Chapter 17 - Initiation-2

Raven *Huff*... * Huff * ...

" I-I can't go on ...thi-this is too much for me *huff*.. My legs are shaking.."

Leon chuckles " Oh my dear Raven, We're not done yet ..."

* Sweaty breathing ensues*

" No .. I--i can't it's too much *Huff*.."

" COME ON!!! JUST ONE MORE

PUSH-UP!!! YOU CAN DO IT !! JUST DO IT !!!.." Leon.

" Nooo.. * Shakes her head * I'm done.." says Raven before flopping down the floor lifeless.

" Tsk... Tsskk... Kids this days, back in my day we used to run over water like Jesus and cross an ocean to reach school minimum 500 kms back and forth daily and you're getting tired over this ... * Shakes head *..."

Raven annoyed but still on the floor scoffs and gives a deadpan stare,

Not even deigning to give that nonsense a response. Raven Continues her heavy breathing,

Before turning to lay on her back on the floor.

Leon due to the leagues visit wanted to train Raven to learn how to fight and throw off the enemy so now they're both in houses

lower-floor gym that Leon often uses.

It is definitely not because Leon got bored and could not train with his right arm broken that he's doing this... Definitely not.

That leads up to the present moment where Leon and Raven are training together underground, Raven sporting a Black sports bra with skin-tight purple pants accentuating her curves in all the right areas, Leon with wearing a black compact compression long-Sleeved Tee with an obi and white zubon.

Looking down at the figure lay sprawled on the floor Leon gazes upon Raven's face before shifting his stare to her neck then neckline then.... * Clicks his tongue before shaking his head *... " Kids these days grow up so fast when she's already on par with Hinata ..." Muses Leon before he dodges a shadow strike aimed at his face.

"Come on get up let's go over hand to hand fighting methods ..."

An exhausted Raven can do nothing but get up and swear to herself she'll throw in a few shadow punches to Leon's annoying face before she passes out.

Leon floating in the arm finally descends and stands infront of Raven..." Alright so let's go over the rules, I'll try to dodge your attacks do whatever you can to land a hit with no powers ... " Raven Nods ..

" Begin..!! "

Raven throws a right hook only for Leon to step to her right by a little and easily avoid it.

She follows with a backhand strike from the same hand she used for a hook but Leon just moves his head back with straying from his initial position.

Pulling back her hands, she overcommits to a high kick giving Leon the perfect chance to bend down to do a low sweep kick and knock her down easily off her feet.

With a smug smile, " Breathe between your attacks and never lose your centre of gravity .." Bedore Leon gives Raven his left hand to help her up, which she takes with her left hand as well only to pull him closer while a shadow hand sprouts from the back of his neck and pulls his head down at the same time, making him bend his knees and stumble abit.

Giving Raven the perfect chance to land a right-hook to Leon's smug face.

Leon now the one on the with his ass on the floor is rubbing his face in disbelief, " Yo--You cheated !!.."

Raven now walking towards the door with an exaggerated sway of her hips and a smile you can't help but think getting punched might've been worth it, Not stopping she turns her head " All's fair in love and war right..? *Wink*.." as she continues walking away.

Leaving Leon to sit exasperated and chuckle at the exchange on the floor of the Gym.

Abit Later after dinner,

While enjoying their well-made and perfectly cooked chicken wings and fries.

( Sarcasm if you didn't catch it cuz Raven can't cook so they ordered )

Raven watches Leon focusing on the screen but seemingly lost in thought before asking. " How's your arm now...Leo? "

" Hmm? My arm ? Oh it should heal fully in about 2 or 3 days now .."

Raven genuinely surprised voiced out her thought " So quick? But It's only been a week since you got injured.. even if you're a saiyan it shouldn't be that fast right ?"

With a smug grin on his face Leon muses

" Did you forget I healed you with my Kí before, When we first met ?.."

Raven shakes her head in disbelief " when you said 2-3 weeks i thought that was already quick but now I think this is just cheating.."

Leon gives a knowing smirk " it's better like that I havnt gained full control over My Kí I guess I need to learn meditation like you since it's connected to control as well I know I can do much more with my Kí but I can't seem to find the balance.."

Raven puts a hand on Leon's resting thigh before nodding, " You'll learn we have time Leo we don't need to rush .." Leon agrees outwardly but inwardly he can't stop but remember how dangerous their current world is especially since the timelines are scrambled. Raven shakes her head feeling Leon's worry before changing the topic

" So when do we go meet the justice league again..?"

The Question pulls Leon out of his thoughts when he recalls their last meeting with the league before his gaze hardens finally saying with a grim realisation of the things about to unfold

" Independence day ".
