007 - Training Regiment

"We can't do anything yet. Think about it like this. As soon as we affect an event in history any event after that will not have happened." Mike Stated.

"So, basically, you're knowledge will be made obsolete as soon as we act on it. Okay, so when do we act on it?" Jim Asked to which Mike just nodded then said. "May 4 2012."

"Why, won't we be like over a hundred by then if not dead." Jim Questioned.

"Firstly, I have a plan about our age. And second stuff I know you will not believe if I tell you will start to happen." Mike said with a grin starting to look on his face.

"Try me?" Mocked Jim in a sarcastic tone, while making a come hear gesture.

Mike just smiled before saying, "On May the Fourth Two thousand and twelve. An army of aliens named the Chitauri will appear above New York and while we win the city is pretty much destroyed."

"Now you are messing with me." Replied Jim.

"We will see." Said Mike.

"Where do we start?" Jim went.

"Well in September 1940 all men 21 and over are drafted into the military." Mike

"Okay, so that includes me?" Jim said while pointing a finger at himself.

"Yes" Mike

"You're the smart one." Jim

"We need to start training." Mike

"WE?" Jim

"Well, yeah I'll get drafted in forty-two or three." Mike

Jim just nodded.

"I need to get home soon." Mike

"I'll Walk back with You." Jim

They walked back as they talked about some of the plans for the future.

[May 7, 1937. Three Months Later…]

Jim and mike sit in in His room Listening to the radio.

"It's starting to rain again. Its uh, cracked up a bit.

The back motors of the ship are holding it just enough to... to...

IT HAS BURST INTO FLAMES!

…

Get out of the way please!

It's Burning Bursting into flames and it is falling on the morning fast.

And all the folks beneath.

This is terrible.

This is one of the worst catastrophes in the world.

…

Oh, the Humanity!"

{Silence}

Mike just turned it off as they both sat there in silence.

After a few minutes Jim asked, "are we supposed to just sit here for the rest of our lives and let millions die even though we could have prevented it?"

"Yes, to save billions in the future." Mike

After a short pause.

"I wanted to believe you. But deep down in my heart I wished you were wrong." Jim

"I wanted to be wrong as well." Mike

This had been troubling mike for a while. He knew that the knowledge he possessed about what was going to happen in the future was not a blessing but a curse. Mike could have grown up got married, had kids and be from the generation that took down the Nazi's. But with this knowledge as he did nothing, each death he could have prevented would weigh on his mind.

"The world will suffer immensely in the future. But right now, there is nothing we can do other than prepare to protect it. Come, let's go to the hill." Mike

In these three months both of them had become significantly stronger. Their training was unorthodox but it was working.

They stood on the grass sparring with each other. Nicole's father was in the SAS, and he remembered all the times she had almost broken bones and gotten hundreds of bruises from her father's sparring.

They started with strength training along with gymnastics to keep all their new muscle flexible. They had then started incorporation Brazilian Jujitsu to start each other on reacting to attacks and how to when tackled how to escape.

After they had built up enough strength well Mike had Jim was built like a tank but even he had received significant improvements when playing. They had then joined the local boxing club so they could practice keeping the right distance from an opponent and how to throw, receive and block punches.

They had the started to incorporate moa tai for palm strike and more flexible moves. Then sometimes joining in on the wrestling club learning how to pin people down and avoid being pinned down.

Now that they had their foundations laid Mike started to incorporate things like Taekwondo for kicks and longer-range attacks. Judo for faster footwork. Aikido for redirecting momentum and joint locks. Included with it was HIIT training to build stamina as well as light parkour which they practiced throughout the town so they can cover ground quickly behind cover to get into CQB with an enemy or to retreat.

He put special emphasis of the Aikido because with people possessing supernatural abilities there would be times where even two physically strong men would be at a disadvantage.

Mike knew they were still weak and that it would take a lot more practice to be able to be on the level of the black widow or Hawkeye but with knowledge of some of the best fighting methods out there they would get stronger.
