After you got dressed in some work out gear and put your hair up (if your hair is short, ignore that part), you went down to the training room where Nat told you to meet her.

It took you a few minutes, considering you didn't know your way around the tower yet, but you found it, and there she was, already waiting.

"Let's get to it", she said.

~~~

"Do I really gotta do this?" you said as you were out of breath from Nat knocking you down for the 20th time that morning.

"How do expect to defend yourself in public if someone tried to attack you?" she asked while she helped you up off the ground.

"I got G with me, I'd be fine", you said as you walked away to get some water. You squirted some water into your mouth as she gave you an incredulous expression. "Plus, she's strong too, I'm sure."

"What if you didn't have her?" she asked while also taking a drink of water.

You gulped down your water before exhaling. "But I do."

"But what if you didn't?"

"But I do."

"I know that but I'm saying what if?"

"What would you do without me?" Guillotine asked as her head appeared and rested on your shoulder.

"I have you, though", you countered.

"That's not the point", Nat stated in annoyance.
"Would you be able to fight off some thugs if they attacked you and you didn't have Guillotine?"

"Okay, well... do you mean before I became her host or after?"

"Both."

"Pffft, yeah", you said, pulling an 'obviously I could' face.

Nat looked at you disbelieving and quirked an eyebrow.

"Liar", Guillotine said.

"Oh shut up!" you retorted at her. Then you looked at Nat. "Okay, if I didn't have Guillotine, I suppose I could, but if I had lost her then I'd be weak."

"Y/N, I've seen the way you've fought in the last two hours, and you're strong. You're strong and capable and you have what it takes to fight", Nat told you.

It was your turn to raise an eyebrow. "Never took you for the 'motivational speech' type-a gal", you replied.

"I'm not, but like I said, you have what it takes, you just gotta practice."

"Yeah, I know", you smiled a little. You raised your fists to protect your face and got in a boxing stance while Nat did the same.

"Ready?" she asked.

You nodded. A moment of silence and then...

"Go!"

After your training session with Nat, you and Guillotine were starving, but first and foremost, a shower was needed.
