Ok, clearly this was getting out of hand. He was competent in Italy. But Japan has a whole different breed of villains and heroes and Vigilantes. Giovanni was hopelessly outmatched against them and thats why he decided to go to the Gym. But first before he does that, he needed to find a trainer. He texted a reliable wellspring of knowledge that was Narcissa
Il Padrino: Hey. Do you know a decent trainer? Someone who will help me improve?
He clicked SEND and then waited. He was sitting at his desk as he waited and he was so bored. Giovanni considered going to his room to lie down as he waited for an answer. Well, maybe instead of considering he should do that? ... naaah.
He instead went online and looked for new pets. Cats to be exact. Nimue liked that cat Kuro so much. Maybe if he had a cat as well that would bring him some good brownie points. Plus the classic espionage villains had evil cats. He could pull that off too in his villain chair and a cat in his lap
Maybe he wouldnt buy a cat now. But some time later. He then looked at the time and wondered if Narcissa was busy. He didnt want to ping her again or text her, so he let her be and decided to go and rest. He took off his shoes and went to his room to rest on the bed. Ahhh, a pillow was just what he needed. A bed too. Sitting in a chair all day is not a pleasant experience. He then wondered what Nimue did. But he didnt call to bother, she was probably doing some hero patrol stuff. Well that was his guess. He doubted she was at UA at this hour. He looked at the ceiling and thought how to improve and how to get Nimue to trust him

[attr="class","grHeaderB"] [attr="class","grBody"]For several days to even maybe weeks her private phone had been rather quiet. Her work phone was that of the government. Her private one was that of Daffodil but no text. That was to be expected, she found his message and she had no idea what she had said, vague memories was what she did remember when it came to her midnight meeting with Antonio. Her drunk adventure with Kozue. She just left chat every time his name popped up, it was just not going to be great at any time and she should offer him the speace if that was the least she could do. The weather was nice, she could work whenever she wanted, which was the luxury of being a secretary and yet knowing all the gossip. Hm, tiring that's how much this was and how it felt. She looked up rurprised that she heard a ping on her phone. Someone texted? Who could that be? The only person crossing her mind was Kozue but it wasn't him when she read Giovanni's name on her screen. Either she filled in villains their real names or a name with the same capital letter as their alias, Crowley for example was Charlie and so on. Trying to figure out a way to recognize and remember names and not have villain names in her phone, that was the idea.[break][break] She noticed the text message Giovanni send her and replied that she wondered what he needed, what training? What did he want to make better? Being a shield, she would send Ndeye and pay her lots and also ask if she could watch, seeing her bodyguard's power would be interesting. No, no she could not really ask an individual to go there and defend or fight. There was only one person she could send and that was herself. Her quirk however was definitely not meant to be fighting, she was meant to be defending herself, disappearing in a cloud of nothing and not fight but she could fight. Besides she was training herself to become better. It was something to consider, hm... Thus she texted back. <Meet me at The Gym in Musutafu. I have a membership.> Besides it was a fun way to keep an eye on the number one vigilante. More for her own fun, like a stupid game of cat and... cat? Territorial, invisible and just plain fun. That's what she was doing. Narcissa would get up from her lounge chair that she used outside and went to change and grab a bag to head towards the gym in Musutafu. She gave a time of 30-40 minutes to Giovanni before she would leave and would go there. She liked to wait on her clients, she would even see what she would charge for this, the possibility that she could learn more was already tempting enough after all.[break][break] What would the Mafia boss his quirk be? Was that what he wanted to improve? And for what reason? Hm... to be a gossip queen was amazing.

He got a text back asking what training? And he typed an answer. Saying just general training, the body and if by some miracle possible quirk maybe. Narcissa soon texted back and he read the message. Yep, he was gonna go to The Gym. Giovanni went to his closet and threw away a bunch of clothes, he looked for sporty clothes. Something he was realizing he was tremendously lacking. Like it was a total absense of sports clothes. Clearly, he was not the type to work out. Well, after many many digging, he did find somethin. Some pants and a blue shirt. Specifally a savoy blue shirt. Which was actually a jersey. Yes, he liked football even if it meant to cheer for his nation.
He then went to his car and would drive to The Gym, since he did live further away. Without Nimue, the ride was quiet and dull and he was just tense and all around serious about stuff. After a while, he parked and arrived.
Giovanni left the car and walked over to the building that is the titular gym and saw Narcissa where he greeted her "Ah you're here. I assume you came early? Well, thats good. I can appreciate that"
He liked the early birds. But he didnt expect her to train him. He thought someone who was a nobody. She was a somebody who knew him from business. He needed to know how to deal with this. He doesnt want it to let it out that he's a non combative weakling. And he wants his quirk under wraps. Granted he wondered if he can use his quirk. Like buildings can be 'no smoking allowed' and his quirk involves all of the smoking to be allowed otherwise he's quirkless. Well, it was only one way to find out. They needed to go and see

[attr="class","grHeaderB"] [attr="class","grBody"]She always wondered what made people do particular moves. She did not see Giovanni as a person that would count on her in such cases, she always had more contact with Antonio than Giovanni. It was not like she ripped off the bandage when she just saw him, she had maybe had a secret hope Antonio was there, but after finding his message in her notebook, it was obvious she would never see him again. She wasn't sure yet if she was having peace with that or if she would figure out something to blackmail him or get his attention in another fashion but at this point, it wasn't about her. Giovanni wanted something, and she was far too curious why he wanted to learn this as what his quirk was. An informant was home to every little thing in the universe, whatever title it was given, only so she could learn and that's exactly what she was doing at this point. She would leave quickly, make sure that he would know when she would arrive so he wasn't there before her. She wanted to make sure she would wait on him and miss nothing, he could not change his mind or get another trainer. After all, quirk training was allowed and the number one vigilante was probably better in training than her but she was going to take it. She would just wait for him to stand by her side and she looked at him and shrugged, "You asked for help so here I am." She would lie if she would have to say she knew how to train a quirk but she could help him get an idea of how to defend himself and so on.[break][break] She would get in before him, "Do you have a membership?" If he did not, she would lean over the reception desk and ask if she could have her plus one guest to come with her today and if they could have a private training room. The woman behind the desk looked from one to another and did not seem to like the idea for whatever reason that Narcissa did not want to think about it but she gave her a card key and smiled to them both when wishing them a nice training session. Well so far so good. She was just sure it would all be fine as long as they did not ask. She could always pretend to be the dumb client who had no idea they need a trainer if they were going to train quirk stuff but for now she would just go on. As she wasn't dressed for immediate training, she pointed Giovanni to the male changing rooms and would disappear into the ladies before coming out after ten-fifteen minutes. Her hair now braided and her wearing training trousers and a loose-fitting shirt made it easier. She beckoned him to come with her again and moved upstairs to get to their training room after she checked the key several times for the number.[break][break] "What I can do is get a trainer from here or we will first see if I can train you, no harm done with that right?" She put her hands on her hips and turned after saying so, to look back at Giovanni while standing in the middle of their training room. She was quite curious what he would do or say next.

"Do I look like a guy who has a membership? Of course not!" even though he asked a rhetorical question, he answered it right away. Narcissa leaned over the reception desk and Giovanni watched her. She asked something about a +1 guest. Giovanni didnt get what she meant, but he let her play it out. Giovanni then looked at the woman who looked at the 2 of them. The woman didnt like the idea. She gave her a card key and smiled to them both when wishing them a nice training session.
Soon Narcissa pointed Giovanni to the male training room. He shrugged and went there. Giovanni scratched his head. He already was dressed in his sporty clothes, since he didnt know how gyms worked. He was ready already, so he waited for Narcissa to get sporty. He waited for 10ish minutes or so and now Narcissa had her hair braided and her wearing training trousers and a loose-fitting shirt made it easier. She looked nice. He gets why Antonio was into her. Anywho, he followed Narcissa as they went upstairs to their training room after she checked the key and did whatever. Again, Giovanni had no clue how gyms worked and what was normal or abnormal.
After that Narcissa spoke. She can get a trainer from here or they will see if she can train him. Giovanni nodded "Ok, lets try training us two. I dont want anyone else"
Once he gave her the answer, he mirrored her action. He put his hands on the hips as he now wondered what will they do and how will they get started. He was mildly nervous. He was shit with being physical. Pushups or anything. He couldnt handle it. But quirk training made him nervous too. Did these places have smoke detectors? He'd have to be real careful with his Quirk |

[attr="class","grHeaderB"] [attr="class","grBody"]She was annoyed at him. His attitude wasn't going to get him anywhere but she would ask him soon enough. Not yet, so when she indicated where the changing room was. She took him firmly at his underarm, "Also, a sassy attitude like that will not work on me. Before we leave, you can better sign up for a membership if you want to be worthy on your own." She glared at him, it was a piece of advice whether he wanted to hear it or not and she turned her back on him to go change. Her attitude would be a lot easier there, she would give him a small smile as she returned and would indicate for him to follow her. She hoped he would learn to understand that not everyone was against him. Sparkling princess if he was going to make an attitude out of this.[break][break] She would walk up to the first floor and would just open the door that she had. She was sure the woman thought they would not train and that it was weird but they were going to as long as this man was going to hold up his part of the bargain. She wanted to ask him how Antonio was doing but she was going to do the best she could do for him. She would do the best she could do for herself. She was not going to do anything but be an empty shell for everyone including herself. She watched him as she asked if he wanted a trainer and she nodded. "Alright, fine by me, but then tell me what you want to train and tell me why, it will just stay between us." She took a less aggressive stand as he mirrored it and she crossed her arms underneath her chest. She would eye him, he looked nervous, she was by no meaning a well-done trainer but she had trained for herself so she would do the best she could to tell him, tell him how it worked. "Tell me how physical you are? Can you go for a run without tiring out immediately and so on?" she needed to know, and why, what was his goal to learn?[break][break] She wasn't sure where to start apart from a warming up and what he needed was just what she thought she needed before. He would be ready right? To do everything for someone else? For his own sake, could she deal with it?

He shrugged it off "Sure I'll sign up" and then well, off to the changing room. Later, they went to the first floor and to one of the training rooms, he presumes. She asked should she get a trainer from here or just do it herself. Giovanni preffered her. And then she asked what did he wanna train and why and it will stay between them. He answered her "My Quirk and my physical strength. Why? Because Im weak and I dont want to be weak. You know what I am. I dont want to be weak compared to my peers" He referenced his villain status. He didnt want to be the weakest one. He needed to get his shit together. Somehow
She asked him how physical is he
"Not at all" he answered
And then she asked can he run without tiring immediatelly.
He nervously chuckled and said "S-si. I can do that no problem" he nervously chuckled "Im embarassingly good at that. But I want to do more and not just run away like a coward"
He did that enough in his life. This time he wanted to stand ground. And not let the heroes bully him. Like that Ultra woman. She thinks she's such a hotshot she can punch a civillian and have no reprocussions. Well jokes on her. He will sue her and he will learn how to defend himself, so in the future, the next time a hero thinks they can get smart with him. He will be ready! And even Nimue! She would surely appreciate how strong he gets. He has to be a man for once, not a sissy who hides and lets others work. It doesnt mean he will be a front lines guy like Thunder. But just something to work with and not be so weak like a twig that kids could beat him

Maybe Giovanni rubbed her the wrong way because of everything he represented and everything that was the opposite of hers. He did not have to be afraid of Antonio falling in love with him. Though she wasn't that oblivious to the problems the two had, it was just her own arrogance and vanity that did not want to admit she wasn't the only one. But he had someone who loved him and he loved someone even if they were on opposite sides of the line of good and evil so to say. Yet he dealt with it. Maybe that's why he infuriated her with his sassy attitude. He wanted to become better but for what reason and why did he ask her? She expected to be dropped like a brick but the Spaniard had kept his word. What was there to say about it, not much... it was just what it was... she had lost him.
She would try to gather some more information, trying to hold on that he never disappointed her and that she still had a large debt open for him and thus rather should keep him at her and his own good side. Who knows when Saturn would ask to be paid. She nodded to him when he explained and she felt that issue again, "Okay we can deal with that." She would ask if he was physical if he trained and so on, she made a bit of a scrunchy face, "You would need to train more often here then or somewhere else." She would ask if he could run without tiring very fast and she raised an eyebrow as he chuckled. "You... right. Okay, well tell me about your quirk than?" She would put her hands on her hips and wait again, she should be more relaxed, that was what she would try to do when he would be done telling her. They needed to stay allies after all.

Giovanni nodded and made note of it "Si, I guess I should try and train and... ugh... sweat" Giovanni said, still a bit formal in the way he carries himself. He is the type of guy who thinks he's too rich to sweat and do grunt work. But still recognizes the fact he needs to be strong and in doing so, he has to sacrifice himself and do grunt work that poor people do
After that Narcissa asked about his quirk. Giovanni asked if she would like a demonstration or not. If she wanted a demonstration, he'd show her his quirk by lighting a cigarette and manipulating smoke. If not, then he'd tell her "I..." he stopped and thought how to explain it. Once he mentaly found the words, he'd proceed "My Quirk is Smoke Manipulation. I can simply control smoke that is in my vincinity. I cannot produce smoke, just manipulate it. Whether it be from a cigarette, from a fiery arson case, from one of those as the kids say 420 blaze it drugs or whatever. Smoke is smoke, if its near me. I control it. So all in all... not a really combat type of quirk. More something akin to stealth or covering up sort of stuff. At least in the way I mostly used it" he explained simply.
God now he really just wanted to smoke and drink coffee. He looked at her and asked "Do you smoke?" he might as well try and be more civil with her. Nothing beats a good smoke and coffee. They can do that. Or just coffee if shes another non smoker. Still, she doesnt know whats she missing
Giovanni now looked at Narcissa and wondered what she would say or do or instruct him to do. What would their first gym training task be and would she participate as well? Well... he hoped she would

She couldn't help but chuckle because he made a complaining noise and said something about sweat and it was just funny. She bit her lip, "You still got me confused about why you want to do that but I will ask no further questions right now." He would have to work out and so would she if she wanted to get better and all that jazz. She needed to be prepared for whatsoever. "Fine, you have found a trainer in me." She smiled, it was a funny thing to consider and she was sure it was that they would be fine, it would be okay between them, as long as she wouldn't ask him silly questions.
She would have a little more of a playful attitude, cocking her hips to a side, putting one hand on it and looking at him when he explained. She shrugged when he offered a demonstration and she wouldn't find trying so she let him show her and she would just watch. She nodded and walked to the window to open it, just a little bit, so it was enough for that smoke to meet the lower winds and not get the sprinkler system on. She would turn around again and nod, so everything, pretty useful. "Sometimes." She said coolly when he asked if she would smoke, she did but wasn't like your general smoker who needed more per day to get their fill, she just did on parties, or whenever she liked it. "So you just make people inhale or surround them nd they feel weird and that works?" She wanted to see how the control work, but maybe the most important part was to get him ready to be stronger. "If we start, we would need to start at the bottom, we should start with a warming up. Make the body stronger, be stronger physically and you would be able to handle it better mentally."

Narcissa asked if he can make people inhale or surround them and they feel weird. Giovanni shrugged "If by feeling weird you mean suffocating or damaging them, then si" he answered calmly.. He did notice that Narcissa seemed to relax. She had a bit of a more playful like attitude. Honestly that made him calm as well
He listened to her, saying that if they start they would need to start at the bottom, with something like warming up to make the body stronger physically. Well, he was right, there was gonna be sweating involved. He turned off the cigarette so he could focus on the actual training of the body.
Giovanni asked her "Okay, then how do you propose we start? What counts as a warm up training regime?" He was a little bit nervous about doing grunt work. Push ups? Sit ups? Erm... what else does exist? Crouching? Jogging? Running? Well, he was sure thats all it was. No wait, lifting weights exists to. That must be it? So where do they start and what counts as the easiest? He looked at her as he awaited her answer and surprisingly enough guidance as well. He hated doing this. The very thought of working out as if he is a lowly grunt is disguisting to him. But for Nimue, he was willing to make that sacrifice. She got kidnapped and hurt. She was still hurting while he was helpless. The heroes arrived to help. He didnt get to do anything but carry her away to safety. But he knew that wasnt always going to be a case. There may come a time he has to defend her for a change. There may come a time when his quirk and skills were needed. Nuts to the fact that she was a hero. He didnt care if she was a hero fighting on the wrong side of the law. He just cared about her and being useful enough to keep her safe and protect her |

She nodded, just so she knew not to make any enemies with him unless she had like a gas mask of some sorts. She was just considering what to do and how to start, she would just be curious about this. She actually wanted to know why he was suddenly doing this, what changed? She wasn't entirely sure if she actually wanted to know, some answer definitely gives her some nasty thoughts, like of blood and hurting and she did not want that. Sometimes it was surprising how one big fall could change her so much. But she put her hands on her hips, stopped closing off and tried to have an actual decent conversation. This was all the things she could use, for her own safety and own favours, of course, she wasn't going to sell this unless for a very good price and those were probably very rare. So when he gave her all the information, she would give some back in return, saying they should start at the bottom, meaning a warming up and training his body. If he physically could handle his quirk better, it might grow in strength. She tried to remember how she started but they both had different types of quirk, she was a transformation quirk and he was an emitter.
She thought for a second when he asked how they would start, they could go running around, stretching first probably but also do sit-ups... he did not like sweat, well she hoped for him he brought spare clothing because he might have to shower here. She wasn't going to go soft on him, if this was for his girlfriend or his mafia business or whatever, it wouldn't be by the lack of her teaching that he might fail. "First we stretch." She showed how she stretched her legs by moving one foot in front of the other and stretching her calves and shin. She switched, then moved on to her arms and so on, it would work out fine and when that was done she told him to go run from one side of the room to the other, touching every line on the ground they could find, she would follow him to do so as well. She had no idea how she would train his quirk exactly but like she thought before, physically he needed to be improved too. It was interesting to see him and she would have all ears for his complaints, but not give in.

When he asked how do they start their training. Like what counts as a warming up regime, Narcissa had answered him that first they stretch. And so she began to show him a demonstration as she stretched her legs by moving one foot in front of the other and stretching her calves and shin. Giovanni carefully watched her as she demonstrated. He watched her pose. But lucky for her he wasnt Antonio, because Antonio would surely watch something else. But back to the demonstration itself, Narissa switched, then moved on to her arms and so on and so forth. So once that was done she told him to go run from one side of the room to the other, touching every line on the ground they could find. She also would follow him to do so as well.
Well since she told him what to do and even showed him. He would do it. Obviously he was nervous at first as he wasnt sure if he was doing it right. But Giovanni imagined as long as he was getting tired, he was doing it right. Funny enough, Giovanni wouldnt complain much as he pretty much signed up for this. So any pain, agony and whinning, its on him. Normally he would complain, but seeing this was his idea and that HE called Narcissa, he didnt feel it quite right to complain. Plus he didnt really know her enough to be all chum chum and buddy buddy with her. He cant be all casual with her yet. Thus for now, he did the excercise to the best of his abilities. But since he wasnt the gym type, he would tire out rather easily with the training. He wouldnt show it, but indeed he would. Nevertheless Giovanni would try to be persistent and train with Narcissa

And then they started, first the warming up by stretching their limbs, muscles and such. Moving their body so it wouldn't complain too much and become too stiff and sore later on. Or well at least for one of them that was. She didn't know how to hold a proper conversation with Giovanni, they never did really talk beyond what was necessary for him, which was his girlfriend. He still owed her a very big debt that they did not talk about because they did not know what it would be, it depended on Saturn asking Narcissa to pay her debt and God knows what that was. While moving through the room and touching every line on the ground, she did wonder about another conversation she had, where she yelled at Antonio and he yelled back at her. Huh, that was not something she remembered before, he never got mad at her when she told him no. He never got mad at her for her drunk act either. "You were trained by Antonio?" Trained for as far as he would allow it and could allow it? She wasn't sure if the word training was the right word but she got it, she remembered very well how he raised him, walked, talked, and so on. Watched him go to school, get expelled and start smoking. How she had no idea about the essence of that message before, but now that she knew Giovanni's quirk it started to make sense.
When they finished the warming up she let him do sit-ups, she would offer help by holding down his ankles so he would easily move up instead of struggling with keeping his feet on the ground. She wanted to know this man, but mostly she wanted to know about his right hand, what could she ask about Antonio without being too obvious. She realized as she tried to not look at Giovanni, and play the record of what Antonio told her that day in the park that he basically confessed to her there. How long would he allow her to dance around him, out of his reach and in his reach without destroying her? One day, perhaps, maybe that was the day she was waiting on. "Does he, no wait, I shouldn't ask all these questions. How is business going?" The last question now seemed to be vaguer so easily to discard and something, it might be for the best to act it out that way, it was all she could do after all.

As they trained, Narcissa asked a rather unexpected question that made him raise an eyebrow. "I am not sure if training is the right word. Taught is maybe more accurate... but that is more gun stuff. The one time he did try to train me... It involved the fiesta of San Fermin... or as you mght more commonly know it... The festival is known for the.... running of the bulls. And you can die there and be gored to death by a bull or rather 6 to 10 bulls. OR you can be suffocated in a pile up. I got so so mad at him." Giovanni said as he recalled the one time Antonio wanted to really physically train him. But in a way it also reveals to Narcissa why Giovanni was a damn good runner and well it reveals to her that Antonio can be a bit extreme with his training regiment.
Once this unlikely duo finished warming up, she let him do sit ups, which he hated a lot. Narcissa helped him by holding down his ankles so he would move up instead of struggling with keeping his feet on the ground. He struggled with this as he was not good at all with this. He did sit ups slowly and barely. He focused on his task, but he had no steam to do this. While it was a breeze to heroes or atheltic people. This was a serious challenge to him to even do like 10, he started struggling at like 4.... oor 3. As he did that, he heard Narcissa ask something or attempt to ask before she cut herself off.
"Business....." does a push up "... is...." he does another push up "... fine" does a push up and falls on his back tired. He tried to struggle at least one more push up. He lost count what this was. Not because it was a big number, but because it was a small number. Did he reach double digits?
