The large gym was in the underground basement, it held a in-ground swimming pool, a weight lifting gym, the lab, and all their equipment that everyone used on their daily patrol. It was cold but that was the nice thing about the gym, if anyone working out started sweating the coldness of the basement would help them cool down, Deunan somehow always had energy to burn, but that was because no matter what time of day it was she always felt guilty for the outcome of the fight they had put up. Looking around finding that she had the whole place to herself,

"Hmm, nice, empty, and awkwardly silent, but we can fix that," Deunan pulling out a see through card, it was almost like a credit card and walked over to the music player in the wall and slid it in the slot, the basement was filled with her workout music, music that everyone found very distasteful, except for Briareos and Tereus, but the basement was soundproof, no music could be heard anywhere else except for the basement. Turning the music up to drown her thoughts of Briareos though it never help very much because she still wore the analog watch that Briareos had given to her, she started her laps around the gym's upper level, she had gotten her mile down a couple seconds but that didn't satisfy her and she would push herself till she had shaved at least 3 minutes off her time. Yoshitsune, the lab tech and the tech for the machines that E.S.W.A.T used everyday was close to Deunan, they were like brother and sister but he had waited for Deunan to come to him and talk, two months he waited but she never came to him. Slowly Yoshitsune walked into the gym and saw her pushing herself, he knew that anywhere, guilt, from the way that she was running he could tell that she had a lot of it. Walking over to the music player he pushed a button on the wall stopping the awful music, Deunan stopped running, she leaned on the railing, her eyes caught Yoshitsune,

"What the hell are you doing in here?" Deunan smirked,

"Deunan, come down here, we need to talk," Yoshitsune shouted. Deunan knew she couldn't escape from Yoshitsune very long, she sighed and perched herself up on the railing.

"Not that way, you'll break your neck!" Yoshitsune shouted, but it was too late Deunan jumped and did her flips and landed in front of him, slowly Deunan stood up,

"What did you want to talk about?" Deunan knowing exactly what was on his mind.

"You haven't came and seen me," Yoshitsune hugging her, she hugged him back,

"I've been meaning to actually but I've been a bit busy trying to get my performance up, now that I lost…" Deunan being interrupted,

"Its alright Deunan, is there anything that I can do?" Yoshitsune strongly. Deunan thought for a minute,

"Actually, there's something you might can do for me, have you ever experienced something so horrible that you have a reoccurring dream about it?" Deunan asked.

"You haven't slept very much, have you?" Yoshitsune seeing the faint rings around her eyes,

"How can I when I just left him up there, I blame myself for not bringing him back with us, I need something to help me sleep," Deunan rubbing her face.

"There's something that might help, it helps me but you will have to sleep here in the lab every night so you can be monitored," Yoshitsune explained.

"So it works," Deunan not knowing if it would help her any, but she was willing to try,

"I sleep like a baby, its worth trying Deunan," Yoshitsune shrugged,

"Can you show me the set up?" Deunan asked, Yoshitsune saw Tereus walk in, he nodded his head.

"Sure, but um, I think you had better talk to someone first, just come to the lab when you get done talking, I'll be there," Yoshitsune explained, Deunan glanced behind her, seeing it was Tereus her eyes quickly diverted away from him, she wasn't able to look at him even.

"Alright, see you in a few," Deunan turning around to Yoshitsune,

"Talk to him Deunan, he is your partner now, and whether or not you like that fact you to have to accept it, he is made from Briareos, he is worried about you too," Yoshitsune rubbing her hand as he whispered to her. Deunan stared at Yoshitsune, she knew he was right and after all Tereus did get her out of Halcon alive. Yoshitsune nodded and let go of her hand and walked away, Tereus in return started walking towards Deunan but she didn't turn around,

"You want to spar with me?" Tereus stopped right behind her, Deunan turned her head to the side, she hesitated and took a deep breath.

"Sure," Deunan not having the heart to open up to him, Tereus got up in the sparing ring and held his hand out for her to take, Deunan stared at his hand and placed her hand in his, he helped her in the ring, they started sparing, Tereus knew she was holding back, she acted weak in front of Tereus, he had gave her a kick to the stomach, now she was on the mat. Tereus bent down,

"Deunan, stop holding back, don't be afraid to give me everything you got, I can take it," Tereus explained, Deunan didn't move, her thoughts were getting to her, she wanted to curl into a ball, Tereus smacked the mat.

"Get up Deunan, get up, you still blame me from taking you away from Briareos and leaving him there, so get up, take your guilt out on me, if you let it fester and swell inside you, it will kill you," Tereus screamed at her. Deunan hesitated and finally jumped up in the air and did a swirling kick and kicked Tereus in the mouth, he flew across the mat, landing on his back, it felt good, Tereus laughed a little as he stood up.

"Come on, I know you got more in you Deunan," Tereus making her fight him, Deunan and Tereus kept fighting, soon they had several of the squad gathering around them watching and more importantly the boss was watching, Tereus fought her giving her everything that he had, Deunan had rage rushing in her body giving her the strength to give Tereus everything that she had also, her fighting style exactly like Briareos'. Tereus managed to trip her up, she landed on her back, she was out of breath, Tereus walked over,

"That was good, come on lets hit the showers," Tereus bending down and reaching out a hand to help her stand, Deunan smirked and closed her eyes and spun around on her back till she had pinned him down on his stomach and she flipped him over on his back and straddled him holding him down, everyone cheered and laughed, the boss even smirked. Tereus smiled up at Deunan, she still hadn't caught her breath, she gave him a small smile and got up,

"Thanks, Tereus, you know for what you did for me up there," Deunan turning her head to the side, Tereus' mouth almost dropped open,

~She talked, she hasn't talked to me in months.~ Tereus trying to stand up, he had the help of the ring's side to stand, he watched her get patted on the back and the guys praising her for beating the shit of him, he couldn't help but smile a little. There was a whistle and the room was quiet all of a sudden,

"I have an announcement, we have located Briareos' body," the boss explained. Tereus jumped out of the ring, he had to find Deunan, he knew she wouldn't take it too well, but when he finally pushed through the crowd he found her heading to the pool, he stared at her till she was out of sight, then followed.
