When Ren was done training with Aiden she walked out of the gym to see Ahimsa standing outside of the gym.

"So sorry about that. Ahi you can go in if you want-"

Ahimsa cut her off coldly. "I need to talk to you, Ren!"

Ren looked confused. "What about? I can't think of anything."

Ahimsa just sighed. "On your last mission, you were showing your magic powers more than physical power and people can harness that power for evil. You know what I mean?"

Ren nodded. "That's why I train with Aiden; to help me with my physical skills. He thinks I'm a good fighter."

Ahimsa looked confused. "Am I the only who doesn't know about this?"

Ren smiled. "That's about this gist of it."

Ahimsa started to laugh. "I hate you Ren!" She said sarcastically.

Alyssa was in the training/ballroom practicing a waltz with two pairs of swords. She started to dance with the swords when Skylar walked into the room, making Alyssa mess up. Alyssa turned, staring darkly at Skylar.

"What do you want Skylar? I am in the middle of something!"

"Alyssa, I need to talk to you about something!"

"What Skylar? Say what you need to say, and I'll probably answer you!"

Skylar looked at the ground. "You said you were the kid of an assassin?"

Alyssa nodded.

"I just really hope you know, don't go back to them and leave us... leave me..." Skylar said getting quieter, looking at the ground.

Alyssa lifted Skylar's chin up gently with one hand. "Uh, hello Skylar? I wouldn't leave this team. You guys are like family to me and family doesn't abandon family right?"

Skylar nodded then looked at Alyssa. Then she starts to laugh. "You know you can go back to training, but can you show me what you do?"

Alyssa smiled. "Sure; why not!"
