I didn't really... worry too much. These days, I've put a lot more work into it, that's why I've got the improved version." Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

You're the one here who's done this before." Sure, the Silverman Buster isn't exactly a move the likes of which has never ever been seen before, this first version is basically a Kamehameha but black but he is still putting together essentially a new technique and a bunch of possible variants from scratch. "Not to mention you've been fighting metahumans for longer than I've even been alive." Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Jack shrugs. Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

It felt worth thinking about." If he could do it at this halfway point, imagine its effectiveness when he'd gotten even further. "Sorry, sir, I got a little overexcited. I'll keep training control; doing this at least once a day seems to be really helping." Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

I might have ruined the only chance we ever get at capturing him, and couldn't even protect the defector." Though they'd captured one of his men, so it hadn't been totally fruitless. He's not arguing with Jack, he's actually interested. « Last Edit: Dec 13, 2015 17:32:05 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

But the Director had been so patient and helpful with him, and that frown gave him pause. Why should he open old wounds or dig into his past? "I won't pry, if you don't want me to ask."

Aaron nods too! Everyone picks up things they don't want to talk about if they stay in this job long enough, and not many people had been at it longer than the Director. Besides, he'd been taught it's rude to grill people for stories. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

It's at least a bit of a joke, but the smile never reaches his eyes. "I'm just keeping myself distracted, sir, and training felt like the best way to do it. A lot of people died in that mission yesterday, been trying not to think about it after I turned in the report." His eyes fall on the pieces of Legion bot again, and he muses, half to himself: "...I should probably clean that up." Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

"That explains how I caught him with my shadow suplex, that one time..." It hadn't done much of anything, but it had briefly put Mr. Amtrum on the back foot, and that was something. Aaron looks focussed as he gives the Director a grateful nod, as if he's already coming up with a plan. "I've thought of at least one thing I can do to him, so if I attack from there maybe it can get me started." Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Oh well. "I think he wants me to figure out his weaknesses, how to bring him down; he's told me he wants to see something new from me, not just the same old strategy. I know he needs to breathe, and if I can keep him off the ground entirely..." Well, he'd still have to worry about his earthbending, but it'd be a lot easier. No metal armour for example.
