Can I Be More Than I Am? (Open to JSA)
Jacob's actions, or inaction as he saw it, during the incident with the Titans still ate away at him. The old fears hadn't really faded, at least not in his mind. He still felt sick to his stomach at the idea of fighting, particularly with metahumans involved.  Still, even with potentially the world at stake, what had he done? He quietly moved into the JSA's training room and eyed the equipment present. It wasn't as if he never tried to learn what it meant to be a superhero..but there was a difference between learning physical skills and learning a whole other mindset. He sat on a workout bench, wondering just what it was he was willing to do.

"Your dad ever say anything about what to do when even sparring makes you cringe in fear?" Jacob asked.

"He'd probably quote Roosevelt. 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.' Though I always enjoyed sparring with him."

"I practically spasm every time Cat tries to show some means of defending myself," Jacob admits.

"You're probably right," Jacob concedes. "It's just that whole thing that happened with the Titans really emphasized how useless I am out there. Doesn't make me any less afraid of metahumans, but it's no less true."

"You're not useless you just need to learn how to better utilize your skills."

"Well you aren't afraid of me are you," Lee asks.

"No," Jacob assures. "..I guess it's more the violence aspect."

"Then you have to find some to focus on besides that," Lee says, "I'm not as fond of violence as Layla is myself."

"I focus on why I'm doing this," Lee says, "And who I'm protecting."

Jacob thinks on that. "A good thing to focus on."

"I like to think that as well," Lee says. Protecting those who can not protect themselves was important to the knights code his dad had taught him.
