Learning the Ropes: for dirtyenoughforyou (and kingofarchers if they want)

Bruce was more than a little worried.

He had agreed to some training from Agent Romanov but he wasn't sure exactly what she was going to train him in. He had a little bit of experience with jujitsu but that was just defensive maneuvers. Something to get him by in a pinch.

....plus, and he wouldn't say this aloud to her, he'd never trained with a woman before.

But here he was, dressed in sweats and headed for the Shield gym. He wondered fleetingly if they should have a larger training area. Like outside. In an empty field. In Switzerland.

"I can tell, but that's good. Using what you already know along with what you're learning now will help a great deal. It means you'll start to develop your own style of... well, what shall we call it? Offensive defense?" Natasha smiled again before her expression turned serious and she looked like she was readying herself for another round. "Got your breath back yet, doctor?"

He stands back up with a nod, feeling less winded. "Just Bruce is fine..." He hadn't felt like an actual doctor/scientist since he'd become his own experiment. Everyone here at Shield seemed to call him that though.

"What next?"
