A few months ago...
New York wasn't all that far to go for something like this. A shipment of some new lightweight and durable insulating material had come in to a warehouse in NY, of course there was some other new tech that had his interest but the material was the main aim. It might be good for improvements to the suit.
 
With a yellow flash he teleported outside the warehouse, spent a bit of time silently flying about (the suit had been upgraded to have less constantly glowing power aspects and streaks when it came to flight) as recon before going for that teleport inside. Good, no real security, theses people relied on their locks to do the job. Which might've kept him out if not for the suit's powers.

At least he hasn't raised his voice much yet.

"Then what do you call it? Charity? A pity loan? Look, thanks for the offer and all but that's not going to be a solution and you know it too."

"I'm trying to be a friend," she snapped back. There was a definite raising of her voice.

"People are only around for you when it suits them, I'm not putting myself in that position," he retorted.

"What do you think I am? Your sister?" Potshot, yes. He was getting really frustrating and her temper was rising.

"If you just asked, I'd be there for you anytime."

"Yeah? That so? I've got one guy I can rely on to be there and even he's fucked things over and left. So as far as I'm concerned, no matter how well meaning, not going to expect anyone else to do better." This was getting on his nerves, and hitting sore spots. Man, better that he hadn't run into her here.

"Oh really?"

She stepped forward, getting into his personal space.

"Has he really been the for you? Coaxing you into being a criminal isn't being there for you; it's ruining your life. If anything, all he's ever done is made sure that you're there for him. He even killed your father, and still has you wrapped so tightly around his pinky that I'm surprised you still have a spine."

"Yes he has," Jerry pretty much growled back. He should move back, at this distance she had the advantage, he was a long range fighter in this suit and street brawling and being bigger meant nothing against someone of her skill. But he's too pissed off to, she'd hit all the buttons, and now his voice raises.

"Terry's been there from day one, more than pop or anyone else has! If anyone's to blame it's pop himself, none of that shit or Terry being Bolt would've happened if not for that idiot. No, he didn't deserve to die that way, but he was never a fucking father." He could feel his grip tighten on the nearest crate, his anger getting the better of him. "So yes he has fucking been there. We've got each other and that's it. I'm not a traitor and I'm not going to be abandoning him."

"He abandoned you, Jerry! Over and over!" she shouted. "And it will be too soon when he drags you into a mess you can't sort out for him!"

"Then I try anyway! Because he's my brother and that's what you do!"

"That's not what you do, Jerry! All you do is let him control you! You're his bitch, Jerry! If you really want to help him, and yourself, you need to send him back to jail and let his atone for his crimes! Committing more crimes just for him is not helping anybody! Try living your life without the bad influence and it will get better!"

"There's no guarantee of anything! Besides, I'm not throwing my own fucking brother in jail! If I did that I'd be no better than the scum who betrayed him before!" He could feel the rage building, because if there was one thing he'd never ever do it was betray Terry. Not for the world.

Her hand whizzed through the air, with a righteous slap aimed to leave quite the mark of Jerry's face.

But she stopped yelling. Nala was using her chi to help calm herself down and suppress her animal instincts.

"Do you honestly think he'd come for you if you were locked away?"

He doesn't even move out of the way for it, just stands there and takes it. Not that he could've moved in time anyway, that woman slapped like nobody else and it was felt. Jerry stood there fuming, had this been anyone else he'd be able to grab a wrist or something after but you didn't do that to a martial arts master.

"Yes. I know he would." There's a sort of conviction in his voice that says this is not a negotiable thing. Terry would come for him. He knew it. Terry that had pretty much raised him. Terry that had bailed him out after particularly bad brawls each time. Hell, Terry that had refused to abandon his Terror Titan team to their fate when he could've teleported himself to safety.

"Terry would come without hesitation just like I'd do for him."

She honestly just didn't understand it. She tried to picture herself in Jerry's position, but she couldn't conceive anyone related to her being a villain. And she couldn't grasp the bond that Jerry had with his brother. This was probably something Sin would have been better dealing with, and she didn't even know Jerry.

"Whatever, Jerry," Nala said. She was totally resigned from this conversation at this point.

"Do what you want. Not getting in your way seems to be the only help you'll ever accept."

"Thank you," he hissed back and in a flash of light teleported off with the last stack he'd been keeping a grip on.

Successful night or not, that had pushed all his buttons and riled him up too much. This wasn't exactly the best night in his book.
