"Hurry up, kid," Marcia barks over her shoulder as she jumps from one close roof top to the next. She was going to run Jack through his paces tonight. She was decked out in black leather from head to toe. The only thing that really stood out was the bright yellow lightning bolt that ran across her chest and the bright yellow mask that hid part of her face.

It was simple but it worked for her. She just wished it wasn't so warm out tonight. Still she had promised the kid they would patrol so this is how they were gonna do it.

"Try and keep up," she crows before diving off of the side of a building and launching herself using the force from a bolt of well placed electricity to send herself soaring though the air. All she had to do was reach and pull herself up onto the next ledge and she started running for the next launch point.

	Guardian followed along, leaping from roof to ledge to fire escape like he was born to do it. He's keeping a close eye on her however, watching for any signs of fatigue or near misses, ready to catch her. "So how long has it been since you did this?" He keeps stride with her easily.

"This," she asks then shrugs as she climbs up onto a higher vantage point. She seems to be doing fine for now. Sparks though seem to keep dancing just above the surface of her uniform.

"A month. I needed to take a break. I could do this all the time but other areas in my life suffer if I do. The deaf community needs an advocate. You can do all kinds of things to help people, Guardian. This is just one part."

	"Well duh... I know that. But no-one else can do what I can do." He says unwittingly, as he clings to a wall and scurries up it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Have you seen Spider-Man?" She pauses then shakes her head. "Never mind. He hasn't been active in years. But others could do what you did, kid. To one degree or another." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No! But people keep talking about him whenever I show up!" Guardian blurts out. "It's very confusing." He shrugs as he perches on a ledge, waiting for the next move. "I know others fight crime, but that's just how it's supposed to be if you have powers like this. Those who can, do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Look some news clips on my computer latter on. You'll get it," Marcia advises him.

Then she nods in understanding. "I get it Guardian. I really do. You gotta do something when you know you can. Now.... Lets go fight crime, Kid."

And she is off again leaping and launching herself like a bolt of energy. She lights up the area briefly with bright yellow-white light that comes from her powers.

	As the pace increases, Guardian starts web-lining his way along smoothly, on the lookout for any trouble. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She spots some trouble just up ahead. She lands on the edge of a building and waves him over. She motions to a young couple getting harassed by a group of thugs.

"This, my young friend. Is a test. Deal with the thugs. Get the people out of there safely. I want to see how you deal with it," Marcia says calmly. Only she sounds more and more like her superhero handle, Sparks.

Guardian is off like a bat out of hell, practically before Sparks is even done talking.

"Oh my gosh! Is that Obama?"

As the thugs turn, either towards the voice or where they think it's talking about, he's on them. A web-line grabs one of them and smacks him into another like a flail. As Guardian approaches the ground, he plants both feet into another thug.

"Don't worry folks. Just picking up some overtime. Please stand by and be ready to fill out your customer evaluation forms."

She rolls her eyes but watches. The kid has skills.

He also has a sense of humor. She smirks then winces when one thug using a chain like a flail swings it at the Guardian's back. She hopes Jack picks up on that because there's nothing she can do, it would do more harm than good to get involved.

She watches as the young couple starts to retreat and is prepared to cover them.

	He may look like Spider-Man, but he's not so fortunate as to have that precognitive danger sense. Not that his reflexes are anything sloppy though. His body seems to shift almost unnaturally at the first impact of the chain, only taking one solid part of a hit. He spins, swinging his opposite arm around to bash the thug in the back of the head.

	She winces at the sight. Then finds herself grow very weary when she sees a gun getting pulled. Not even thinking she jumps the gun wielding thug and narrowly avoids getting shot and elbows the man in the face taking him out. The chain carrying thug stumbles forward. He is not out quite yet. He does snarl though and tries to bash Guardian with the chains again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This time Guardian sees it coming, and with Sparks handling the one with the gun, has time to deal with it. He shoots a web into the attacker's face, catching the chain as his swing goes wild. He then picks him up and throws him into the wall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The one with the chain goes down with a pain filled moan. Sparks has the one with the gun out and everything looks clear. She glances around the alley way and nods. "Get them secured. The police will be by to see what's going on soon enough. After you get them secure we move out," Sparks says in a clipped but not unkind tone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Guardian is already securing the thugs with more webbing. "Do I need to wait around and actually talk to the cops, or did you mean securing them before that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	needsmorecoffee 2010-04-16 12:10 am UTC (link)
	"No waiting for the cops. You secure them for the cops," Sparks tells him quickly. God she didn't want to screw this up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Guardian nods and secures them, hanging them from a lamp-post. "Spread the word, lowlifes. This neighborhood's under Guardian protection." He takes off back towards the rooftops. (Reply to this)(Parent)
