Kingston Mall-Mary and Scorpion

Kingstone Mall! Full of joy and delight, this #1 spot for Kingston High students to come after school for fun and relaxation, like one Mary. Today, Mary has decided to bring her friends and her to the Mall to chill after what happened in the cafeteria at school.

Christina: Mary! Doesn't this look cute?

Mary ignores Chistina, looking off in the distance.

Christina: Mary! Earth to Mary!

Mary: Oh shit. Sorry. What were you asking?

June: Are you okay, Mary? We know how much you hate seeing your brother fight.

Mary: Yeah…those guys, they practically put them in a corner that they had to fight out of! Ever since that Fray discovered him.

Christina: The Fray? I thought it was a myth!

June: Shhh. Don't be so rash.

Mary: It's definitely real, they caught my brother alone one day. They kept fighting him in waves. He came home with bruises all over…

June: Mary…

Christina: *Sigh* Try on some of these clothes, you'll feel better.

Mary smiles at Christina's attempt to cheer her up.

Mary: Alright, Chrissy, Let's see what your eye for fashion does.

MEANWHILE…

In the gym of the mall is one Scorpion, wearing headphones, and blasting alt-rock music. Scorpion mainly focused on his shoulder and arms, he'll occasionally have a leg workout here and there. Right now, however, he's focusing on the punching bag, mixing in punches and kicks.

Gym Bro #1: Yo, what's gotten into you, Scorpion? You seem more fired up than ever.

Scorpion: I was attacked at school. I need to prepare for if that EVER happens again.

As Scorpion lands his last punch he hears what one of the scouts said to him

Scout: You're just a one-trick pony.

Scorpion begins to punch the bag harder and harder.

He starts to hear another voice, a familiar voice to him.

Lexie: How do you expect to beat him when you couldn't even beat me?!

By now, the whole gym has paused to see Scorpion, catching the eye of another gym-goer, Lee. Lee approaches Scorpion.

Lee: Didn't know you had hands like that.

Scorpion pauses, glaring at Lee.

Scorpion: You know nothing about me!

Lee: Can I make a guess? I'm guessing you're prepping for whenever that school shows up?

Scorpion: …

Lee: Well, im here to make you an offer. Me and Davis are some of the best fighters at the school. It seems that the school that's targeting us has some type of system and I wanted to form one of our own. Only for when they attack. The system is nothing big, just…whenever someone needs help or gets attacked we always have each others' backs.

Scorpion: I work alone.

Lee: Alright then, im heading over to the food court if you want to take up my offer.

Before Lee walks off, he kicks the punching bag, sending it flying back, making a loopy loop.
