Working out frustrations - Lee Adama OTA
Lee was in the gym wrapping his hands carefully before slipping boxing gloves on. Ever since Kara had told him about the frakking wendy house on New Caprica, he’d been trying to get his head round it. All of it stank, how the toaster had been able to persuade Kara that Kacey had been her daughter, that they were a family.

It was eating him up the fact he had known so little about what had happened for so long. It was frakked up and he didn’t blame Kara for what had happened but he couldn’t help feel jealous. He began punching the bag slow jabs at first but working up to some heavy hitting.

Lee let his frustration surface pounding the bag with everything he had, imagining the bag to be Leoben he pummelled it, unaware that he had been shouting at it too, only really noticing when his lungs started burning for air.

Lucas walked into the gym to lift a few weights. Layla was doing some research so he thought he'd take a half hour out and come to the gym.

He was greeted by the sight of a guy pummeling the punch-bag and shouting at it.

He wasn't sure if he should go and leave the guy to it and come back later or stay and maybe talk to him. He decided to stay.

"Hey," he said softly, hoping he didn't startle the guy.

	Lee doesn't notice he's no longer alone until a young guy he hasn't met before greets him. Lee gives himself a mental shake, he wasn't expecting anyone to walk in. "Hi," he says in response. "I guess I didn't hear you come in." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Guess not," Lucas said, his tone still soft. "I don't think we've met before, I'm Lucas," he said holding his hand out to the other man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lee rips the velcro from one of the gloves and pulls it off and takes Lucas' hand and shakes it. "I'm Lee," he responds a little spaced trying to get his brain back into gear. "Wait, you know Starbuck don't you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Nice to meet you Lee," he said smiling softly. "Yeah I do. I taught her to play basketball. Real name Kara right? Oh wait, you're not her Lee are you?" he asked, his smile widening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Guilty as charged it seems, yeah I guess I'm her Lee. She talked about the basketball, I ought to give it a go." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, she said she's gonna teach me Pyramid. So, everything ok? You seemed to have a vendetta against the punch-bag," he said softly, his voice held a hint of worry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah I believe I'm on co-coaching duties for that."

It's then that Lucas brings up his outburst.

"Well vendetta is such a strong word." He says trying to make light of the situation. His face becomes serious. "Look Lucas, I know you mean well, but this is something I can't talk about, or at least I can't go into specifics because its something I have no control over and instead I'm projecting all that rage I'm feeling about it onto the punchbag here. Guess I got a bit carried away."

	"Yeah, Layla was telling me Kara said that." He placed a hand on Lee's shoulder. "It's ok. I understand if you can't talk about it. I guess it's a better way of dealing with things than I did when I found out some stuff I had no control over. You don't have to tell me anything." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I look forward to playing, its tough but good fun." Lucas says he understands. "Thanks for the offer though. Boxing has been my way of dealing with stress for a long time. I'm good really." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah it sounds like it'll be fun." "Yeah, my wife Layla uses boxing too and my friend Peyton boxes too. You look like you're really good. I don't really know how to box though I'm given and taken a few punches." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You'd like to learn?" Lee asks. "I've been boxing for a long time, My old Man taught me and at the acadamy, we have fight nights called the dance on the ship, anyone can fight provided they put their tags in. Its a great way to manage conflict in that environment, but I'll coach you if you'd like." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
