After my talk with Kyle I headed back to the living area mainly to get some sleep it was 17:45, but I didn't feel hungry. Ya his story kind of made me lose my appetite, I mean sure my mother had been a bit pushy, but never anything like he described. When I arrived back at our quarters I could hear an argument just in front of the door. "Listen to me you dickless cuck you can't just keep beating down on someone just because their weaker then you!" It was stopper and she was arguing with 38 and really pissed by the sound of it "Can't you just go easy on her once so she can learn properly?" "And why would I do that?" "Because you can't just keep beating on her without having any repercussions!" "And you just can't assume everything will be handed over to you." Her anger grew "You think your so high and mighty because you've been a captain longer then me, but that doesn't mean shit anymore." All he did. in reply was step forward, she didn't say anything she just backed up a bit then walked away. 38 just stood there and sighed "You can come out Alex." I flinched as soon as I heard my name "Yes sir?" "How much did you hear?" "Only the end of it." Most of the time even with his sunglasses you could tell his mood, but as I stood there I really couldn't figure it out he just looked at me and turned around "Next time respect others conversations you hear me." His tone wasn't anger more annoyed at best which was unusual especially after an argument. I enter the living quarters and headed to my room and turned in for the night. The next day I woke up early and headed to the lunch room had breakfast then headed immediately to the training area where I was immediately being pounded into the ground by 38 "Come on Alex break the hold." He had my arm in a lock I was using all of my strength to get out, but it proved to be difficult. He sighed and then the familiar sound of my shoulder dislocating rang in my ear as I lay there starring at the ceiling 38 just stood over me "Your not howling in pain anymore thats a start." "I would laugh, but it would only hurt me too." Kyle came to pick me up and as I walked over to the wall I could hear someone angrily screamed "That does it!" I turned to see stopper standing up from her seat with her Lt. gleefully smiling "38 you and me are going to spar!" Silence fell over the arena as everyone stared dumbfounded by Stoppers demand, but 38 just stood there with his arms crossed "No I don't have the time to put an idiotic child in their place." He immediately went to writing on a clip board. Stopper wasn't having it and her smile said it all "Oh thats fine I totally get it you need time to plow your Lt." The only sound we could hear was his pencil snapping. He turned with a murderous glare "That got your attention." She jumped into the arena as I found a sit next to Charmer. Ok to be honest I don't know what was more interesting the fact that two captains were going to spare or the fact that Charmer seemed to have sparkles in her eyes at the prospect of watching the match "So do you like watching sparing matches to?" She looked appalled by my question "Oh no I hate watching them." "Sorry for the assumption mama. So then why are you here?" "Well because 38 is here and if he's sparing then I must watch it. And your forgiven Agent Alex." The sound of her voice when she said 38 was a definite sign she liked him. I turned my attention to the match as I watched Stopper and 38 get ready "Ready.....BEGIN" 38 began to do something weird, but didn't get to finish before Stopper snapped her finger before our eyes 38 started to move slowly as if time slowed down. And yes it did but only for him, Stopper was laughing up a storm "So that's what I needed to fear? That slow piece of shit please ha he you shouldn't have taken me lightly." Her grin was repulsive she acted all high and mighty "Hey maybe you should take your time Captain due to his attitude." Echo company continued to laugh up a storm, but as I looked at the other company captains they had the look that something bad was about to happen. 38 kept moving in slow motion and was trying to place his hand on the ground. Stopper walked up to him with a smirk "I don't know what your trying, but...." her speech was cut short as she was forced to the ground. She was having trouble getting up as I turned to look at 38 I was seeing him with his hand on the ground. Stopper was shouting to her Lt. "Manipulator change the fucking gravity already!" "I can't mama he might be planetary class. Your best bet might be to restart time for him." Stopper did just that probably wanting the feeling to stop. 38 stood up and walked to her still lying on the ground and without skipping a beat slammed his foot onto her hand she screamed in pain and coiled into a ball holding her hand. "I'm not done with you yet." 38 was angrier then normal he picked her up off the ground and immediately slammed her head into the wall and then repeatedly kicked her unconscious body nobody did a thing they just watched in horror as he continued to kick Stopper. Hawkeye ran into arena and wrapped her arms around 38. He stopped to look at her and he stepped away from Stopper then he yelled "Someone get her to medical." The room was still frozen in fear from the brutal display we just saw, no one wanted move, but eventually someone took her to medical. As we all headed out of the training area I saw Sam and 38 were talking "Look I know you hate it when people say things like that, but you can't keep beating them to a pulp." "Well maybe it's because I don't like people implying you and I are dating." "I know and it's annoying too me to, but we can't let that get to us. Look if you took off those glasses..." he stepped away from her "Look I have my reasons." Sam sighed "Ok I'll let you talk with Alex for a bit." I realized they knew I was there as she walked away "So you and Sam?" His glare was as clear as day, but he relaxed after a few seconds and sighed "Look I don't like people implying that as I've never seen her as anything more then my daughter as I practically raised." He seemed determined with the answer, to me it seemed odd that he could say something about that with someone that looks a little older then him. Of course I had to remind myself that 38 may look young, but he's nearing his late 50's. He arched an eyebrow "What?" "Oh sorry I keep forgetting how old you are and it's get confusing." "Ok then." He walked off towards the lunch hall while I headed to the medical for them to relocate my arm.
