Gotham Knights season 2

The Mountain Top Day

The mountain is treacherous why would anyone want to do this you'd think a 60 year old man would have trouble doing this but he's just scurrying up the mountain while I'm in amazing shape and can barely make it up this mountain. It's been a 3 hour hike and we just now finally reached the top, there is a massive pond with dark blue water that looks gentle on the body with lily pads floating on top covering a moon shape on the left side of the pond. To the back is a hot spring with water flowing down the rocks almost like gravity doesn't exist.
Finally in the middle is a wooden platform in a circle shape and it's got to be at least 15 feet all ways. Henri looks at me and says "first we will practice reflex's and speed by catching fish in the pond then we will duel with our wooden swords on the platform then to heal your muscles you will set in the hot spring".
   I swipe the sweat off my face and look at him done tired and say "you really had to pick the hardest spot to get to".
    He gets serious and says "you weren't this whinny when I got you".
   I look at him shocked and respond "you fucking kidnapped me and second I'm on the brink of death".
   He points his finger at me and says "exactly you've got to beat death to live past my training and you are about to fail if you don't toughen up".
    I roll my eyes and walk towards the pond and say "I've only been clubbed in the head a few hundred times since I got here and chased by a bear and only left with a semi sharp sword" (I ran till I couldn't climbed a tree then jumped out and stabbed through its head miraculously because God didn't want me to die yet. I slipped of my tee shirt and laid it on a rock before stepping into the pond. I made my way out to the middle of the cold water but it was better than standing in that heat.
     Henri walks over to the edge of the pond and says " catch 10 fish with your hand and put them in the cooler when you're done and then we can move on to dueling".
   I look at him in a grouchy mood and say "what are you going to do while I do this".
   He chuckles and walks away but before getting out of reach for me to hear him he says loudly " to soothe my head in the hot spring from having to deal with you".
   I stand completely still and have my hands just above the water so I can reach in fast and grab them. I see a fish swim slowly past my leg and I reach fast into the water to catch it but it's long gone by the time my hand gets down there. I had forgot to count in the fact that the water will slow me down so I had to get fast enough reflexes to reach faster in the water. After what felt like forever I finally got ahold of a small fish with gray sides. I have no clue what type it is but I'm finally one down, I grabbed the Finn up top it sliced the palm of my hand all the way down so I'm trying to grab them from the side from now on.
      Even though catching them was hard it was calming and relaxing to just wade in the water and try staying still as possible. After many more attempts I finally had got the 10 he required me to get. I walked over to see his head getting pounded with the water running down the rocks and his eyes closed and face so relaxed. I said to him "I finally got them all".
   He kept his eyes closed and smiled before letting out "took you long enough but that's all we are doing today so go ahead and get in here". I  thanked them before slowly letting myself down into the water from my sore back muscles instantly felt better the second I touched the water.
   I leaned back and said to him "why did you want me to put the fish in the cooler".
  He replied fast with "that's our dinner".
   I've learned not to question him because it leads to me having to do harder work so I'm just going to not be smart and reply with "ok". I decide it's the time to try getting more info out of him so I say "can you please tell me more about my parents and dad as students"?
  He let out a large sigh and said "well you're old enough I guess to learn some things". " where to start, I guess here so when they were students your parents didn't want to do the training at all they wanted to live a normal life and go back to there lives they had before with their friends at a private school but I'd adopted them as soon as they became orphans to train them to work at my company but they wouldn't work hard at all on the other hand Bruce was really hard working and wanted to get strong enough to be a good assassin".
     After he said that he sunk back into the water and exhaled. I said " is that all".
  He said back calmly " for tonight".
