It took a year, but eventually everything returned to semi-normalcy. Nate moved on with his own girl, which was very surprising to Theo. Talia and Jace grew closer, to the point where she basically lived at his place. The other two were happy and coupled up Theodore simply couldn't though, he had zero interest in moving on and found himself always just waiting for Jace to fuck up. Since Nate had his own thing going on Theo figured eventually he would get his chance. He didn't make himself look desperate, didn't want to scare Talia off or wreck his hard worked pride. Before Jace had Come around Theo and Talia had worked out together basically every Tuesday. Meeting out in a chosen field together to spar as only those three could. For a while they stopped meeting up and Theo did it solo, sometimes with his brother. Finally he got her to start coming again, like old times. Not even that old of times. It was Tuesday night, slightly chilly, Theo couldn't be sure if she would show, but he was there standing in the middle of the vast dark meadow.

Talia shrugged deeper into her coat, hunching her shoulders as she walked into the meadow. She was looking forward to starting, the exercise would warm her up. She tried to attend Tuesday training regularly now that it had been a while and things had settled into a more comfortable rhythm.

He had already begun to warm up going against the air, throwing punches and kicks too fast for the human eye. He was obsessed with perfect form, and always growing his power, having Nate be the more powerful one was not an option. Sure to most people they were equals but in theo's mind he was superior, obviously.

Talia didn't comment, just watched for a second, irises skittering around as she followed his movement, nodding slightly when he hit something just right. Then, wordlessly, she slid in beside him, going through her own warm up. As the only woman in their group of three she was as interested as Theo in perfecting every motion, of getting everything just right.

He noticed her rather quickly, but didn't stop the warm up to say hi. It wasn't until the end as his movement slowed that he commented," you're late."

Talia snorted in amusement. "And you're abrupt."

"I thought you were serious about being the greatest warrior ever," he teased with a small grin that could be considered a smirk. "I guess you've been getting soft because of that boy of yours?" He wasn't passed putting Jace down but he figured she knew he would never get to that point at least when they were alone. He was who he was it never changed.

She just tossed a wing of black hair back. "I'm going to kick your ass," she decided, challenged.

He laughed out loud at this to taunt her, "if you can."

She rolled her neck, then lunged.

He caught her lunging fist midair and the ground moved from the impact. They definitely had equal power, perfect partners to spar with. He countered with a swift kick to the knees. He want afraid of hurting her, Nate would go easy because of his feelings for her, Theo would be tough because he knew Talia could handle it.

She blocked the kick, went for the fast jab at the solar plexus.

As she jabbed to the pit of his stomach, he snatched her hand, held it firm and attempted to spin and release her to let her fly and crash.

She let the momentum pull her close to him but dropped her shoulder in and slipped a leg between his to sweep his feet out from under him.

It worked and Theo was on the way down, but as he went he flipped, catching himself on his hands then going to feet then hands and back to feet. After the double cartwheel he had some space between her and him as he took stance he retained his trademark smirk.
