A taxicab back to Hell's Kitchen was not as cushy as a fancy S.H.I.E.L.D. escort, but it kept Ciciley from being constantly reminded of the crap Nick Fury pulled back at the facility.

For that, she needed another round of training with Anne to blow off steam.
She saw the Scotswoman conversing with a tan-skinned woman of forty-something years of age with eyes as piercingly blue as hers. In a low-cut black tank top and form-fitting black leggings, she would have seemed imposing to anyone but Ciciley.

Bringing their exchange to a conclusion, Anne left the woman's side and approached Ciciley, confusion drawn on her face. "What're you doing back so soon?" she asked. "Your session ended earlier this afternoon."
Ciciley dodged her question with one of her own. "Who's the new girl you were talking to?"
"Her name's Rose and she's a new client," Anne divulged. "We were about to begin her training, until you showed up for whatever reason that you still haven't told me about."

"Well, if you really want to hit something, the ring's where to do it," Anne offered. "But you'll have to pay extra."
Ciciley scowled. "I don't give a crap."
Anne obliged to her client's demand and led her to the sparring ring.
The two women were about to step in, until one young Hispanic woman jumped right in over the ropes, dancing vigorously around the ring in her purple tank top and black yoga shorts. She sparred with the thin air, her taped-up fists jabbing left and right in swift, rapid motion.
