Shila let out her breath slowly. She could so do this. With her eyes closed even. As if to prove it to herself, she closed her eyes.

She was at a hanging punching bag. She delivered a left side kick to the bag, immediately swiveling to the right and popping out her elbow to hit the bag and knock it to the side. She took a step back and threw a crane kick at the bag, sending it flying back at a quicker speed. She immediately ducked beneath the bag and threw a two punch combo at the bag.

Taking a few steps back she opened her eyes and let loose a little smile. The chalk she had dipped her hands in was covering the bag where she punched it.

"Beautiful" she said to herself as she started to unwrap the tape around her hands. She had on a pair of long tight blue workout pants and a white tank top. Her hair was loose around her shoulders and her outfit was completed with white tennis shoes.

She cracked her neck to the side as she threw the last of the chalk-y tape into the trash. She quickly started running a fast lap around the room. Keeping in shape was key. SHIELD had taught her that, and despite the fact she was in the Resistance area, she kept SHIELD rules close to home and heart. That was her goal. To become a renown leader amongst SHIELD. Hey, everyone had to start somewhere.

Ben had a busy week so far, finializing his inheritance and all. This week he found it hard to find time to work out. Working out was important, given the nature of the team.

Usually about three times a week, Ben liked to work out. He would alternate between weights, cardio and fighting. He did it to gain strength and better health. Wearing some basketball shorts and a wife beater, he went down to the training area. He noticed someone else down there, but continued to the weight machines. Before getting on the machines, he started to do a few stretches, which was always a good thing to do before lifting weights, before doing any strenuous activity really. Once he did the stretches he started with the bench press machine. He set the weights too 100 lbs at first and began his reps.

"One...two...three...four...five...six....seve...eight...nine...ten." He said as he lifted the weights. Though he was fairly quiet, he just couldn't count in his head as he worked out, so he counted out loud. His goal was 30 reps, but he started tiring after 20. This didn't stop him, as he kept going.

Shila finished her second lap and noticed a boy enter. He was doing the typical 'boy' thing. The weight machines. She let a small smile grace her lips as she passed him the first time. The second time she passed him, he was counting aloud. Shila just couldn't resist.

"Three...seven...fifteen...two." she let forth with a little grin as she stopped running at his machine. She continued to stretch, doing the windmill one, her arms spread wide.

"Hey...what's up" she said as she looked him over. He was attractive. Obviously a pretty boy...not her usual type. He looked a bit young though. Meh, she thought to herself. All the pretty ones are too young

"I don't remember you...sorry, that came out blunt. I'm Shila." she finished with a welcoming smile as she stood up from her stretch. She grabbed a towel from the clean rack and wiped it over her head.

"Umm...Shila." she said with a confused look. She thought she had mentioned her name before, he probably didn't hear her. Too into his training. She let another smile grace her face.

She actually did know his father, but only through her research. How odd to think that he would assume I would know his father anyway, she thought with a little wonder. "Yeah, Archangel right? Or Angel. Whichever he preferred I'm not sure" she said with a smile.
"Actually...our fathers were pretty good friends, from what I gather. My dad was Cyclops." she said with a grin, for once actually feeling proud of her dad. "My mum is Snowbird. Not many know of her, sadly. She was a good woman." Shila trailed off.

She glanced at Ben. No wings?, she thought to herself. "So...how long have you been with the Resistance?"
