter but she's also really smart so."
Shauna sits with us putting her hand on Abby's knee. "No matter what happens I'll always be your friend and we'll always be a team. I know I only won because you're too worried about finals. I know how much being on the soccer team means to you."
Uh oh it's Isabella's mom. Soldier tells her to train with Ashley. It's been awhile since her match with Trang so she has her magic back.
Mia uses telekinesis to grab Ashley and she can't escape! My poor sister, I can't stand seeing her like this please escape!
Mia calmly says, "Having trouble?"
Soldier yells, "You're hurting her stop it already!"
Mia smiles and insincerely says, "Oh, sorry!"
Then she scowls glaring at my sister. What did she ever do to you? Izzy was mean to her first.
If only we could keep up with the grownups.
I hear metal footsteps in the hallway and the door opens and it's...Zenyatta!
"Hello everyone. Talon just keeps getting stronger and stronger so we must also get stronger!"
He spars with Rein and Rein tries charging him but Zen calmly stops him with his palms out.
Rein says, "Ugh, you were lucky you cheating nutcracker!"
They armwrestle but Zenyatta easily wins. He says, "You may be wearing steel, but I am steel!"
Rein shakes his hand, "Sorry I called you those names. It's just me and Jack were arguing earlier and..."
Zen pats him on the arm, "I forgive you don't worry."
He sits, and after awhile he lifts himself with his mind!
Zenyatta is going to watch us punch and kick so he can correct our form.
Soldier says, "Isn't he just amazing? Genji introduced him to us. And he requested we..."
Soldier presses a button and a turret activates. Zenyatta senses the bullet so he turns catching it then he catches another one.
Zenyatta floats, "When you have enlightenment anything is possible."
Oh, my gosh Zen is so cool!
After training we all go out to eat and my aunt and cousins are back at the house.
Maurice says, "Hey how was your time with Uncle Jack!"
Jack Morrison or Soldier 76 is just like an uncle to me and my cousins. He's always been there for us whenever we needed him. I hope we didn't let him down during our training.
"You wouldn't believe what happened! Shauna defeated Abby because she out thought her."
"Abby's your sporty friend isn't she?"
"You could say that again! She's afraid she won't make the soccer team next year because of her GPA and you wouldn't believe who's tutoring her, Ryan."
Jamal's eyes widen and he shakes his head really fast blinking, "Ryan? The Ryan you keep telling me is a mean bully?"
"Yeah, him.
