Intense Training

"Come in Sam."

Welcoming him inside, Xavier placed his arm around his shoulder as if they were close friends and led him over to the others.

Achara had seen Sam pass Xavier a paper slip with his phone number on it, but she never expected Sam to be so relaxed around Xavier and also agree to come over.

And he seemed unbothered by Xavier's arm around him and just as dull as she had previously seen him be, but Achara and Connor seemed to have caught his eye.

"The Unstoppable Killer, I presume, and he looks pretty good too," he commented bluntly.

"Unstoppable Killer?" Karim and his friends questioned in confusion.

Clearing her throat, Achara explained, "It's just a nickname I got. Don't worry about it."

Of course, they were still curious, but a simple glare from Achara and Connor intimidated them enough to not mention it.

Connor had heard everything that had happened from Xavier, and although he skipped out a few of the details, it was clearly quite a sore topic for Achara.
