I don't understand…" Scarlet let the ball roll off her fingers.

"About what?" Wanda asked picking up her ball.

"This whole mentor system, we are a little old to be baby sat." I sighed as all the pins toppled over. She jumped and the air then turned back to me.

"I guess I can't blame them...Imagine Mckinley unsupervised." Scarlett shrugged and went back to the couch

"True, but…" Ashlyn tried to join the conversation, looking over her shoulder. She was actively trying to avoid her roommate as the sudden addition of two more romances had seemed to have made him a little more active in his years long pursuit.

"Guys this is getting boring," Wanda sighed so far we had all gotten strikes, it was slightly a hearing that we were all using our powers

"Yeah, I wonder if Flint is done with dinner?" I asked

"I hope he makes good barbecue." Ashlyn licked her lips.

"Barbecue is so delicious…" Thomas licked his lips

"No one asked for your opinion Tommy" Ashlyn snapped

"Harsh," winced Amanda

"Thank you Amanda!" He smiled.

I sighed the training center was the cool place. The base consisted of three larger buildings. There was the main building that was on the furthest edge it was a modern three story building. The rooms were upstairs part. The basement held the briefing room and a small loft room that overlooked the entire place. The kitchen and living room were all on the first floor along with the weapon/suit storage. From the basement there was an underground tunnel that you could take on hot days to the training center. The training center was the furthest west building. It resembled a small Avengers tower. Now this was the cool building. It had a gymnasium, locker room, five training simulators, an indoor aquatics facility, a weight room, an agility room, a bowling alley, a digital library, a screening room, a medical facility, a mini aquarium, and multiple sparing rooms. Best of all, all of them were sound proof, which allowed Scarlet to train. Scarlet sat down beside me.

"I am done bowling," She whined and leaned back into her seat. Her hands were rubbing together nervously.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"I don't know Dima it is just...I don't know everything is so confusing." She pouted

"Are you okay?" She wheeled around kissed me hard on the lips.

"Much better," Her body relaxed and I pulled her close. The bowling alley smelled like lemon cleaner a pleasant smell to me it reminded me of the halls before we came here where Scar and I first met. The rest of it was all different. Loud jeering and cries of disappointment rang out through the empty room. My the air conditioning vent was right above us blasting my neck. It felt amazing being that the tropical weather outside felt like a three thousand pound weight. Scarlet shivered she felt every temperature more severally.

"You need a jacket Scarlet?" I asked cautiously

"No, but can you walk me back, I am tired." She whined. I stood up and offered up my arm. She gladly took hold and we returned to our rooms. The smell of barbecue filled HQ and my mouth instantly began to water but Scarlett had lost her appetite I was worried she was getting sick or something.

"Hey Flint!" I smiled walking down stairs.

"Hey Dimitri, you ready for food?" He wore a floral apron and had a smile on his face. His cheeks were red from the heat of the kitchen.

"Yes, gimme!" I smiled and allowed him to serve me up some of his delicious smelling BBQ.

"I am glad you are excited," He laughed. I wondered where Nat was. she was usually right beside him. He looked at me carefully. "Nat and I are going to train more later she is preparing and reading mission briefings in the simulators, she already ate." He put the food back into the oven.

"Oh so she takes this really seriously?" I questioned

"We both do." He smiled slightly. I noticed he was dressed in workout entire.

"So Nat likes this training thing?"

"Nat likes being an assassin." he shrugged again.

"What's bugging you?" I asked plainly

"Nat's not eating…" He paused for a second and looked at me. "When we first started working together Nat was about 160-170 pounds. Sarah and Granger our instructors thought it was bad and that to properly add to the team she needed to loose at the least 20 pounds so in short they starved her, it started with taking away one meal then two, then all, soon she was eating pretty close to nothing back then I didn't like Nat we didn't get along so I didn't care. Then she shed about 30 pounds and had reached their desired weight. Ever since then she is really hyper vigilant if she ever gets above 145 she flips out and stops eating again." He sighed "Not like I care about how much she weighs she is still my Nat you know, I just, I don't want her to starve." He muttered. I looked at him carefully. He cared too much about everyone and it was a very a good thing.

"Well, I don't think she'll starve, I agree that it is not healthy but, I think she will be fine," I shrugged what else was I supposed to say.

"Yeah, but hey how was bowling," He shook it off just like that and got back on his feet. It was easy for him.

"Fun but everyone used their powers,"

"Hey, Flint," Nat walked up to him placing her hand gently onto his chest.

"What's up babe?" He looked at her.

"We got a mission!" She said in joy.

"Okay will you please eat a hush puppy." He waved one near her mouth.

"Fine, you win this one," She bit it and pulled out a chair. The night swept by fun and unproductive energy.
