Training
One of the good things about being a YJLA reservist was that Hope got access to all of their training facilities. While the at-home gym that she had at her house was nicely equipped, Hope enjoyed taking advantage of the training simulators and if she could find one, having a sparring partner. Rex was always fun to spar with, but a change of pace never hurt.

Hope was dressed in a simplified version of her armor that she normally wore when she was training, as this one allowed her to move more freely, and her head wasn't covered.

Currently, she was running a training simulator, enjoying smashing some robots with both her fists and her Mega Rod.

He nods. "I complete admit that it was irresponsible. We talked and I apologized. We've decided that we still want to see each other, for as long as she's here. So far, they haven't stayed anywhere for more than a week, so its probably not long - which will be tough when she leaves for both of us, but it wouldn't be any easier or any harder if we tried to cut things off now. We probably won't be able to tell anything before then either, but I've told her that I'd do whatever I could to make things as right as possible. And we're making sure not to make the same mistakes again. Still... most of the time will be spent trying to find this Kang, so they can finish their mission and go home, and we can determine if he has anything to do with... the things going on here. I almost died the day we first met - I ran into the person with the lightning - Svalin and her friends saved us. Unfortunately, even having fought him or her, we still don't know who it was. We do now know it was magic, and at least one of his or her allies also uses chaos magic - so we have some leads."

Svalin nodded. "Aye, what Jon hath said. I care deeply for thine son and if I couldst, I wouldst stay here in this world with him. I art Svalin Sifsdottir, daughter of Thor and Sif, and a princess of Asgard. I hath a duty to mine people and that duty doth come before whate'er I want or those I love and care about."

She didn't think about how unfair it was to finally find someone she was interested in, only to know she would not be able to spend much time with him. It was not her. She accepted the path that Fate had chosen for her and she would not turn her back on her people. Putting the people of Asgard first was a princess' duty.

"We wilt find Kang, defeat him and then I wilt return home. Until then I wouldst like to spend as much time as I can with thine son."

The potential repercussions of the two's actions were not lost on Lois and she had questions. If something did come from their liason, would Jon ever know? Would he have any place in that world? The idea of being a grandmother but never being able to actually be a part of the child's life settled cold in her stomach. And Jon...so much like his father...how would he take that? And more than that, Jon had never found anyone to be close to. How would he handle losing the one person he had finally connected with? She knew how, but she didn't like it, another unneccessary sacrifice the young man would impress upon himself.

Yes, Lois had questions, but she asked none of those. Her son had become a man of his own life now and despite him carrying on his father's work she wasn't about to take away from him that responsibility of being his own man.

"I ask that the two of you do two things. The first is that you take proper precautions. You know what I mean, Jon. Second, I ask that you take every opportunity to be in each other's company. Time is fleeting, even when you have many years together."

She missed Clark so much. He should be there, in that kitchen. The absence was sharp.

"Now, as for this magic--and please don't tell me that you nearly died, Jon, I can't deal with that right now--is there any way I can help you research these leads? Let me help."

Jon nods. "We will, I promise." he agrees readily.

He considers the next question a few moments. "We have recordings, thanks to Svalin's best friend. You're better at media research than we are. I know it'd be hard to watch some of the old fights and all - but it would really help if you could go through, see if you can find anything like the lightning that got used twice in this fight. That, and see if you can help identify any of the other people in the images. We could use any lead we can get to put an end to this."

He really hates to ask that of his mother right now, and hates to suggest she watch him almost dying to the same thing that took his father - but right now, it could save other lives, and, as usual, that's what Jon puts first.

	"I wilt ask Vernique to provide them," Svalin said. "Surely there ist one who can get the images off of the sunglasses." Of course the footage would be limited or have to be edited. Svalin didn't think it would be fair to show a possible Solver to either of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lois had offered help and she meant it, even if it would be uncomfortable. She nodded. "I'll see what I can dig up. If there's information, you know I'll find it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank thee, Lady Lois," Svalin said with a polite nod of her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
