Some Things Never Change
Ryan had to say this dimension almost that future place seem less crazy but that one still took the prize in his book. Still there was one thing he knew had to be the same in this verse just like in any of the others he had been too. Criminals still sometimes needed to be beaten up and Ryan did have to admit there was nothing like beating up a criminal to get your mind off things and have some fun.

After spending most of the day pouring through the history of this world which he now felt he was fairly knowledgeable about he really wanted to do that. After talking to some of the locals to the world he found out a few places that he could go to to do just that. After a little bit of looking over the suggestions he used a teleporter to head over to Keystone City. It sounded like a nice place for someone new to this dimension to go and do just that.

After arriving there he did some running along the roof to get to know the city a little more personally before he started looking around to see if there was anything he could do to help people out that evening.

Thirty Minutes Later...

Somewhere across town, Mitzi leads Ryan to a secluded rooftop overlooking downtown Keystone City.

"So, I think this will do for the purposes of our ideas." she says.

"What do I learn first? Punching, kicking or throwing small objects for maximum effect?" she asks.

"Yeah this will definitely work fine," Ryan says.

"How about how to disarm an opponent," Ryan asks.

"Yeah, that's a good idea. Maybe you could show me how to throw a good punch, too?" she asks.

"Sure, I can definitely do that," Ryan says with a smile, "Let me know if there is anything else specific you want me to teach you."

"Basic self-defense sounds good. I've never been in an actual fight, as you could probably tell." she says.

"Basic self-defense it is," Ryan says, "After this you should probably be able to win your first fight then."

Mitzi assumes, what she believes, is a fighting stance. She's leading with the left leg, and she puts up her fists much like a boxer's, also leading with the left.

"I must look really dumb right now." she says.

“No,” Ryan says, “I’ve seen muggers with much worse stances who completely thought they were going to win.”

“Here this will probably help a bit better,” Ryan says moving over to her correcting her posture and position.

“Are you right or left handed,” He asked, “and do you know what your dominant leg it?”

"I'm left-handed." she says, letting Ryan correct her.

"Maybe I'm left-legged, too?" she asks.

“OK,” Ryan says making the corrections for her hands with that in mind.

“There’s a very simple way to find out,” Ryan says behind her, “I just need you to stand up straight.”

Mitzi obeys Ryan's request, standing up as straight as she can.

Ryan kind of felt a bit bad about doing this but if he told her what he was going to do then it wouldn’t work so well.

Ryan gives her a bit of a push to unbalance Mitzi so that she would have to step out with one foot to regain it.

“The foot you just stepped out with is you dominant one.”

Mitzi catches herself herself with her left foot, trying to keep from falling on her ass in front Ryan...

and succeeding. Thank God cheerleading and gymnastics were worth /something/ after all this time.

"What does that mean for how I fight?" she asks. "Am I in trouble if I meet someone else who's left-dominant or do I win against right-dominant people automatically?" she asks.

“Being a lefty might trip up some people who are only used to fighting rights but for the most part it just effects how you position yourself and lead with in a fight,” Ryan says as he helps her get into a good fighting position.

“OK I want you to throw your best punch at me,” Ryan says.

"Okay." she says, nodding. She can do this.

She doesn't want to surprise him and actually slug him, so she does it in slow motion. Her stance is still a bit awkward, but she is trying.

Ryan catches the punch in his hand easily.

“Come on that’s not your best punch,” Ryan says, “don’t worry about hurting me I’ll be perfectly fine now show me what you really got.” He would work on the stance later.

Mitzi steels herself for this and prays that she doesn't accidentally knock Ryan out.

He throws her best right cross at his chin. Her hands are quick, but the jerking of her shoulders, head and hips telegraph the blow so well that only an amateur could miss the cue to duck, dodge or block.

Ryan dodges out of the way quickly moving his head and being careful not to let instinct take over and counter, hard.

“Not a bad start,” Ryan says, “You just need to loosen up and don’t worry about hurting me I can take it. Matched heads with a wolf demi-goddess once, though that is a really long and crazy story.”

"All right, then." Mitzi grins.

This time, she goes for a straight jab. She's seen those in boxing matches.

Ryan twisted his head out of the blow still minding himself not to counter. “You’re getting a lot better.”

She practices for quite awhile, taking Ryan's advice and tips in stride and trying to improve with each repetition. No one's really ever taken this kind of interest in Mitzi, but it feels good.

"What can I say? I've got a great teacher." she grins, leaning in to kiss him again.
