Academy of Heroes and Villains

While Connor is speaking, Anthony casually moves his hand down to his pants pocket. "That's good advice, Mr. Stark. I'll be sure to remember that." And with that, his hand moves toward Connor's neck in a flash. After the hypodermic needle, held in Anthony's hand, was expertly placed in the side of Connor's neck, Anthony presses the plunger, releasing a small amount of Ben's venom into Connor's bloodstream. As paralysis sets in, Anthony slides from underneath Connor and says, "Remember your promise, no hard feelings. Also, don't worry about the fact that you can't move your limbs. The amount was so small that the effects will only last a few minutes." Anthony draws on the strength training that John had been giving him, and hoists Connor onto his shoulder. After depositing Connor at a desk in the classroom, Anthony fetches his clothes and gets dressed once again. He then returns to his seat next to Sue, keeping the deep satisfaction he felt hidden behind a mask of nonchalance.

Anthony groans and falls backward, subtly tripping Connor and causing him to fall too. "Well done, Mr. Stark. It's obvious you're the better fighter, but before I surrender, promise me something. No hard feelings?"

"He's moving to fast for me to block all of his blows. Time to switch tactics." Anthony sighs, keeping the calm, quiet voice he had used earlier, and says, "Look Connor, we both know why you agreed to fight me, sans suit. You wanted to prove to Kijani that you're capable of defending both her and yourself, even without your technology. You wanted to prove that you're a man, so do it. Take me down and I'll forfeit. Of course, you'll have to wait for me to loudly say I give up before you get off of me, or people will think you were too scared to continue the fight. We both walk away relatively unharmed, and you impress your woman. Everyone wins."

Anthony grunts as Connor lands yet another hit, but he keeps his head clear, knowing anger will make him reckless. When Connor tries to knee Anthony, Anthony moves slightly out of the way, but staying close since Connor had a hold of him. He loops his right arm underneath Connor's left leg and leans forward, causing them to both fall on the ground, with Connor on the bottom. The jolt gives Anthony to break free, after which he immediately stands and backs away, keeping an eye on Connor the whole time.

Anthony knocks the first punch away, but isn't fast enough to divert the blow to his shoulder. He quickly takes a deep breath to focus himself, then almost instantly throws a jab with his left hand at Connor's lower right ribs.

(More specific, please. Where is he aiming the punches?)

Anthony speaks quietly so Connor would be able to hear him, but not the class, "Mr. Stark, let's agree to no face or crotch shots. Deal?" As he speaks, begins to walk in circles around Connor, slowly moving closer. "After all," he continues, "we both have women in our life that we care about, so why should we risk disfiguring ourselves."

When Connor begins to rush toward him, Anthony steps diagonally forward and to the right, then shoots his left arm out, trying to clothesline Connor. While he sticks out his arm, he also begins spinning his right leg around, hoping the combination of his arm in the front and his leg in the back would knock Connor down.

Anthony stands as still as a statue, the only visible motion being that of his eyes as he sizes Connor up. Abruptly, he bows then backs away while saying, "Begin."

(Kind of random, what is Connor wearing?)

Once Connor had entered the room, Anthony shuts the door behind him. Anthony sheds all clothing except for undershirt and pants, then hangs his clothing on the doorknob. He walks to the center of the room, a frown on his face while he remarks, "Perhaps I should have dressed slightly more casual than usual today."
