Kiara was brutally training in one of the many training rooms of the house and she flung a handful of knives and they all stuck into the wall. She looked at the pattern of the knives and they'd made the shape of an 'M'.
Kiara shook her head and walked over to her bench, sitting down on it and chugging her water bottle down, real quickly.
Dick knocked on the door and she spun around without thinking and a knife sunk into the doorframe, a bit too close to his head for comfort.
"Go away." Kiara said coldly and turned back around, picking up her staff from the ground swiftly, swingin' it into a ready position.
"Nice formation. Is the 'M' for Magneto?" He asked and she said nothing, as she spun the staff quickly around, acting as if she was attacked from all sides by everybody. "Look, I know that you're angry at me. But... I also know that you can't possibly stay mad at me forever." Dick said and she dropped the staff onto the floor, as he looked over at her. "She would have left anyways, you know." He said and she sighed.
"Did she tell you about what her adopted father did to her? And about how Bruce helped her out? He helped her have a life again, a choice as to be something that she wanted to be." She said quietly and Dick raised one of his eyebrows.
"She didn't tell me... but she did tell Jason Todd a couple of things, when I was talking to Clay in Corvo. They're resourceful, they found a back way in and they almost picked a fight. And at that moment, they probably would've won." Dick said and Kiara sighes. "You wanna kick my ass?" He asks, and she smirked a little.
He tossed her a pair of escrima and they started their familiar drills, until it turned into a full-on sparring match within minutes.
They both appeared to be evenly matched, until they stopped after over the course of at least an hour they had managed to 'kill' each other, an equal amount of times each. Many times, it was at the same time.
"Well, you two still know how to kill each other." Kiara looked up quickly at the familiar voice, and Dick turned around.
"Bruce send you to check on us?" He asked and the young woman scoffed a bit.
"You wish. He knows that you can take care of yourself Dick. I was in the area, so I figured that I'd stop by and a effort of being polite say hi. There was a lot of mind chatter coming from in here." Sienna Carter said and Kiara's scoff was heard loud and clear.
"Yeah, right. We're the only two people awake right now. So, that is total bullshit right there." Kiara said and put her escrima to the side. "I'm not buying into your excuses, Sienna Carter. Not this time. Or should I just be calling you... Archangel?" She asks and Sienna growled a little.
"One of your little 'Elites' came back to Gotham with Jason. She seemed to be upset, particularly about somethin' that former Robin said." Sienna looks over at Dick, who neither confirms or denies it. "Anyways, Bruce and I are a team now and trying to train her up a bit. She seems more defensive." She'd say and Kiara laughed.
"Her name is literally Shields, Si. Of course she's more defensive. She was our person behind the screens, before she met Dick, Rachel, and the others. I guess Jason just pushed her over their boundary, between the defense, and a good offense." Kiara pointed out and a chuckle came from Sienna.
"Yeah, no kidding. She is a natural fighter though. She's already working with Jason on sword fighting with a blindfold on. I'm telling you two, this kid is special. She's like me." Sienna's voice was specifically meaning one of her skills and Kiara spewed her water everywhere.
"You mean?!" Kiara's eyes were burning with rage beyond belief and Dick put his hand gently on her right shoulder, as if to both restrain her and to comfort her.
"Yeah. She is an telepath and an empath, like me. She is also my little sister." Kiara growled in rage, and she had Dick trying to put himself in the middle of the two of them now.
"She could have told me." Kiara said quietly and Sienna laughed at her, as she shakes her head.
"She also has wings, so just uh... keep that in mind before you piss her off... I mean, unless you want to get burned a time again." Kiara's fear, it was like as cold as ice and her eyes showed it.
"Hey! That was too fucking far, even for you, Sienna." Dick snapped and he hugged Kiara, who was shaking, once again.
"If you say so, Grayson." Sienna said with a shrug, as she walks away from the pair.
Kiara shakes her head and shoved Dick away quickly, as she struggled to control her breathing and to get her head back into the game. "Hey, take it easy..."
"Just shut up!" She shouted and he stopped, clearly stunned by the sudden and unusual outburst from her and she wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry. I just... Just leave, please." She whispered and Dick nodded, and he puts his escrima to the side and walks after Sienna, gently shutting the door behind him.
