Reino was out on another morning "jog". Well not so much a jog, but endurance, agility, and stamina practice between running, sprinting, and Sonido, but the technical terms don't really matter, and jog was a lot easier for her to say. Using Sonido ate up a lot of her energy when used in a great deal like that, so after using the Arrancars' version of flash step, she leaned backwards and fell onto her back, taking a well-earned rest. Folding her hands behind her head, she indulged in a long exhale while enjoying her break. Soon, the eldest Grantz family member, IlForte, entered her field of view. She sat up so that she could call out to him.

"Oi! IlForte! Onii-san**! She gestured for him to come over to her. "I don't usually see you around these parts at in the morning! What'cha doin'?"

She recalls that this was around the time that she had just learned that her older brother had become Grimmjow's fraccione. At the time, she was happy for her brother for being able to find servitude under the Sexta, and she wondered if she, in the future, would find her own kind of servitude.

"Oh, I had just been woken up early by some noises outside and decided to take a 'leisurely' stroll. I would ask you the same question, but I do know that you are on one of your infamous "morning running sprees"."

Suddenly, she sensed an overwhelming surge of reiatsu, and she could tell that the owner was going into a resurreccion state.

'So powerful even though it's so far away' she thought, noting that reiatsu's power in her mind.

She could tell that IlForte recognized the reiatsu, and he wanted to nothing but leave and move away from the menacing spiritual pressure

"Damn, that's Nnoitora's reiatsu. I don't want to be anywhere near his resurreccion, and I'd advise you to do the same, Rei'. Anyway, I'll catch up with you later!" He began to run off in the direction opposite of the reiatsu.

"Yea, I'll see 'ya!"

Hm, Nnoitora. He was the… 5th Espada, correct? The only time Reino had ever encountered him was once when he was angrily storming the halls, screaming for his fraccione. Tesla, she recalled.

She wanted to see him fight. After all, she's a scientist by nature, right? Scientists are naturally curious, so she wanted to observe his fighting style. Right.

She finally stood up, and began to make her way towards the massive reiatsu. When the tall Espada came into her field of view, all she could do was stare. In his resurreccion form, he grew an extra pair of arms, producing a long scythe for each extra limb. His reiatsu was pouring off of him in bucketfuls, enough to fill an entire ocean from the World of the Living, and compared to him, her reiatsu was a mere puddle. Remembering what she came here for, she began observing him fight. There was no real pattern to his movements, and they all seemed so… in the spur of the moment, as one might say. But yet they were so powerful, so strong and effective while seemingly brash and ill-considered. Fascinating...

After toying with his prey for a while, he finally delivered the finishing blow. She quickly decided that she should leave, since she didn't want to be anywhere near him in that state. Maybe she could continue 'running'. After all, she was still on break. Yes, that is what she would do.

Quickly fleeing the scene, she trained for a few hours, and remembered that she had to finish an autopsy for Szayel. She sighed and started jogging back, though what she considered jogging, others knew it as sprinting. But, that didn't matter, because with her speed, she could do this for hours without even breaking a sweat. While heading back to the lab to continue her work, she noticed the 2 Arrancars known as Loly and Menoly sparring. She leisurely watched them while running, but was so intent on their spar that she didn't even notice the Espada that she was about to run into.

But before she even noticed him, another person pushed him out of harm's way, and ended up stopping Reino in her tracks with a sword at her throat.

"Would you mind explaining yourself? First staring at my master and then nearly running over him?" He adjusted his blade at her throat, urging her to answer the question, or at least make some gesture of acknowledgement. She couldn't see the man restraining her, but she could feel him pointing daggers at her.

"Oi! What the fuck, Tesla?!" completely ignoring her existence for the moment.

"I deeply apologize, Nnoitora-sama." She still felt him pressuring her into responding with his blade.

"Hey, isn't that the chick stalkin' me from when I killed that guy?" Oh no, he recognized her! She kept chanting in her mind like a mantra, this is bad, this is really, really bad!

"Yes, she is." He then moves closer to her ear. "Care to shed some light on the matter?"

She shivered when he whispered in her ear. Not the good kind, but the kind that makes one fear for their life.

"I… ah, ughn…. ngh," she tried to say, wincing as she attempted to form a coherent sentence with a sword at her neck and her heart racing so fast she knew they could easily hear it.

"Che, too scared ta' even talk. Worthless little shit."

She took in a large gulp of air. She would not let anyone make a fool of her! An Espada no less!

"Your fighting style." She said with gusto, still ignoring the blade at her neck. Being able to correctly form a sentence gave her the confidence to continue.

"I was interested. You fight recklessly, yet carefully at the same time. Though nonetheless, very strong, and I wanted to watch you and learn about it."

Though she realized he's probably going to kill you, she awaited his response.

"A'right then, let's fight!"

Tesla stared at him in disbelief, but took the hint and finally let go of her, while she was at more than disbelief. She was in pure shock, terror, happiness, anxiety, curiosity, and indigestion all rolled into one! How in hell did his brain go from "I want to observe you" to "Let's kill each other!"?

"Well? Ya said that ya wanted ta' "observe me" and now ya' get ta' do it up close and personal! Ya' gonna tell me no after stalkin' me?"

He was right, this was the perfect opportunity to study him without risking her life too much, so why not? 'He'll probably try to kill you for watching him earlier' a small voice in her head says.

She ignored her inner pest and drew her sword, entering a fighting stance.

"Ok then, lets fight!"

She Sonido'ed towards him, zigzagging from left to right, even though she could flash behind him without the foreplay, then Sonido'ed behind him and lunged at his side. He could barely react fast enough, and she cut his uniform, cutting close enough to cause just a few drops of blood to drip out his side. She quickly flashed away before he could slash at her. She moved away to a more comfortable distance, and smirked at him. She's never exactly had that much brute strength, but she's always had the best of speed on her side. That, to her, has always been more important than any kind of strength.

"Can't keep up?

He glares and scowls at her. She remembered that Tesla is still watching; she glanced at him. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were full of surprise and anger for her managing to hit his master.

"Hey, look at me when wer' fightin'!"

She turned back to her opponent and resumed a fighting stance, and flashed directly in front of him (without the tedious zigzag) and slashed shallowly at his chest with one of her two daggers, in a direction that forced him move away to the side. But, before he could flash away, she stabbed her sword into the junction between the neck and the shoulder, and as he moved away her sword dragged through his shoulder it hits bone, causing the wound to bleed profusely along with the shallow wound on his chest. He fell onto one knee and stared at her in anger and complete disbelief.

"Well, I wanted to learn about you, not watch myself hit you. So are you going to attack?" She figured he should get a chance to attack before she ended the fight and returned to the lab to finish the autopsy (and have Szayel yell at her for being so late, but who really cares?). It is bad to be cocky with an Espada, though.

He grunted and smirked as he got up off the ground. He ran to her, and swung his sword diagonally at her. She allowed him to get dangerously close, and pretended to look surprised. She then returned to a cocky grin and quickly dodged as a position opened up for her to kick him in the side. She kicked him square in the ribs and pushed off of him with her foot, flipped in the air, and landed gracefully at good distance away from him.

"I doesn't matter how strong you are, or may be. If you can't hit me, and can't dodge me, then, Quinta, I'm sure that I can predict the victor of this fight. Worthless little shit? I think not."

The only reason she could do this much damage was because she was angry at him for trying to label her as a 'worthless little shit'. Anger is a good motivator for her in battle.

They both started running towards each other to attack, and as both of them were about to make climactic contact…

"You have work to do, and I find you playing here? You hurt me so."

Both she and Nnoitora stopped and turned to find the owner of the voice to be none other than Reino's little brother. She started walking towards him, sheathing her dagger.

"'Ay! I'm not done wit' you!"

"I've got science to do!" She waved to him over her shoulder and flashed to her brother's side.

"Shall we?" she asked.

"We shall."

With that, the Grantz duo left for the lab.

She snapped out of her reminiscent thoughts as she arrived at the training grounds where Nnoitora-sama and Tesla were waiting for her.

XxXxX

Kinda anti-climactic huh?

**- nii-san simply means a general/ polite way to refer to someone as your brother. Adding the "O" before it just means that he is your older brother.

And I do apologize because I know that Tesla is completely OOC but they really didn't show enough of him in the Anime to get a real feel for his personality. All I know is that he is very protective of his master, so I made him sort of violent-ish at first to fit with the scene a little better. I will tell you that eventually he does warm up to the OC, so no worries!

And anyone who got that mini Star Trek reference in the flashback gets a virtual cookie! Also, I apologize for that random string of letters in the flashback, but that was how I depicted her epic stuttering so DEAL WITH IT! I'm only kidding but I apologize if that displeased you… *goes to cry in the corner… Moody aren't I? *wink*

I am going to post a description of Reino under another story, and it'll be called "Imperfect Image OC Description", and it'll have a basic description her in her normal form and a few other things, so look put for it if you want to know.

I apologize for any mistakes in the Japanese parts so if something is wrong/incorrect then please tell me.

Thanks for reading, and I'll see ya'll again soon!
