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.

	"That would be cheating," he reminded her, grinning. He blocked her right and came in with his left. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal tried to block the blow, but couldn't. It clipped her right next to her left eye. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack tried to pull it at the last second and failed. "Are you all right? Kal?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal put her hand on the spot he hit and bowed her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	For Jack, ack it stopped being a training fight. He hadn't intended to land a finger on her and using his fist made it all the worse. He went to put his arms around her, all apologies and guilt. "I'm so sorry. Are you all right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine," she said and elbowed him in the stomach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-21 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Oooof!" He doubled over, partly in shock, mostly in indignation that she fooled him like that. He fell flat on his back with his arms and legs stretched out. "And how many times did I say you cheated? Why don't I listen to myself more?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal grinned. "I didn't use my powers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shook his head, still staring up at the ceiling. "Very smooth, Ms. Kalypso. I'm onto your tricks now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal smiled and picked him up using telekinesis. She set him on his feet. "I've got many more tricks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It took a second to get his balance back. "I believe it. It didn't even hurt did it?" He looked carefully to see if there was a red mark. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not really," she said. She went at him again. She faked with a right and tried to hit him with a left. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-23 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	All righty then! With gloves off, so to speak, Jack took the faint and let her connect with a left. He automatically grabbed for her left wrist and stepped into her space. Turning, he bent his knees to hoist her over his shoulder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal flipped over his shoulder and landed on her feet. Her back was to him, but it didn't stop her from making a move. She kicked back and aimed for the spot behind one of his knees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-24 03:12 pm UTC (link)
	Good one! Her kick hit just the right spot and he went down, sweeping his other leg out to catch hers as he did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-10-24 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	His leg sweep caught the leg she was balancing on and she fell backward. Telekinesis prevented her from landing on her ass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-24 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	More cheating! Jack reached up to grab and pull her down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-10-24 05:12 pm UTC (link)
	Kal grabbed his hand and pulled him up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-25 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	He couldn't resist her greater strength and up he went. "Think you got me?" he asked (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-10-26 02:19 am UTC (link)
	"I do," she said as she held onto his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-27 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	"I think you do," he agreed. He tugged to bring her closer. "It's a fun dance." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-10-27 02:04 pm UTC (link)
	"It is," she agreed and then kissed him. How couldn't she with him this close? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-28 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't recommend this particular technique in an actual fight," he teased, kissing her back. "Might give the bad guys the wrong idea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I dunno. It would really put them off balance if I started kissing them. Especially if they were girls." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-30 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	He hugged her and laughed out loud. "Yes. Yes it would. But I don't think my puny human heart could take holding back the laughing at their expressions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
