Bullseyes IV

"Thank you for humoring me whenever I ask to hear more about my mother. I really appreciate it Dad!" Artemis knew the pain that he went through. He tried to hide it, but it was impossible for the closest person to him to not notice it. "Let's start on the next weapon, Mr. Abrams."

"Sure, let's do the M16. For this one, you can use a similar stance to the hunting rifle, or you can use the table for additional support for recoil. It is an automatic weapon that will fire as long as you hold the trigger down," John explained. The M16 was the only automatic weapon on the queue for today. Each weapon was unique because of the role of the weapons. The M16 or the last two weapons would rarely be found in the streets because they were military grade weaponry. The Glock 45 and the hunting rifle were far more likely to be on the streets because of their ease of accessibility.

Artemis took the stance using the table as support before aiming at the target. She breathed in slowly and shot the weapon, but didn't hold the trigger down so as to prevent additional kicking. Once again, her first shot was a bullseye! John started to sweat as he had never seen anyone as talented as her.

"Young Miss, how are you making every shot a bullseye?" John was unsure how to approach teaching her if she was truly going to be as good as this with every weapon.

"I try to aim properly like you asked me to," Artemis tried to brush off the question quietly. While she trusted Damien, she hadn't even told him about her powers yet. If she couldn't trust Damien, then where would she find it in her to trust anyone else with her deepest secret?

"Well done, Young Miss. Let's move onto the next weapon…" John and Artemis continued to work through the weapons that were left on the queue. She continued to impress with bullseyes. The shotgun was tricky because it used a pellet, but John substituted a slug instead so that she would have extra range and it would be a single bullet. Her success left everyone surprised. Damien decided to follow through on his promise to Artemis where she was allowed to ask him for anything. Of course, he had a feeling that she would ask for something a little outrageous, but he knew that she had been cooped up for too long. It was time for her to experience the real world and meet more people. He couldn't keep her to himself forever.
