Lyd walked into the gym with Ro, a towel over her shoulder as they headed over to one of the benches.  She placed down her water and towel and pulled out something to wrap her hands and wrists with.  She liked the punching bags, it was one of her favorites.  "You ready for this?"  She smirked looking over at Ro before she began wrapping her wrists carefully.

Rowan gave her a look before she started stretching a bit. "Of course," she replied. She was born ready, but she wasn't about to say it. Far too cliche.

"Right... and you can say it you were born ready.  I know your thoughts,"  Lydia smirked finishing her right hand and stood up stretching a bit.  "I was born ready too."  Lyd smirked brightly.  "What do you want to start with?"

A few feet away, the sound of fists pounding against one of the standing punching bags could be heard. A single person stood, beating out a difficult cadence against the hard leather.

"Up to you, mind reader," Rowan said with a smirk. Every since her lung cancer had gone into remission, Lydia had been kind enough to help her get back into shape...not that she was out of shape. She just needed a little more retraining. It was more about her feeling comfortable with herself than anything else.

"We should run on the treadmills first you know get the heart pumpin and stuff."  Lyd smirked and stretched her legs a little bit before heading over to run a little bit.

The steady beat continued, setting an easy pace for the two to run to, though the man kept hitting the bag harder and harder. The sweat began to slide down his muscular back, his tank top had already been abandoned on a nearby bench.

Rowan nodded in agreement. A run would be nice. "Set the pace, chief," she said, making a sweeping motion with her hand before following Lydia to the treadmills.

"Gee thanks..." Lyd laughed and walked over to a treadmill and got on it starting it up slowly.  She first started just walking then sped up to a jog for a while.

The steady pace snap of fists against leather came to a stop suddenly. Grabbing a towel from the nearby bench, Talon wiped his brow before throwing it back down. He started to do pushups on his bare knuckles on the wooden floor.

Hopping on the treadmill next to Lyd's, Rowan set her pace to match her friend's and then started her jog. She was glad to be back at work. Being out of commission had really sucked.

Lydia jogged for about five minutes really getting her heartrate up and blood pumping before increasing the speed a little more.  She smirked at Ro, "race ya..."

Talon looked up as he finally heard the two women in the gym. He smirked as he saw both Lydia and Rowan racing on the treadmills. Popping himself up onto his feet from doing the pushups, he slowly made his way over to the two lovely ladies with his towel, wiping the sweat from his brow.

"Oh please, Lyd, so not fair," Ro mock-complained. "You've always been the better runner." Lydia gave her a look and she stuck her tongue out at the woman.

"I can't help it if I have amazing calf muscles." She smirked and slowed her pace down a little bit.  "We should lift weights after this."  She suggested looking over at her best friend.

"Well if it isn't my favorite patient...." Talon replied as he came to a stop in front of the two ladies treadmills. "I see you aren't taking the advice that I prescribed to you."

Rowan was slightly started at seeing one of her doctors from the hospital in front of her. He had been one of the men who had helped find a way to get her cancer to go into remission. "Doctor Helms," she said, slowing her pace a bit. "...What are you doing here?"

Talon smirked, amused to see that she was slightly startled at his sudden appearance. "Working out, the same as you apparently. Though I must remind you to know your boundaries. I certainly for one wouldn't want to see you in my office again before your check-up."

"She can handle herself I'm sure," Lydia smirked and looked at Ro.  "She needs to get back into shape anyways."  Lydia explained reaching over and upping Ro's speed on her treadmill.

"Lyd's right. I need to be on the top of my game. And besides not even death would get me in your office, Doc," Rowan retorted smartly, swatting Lyd's hand away.

"I'm quite sure that she can, Miss Chadwick," Talon replied, smirking as he noticed her upping Rowan's treadmill speed. "I'm just reminding her to not overdue it too quickly." He turned his attention back to Rowan. "I wouldn't be so sure about that, Miss Wolfe. I just checked my schedule this morning with one of the nurses, and you are in fact due back in my office for your routine check-up in a few days. And your boss most definintely knows that."

"Actually, that's Agent Wolfe," Rowan said, ignoring what he had said about her appointment. Last she had checked, she was going to see Doctor Evans anyway. He was her primary physician at APO.

Lydia slowed her pace slightly and looked at him for a second.   "Umm not to be rude but why are you here?  This is the CIA."

"Allow me to apologize, Agent Wolfe. My mistake in mispeaking your title. And your's as well Agent Chadwick. Though I can assure you that while the Timberwolves are on missions, I am most definitely going to make sure you are both perfect health," Talon replied.

"Wait what?" Lydia hit the stop button on her treadmill.

Rowan stopped her treadmill, too. "You make it sound like you're on the team with us..." She prayed she was wrong.

"Then you would be quite correct, Agent Wolfe. The Director herself placed me on your team to ensure.... things." Talon replied. He stepped back again, "Oh and you don't have to stop on my account." He began to remove the wraps from his hands, preparing to once again rewrapping them. He was ready for another round with the punching bag, though he'd start off with the jump rope first.

"Ensure things? What is that supposed to mean?"  Lyd asked narrowing her eyes at him.

Talon raised his hands to show that he didn't know either. Picking up the rope, he began speed jumping while he waited for Rowans reaction.

"I suspect it means that the Director isn't one-hundred percent sure that it's a good idea to put me back on a team and therefore she's assigning a doctor to the team to make sure I don't screw things up," Rowan said darkly. She was not pleased.

"Possibly.... but like I said, I don't know." Talon replied, still bouncing up and down on his toes. "If I knew, I'd tell ya. Believe me. I don't like the idea any more than you do. And if I didn't believe that you were field ready, I wouldn't have signed you out of the hospital myself."

Devon slowly walked down the hall from the elevator after going through the security check on the second level. The directors secretary was nice enough to tell him where his sister was. He hadn't seen her in over a year and his heart was fluttering with excitement as he walked towards the gym.  Devon slowly walked into the gym and glanced around staying near the door.

"She's ready for the field ok?" Lydia said in Ro's defense.

"I'm not denying it," Talon replied with a grunt.

Devon smirked hearing his sister's voice, it was so hard not to hear her she was loud. He spotted her at the treadmills and slowly made his way over to her. She was with other people but that didn't matter. "You just always have to start fights don't you?" Dev smirked getting closer to them.  He smiled looking at his sister she was different longer hair and a little more buff than he remembered but her attitude was still the same.

Lydia looked over at the voice coming from behind Talon, she knew that voice.  Her eyes widened and she couldn't help but squeal loudly before just about leaping off the treadmill and running over to the man and jumping into the man and jumping into the man's arms and hugged him tightly not wanting to let him go.

Rowan blinked and then glanced at Talon. "I haven't seen her act like that towards a guy since the UPS dude showed up with the ultimate knife set she ordered like a year ago..."

Talon stopped jumping the rope, throwing one end around his neck and holding onto both ends. "Well I guess he's got something the UPS guy didn't have."

Devon tightened his grip around his little sister.  "I missed you."  He smiled brightly hold Lyd.

Lydia finally dropped down and grabbed his hand pulling him over towards the treadmills.  Her huge smile could probably have been seen for miles, it was so big.  She looked at Ro then at Dev. "Ro, this is Devon my older bro."

Rowan hopped off her treadmill and walked over to him, extending her hand. "I thought I recognized you," she said, grinning. "It's so great to finally meet you, Devon. Your sister talks about you all the time."

"Good things I hope."  He smiled brightly and took her hand in his.  "And it's very nice to meet you too."

"Oh ya and that's Talon." Lyd motioned towards him.

"Nice to meet you, Devon." Talon replied, holding out his hand for the other man to shake.

"You, too. So is Ro short for something?"  Devon asked politely not wanting it to be just a nickname Lyd used.

"It's Rowan. Rowan Wolfe," the woman answered, smiling. "I'm your sister's roommate. If she would stop grinning long enough to actually use her brain cells, she would have told you that herself, I'm sure."

"Wait... she has brain cells? Since when?"  Devon asked shocked and smirked slightly after it.

"Mean!" Lydia smacked his arm and glared at him.

"They've been in the same room for five minutes and they've already slipped back into routine," Rowan said, directing her comment more at Talon. She shook her head, smirking. She had often wished she had had siblings, but was now glad she didn't. Besides, Lydia was as close as a sister anyway.

"Routine, gotta love it." Talon replied with a smirk of his own. "It's good to see you back, Major."

"Thank you," he nodded to Talon.  "It's good to be back. So you two are roomies huh?  Do you padlock her door so she can't get out at night?" He smiled looking at Rowan.

"Nah," Rowan replied, "But I do lock my own door so she or Dante can't come in at whatever God forsaken hour they please."

"Oh smart..." Devon grinned and looked at his sister.  "You were always a troublemaker."

"I am not!"  Lyd huffed and placed her hands on her hips.

"Yes, you are," Rowan said, grinning quite evilly when Lydia shot her a quick glare.

Talon turned to Rowan. "Why don't we give these two some time to get reacquainted? I'll even be nice and spar with you," he offered teasingly to Rowan.

Rowan gave him a sharp look. "And /why/ exactly would I want to spar with you, Doctor Helms?" she questioned.

"Because I'm willing to spar with you." Talon replied. "And... it'll give Lydia some time to catch up with her big brother. Which I'm sure she'd be very happy to do."

Ro glanced back and forth between him and the other two before she grinned wickedly. "How about you and Devon spar a little?" she suggested. She'd been told all about Dev's skills from Lyd and was curious to see how Talon would fare. "A little man action is always fun to watch."

"Or I could be nice and spar with you, giving the Chadwicks a chance to catch up. Then I could spar with the Major afterwards if it'd make you happy," Talon offered in exchange.

"It'll be funny," Lydia said with a smirk.  "Ro and I have to see how your fighting skills are before you go out into the field."

"Why not?" Talon replied with a shrug. He tossed the rope towards his tank top and rolled his shoulders out.

"Umm if you want me too..." Devon said watching Talon.  He didn't want to hurt the poor doctor.  Yes he probably had some kinda training, but Devon was a Marine a highly trained killing machine.
