Training

"No. Stop."

Gwen sighed. She let her arms drop to her sides. "I planted my feet like you showed me. What did I do wrong now?" She asked testily.

Walt stopped and just gave her a long look.

He gave her credit. She snapped herself out of her funk and corrected herself. "Sorry about the attitude."

She saw Walt nod. "Better. If you don't learn a single other thing today that's fine. But that attitude will only hold back your progress and potential. It's your biggest problem. I know you're a diligent student. The same diligence will help you excel here."

Gwen nodded and smiled. She liked that. Walt was quick to point out things she did right as well as the things she did wrong.

"Your footwork is improving but your strike is wrong," he said coming up behind her and raising her arms to lead her through the exercises motion. "Imagine a spot that's just behind or past your target. That's where you want to be aiming for. Like you're punching through them. Like this."

He let go of her arms and stepped in front and took the same stance as her. She tried to watch his movements and mirror them... and she tried not to get frustrated.

It was hard though. Walt was essentially starting her over. He had her show him her moves. Over and over, analyzing her technique... or apparently her lack thereof. Half of everything she was doing was either wrong or half-assed.

She was embaressed as she'd not taken the criticism well. She was a top tier vigilante hero. Walt had sighed. He'd told her to not use her webs but come at him with everything else.

She had... and she got her ass handed to her. Walt hadn't even broke a sweat.

She'd complained it was his own super ability... so he'd had her tie an arm behind his back. It made her losing and complaining seem even more embaressing as he did it again with one hand almost just as easily.

Worse neither time did he strike her. Just evaded, blocked, countered and threw... but mostly tripped. He knew right when her balance or footing was bad. When she was over extended. He knew just how to move for her own feet to trip her up. To deflect or redirect her attacks and pull her off balance or gently throw her.

Then he told her the things she'd done right and the things she'd done wrong. Gwen was surprised. Walt had mostly praise for all her original moves she had developed. According to him they were "pure" inspired by her acrobatic and dance background she'd developed a rudimentary and unique style of her own. It still needed a lot of work and polish but he praised many of what he called a unique technique. He encouraged her to keep working on it and add to it.

On the other hand everything she'd copied from Movies, TV and video games was either flawed or utter garbage. Which was where they were at now. Intro to how to throw a punch 101.

And Gwen watching and trying to copy Walt. Watching Walt carefully. Watching Walt... who looked good. He'd stripped of his shirt for practice. Walt generally didn't wear t-shirts often. Shirtless Walt. All powerful muscled physique... he was pretty hot even with the scars here and there... infact the scars made him hotter!

Gwen stared thinking about his hot body. Hot bod that had fucked Jubilee apparently. Fucked her so good she was kinda messed up! Reading up on sex stuff! Sore but glowingly happy! He was walking her way... getting closer... could be fucking her- (*WaNt To-*) "Owch!"

Walt had flicked her forehead. "Stop spacing out and pay attention," he sighed. "Where is your focus? You didn't even get a spider sense reaction, did you?"

Gwen shook her head embaressed rubbing her forehead. It really smarted! Walt nodded and clapped his hands. "Alright. We're taking a break."

Gwen blinked. "Already?"

Walt nodded. "Yup. You need to mentally recalibrate. I can, and will if I have to, train you boot camp style... but personally I don't always fond that the best way. When your seriously stuck it's good to switch tracks. We'll work on your mind since that seems to be getting in the way."

Gwen was surprised again. She hadn't expected that either. She watched him grab their water bottles and then sit under a tree. He looked at her and patted a spot in front of him.

She went to sit down but he held up his hand with one finger and twirled it. She swallowed, nodded and turned around sitting facing away from him.

She saw him set her water down next to her in the corner of her eye. She heard him scoot closer and then felt his breath on the back of her neck and then his fingers. Gwen stifled a moan as he started giving her a massage. "That's what I thought," she heard him say. "You're tense despite the stretching. Try to relax." He started gently kneading her neck and shoulders.

*Relax?* she thought. *How am I supposed to do that with your big, strong, sexy hands touching me! Still... it does feel good! His big, strong, sexy and talented hands... are kinda nice...*

Walt smiled feeling her begin to relax. He still wasn't sure what it was that was bothering her exactly but she was starting to ease up... but dammit she looked good in her tights and sports bra! Smelled good too and her skin was-

Walt shook his head and took a deep breath. He needed to stay focused too. "Your fighting style is a bit of a freestyle mixed martial arts deal with your own special moves you've developed, so that's how we'll focus. You're actually a really good and an effective fighter. You have a natural talent. Unfortunately your basic moves you used to form that style are garbage. You built a beautiful temple but you did it in a swamp. Your foundations are no good. So we need to remember what is best. Save the best of it. Plan how to rebuild. Knock down the rest and rebuild with the firm foundation you deserve. Do you understand?"

Gwen nodded and even smiled. "You're doing this to help me improve myself. I'll not only be a better fighter... but it'll make me safer, right?"

Walt smiled. "That's right. You'll be less likely to injure yourself or an opponent that you don't want to seriously injure when you go for a disable, disarm or take down. We'll have separate classes on weapons and firearms. You may not use them and that's fine. But knowledge and experience combined with training are your greatest weapons. Knowing things keeps you a step ahead, training reinforces the proper actions and reactions to a given situation while experience gives you the insight. Putting those three things together is how one improves at just about anything. Missing one of those three components creates an imbalance. You have a lot of experience already, but your knowledge is lacking and you've had almost no training. You've been fighting at severe disadvantage. We're going to change that."

Gwen nodded. "I want that too. To be better and excel. Especially now that I'm relying on the Spider Symbiote."

Walt nodded. "Yes. You're much less powerful then your Spider contemporaries, generally speaking... however you Gwen Stacy have done something most of them have failed at. You didn't give in to the Symbiote and you didn't reject it either. You embraced it as a partner. Most of the time that doesn't go well but you've managed a fairly stable partnership so far... and even more rarely one where it's seemingly rather balanced. You both fight well together and seem to support one another in a true symbiosis. You should both be proud."

Gwen smiled hearing that. The fact Walt considered her special even compared to other Spider-People made her feel good. It did make her proud. *I have great partners,* she thought to herself. "Thanks Walt! I am hearing that but I won't let it get to my head either." (*PrOuD*)

Walt smiled and stood then helped her up. "Good answer. That makes me proud. Like I said the cirrect thinking and mindset is key. Working on your mind and mindset is just as important." He tapped her head. "It's just as important to train for fighting here in your mind as it is in your br-uh, heart! Yup!" His eyes, finger and gaze had drifted down to her sports bra and he glanced up and away.

Gwen blushed but grinned. Walt was definitely blushing! "You were about to say something else!" *They aren't even that impressive and yet he still... "liked" what he saw!* (*AtTrAcTiOn!*)

Walt coughed. "We should get back to training..." he turned away and put his hand in his pocket walking away.

Gwen hurried after him. "Did you just... "rearrange yourself"?" (*DeSiRe!*)

"Don't know what you're talking about," Walt denied taking his hand out of his pocket. "Let's do it... training, that is!"

"That's not what you're thinking about!" Gwen stated peeking at his hard on. *Even after fucking Jubilee into a state he wants to...!* (*CoPuLaTiOn!*)

Walt tried not to notice how much swing she had in those damn hips drawing his gaze to that beautiful ass and lovely legs..."After hand-to-hand we got weapons and firearms training to get through, so pay attention. This place used to be a school, you know?"

Jubilee tried not to laugh as she watched the two of them from the kitchen. "They are both so obvious," she said. She looked at the fruits and vegetables that she'd gathered for practicing techniques with and sighed. "I probably am too, I guess..." She shrugged and went back to her laptop and the video she found. "Whatever! Too fucking hot to care!"
