Academy of Heroes and Villains

Anthony glances at Sue with an eyebrow raised and signs, "We're having a picnic, remember? I'll bring one bottle of wine so you can try it, but do you want me to bring anything else to drink?" While waiting for an answer, Anthony grabs a bottle of Noemia Malbec wine from his wine cooler.

Ben frowns as he asks, "Is there any way to undo its effects? And how will this affect the way you interact with us?"

Ben nods as he stands up and says, "No kidding. You mentioned that this was your dad's fault. How so?"

Convinced that he wasn't going to be attacked, Ben kneels next to Estella and says with a smile, "Have you even noticed that you've been talking?"

Ben's suit fades away as he answers, "You basically told me that Estella's memories were being restricted because they weren't needed since you were now a soldier. I asked you a question, which you refused to answer. I warned you that I'd treat you as if you were a threat if you didn't prove otherwise, but you continued to defy me."

Ben gets off of Estella and slowly backs away toward the discarded branch. He asks warily, "Then why were you referring to yourself as Commander Kuinu?"

Academy of Heroes and Villains

Ben loosens his grip slightly and says, "What are you talking about? I warned you. And what do you mean your telepathy isn't working?"

Ben utilizes Estella's hesitation, leaping forward and knocking her to the ground. He uses one hand to keep her from hitting her head on the ground, and holds the blades of his other forearm against her throat. He growls, "Are you trying to trick me?"

After being knocked off the branch, Ben uses one hand to lower himself gently to the ground, then picks the branch back up. He answers, "Yes, why?" He then sprints toward Estella, throwing the leafless end of the branch at her head, then slides between her legs and stands up behind her. That way, if she dodged the branch, he could catch it midflight.

Ben bends forward, ducking under Estella's kick. While her leg is still in the air, Ben swings the branch around, striking her hard, behind her knee. Immediately after landing the strike, he puts the branch across his shoulders, drives one end into the ground, and uses it to support his weight as he spins through the air, aiming both feet at her head. If his first attack hadn't knocked her down, the second definitely would.

Ben chuckles, "Spiders are arachnids." He rolls backward up the tree, grabs a long, sturdy branch, then leaps forward, yanking it off the tree. He flies toward Estella, branch whirling above his head, then slams it at the ground near her feet, hoping to cause her to jump back.
