I went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to drink because to be completely honest, hanging from a tree with a rope around your neck really doesn't sit well with your throat. I found a bottle of water, I chugged the water down and threw it to the side, wiping my mouth. I looked to the side and someone was looking at their rifle, I wanted to improve my fighting style but I didn't know if they had a training room or not. I went over to the guy and figured I ask.

"Hey, I need to ask you something" I said

"Oh! hey Dash! it's such an honor to be working with you" said the guy

"Wow...I must have left an impression when I defeated Mr. Delacroix" I said, rubbing the back of my head.

"You sure did! You're probably known across the entire world...anyway what did you need to know?" The guy asked

"Do you guys have some sort of training room?" I asked

"Oh, you bet we do! It's not the best but..it gets the job done, it's over in the garage" said the guy

"Alright, thanks" I said

"By the way, the names Jason" said the guy

I waved goodbye and made my way to the garage, when I got inside I saw what was inside. There were treadmills and weightlifting machines everywhere, there was also a punching bag in the center of the room, I didn't notice it at first but there was a girl at the bad, and she knocked the whole thing off.

"That was good, your doing really well" said a guy

"It's not good enough! I have to be stronger" said the girl

I walk up next to the girl, smiling.

"I don't know...you seem pretty strong as it is" I said

The girl turns around and looks at me, and her eyes lit up like stars

"Oh my god...y...y...your" said the girl, putting her hands over her mouth

"Yes, I'm well aware of who I am, I'm Dash, nice to meet you" I said, holding out my hand

She threw her arms around me, pulling me into a tight hug. I could barely breathe.

"Oh my god you're the Dash, I'm your biggest fan!" she says, screaming

"Glad to see I left an impression" I said

She looks at me smiling, then looks down at my body.

"Wow...I have to say your pretty cut out" she says, smirking.

She grabs my arm and pulls herself closer to me.

"I like me the strong type~" the girl says, winking

I could tell she was obviously flirting with me, I shrugged it off as if trying to be a naive kid.

"Hey, you wouldn't mind if I use this room for a while" I said

"Oh sure sure, anything for you, I can show you some of the stuff we have" the girl said

She showed me around, I saw all the equipment and to be honest, they had pretty good stuff for just a garage. She was holding onto my arm the entire time. It kinda made me uncomfortable.

"Hey, I never got your name" I asked

"Oh...it's Jessica" she said

She seemed to blush after that, she is must really be head over heels for me, What did I do though? Was it because of me just defeating Delacroix?

"Anyway...I got to get ready for the mission tomorrow" Jessica said

"Oh! You're going to?" I asked

"Yeah! Maybe if I'm lucky I'll be part of your team~" she giggled

I'm not sure Abby will get along with this girl, She leaves the room, bouncing out the door as she does, I go over to the punching bag and begin to give it a few good punches before I go all out.I start practicing kicks, I do some sidekicks, tornado kicks, and other roundhouse style kicks. I give it a few more attacks before I stop, feeling as if the punching back had enough for one day, I turn around and leave the garage. I make my way through the crowded living room, up the stairs, and into the room, I woke up in. I lay down on the bed, falling asleep.
