Chapter 24 ~ A Traitor Among Us

                                    

                                          
Some of you asked for her picture so here she is. I wanted to thank you all for your support, it really means a lot for me :) Also, I'll soon start editing the whole story and add titles to the chapters (I should have done this long ago xD). I hope you'll enjoy this chapter ^^ 
                          


                          
                   
                          
"No, no, no. Don't do it this way, it'll only tire you out faster, and in a fight, one of the most important thing is the endurance. Also, it's not your wrist that you should be throwing during a punch, it's your elbow." Jason was sitting just next to the boxing ring, giving advice to Kyle who was (desperately) trying to win a friendly fight against Roy. The redhead man was grinning from ear to ear. 
                          
"Hey, Jaybird, why don't you try to show him? Oh wait, I know. You don't want me to kick your ass again," he said amused and playfully. 
                          
Jason snorted and smirked, "Watch out Harper, you could regret it." 
                          
Roy arrogantly lifted his fists and put himself in a fighting stance, "try me." Kyle laughed light heartedly whereas Jason simply lifted an eyebrow in his best friend's direction, still smirking widely.  The man then shook his head and laughed lightly. After that, they kept on training Kyle. The young man was giving his best in his training, listening carefully to what Jason and Roy were telling him. He was progressing really quickly, and he knew it. His blows were more efficient every days. He knew exactly where to hit to either simply injure his opponent or to kill him. Jason and Roy's techniques were quite similar. Both aggressive and brutal. 
                          
Jason had also taught him how to use a gun properly since he had noticed the young man wasn't extremely precise when it came to shooting. Once again, Kyle had revealed himself to be a good student. 
                          
At the end of their session, Kyle was beyond exhausted but proud of himself. He had won a match against Roy. As they walked away from the boxing ring, the older man slapped his shoulder blade playfully. "Good work," and with a smirk, he whispered, "but be careful, I won't be this kind next time." Kyle shoved him away with a smile and raised an eyebrow, provoking a small laugh to escape from Roy's mouth. 
                          
"Will you stop your childishness?" Jason asked, arms crossed but with a small smile across his lips. 
                          
Roy rolled his eyes and flipped the man off, "shut up Jay, will you?" He then walked past his best friend and reached for the fridge, grabbed a bottle of beer and let himself flop on the living room's couch. He lazily put his feet on the table and turned on the television. Jason shook his head in amusement but pushed Roy's feet away from the table. 
                          
"Where are your manners, Harper?"
                          
Roy snorted loudly. "You're not a funny man, y'know that?" 
                          
"That's why you love me, asshole." 
                          
"You're damn right, Jaybird." Jason rolled his eyes. He walked towards his bedroom when all of a sudden, the bell rung. "Were you expecting someone?"
                          
Jason glanced at Kyle who immediately shook his head. "Nope." 
                          
The tall man opened the door and was quite surprised to see his big brother standing just in front of him, soaked to the bone. "Dickie! What are you doing here? Come in, you're all wet." He walked inside the apartment and a black dog followed him, happily waving its tail. "Uh... Is he yours?"
                          
Dick sighed as he removed his jacket and let it hang on the coat rack. "No... Yes... I don't know." Kyle, Roy and Jason evenly arched an eyebrow as they stared at the man. "I'm actually here because of her. I'll explain everything but could you give me a towel first?" Just as he said that, a large drop of water ran from his jet black hair to his face. Kyle jumped on his feet and brought one from the bathroom. He tossed it at the man before he sat back just next to Roy.
