It was late. But for some reason Raptor couldn't sleep. Maybe it was what happened with Ghost and Soap? Maybe she was running off high energy because she slept in? She couldn't figure it out but she was the last person in the combat room.

A looming figure peeks in through the door, they were tall, to tall to me human, right? Raptor found herself turning and staring at the figure who walked through the door. A large mask that looked oddly like a T-Shirt hung over His face. He stopped when he noticed her eyes.

"Tut mir leid, ich wollte nicht unterbrechen" (I'm sorry, I did not mean to interrupt) The persons voice was coated with a gruff tone. Raptors eyes flicked in confusion. She didn't understand his words.
"I-It's ok?" She muttered still confused. Why was he so tall? Why was he German? Was he German? His name, she thought, I should ask him name. "What's your name?"
"König" his accent made her once again, weak in the knees. Maybe Raptor had a thing for voices? Well none the less she stared in full shock. "Am I interrupting you, Recruit?" König asked with a gentle and gruff tone.
"N-no, no. I'm just, I couldn't sleep" Raptor found herself stumbling on her words.
"Cant sleep?" König tilted his head.
"Y-yea"
"Well that isn't good, now is it?"
"I guess not" Raptor looked confused at his words, but he started moving towards her.
"Mind if I join you? We can spar" His question made Raptors heart skip a beat. Spar? She didn't know how to spar.
"Y-yea, that's fine" Her voice was small but she tried to keep herself stable. Taking a fighting stance on the mat while he did the same across from her. She found herself wondering how strong he was...

WHAM. König punched her in the stomach. Raptor didn't even have time to react, it was so fast she wasn't sure how he even got across the mat to her within a millisecond. Her mind raced as she hit the ground with a thud. Raptor looked up slowly. Catching a glimpse of Königs eyes before he turned and walked back to his original spot on the mat; pure.. rage.

Raptor stood up and held her stomach, taking another stance. Soon König moved again, so fast she barely had time to react but she moved. He was aiming for her right shoulder so it wasn't hard. She shifted her weight over to her left leg and moved to the left. Kicking up and landing a kick on his head. Her leg rested on his slightly crotched down shoulder, his hand holder her ankle and his eyes meeting hers. Raptor was terrified. He stood to his full height and Raptors leg fell, causing her to land back on the mat.

"Nice try, Boxsack" (Punching bag) König growled. "So weak"
"What?" Raptor found herself wondering where she went wrong, did she not say her name to him and he was mad? Did she.. what did she do? "I'm sorry?" She asked again.
"If you want to survive" König turned and started walking. "learn to keep your balance" he growled as he opened the combat room door and left. Leaving Raptor with question after question.

Raptor slowly stood up and noticed something on the ground. A rifle scope that belonged to König. She was scared that now she would have to return it.
