Another arrow clipped the side of the target and joined the scatter that had either gone too high, too low, or just awry. Frustrated, she strung another arrow, this one falling too short, landing below the outer rings of the target. Arrows pierced the outer rings just about everywhere except where she was aiming. Samus Aran was not going to be winning any archery competitions.

Frustrated, she audibly let out a half-sigh-half-grunt. It's a bit more dramatic that she normally would be, only because she thought she was alone in the gymnasium. She moved closer to the target; perhaps it would be better to start slowly (a foreign concept for this teenager). However, when she was ready to shoot, her arrow fell diagonally off her finger and was launched into the ground where it split apart.

That set her off, and she chucked her bow away from her with surprising strength. Amusingly enough (though not to Samus who was much to frustrated to find hilarity in this situation), the bow whizzed through the air and made contact with the target, tipping it over and sending it skidding back several feet on the floor.

Exasperated, she yelled to no one in particular "Why can't I just have my suit?!"

Pepper's having worse luck than Samus. The target she's using is clear of shots... In fact the knives she's trying to throw... Are nicely scattered on the ground having skidded there.

"This is so stupid! I swear these knives are defective." And have a Pepper rant about how she'd rather be working on reports because Tony opened his big mouth assigning more homework to the rest of the class again.

Samus, who would have likely continued her rant, had her frustration ebb as Pepper ranted. Actually, Samus was able to cool down in the time Pepper was talking, mostly because she was confused at what the girl was going on about.

She added (astutely), "I don't think knives can be defective."

"Well I can't be throwing them wrong. I'm doing exactly what the instructor said." She holds up the blade to show, and her grip on it... Well at least she wont cut herself.

Samus shrugged in response and said rather bluntly, "Maybe you're just not very good at it."

Not that she had any room to talk.

"Not like I ever expected to do this." Pepper pouted a moment. "Tony's usually the one who gets to fight things... I just stay out of the way." And yes she realizes how pathetic that sounds. "Maybe I should work on hand to hand stuff more too..."
