Workout (Open)
Adrienne had, despite the lack of any real Thunderbolts action since their "test", still managed to keep relatively busy.   There were always clients with jobs, though she had, in fact, been turning the majority of them down or referring them to other, capable, individuals.  Perhaps her time as a hero was turning her soft. 

But she did still take the odd job, nothing that would lead back to her teammates.  Several of them had, in fact, been legitimate enough, in that companies liked having someone capable test their security systems (and it gave her a leg up if she ever needed to break into them on her own).  And, of course, there had been a few jobs she'd done without being hired to do, corrupt individuals or businesses who preyed upon others that could stand to lose something.  Most of that money went to better causes than herself.  Like ze Robin Hood, no?

And there was Millicent, of course, out there somewhere, with those people who had attacked them.  Who had warned her to run while she could.  As if she had ever been good at doing what she was told?  She had not told the others that she had known her attacker.  She had no desire to see her friend bring the wrath of the super-powered Gendarmerie upon herself.

Today, however, she was in the gym, going through some gymnastics routines.

Manny had decided he would take this opportunity to have a workout of his own, so he hadn't expected Adrienne when he got there. He watched her go through the motions for a bit before shaking his head in amazement.

"Dios, how do you move like that?"

Jack had been busy as well, but for different reasons. He couldn't sit still. What if that creepy doctor lady who designed him had built something else too? What if it was going to replace him? He'd done a lot of talking with Dr Samson after that encounter, which seemed to be helping.

He didn't feel fully at ease like he had before, but he supposed that was part of becoming more 'human'. Dr Samson, with Dr Pym's help, had been able to get past some of the strongest layers of programming involved in his cultivation, and he didn't get the migraines anymore from going 'off script'. Of course, he'd decided it was still really fun to show off for the cameras and see if he had any fans online or similar things, but it wasn't a physical compulsion anymore.

Still, the past few weeks have seen him being rather edgy. He'd fallen back to crawling along the ceilings, rather than walking through the halls, which is how he enters the gym.

"Oh... are you guys doing something? I can come back later." He shifts around, sitting upside down rather than his crawling posture.

Adrienne took a little bow.

"Oh, bonjour Manny, Jack," she said.

She grinned. "I have simple had, how you say, a lot of training and practice."

"Pretty sure a lot of practice is universal," Manny said. "It looks familiar."

Jack considers something, carefully. "Do you... think you could teach me any of those moves?"

He's picked up certain acquired skills, of course. Like his preferred method of unwrapping an ice cream sandwich, which hand to hold a book with and which to turn pages with, that sort of thing; but he hasn't yet really thought to branch out his combat skills.

Adrienne nodded. "Much of my style is taken from Savate, ze French art of kickboxing, but a mix a little bit of other styles too. And I am quite ze gymnast... plus Parkour."

She smiled slightly for Jack. "I do not see why not. I do not know how good a teacher I am, but I could try."

"Oooh," Manny said in realization. "Si, I remember now. I wrestled a man who used that Parkour style. Very slippery guy."
