The Broken Avenger

Chapter Ten: Training Night

A few days later, once the sun started to set, Hunter and I were in the training room. I was in my training clothes with my hands wrapped since I didn't have gloves. Hunter was in shorts and no shirt, with his hands wrapped too. Alex was out with Natasha, Wanda, Pietro, and Sam. I got into my fighting stance and so does Hunter.

"Ready," he asked, hoping from one foot to the other. I nodded. We both circle each other and wait for one another to make the first move. Then Hunter went to punch me. I dodged it. Then I took his wrist, jumped up, wrapped my leg around his arm, and twisted him down to the ground; putting him in an arm bar. He yelled at first, then picked me up and threw me to the other side of the mat. When he threw me off, I did a back flip and got back into my battle stance. He chuckled. "Not bad Shadow."

I smiled. "Back at ya Dark." He smiled back at me. I went and kicked him in the head. He blocked it and went to punch me in the stomach. He made contact. The pain shot through me like a bullet to the head. I punched him in the face and kicked him in the side. I then dodged another one of his punches. I take his arm, twist it, wrench it back in between his shoulder blades. I jumped onto his back and wrap my legs around him, with his arm still wrenched behind him. I wrapped my arms around his neck; putting him in a sleeper hold position. Once he got his arm free, he tried to pry my arms off him. I unwrapped my legs and wrapped them around his left arm, pulling it back. Then I stretched myself across his upper back, grabbing his other arm. I pulled his right arm back. I heard something pop and Hunter shouted in pain. "Yield," I shouted at him. We both had a smile on our face.

"Never," he shouted back. He managed to get out of the hold. I looked at his left shoulder and it's dislocated. But he didn't mind the pain. I run at him, jumped up, kicked him in the chest, and did a back flip; landing on my feet. It knocked him back a few feet. I went to punch him, but he grabbed my arm, twisted it back, and kneed me in between the shoulder blades; forcing me to the ground. He wrenched my arm upward making me yell. "Yield," he shouted.

"No," I yelled at him. I kicked the back of his head and he let go of my arm. He took his knee off my shoulder. I got up quickly as he tried to strike again. I kneed him in the chest while grabbing his head. I managed to use his own momentum and flip him onto his back, with my knee still on his chest.

"I yield," declared Hunter. I got off him and helped him get to his feet. "I've gotta admit, you are pretty good. What have they been doing with you while you stay here?" He started to unwrap his fists. I did the same as u replied.

"Nothing really. I've only been here for a few days. Today is the fifth day or so. I don't know what they did to me while I was unconscious but, they let me train here. I trained with the James." Hunter gave me a strange look. "The Winter Soldier; my brother," I repeated. His eyes went wide.

"The Winter Soldier is your brother?" I nodded my head and smirked. "That is... good to know. So your saying that they just let you wonder around their base?" I shook my head and laughed.

"No. They let me go where ever I please, but they still have to follow me. More like an escort." I formed a ball with all four elements that you control. "I understand why they did this though. If I found someone as unstable as me, I wouldn't let them wander around alone," I added. I started to think about what happened to me. I then had a frown on my face. I started to feel a little upset but at the same time, sad. Knowing that everything that I loved was taken away from me. My family, friends, my life; the fact that they kept me from my brother was probably the worst part. I forget the fact that Hunter was still in the room with me, until he wrapped his arms around me. The ball disappeared and I hugged him back, burying my face in his neck.

"I know that you didn't ask to be this way Kida. None of us did. But we all can help each other if we all stick together. And I promise you that we will find a way to help you." I looked up at him and smile. He gave me a soft smile too, and we just stared at each other for a moment or two. My smile then faded.

"How can you make a promise like that," I asked, "knowing that you're only giving me false hope?"

"Because I know that I'm right. We can figure out a way to fix you. Your brother seems perfectly fine. So if they can fix him, they can fix you as well." I just nodded and looked at the ground. He lifted my chin to get me to look at him. He looked into my eyes for a moment. Then he kissed me. I kissed him back softly and he just held me in his arms. I moved my hands up his right bicep. Once I managed to get a good enough grip, I jerked his arm and his shoulder popped again. He pulled away from the kiss and shouted. He grabbed his shoulder and gave me a crazy look. I smiled and lifted an eyebrow; crossing my arms over my chest. His mouth was still open as he felt his shoulder. He looked confused at first then he looked back at me.

"I figured that would've been the best way to pop your shoulder back into place," I explained. He blinked a few times before finally speaking up.

"Ow! That hurt more than getting it pulled out of its socket!"

"I know. But knowing you, you would've waited and tried to do it on your own. And then most likely messing up your shoulder even more," I replied. He put his finger in the air and opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He dropped is finger and stopped; knowing that I had a point. I giggled while he sat there with a defeated look. Then I noticed that we weren't alone.
