"I don't understand what we're doing out here," said Alyssa as she looked at Kendra with knitted brows.
After Alyssa got back to the training area, the girl didn't hesitate to start her lessons again. She would never admit it but Kendra grew on her, and she found it surprisingly easy to relax around her.
After they met again, Kendra resumed her lessons for an hour or so before proposing to move their lessons outside since the weather was nice and the training area started to get stuffy. Right now they stood on 'the green field', which was basically just a massive balcony with greenery all over the place. Pepper told Tony it would be a nice addition to the stale, modern tower, and she was right. Up here the air was much fresher and the sun seemed to be brighter as it shined through the leaves.
Alyssa stood in the middle of the balcony, surrounded by flowers, bushes, and small trees. The birds sang, and Alyssa put a hand over her eyes to shield them from the beaming sun.
"I thought I still had to learn," Alyssa said to Kendra, who has closed her eyes as she soaked up the warm sunlight with a smile.
"You are learning," she said. "But there's many ways to do so. Come here, sit with me."
Alyssa walked over to her, sitting down in front of her. Kendra opened her eyes and smiled at the younger girl.
"I already told you how your powers can connect to all of life. But what you still need to learn is how. So, close your eyes and follow my instructions."
Alyssa did so, closing her eyes and breathing softly.
"We're outside because it's brighter out here. Literally. The trees, the flowers, the birds, even the light itself, it all has a soul. You can't find that in a sweaty gym," Kendra chuckled. "You've already done an amazing job on how to stay at peace and strengthen your mind today. We're now going to use that knowledge."
Alyssa gulped nervously, biting her lip. "Are you sure that's safe?"
Kendra smiled kindly, although Alyssa couldn't see it. "Yes, I'm sure. I'll be here the whole time, don't worry. I just want you to reach out and feel the life around you. You'll sense it immediately. Start whenever you want, Ally. Take it slow."
Sense it immediately? Let's hope so.
"O...kay, I guess I can do that," Alyssa said. She took a deep breath and started to ease her mind. She found that thinking of happy memories worked the best for her. A small smile came onto her face as a feeling of comfort and joy settled in her chest. That feeling quickly grew as she felt something else mingle with it, something even warmer and more pure.
