Say a word

Andrei dropped the ice pack in his hand as he pounced on Nikolai as they both wrestled on the ground.

"Hey, hey, stop this, the both of you stop now!" said Kira as she shouted as the two men did not seem to hear her as they both continued to fight on the ground.

"Can you both stop this nonsense" said Olga as this was ridiculous, first it was Vicki being crazy, and now it was Andrei and Nikolai fighting? Was Vicki's negative attitude contagious or what??

Nikolai and Andrei did not listen to them at all as they continued to land a hit on each other.

"Stop!!" said Tatiana as this did not make her happy at all.

"Are you both deaf, stop this" said Artem as he walked to separate the two as Andrei accidentally punched him and he moved back as he held his nose.

"Enough of this nonsense, the both of you stop fighting" said Kira as she walked to separate them both.

"Rodion, Artem, come and help me separate these two idiots before they kill each other" said Kira as Rodion and Artem moved to separate Nikolai and Andrei.

They did not know what was wrong with the two of them, but ever since yesterday, they had been acting weird, as if there was some beef between them.

"Are you both deaf or what, stop this nonsense" said Kira as Artem carried Nikolai and Rodion held back Andrei as they still fought.

"You are a bastard" said Andrei as Nikolai scoffed and he hit Artem in the abdomen as Artem let go of him and Nikolai pounced on Andrei again.

"Yerunda (Nonsense)" said Kira as she was sick of their childish display and she moved to pull Andrei away as Nikolas accidentally kicked her as she hissed in pain and she moved back.

"Kira, are you alright?" asked Tatiana in concern as she saw what happened, and the bad thing was that Nikolai and Andrei were still fighting oblivious of all the damage they were causing.

"What is going on here?" asked Romanoff as his voice thundered and everyone turned to look at him as Andrei and Nikolas stopped fighting each other and they turned to look at Romanoff.

"Commander" said Kira as she was still holding her stomach where Nikolas had kicked, it still hurt.

"Don't Commander me, can someone tell me what is going on here?" asked Romanoff as he was angry, even though he did not show it on his face but his voice carried it, he only left for a few minutes, and they were all already beating each other up.

If not that he had left Vicki to get fitted for her punishment, then this nonsense would have continued.

Romanoff looked at everyone as they refused to say a word, so no one was going to say anything? That was just fine by him, he would make them say something.

"Nikolai, Andrei, can the both of you get up right this instant" said Romanoff as Nikolai and Andrei quickly got up from the ground as they stood up straight.

"Tatiana, what happened?" asked Romanoff as he looked at Tatiana, he knew that she would tell him the truth.

"Ahh Commander, Nikolai and Andrei were fighting" said Tatiana as she replied.

"Why are they fighting?" asked Romanoff as Tatiana kept quiet.

"Olga, why are they fighting?" asked Romanoff as he looked at Olga.

"Commander, I think that Nikolai accidentally tripped Andrei" said Olga as she was not really sure, they were all not paying attention when it happened, they all had their attention focused on Natasha.

"Can you hear this, Nikolai, Andrei, speak up as men, what happened? Because I doubt a little trip could result to you both turning into barbarians" said Romanoff as Nikolai and Andrei both kept quiet.

"You don't want to talk? Alright then" said Romanoff as he found all of this childish, they were acting like school children who just got into a break time fight, he could not believe that this sort of indiscipline was taking place with his own agents.

"Does anyone know the true reason why they are fighting?" asked Romanoff as he looked around and everyone refused to say anything.

"Alexi, what do you know?" asked Romanoff as he was getting tired of this.

"Nothing commander, I only noticed that the two of them were not on good terms since yesterday" said Alexi.

"You hear that, what happened between the both of you?" asked Romanoff as he looked at Nikolai and Andrei as they did not reply.

"What caused a problem between you? Was it a woman?" asked Romanoff as he had been in this business for long, and what usually caused fights between agents were woman, and if not that, then maybe money, or betrayal, either way, whatever the reason, he did not condone such.

"You both are deaf right?" asked Romanoff as he scoffed, and Nikolai and Andrei kept quiet.

"Kira" said Romanoff as he looked at Kira.

"Yes Commander?" said Kira as she looked at Romanoff.

"They hurt you?" asked Romanoff.

"We were trying to separate them commander" said Kira as she explained.

"You see, your team mates were trying to separate you, and you end up hurting them in the process, you both deserve to be punished" said Romanoff.

"But before that, who started the fight first?" asked Romanoff as they all went quiet.

"You all don't speak English?" asked Romanoff.

"I repeat myself again, who started the fight first? As in who threw the first blow?" asked Romanoff as no reply came.

"Kira, tell me who gave the first blow?" asked Romanoff as he looked at Kira.

"It was Nikolai Commander" said Kira as she had seen Nikolai throw the first punch, Andrei had only shoved him after Nikolai shoved him first.

"Nikolai, I see that you are a fighter now? That would have been good, if you did not use your skills to beat up your fellow agents" said Romanoff as he walked to where Nikolai was standing as he stood in front of him.

"What do you have to say for yourself Nikolai?" asked Romanoff as he looked at Nikolai.

"I apologize" said Nikolai.

"Apology is not enough, you know, there are many things that I cannot tolerate, and indiscipline is one of them" said Romanoff.

"I give both of you a warning, I do not want to see you repeat this again, am I clear?" asked Romanoff.

"Yes Commander" said Nikolai and Andrei as they nodded their head.

"Good" said Romanoff.

"Nikolai, I give you a stern warning, we are not wrestler here am I clear?" asked Romanoff.

"Yes Commander" said Nikolai.

"Good" said Romanoff as without warning he turned and he gave Nikolai a might kick in his ribcage that sent Nikolai flying as he hit the wall and he cried out in pain as he held his ribcage.

"That should teach you a lesson, next time I won't be so easy on you" said Romanoff.

"And you, consider yourself lucky that I am in a good mood, or else, you would join him in pain" said Romanoff.

"Regardless, the both of you will serve a punishment, 30 laps around the mansion, while dragging a 10kg weight behind you" said Romanoff.

"And you, nothing is broken, just to go the infirmary to check" said Romanoff as he was sure he did not break his rib, if he did, then he would know, he knew the kind of force to apply to give maximum pain without breaking anything vital.

"The rest of you are dismissed, we are done here, tomorrow, you have the day off, on Wednesday, when we all return, hopefully by then, those with bad behaviours will have fixed themselves, we are done with combat, we will move to gun training, so be ready" said Romanoff.

"Yes commander" said everyone else.

"The two of you, get out of my sight, and go and receive your punishment" said Romanoff as Nikolai as he could not pick himself up.

"That should teach you better than to fight" said Romanoff.

"Andrei, help Nikolai to the infirmary" said Romanoff as Andrei did not wait to be told twice as he walked to help support Nikolai to walk as they walked out of the gym.

"Glupyye mal'chiki (Stupid boys)" said Romanoff as he scoffed under his breath.

"Is it serious?" asked Romanoff as he looked at Kira.

"No Commander, it is fine, no pain at all Commander" said Kira.

"Alright then, you all can leave, see you on Wednesday" said Romanoff.

"Yes Commander" they all said as they walked In the direction of the locker rooms to go get changed as Romanoff scoffed, it would seem that today many people wanted to get punished, well he did not mind, it had been a while since he had punished anybody.

"You cannot know with these children of nowadays" said Romanoff to himself as he scoffed, they were all a bunch of childish boys.
