Daniel stood up to follow Evelyn out of the room and when he got to the doorway he stopped hearing his name, "...but Daniel. Are we pushing him a bit too much?" was all he heard before he left. He frowned, not because his trainer was doubting him but that he was having those same thoughts, but he didn't want to be weak and fragile like he used to be. This wasn't high school and there weren't any bullies here, and then Daniel came to a realization, that there were bullies here only they were much bigger with superhuman abilities like his own. His heart stopped for a moment then another, it only started again when he was in his own room his back pressed against the door ears ringing and face pail as the ghost of Christmas past.
He slunk down to the floor where comic books were strewn across it like leaves in autumn. he sat on his floor for a long while replacing his converse with sneakers but overall not doing much but thinking all the while. He was beginning to get nervous and nerves led to fear which was the one thing that made him lose control. His left arm was beginning to shake but he quickly grabbed it with the other forcing himself to breathe and calm down telling himself that he was ready for this he had all the training that he needed and damn it if he wasn't going to do a good job. He decided on treating this like any old mission and not get so worked up about it, Daniel stood up letting out a deep sigh before walking out the door. Now mentally prepared for the mission he was ready to go.
