It's a family trait, I guess.

[but he's going to follow him easily.]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[Ta daa, they're in the training courtyard now. Soft grass and spring breezes - no need for the thick winter layers anymore.

Nero shrugs off his avante coat onto a training dummy]

Y'know, I challenged my dad to hand-to-hand the other day.

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[mind_blown]

And how'd that go?

[he's not tossing his jacket aside, though. for some reason.

who knows.]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

He can't break out of a grapple for shit.

Apparently 'demons don't wrestle'.

[not knowing how to get out of a body lock + fighting with Nero = you can imagine how that went]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[mind_blown]

Wow. So you kicked his ass.

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

It was pretty satisfying.

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[mind_blown]

Glad your dad's making the effort, then. For all the bullshit.

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

He is. Honestly, he's been doing his best.

The dad jokes are still godawful though.

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[mind_blown]

And a universal constant, probably.

Anyway... enough about your dad.

[he seems to be relatively relaxed, though he swings his arms a bit to loosen up]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Nero does the same, giving his neck and shoulder joints a quick stretch before readying himself in a loose stance - weight shifting from one foot to the next, eyeing Jason up.]

Seems kinda unfair if I got this nifty arm. 'Less you've got more tricks up your sleeve...?

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[mind_blown]

I got a couple. Thought I'd get back into practice without powers.

Probably was too over-reliant on 'em anyway.

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

Going back to your bowling ball roots?

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[mind_blown]

Something like that, yeah.

Don't get too intimidated.

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

I'm feeling something...

[Rather than elaborate on how goddamn sexy vigilantism was, he opts to rush in with a jab with his left - to distract from his grappling hook trying to latch onto Jason's arm.]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[mind_blown]

[Jason leans back, but when he feels the hook latch onto his arm, he lets the tension act as a balance to complete the flip, kicking the heel of his boot straight up toward's Nero's face, and landing a couple of feet away, his hand gripping the wire for the moment, before he lunges forward to tackle him]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Nero swerves his head to the side just fast enough to avoid Jason's boot smashing into the bottom of his jaw, but it still grazes the side of his face.

Giving a hard yank on the cable wrapped around Jason's arm, Nero pulls his balance slightly off when he comes in for a tackle and heaps himself onto Jason instead, smacking him flat onto the ground with his full weight.]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[mind_blown]

[he catches his forearm against the ground, and immediately pushes back to right himself, twisting as he pulls the cable and pushes up.

and then immediately launching into a punch once there's enough space for him to move, his hand still gripped tightly onto the cable]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

[As usual, Nero's legs are wrapping around Jason's waist and trying to throw him off, but when he gets his face punched right into the ground, he changes tacks - grabbing Jason by the shoulders and

just headbutts him.

Bet you wish you had your helmet now]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[mind_blown]

[yeah

kind of

ah well, he's bleeding, what else is new

and maybe seeing double, who knows, but somehow, that isn't stopping him from standing up because




really he's very strong]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

[But maybe he's dazed enough that Nero can wrench Jason underneath him and flip their positions. Retract his grappling hook, too.

Rather than paying Jason back for the punch to the face though, he aims a punch for his solar plexus, just to keep him out of commission for a little longer.]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[mind_blown]

[well


he's going to hit body armor, and give Jason a chance to grab his shirt and pull him in to steal a kiss

before he tosses him off him]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Ducks into a roll before coming up into a crouch]

Wow, CHEATER?!

[Is that about the armour or the kiss

yes]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[mind_blown]

I said I wasn't using powers.

Didn't say you didn't have to.

[and wow, he's up, and ducking low to try and sweep his leg beneath Nero and knock him off balance]

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

[He's going to bounce back and lunge at Jason, grabbing him again to take a summoned knife to his jacket. Guess he's gonna have to shear this man of his gear before he can get anywhere.]

You asked for it--!

Re: Day 312 MISTLETOE

[mind_blown]

[hey remember the knife breaking dagger you gave him

cause he is pulling that out of a hidden compartment, exclusively to stop that knife. and he's just gonna wink at him]

I did, didn't I?
