Marvel: The Strongest Avenger

Chapter 5 - ∆Training Part 3∆

(Jonathan) "Come on Bruce 10 more, come on you can finish it"

As soon as I was done with my pushups I just fell on to the carpet as my arms gave out, my whole body was aching, while sweating buckets I exclaimed, "John, what's going on? you and Alfred both increased your workload by huge margin and everyday is like the first day I started training, are u preparing me for war or something?"

I don't know what happened but someday last week Jonathan and Alfred got together one day and doubled my workload. I think both of them got jealous that I'm training with the other so they want me to quit the other one's training season. Due to heated jealously the poor bystander was working till he drops.

(Jonathan)"I thought you wanted special ops training, Bruce do u wanna give up? Cause one word and I'll stop?"

"Come on man, don't do that, just give me 5 minutes to rest and then we can continue. You do know that I am working the best I can, Don't you? I have school in the morning cause mom wants me to have a normal kid with friends, then at 4 I have an internship with Professor Alex, and soon as I get home I have dinner and 4 hours of hellish training which you and Alfred kindly imparts on me. I go to sleep 2 in the morning! Is this what a normal kid does?" I screamed trying to get at least 1 more minute for a break.

(Jonathan)"Sorry about that kid but you aren't normal and this is what you want before I have to give up my time for your old Butler"

"Fine, I'm coming" I said

(Jonathan)"Forgot to tell you kid, I got permission from your father for you start practicing fire arm so this weekend , me and Alfred will be taking you to the ranch to teach you how to shoot and prep you for wilderness survival which will be happening in during Easter Holidays"

"First time I'm hearing this, can't believe that old man gave me permission, but it's good to put stuff I learn to the test" I murmured.

For 3 months straight, I was drilled by a Special Ops Operative and a M16 retired agent. From the basics of knife handling, to skinning a carcass and how to clean, dismantle, handle a gun ranging from pistols to rifles. For hours during my weekend I was in the Gun Range practicing like an all American Gun Enthusiastic Male.

*bang* *bang*

(Jonathan)"Good Kid, the way you pick up and perfect every fire arm I give you is incredible, are you sure you don't want to go to the military?"

(Alfred)"I assure you Master Bruce doesn't want to go the military, and Mr. Jonathan just so you can know. His martial arts, swordsmen and espionage skills are on par with an expert, if he wants to, he should join the lesser copy of the M16, what do you call it.... ah the CIA" he said while sighing.

"Enough, enough, you two stop squabbling like 2 babies" I said while putting the safety in and taking out the magazine. "Jonathan what's my score for 1000m"

(Jonathan)"Give me a second while I check" he said "20 points, perfect, I don't know how you do this kid"

"I don't know myself" I said with a hint of ridicule.

(Jonathan)"Enough joking around kid, come with me to the back of the ranch, Alfred you come two, no don't ask any questions. Consider this the final test before you go on a one month survival mission." he said while walking to back of the ranch.

After 5 minutes of the ideal short talk.

"Woah, is that a boar Jonathan and why is he in a cage?" I asked curiously.

(Jonathan)"Easy you take this, kill it. I know you haven't killed anything you need to experience it before you go to wilderness or it will be a major problem kid." he said while handing me a Winc.h.e.s.ter Model 1897.

(Alfred)"I don't agree with his methods but he is right Master Bruce, it will be a problem later on"

"Ah... ok, ok" I say somewhat panickly. When holding the gun I have somewhat tense and shaky but quickly I regained my former training and took deep breaths.

Deep breath Bruce, Deep Breaths i thought to myself.

(Jonathan)"I'm gonna release it in the count of 3, 1....2...3" when he opened the gate which lead to the boar running toward its exit which was blocked by me. it must have thought easy a small kid with a barrel wants to stop me, hilarious.

*Bang* *Bang*

It was clear to everyone that my first shot hit its body, not perfect while the second hit him right in the face. The skull exploded like an fire cracker spraying blood and brain matter all over and some came on to my clothes.

Meanwhile, I did nothing but vomit. Over and over again. Long after it seemed there was nothing more for me to bring up, I continued to vomit. At last, the bearlike Jonathan held up the skin of Boar hind which he skinned while I was vomting, which he had so cleanly peeled off. Even the n.i.p.p.l.es were intact. Never to this day have I seen anything so horrible. Someone took the skin from it and spread it out to dry the way we might dry a sheet. All that remained lying on the ground was Boar corpse, a bloody red lump of meat from which every trace of skin had been removed. The most painful sight was the face. Two large white eyeballs stared out from the red mass of flesh. Teeth bared, the mouth stretched wide open as if in a shout. One little hole were all that remained where the nose and skull had been removed another one in a random part of his back. The ground was a sea of blood.

"Goddamit" I said to myself, "man up boy" I murmured.

(Alfred)" It's on Master Bruce, it was good first try" he said while taking out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from my face and vomit in my lips.

(Jonathan)" Yh kid, at least you didn't faint, we will continue doing this and you will learn how to skin a fresh carcass and cook it before going on the trip next month."

¶ Time skip to next day afternoon ¶

"Bruce, why are you distracted. When are you going to publish your PHD article, you know that if you get chosen by the board that you will be the you would be the youngest man to hold 2 PHD's in the entire world, so come on make it impressive, being only the youngest PHD holder is good but come on you can do better" said Professor Alex

"I understand Professor" I exclaimed while getting back on track.

"I know that you are tired but is a PHD in computer science really all you want? If u get this PHD in Human Physique and Biology then I will call you a genius and get you a week's internship with Doctor Abraham Erskine when he comes to visit the United States. You do know that he is a master in this field and you know that this is a once in a life opportunity and don't tell anyone I said this but I heard that this may be his last opportunity visiting the US before he has to go back to Germany."

"Why is that... ah nevermind, but ok I try best but no promises" I said while continuing with my paper on Human physiology and how to enhance it.

(Alex)"Atta boy go get them"
