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.

	More laughing. "Good. Cheating is permitted in a fight. However," he reached up to grab her hand, "in practice with your boyfriend it's a big no!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal chuckled. "I see." She took his hand and flipped him over her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	More cheating! He relaxed in the flip, letting his enhanced reflexes take him into a familiar landing. "I see you're getting more comfortable with hand-to-hand combat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not really," she said. "Though super strength does have it's advantages." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It does, but only if you know what to do with it. Otherwise you're at some trained fighter's mercy." He rose to a relaxed standing position. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Only if I can't mind control them," she smirked. She moved into attack again, this time coming with a right. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	notinplainsight 2011-10-21 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	"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)

	notinplainsight 2011-10-21 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	Kal grinned. "I didn't use my powers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-22 12:30 am UTC (link)
	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)

	notinplainsight 2011-10-22 01:04 am UTC (link)
	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)

	jackmurdock 2011-10-22 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	More cheating! Jack reached up to grab and pull her down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal grabbed his hand and pulled him up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He couldn't resist her greater strength and up he went. "Think you got me?" he asked (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
