Chapter 21

Scenario sparing

"There must be a mistake, this can't be right!" Said Fury. "No one is to speak of this to Agent Romanoff, (l/n), or Barton. In fact I don't want to hear it mentioned just keep looking into it in secret."

---------------------------------------1300 hours (the training room)-----------------------------

You walked into the training room, to your surprise the only other people there were Clint and Natasha. You walked up to them.

"So, what are we going to do?" You asked.

"Archery," Said Clint.

"Sparing," Said Natasha. You looked at them and thought hard.

"How about scenario sparing?" You asked.

"What on earth is scenario sparing?" Question Clint.

"Well, I give you a scenario. That includes what equipment you have with you and who you're fighting. Then you fight under those circumstances," You said, hoping they understood what you were getting at.

"Okay then. You go first," Said Natasha.

"Okay, give me a scenario," You replied.

"You are fighting me. It is completely dark and you can't see a thing, you only have your fists to fight with," Said Natasha.

"Okay… Clint find me a blindfold," You said. He did and tied it around your head. You couldn't see a thing. You were on the mat and you knew Natasha was across from you.

"Begin," Said Clint with amusement in his voice. You decided that meant that Natasha didn't have a blindfold and could see you. You listened carefully and focused on every little noise. Do to your instincts you could tell she was somewhere forward and to your left. She also moved really silently, you could only just barely make out the sound of her footsteps. Then you heard the sharp cut of wind as Natasha's first came at you. You stepped to your right knowing she was present on your left. Her punch missed but barely, to have had a successful hit she would have to had stepped forward, meaning since you had stepped right, she was directly next to you. Your instincts agreed with your brain. You turned to your right throwing a wild card punch to Natasha. You only hit air. Her presence was now forward and to the right of you and you could hear her feet shuffle backwards. That was good, it meant your punch had caught her off guard. She didn't expect you to have known she was next to you. You squatted down sticking on leg straight out and spun around, sweeping Natasha's legs out from under her. You heard the thud as she hit the ground. You backed away from where she was. That's when Natasha decided to step up her game. She made her movements even quieter and made herself barely known. You struggled with this, you couldn't depend on your eyesight, and know you couldn't depend on your hearing unless she threw a punch. You just had to trust your instincts from this point on. Your instincts told you she was moving along your right flank to get behind you.

"Moving behind me won't do any good," You said, trying to catch her off guard.

"I'm not moving behind you," Said Natasha, her voice clearly coming from a yard in front of you. You heard Clint laugh, he was the one behind you.

"Darn you Clint," You said, "Stop moving you're messing me up." You tried to focus all your senses in front of you to where you had heard Natasha's voice. She wasn't there she had moved and was slowly approaching on your right. You moved to your left facing her. You could tell she stopped.

"Before we continue, tell me, are you cheating?" Asked Natasha.

"No I can't see a thing," You said waving a hand in front of the blind fold on your face.

"Then how can you tell where I am?" Asked Natasha.

"I can tell where you are because I've got my own specialties," You replied. "Clint has his aim and his eyesight. I have my strength and my instincts."

"But Clint's abilities come from practice. Strength can come from practice too, but I don't know about heightened senses," Said Natasha.

"Oh, well, I guess you caught me," You said Jokingly. "I had some chemicals spilled on me. They can have some crazy effects sometimes, huh? You know like The hulk. He is a result from a lab. Only I don't turn into a rage monster." All of a sudden you were flat on your back gasping for breath. "What just happened?" you asked, pulling off your blindfold.

"You let your guard down when you talk," Said Natasha.

"Oh," You replied.

I don't own marvel, I don't own you. But I can tell you, Your awsome.
