Not part of the plan.
It was a mandatory team workout session with all the trimmings. Currently, they were in Phase two, which involved matching obstacles courses for the Flashes with speed timers and little tweaks to handle each of their particular weaknesses. A sparring-grounds situation of Cat Versus Jacob -- Tess had been gradually working at this and really hoped to get Jacob a little more confident on how to deal with a potentially violent situation -- and Lee Versus Layla. She and Mark were mostly taking a breather during Phase Two so that he could explain some how various precautionary spellwork was done.

	And Jacob was doing his best not to panic. On one hand Cat was the best fighter on the team and could kick his ass. On the other hand, she had no superpowers and he could accidentally hurt her. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Mark is talking about the kind of prep work someone can do for warding against darker things. He's actually a good teacher because he's going into the kinds of magic that require belief that it can work instead of actual magical aptitude. He isn't quite ready to go back into training just yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Relax, Jacob," Cat assured him. "You ain't gonna hurt me. I know how to take a punch."

She bounced lightly on the balls of her feet. "Now, watch. I'm gonna come in with a couple of punches, first a left, then a right. What I want you to do is back up just a little, just before the punch hits you, but at the same time, you're gonna go a little to the left, when I come up punchin' with my right, you're gonna grab hold of my arm and pull. Let my own momentum take me down."

	Lee had his sword out and was standing in a ready position waiting for Layla to get ready. He currently wasn't using any fire power since he didn't know what she had in mind for this practice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As always with obstacle courses, Steven is thrilled. Succeed or fail doesn't matter so much as pushing himself against the hardest obstacles and tricks, and working out the solutions, like a quick-shifting puzzle game. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Obstacle courses were fun and could be challenging. Iris liked seeing them as a big game to be won. She laughed as she passed each obstacle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tess observes everyone else as she listens to Mark. "Good to know," she says to his information. "Belief, I've got to admit, is not going to do me personally any good, but it's good to know. But in terms of your own methods, can you show me how you'd throw out a shield over the room, so I can think more about what we might end up working within?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course." He pulls the Helm of Nabu back on. He holds out a hand preparing a spell. The light seems to not hold the same tone of golden light the others may have gotten used to and Mark visibly stumbles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The hue change doesn't escape Tess, and then he's stumbling. "Fate, you okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right," Cat said, oblivious to various Fate related issues, "I'm coming at you." She threw her first punch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He knew the punch was coming, but it still didn't stop him from instinctively flinching. He managed to get his hands up for a block, but it was more covering himself than a formal technique. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2012-11-14 12:08 am UTC (link)
	"Okay good," Cat encouraged. "Now, when I come atcha from the other end, ya grab and pull me down, okay?" She threw her other punch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wait, what? Ah!" Jacob jumps a little at the punch, growing a little in response, the punch hitting him, but not with as much damage as it would have. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine." He straightens then his posture changes. "It's the rest of you who are out of Balance. Even you Tess Holt. You should be ashamed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Distracted from her punching of Jacob, Cat's attention was focused on Mark. "Mark Clearwater, what in the Sam Hill are you doing?!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, at least Mark had been subdued for the time being. And the dad-blasted helmet was being kept far away from him. But it left them without a lot of answers. "So... we're not gettin' Jason Blood? We're gettin' his kid?" (Reply to this)(Thread)
