Then I started using it to power myself up to use a better attack." Jack smiles again. "Of course, that was fifteen years ago. I can do it without any prep now, and I've made it stronger."

The bigger your power reserves, the more powerful each attack will be, because you can afford to put more of your power into whatever you're doing." He looks like he wants to see this "best attack" but isn't sure he should ask. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

He'd heard the stories. He'd been a baby, and his mother was out of Chicago with him on maternity leave, but Dad had been fighting in the city, taking out demons and protecting civilians. Aaron'd had nightmares about it. « Last Edit: Dec 30, 2015 3:21:24 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman - Reason: I got the timelines wrong. » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

But at least we rebuilt." But hey. Who was going to let a woman with a baby fight? And the whole city was in danger, not just Paradigm. "Kind of curious what this attack looks like now. If you could hurt Rath with it back then, I bet nothing can stand up to it any more." « Last Edit: Dec 30, 2015 3:22:00 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

I guess I'll show you." He was going to show it from the start. Jack lifts up his hand, backing up, and electricity begins to form in it. Then, slowly, it lengthens, creating a long, almost stable spear shape. "This, right here, is the original lightning spear." Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

He's watching closely. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Jack just keeps holding it the spear for a moment, then it suddenly flares brighter, the solid electricity giving off more errant sparks and flares. "And this... is something I just call the great lightning spear. Same thing, but much stronger." Taking a few steps forward, he hurls it like a javelin straight for Aaron's target, and the moment there's impact, the spear punches straight through and keeps going. And going. And goes out of sight. "Whoops." Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

That looked impressive, at least, but now he's worried it's going to hit someone, or something important! "Maybe I should've put the target in the sky."

I'll practise what you showed me in tutorial - safer there if my power goes out of control." A tumbleweed would have blown by, if there were tumbleweeds in Chicago. "Do this again sometime? I don't know how often you'll have time to see me but I think I'll learn a lot." Like to put his targets in the sky where nothing will get hit if attacks go rogue.

Aaron hadn't been sure what else to say. He's still looking in the direction the electric spear went, as if expecting signs of catastrophic damage down the road. "I, um... I'll email you my class schedule and the times Mr. Amtrum expects to see me, when I get back to my pod. We'll figure out what works with both our schedules?" « Last Edit: Nov 16, 2015 9:57:07 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...
