Training (Alexa)

[marcus greg collins]

Marcus had a rough day teaching he already had to put two students in detention for fighting in his class though Marcus knew that it wouldn’t be the last time that the two faugh in his classroom but Marcus would be ready for next time he had a few ideas on how to stop it but right now he though detention would be best for him and the class. The rest of the day was fine for the most part, it would seem that some students were interested in history and that put a smiled on Marcus’s face at least he would have the pleasure of teaching when students liked the class. Now Marcus was sitting at his desk he looked at the time which read three o’clock

Marcus sighed he really wished that he could just leave so he could be with his sister and begin teaching her Kung Fu he already had the lesson planned out. Marcus looked back at his laptop he was planning for the next classes he already pulled a surprise test on the senior class just to see how much they have learned in previous classes, now that was going to be fun for Marcus. Marcus leaned back into his chair as he typed away on his laptop. After finishing what he was typing, Marcus saved the document and turned his laptop of. Putting his laptop away into his bag he stepped outside and spotted Alexa waiting for him. “So ready for our lesson?” Marcus asked Alexa he fell silent as he waited for an answer from her.

Alexa had been bored for the rest of the day. She avoided Sky seeing as he was probably not in the mood to talk to her at the moment and she wasn't ready to talk to him yet either. She hadn't even gotten in trouble today either. It probably was because she was trying to keep herself as calm as possible and she wanted school to end so she could wait for her brother so they could go and train. Alexa loved it when her brother taught her new moves, he was good at it and it made her smile to know that with him teaching her, she would be able to protect herself real well. Alexa had gotten out of class and was ready to start setting up a lesson for Marcus. The only thing was that she needed to teach him basic hacking skills. Which was someone else's computer and hard drive. All those days of boredom in the last four years went to her experience with hacking, and not getting caught. It probably helped because she was the camera person for some of the web shows her friends did way back then.

Alexa had gone to her locker after school and put her binders away, making sure she had the homework she needed. Alexa then walked to her brother's classroom and waited outside the room. When he finished he came out and looked to her asking her if she was ready for her lesson. "Have my stuff with me, so I'm ready as I'll ever be." Alexa said.

Marcus stood there for a moment looking back at Alexa. Marcus was completely calm now he wasn’t angry like he was earlier today, though in his defense he was only trying to protect his little sister but from what he had found out that she could take care of herself now which was something completely different well in Marcus’s views anyway. Marcus was happy, happy that he was with his sister again he spoke to his parents only an hour ago on the phone and they were happy that he was back, he was having dinner with the family on Friday too. Marcus looked back at Alexa and smiled at what she said. “Well then we better get started than.” Marcus replied to her. Marcus began walking out of the school building and to the parking lot. His black 09 model Shelby Mustang was waiting for him.

“I got a new car too, kind of graduation present to me.” Marcus explained to Alexa. Marcus grabbed his keys from his pocket and unlocked the car. Walking around to the boot he opened it and threw his bag and some books that he didn’t need until the morning. Marcus opened the driver’s side door and climbed into his car; he closed the door behind him and turned the engine on. Marcus waited for his sister to climb into the car so they could get to his apartment and train it was going to be good to be training his sister once more he had missed the training lesson’s. Being a black belt in many martial art forms allowed Marcus to train his sister which was good.

Alexa followed her brother to his car and looked to it. It was really nice and she was tempted to ask if she could borrow it since Sky's car had a right hand steering wheel. Alexa got in the passenger side and put her seat belt on. "Nice car, mind if I borrow it when you aren't driving it around?" Alexa asked curiously wondering if her brother would let her drive his car. There were times where she knew that her brother didn't want her doing things that could effect him. Getting in an accident in his car would be one of them. But it never hurt to ask. Alexa set her bag on her lap and looked to her brother.

She was glad to be training under Marcus again. He was the best teacher she had and would never go to anyone else for martial arts training. Plus Marcus always helped her get better really fast when she didn't get something right away. He always encouraged her, making it seem like she could do the things that he made look easy. Most teachers would just say that she was doing something wrong and not help her to do better and then tell her she was a failure. With Marcus he was still honest but he helped her through her struggles and always told her that she could do anything she set her mind to. Alexa looked to Marcus waiting for him to start driving and answer her question.

[marcus greg collins]

Marcus climbed in and turned the engine on his new car he had gotten it a couple of days ago. Marcus grinned at his sister as he herd her ask if she could borrow it. “Sure just be careful she’s still bran new ok.” Marcus explained to Alexa. Marcus didn’t mind Alexa borrowing his car she could drive it anytime she wished. Marcus pulled out of the car park and turned into the road, soon enough he was driving downtown. Marcus didn’t know the city very well he had a GPS that was leading him to his apartment. Marcus finally knew where he was going he recognized the corner street shop which was like five houses away from his apartment building.

Marcus pulled into his parking space and turned of the engine. “You can stay the night if you want sis I have a spar bedroom in my apartment.” Marcus explained to Alexa as he climbed out of his car and closed the door. Once Alexa was out he locked his car with the press of his key button. Opening the door he waved to the landlord and told her that Alexa was his sister the one he had been talking to her about. “This is Gracie my landlord she’s a nice old lady.”

Marcus explained to Alexa. Marcus then made his way up the two flight of stairs and down the hallway. “I’m number twenty. There’s something like twelve floors in this apartment and most of them have people living there. My floor is full there’s a family next to mine a woman and four kids.” Marcus explained further to his sister. Marcus opened his door and allowed Alexa to go in first. Stepping inside Marcus admired his apartment. Close to them was his small gym, there was all kinds of gym equipment from there was the lounge which had a huge 150 inch plasma TV with surround sound system. Hooked up there was an X-Box360 and playstation 3.

From his lounge room was Marcus’s kitchen, all it had was a fridge small table enough to place four people comfortably a sink and benches. From there was two doors one closest to the kitchen was his bedroom then the spar room. There was also another door that lead to the bathroom which had a toilet and shower in the same room. A home computer system was nicely in the corner. "And this is my place. I have something for you too." Marcus said as he walked to his bedroom. A few moments passed and Marcus walked back out he handed a package that was wrapped up. Inside the package was a new black Gi set that he had got a friend to make for Alexa. "Here."

[alexa marie collins]

"Awesome. And don't worry Marcus, I've driven around crowed cities fine. You're car is in good hands." Alexa said with a smile. She was glad that she got to drive his car. Made it easier when she had to get stuff done but didn't want to take the bus or walk. And the fact that Sky's car was a little harder for her to drive because she was so used to the steering wheel on the left side of the car she didn't want to spend more than fifteen minute trying to figure out his car. When Marcus started driving she watched the GPS as he followed the directions toward his apartment. She knew that because Marcus had just moved, he wouldn't know where his place was for a while.

When Marcus pulled into a parking space she got out and closed the door as her brother had gotten out. She walked over to him as he locked his door with the key button. Alexa looked around and saw an old lady who her brother explained to her that she was Gracie, his landlord. Alexa silently waved with a soft polite smile. Then she followed Marcus inside the building. Apparently her brother had been telling people about her, which was nice seeing as he remembered her.

They walked up two flights of stairs and walked down the hallway. Alexa listened to Marcus as he explained how the apartment had twelve floors and that his floor was full and the next door neighbor had a mother and four kids. When Marcus opened the door she walked in first. It was a nice apartment, especially on a teacher's salary. Alexa looked around and saw the small gym with all his equipment, the lounge with a huge plasma. Funny how her own room had a plasma but she never used it. She was going to eventually but for something else. She noticed the two game systems. "Aren't you a bit old to be playing video games?" Alexa teasingly asked Marcus.

She saw the small kitchen which was obviously doubled as a dining area, then there was the two bedrooms and the bathroom. And then the computer in the corner. Alexa had her laptop with her but she wasn't sure what kind of computer Marcus had. Alexa had a Macbook for the sake of virus and bug control. Though she had modified her hard drive a little bit to fix the bugs for unresponsive programs when they froze up and you had to force quit them. She watched as Marcus left into his room and then came back with a wrapped up package. "Thanks." Alexa said. She unwrapped the box and opened it to find a new black Gi set. "Wow, Marcus, you really didn't have to you know..." Alexa said. She smiled and hugged Marcus with one arm.

"So, what kind of computer you have just so I have an idea of what I may have to do to it for the sake of hacking purposes." Alexa asked. She put the top of the package back in place as she'd change into later more than likely.

[marcus greg collins]

Marcus grinned at Alexa’s comment he knew that his car would be in safe hands. Marcus didn’t have a problem for his sister to borrow his car at all he knew that she could drive and all. Marcus watched his sister for a moment or two as she looked around his place. Being a teacher meant a good pay package, Marcus laughed at Alexa’s comment about the two game systems. “Well you know me sis I’ve never gotten out of it. I still love to play video games and probably never will stop playing them.” Marcus replied to Alexa. Marcus knew that Alexa was going teasing and he liked to tease his sister every now and again it was fun to do so.

Marcus watched for Alexa’s reaction to her new Gi set that he had made for her. Marcus befriended a Chinese family before he moved here and they had been so kind in making him a new Gi set but her sister one too. “That’s alright if you’ll notice there’s my symbol on the back.” Being a black belt means that you can start training students, though Marcus had only trained Alexa before now. The family had asked him if he had a symbol and after thinking about it for quiet some time he had come up with on. It was a dragon and a phoenix side by side with a serpent circled around them in gold. His symbol blended well with the black Gi set. “I believe it’s an Dell though haven’t looked at the bran. Asked the guy to get me the best one.” Marcus explained further.

[alexa marie collins]

Alexa sighed a bit as she walked to his computer. Alexa looked to Marcus. "You couldn't afford a Mac?" Alexa asked teasingly as she sat down in front of Marcus's computer. She started it up and found the program manager. It was going to be a pain in the butt but she'd have to install a bunch of spyware and set up firewalls to get this Dell to work properly. Alexa looked in her laptop bag and found a USB drive. She didn't like how CD-roms worked between Macs and PCs so she used a giant file sized USB drive instead. The USB drive held all of her important files as well as hacking programs that were backed up. Alexa needed to install a lot of stuff and it was nice that when she programmed the hacking system she used, that it was all in one nice file so that installation didn't take as long. Alexa stuck the USB drive in a port and started to install the program. It was supposed to be able to work on any computer and automatically adjust. However she'd have to place the extra fire walls separately because her system was different. Alexa let the computer install her program and then she looked to Marcus.

"I'm installing the main hacking program that I have for my Mac, however it won't input all the necessary fire walls and traps your Dell will need. I'll program that stuff after the program is set up on your computer." Alexa explained. Alexa looked at the symbol on the back and smiled. "The dragon was always you, and I was always the phoenix, the serpent is our bond." Alexa said with a smile. At least that was how she interpreted it. "The best one would've been a Mac, they cost more but they are less susceptible to viruses. But I can fix your Dell to keep from getting hacked."

Alexa stood up and took off her shirt. She could honestly care less if her brother saw her changing. Alexa threw her shirt to the ground and put on the shirt part of the Gi. Alexa tied her belt around it and then slipped off her jeans and put on the pants part of her Gi. Alexa looked to Marcus. "You've seen me naked before don't be surprised, unless it's because I'm a bit more grown up than you expected." Alexa teased.

[marcus greg collins]

Marcus watched as his sister walked over to his computer and asked him if why he had a dell and not a mac. “Well I had a mac for years. Ii was the same one I had in high school you should remember it. Two years ago it actually blew up on me. At the time I was moving around so I hadn’t had the chance to buy a computer. Bought this one last year and have been meaning to upgrade it but hadn’t had the chance it runs fine. I’ve actually put windows 7 on it had vista the computer went great but window 7 was that much better than vista. I only use it for surfing the net and school work, yes even us teachers have to do school work though it’s a little bit different than what you do our school work is planning you’re school word.” Marcus explained he gave Alexa a wink while smiling back at her.

Marcus smiled as he continued to listen to his sister speak about installing the main hacking program it would be great it would mean that he could hack into the slave market website and crash the system so it couldn’t be used for days. Hacking into the slave market website and crashing it was his first goal. Marcus smiled as Alexa explained the symbol to hm. “Yeah I knew you would understand my symbol is use that symbol when I train others.” Marcus explained further to Alexa. Marcus was shocked when Alexa stood up and took her shirt off. Marcus turned away when his sister was changing he didn’t want to see his sister naked when they were kids were fine because they were young and didn’t know anything about that kind of stuff. “Well it’s because you’ve grown up and well you know....” Marcus explained as he trailed off.

[alexa marie collins]

Alexa looked to her brother with a raised eyebrow. "Well what?" Alexa asked as she walked up to Marcus and decided to tease him physically. He wouldn't like it, but she honestly could care less. Alexa smirked as she wrapped her arms around Marcus and smiled. "What's the matter am I just that sexy that you have no words to describe how much I've grown?" Alexa teased. She kissed his cheek teasingly before stepping back. "Well? Are you going to train me or not Marky." Alexa asked using her nickname for her brother. She hadn't used it in a very long time, and it was nice to be able to tease him again and use that annoying nickname. Her parents told her that she always called Marcus, 'Marky' because at the time she couldn't pronounce his name properly. Though even after that she called Marcus that name just to annoy or tease him. She winked to her brother and then walked back to the computer. She knew that her program finished loading onto her brother's computer and then she started uploading the firewall software. "You better change Marky," Alexa added as she continued to fix her brother's computer. She waited for him to change into training gear. Alexa looked to Marcus and sighed. "I'm not a kid anymore so seeing you naked isn't going to faze me Marcus." Alexa added as she waited.

[marcus greg collins]

Marcus just looked back at Alexa he was a little bit uncomfortable seeing his sister naked like that but he knew that she would tease him forever about it and so he didn’t give it another thought about it. “It’s because you’re my sister, I mean when we were kids we didn’t really care about that kind of stuff because well we were kids and all, now that we’re older and well ah forget you know what I mean anyways.” Marcus replied back to his sister. Then Alexa used his nickname Marky, he rolled his eyes at her he thought she had forgotten that annoying nickname. Alexa only used that nickname because she couldn’t say his name when she was younger he didn’t know why but he never said that. Marcus would always get annoyed but his mother had always said that she could use it which made him even more angry and annoyed. Marcus watched his sister wink at him and walk over to the computer. “Fine.” Marcus replied and stuck his tongue out. Marcus turned and walked into his bedroom shutting the door behind him. One reason for this was his Gi set was here second he didn’t like being naked in front of his sister. Changing into Gi set, it was a black one like his sister’s. Marcus walked out and smiled. “Think fast little sis.” Marcus called out as he charged towards her. He aimed a Kung Fu punch towards her.

[alexa marie collins]

Alexa finished setting up the firewall and got the computer ready for hacking purposes. However, the system she gave Marcus was a downgraded version. The first hacking system she had for her computer. There was no way she would give Marcus the one she used. There'd be too much chaos in using that and she knew exactly how he would use it. Didn't matter if he didn't tell her, she still knew his intentions after their little talk this afternoon. He would use the hacking skill she gave him to shut down the system. Alexa wouldn't let her brother do that, not until he realized how things went around here. However, knowing him it wouldn't take long for him to be hated or loved around the school depending who they were. Alexa got out of the chair and started stretching and doing a few breathing exercises. She started doing a few Kung Fu stances just to warm up. She watched Marcus leave to go change a little while earlier. She didn't see the point in hiding, they were siblings so why would things have to be any different than before. Alexa continued to change her stances as Marcus walked out and charged towards her. He threw a punch at her which she blocked before throwing a roundhouse kick to Marcus's stomach. Then she charged forward with a few punches before kicking his stomach again. With dancing she had stronger leg muscles than arm muscles, though she also had some good arm muscles because she did some break dance moves. Alexa kept her breathing even and calm, like Marcus had taught her all those years ago.

[marcus greg collins]

Marcus watched as his little sister blocked the punch he smiled at her, she hadn’t allowed her training to get sloppy which was great. Marcus grabbed Alexa’s leg to block the roundhouse kick that she gave him. “Good very Good.” Marcus said. Marcus wanted to start things of with a little sparing to see what Alexa could do. Marcus watched on as Alexa threw out a few punches towards him he stepped backwards to allow the punches to punch nothing but air. Marcus liked training his sister it meant that he knew that she could defend herself when something happened and it kept her very fit too so that was always a plus. Marcus had been thinking of making a dojo here in his spare time.

Marcus hadn’t told anyone about that yet and he wondered what Alexa would think about it. Marcus rolled on the floor to dodge the kick to his stomach he jumped into the air behind her and tapped his foot against her back softly for fun. “You’ve gotten better since I last trained you.” Marcus explained as he got his balance once more. “I’ve been thinking of making a dojo out here. I’ve got the qualifications to start one up.” Marcus explained to Alexa. Marcus aimed a high kick towards Alexa he wondered if she would block or not but only time would tell in these situations.

[alexa marie collins]

Alexa watched as Marcus stepped back to keep her punches from not contacting. He's always fast. And it's been a while since I've fought against him." Alexa thought. When she had thrown that second kick her brother had rolled on the floor and gotten behind her tapping her foot. Alexa listened as Marcus told her she had gotten better. "Just because you aren't around to train me doesn't mean I'll stop training on my own." Alexa said as she turned around toward her brother. She smiled as her broth told her that he might set up a dojo. Her eyes didn't waver as she quickly noticed a high kick from Marcus which she blocked before quickly getting down and swung her leg forcing Marcus to fall down on the ground with the imbalance of his position. "Sounds great. Marcus. But how're you gonna pay for it. I mean...you only have a teacher's salary." Alexa slightly taunted Marcus. He knew she was kidding and she knew he'd come up with some witty remark to counter hers.

Alexa stretched a bit as she waited for her brother to get back up on his feet. She didn't like attacking when the opponent wasn't ready for it. At least in a training situation. In the real world you don't let your guard down and you sure as don't wait for the opponent to be ready unless you're taunting them. Alexa was just waiting so her brother could continue. She liked training with Marcus, it had been a long time.

[marcus greg collins]

Marcus watched Alexa carefully, he was watching to see how much of her training was going to pay of. Marcus always loved training his little sister in martial arts he always believed that was when their bond started to grow though they always had a bond before the training. Marcus however was glad that she had kept on training even while he was in college getting his education degree though he wouldn’t actually believe that he would be teaching at Alexa’s own school even if this place was fucked up t the core. “Well that’s a good thing then. I was hoping that you wouldn’t stop training just because I wasn’t around to teach you." Marcus laughed at Alexa’s comment about his dojo idea.

Marcus had some money for a rainy day and this is pretty much what he wanted to spend the money on and thus the rainy day had arrived. Now all Marcus had to do was to find a building that he could buy to get the dojo all set up. “I had a job while I was in college and the pay was pretty good. The job was an assistant at the local government place, nothing special but it paid good.” Marcus explained to Alexa. Marcus knew that Alexa was only teasing him but he would get her back, he always did. “So I’d thought we continue on the sparing first just for the warm up session.” Marcus explained to Alexa. He moved into a defensive position and looked back at Alexa. “You’re move sis.” Marcus explained further.
