The Gym
Just as Cassie finishes, she feels a blur go right by her, and someone goosing her. When she turns there is no one, but she sees Yoshi standing on the other side of the gym talking to Jimmy Li, in an animated kind of way.
Jun Min shakes her head, “Well from what it looks like, Charlotte you seem pretty ready to go,” she turns, and shouts, “Shao-Lin,” and turns back to Charlotte, “we are going to start with a simple spar, Shao-Lin is one of our second year students, lets see what you can do. Don’t try and kill each other, just have fun, and experiment.”
Shao-Lin approaches the mat, and bows to Charlotte, “Many greetings the wind brings me knowledge of you, and the webs you spin dare not keep the wind from your secrets. Shall we?” he gestures to the mat.
Kanaka just smirked, “Now this should be interesting.”
James and Ryan
Charles replies to James, “Oh princess, she is just used to getting things her way, having lots of money and fame can do that. Now she isn’t the biggest fish anymore, and I am sure it pisses her off. Give her time she isn’t a bad apple, just a spoiled one,” he adds.
Billy nods, “She does not seem that bad to me, she tries really hard I guess.”
Charles just smirked knowingly, “You have no idea. Anyways about Strength and Honor, we are talking Charlie class elites here. Honor is a martial artist trained in several forms of unarmed combat, and his elite mutations only make him more dangerous. While Strength is a mountain of a man, virtually indestructible, what I hear about him, I really don’t want to cross paths. Things will only get worse if some of their other elites on their payroll are in town. The Brass Orchid has money to burn, and they have several enforcers and specialists on their bankroll.”
Billy shrugs, “We can take them.”
“the JEB had the same thought, and they got their ass kicked by the Brass Orchid. Don’t be too much in a hurry to die,” Charles finishes.
Anika and Mark
Star paused seemingly struck by Anika’s words, “I don’t know where we could go? I don’t think Tommy wants to leave here, he really likes it here. I don’t what we can do though, the law is very strict, if I stay activated, then…”
John arrives just after Mark does, “Well where is Tommy?” he says softly.
“Tommy should be in the gym with Jun Min, there was a training session planned for today, I guess he would be there, or with Dr. Hudabo?” she said questioningly. Star wipes a tear from Anika’s face, “Tommy will know what to do, but I don’t want to be deactivated, I like the experiences I have had. If you see Tommy before I do, tell him thank you,” she hugs Anika.
She smiles weakly for a moment, “I hope we meet again, Anika, you were my first and truest friend,” she turned to Mark, “and you were my first date, and I want to thank you both very much.”
