The Dynamic Duo in Northern Italy

The Training

June 1st, 2017 08:00 hours before training commences in the Phoenix household
The doors open as a soft summer breeze hits both Lucius and Ashley's faces while they get off and notice twin boys with the same facial structure as the commandant. "You two must be Abraham and Arthur, it's nice to meet you I'm Lucius and this is Ashley." "Hi." The twins greet them both as they are curious to what strengths these two pertain. "Well I hope you both find your stay reassuring and please don't mind my brother he's quite the childish one if you ask me." "and I like to blow stuff up." They walk up the corridor to the main hall after landing while Arthur begins poking Ashley's arm. "If you're wondering Arthur don't poke Ashley trust me it's wise that you don't." "Aww why not all I wanted to do was have a little fun poke poke poke." He's completely cut off as she flips him pinning him to the ground giggling. "Ashley let our instructor go please" "fine but only this time, next time don't do it again or else it'll be worse." "Wow quite the feisty friend you have, how would you like to train in marksmanship?" "That is actually my forte for once." "Alright then show me what you've got at the range then." "Deal." All four walk to the range as she takes her position checking the rifle for any faults. "Ready when you are Ashley." "Give em hell Ash." She mumbles to herself. "Trust me I will." "Ready and go." She aims and fires at every target pulling back the bolt action shot after shot made on each target marking the center on every one of them. "That's quite Impressive there princess but there's more than just marksmanship that you need to learn." "Try me I dare you." "You'll be going against Arthur first then me." "Aww can't I go against you Abraham, you're more built than your brother." "Hey that's not fair they always choose you over me." "It's alright Arthur, anyways Ashley you have to start with him." "Fine, I guess I'll have my fun with him anyways." She says in a dominant way as she gets in her stance. "Let's dance pretty boy." Arthur is currently in shock but becomes angered a bit. "You know for a 10 year old you have quite the mouth to be spouting that nonsense." "I could say otherwise Arthur after all you have a bigger disadvantage than your twin brother there." Before he gets a word out she catches him off guard pinning him to the ground and pulling his arm back. "Ow ow ow that not fair." "Nothing's fair in this world sweetheart now tap." She tugs at his arm a bit making him scream and tap. "Okay okay you win gah having quite the grip on me eh" he gets up after she lets him go rotating his shoulder a bit while Lucius snickers a bit. "What's so funny I'd like to see you try big guy." "Arthur I'm training him so I've got this." "Okay suit yourself." They both step onto the ring preparing to fight each other as they're both fully toned. "Why am I not surprised that you are fit Lucius." "I train a lot." They square up as they are both ready to fight. "Ready." They both nod. "Fight." They both trade the first blow at the same time as they block each other's punches countering one another swinging a few kicks here and there pulling off a few maneuvers. "Very good Lucius who taught you." "Your father did." "Why is he not here if I may ask." "He's currently busy with a business trip but shall be back within a month." "Good, try it again but this time you're on defense got it?" "Understood." "Strike." Abraham swings a few moves on Lucius while his reflexes kick in for defense blocking every perfected shot he has to land a blow to the body failing miserably. "Well done Vincenzo, we move up to your next step of training same with you Ashley come on." "Okay." All 3 follow Abraham to the range as he grabs a normal bolt action rifle. "So you have 3 targets, each one is at a greater distance that you have to shoot, can you handle it ash?" "Hmph nothing but a piece of cake." She takes aim loading the rifle with some 308 Winchester rounds taking aim at the targets. "Whenever you're ready Ashley." "Born ready." "Alright then go." She took the shot and caught the center of the target as she cocked back the rifle firing at a different target then at the last with her third round hitting the center.
Lucius whistles at Ashley. "You really did get better." "Indeed I did pretty boy, now it's your turn." "Let me show you how it's done." Lucius steps up to the platform where Ashley was standing taking aim. "Alright whenever you're ready Lucius" "I was born ready" the buzzer goes off and he begins shooting at his targets making each one in the center as well noticing one from 2000 yards shooting it and making the shot. "Holy shit Lucius you killed it, I never thought you'd notice the target from afar." "Trust me my eyes are just as good as hers." Ashley scoffs. "Showoff." "Aww what's the matter princess, head in the clouds lately?" Lucius winks at Ashley smiling before she smirks back at him. "Actually if I recall I can still easily pin you down." "Woah woah break it up you two, you'll have your chance in the courtyard after this okay, Arthur be a good lad and clean the rifle." "But I just cleaned it not that long ago Abraham." "I don't care do it, moving on, how good are you two at chess." "All time regional champ all day." "I thought you didn't like chess Ashley." "There are certain things you have yet to know about me Lucius. 
June 10th, 2027 08:00 hours before coming home to Luciano
10 years go by as they both have finished their training on par with each other.
"What's wrong handsome, afraid I'm gonna beat you at your own little record of marksmanship." "Don't test me ash you know damn well I can beat my own record." "Then prove it Luci." He smirks. "Oh it's on alright." He grabs his fully specced out Barrett 50 cal mounting it and taking aim paying attention to the wind velocity as well as the distance of the target. "Target 3000 yards, shot." He pulls the trigger hitting the center. "I'd like to see you do better ash." "Trust me I will pretty boy." She taps his shoulder smiling at him giving him that flirtatious wink grabbing her specced out Barrett 50 cal as well taking aim. "4000 yard target, wind speed is good, target is shot." She pulls the trigger hitting directly in the center. "Bloody hell, she showed you how it's done Lucius." "I know." Ashley walks by him. "Next time don't hold back on me hot stuff." I'll keep that in mind alright." He smiles as his tongue moves to the right while he smiles at her making her heart flutter and just walk away. "Looks like she's falling hard for you." "Who knows Arthur, she is betrothed to me and I still want to keep that promise that I've made to her when I was a kid you know." "I don't know what to tell you but either way you guys get to go back to Turin with your uncle Luciano." "How's he been by the way?" "From the look of things he still thinks it's his fault both your parents and his fiancé are dead." "I'll reassure him it wasn't his fault for what happened to mom and pop." "Trust me he'll need it Luci, and if there's anything you need from us, anything, just give us a holler alright now get packing your chopper arrives in 5 hours." "Don't worry commander Phoenix, I will." "Don't call me that we're brothers in arms for crying out loud, just call me Arthur okay." You got it brother." Lucius goes to his room only to find most of his stuff packed while he's blindfolded and tied down to a chair by Ashley while she giggles mischievously. "Ash what are you doing?" "Oh nothing, I just want to know what we're you talking about with Arthur." "It was nothing I swear." "Uh huh then why are you stiff hm?" He doesn't realize what she's talking about until she starts poking the bulge in his pants making him hitch his breath. "P please j just torture me or whatever you'll never get anything out of me Ash." She smirks and giggles a bit. "Is that so Lucius guess you wouldn't mind if I use this do you?" She begins stroking him down there while his breath hitches trying not to make a sound. "Hard one to crack are we now, I guess I'll have to go a little faster." She lets his package out stroking it faster hitting all the right places while he breathes heavily. "O okay okay you win, I'll tell you." "Will you now?" She says in a sarcastic voice squeezing his package making the veins pop out. "So what did you talk about?" "Just the fact uncle Luci blames himself for our parents deaths." "Trust me Luci, he'll be fine once we make it back home okay." "Okay but for now can you untie me please." His breath hitches as she strikes him faster. "Not until you become a hot mess sweetheart." Her mischievous giggles are heard throughout the room as she succeeds in getting him to cum and be overstimulated before he passes out. "Sleep well my little prince for the days of becoming king are soon." She cleans him up laying him in bed putting everything away and walking towards the door as it is flung open revealing a flustered Abraham and Arthur. "What are you both doing here I thought you left for the mission." "We're sorry ash but we were enjoying the passionate sex you both were having." "Oh please I haven't gone that far yet."
"You are quite the wildcard huh." "Indeed she is." She bonks both of them on the head. "Both of you shut up and go I've got packing to do." "Yes ma'am." They both leave as she enters her bunk packing all of the clothes she's taking with her back to Turin thinking back to Lucius's smile as her face heats up. "Dammit why am I thinking of him right now." Her memories go back to the promise he made to her when they were 5 the day their parents died causing tears to go down her cheeks before wiping them. "Come on Ashley get your head in the game." She finishes packing taking her 2 duffle bags to the main hall in the Phoenix household showing a soft smile on her face. Only time will tell what awaits for her back in Turin.
