Miles arrived at the Moreland home after school a couple of days after everyone had talked with each other about getting ready for Kane to come. Miles had been feeling like the odd one out from his friends, he didn't have any powers or super powers related to his blood line, he was just an ordinary teenager. Connor had suggested to him that he meet him at his home to learn how to fight.
"So....when do I learn how to punch someone?" Miles asked with a slight smirk.
"Well, actually the first thing you're going to be learning is defense. It helps protect you and you're gonna want to need it." Connor suggested as Connor began teaching Miles about blocking punches. He then taught Miles how to deflect punches as well.
"Oh, can you teach me that shoulder throw?"
"I guess, it is a little hard if your opponent is heavier than you." Connor said as he demonstrated the arm positions to throw someone over their shoulder.
"Alright, now let's see you try what you've learned in the last couple of minutes." Connor suggested as Connor began to throw punches at Miles which he began to block. Connor then got ready for a shoulder throw Miles grabbed Connor and tossed him as best as he could over his shoulder and onto the ground.
"Oh my god, Connor! Are you okay?" Spark said as she rushed over to Connor's side concerned.
"Has Miles been possessed? Is he attacking you? Are you alright? Do you need your shirt taken off?" Spark said as she began to try and remove Connor's shirt.
"Spark! Stop, it's just some training." Connor explained.
"Oh, can I watch you train with your shirt off?" Spark said fluttering her eyes.
"No, and....actually I was thinking about Kane and all the stuff we've heard about him." Connor said as he motioned for Miles to continue to practice with him as he continued talking with Spark.
"He's a massive sociopath, that's what we've learned." Spark commented.
"Yeah, we learned he's a monster to non-humans and humans who associate with non-humans. I mean, god, when my parents told us about what happened with that shaman and fairy, I couldn't help but think of you in that situation." Connor said as Miles grabbed hold of his body and wrestled him down to the ground.
"That won't happen to me Connor, besides with the others we can stop this guy before he can do anymore harm." Spark said.
"Right, with the others and I don't want to picture you in any kind of danger, which is why I think....you should probably stay with your own family until the rest of us take care of Kane." Connor said as Miles pinned him down on the ground.
"WHAT?!!!" Spark shouted as she pulled Miles off of Connor and pinned Connor down on the ground.
"I am not going to hide out with my family and worry about what might happen to you. I am going to fight this guy with you and the others, got it?" Spark said as she looked right into Connor's eyes.
"I...I can't let you get hurt." Connor finally answered.
Spark stood up and helped Connor to his feet.
"I....I'm going to go inside and help your mom with the babies, maybe your little brother will want my help, unlike you!" Spark shouted as she ran inside trying to hold back her tears.
"Spark, wait!" Connor tried to call out as Spark slammed the house door behind her.
"God, I...I think that was my first big fight with her." Connor said.
"Maybe you should go talk with her? Your dad could give me a few fighting lessons while you do?" Miles suggested as he saw Jacob Moreland had been watching the boys train.
