Rebecca enters the training room earlier than usual, having met with Matthew in his office already prepared to head this way.  She looks towards the middle of the room as she enters, already expecting him to be there.

This time he was shirtless and barefoot. The maximum amount of skin showing as was decent. His stone hand was absently spinning the the wedding band on his finger. "You're late." She wasn't.

She wasn't going to fail this time. "No, I'm not." She quickly takes off her gloves and slips off her shoes as before, watching to see if he's going to strike already.

There's a small frown on her face, but it's more thoughtful than angry. It's her eyes that hold a harder light. "If I let myself stay afraid of my power, I'm my own worst enemy. Useless. They've already won." There may be a bit of an echo of words she's familiar with beyond Matthew's remarks from last time. « Last Edit: Nov 11, 2015 15:27:36 GMT -6 by Rebecca Jefferson » Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Trainer Powered Trainer [send pm] Joined: June 2011 Posts: 12,706 The Death of Fear (Matthew/Open) « Nov 11, 2015 15:28:31 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top "Ready to beg for mercy again?"

It seemed that the time for nice guy Mathew has passed. « Last Edit: Nov 11, 2015 15:40:39 GMT -6 by Mathew Amtrum » Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

That was not normal in the slightest, like a robot cackling. "Not until you tell me." She shifts to the left.

The ground behind her would morph upward to slam into her back, excess metal melting off of the blob to form a serpentine Dragon. "The Earth Dragon."

She grunts and turns so that she's facing the new threat without turning her back on Matthew, eyes wide at the metal dragon. She's not going to be able to rot that. Shit. Not standing around, she sidesteps again, then back. If she can deal with Matthew, then the dragon should go down as well. « Last Edit: Nov 11, 2015 15:55:08 GMT -6 by Rebecca Jefferson » Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Trainer Powered Trainer [send pm] Joined: June 2011 Posts: 12,706 The Death of Fear (Matthew/Open) « Nov 11, 2015 15:56:05 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top She can sidestep the Dragon, but Mathew shifts as well to keep his distance. "I wonder if you can even manage to lay a finger on me. Or if you will fail again." The Dragon lunges at her with surprising speed! It's jaws opening in an attempt to grab her with it's maw!

It would move so that it kept itself between her and Mathew. "Your power won't help you here. This is bigger than you. Beyond you." The Dragon lunged for her again! Once more trying to snag her in it's mouth. All it would take was once and it was game over. "Have you thought about going home? Quitting. Before you get yourself and others killed." He asked her mockingly. Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

She ducks and dives as the dragon lunges, feeling how close it is to catching her. She rolls and pushes up off the ground, circling around Matthew and the serpentine coils. "I'm never going back there." Her face darkens at his question, voice hardening. "I'm not going back to hide under the covers for the rest of my life."

"There are monsters outside of the covers." This time the Dragon would leap for her, and if she dodged it would go into the wall, the metal reabsorbing into the room. Creating a seemingly clear path between her and Mathew! Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

She looks around, waiting for the dragon to reappear. She wonders where the dragon went and moves around Matthew again, not taking the rush but not doubting that the creature would just come up from the ground beneath her if she stayed put. "Then I'll face them." He'd already called her killer, and she'd heard about the hospital. She'd gone against the Grave Digger and wasn't unaware of the fact that the Empire existed. "If I go down against them, at least it's by choice."
