*thud thud thud*. Turner looks up at Henri and asks in a pained voice "why do you hit me so hard".
     In a accent from god knows where Henri replies sternly "cause you're stupid and don't learn fast"
   Turner grips the back of his head where he was hit with a stick multiple times and shrieks an ounce of pain " I've only been here a week and I'm at my limit".
     Henri Ducard was a stern man but a caring one to the people he loved. Yes he may have one of the biggest assailant groups in the world and most deadly but if you are on his good side and he cares about you there isn't a more caring person though he doesn't show it a lot as you can tell from this. I was speaking in third person because I thought it being in here like this would be better but I'm going to speak like a normal person and it be in first person from now on. I'm Turner if you were following me on my last journey of getting accused of murdering my adopted father who I wish would have been my real one you'd know I ran back into Wayne tower to save his journals and mysterious men in full armour stopped me before leaving and next thing you know in a place almost paradise not knowing where at all and meeting the person who trained my actually parents and Bruce!!! Exiting right?
       Anyways back to my training, we returned to our respected sides of the mat and I drew my wooden sword before running and striking at him at max strength my wooden sword went towards his side then all of a sudden I feel a really hard hit to my right shoulder. I fall over onto my elbows and cough up blood onto the floor. For the 500th time today I hear Henri say "get up and again". He's driving me absolutely nuts if you can't tell but I need to go back and protect Gotham from what I know is coming.
    I slowly get up whipping blood from my mouth and say "I know you've told me a ton already today".
   I feel a hit to the back of my calf and the words come out of his mouth as he gets stern again " don't get lip with me".
    "I keep forgetting CAUSE OF HOW MANY TIMES YOU THUMP ME ON THE HEAD" I say emphasizing the thump on the head. I feel another wack to the same calf in the same spot cause he apparently thinks that was lip which I mean it kinda was. "Damn dude how many time am I getting hit today".
    He walks back to his spot and says "how many time are you going to give me lip".
 
                    *Later that day*
     After a long grueling day of training with the strictest assassin corporation owner on this side of the Rocky's. I honestly still haven't learned where I am yet so I can't really tell you which side of the Rocky's this is. Back to the first sentence it's finally dinner time and his private chefs make some of the best food I've ever tasted. I don't know how they make it this good but they do. It's like if you go to one of those fancy Japanese steak places and they do tricks. But here it's twice as fast and 100 times as good.
     I've been trying to get him to open up about my parents and Bruce but all he's let on is they trained together and were close but after returning to Gotham they went with the assassin ways and Bruce used it in what he said was "a waste of years of my life training him doings" which I think is for the better. I've been pretty open about the fact I'm going back after training and with my group called the Gotham knights am going to do what Bruce didn't get to finish. He still claims I'm going to be a master assassin but it's no use arguing with his hard head I'll just go back to Gotham after I'm done. A year of training is what it's going to take and it's done torture enough not being able to tell my friends I'm alive them he actually tortures me especially when we play dodge the knife which if you didn't know leads to getting stabbed which hurts. Luckily he has somehow got his hands on some of the stuff that saved me when my throat got slit. I didn't ask him how because I know it's definitely illegal and probably involved a few deaths. Also he only gives it to me when I pass out and start choking on my own blood. He says "you need to man up both your fathers got stabbed thousands of times in that one year you've only got stabbed ten".
   Most kids my age are enjoying school and sports my sport is dodging knives from a homicidal maniac who isn't trying to kill me but hurt me a lot to toughen me up.
    I've tried finding out more about how my parents and who I consider my dad got here. I've tried snooping around but he catches me every time and hits me on the head with his wooden stick. It has to have caused irreversible brain damage by this point. I don't know why he's hiding it so much but I've got to find out the truth because I've been lied to my whole life and am finally in a place that could explain everything but he won't let me find out. I'm mainly curious why he put a hit out on my Dad and my parents failed to do it and resulted in their death. And the rest of this I will refer to my actual parents as parents and Bruce dad. Anyways that's all we did today and I'm going to attempt to figure more out tonight but I'll probably get thumped again.
