Wolf and Cat

Spar In Session

Getting to the door Nick hesitated. 'Don't be officers don't be officers' he thought. Grabbing the door handle he slowly opened the door, peaking his head through. Ace was in the centre with Lyle in a head lock, Ja, and zdog were standing next to each other as always, Prager was sitting on a bench near them with his leg in a bandage. Fike was behind Lyle and Ace cheering on, Zhang was in a corner with a cloth wiping what seemed to be blood from his nose and lip. Looking further Ace had dried blood stained to his knuckles. Nick stepped into the room and walked to Ja, keeping himself quiet. "Hey guys". Ja and Zdog were focused on the sparring as they turned there heads. "Nick!" Gasped Zdog, she walked in for a tight hug to the Wolf. Her eyes lit up as she smiled at him, as she stepped back Ja smiled and calmly hugged Nick. "Finally good to see you, where's Quaritch?" Asked Ja.

Lyle elbowed Ace in the stomach causing him to lean back, losing the grip Lyle pushed himself out of the headlock and spun around throwing a punch to the recoms face. Blocking the punch with his arm Ace quickly stepped forward and tried punching him back, Lyle caught his fist and twisted around grabbing to his arm leaning behind Ace. Wrapping his free arm around Lyle, Ace kicked his leg to his knee causing him to buckle, pulling back Ace lifted Lyle off the floor, turning around he flung him to the padded floor with a thud. As Ace held Lyle to the ground using his body weight to keep him down, Fike fell to the floor beside them hitting his arm on the ground in a count of three. "ONE!"  "TWO!"   "THREE!".

They were sparring not wrestling, and Corporal wainfleet wasn't letting himself get beat by a newbie. Lyle growled in his throat as he wriggled and elbowed Ace to the face, right in his nose. Ace rolled back and they both stood up, Lyle bounced his shoulders with his hands clenched up to his face. "Cmon Rookie" he smirked. Ace hunched himself with his tail flicking, knuckles clicking as he clenched them to his side glaring at Lyle. Opening his mouth and bearing his fangs, Ace let out a loud intimidating hiss. Lyle lowered his ears and snarled, flicking his own tail he hissed back, not quite as loud or scary, he looked strange. Ace tilted his head and smirked, walking to Lyle he held up his hands fisted and ready to punch.

Lyle swung a punch, Ace swung a punch, they hit each others fists with a crack in there knuckles. Ace quickly grabbed Lyle's wrist twisting his arm then punching him in the jaw. Lyle stepped back shaking his arm then holding it back up in a fist. Running towards Ace he took a hit in the face before leaning down and tackling the recom to the ground. Laying over Ace onto the ground Lyle fed his  face with punches.

Fike looked over at the group wondering if he should break it off. Nick shook his head at fike. Ace grabbed Lyle's wrists and bucked him off. Standing up quickly while Lyle was still rolling over to get himself up, Ace waited for Lyle to stand up, once he did immediately Ace punched him in the nose, then another punch with his other hand to his jaw. Lyle finally dodged a third punch and stepped to Ace grabbing his high shoulders then kneeing him in the gut. Ace coughed out and tried putting Lyle in another headlock. Slipping his head out of his arm Lyle punched Ace in the throat, quickly giving another punch back to his gut then his ribs. Leaning back Ace took a deep breath swallowing the pain in his body, closing his eyes he slammed his forehead into Lyles. Wainfleet stepped back dazed as he held to his head. Ace buckled to his knees with his head spinning, holding himself up with his hands on the ground, blood from his face dripping to the ground. Lyle pounced over Ace with cat like agility, grabbing his shoulder he roughly pulled at the socket, a large click popped and Ace shrieked out. "Ok I forfeit!". Lyle released him before standing up, looking down at the recom on the floor huffing. "Oorah bitch..." he breathed before stumbling to the floor huffing and breathing.

Ja crossed his arms signing at the recoms splayed on the floor, "let me look at you then I'll examine those idiots" he said turning to Nick. "What's there to look at?" Asked Nick.
"When you came back to bridgehead with Wainfleet and the Colonel I spoke with the doctor about your leg and some stitches, you look fine but I was meant to check them yesterday..". Sigh. "Alright" Nick said, Stepping over to a bench he took his shirt off and placed it on the floor. Ja stepped over firstly checking his face. "Any dizziness or fever?".
"Nope". Gently putting his hands on Nick's jaw he slowly turned his head to the side. "You got a stitching in your neck didn't you?"
"Yeah a bullet or something".
"The stitching's come out but it's healed up perfectly-" Ja moved his hands to the wolf's neck running his fingers over, pausing. "What?" Asked Nick. "You've got bite marks all over your neck Nick" Ja's voice was confused and concerned as he parted the wolf's fur, examining the various bite marks left in his skin. "Aha.. those, right. Had some critters attack me when I got lost in the forest"
"They don't look swollen? they.."
flicking Ja's hand away Nick's ears twitched and his tail wagged. "Seriously don't worry about that, aha really" he nervously chuckled. Suddenly the door slammed open, Quaritch stepped into the room with his hand on his hip, glancing around, he looked annoyed. Nick's tail continued to frantically wag, Quickly he stood up picking the shirt from the floor and putting it on. Turning to Ja he grabbed his shoulder and faced him to the other side away from the Colonel looking away. "Shut up about it" He whispered to Ja. Ja took a moment to register what Nick had said. He noticed the bite makes weren't from critters, they were avatar sized with specific teeth marks and fangs-.. Ja then realised, His face changed from calm and confused to shocked and shocked, and more shocked. Putting his hand to his mouth Ja stared eyes wide at Nick. "Hmgm?!?" He blurted, words muffled by his own hand. "shut up shut up!" He whispered again. The colonel caught his eyes on Nick, walking over he grabbed his arm turning him around. "How did you get out?" He questioned. "You didn't lock the door dumbass" rolling his eyes. Quaritch looked at Ja, his face still frozen in shock with his hand to his mouth. "What?" Asked Quaritch, he looked confused to why Ja was so stunted and his eyes only widening looking at him. Ja looked at Quaritch, glancing at his open mouth, his fangs visible. "Nothing Colonel!" he shrieked. "I gotta check on Wainfleet and Ace.." turning around he kept his hand on his face walking to the two recoms bleeding on the ground. "What did you do?" Tugging at Nick's arm. "Yeah I'm the culprit am I?" Nick spat, sarcastically.  Quaritch tugged at his arm pulling the wolf closer, leaning his face in, "I wouldn't" he growled, glaring at the wolf. Nick closed his mouth with a huff out of his nose, lowering his ears. Before Quaritch could say anything more a voice over his coms interrupted.

"Colonel I need you and the wolf to the briefing room, Bring the new recom".

"On our way general" Replied Quaritch, he glanced over to Ace on the floor. "Get him up", pushing away Nick's arm. Nick scoffed at Quaritch before turning around walking over to ace. Kneeling down at the recom he grabbed his hand pulling his arm up. "Cmon General needs us bud". Ace groaned in reply, rubbing his eyes. "Ughh.. I wanna rematch..".
"Not now mate, cmon get up"
Opening his eyes Ace pulled Nick's hand and stood up, shaking his head. "Alright I'm up" wiping blood from his nose. Nick gently pushed Ace towards the door. Walking past the Colonel Ace chuckled to himself, Nick looked up and glared At Quaritch before walking out the door...
