Kung Fu Fighting
CHARACTERS: John Blake (oversight) and Selina "Cat" Kyle (testis)
LOCATION: Some Workout Area
WARNINGS: General sparring. Nothing too traumatizing.
SUMMARY: Blake takes time to do some training... with Selina. Apparently.
[ It's not as common for Blake to do any serious training in the afternoon. During the day he typically keeps it to running or tussling with the heavy bag — nothing too impressive, nothing too out of the ordinary — but for some reason or another, John feels like changing it up.
For lack of a better option, he's practicing with a bo staff. He doesn't have a decent set of workout clothes (but he'd trade off most of his possessions if it meant he could have that) so he's stuck with his most worn jumpsuit, which does him few favors and mostly just impedes his movement. But it feels good to move, feels good to practice motions he hasn't had the chance to utilize in a what now amounts to years.
He lands a couple successive blows to the heavy bag, and smoothly ends the motion with a spin kick. It's sloppy, but serviceable, and considering how latent those skills have been, he's not entirely disappointed. Or, at least, he wouldn't be entirely disappointed if he didn't get the distinct impression he's not alone.
Come on, can't you warn a guy, Selina? He would have tried at least 10% harder if he'd known she was there before now. ]
