wolf pack fighting center(open)

[phamster2002]

before Ryan left for San Fransisco his dad told him about a MMA training gym if he wanted to sharpen up his skills just ask them for a guy name Johnny the Rocket Fist and tell them who his father is and they will take real good care of him. its been about two weeks since Ryan left home and he was kinda getting home sick... its only natural for someone to be home sick when he is gone away from home.

it was friday after school he didn't have anything to do and he started to get a little lonely and board. so he decided to do the things that he always love doing, fighting in the octagon so he went to check out the place where his father told him about, Ryan had his sports bag with all his gear in it and was walking down 4th street past the Johnny Rocket diner and past a comic book store called Heroes. after a few more minutes of walking he saw a huge sign saying WOLF PACK fighting center with a cool looking wolf logo on it.

Ryan walked into the gym he took a look around and he felt like he had just stepped into heven. the building looked like the official UFC fighting center. he saw everything that a MMA fighter needed. the gym had an official standard UFC octagon with with a few sparing matches going on. next to the to the cage alot of weights with a few dudes doing bench presses and squats and a little bit further there was a few punching bags with some guys beating on it and the rest of the building was matted so people can practice their ground fighting and wrestling skills. and around the wall there was pictures of some of the greatest MMA fighters in the world one of them that Ryan couldn't help but notice was the one with Tito Ortiz his former mentor, Ryan looked at it and smiled. as he walked into the building there was a sign in desk with a young lady sitting there, once she saw Ryan she said "Welcome to Wolf Pack fighting center. Are you already a member or are you interested in a member ship?" the lady said as if she was one of those telemarketers

Ryan looked at her with a surprised look because he didn't notice that there was someone because he was way to busy admirering the place "oh... hi there im looking for someone called Johnny Rocket fist, is there such a person here?" Ryan asked with a smile on his face.

the young lady laugh and said "its been awhile since i heard someone called my dad that, and yes he is here. may i ask who is looking for him?"

Ryan responded "Ryan Alexander."

"okay just wait right here for a moment please." the young lady said and got off her chair and left to get her father

about a few minutes later she came back with a man that is a few inches shorter then Ryan. this man had a small pork belly and some love handles, his hair was either gray or white he had a bushy mustache. the man smiled and walked up to Ryan and gave him a huge hug and said as he was giving Ryan a bear huge "so your Ryan's boy Ryan Alexander III" after the man let go of Ryan he introduced himself to Ryan " the name is Johnny Marcus." Johnny said as he stuck his hand out for a hand shake.

Ryan shook his hand "nice to meet you Mr. Marcus my father told me so much about you and how you use to be his ring man." Ryan said with a smile on his face

"yes yes those were the good old days, but now what can i do for you today son? and please call me Johnny there is no need to be formal here your family kid" Johnny said with a chuckle

"well i would like to do some training here if you would not mind" Ryan said in his shy voice.

"why yes you can. and for you, you have a free member ship here with out your father i wouldn't be able to open up this places so feel free to help your self or what ever, and dont worry your father told me a last week that you were in town so everything is all set up you have a locker with your name on it go have some fun." johnny said while putting his arms around Ryan and walked him into the fighting center.

"thanks you very much." Ryan said and headed to the locker rooms and in a few minutes later he came out of the locker room in his MMA fighting cloths. Ryan had his shirt off with black shorts that said on the side "punishment" his feet was wrapped and he had his UFC gloves on. Ryan headed down to the mat and started to do push ups and crunches

Uncapping her bottle of water, Kira took a long, slow sip of the cool liquid. Her eyes closed briefly in relief as the drink cooled on its way down, the chunks of ice lingering in the bottle floating up to the back of it. She was here, trying out the center, mostly because Taiku mentioned it was good...and Kira knew it was yet another way to build the lithe muscles back fully, from when Kvist had dangled her from Varron's roof.

Quickly twisting the cap back onto the bottle, she grabbed the towel sitting on the handle of the treadmill she was running on, continuing the steady pace she was jogging at. A few minutes more, and she shut the machine off, hopping off to stretch her legs slowly as she grabbed her bottle of water, slowly wandering over towards the weight racks.

Reaching up, Kira tugged at her black hair, pulling at the pony-tail to tighten it before dragging her fingers through the mass of hair, sweeping her hand around to brush at the tendrils that escaped. Her blue eyes travelled aimlessly, not really seeing anything, but she was conscious of where she was going and who was in the way.

Taking a few moments to stretch the muscles in her arms, legs, and core, she sighed, taking one more mouthful of her water before setting it down, selecting two five-pound weights. Gym over the last year or so had been endurance and strength, so she knew what she was doing at the base of things.

Setting her feet comfortably apart, a little less than shoulder length, with each weight in her hand, she began a series of lateral raises. Light weights for this time. She didn't know how fast she would tire, and chances of her lasting long through the same exercise with ten pound weights wasn't good. First day at the training facility - though a regular gym would have worked just as well - and she wanted to see her limits, not push herself and tire out quickly.

Inhaling as she lifted, and exhaling as she slowly lowered the weights with resistance to it, she glanced around the gym, concentrating on her breathing. Sweaty, heavy-breathing people were all around her, some pushing weights in dead-reps, others using Swiss balls to their advantage, and others not so far away were doing general push ups upon the mat. One caught her attention for a moment. He looked like a fighter, sure enough. Gloves, 'Punishment' shorts, shirtless - to which she didn't mind, there were plenty more shirtless guys around if she wanted eye-candy - though that wasn't what she was here for.

Still, she felt awkward enough already, having been sizing him up the last few seconds, her arms still raising and lowering in steady intervals. She didn't bother calling out to him, feeling silly enough as it was. Instead, she concentrated on getting through the reps.

after a few minutes of push ups he started to get board he did he started to do 50 more normal push ups but it was still boring he did the faster and faster. eventually he just went screw the push ups lets do something else and plus his arms were getting swore after awhile. he started to walk around the gym he was looking around there was nothing but sweaty shirtless men around trying there asses off.

but there was one guy that Ryan could not help notice. he was a big black man with some of huge ass muscles and he was doing arm curls with 200 pounds worth of weights on the bar. he started cussing and screaming "im ready for this shit!!!" he screamed, but the people in the gym looked like they were already use to it and it wasn't bugging Ryan because he seen these types of people a lot already to the point were he was a custom to them, this one just freaked him out because of the fact that he was a bigger then Ryan and was afraid that he might go on a rampage of some sort. Ryan tried not to think about it to much so so he just decided to by a water bottle.

Ryan walked towards the vending machines he putted his dollar and 25 cents in the thing and a water bottle came out of it. he grabbed it and with out thinking he just open the thing and started to drink. the water was nice and cold it cleanse Ryan's dry mouth, Ryan didn't stop drinking until half way to the bottle when he started to look around.

Ryan looked around and on the other side of the fighting cage was where the weights were and he couldn't help notice a young female was doing using hand weights. the fact that she was the only girl there was the thing that caught Ryan's eyes. he looked at her and admire her body, he saw her muscles growing with every stroke, sweat moving down her body, her face with a burning passion to finish her reps that she had in mind. but there was another thing that Ryan couldn't help notice. she was pushing her self to hard and from the looks of it she wasn't ready to stop mentally but Ryan could tell her body was about to give up.

he chugged down the rest of his water and started to walk to the girl to warn her that at that rate she will soon pull a muscle because she was over extending her arms. as he was walking to her he threw the bottle into the recycling cans next to the machines. as he got closer to her he caught one of her arms "put your arms a little bit closer to your body because at the rate that you were going at with the other thing you will eventually pull a muscle." Ryan said in a calm voice with out even looking in her face.

Ryan finally looked into her face and he was just stroke on how good looking she was his tongue got tangled up and he didnt know what to say. it was the fact that he didnt talk to girls that much yet alone good look ones like this. Ryan's face got a little bit red and he let go of her arms and walked away towards the cage.

"I'm ready for this shit!!![/b]"

Kira was one of the few people besides Ryan that had looked over at the large man screaming out his..."motivating" shouts of rage and determination. Muscles bulged, spit flew, and Kira could only raise her eyebrow at the display before looking away at something else and shaking her head. Stealing a glance off to the side at the other weight machines, she caught the eye of - albeit briefly - someone she knew, who was using the leg press, for want of anything better that she could call it.

She didn't know why...but the whole place reminded her of one big Johnny Bravo fest... Smirking lightly at the memory of the cartoon she'd caught, she allowed her gaze to slip slightly out of focus so she could concentrate merely on finishing the reps.

While she seemed to not notice anything going on around here, there was still the fact she was quite aware, only choosing to ignore the majority of the background noise and action. Switching from the lateral raises to bicep curls, her feet still a little less than shoulder-width apart, Kira drew a slow breath in, exhaling lightly at the switch. She didn't notice it, but she wasn't holding her arms as close to her body as she should have been.

The guy that came up to her had no problems pointing it out to her. Blinking in rapid succession, she looked at him as he grabbed her arm, lightly and with no malicious intent, obviously. She noted what he said, and gave a calm, warm smile.

"Thanks, I hadn't noticed..."

He hadn't looked at her until she responded, and then seemed stuck for anything to say. It was apparent a few seconds later that he was...embarrassed, perhaps? Why he would be, she didn't know, but he started to walk away without another word.

Normally, she would have let him be on his way, but she was feeling rather...spontaneous today. On a whim, she called out lightly to him, since there was no need to yell, the burly black man having quieted for a minute or so...and even then, he was far enough away that she didn't have to yell. "Unless you feel a burning need to get on with your workout, do you think you could press pause a minute and talk with me..?"

as Ryan was walking away from the girl he heard her call out to him. Ryan stopped right on the dot. and he stud there for a half a second with out turning around. so many thoughts were going through his head he was planning on what he was going to say to the girl but all he can really think was 'why is a girl like that want to talk to a loser like me?' his face started to turn red he started to mutter quietly that no one can hear him to him self 'get a grip over you self Ryan its just a girl.... act cool like you usually do....'

he started to sweat his face was now really red do to his shyness over the other female gender. as he thought that he cleared his head and knew what he was going to say to her he turned around. at the first sight of the young lady's good figure and her good looks Ryan completely forgot what he was going to say he lost that cool head that he thought he was going to have.

"y...y... yah, s... sure... lets talk." Ryan said studdering over most of the words he was saying while trying to hide his shy red face with a smile, his face wasn't that red but he was sweating like crazy. he calmed down he was able to collect himself

he walked up to the girl "yah sure lets talk" Ryan said with one of his jolly smiles he wasn't as shy or freaking out as much because he remembered a tip that his aunt told him when he wanted to talk to girls.

"Y...y... yah, s... sure... let's talk."

Raising an eyebrow at the guy's antics, she waited patiently until he decided to step closer, noting the red face and the few bullets of sweat that were starting to appear on his forehead. As he stuttered, Kira held back a laugh as she finished up with her reps, giving the kid the time to compose himself.

"Yah sure let's talk."

'And so we have stutters, a red face, and general repeating speech. What did I get myself into, here...?' She thought a moment, offering him a slight smile in return.

Slowly lowering her arms, she exhaled and put the weights on the rack, slipping down to pick up her water bottle and take a slow sip, reaching back with her other hand to lightly massage her scalp. He didn't say anything after that, and Kira decided she would have to be the conversationalist this time, sighing slightly. To the guy and anyone else, it could very well have been a sigh of relief after she took a drink.

"You have a name...?" She asked politely, before offering her own. "I'm Kira..."
