[when did he call a sword-- but Jason will immediately polarize himself and Nero, knowing it'll slow nero down and speed him up, but as long as he can see his swords--
because at some point he's polarizing the sword to the building in the opposite direction, and waiting to see if Nero will slam face first into a building]
[Nero can feel the trajectory change as it happens - warps were always in a straight line, it was a pretty instant tell - but considering the sheer speed of the warp, he reaches the hilt of the sword just before it can clatter against the side of the building. Once he grabs the blade, his momentum cushions to let him make a seamless, Stylish superhero landing on the building - at 90 degrees, of course.]
You utter dick...!
[He's smirking though. A stunt like that, Jason was pretty much asking for a fight before they even reached the gym.]
[he thought he'd try. and he shrugs with a non-chalant smirk. and then takes off, using his new hookshot + polarization combo to make those moves faster. it's
Well, if he's polarizing to speed himself up, he can't interfere with Nero summoning a rainstorm of swords, falling around Jason and where his grappling gun's hooked onto the building. With so many targets, it's impossible to tell exactly which one Nero is warping to.
But the one he's aiming for is ahead of Jason. So he can land on the hook's cable mid-swing, and cut the line.]
Nero's not gonna let Jason just whip past him, though. He's still standing on the line as it gets fixed, so he's running down the length to tackle Jason out of the air, just as his feet get magnetically pulled to the ground.
Clinging tight onto Jason, Nero summons a sword embedded in the ground right below them - and warps down to it.
Even with polarize giving him the added speed, the warp cushions him perfectly. Which can't be said of the fuckboy he's holding onto, who's going to be feeling the full momentum of slamming into cement at top speed.]
[well, y'know, there's no hysmine to cushion that, and you know what? he's just going to recover by reverse polarizing him and Nero, slamming nero away from him, and then rolling back to his feet, unsteady.]
Gonna have-- to get someone to check that one.
[he sounds unsteady.
ah well, not the first concussion he's had, just gotta keep moving.
slower, and fumbling with the hookshot this time, but y'know.
he wouldn't have been in his line of work if he couldn't take a punch]
[Nero pulls the sword out of the ground as he's repelled backwards-- if he couldn't get close to Jason right now, then he's just gonna throw the blade at him. To force Jason to break his concentration in order to repel or melt or dodge instead.]
[as soon as the sword looks like it's about to hit him, it melts uselessly to the side-- there's only a small scratch from the initial impact, but y'know.]
I thought we were gonna go to the gym, but we layin' blows right now? 'Cause if so...
[he's going to polarize his metal fist to his face]
Nero realizes what's happening a split second too late - his fist hits him square in the jaw. There's no follow-through to make it a real haymaker, but it still hurts all the same - ESPECIALLY IN HIS HEART, FROM BEING BETRAYED BY HIS OWN LIMB.
[Nero tries to block the punch with the hand already very glued to his face, but mostly just manages to turn his nose into the trajectory of Jason's fist. There's a hearty crunch, but since polarization was released in that exact instant, he lashes out to grab the arm before Jason can pull it back.]

You not worried, are you?
Re: 282 kissing game
[Careful about the sudden stop bruh]
Re: 282 kissing game
Neck didn't snap before. Why would that change now?
Re: 282 kissing game
[Because he's gonna ZIP AWAY NOW, BYE--]

always worth trying new things, after all.
especially with a new powerset.]

Re: 282 kissing game
he grabs it as he's polarizing past it, and quickly repairs it without even breaking his stride.
he can respect a good line cut, after all. but now he's got the capability to fix it.
and keep moving. though yeah, that slowed him down just a bit.
but also, maybe he'll look for the best opportunity to polarize Nero's boot's to the ground.]

If he's going down, you're coming too]
Re: 282 kissing game
well....
guess they're both going down, which is going to hurt a little but
jason's commitment to the bit]
Ain't it a bit early for bear hugs?

ALSO NOW IT'S JUST GLUED TO HIS FACE.]
YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!
Re: 282 kissing game
and more importantly-- it means he gets to be the one to follow through, since Nero can only half defend himself.
he clocks him in the jaw, and releases the polarization as he does so]
You're the one that's tryin' to break my damn neck 'cause I used my powers.
Re: 282 kissing game
You weren't worried 'bout it before!
