A few days later in the abandoned warehouse, Luz was training with Eda. Today was in hand to hand combat, mainly so Luz could develop her own fighting style other than just amateur brawling or wildly attacking. She also has an audience watching as Willow and Gus sat on some crates at the side. Eda was a skilled fighter in most techniques, so there were many she could do in order to help Luz find her own style.

"Come Luz, square your hips!" Eda shouted, dodging a punch and kneeing Luz in the chest!

Luz fell to the ground.

"Okay... I don't think mix martial arts are my kind of thing." Luz said, holding her chest.

"Okay, let's try something else." Eda said, "Hmm, you're pretty fast and agile, why don't you try using that?"

"And what do I do with it?" Luz asked as she slowly got up.

"Hit and run tactics I guess, that's your best bet." Eda said.

"How about you try and dodge my attacks?" Eda suggested, "Use that weird... tingle... thing."

"I call it my Spider Sense." Luz said, "We've been over this."

"That's a dumb name." Eda said blankly.

"I kind of like it." Gus said.

"Why call it a spider sense though?" Willow asked.

"Well, I got bit by a spider to get these powers, so it just kind of makes sense." Luz said, "I mean... what else do I call it? It doesn't match up with the rest of my powers, so I figured I might as well try and make it match."

"Moving on, let's see what you can do with that sixth sense." Eda said.

Eda charged and Luz used her spider sense to dodge the attack.

A kick, Luz sways.

A punch, Luz ducks.

A tackle, Luz leaps over.

'It's almost like my body is on autopilot.' Luz thought.

Eda turned and threw a punch at Luz, but she dodged it and jumped in the air, delivering a kick to Eda's head.

"OOOOOH!" Gus and Willow let out.

"Nice hit but that had to hurt." Willow comments.

Eda smirked.

"Not bad kid."

"Thanks. It was like my body had a mind of its own." Luz said.

"Okay, then what about this!"

Eda threw a grenade at Luz, who shot a web and launched it back at Eda. Eda avoided the explosion and charged at Luz.

'Let's see if your spider sense can handle multiple threats at once!' Eda thought, attacking Luz once more while preparing another grenade.

This time, a flash grenade. This blinded Luz, which Eda thought gave her an advantage... it did not. Her body still dodged Eda's attack, doing a perfect splits as Eda, Gus, and Willow gasped in shock.

'What the ever loving fuck?!' They all thought.

Still blinded, Luz dodged Eda's latest attack, and threw a kick that sent Eda into the wall with a loud thud.

"UGH!" Eda grutned as she slides to the ground. "Fuck, I haven't been hit that hard since I was hit with a truck."

Eda picks herself up, feeling at least one rib broken.

"Okay, I think we've done enough training." Eda said.

"Good because I cannot see." Luz said, blinking her dilated eyes.
