He chuckled.
"I think you could've gotten WR with that one, maybe even a few other metas, but against me, my cousin, and heaven forbid you ever meet her, Avice, such an attack isn't very effective."

"Why not?"
Once she was content with the fact that her hand was properly reattached, she crossed her arms over her chest, breathing slightly heavily from the chase.

He'd point to his eyes.
"These aren't just for show. When my powers came to my my eyes are able to perceive things faster and better than the average human, hell even better than most Meta's. My cousin also has eyes like mine, and Avice... she has something similar."

Gidget huffed slightly, staring down at her feet. How was she supposed to compete with THAT?

He chuckled as he guessed what she was thinking.
"That doesn't make us undefeatable. I've had my ass kicked more times than I can count. Just develop a fighting style that is your own. Thats how you defeat opponents even stronger than you."

She flopped down into a sitting position and leaned back.
"Well, I might not be super strong. But I'm smart. Maybe not street smart yet... but..."
Gidget sighed and shrugged.

"I didn't say you could sit. We aren't taking a break. Stand up."

She shot a glare at Drake, and for a moment, she seemed like she might actually talk back. She wasn't one to respond well to authority, that much was obvious.
But SHE had gone to HIM for help. She hesitated a moment longer, and then pushed herself up to her feet.
"What next?"

"Alright, I can see now that your strong suits are going to be your speed, in both body and mind. But not so much in physical power. So, we need to work on your endurance."
He would scratch his chin.
"Run in place. Full speed. For as long as you can. Don't stop until you fall over."

Gidget groaned, but nodded. She started to jog in place, slowly building up to full speed.
The mornings spent running gave her a bit of endurance. She couldn't last as long as Drake, but it was obvious that she had been working on it.

"Your. Goal. Isn't. Too. Keep. Up. With. Me. Just. Push. Your. Self."
He would say as he ran in place in front of her.

Her goal was to learn how to defend herself, so that Drake and WR would be able to lean on her. Her goal was to be an important and beneficial part of a team, to grow and be a part of her friends and their lives. Her goal was so much more than just pushing herself.
She was huffing, but continued to run in place for as long as she could. Her muscles were screaming at her, but she pushed herself through the pain, and determination lit her eyes. She was quivering, but he had said to not stop until she had to. So she continued on.

Drake smiled.
"Hell yeah. That's the spirit. Work past your limitations! Fight and fight and fight! Never give up!"

Gidget was exhausted. Her run earlier had been farther than she normally pushed herself, her muscles were already exhausted, her head hurt, and breathing was a struggle. But still she went on, even after her vision narrowed to a little dot. Even after the runner's high came and went.
After a while, one of her legs caught, her knee popping as she collapsed to the ground. She caught herself on her hands and knees, wheezing. She had no idea how much time had passed.

Drake would stop as well he was drenched with sweat and was breathing heavy.
"I'm... impressed. Not sure how much longer I myself would've lasted."
He would walk over and pick up the pack he had brought up with him and pull out two water bottles walking back over to Gidget handing her one.
"So, your quick, your smart, and you've damn good endurance. Got shit for strength, and I'm betting you can't take a hit, yeah?"
