Taylor It has been almost a week when Taylor moved in with the Avengers. He had not seen much of the other Avengers but he guessed seeing they where main hero's of this place they must be vary busy. So he mostly walked around trying to get to know this place better or just stayed in his room. Though today he wanted to check out the second floor. He had heard that's where the training room was. Though he was unsure if he would be allowed so he would not stay long. Taylor made his way down to the second floor. When he got there he was amazed how big the training room was. the young boy looked at it though the glass. He wanted to go inside but fear he would set something off and would put himself in danger. " Wow.. the more I get to know this place the more amazing it becomes.. I wonder though... Will I ever be as good as the other Avengers?"Taylor said to himself. After a bit he got up the courage to go into the training room. It would be alright if he did not touch anything right? sliding his card in the scanner Taylor then entered the training room. Wow it looked even bigger from the inside.

It may have been a lucky day for Taylor that he was not alone in the training room, in fact one of the older Avengers, Balis, happened to be in a training session. Several rings were scattered about the course with several targets being at the ready or were flying ones he could aim for. In fact it seemed it might be a course fit for a large bird in a sense, and in a way it was.
With a steep dive Balis cam into sight, having come from a platform a few feet further up from Taylor as he easily swooped down, flying through the energy rings or performing some aerial maneuvers. At the same time he struck at a target or two with his bo staff or firing with his solar manipulation. He was doing this so as to keep himself well trained and well ready for combat, though his strength alone seemed to be able to smash the targets into smaller pieces then they should have been, something that even knocking the slightly reinforced steel towards the ground below.
Though as Balis came to the very top of the room several turrets set on safety fire surrounded the demi-god hybrid, aiming and getting ready to fire. Seeing he was surrounded Balis closed his eyes as he generated the heat inside him and as the shots were fired he let out a battle cry as he sent out a visible dark orange ring of a heat wave, stopping the energy fire and hitting the turrets as they blew from the overheat. This though caused the room to rise slightly in temperature to about 85 degrees. In a way the display might have seemed intimidating to most anyone but Balis was satisfied with the session and began to lower down.
Though that was when he noticed Taylor down below, seeing he might have very well watched the whole thing. "Oh well hello there, I didn't even see you come in."Balis said as he hovered a few feet from the ground, crimson feathered wings holding him aloft.

At first Taylor thought he was alone but then he heard sounds and looked up. the young boy's eyes grew wide when he saw that someone was indeed training here. Taylor backed up as far as he could till his back touched the wall. Aww man he should nit have come here!! And where did this guy come from? How come he did not see him right away?? If he had he would not have come in here. Though where he now stood he watched as the winged Avenger trained, wow he was really good... Though suddenly it got very hot in the training room and he started to sweat. Taylor brushed away sweat off his forehead and then took off his coat. What this one of the winged man powers?? Ugh he hoped he would not make it any hotter..though when it seemed the winged man was done Taylor then started to make his way back to the door. But froze when it seemed the winged man spotted him. " I.. I.. I'm sorry.. I.. did not know anyone was here.. I.. I will go back to my room." Taylor said in a nervous tone not looking at Balis.

Balis had never seen this young teen before but it was obvious he must still be very new, Taylor seemed very nervous or scared in a way. It made the shi'ar demi-god frown slightly to see someone new so scared or uncertain of what he was allowed to do, but he assumed young Taylor had no idea he was fine. "No wait, your quite alright really. The training room is for everyone young man, even younger Avengers like yourself."Balis told him assuringly, feeling the temperature beginning to go down in the room before he landed behind Taylor and smiled.
"Though I have not seen you around yet, what's your name?"Balis asked curiously, folding in his wings as he rested one end of his bo staff next to him and tilting his head slightly as he pretty much towered over the boy. Again it would likely be intimidating and not help with the fact the young mutant was already nervous with the fact he had been spotted. Balis just hoped it wouldn't be like this for long.

Taylor stopped when the winged man told him to wait, hmm? He was not in trouble? Taylor then looked sideways at the winged man still to nervous to fully look at him. Well it seemed this fellow was nice and not angry with him.. That was good but Taylor still could not help but feel nervous. This guy was soo big and he himself was soo small... As he felt the room start to cool down Taylor put his coat back on. That was better it no longer felt like he was outside on a very hot summer day. When the winged man asked his name Taylor hesitated. Though after a moment the young man slowly turned to face Balis but could not bring himself to look fully up at him. "M-my name is Taylor Ackart sir.." Taylor said still in a nervous tone.

"It's nice to meet you Taylor, my name is Balis Vantellio but some call me Sol."Balis said kindly, seeing the boy was still nervous and he could guess he was a little shy around others he had yet to meet. Though he felt sympathy for the younger Avenger who probably was not use to this kind of thing and probably still had a lot to learn and he could understand. Everyone was young at one point and learned to try an find their calling, sometimes it may not always be easy to settle into but eventually you learned.
Kneeling down on one knee so he was more towards Taylor's height he finally met eye to eye with him but Taylor might be surprised to find his eyes were different. Though they were shaped like human eyes they were a piercing icy blue that lacked any sight of pupils of any kind, which when angry could surely make anyone nervous. But these strange eyes only held kindness and Balis extended a hand,"I certainly hope I'm not frightening you too much young Taylor, I know my size can be a little scary to some."

Taylor nodded when Balis said his name along with the nickname others sometimes called him. Taylor then looked up at Balis, again feeling really small compared to standing to a giant sized man. When Balis came one to one knee to be more his hight Taylor took a few steps back. And his eyes grew wide slighty when he looked at Balis's eyes. They where not normal, they had a human look but no pupils. But after looking into Balis's eyes Taylor did not feel so uneasy now. he felt the kindness coming from his eyes. When Balis asked if he was scareing him Taylor looked at him ussure what to say, though when he held out his hand the young boy looked it hesatated before taking Balis's hand. "A little... Sorry not really used to be around others.." Taylor said softly. Most of the time before coming here Taylor would spend most of his time alone and way from people. And would only do things for others if he knew it was within his power to do so.. And last time he stood up for people is when he met Tony. And long story short he was here now.

Balis gently shook Taylor's hand before letting it go but only smiled when Taylor confirmed what he had been guessing,"No it's alright. We're all young and scared once in a while Taylor, no one is going to get onto you for that it just takes getting use to a new place and new people."Balis assured him as he stood back up, stretching his wings slightly before folding them to his back again. "So were you looking to trying to train with your abilities today? If so I can make this simply a field again, without the need for all the fancy stuff."He asked as Balis went over to the weapons rack and set his bo staff there for now since he didn't need it yet.

Taylor was amazed how gently Sol shook his hand but yet he could still feel the firmness in it. When he stood back up and spoke some more he gave a small smile. It was nice to hear such a huge guy say they all are scared sometimes. Yeah he seemed to forget that even most hero's where huge and powerful they where still people.. No matter where they came from. Though he soon blinked when Sol asked if Taylor had come here to train. No that had not been the case but... Seeing as he was here now and with another Avenger. That thought did not seem so bad. "I was just looking around but.. Training a little does sound like a good idea." Taylor said with a smile. Starting to feel more comfortable.

Balis chuckled slightly before he looked back at Taylor,"Trust me even if your not use to training or it wasn't your intention, it's always good to get some in to help maintain control and to further your skills."He said the younger Avenger, walking back over to Taylor as he gave him an encouraging smile. "In fact you don't even have to have a course if you don't feel up for it, just simply practicing is always more then enough. So on that note what is it you can do Taylor?"Balis asked, looking at the young human with a curious gaze.

Taylor rubbed the bacjk of his head as Sol spoke and gave a weak smile. Though he nodded agreeing with everyword. Before Taylor always had to go to his secret spot to train. Even though he kinda feared his powers he still needed control. He had that but there was so much he only knew how to do But here in a real training room he would be able to explore his powers more without worrying about hurting people or scareing them. When Sol asked about his powers Taylor blinked as if he was thinking. "Wind.. I control wind sir." Taylor said and decided to show it. Taylor closed his eyes and his hair and clothes started to move as if was a really windy day, then Taylor lifted of the ground a few feet before landing again. The wind then died down Taylor opened up his eyes and looked up at Sol again.

Wind huh? Balis was curious to how Taylor could control the wind, having never heard of anyone actually being able to perform such a feat. And it seemed Taylor was right when he could as a wind seemed to pick up out of no where, the young mutant even able to lift himself off the ground a few feet. Well that was quite interesting and the young hybrid demi-god smiled,"Not bad at all Taylor."He commented, thinking the young man had some good potential with his powers. "In fact with enough training you might even be flying like me without wings."Balis said with a chuckle.

Taylor smiled and laughed a little at Sol's comment. " That's a goal of mine.. To someday be able to fly in the sky.. Though for now all I can do is a flew blocks at least. Before getting tired." Taylor said with a shrug. He then turned to look at the training room, what kind of training would he be able to do here? Also what training did Sol have in mind? " So what kind of training should I do sir? Taylor asked wanted to know. Would it be learning how attack or defend? or both? Well he could not wait to find out.

"Well the more practice you do the more stamina you build, but give it time and you'll be flying in no time."Balis said with a nod, knowing it would take time before others who did become capable of flight without using wings had to train just to accomplish it. But he looked at the training field as Taylor inquired about what he should try and had to think for a moment, wondering what might be best to try for the young mutant. When it came to wind it sounded like it could be similar to most element type powers but he certainly didn't want to tire the young boy out.
"Well it depends, is there anything you want to train with the most first?"Balis asked as he looked back down at Taylor. Maybe he wanted to learn to do something first the most rather then letting someone else choose it for him if not Balis would be more then happy to help him learn either way.

Taylor stood there thinking what he wanted to work on.. he already knew how to defend pretty well already.. Taylor then looked back up at Sol, "I.. I would like to work on attacking and stamina." Taylor said then looked at the training room again. He had no idea what was in store for him but he knew he had to try. In a way he hoped if he did well his Father would take him back.. Would love him even though he was a mutant.. And let him come back home.. But he knew that would never happen... He made it clear he could never come back when he bunched in the face and thrown out.. Taylor tried not to let his thoughts show on his expressions as he looked up at Sol and waited.
