Angel In Disguise

Chapter 3: Taking Flight

BEEP BEEP! Angela slapped the top of her alarm clock, reading 5:00 am.  She groaned, rising from her pillow, stretching her arms in the air.  She walked groggily over to her bathroom, splashing cold water on her face to wake herself up.  She got dressed quickly, made herself a scrambled egg, and got in her car to travel to the hospital.

Angela walked out of her car to the grand French doors of the hospital, unlocking them and walking inside.  She walked over to Genji's bed, stirring him gently. "Good morning, Genji" she whispered softly as he yawned, opening his eyes.

"Good morning Doctor" he said, looking up into her crystal blue eyes. 

"After what you showed us yesterday, I feel that you are ready to begin your training.' she explained to him, hoping that he would agree.

"I have to admit, I feel good enough to start," he replied, hoping to impress her with the physical challenge.

"I'll see you in the East Wing of the hospital at 10:00 sharp, room 115." Dr. Ziegler pronounced to Genji.

"I'll be there, Doctor" he flirted faintly with her.

"Uh.. okay. See you there Genji." she responded confused, not detecting the flirting in his tone.  Angela walked away, going to check on another patient.
Genji passed the time before he had to meet Angela, thinking about his old life in Japan.  He also got an egg sandwich from the hospital cafeteria, but that was a lot less meaningful.

Finally, it was 10:00am, and time to begin Genji's physical therapy/training session.

He walked to the East Wing of the hospital, reading room 115.  He strolled in, and was astonished to see a huge gym, lined with squishy blue mats on the floor, and racks of weapons on the wall.  There was any exercise machine you could think of, as well as hundreds of weights to lift.

Dr. Ziegler walked in, wearing a slim blue track suit, and carrying her staff.

Wow. Genji thought... she looks beautiful.

"Right on time Genji" she said as she walked over to him.

"Hello Dr. Ziegler," he announced "I am ready to begin my rehabilitation."

"Great attitude!" Angela complimented "That is the first step in healing.  You need to keep a positive attitude at all times throughout this process."

"Understood"

He grabbed a sword similar to his own from off the wall and swung it through the air to get a feel for it.  Dr. Ziegler set her staff down and grabbed a similar one, running towards him quickly.  The two fought and trained, sword against sword.  Genji defended himself, flashing his sword and propelling himself off the wall. 

Angela was impressed.  He seemed to have healed extremely quickly.  His combat would need a little work before the next battle with Talon, but hopefully they would have time.

Genji knocked the sword out of her hands and stuck his into the mat.

"Very good" she admitted. "We will meet here every day at 10:00 am to train and get you ready for the next time you go into battle with us.

She wiped a drop of sweat from her forehead. "You gave me quite a workout today! I'll see you tomorrow, same time, same place.

"Sounds good to me Angela" Genji responded. "See you tomorrow"
