I do not approve of this, silly Before! Vanna chided her partner all throughout the Misty trainee's walk from his dorm room to the Life Labs.
Look, I'm sorry, Vanna, your game-plan is totes awesome and will mos def whip me into shape or kill me in the process. But. And that's a big-a** BUT. I need some downtime too. He reasoned. And with those cookies gone, I'm gonna have to make it up with other foodstuffs. Like pie.
Which was why he was reluctantly peering into the Labs (to make sure H wasn't around) and knocking at the door to ask, "U-uh, do you know where I can find Killzone?" Before would have thought to include a Mister or a Miss but honestly? He wasn't sure if Killzone was male or female or transcended gender altogether and didn't want to risk offense. He wanted Killzone to like him enough to teach him that banana cream pie recipe.

A passing lab tech lifted their eyebrows at the trainee's question, "Therapy section is down that hall, just follow the motivational posters and the ambient music." They didn't bother to mention that he should look for a large man resembling Mr. T in a leotard. Spoilers were no fun at all. Two minutes later there was a small Life betting pool wagering on how long it would take for Killzone to get Before into a power suit.

Before gave the helpful lab tech a big, bright smile, and made a mental note to remember his face for when the trainee ever successfully baked a pie. Hey, it's the least he could do, yeah? "Much obliged!" He beamed and made his way to the therapy section.
Therapy section huh? That didn't raise any red flags or alert any warning bells in Before's opinion. He even went so far as to coo at some of the more adorable motivational posters before he arrived. He made a light knock on the door frame and Before stuck his head in. "Hello, I'm looking for Killzone. A nice Lifer told me to look here."

Music blasted loudly in a room full of large bean bags, still more motivational posters, and what appeared to be a mechanical dolphin in one corner. There was also a large man closely resembling Mr. T in a white and blue leotard, punch dancing and singing along with the music. When he saw Before, he started dancing aggressively toward the trainee, "You gotta want it from the bottom of your heart! b***h! You've gotta give it everything you got! ******** yeah! Do you want it ********?! DO YOU WANT IT?!"

Before had to admit, the song was moving and the beat certainly made him want to move. In fact, it had the perfect rhythm to move away with once the very large, very tall, very muscular man in the leotard began punchdancing his way towards Before. The Misty's initial reaction:
Except there was nothing to sink behind and Before highly doubted he could just sneak away from the approaching Lifer. He debated on simply just running but not now that he'd been spotted, it would just be rude and Before didn't want to be called out on his lack of manners. Lack of skill was totes fine though. Besides, he came here for a reason and wanted that pie recipe, dammit!
He was about to explain the purpose of his visit when the Mr. T in leotards began singing at him. Or was he asking? Was that a rhetorical question or was it a serious one? Does he want it? What was IT in the first place? The Misty swallowed, blinked several times, maybe even made a silent prayer, and answered with a squeak, "Yes?" D8

<******** YEAH YOU DO!" And with that Before was lifted up and wrapped in Killzone's hot beefy embrace. The large man was still bobbing along with the beat, which resulted in the trainees feet swinging about like a rag doll.
"Yeah little dude!" the Life hunter shouted above the music, "I could tell just by looking at you that you were here to give your all and harness the power of positivity! Actually I've been watching you for quite some time, and I think I can help take your life in all sorts directions that will lead to positive personal growth and s**t!"
Translation: Milton Bates, there is a leotard with your name on it.

Instead of panicking and trying to flail about in Killzone's rather tight embrace, Before didn't seem too freaked out at the fact he was held several inches off the ground. Hey, Before himself never thought twice about offering hugs and sometimes just outright giving them (but usually to people he was sure wouldn't knee him in the nuts or something) so why should receiving be any different?
He was, however, feeling a little confused and concerned about this talk regarding "the power of positivity" and "being watched" and "positive personal growth." He was just here for pie DDDDDD8
"U-um, th-that's awesome? B-but I'm here to ask if I could maybe learn about your banana cream pie?" he squeaked, which wasn't all that easy to do given he was at that moment having a face-full of beefcake.

Killzone was feeling it, and the it that he was feeling happened to be a really positive connection with this trainee. That all ended when when the little dude said he was out to learn his pie recipe. Abruptly dropping the trainee, the hunter stood back and crossed his arms over his chest, scowling down at this...this...pie challenger. WHAT? Have you tasted my ******** pies? Have you put their rich, creamy goodness into your mouth? Because if you have and are somehow not a complete and total harsh on the culinary zen, you will have noted that my pies are ******** superior."
A large finger shot out and poked Before in the chest, "And you think you can just come up and ask for it? Do I look like a little b***h to you? Because apparently you think I'm some little b***h that doesn't know the value of the best ******** pie recipe OF ALL TIME. So I ask you again, DO I LOOK LIKE A LITTLE b***h TO YOU?"

If Before hadn't been on a rollercoaster of feelings ever since waking up in a gasmask, he wouldn't have been able to keep up with the sudden emotional whiplash Killzone was putting him through. Something about the sudden jarring shifts between attitudes was surprisingly welcomed and for reasons he nor anyone will ever know, it felt like home emotion_kirakira It also helped he was no longer having beefcake all over his face but it was mildly upsetting that Killzone was now all up in his grill.
Just because he thought that banana cream pie was the only ray of happiness he had after that Mist Tower run!? There were many things Before would happily agree to be sorry for. Wanting that pie? Not one of them emotion_donotwant "I have totes tasted your pies! It was the only ray of happiness I had after that Mist Tower run!" he declared, brows knitted in what was a wounded expression. "I wish to learn from the best, which was why I came to you!" The sincerity in voice was second only to the determination and complete and utter desire to learn. "But if asking is not the way to achieve apprenticeship of your culinary knowledge, enlighten me!"

The squinty-eyed look intensified, little dude seemed sincere at least but, "Listen bro, one does not simply ask for Killzone's pie recipe. One must earn that s**t through righteous trials and Mortal Kombat." He looked the trainee up and down and seem to be ah...sniffing him. "You still seem a bit too fresh to take on such a task. Not to disparage your ability level, but I think you had best go on back to your Easy Bake for another couple years before even thinking about attempting to take on my banana cream."
Killzone leaned back a bit, giving Before some space, "It's nice to have dreams, kid, but what your asking for is a nightmare."

Before had reached into his jacket's pocket and produced a notepad and pen, all the while keeping his attention solely on Killzone. He was trying very hard not to blink. You know, in case the Lifer took it as a sign of weakness. Or worse, took offense at it.
"But isn't that why we woke up? Isn't that why we're being trained and sent on missions and getting the ever-loving-s**t beat outta us? To be able to take on Nightmares and win?" He asked, still staring up at Killzone, wishing he wasn't consciously telling himself not to blink because it made him all that aware that he needed to blink.
"If I can't handle it now, can I at least know what these righteous trials are so I can start preparing myself to be able to handle them?"

"Okay, first, the eye-contact which are establishing is pretty goddamn intense, mother ********. So if this is some sort of ploy to assert dominance, then I regret to inform you that I will be in position that requires violence on my part, do you understand?" Seriously the little dude's staring thing was getting pretty freaky. "Secondly, you are being trained to fight ******** monsters. Elite pie-making is something beyond such matters, and is not to be <******** with lightly."
Killzone smiled with an almost feral enthusiasm, "And thirdly, those trials have already begun, b***h, so you had best be watching yourself."

Before took the warning as permission to blink, which his dried up eyes readily did as well as quickly duck his head to avoid further provocation of the much larger Lifer. All the while the Misty was trying to blindly jot down everything Killzone said. The pad reads pretty much like chicken scratch, and yet Before understood what was written so that was all that mattered, wasn't it?
"those trials have already begun."
Before's head snapped back up upon hearing those words, his eyes widened, pupil dilating, and maybe it was just a trick of the stress-induced tears in the light but the Misty's eyes were sparkling. emotion_kirakira emotion_kirakira emotion_kirakira
"Do you really mean that?" he squeaked in a mixture of joy and awe and suddenly flung his arms open as if asking for a hug.

Under normal circumstances Killzone would be more than ready to hug it out with a little hunter bro. Unfortunately for Before, baking was serious ******** business. And Killzone's more militant instincts had taken over.

Before felt the crushing grip around his ribs and suddenly the world turned upside down. There was the distinct and very loud sound of a body slamming against the floor. The Misty was splayed on the ground, confused and not entirely sure why everything was spinning. The one thing he was certain though was that his neck hurt like <********>. "H-how'd I end up on the floor?"
