[Sally sways back and forth on the balls of her heels. She's a ball of nervous energy. Not that she doesn't know a little combat but her force field makes it easy to slip away from any situation on the street instead of waiting around to fight. But she wants to learn!]

Are we using weapons or just hand to hand?

[Dani stands up after stretching her hamstrings. She smiles at Sally's energy.]

I'd like to start hand to hand, just to get a better idea of your current strengths. You ready?

[Dani watches Sally work with her force field. It has some possibility for combat.]

I'm not sure how flexible your fields are but if you can use them like gloves they might give you a little more force with your offensive. But let's see what you got first.

[With that Dani starts the spar, sending a fist toward her solar plexus.]

[Dani follows her momentum to jump around and behind Sally where she doesn't hesitate to send another blow to try and reach her diaphragm.]

What do you mean by when you're around Domino?

[Dani takes the hit to measure Sally's force. It stings a little but gives Dani an opportunity to pull on Sally's leg and tug her toward a direction.]

Wait, do you mean she holds onto your shield somehow or gets around it quickly?

[Dani's slips off the field when she tries to get a grip on it, falling farther away from Sally than she'd like.]

Dom's got talent and luck with that kind of thing.

[Dani stops to brace Sally as she topples a little.]

Okay, I want to keep going but you're missing part of the fight by reacting rather than trying to anticipate some movement.

Well, you need to push more of advantages too but that's going to take more practice than anything. I really think your shields could really help you with hand-to-hand, blocking against hits and as you plan your own offensive.

[Dani steps from side to side, working to keep muscles loose.]

Want to try another round? I'm not going to make this one easier.

[Dani watches the bricks fly.]

Impressive. Okay, so we should work on building the stamina too. [She nods.] You should break that out more in team practices.

[Dani turns to face Sally, gearing up a little more. She jumps towards Sally's right.]

[Dani takes a hit and draws back before going back in, looking to attack low.]

Sure does. Where are you studying?

[Dani catches the movement mere seconds before dodging and sends her elbow around to try and land a blow before the shield comes up.]

Try and push back with the shield. Think you can control the blast?

I used to take dance lessons when I first started studying with Professor X. They could be brutal from what I remember.

[Dani thinks she can push Sally a little harder.]

Aim's a good thing to have but I think for your power you should work on the response level. Sam got you to the blasts, the key to using them in a fight is refining them for every level of combat.

[A thought occurs to her.]

Your shield only holds back physical attacks right?

[identity profile] iownkickassguns.livejournal.com 2010-03-24 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Well I won't be bringing anything psionic now but my powers used to be able to call up objects. I'm gonna bring in a weapon.

I've seen you in action, I think it will too. We're just gonna change it up and have you use it the same time as your shield.

[calls up a staff and throws it to Sally]

It's just a little experiment. [Dani pauses.]

You have decent reactions so that means you have good sense about how your own body moves. To get you to react offensively you have to use things outside your own body, things that are a little harder to control.
