"Welcome back to Fight Club," Tyler began. "You've been put through drills, labeled, and classified in neat little boxes for us to play with. If that pisses you off ... it should. But it's how this works

Turtle Wexler, she realized, you are so not a fighter. It took everything she had just to keep blocking, wincing the whole time until finally, before anything too much could happen she called out, "Okay, okay, I give!"
Of course, it was only after she said it that she remembered she had a free arm now and could have tried to punch back.

"I'm good!" Turtle assured her quickly, although the wideness of her eyes might suggest a bit otherwise. Still, she took Fiona's hand to help her to her feet. "Going to Miss Atreides first thing next week for some good ways to get out of a pin, but other than that, I'm good."
And then she paused, a little awkwardly. "Sorry I couldn't offer more of a fight."

Turtle smiled a little at that. "Thanks. You're pretty strong and quick. And I've got a long way to go before I'm as good at hand-to-hand as I am with a gun."

"The academics here might not be the best, but the experiences teach you more than anything. Let's just say I realized that, even if I hate it, it's a way to protect myself when I have to. And I'm a pretty good shot by now, if I say so myself."

She didn't say anything for a moment.
"I never did anything more than elbow my brother a little before my fifteenth birthday," she told Turtle, "and then some stuff happened. I get what you mean. But I'm glad you can defend yourself."

"Powers on, powers off?" Dinah asked, pulling on her sparring gloves, and pointing to herself. "We can do this just like a normal spar this week if you want."

Fiona turned the force to her elbow, then, and went for the Turtle's arm.

Fiona pulled back and slipped off.
"Are you okay, Turtle?" she asked, offering a hand.

Fiona gave Turtle a smile.
"Thanks for the fight."

Then again, Dinah could very likely kick her ass.
