So a park, mostly likely Central Park. Not that far far away from Chinatown and she must have had so much free time she would have made it easily. But where in Central? Where can she hide and yet fight given enough time? Where can she fight without having people try and stop them because they didn't realise this was training?
I opened my phone pulled up a map. I searched and searched until I landed on the perfect spot.
"Guys," I got their attention, "I think I know where she is."
"What, how?" Agie asked surprised.
I smiled, "just a guess."
It took some time, but I convinced them to follow me. I brought them to the Park and we began looking around the South West gate, the place with the least amount of people and wide open space.
And in a few short minutes we found her standing by a fountain, eating ice cream. We held back, hiding behind the trees, watching her, she didn't look at us she didn't know we were here.
"Alright here's the plan, Agie, you and Brandon distract her, Peter and I will sneak up and grab the blade. I'll run back to the dojo while the three you hold her off. Got that?" Marcus ordered.
"No offence man, but that's a stupid ass plan," I snorted.
"What?" he asked raising an eyebrow. Was he trying to intimidate me? Really? Who the hell does he think he is? I'm Peter fucking Parker!
"It's too open, she chose this place for a reason Marc," I pointed, "a few people, not enough for us to hide behind. She'll spot them a mile away and us just as quick."
"What's your idea then?"
"We wait, wait for her to move, or make her move. Do something to distract her and the people around her to draw the attention away. And then we strike."
"Peter, no, that will never work, the moment we do that she'll be on us," Brando shook his head, "we go with Marc's plan."
"Yeah, I'm with Marc on this," Agei agreed.
I glared, "then good luck doing it without me."
"Peter, this supposed to be a team exercise!" Marcus hissed, "we need you with us!"
"No, it's a stupid plan Marc and it will not work, listen to me. We have to distract her first before anything else!"
"No Peter, we've been over this," the boy sighed, "fine, you want to come you don't have too. Come on guys, we can do this ourselves." The other two nodded as they got into position.
They looked so confident, so determined….I give them five minutes
Six minutes later:
Colleen chuckled as she walked away from the fountain with three of her students limping behind her, "did you really think you could have rushed me like that? Come on guys think!"
"We almost had you," Brandon grumbled.
"Almost isn't the same," Colleen smirked, "you needed to be smart about this. You should have distracted me first, then tried to grab the sword. Teamwork is important guys but so is forethought."
"Heh, funny, that's Peter said, guess we should have listened," Marcus grumbled as he rubbed ore shoulder.
"Wait, Peter was with you?" Colleen asked surprised, "where is he? Why didn't he fight?"
"He called us ideas stupid and refused to join in," Agie sighed, "guess he was right."
"Wait, he said it was stupid?" Colleen blinked as she walked under a bridge, following the road that lead to the nearest exit, "hm, maybe I should have a talk with him."
"Maybe," Marcus nodded.
As they walked to the other side of the bridge though Colleen saw the shadow of a person leap down. She stopped in surprise as I landed before her, stepping back in shock. I didn't let her recover.
I grabbed the strap of the katana around Colleen's body with one hand and kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying back as I pulled the sword over her head.
I looked at the other kids and winked, "in this case, you three were the distraction," I turned, and ran.
Marcus' face dropped, "so cool."
Colleen got up, her stomach hurt as she held in pain, but at the sight of me running away with her sword must have ticked her off. She got back on her feed chased me, yelling, "get back here!"
Marcus and the others began to run now as well, trying best to slow Colleen down, but our teacher wasn't to be underestimated. She threw off their attacks and continued chasing me, I turned around and grinned, 'now this is training!'
I ran out of the park and across traffic, not stopping for the signal. People yelled at me but I payed them no mind. I ran down an alley way and saw a fire escape leading to the roof top. Time to take this chase skyward.
I jumped onto the first floor sky escape, just as Colleen and the others managed to catch running into the alley as well. They watched in awe as I ran up to the roof and began jumping from building to building.
"Peter get back here!" I heard her yell.
"Make me!" I cried back.
I took me an hour to get to Chinatown, a freaking hour. I landed on the roof of the building that owned the Chikara dojo and climbed down the side. I was panting now, guess even I had my limits. But one hour of constant running? Not half bad.
I sat on the curb and waited, ten minutes later Colleen reached with the others following right behind her. They were all drenched in sweat, I stood up and grinned holding up the sword, "guess that means I win."
Colleen smiled, "okay, yeah, you win….just, let me catch my breath," she and the others collapsed on the building steps.
"Peter," Marcus spoke between pants, "next time, we'll do it your way."
I grinned, "sweet."
"You kick like a mule," Colleen groaned holding her stomach, "I swear it's like you kicked the lunch out of me."
