Chapter 7: Kid Gloves Are Off.

Three months had past since joining the agencies know as Division 38. I was currently losing another sparring match with Kyle my 100th in a row "Come on Alex you need to get better." I sat there after being knocked to the ground all I could do was sigh "Look I understand this is for my own defense in a mission, but couldn't I just use a handgun instead?" He placed his hand on his forehead and shook his head "Handguns are good in some situations, but there will be times where fighting hand to hand is your only option." Geez was that seriously how he thought "Hey cheer up Alex you'll get the hand of it." Sam was yelling from the seats along the walls that surround the arena apparently when no one had anything to do they would come here to see if anyone was practicing. "This is hopeless and they know it." "Hey cheer up Alex none of us we're good at CQC until we trained hard at it." "Ok, but could you go easier on me?" His expression soured "Alex if I go any easier I will need to start hitting you with a fluffy pillow." Well he wasn't wrong, but I need to build my skill from the ground up. It was during that thought that 38 finally said something. "This is hopeless at this rate she won't be ready." Kyle looked at the captain "Sorry sir, but I'm trying my best." 38 started walking down the stairs and right into the arena he took off his coat and placed on wall of the arena. "Ok Kyle its time to take off the kid gloves. I think it's time I took over." Hey if he was captain that was awesome I had thought, though my attitude quickly changed as soon as I saw all the color in Kyle's face drain away "Um sir is that a good idea?" 38 just looked at him he gave a gulp as he backed away. The other members of company Charlie and those of the other companies had noticed who was on the floor and started to focus more on it leaving their conversation in the air I looked over at Sam who was covering her eyes. Ok so what was going to happen? "Are you ready?" He stood their in some sort of fighting stance his fist readied. "Ya I am." I took my own stance with my fist in front of me. Kyle looked on from the side sighed and yelled "BEGIN." I ran at 38 swung at him I missed and after which I started feeling like I was being picked up while my vision started moving first I saw the ceiling, then I saw what had been behind me, then everything went dark.

When I awoke Sam, Kyle, Cat, and Steven were all around waiting for me to wake up. "Oh good she's alive." Sam was looking at me smiling as usual I had gotten use to seeing her like that so it was something good to wake up to. "Uh my head what the hell happened." Steven was the first to respond "Well you made the one of the two mistake you can do in company Charlie." "Which is?" Cat answered this question "The first one is don't eat Kyle's cooking or else all food will taste bland afterwards." "It's true." Cat continued after Kyle interrupted "The second is never spare with Agent 38 as he will not go easy on you." "Ok but what he do?" "Oh he side stepped your punch went behind you then German Suplexed your ass knocking you out for the past 2 hours." Well that explained why my head was killing me. "So what did everyone else in the area due?" "Not much they were all thankful that they weren't you in that moment." "Gee what swell agents I work with. Wait were's 38?" "Oh somewhere else probably training." "Seriously so after knocking me out he went immediately to more training?" They all nodded, so knocking me out didn't even tire him out ok that hurts more then my head well mostly. I started to get up as soon as I did my brain started to pound harder on my skull. My legs started giving way Cat and Sam caught me "You'll still be in pain for the time being let's just get you to the dinning area and eat dinner." I nodded which I realized was a stupid idea it didn't help me any further. We all arrived at the dinning area my head still spinning 38 walked up to us "How's her head?" Cat answered "Still spinning no thanks to you couldn't you have gone a bit easier on her?" "Well how is she supposed to learn if we keep using kid gloves? " "That's not the point why did you choose that counter?" He didn't say anything he just made a clicking sound with his tongue and walked back to his table. Cat let out an annoyed grunt "grrr couldn't he be a little nicer to people?" Sam put her hand on Cat's shoulder "It's just how he is. Come on let's just get our meals and sit down." We did. while we ate there was a conversation going on over at Bravo's table between their three new members "Ok if you could choose your power what would it be?" The girl Answered "Oh flight so it would be easier to get around places." "Ok how about Kevin?" He answered "Why immortality of course." I heard a fork drop over at the captains table and when I turn to look I could see Martial looking at his companies table trying desperately to mouth "shut up" but Kevin kept talking "I mean you can live forever be able to meet and date as many woman as you want what's not to like?" Now Martial was mouthing "shut the fuck up." But he stop as soon 38 decided to enter the conversation "So you think immortality would be a good power?" Kevin looked at him and just smirked "I mean ya with my looks it's disappointing that women in the future won't get to meet me." Geez where'd they find this douche bag? 38 got up and walked over to him Kevin's smirk disappeared when he saw 38 glaring at him. Which seeing that he wore sunglasses all the time made it more terrifying when he glared because even though his eyes were covered you could still feel them. "Do you really think that's a good power really?" Kevin's voice started trembling "Well I uhhhh.." Ya 38 had that effect on people "Well let me explain what you might experience if you were immortal you would spend years enjoying it for a time because no matter what anybody does to you they just can't seem to kill you. After the years go by you start to feel alone as everyone else around you grows old and dies as you keep continuing to live on. And as further years past you start wanting to end it all from the shear loneliness, but of course you can't because your fucking immortal!" His face contorted into a very terrifying growl with him still glaring. The girl at the table finally found the courage to talk "Excuse me captain can you live forever?" His expression changed back to his neutral face and he answered "No I'm a Regen type not the same thing." With those last words he went back to his seat. Now this just made me more curious about my captain."
