Training Area

John hugged her tightly, though he was careful of the extra strength his left arm possessed. "Ask away."

"Why did you shut me out? "

John sighed. "I shut everyone out, Hannah, it wasn't just you."

Hannah looks at him, "John, You know we would help you, and I know you where feeling hurt, but you have people here who care about you. You and Allie were some of the first people who welcomed me, and made me part of the family. You know you can talk to either of us about anything right?"

John sighed. "I pushed you away because I cared about you. I hospitalised my boyfriend, a talented fighter and someone stronger than me. I was terrified I would hurt someone else, maybe even kill them, be the monster I never want to be.

Hannah sighs and gives him a hug, "You aren't and never could be a monster John. You've got too good of a heart for that. Have you thought about talking to your boyfriend again?'

"A heart doesn't make a person good," John contradicted. "But I have talked to him. It's one of the things that pulled me out of the rut."

Hannah nods, "Well either way, its good to see you smile again." She says giving him a sunny smile herself.

John grinned and mussed a hand through her hair.

Hannah smiles, "Oh you want to play that way hu? Well looks like you've awoke the tickle monster again." She says with a smile as she goes for all his ticklish spots.

John yelped, darting away from her. "Mercy! Mercy!"

Hannah smiles and laughs a bit as he tickles in his ticklish spots.

John yelped and darted away, hiding behind the punching dummy.

Hannah smiles then sits down in the dirt, "Still got it." She says with a smile as she looks up at the clouds.

John rolled his eyes, padding over to sit next to her.

Hannah smiles, "Have you thought about what you want to do after camp?"

"I originally thought maybe the Army, but the Army doesn't like prosthetic armies," he joked, gesturing to his metal arm. "Even if it is the best prosthetic around, and is pretty much better than my old arm, they still won't let me in. So I don't know now."

Hannah nods, "You'll find something. I want you to promise me that you aren't going to give looking for the job for you."

John nodded. "I promise."

Hannah smiles, "I want you to write to me every day. Ok?"

"Every day? I can probably manage every week," John compromised.

Hannah gives him a playful shove, "Just don't forget about me ok?" she says with a smile.

"I'll never forget you," John promised.

Hannah smiles, "Well I should be getting back to the infirmary. See you later though?"

John nodded, smiling.
