"You're getting slow," Gwenyth said, clutching her side."Pathetic, aren't you supposed to be better than this?" Echo stood, rather shaky, glower permanently set across her face. "No, you're just taking advantage of the fact that this body is only one year old." Echo licked the blood off of the side of her lips and removed her spare dagger. "Plus, you're taking advantage of the fact that I've only got one arm right now!" Gwenyth rolled her eyes and struck Echo behind the knees sending her sprawling. "Excuses, come on, I want another lap around the gym, then we can go at it again." Echo took off, making quick work of the running, like she always did. They needed to rebuild her stamina, which had significantly lowered thanks to the combination of surgery and bed rest. Echo felt no far, she knew that she would be whipped into shape right quick and then would be back to missions.
"If you think you're going to tire me out by running then you'd best think again." Echo bit down on her cheek to keep from crying out as a headache pulsed at her temples. "Echo, you'd best sit down." Echo shook her head, "No, again." She insisted and with a sigh Gwenyth took her stance, Echo lasting no longer then she had the other ten times. "Please, you're injuring yourself. Just sit down, or I'll order you to." Echo had yet to tell Gwenyth she could resist those commands, but she took a seat, clearly unhappy with it. "Here, drink," Echo uncapped her bottle of water and chugged the contents, hoping that she wouldn't feel this sluggish for the rest of her life "Now, let's start on your form. It's clear you've never had any formal fight training, so we're going to start from scratch."
Echo groaned, rising to her aching feet once more to take her stance. Gwenyth corrected her, making Echo stand with her legs shoulder length apart and her hands at her side, no longer balled in fists. They went at it for another two hours, until supper was called. Echo was dead tired at this point, her feet dragging ever so slightly on the ground. "I need food, I'm so hungry I could eat the whole of Scotland Yard." Gwenyth laughed, "Rubbish, you could eat more than that." She challenged, allowing Echo to go in front of her in the line for food. "See Flo anywhere?" Echo inquired and Gwenyth shook her head. "Sorry, no, but I'm sure they'll be here soon." Echo ground her teeth together, "Curse my shortness." Gwenyth rolled her eyes, it was common knowledge that Echo was only as fast as she was because of how small she was. If Gwenyth made her any bigger, she would lose the advantage of her speed.
They took a table, but Echo didn't see Flo at dinner because she fell asleep at the table. The next few days were just as busy,
with Echo near sleep by the time she and Flo had a time to catch up. In only a few short weeks Echo was making leaps and bounds in her training and Gwenyth was rather proud of the result. Soon enough they were going for their three month check up at the Boston Hospital for Children. The Doctors too, were impressed by the results of Echo's determination.
