WHO: Nina, Amidio, and Huitzilopochtli
WHEN: Sunday afternoon
WHERE: Huitzi's place (?)
WHAT: Beginning the training of the chaos twins.
WARNINGS: language, violence, mentions of cannibalism? tba
Nina was terrified of all these gods running around who seemed to want nothing more than to kill her and her brother because they were the spawn of some freaky evil they'd never met. How was that fair? All Nina even wanted was to go back to a normal life, but Amidio seemed to be slipping into this one with ease. He'd never fitted in back home in Texas though. While Nina had made friends and had a real life beginning, Amidio had always kept himself distant. This, perhaps, was exactly what he'd been waiting for. Nina didn't know what to do with any of it though.
But where Amidio went, Nina would follow. And if that meant training to be some warrior for an Aztec war god then so be it. If she had the blood of this evil Tescat-guy then maybe it would all just come naturally and she'd find herself some sort of quasi-mythical arse-kicking machine.
So she let Amidio drive them while she chewed on her sleeve, feeling a little nervous about what was to come.
Gently he set his hand on Nina's knee as they parked at the building. He was trying, really he was, but he didn't know how to find a balance between this and everything else. He'd try and get Nina some sort of normal life, but the how and the why of it all escaped him. Sighing he kissed her cheek before exiting the car and walking up to the apartment.
He was a little confused at all the birds, seriously how many did one guy need, but kept his mouth shut. When Huitzilopochtli noticed them he rose from his seat and walked to the two, giving the girl a more critical look then he gave her twin. Sexism died hard for some gods. With a nod he motioned them up to the roof, where they'd have space and be away from prying eyes.

Nina slipped her hand into her brother's as they walked up the stairs, unsure of what all this would come to. "So how does this work?" Nina asked once they were alone, just the three of them.

Huitzilopochtli shrugged, "We test your strength. His," he gestured to Amidio, "is already tested. His habit is to protect you. This is his weakness. To overcome that, we will test your strength. So then girl, attack me. Hit me."

Nina felt a little like an idiot. She'd only ever attacked one person in her life and that had been Dio's little slut friend. They'd been around the same size and the girl certainly hadn't been expecting Nina to attack her with a length of pipe. Huitzilopochtli was a big strong guy and on top of that a god. But she'd said she'd do this and she wanted Amidio to be proud of her.
So Nina shot a look to her brother and then approached Huitzilopochtli and swung out to try and punch him, putting all her strength behind it.

He saw her swing coming from a mile away, but he didn't stop her. He wanted to test her strength, test what abilities she may have. He winced to the strike before giving her a look, "I could have put you on your back five times already. You betray your movements, how you will strike, with how you move." He sighed, glancing to the male. "You both are one piece. To be efficient you work together. You killed the mortal with ease. You are speed. Your brother is strength. We will just have to work on that."
He stepped forward, walking behind the girl and seeing the boy tense up. "Stop betraying your weakness so easily. If I wanted your sister dead, she would be." He was smiling though, "but it is commendable to protect what is yours." He set his hands on Nina's hands and straightened her pose, tilting her hand down a fraction, "never hit with your fingers. Hit with your knuckles." He straightened her hand then, "but it is your fingers that will be your benefit." He tapped her nails, "used these before?"

Nina listened to him intently, letting him touch her and guide her (although his hands on her was surprisingly warm and it freaked her out a bit). Nina looked down at her nails and shook her head. "I've never been in a fight before," Nina told him. "I killed a man but-" she paused and tried not to think about how she'd kissed Jeffery, about how she'd found that sudden strength with him and rip his throat open. He didn't really fight," she finished.

He nodded, watching the boy out of the corner of his eyes. He stepped back, "others fight back. For now, you spar with your brother. Having you spar with me would be pointless. It would lead to frustration on both our parts." He motioned the boy closer and had them face one another. "Learn one another's strengths, and weaknesses. Once you learn that, we'll continue. You, girl try and strike him. Boy, keep her from doing so. Do not hold back."

To fight Amidio seemed pointless. She'd never be against him, not ever. He was the one who would always back her up. She looked at her brother warily because she didn't want to hit him. She'd only just got Dio to come back to her!
She raised an eyebrow to Amidio in question.

Dio stepped forward then, taking his sister's hands. "Hey, it's alright. If you know my weaknesses you can strengthen them. Same goes for me. We can add to each other. Sort of like if you know my moves and I yours we won't have to worry." He glanced to the sun dude, then to his sister with a smile. "besides once we get that figured out we can punch that guy." He winked then.

She didn't say 'I don't want to hurt you' because she was sure Dio would get offended at that. But she did give a little smile at his last comment. Huitzilopochtli did need a good face punching. Then she nodded and balled up her fists. Was she really supposed to hit Dio?
But he wanted her to and the last thing Nina wanted to do here was disappoint, so she lifted her fists like she was a boxer in a film and then punched straight forward quickly. (Was there a name for that? She was sure there was probably special names for different kinds of punches.)

It was easy to move away from the punch, and in the background he could hear Huitzilopochtli 'tsk' before he rolled his eyes and grabbed his sister's wrist to spin her around and put her arm on her back. "good, now break out of the hold."

He pulled her arm and Nina reacted without thinking, already doing it as her brother spoke. She slammed an elbow back and felt it connect with him, trying not to think if she'd hurt him as she pulled herself free and turned to try and punch him again. Surprise was the key, wasn't it? God, they always talked about 'the element of surprise' in movies and stuff.

She reacted faster then Dio would have given her credit because by the time he'd spoken she'd gotten him in the stomach and then hit him again. Coughing he doubled over giving her a quick smirk. He paused when the sun dude stepped closer again.
Huitzilopochtli glanced over them both, "you," he said pointing to Dio, "hold back." He glanced to Nina then, "you do not. Good."

She had made a small sound of surprise when Dio seemed to be in pain and although he smirked Nina felt a little bad. "You told me not to," she just said. She really wished she could be doing this on someone she didn't love. Didn't Huitzi have some weak or lame warriors just hanging around?

He gave his sister a smile before looking to the sun dude, "not all of us hate our siblings you know." When Huitzilopochtli just sighed and shrugged Dio straightened.
Huitzilopochtli crossed his arms, "I suppose I know where to start now. The temple has a gym. Go there and learn. Some of my warriors attend. Learn their strengths. We are all as strong as the weakest link."

A gym, now that Nina could get on board with. She could already picture herself lifting weights and getting strong. "Question," Nina said, holding up her hand a little to the God. "Uh, what do your warriors actually do?"

"As a rule? What they wish when I do not need them. They are my priests, and worship me. You two are exempt from that. They do odd jobs that no one else wishes to do, I am sure they can fill you in. When we hunt, I take the victim's heart. Whatever the victim has on him, wallet and such, is divided equally." He tilted his head, watching them, "for you, whomever you bring down by your own hands is yours. Both hearts and cash. Agreeable?"

Nina flicked her eyes to her brother and gave him a nod that was barely even a movement of her head at all. If he liked that then it worked for her as well.

Dio smiled and nodded. It seemed like a decent arrangement for him. Yet he only relaxed when Huitzilopochtli walked down the stairs. Dio swore that guy tried intimidating everyone as a hobby. With a sigh he looked to his sister, "Gods, right? You alright?"

"I'm fine," Nina nodded quickly and then chewed on her lip. "Are you? I didn't really mean to elbow you in the stomach."

He nodded and smiled, setting his hand on her cheek, "I'm fine. Glad to know you got good instincts. I'll probably complain a little later though." He smirked at her, glancing around quickly before stealing a kiss. "You hungry?"

"I promise to make you feel better then," Nina smiled a little playfully and running her hands gently down his chest, her cheeks touched with pink as she blushed. "I could eat though, as long as you're buying. I'm completely out."

He bit his lips to the tease, suddenly wishing they were at home. "make you keep that." He drew back and nodded, "I'll buy, courtesy of getting my ass handed to me by someone who may weigh a hundred pounds when she's wet." He winked at her, "Come on, you got a preference?"

Nina beamed at the comment about her beating him, not that she really had. But she still felt somewhat proud of herself. "Pizza," she said, holding his hands and then kissing him again quickly. "Feed me and then home. We can feed Pinky and the Brain. And," she teased again, "I can play your nurse."

"I like this idea," He smirked then, "always demanding." He released her then, before anyone came prying, to lead her down the stairs and back to the car. "We'll order enough to get some home to them. We spoil those noise makers."
