 Evasive Maneuvers (Ty/Open)

Eric stood surrounded by three Legion bots in the tutorial, two already lay smouldering off to the side.  One with a buzz saw swiped at him from one side as one behind him fired a blast of energy.  The portal opening under Eric's feet would shoot up away from both attacks and behind the third which would be pushed forward into the buzz saw of the first one before the second one blasted them with energy!

With the test over Eric would let out a relieved sigh and wipe the sweat from his brow.  Still not fun... But he needed to get better at reacting, if his last encounter taught him anything.  Not to mention the situation in the Nexus.  He just needed to be better.

He frowned momentarily when he heard Matt's voice. He still felt guilty about their last session. And he hadn't really handled the hospital that well either.

"I have to if I'm going to be my best. People depend on me."

"That's true, but you also have to be careful not to push too hard."

"No way to know what to hard is until you reach your limit though."

Not quite the slacker he was when they started.

He nods, walking over.

"I heard you came across another Metahuman confrontation the other night."

"He had a grenade or something. Though it seems like I was the only one caught in the blast."

He should have portaled it away. He was too slow.

"I don't think I am. But it would be dumb to not try and learn from what happened."

And that meant getting better.

He looks at the pieces of robot!

"What have you been doing?"

He still couldn't bring himself,to use his portals as actual weapons.

"Like trying to be quicker on the draw to reacting to danger?"

Was reaction time not obvious?

"I had no doubts." He pauses.

"But I'm still allowed to be impressed."

He shrugged.

"Despite what you might think, I do care about what we do. And at the end of the day I do want to make a difference."

"Eric..." He sighs, walking over.

"Why are you so aggressive towards me, still?"

Eric just shrugs and looks away. He didn't really have a good sounding answer.
