Team Nightwatch

Not a Problem

     I was standing in Beacon's ruins again, looking at the guy who looked so much like me.  He had his arms folded over his chest and his smirk was missing.
     "You gonna use that in every fight?" He asked.  "Because it doesn't seem like you can handle it.... " 
     "Not all of us are used to doing it," I retorted.  " not everyone knows exactly how to do it without expending so much energy.... "  He scoffed and looked away.  "Look, I'm doing the best I can...."
     "You need more than that with your job now," he snapped.  "You've gotten yourself in to something that's much bigger than you...and you did it of your own choice.  You have to learn to control the power inside you...."
    
     My eyes opened to see a dot of light with three darker shapes surrounding it.  I couldn't make out who it was but my vision was refocusing slowly. 
     "By the Brothers, the zombie lives," Destiny said, smirking.
     "I don't look that bad, do I?" I inquired. 
     "That was my first question."  I looked passed Destiny and saw Ivory with her teammates.  She didn't look too bad, save for the couple cuts and bruises from our fight.
      "So I look okay, right?" I asked.
      "You're not my type," she began, smiling, "but you're fine...."  I laid back against my pillows and made to get up.
     "You need to sit still," Leah said, putting a hand on my chest.  Despite her warning, I stood up.  To tell you the truth, I don't know if it's my aura or what but I feel fine.  I walked around my team to look at Ivory.
     "So you going to introduce us, or should we just leave?"  Two of her teammates were girls, the other a big guy.
     "The big guy is Daniel," he raised his hand.  "The bride's Eleanor and the ginger is Callie."  They both smiled.  "How about yours?"
     "The short one is Destiny," I began.  She punched my arm but smiled.  "The black haired one is Isabel."  She held up a peace sign.  "And the blonde is Leah."
     "Hello!" She said brightly.  We all just looked at each other, not uncomfortable but kind of okay with it.
     "Oobleck came in while you were out," Ivory mentioned.  "He asked if we wanted a rematch or just give it up...call it a draw."
     "I don't mind if I lose," I admitted.  "I just wanted to show people what I can do.  You understand, right?"  She smiled and gave me a short nod.  "Okay then.  I'll go find Oobleck and tell him....  Come on, girls." 
     We walked out of the infirmary before Leah spoke up.
     "So you don't want to fight?" She asked.  I cracked my knuckles and was thinking about my bed back in the dorm. 
     "I'm tired of training for a while," I replied.  "I'm done for the tournament.  Still hpoing for a Beacon victory though...."
