"Hey, babe?" Barry called out.
"Yea?" I asked, putting my badge on my dresser, Barry came in with bandages. "Oh no"
"I got stabbed while I wasn't looking, Caitlin said it'll heal by morning, but I have to wrap it for the night," He said, "Can you help?"
"Sit down," I said. He sat on the bed and I began bandaging him up. "You need to pay more attention"
"I know" He sighed.
"You're doing amazing as a hero, but you still need some improvement," I said, placing my hands on his cheek. "You just need to train some more"
I kissed him, which led to him pulling me onto his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he fell backwards, "Ouch" He said.
"Oh my god, are you okay?" I asked, sitting up again.
"Yea just hit my wound" He chuckled, pulling me back down and kissing me again.
~ (Yea... I ain't writing that) ~
I was using the salmon ladder Cisco and Caitlin had gotten me when I told them I needed to train. "Oh my god, I understand Felicity's liking for the salmon ladder" I heard Barry walk in with the others. I jumped off and dusted off my hands.
"Hi" I smiled.
"Hey," Barry said, Caitlin and Cisco were clearly snickering behind him, Wells and Joe just gave each other knowing looks. "Uh, what did you need me fore?"
"Training," I said, picking up my detached bo staff.
"Shouldn't I be on the treadmill than?" He asks.
"Not speed training, fighting training," I said, "There will be a time when your speed won't be able to win a fight"
"But you'll always be by my side," He said, I couldn't help but blush a little.

"I don't have speed regeneration, Barr," I said, "You highly inexperienced"
"I think you know how experienced I am," He said, smirking. I spun around, hitting his legs causing him to hit the floor, I spun again and crossed my bo staffs on his neck, trapping him.
"tubqi eaqalak ealaa altawali" I stated.
"What?" He asked.
"Keep your mind straight" I stated again, "I'm basically telling you to focus. Now stand up and try to attack me"
He stood up and attempted to tackle me, I jump out of the way and put my foot on his back. "Your attack is predictable, you aimed for my shoulder, aim for my legs" I stated. "Again"
~
After hours, I knew this would be the last one. "Again," I said. He successfully disarmed me and tackled me, pinning on arms and legs and holding me in a knock out position.
"You did it," I said, he let go and started celebrating.
"Finally!" Cisco cheered. "Only took 4 hours"
I stood up and moved my bo staff over. "See babe, I'm a fast learner," Barry said.
"You realize that was basic training right?" I asked.
"What?" Cisco, Caitlin, Joe, and Barry asked at the same time.
"I learnt that during my first week with Slade," I said. "That training session was just so you don't get hurt again during your rounds tonight"
"Are you saying there's going to be more training sessions?" Barry asked.
"You don't get good at fighting overnight..." I quoted Shado. "I'm going to shower and get ready for rounds"
"How many more training sessions?" Barry asked, whipping around and following me.
"As many as we need"

Chosen of Silver
In the lands of Neden, children with gates--birthmarks able to accept and hold the power of soulstones--are collected every five years, when they reach age fifteen to nineteen. It is nearly time for the newest cohort to be celebrated and then conscripted, and with that day looming, those whose lives are about to change wait impatiently for their destiny to arrive...or try to find a way to avoid it: Cal, a refugee from the nation of Caas, doesn’t want to go to Kellingherth to gain the powers of man, beast, or element, and he certainly doesn’t want to join the war efforts after that. The only things he’s dying for are a good drink, dance, and girl, in no particular order. His best friend Raff prefers his sweat to come from a hard day's training than an evening carousing and wishes Cal did, too. He wants to accomplish more with his life than becoming a simple palace sentry like his estranged father and will do whatever it takes to get there. And they are just two of many. When the tenuous peace of the realm is threatened by the arrival of an old enemy, these young chosen will likely be swept up in events rather than prevent them, but the future cannot be rushed or escaped, only experienced.

Kindle Edition Unsigned Paperback Edition Amazon Author Page The Matter of Manred Continues... Since the day she was born, the Lady Eithne of Dolgallu has lived under a magical prohibition: she may not marry before the omens are deemed favorable. Now, after a harrowing journey to the most sacred place in the Five Kingdoms, the Drymyn Order, a mysterious sect of powerful priests and priestesses, have pronounced the omens favorable, and her wedding to King Eowain of Droma has been arranged. But Eithne has the right to accept—or reject—her suitor. She did not set this geas upon herself, didn't ask for the special attention of the Gods to her love-life. Yet the time for her decision has come. Eowain has proven himself loyal, brave, kind—all the things any woman might ask from a man. But there’s the way of it: this is the man, you must marry him. Is she not a free woman? Was she not guaranteed the right of choice? Eithne is frustrated by the expectation that she will simply acquiesce to her fate, that she must accept that the Gods wove some secret pattern for her life and she can do nothing to stop it. So how can she prove she has the freedom to choose if she doesn't choose, “No”? How can she know for herself that her will is truly her own if she consents?
