[font="Garamond"]The robotic simulator had done well. No one seemed to catch on that their opponent was actually the three dimensional illusion provided by the headset he gave them. What looked like bulky training pads were actually high tech equipment designed more to hurt them than the other way around. A punch in the chest would result in a nerve shock from the chest plate, being tripped would result in an intense nerve shock in the legs. These feelings are very realâ?¦ however the opponent they could see was just an illusion. The technology did have its limits though. You can only fight someone you truly knowâ?¦ and that person is usually only yourself.
[b]â??Sandy, I am afraid you are not ready for this type of training yet. Once you have a better grasp on your powers I will let you try.â?[/b] Felix had wanted Sekeri to try it, since she was always battling inner demons anyway, but he could tell he was going to have to wait another day. He had noticed her hiding in the break room, but thought that if she would go to such lengths to avoid him, a confrontation would be the worst thing he could do.

â??Okay,â?[/b] Sandy said with little hesitation. [b]â??Iâ??d rather practice shooting anyway,â?[/b] sandy stated rather matter-of-factly.
Felix gave him a red card, [b]â??this opens up the door and the ammunition chest. Please donâ??t lose it.â?
[/b]
[b]â??Okayâ? [/b]was all that Sandy said before cramming it into his pocket.
Elena stretched out a bitâ?¦ finally free of the training equipment. [b]â??So I think I am gonna go take a break before we do anything else. Wanna watch some TV with me Sandy?â?[/b] to which he nodded and followed happily. She opened the door and let Sandy pass first, [b]â??You know... you are always welcome to come too Felix.â? [/b]
She is always so considerate, [b]â??No, I have to clean up here.â?[/b] she shrugged and closed the door behind her.
A pitiful excuse. Why couldnâ??t he just risk getting a bit closer to his team. He trusted them with his life, why was it so hard to trust them with his heart.
He shook it off.
If he cared about them at all, he would have to stay strong, and continue to put his job first. A man like him doesnâ??t have much to live for, so to be given this last chance to make a difference means everything to him.
He shook that off too.
It is time to get to cleaning.[/font]
