Chapter 21- Sparring

((Sorry that updates have been so sparse. Midterms made me busy, but I'm going to try updating once a week again. I guess probably on the weekends since that's when I have the most spare time. Also I added a Fallout 4 video at the top. Thanks for reading! I appreciate you all!))

For the rest of the month, you and Barney met everyday for your therapy. Finally, after the last session he said you were dramatically better than when you started and he released you from therapy. You also thought you had improved since the first day. You weren't having nightmares, or punching people so that was certainly a plus. You gave Barney a hug and left the medical office. Walking around each floor, you finally found Adam in the gun range with your daughter. You stepped inside quietly and watched as she fired round after round of bullets into the pillow target. When she decided she was finished , she put down the gun and looked at Adam.

"Good job, did you notice your arms were more steady that time?" He asked. She nodded and looked over to you.

"Momma, did you see?! I didn't even miss one shot!" She exclaimed, bouncing over to hug you. You hugged her back and smiled.

"Yeah I saw that! You sure are improving, darling!" You complimented her. She giggled and picked up her gun, unloaded the last bullet, and put it away. She hugged you once more and left the room. You turned to Adam.

"Hey I really want to thank you for taking over my position. It's been a long month, but I'm finally feeling myself again." You spoke. He smiled.

"That's great, I'm glad General, but there's one thing you need to do before you can have your position back." He smirked.

"What's that?" You asked. He motioned for you to follow him, so you two left the gun range and walked to the gym. He stood in the center of the room and peeled off his shirt, then stood staring at you.

"Come on. Fight me." He smirked. You didn't reply for a moment, thinking about why he wanted to do this. You decided he wanted to test your strength after your month "vacation". It made sense to you so you stretched a little and walked closer.

"Alright you asked for it." You taunted and matched his smirk.

He threw a punch but you dodged it and shuffled left. You reached for his neck but he grabbed your arm and twisted it back. You tried to grab his neck with your other arm but he kicked your legs out from underneath you and you fell. You laid on the floor just catching your breath. He stood over you and chucked.

"Come on! That all you got?" He taunted. You glared but made no movement to get up. You arm was throbbing, since he twisted the one that was tore by a Mirelurk just about a month ago. It healed a since then, but it would get sore once in a while and the scars ached. "You want to be General? Get up!" Adam hissed. A pang in your chest made you shoot up and lunge at him in anger. You pulled your arm back and threw a punch, successfully splitting his lip. He stumbled back with wide eyes. You paused to see if he wanted to continue or if you went to far. He smirked and came at you again. His arm wrapped around your neck and he pulled you forward. You punched him in the stomach and he tripped, taking you to the ground with him. You rolled over so your head wouldn't hit the ground and out of Adam's grip.

In the next second, Adam rolled on top of you and wrapped his hands around your throat. He didn't squeeze hard because he didn't want to actually hurt you but it was still uncomfortable. You wrapped your legs around his waist and flipped him over. Your fingers dug into pressure points in his shoulders and he released your neck. He tried to grab your arms but his hands were shaking and weak. You pinned down his wrists and sat on his stomach. You both were breathing heavy and Adam smiled up at you weakly.

"Mercy.." He panted. You stood up slowly and backed off. Just then the door opened, Max and Barney walked in. They came up and Max hugged you, his eyes were teary.

"Congrats general! You can have your position back." Adam chuckled. Max kissed you and gave Adam a fist bump and Barney hugged after. Finally, Adam also gave you a hug. Everything was great and you all had a celebratory feast that night before settling into bed.
