Learnt Behavior

Alice and Bruce hand gone into the back yard Bruce in his off time had trained extensively in the martial arts and planned to teach her some very basic fighting moves.

Bruce hoped this would sooth her mind even though he knew she couldn't use the on a human because of her programming.

He started with a simple kick the leg kick. Bruce taught her proper form when doing kick. " It looks like you have gotten a good grasp of this one now ill teach you some boxing techniques."

"Wait i need to try it out on something." Bruce looked concerned since i didn't want to tell her she wouldn't be abel to harm humans

You can use that tree over there i guess. Bruce thinking quickly avoided the inevitable result of Alice learning the truth.

"Ok after we practice more can we ... what is it called ....spar?" Bruce looked down and knew Alice would find out today no matter what he did.

"Sure" Bruce said not looking her in the eye. "Maybe she wont blame me if i pretend i didn't know." Bruce thought to himself.

After trying her kick out on the tree and actually doing quite a bit of damage , Alice and Bruce continued their training session with in boxing and muai tai.

"Well you are a quick study since you can copy my moves exactly." Bruce smiled as he realized just how amazing alice really was, he also felt a little jealous.

"So we can spar now right?" Alice gave Bruce what looked like a puppy eye look with a smile.

Bruce reluctantly agreed and said he should put on some gear so she didn't hurt him, also saying she was quiet powerful.

Bruce felt bad about the lies but he couldn't bring himself to tell her the truth. He was giving her false hope and it honestly didn't feel to great.

" Maybe i should tell her the truth..." Bruce contemplated this option as he put on head gear, and a chest protection pad as well as shin guards. These where what he use to wear in some of his competitions. In these matches competitors would do full contact sparing and this was standard issue for competing.

Bruce walked outside and saw Alice doing a flurry of new kicks he hadn't taught her. "Alice there's something i need to tell you. There is quite a large chance that you wont be abel to attack me because of your programming."

"What do you mean " Alice asked. "I mean i just reread the instructions in your handbook your manufacturer sent with you. They have programming to not allow you to hurt humans in any way." Bruce still felt bad about lying but it wasn't giving her false hope so it wasn't nearly as bad.

Alice simply walked close to him and punched his arm hard Bruce was shocked because it hurt a lot.

I guess im different...
