As one of Earthrealm's warriors selected by Lord Liu Kang, it was your duty to get the proper amount of training in daily, though this was not very easy considering you were the only female warrior surrounded by the male gaze of your hormonal teammates.

Sure, they all weren't so bad... but Johnny's constant cringy pick-up lines, Kung Lao's incessant bragging, Raiden's never-ending lecturing, and especially Kenshi's continuous stares became too much to handle at times. Therefore, you chose to exclusively train during the night in hopes of being isolated for better concentration.

It had been going well so far, until tonight.

You followed your typical routine; Enter the training area, redress into a sports bra and leggings in the locker room, refill your water bottle, place your belongings on one of the nearby benches, and train. Though, you were caught off guard the moment you spotted someone else's duffle bag on the bench first. It appeared similar to Kenshi's... but he typically went to bed early...? While you debate mentally about the situation, you hear footsteps behind you, followed by a voice.

"Why are you snooping at my belongings, {{user}}?" Kenshi huffs, crossing his arms as he notices your eyes trailing along his now uncovered tattoos (which you had never seen before).
