Drop and give me fifty!! - OTA
The open space in the center of camp has been cordoned off for the last couple of days, Ethan has been over seeing as the ground is remarked with clear distinction of combatant training areas. Posters have been dotted around camp notifying the team that they are all expected to attend the team training days that are up coming. First of all is the

Unfortunately for her, the area that had been cordoned off was her usual training grounds. Showing up in her usual shorts, tank top, and ponytail, she'd been expecting to resume training with Wade now that she was back in action from her mission in Nevada.
"Oh, son of a bitch." She mumbled under her breath when she saw Sykes standing there, resisting the urge to turn on her heel and bolt in the opposite direction.

That was until he spotted Haylie. A devilish smirk pulled to his face when he saw her all but freeze, knowing full well that she was resisting the fight or flight. There was no way in hell he was going to let her flight. Oh no, not with him around.
Hopping to his feet Wade bounded over to his pupil and all but glomped her. Taking her face in his hands, he squeezed her cheeks playfully. "Where you been Hotstuff? I was wondering when you were gonna show up!" He wasn't trying to be quiet about it either. Turning around, he waved over to Sykes. "Captain! Oh, Captain! You can't move onto lessons yet, this lovely lady hasn't had her physical assessment!"

"I'm gonna kill you for this, Wade." She snapped, shifting to slap him upside the head while he was busy bouncing around trying to get Ethan's attention.

Still he tried to flag the Captain over. Wade didn't really need to do all the jumping around, seeing as his giraffe-like statue wasn't all that hard to miss. "You need to get over this. Life is an asshole and will constantly surround you with everyone you hate. Better get over it now!"

Despite the reasons behind it.
Taking Haylie's file from the pile Ethan crosses over to where Wade is clamouring for attention and tries not to loo too peeved at his behaviour. "Thank you Wilson, I'm sure Haylie is more than capable of notifying me of her arrival but you enthusiasm to be my PA isn't going ignored."

"I don't hate him, Wade." She said pointedly, folding her arms across her chest and glaring holes in the back of his head.

Giving Sykes a mock salute, he turned back to Haylie. "You're dying to run away. Clearly, you hate everything about this situation. Don't worry. I'm sure he's gentle and sanitary. If he does anything inappropriate just scream and I'll be there faster than a stripper rips her pants off."

"Besides, why the hell should I have t'square off against him when you've been trainin' me?"

To her question he folded his arms and moved to stand in line beside her. "That's what I've been trying to figure out all day. I don't think he'll make you square off, but the 'physical assessment' has yet to reveal itself. I'd like to think it was a fitness test, but who knows with good 'ole Cap'n."

When Wade took his place beside Haylie, she glanced up at him over her shoulder. "I really want to punch you right now."

Glancing up at Wade once again, she arched a brow and gave him a slight nudge. "Shall we?"

The mercenary narrowed his eyes down at Sykes, then shifted his glance over to Haylie. Ms 'I don't hate him' sure as shit was eager to spar with someone else. And good ole' Sykes was nurturing that silly little fear.
"Captain, surely you know that the fruit of Haylie's training would most likely be seen if she spars someone other than her sensei. After all, that's what the training is for." Giving a small shrug and letting his hands fall to his sides, he motioned with his head back to Sykes. "Why not spar her yourself? To be honest, I'm just as interested as you are to see how much her training has helped her."
None of that, surprisingly, was a lie. But Wade knew what Sykes wanted, he knew what Haylie wanted, and he knew what he wanted. Truthfully he did enjoy making the girl squirm as he did everyone else. He enjoyed giving Sykes a hard time. But he was also investing a lot of his own time into her, and if he were to truly see if it was paying off, she would have to fight someone else. She already knew how ( ... )

Stepping around and in front of Wade, she took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Placing herself between her mentor and her commanding officer, she rolled her shoulders, cracked her knuckles, and shifted herself into a ready stance -- just the way Wade taught her.
"We gonna sit around and chat like a bunch of girls or are we gonna get down to business?" Consider Haylie in the zone.

She'd be thanking him later, as she usually did. Why didn't anyone trust him? It was either she was going to be thanking him or he was going to give her the beating of her life for not retaining anything he'd taught her. The one bit of hobby or work that he could take pride in other than killing something--and to fail at it--would not be an easy take for him. Not that Wade considered himself a master sensei, but he'd like to think that Haylie learned something.
And there was...that cocky bit of mouth that came from her time to time that he hated. Now of all times. Really, Haylie? You're going to amp up the testosterone during a test? Had she not moved already Wade would have jabbed her good in the shoulder. But for now he sufficed with a roll of his eyes, stepping back away from the two, and opening his palm to indicate they could go ahead and begin.
"Hajime," he said with a smirk.
