A Ninja's Way of Life (Leo X OC)

Training

That night when Blair and the boys got back to the lair, Blair tried her best to act as normal as possible, but in reality she had a million thoughts racing through her head. She felt as if her brain could run a marathon. 

Leo stretched while yawning, "Weeelp, It's time for me to get my beauty z's. I'll see ya guys in the morning." 

The rest of the group agreed and all said goodnight before all going their separate ways to their rooms for the night. 

Blair got to her room, kicked off her shoes, threw her jacket on the ground, and sat on her bed. She looked up at the ceiling and started thinking back to the events from earlier that night. She couldn't believe how weak she actually was. I mean, she was a mutant after all, surely she should be stronger than the average human. Then she realized, she would be if she was getting the right training. At this point all she was really doing was getting a good cardio workout everyday, not really pushing the limits though. 

Blair was determined to get stronger, with or without the help of the boys. She thought back to how the goons held her down and how she couldn't escape from their grasp, and shivered. She never wanted to feel that weak and helpless again. She also thought back to what the old guy had said. Why had he offered to help her? and what was that card he was about to hand her?

As if on queue Blair glanced over to jacket and noticed something sticking out of the pocket that was there before. 

Blair squinted her eyes at the object, " What, is that?"

Blair stood up and picked up the object sticking out of jacket. It was a card, but not just any card. It was the business card the old guy had tried giving to Blair before. On one side was an address, on the other was a message, "Strength is attainable. One needs only to to commit thyself to it's pursuit."

Is this what that old guy had meant when he said he could help Blair? What? Was he trying to say he could....train her? Blair scoffed and threw the card into the drawer of nightstand. Like she needed help from some criminal, she had the has the four heroes who saved the world from the Krang on her side. She stopped at that thought. At least, she thought she had them on her side. 

Thinking back to how they've lied to her hurt, but it also made her angry. Blair smirked, it made her angry enough to want to grow stronger just to prove to them that they didn't need to coddle her. 

Blair walked to her curtain and peeked her head out; no one was there. She made her way to the kitchen and the TV room and they were empty as well. It seemed as if everyone was asleep and the coast was clear. Blair made her way to the punching machine in the arcade room. She peered up at the scores. She was in in last but wasn't that far behind Donnie. Thinking back to her real strength, that score makes no sense though. She searched around the sides of the machine and found a panel slightly ajar. She opened and saw a plugin with Donnie's trademark on it. It was labeled "easy mode".

Blair glared at the plugin and yanked it out, tossing it to the side.

She walked back to the front of the machine, pressed start, and chose her profile. However strong she hit the punching bag would replace her current score. She got into stance, focusing on putting everything she had into this punch, even more so than when she punched Leo. She took a deep breath and let loose all her power on the punching bag. She couldn't help but smile. She felt that despite everything she did well enough to even make a new high score for herself on the game. Maybe she wasn't as hopeless after all. 

She glanced at the screen and her jaw hit the ground. She hadn't even reached half of her original score. 

"What?!" She pouted, "Was the 'easy mode' chip really helping me that much?"
