Academy of Heroes and Villains

Good night all.

Academy of Heroes and Villains

As Ben looks into Austin's eyes, a smile creeps across his face. "You don't have the guts, pussy cat," he says quietly before his hands dart up, grasping Austin's wrists. He rolls forward, causing Austin to roll backward before bringing them both to a standing position. Ben presses Austin against a wall, holding Austins wrists tightly with one hand and his neck with the other. Ben brings his face within inches of Austin's and says, "You have two choices. Give up now, or end up paralyzed for anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour. Which will it be?"

Ben grunts as he's slammed into the ground, causing him to think, "Careful now, Thanatos. Don't be getting cocky." He quickly rolls over so that he's hovering over Austin, then forecfully jams his forearm into Austin's neck. "Had enough?" He whispers.

Ben lands beside Austin and laughs, "What's wrong, buddy? Cat got tongue?"

After watching Austin carefully, Ben decides that the fight isn't over yet. Once again, he jumps toward the sky, coming to a stop by one of the large lights that dot the ceiling. He busts the glass pane with one hand and carefully extracts the four largest, knife-shaped pieces of glass. Without hesitation, he sends them flying toward Austin and, knowing they might miss, prepares to launch himself in whichever direction Austin dodges.

Ben, momentarily feeling as if he were flying, is forced back into reality as the ground rapidly approaches his face. He stretches out his arms and legs just in time to prevent himself from striking the ground. His arms then shoot out, grabbing Austin by the legs. Ben quickly stands and spins Austin in the air twice before letting go, sending the younger boy hurtling toward a wall.

John nods, but his gaze remains on the TV as he replies, "Austin has a short fuse, so he'll probably be the one that makes the fight more violent. Ben, on the other hand, held a spear to my throat the other day."

Ben doubles over in pain as Austin knees him, then cries out as his arm is torn by Austin's claws. Red eyes blazing with anger, Ben practically spits out the words, "Fine, we'll play dirty." He uses one hand to wrench his arm from Austin's grip then, still holding onto the other student's hand, Ben flips over Austin head. As he drops down behind Austin, the talons on Ben's feet extend, and he digs them into Austin's back before twisting Austin's arm hard. He then leaps backward and begins circling Austin.

Austin's fist is caught in an invisible hand. With a sigh, Ben reveals himself, saying, "I forgot about that." He begins squeezing Austin's fist harder and harder, trying to crush is as he remarks, "You don't seem to be trying very hard."

A wide grin spreads across Ben's face before his suit's cloaking ability turns on. Now nearly invisible, Ben drops back down onto the ground, then begins to walk silently around the room, deciding how to attack Austin.

(When Ben's suit's cloaking ability is on, all you can see is a very slight shimmer in the air. Sort of like when you look at the pavement of a road on a very hot day and the air looks like it's shimmering. Does that make sense?)

When Ben is eight feet away from Austin, he does a quick roll and jump, landing on Austin's outstretched feet . With one powerful thrust of his legs, Ben leaps off of Austin's feet before landing on the ceiling, hanging by host feet. He tilts his head as he asks, "Want to see something cool?"
