	Raynor waited in the training room, feeling a bit anxious. They hadn't disclosed their relationship to SHIELD, mostly because he was worried that he'd be reassigned if they did. He twirled Lyting in his hand, finding that the dagger always helped him to calm down slightly. Of course, there was a certain excitement as well, getting to spend alone time with Sparky, without the risk of anyone walking in. This was his time to teach her whatever he could - and hopefully steal a few kisses as well. [color=d86615]"Jeg er så forelsket i henne det er ikke engang morsomt...,"[/color] he muttered. 

	Sparky walked into the training room, a little anxious to get started as well. She was twisting her hair slightly as she walked into the room, unsure of what they were going to be doing this time around, and starting to wonder slightly what Fury would think if he found out about their relationship. It probably would result in them being separated, and she didn't exactly want that. [color=F3E010]"So uh... What's the plan this time?"[/color] she asked him.

	[color=d86615]"Um, well...Do you want to train?"[/color] Raynor asked her, figuring that was a good starting point. There were other things that he could teach her beyond fighting - beyond anything that S.H.I.E.L.D. would expect a freshly graduated cadet to need to know, but still. He couldn't help but be tempted to pass on all of this knowledge to her - and to tell her about where he had come from and why he fought to protect the world. 

	[color=F3E010]"Uh, yeah... Training would probably be a good thing... Otherwise some people might a-a-ask questions or something about what we did in here the entire time..."[/color] she said, blushing slightly and looking at the ground. The thought of that was a little weird for her, but she didn't say anything more about it.

	Raynor nodded, shifting uncomfortably as well. He could think of a few things they could do in here. Then an idea occurred to him. [color=d86615]"Come on, I have something I want to teach you,"[/color] he said, heading over to a side door. He opened up the door and inside, there was what appeared to be a real life Framework Hub. This one worked more similar to the Danger Room and could only support up to two people at a time. [color=d86615]"It'll help with your reflexes...And as an engineer, I think you could appreciate it...We use it to train people on stunt driving, tracking, stuff like that."[/color]

	Sparky nodded, following after him. She glanced around the room, a little surprised at what it was she was seeing. The room was definitely an interesting one, and she was a little impressed with the room. [color=F3E010]"So... What exactly are we doing in this room... What sort of training or whatever?"[/color] she asked, still glancing around the room.

	[color=d86615]"...I'm told it's like a popular game - MarioKart,"[/color] Raynor explained. He flicked on a switch and suddenly, it looked like they were on the streets of Chicago, with a car in front of them. [color=d86615]"You drive and try to get to the destination indicated, avoiding traps...It's good for your reflexes as I mentioned, but also is a situation you might find yourself in the field...A classic chase scene..."[/color]

	[color=F3E010]"MarioKart? Uh, okay... Sounds like it'll be interesting... So, what... Guess I'm the one driving? Um... What exactly is the point of this one? I mean, I get it, it's some weird chase scenario, but what exactly is the point of the simulation?"[/color] she asked, heading over towards the driver's side of the car.

	Raynor nodded, getting into the passenger seat of the car. There actually were two pairs of seats in front of them, allowing them to actually sit and react to what was happening around them. [color=d86615]"Right. In this scenario, one of your teammates has been abducted by an A.I.M. crew. You need to rescue them - they're in that car ahead of you,"[/color] he explained, as suddenly a car appeared in the program and zoomed off. 

	[color=F3E010]"Uh, okay Ray..."[/color] she said, deciding to use a nickname rather than flat out using his full name. Sparky got into the driver's seat, before she took a deep breath and started the car up, before zipping off after the other one. She had no idea what she was going to do, and decided to just roll with it, going after the other car.

	Raynor raised an eyebrow, a bit uncertain about that name - especially since Sparky rarely ever called him by his name. There were other things that she called him, strictly behind closed doors. Sparky managed to make the first turn taken by the car ahead, rather sharp for their current speed - 50 mph. However, as she finished her drift and saw the road ahead of her, the enemy car had thrown metal objects onto the ground, detonating and creating a minefield of potholes. 

	She spun the wheel, making her way through the potholes, it wasn't the easiest thing in the world to do. There was a lot of potholes in the road, and she kept spinning the wheel around as she avoided them, somehow managing to avoid them all. She was a little surprise that she had managed to avoid them, but she said nothing.

	Suddenly, the car they were chasing shrunk down to size, driving underneath two cars in an intersection. A second later, it had popped back up to its normal size and the cars were flung into the road, landing directly in front of Sparky. [color=d86615]"...The A.I.M. crew has also stolen some size manipulation technology from Hank Pym,"[/color] Raynor added, hoping that Sparky would stop the car or avoid the obstacles without giving them whiplash. 

	In her mind, she had two choices, one, keep going and hopefully they cleared the obstacles, or two, slam on the breaks and with stopping distance chance hitting the obstacles anyway. In a split second decision, she decided to keep going, and ended up slamming into it. Looking over at Raynor, she was perfectly fine, but she saw that he was not fine, but badly injured, and she started panicking as the car stopped. [color=F3E010]"S-S-Sorry R-R-Ray,"[/color] she stammered out, her eyes wide as she looked at him.

	Raynor looked at the holographic pieces of metal piercing through him, as well as the images of the injuries. He waved his hand through the metal piece, looking a bit amused. [color=d86615]"So I'm guessing it took you a few tries to get your driver's license..."[/color] he said simply, smiling at Sparky slightly to let her know that he was okay. 

	[color=F3E010]"I-I-I'm s-s-so s-s-sorry,"[/color] she stammered again, still panicking. She knew that this was just a simulation, that it wasn't actually real, but she was still freaking out. It looked really real to her, and her mind wasn't wanting to accept that it was fake at all. [color=F3E010]"I-I-I d-d-didn't mean t-t-to..."[/color]

	Shutting down the simulation, the room returned to normal and they were just sitting in two high tech chairs. He sighed slightly. [color=d86615]"Look, you never need to worry about me getting hurt, okay Sparks?"[/color] Raynor said, pulling out Lyting and showing it to her. [color=d86615]"As long as I have Lyting, I'll heal super quick. Like magic."[/color]

	[color=F3E010]"I-I-If you say so..."[/color] she muttered, looking away. She was starting to calm down, at least somewhat, but her mind was still racing, still somewhat believing that Raynor had gotten hurt because of her. Thinking like that wasn't doing any good for her, but she couldn't help it. Her mind was wanting to play some tricks on her it seems.

	Raynor put his hand on her cheek delicately, turning her face so that way she was looking at him, and he kissed her. He doubted they were going to get much training done anyways. She should have gone to train with someone else, but he just couldn't help himself. He adored her and wanted to spend time with her - something he had never felt about anyone before. 

	She kissed him back, but her mind was still freaking out. She hadn't meant to get him injured, even if it was just a simulation. Sparky cared about him, a lot, and the thought that she might be the one to cause him to get hurt scared her. The fact that Raynor was trying to calm her down, or somewhat laugh about it afterwards, but it didn't help that she was still scared.

	[color=d86615]"...There's something you should know about me..."[/color]

	[color=F3E010]"...What is it?"[/color]

	Raynor then proceeded to tell Sparky the truth about himself.

	That was definitely not something she had expected to hear today, it was really weird. [color=F3E010]"Wow..."[/color] was all she managed to say, just staring at him. It didn't matter though, she still cared about him, and it did help to calm her down, at least a little bit.

	[color=d86615]"...So now you know..."[/color]
