Issue 2 Chapter 2
Training Begins

Seraph woke up, ate, got dressed, packed and waited by the door for Freedom's Eagle to show up so he could begin training. His father was reading the newspaper. There was an article about the child genius Marnie Montgomery. Seraph could read it from across the room. Apparently she had given her android some upgrades and it was now able to understand and translate foreign languages after hearing them for a few minutes. Seraph made a mental note to see if he could meet her later.

There was a knock at the door and Bob let Freedom's Eagle in.

"Ready to go Seraph?"

Seraph nodded and flew over to him. "You bet!"

"Glad to hear it." Freedom's Eagle said. "Don't worry, he'll be home by tonight."

Seraphina and Heman nodded. "Goodbye, have fun Seraph!"

Seraph waved goodbye and they walked out. "So when does my training begin?"

"Right now actually." Freedom's Eagle said and flew up into the air. "Keep up with me."
"But you're......" Eagle held up a hand. "Don't worry, I'll go slow today."
"Oh.....okay." Seraph said and flew up into the air.
"Alright. Go." With that, they were off and flying in the air. Eagle was flying with ease and even turned around to look at him with his arms crossed as Seraph did his best to keep up. "That's it Seraph. Don't try to force your speed all at once, let it build up gradually."
"Okay..." Seraph focused on Eagle and began slowly accelerating. He felt the wind whooshing around him as he began moving up to 40-50-60 MPH. Eagle smiled. "There you go." He then flew to the side. "Let's work on navigation. Follow my path." Seraph had trouble stopping and continued forward for several feet before he came to a stop. He then spotted Eagle and flew over to him. Eagle flew upwards diagonally and Seraph had to change course to follow him. They continued flight training for two hours, working on speed, navigating and flight combat. Seraph had trouble with that. The idea was to attack Eagle. Seraph quickly found that his ramming tactic wasn't working. Eagle would simply fly over or under or to the sides, so Seraph had to adjust his tactics and try to anticipate where Eagle would go. They also worked in punches and kicks. As they flew over a scrapyard, Eagle motioned for Seraph to follow him.

The two touched down and Seraph walked around with Eagle. They soon discovered a 30 ton reefer truck. "Alright, this will work. Seraph, try to lift this."
"What? B-but it's huge!"
"So was the armored suit you fought and you were able to knock that thing around just fine. Think of the truck as a smaller version of the suit."
"Oh. Okay." Seraph walked over to the truck and got under it and then stood up. It was shaky at first but he managed to lift it up with ease. "I did it!"
"Strong as I expected. Alright, let's go find something else for you to lift." He said as they flew off.
