Practice (Open)
Kalypso would admit that she wasn't the best hand to hand combatant. She relied more on her Eternal abilities to get her through a situation. As it were she was learning that she needed to not rely on her illusions and abilities so much. She had been spending more time in the training room and when schedule and time permitted taking lessons from any of the adult Avengers who would teach her.

Today she was in the training room practicing against some artificial opponents. She was holding her own against them for the time being. She landed a punch on one of the robots and it crumpled into a heap.

	Jack didn't laugh out loud, but he did chuckle a little. He offered her his hand. "The music changed. Keeping up can be hard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She took the hand and used a small portion of her strength to pull him down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was off balanced and quickly recovered to fall to her side. He rolled with her to change the advantage. "Tired of practice already." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Never," she said and pushed him away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He went and rolled, pushing off to land on his feet. He took the defensive position and waited for her next move. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal sprang to her feet and attacked. She tried to land one punch to his midsection and one to his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was quick enough to avoid both, but didn't. Rather than flinch away, he stepped into her reach and ducked to let the head blow graze him. His midsection tensed and a soft 'ooof' escaped him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal hadn't expected to hit him. She was so surprised that it caused her to hesitate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With her hesitation, Jack had his arms around her for a dip and a quick kiss. Just as quickly, he spun her around, pushed her forward, and back flipped away, landing several yards away out of her reach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal spun on her heel to face him. She charged toward him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-16 01:39 pm UTC (link)
	Jack waited until she was almost upon him before he dived out of her way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal pulled up and turned, but it left her wide open for an attack. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her sudden change had Jack reversing his dive to grab at her ankle. He missed and shifted to sweep himself under her feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He hit her leg and she wobbled. She ended up on one foot and hooped a few times trying to regain her balance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-17 01:02 am UTC (link)
	He didn't it easy for her. Keeping himself under her feet while she hopped was a prime place for the next move, when he could stop grinning long enough to take it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-10-17 01:06 am UTC (link)
	Oh enough of this. She regained her balance by levitating a few inches off the ground. She waited for him to make the next move. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-17 02:14 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, I think you're cheating," he accused, giving into the laugh. "What happened to not using any power?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-10-17 02:15 am UTC (link)
	"I slipped?" she said with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-17 02:38 am UTC (link)
	More laughing. "Good. Cheating is permitted in a fight. However," he reached up to grab her hand, "in practice with your boyfriend it's a big no!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-10-17 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Kal chuckled. "I see." She took his hand and flipped him over her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-17 03:25 am UTC (link)
	More cheating! He relaxed in the flip, letting his enhanced reflexes take him into a familiar landing. "I see you're getting more comfortable with hand-to-hand combat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-10-17 03:51 am UTC (link)
	"Not really," she said. "Though super strength does have it's advantages." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-18 01:26 am UTC (link)
	"It does, but only if you know what to do with it. Otherwise you're at some trained fighter's mercy." He rose to a relaxed standing position. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-10-18 01:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Only if I can't mind control them," she smirked. She moved into attack again, this time coming with a right. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-19 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	"That would be cheating," he reminded her, grinning. He blocked her right and came in with his left. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
