Issue 2 chapter 3
Training Continues.
The two flew around until they found a giant boulder. "Alright, try to move this."
Seraph walked over and pushed against it. It didn't budge. Surprised, Seraph tried again. He then began pushing harder and began making it slowly slide across the ground. Seraph walked forward a couple feet before stopping. He was breathing hard.
(I thought so. Well, that was a 100 ton boulder. Still, it's impressive that he could move it at all at such a young age.)
"Alright, let's take a break for awhile."
The two sat on the cliffside, enjoying the magnificent view of the mountains.
"Sir?"
"Yeah?"
"How long have you been a superhero?"
"Hmm, well I guess this year will mark year 103 for me."
"You're 103?"
"Yeah. I just age a little slower then normal humans do. Physically, I'm in my fourties."
"Wow."
"Yeah, I got started a long time ago and I haven't looked back."
"You must be the oldest man in the world."
Freedom Eagle got a laugh out of that. "Nah, that would be either Patriot or Keres."
"Who's Keres?"
"A friend of mine. He's an immortal."
"Immortal?"
"It means that he can't age or die."
"Wow, that must be so cool."
"Yes, I am certain that it is."
"What about Patriot?"
"Eternal Youth. He doesn't age."
"Oh."
"Anyway, up for some more training? Let's do H2H Combat now."
"H2H?"
"Oh, sorry, it means hand-to-hand, martial arts."
"Okay!" Justice Lad flew up and got ready to train.
Freedom held up his hands, palms facing Justice.
"Hit my palms, hard as you can and follow my instructions."
"Okay."
"Alright...Right Punch!"
Justice Lad did as he asked and punched his palm as hard as he could with his right hand. There was a loud *SMACK!* but Freedom's hand didn't move at all. "Good. Left Punch!"
Justice Lad punched and the same result.
"Woah....that's incredible!"
"You have some real power behind your hits kiddo." Freedom complimented. "Again!"
"Okay!"
"Left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Right!"
This kept up for an hour before Freedom had him switch to kicks for an hour before going to back to punches and started shouting his commands faster and Justice Lad had to keep up.
By the end of the day, they had moved onto combinations and Justice Lad had learned to throw fast punches and kicks and they had worked in some flight training as well.
The Dragonhowl's heard a knock on their door and Freedom walked in holding a tired Seraph.
"The training went very well. He's a fast learner. I'll see you next week." Freedom Eagle handed Seraph to them and flew off.
The Dragonhowl's waved goodbye to him and carried their son to his bedroom.
