[OOC: The link is of Natasha's specific outfit design in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but that's the only thing in this entry that would be considered a spoiler for the new movie.]

______

Natasha has only been here a few days, and she has already found the recreational center. Wearing what she showed up here in (yes, she's washed it since; her Widow's Bite bracelets that she's always worn while in this particular outfit are still on her wrists, but the guns that are usually strapped to her thigh are absent today because she left those behind in her apartment here) because she's used to fighting in it anyway, she's currently giving a punching bag every kind of kick and punch she can. While she does, she's intently focused on her form and motions, and delivering an overall good blow to the bag -- however, she's also aware of her surroundings, so anyone nearby wouldn't go unnoticed by her, and she'd likely say something.

After a few minutes, she stops and picks up her water bottle from where it has been sitting on the floor and drinks from it. She's not all that tired, but she knows she has to stay hydrated and give herself a bit of a break, even if it's only for a short time. She also stretches her arms and legs some (though she did stretch before starting), and once she's finished with that and has a couple more minutes of a break, she'll get right back to the punching bag.

At either point in her time here, she can be bothered for any number of reasons. Want a sparring partner? Sure. Want to make small talk with someone while you work out? Go for it. Making a comment like asking her if she can kill someone with her thighs? She can, but she totally won't admit to it and will give you a look like 'I'm not telling you' but that also says 'yes I can and don't tempt me'.

"Trained by more people than I care to count." A half-smile flashes across her lips. "I might not be in the same situations here that I'm used to being in, at least not yet, but keeping up skills is better than not keeping them up and losing them as time goes on." It seems they'd have that thought in common -- one never really does know when these things might be needed.

Jenny nods quickly. It's very true. She's explored quite a lot of Itinere by now and it seems relatively safe. Safe can be nice - on occasion. But it's still no reason to ever let your guard down.

"Does training make a difference?"

[krasnayapautina]

"A difference in people's abilities? From what I've seen, it does most of the time." She can't speak for every single experience in the history of forever, obviously. "I also just do it because it's something I'm used to, so almost relaxing in a weird way." At least here, she means.

[bitunlikely]

Really, Jenny would much rather be out there fighting monsters than anything else. Or running. She'd just as happily run: to and from danger. But they seem to be lacking the monsters and the danger in Itinere at the moment.

She practices for fun and to keep in shape. But training isn't quite necessary. All fighting techniques had been downloaded into her brain upon her birth.

Grinning, "It is, isn't it?"
