"You say as you outshine me." He grins.

"So what's next, Captain?"

"Uhh. I dunno. I suck at this."

She places her hands on her hips and looks around.

"Honestly this would be a lot easier in the city...all sort of building to flip off of, different ways to climb, buncha roofs to jump to."

She scratches the back of her head.

"You happen to be interested in something in particular...?"

She's too lazy to think...

"Jumping and climbing of any kind is fine by me. If there was something specific you felt like doing we could go downtown and do that?"

He seemed excited. Tired, but excited.

Jan Di would laugh.

"You're an eager dude, huh? Alright, I can't say no to enthusiasm like that."

She nods to one side of the school.

"I'll show you the cool way down. Using drain pipes."

"Kay." she would look down the pipes, figuring out where she could put her feet.

"Watch this, dude."

She'd throw herself off the edge before more or less slipping down, slowing her momentum by placing her feet on the parts securing the pipes.

At about the second story she'd kick off the wall and land with a roll, bringing her arms up in victory.

"Yoooooooo!"

"Holy cow." He mutters to himself as he observes Jan Di from up top.

"Good one, but I'll be down to meet you soon!"

Nervous, and examining the pipe, Murdoch would kneel on the ledge of the roof, holding the top of the pipe for support as he let himself fall onto the supports! He'd start sliding down, too concerned to perform the same jump and roll as Jan Di! Once at a favorable height, he'd let go, landing and stumbling backward toward her!

Jan Di would stop his stumble by pushing his back forward with her palm.

"How'd that feel? Not everyone's comfortable with heights."

Murdoch was steady!

"Thanks! And pretty good, actually. It was a rush I'm not really used to."

His heart was beating rapidly, and sweat was dripping down his body, but he felt really good. Like he had found another small way to help him succeed.

Jan Di gives his back a pat before wiping her hand on her pants...

"Well it gets better! And faster."

And stronger...

"Let's go find buildings then." she motions with a wave before leading him out to the city! He can stay shirtless if he wants.

He does stay shirtless, following Jan Di into the city.

"SO how long have you been an agent? What made you wanna work at the Academy?"

"Didn't have much of a choice." she says nonchalantly.

"I was basically raised by staff at the school since I was 6. I guess when Paradigm's your whole life, the natural progression is becoming an agent. I started on small missions when I was 13 or 14. It was kinda like what you guys are experiencing. You have your core group of people around your age, probably makin' friends, jumping into non-assigned missions." she grins a bit.

"You likin' the experience? I was scared shitless my first few mission." she shudders.

"Everyone was a mess."

That initiates a laugh out of Murdoch.

"Been pretty terrified a few times, but I've been holding together. It's actually one of the reasons I'm doing this with you. I want to be in a position where I'm not a liability, and can handle those tough assignments."

"Good on ya to be taking those steps." she nods.

"Not to ask the hard-hitting questions, but, is it 'cause you've felt like a liability at some point?"

"That's definitely part of it." His face slightly scrunches up, Murdoch embarrassed by the fact.

"Either by not being effective or by seizing up. The most recent issue was in that hospital fire downtown."

"I heard about that. Didn't you guys win?"

She'd be looking at him, but her eyes keep searching through the buildings.

"Yeah, we 'won', I guess. By the time we contained her, pretty much everyone on that floor was dead." He grimaces at the thought, a vivid scene playing back in his head.

"I see it all the time, and it's bonkers. My real issue is that a froze up on the scene. I didn't know what to do, and was only any help because I had Silas keeping a plan in motion."

"Sounds more like something you need to get used to." Jan Di says thoughtfully.

"Like, repeat exposure or whatever. No amount of training's gonna help if you just freeze there."

"You know what always helped me? Imagining it like a video-game."

Might only be helpful for certain kinds of people but she put it out there.

"Oh, this spot is good."

She'd stop and turn towards a rather narrow alley.

"In what sense?" He inquires about the video game tactic before looking down the alleyway.

"And what're we gonna do here?"

"Haha, I just imagine I'm about as badass as the people in the game and I get a boost of confidence. Well. Until I get clipped by something. That usually shatters the illusion."

She gives a shrug before pointing at the top of the building.

"We're either going to do some fancy climbing to the roof again so we can go jump, or, we can take that fire escape. Up to you."

Fire escape was easier. She was down with that.

"Tell me about it." he recalls getting shot by Rebecca on one of his earliest missions.

"And the fire escape sounds fine to me."
