Training of the Ice Phoenix

Hey Monica did you see the news over the weekend? That troll monster actually tried to take over the city".

"Yeah of course Kim that was insane that guy was a freak".(guess im not the only freak in town)

Kim: yeah it's really sad alot of cops died before that masked guy showed up. People are calling him a hero.

"Yeah that guy's crazy to but we're lucky he was there. I think he's calling himself fade or something stupid like that.

"Come on Monica i think fade is cool name and did you see his suit. It was pretty cool. But thats not the point. Things are getting crazy out there. Things are getting scary out there. I gotta start taking our training more seriously like you".

"Hell yeah you do so let's get to it."

Monica didn't have many friends but kim was her best friend. They went to school together and both took mixed martial arts from Mr. Marcus Matthews.

"I've gotta get at least as half as good as you Monica your a beast at this fighting stuff"

"Damn right. Now let's get it. Im gonna have you you kick‐ass machine by the summer".

"Hey Mr. Matthews I think my girl Moncia is ready to take you on haha". "She might be. I can tell by your fighting style that im not the only 1 training you Monica. Let's see some your moves".

Monica agreed to a little sparing section with Marcus and nervous stepped into the ring. She knew without her powers she needed more training to beat him.

Immediately after they started sparing Monica could tell something was off about him. Monica dodged a swing and followed up with a kick she was certain mr Matthews was going to dodge but he didn't. The kick landed right in his stomach causing him to fall to his knees

"Mr. Matthews are you ok? I'm sorry sir but your usually so much faster than me I didn't think I would ever hit you". "It's all good ms. Simms i know you noticed i was a little off today. I was in a car accident this weekend so I'm a little sore".

After there training section Monica and Kim got dressed so Monica could walk kim home.

"C'mon Monica let's go get some pizza". "No I've got some more training to do". We been training all day let's unwind".

"Sorry maybe tomorrow but im still walking you home so let's go".

After Moncia left Kim's house she went to meet Mr. Henry Wells. Mr. Wells meet Monica years ago when she was a young girl living on the streets. He let her stay in his small 1 bedroom apartment while he stayed in the gym.

Mr. Wells helped Monica with her endurance training and was very good at it. He is 53 years old but was in perfect shape.

Mr. Wells training was intense but after 4 years young Monica had made her body into a tank. She is able to withstand an insane amount of damage.

"C'mon Monica another round. You know the rule. You can't leave until your able to put me down now get on your feet".

Monica was exhausted but she knew Mr. Wells wasn't gonna accept any excuses. Monica started thinking about her lessons from Mr. Matthews. Observe your opponent and think of the best fighting method.

(He's bigger stronger and has a aggressive fighting style. I can use that against him) "come old man or are you getting tired"

"If your thinking about that old use my momentum against me trick it won't work hahaha. Now get ready little girl". "You know i hate when people call me that"

Monica ran toward Mr. Wells at full cocking her fist back as if she was gonna throw a punch but she dropped down and started sliding throw Mr. Wells legs. She kicked him in the back of his legs making him drop to 1 knee then she kicked him in da back of head.

Mr. Wells fell to face and Moncia tried to follow up with a diving punch but Mr Wells was able to dodge. Mr. Wells gave Monica a little smile before hitting her with a round kick knocking her into the wall

"Very good young Monica your improving every day but still nowhere close to to the mighty Henry Wells! But a deals a deal. When you have wind in your lungs again you can leave".

Monica laid there for a few minutes trying to catch her breath but she was smiling as she was gasping for air. She was proud of herself as she felt herself getting stronger and as her physical strength grew so did her powers.

Monica finally got herself together after awhile and was ready to go home and get some sleep.

On the way home Monica took a few shortcuts down a alley and she started to feel strange as if someone was watching her.

Suddenly a man came jumping out of nowhere landing behind Monica. "Well well young lady what's a little girl like you doing in our territory at night"? "Don't call me little girl"!

"Ok sorry ma'am but like i said this here is belongs to redeye and his gang and you gonna have to pay for our protective services. So just give me your bag and I'll make sure you get home safe".

"Listen here guy. Im tired and ready to go to sleep so leave me alone and I'll keep letting you place Thug for a little longer. Now get...

The man interrupted her by smacking her in the face. Monica was shocked at how brave this guy is.

DID YOU JUST PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME!
