Sam Firewolf says
(I think his body's more or less vibrating because he's attempting to not show that he's shaking..so he's vibrating a bit)
(Had to put my nephew to bed)
Lex M. says
((Awwww.))
Sam Firewolf says
(he's three and I adore him)
Lex M. says
((Humans don't vibrate unless they're speedsters like the Flash and his family. Vibration is done at intense speeds. He's shaking and if he's trying to repress the shakes, he's at least trembling.))
Sam Firewolf says
(trembling..I have to update the writing vocab.)
(-not a strong person word-wise)
Lex M. says
Lex sheathed his sword and looked toward Zane. "Hit me all you want."
Sam Firewolf says
Zane trembled slightly, not sure if he could muster the strength to do it. "Can't, my body's done.." He replied
Lex M. says
"You have reserves. We've only been at it for half an hour. I think you can beat up a man who's not going to hit back." Lex planted his feet and looked Zane in the eye. "I want you to feel what hitting a man is like."
Sam Firewolf says
"Give me a minute then." Zane responded,trying to muster that reserve strength "And it feels a hell of a lot longer than that"
Lex M. says
Lex timed the minute off on his watch, then said, "You'll hit me until I fall. Understood?" He pushed up the headband into his hair, pocketed his hands, and waited.
Sam Firewolf says
"Yeah alright, though I don't want to." Zane scowled "I don't like one-sided fights"
Lex M. says
"Pretend I'm ******** Kase then," Lex snapped. "Or Jameel. Or that step-father of yours."
Sam Firewolf says
A scowl appeared on his face "Pretend you're James?" He took a deep breath "Alright, fine, but I'll not be holding back." He warned Lex.
Lex M. says
"My cousin's nonagenaric eight-times-great-grandfather can hit harder than you on a bad day!" The warning was heard and no ******** were given this day.
Sam Firewolf says
"Don't underestimate me." Zane stood a bit straighter, and he looked at Lex, the memory of his stepfather burning in him and staining his amber gaze a dark umber hue. Hatred flowed deeply in Zane over the injustices done to him. He focused, glowering at Lex.
"my minute up yet?" He asked
Lex M. says
"Your minute was up five minutes ago, you baby whiner with a c**k the size of a canoli and balls like overripe olives," Lex snarled.
Sam Firewolf says
A twitch, and anger burned in his veins and he ran at Lex, starting to kick, punch, and whatever he could do to vent his anger and rage.
Lex M. says
Lex's vision blurred as a blow glanced across his nose. A shoe somehow rammed into his gut. Still he held his place, even managing to gasp out the first strains of a song: "Would you believe in a night like this? A night like this, when visions come true... Would you believe in a tale like this? A lay of bliss? We're praising the old lore... Come to the blazing fire and see me in the Shadows...see
me in the Shadows..."
Sam Firewolf says
Zane kept it up, socking Lex directly in the abdomen, his vision clouded as he vented years and years of rage and hurt onto him.
Lex M. says
"Songs I will sing of runes and rings...Just hand me my harp and this night turns into myth...Nothing seems real... You soon will feel..." The wind was driven from him. He gasped, "The world we live in is another skald's Dream in the shadows...Dream in the shadows..." His jaw snapped shut with an audible clack, the blow lifting him clear from the ground for a moment before his feet came down to
the grass again.
Sam Firewolf says
Continuing, Zane punched him harder and harder, hot, angered tears rushing down his face, "No one is ever gonna ******** hurt me again" He growled.
Lex M. says
"Do you believe there is sense in it? Is it truth or myth? They're one in my rhymes..." He stood straighter as a punch almost bowled him to the side. "Nobody knows the meaning behind the weavers' line. Well, nobody but the Norns can see through the blazing fires of time and..." His ears rang as a stray kick smacked into his head. "All things will proceed as the Child of the Hallowed will speak to
you now... See me in the Shadows... see me in the Shadows..."
Sam Firewolf says
Finally, he stopped, he knew he had to keep going until Lex fell but, he was getting exhausted. Panting, he stepped back.
Lex M. says
Lex looked at him flatly and spat blood from his mouth.
"Weakling, I said until I fall. If you do not fell your enemies, they will heal and rise again. Now continue."
Sam Firewolf says
"******** you I am NOT a Weakling!!!!" Zane roared with renewed energy and proceeded to keep beating him up.
Lex M. says
"Songs I will sing of tribes and kings..." A new light came into Lex's eyes as he took blow after blow, gasping as a fist caught his throat. "The carrion bird and the hall of the slain..." His vision blackened for a moment. "Nothing seems real..." He stood straight once again, his eyes locking with Zane's. "You soon will feel the World we live in is another skald's Dream in the shadows...Dream in
the shadows..."
Sam Firewolf says
Zane, as Lex's gaze locked with his stopped a moment, his gaze full of anguish. He was recollecting things in his past as he beat the Assassin up.
Lex M. says
Lex moved forward as Zane paused, not raising his fists, keeping their eyes locked, even as both of his own were nearly swollen shut.
"Do not fear for my reason. There's nothing to hide. How bitter your treason. How bitter the lie. Remember the runes and remember the light. All I ever want is to be at your side..." The Sparrow seemed to gaze through him, to stare with a stare that wasn't his own.
"We gladden the rave. Now I will run through the blazing fires. That's my choice. 'Cause things shall proceed as foreseen." He watched as Zane continued to back as he moved forward, the Novice's back against the tree he'd jumped from before.
Sam Firewolf says
Zane's eyes hardened as Lex backed him up, his muscles tensing, expecting attack.
Lex M. says
"I now show you mercy, pitiful man unworthy of death," said the medic, turning his back on the nonthreat and walking back to his former position.
Sam Firewolf says
Zane looked rather confused, but didn't question it, he knew better than to put his guard down now.
Lex M. says
The next moment a throwing knife was on either side of Zane's throat, pinned to the wood. The Sparrow lowered his outstretched arm. "You did not fell me. Beware the man who considers you unworthy of being a threat. You are unworthy of death, as I said, but you must earn your life."
Sam Firewolf says
He flinched a bit, then spoke "How do I do such a thing?" He asked, he had beat up Lex pretty damn good he had to admit, but the shorter male was far stronger than he.
Lex M. says
"Which statement are you looking for an answer to? To both, I can answer this: work a lot harder." Lex sighed and ran a hand through his hair, feeling a nice egg growing already on the side of his head.
Sam Firewolf says
Zane shifted "I will. I swear by it I will work hard."

Pantless Boy Wonder . says
Malik hadn't drifted too far, hugging Charlie tightly. So far this planet, sorry Robin, was definitely.... more then whelming. He had to say that as much as he'd love to say he was whelmed he was definitely rather overwhelmed and feeling very lost and vulnerable, eyes darting about beneath the hood. There was a more noticeable rasp to his breathing then there had been on Earth as his body worked
on adapting still. He still had his hood up, all skin covered either by clothing or just by shadows as he looked around again, feeling almost out of place.
Lex M. says
As Saint Walker returned from speaking with Brother Warth, he spotted the young man. Smiling, he moved to him and said, "Malik. You're here too? And who's this with you?"
"I'm a Corgi!" Charlie yapped. "Hope Corgi! That's a British bread! I'm delicious!"
((Sam? You there?))
Sam Firewolf says
(yep)
(Waiting for -something- to post to as I can't find anything yet)
Lex M. says
((...Y'know how Walker thinks of Lex, right?))
((And a Corgi just yelled "I'm a British BREAD." wink )
Sam Firewolf says
(-sigh- How CLOSE are they to Zane and Lex??)
(Like..nearby?)
Lex M. says
((Yes, nearby. Walker wouldn't go very far from Lex. At least not without getting back very quickly. He KNOWS how Lex trains and Skandar is his son, so...))
Sam Firewolf says
(alright, just making sure.(
Zane glanced over as he heard a barking voice nearby. "..What's with the talking animals around this family?" he shook his head, a little freaked out. He spotted the hooded figure, when Walter queried about what Malik was doing here "Dude..Malik?What's he doing here?" He wondered quietly.
Lex M. says
((Walker, with a K.))
Sam Firewolf says
(..sorry >< wink
Pantless Boy Wonder . says
Malik looked up at Walker adjusting how he was hugging Charlie to free an arm to hug Walker as well. "This is Charlie, he's a Corgi which is a British Breed," he stated trying not to laugh at the 'British Bread' comment. He coughed a bit instead. He paused hesitantly before removing a glove to touch Walkers face, yes I think that has gone from being curious to almost a way of greeting while
reassuring himself that he was fine, and that Walker was fine, and that the skin texture was still slightly different. Hard to explain really. So just take it as a greeting mixed with reassurance for Malik that it was all right to not look the same as everyone else. He looked over at Zane at the comment about what he was doing here. "I was on the same space ship? I left at the same point?" he
rasped out hoarsely from trying to get a shout at the comment starting to cough again hugging Charlie to himself.
Lex M. says
Charlie looked up at him, whining softly and licking his cheek as Walker pressed a hand gently over Malik's scars. Lex smiled toward the two and strolled as well as he could with bruised shins and calves to meet them, the limp in his right leg more pronounced than before. Despite himself and his knowledge of the Sparrow's training methods--he was known to spar with Kilowog for an hour as LIGHT
training--Walker drew in a sharp breath at seeing his son's face swollen and colored mottled shades of red, blue-black, and purple. "S'all right, Baba," said the medic reassuringly, spitting out another glob of blood. "No missing teeth this time." The Blue Lantern leader took his face gently between his hands all the same, turning it carefully from side to side to inspect the damage.
Sam Firewolf says
Zane blinked a bit "huh, guess I must've been a bit too freaked to notice." He replied to Malik then bit his lip, feeling guilty as Walker inspected Lex. He had done a lot of facial damage, mostly going above the waistline. Zane shuffled his feet, not approaching the others, preferring to keep his distance a bit.
Pantless Boy Wonder . says
Malik gave a slight gesture of his hand still coughing trying to focus on calming his breathing eyes closed brow furrowing in concentration each cough rasping and ragged as he hugged Charlie more to his body letting himself drop to his knees as he could feel himself growing light headed his body refusing to respond shoulders hunched forward trying not to close up his chest and diaphragm by curling
up putting Charlie down so he could lean forwards slightly to brace his weight on his forearms keeping his eyes closed as he refocused on calming his breathing and taking deeper breaths.
((brb guys need a shower shouldn't be too long))
Sam Firewolf says
(alright)
Lex M. says
Charlie whined as Lex pulled away from Walker and went to Malik, kneeling and straightening him to expand his diaphragm. The dog pressed his head against Malik's chest, glowing faintly blue, the light spreading around the young man until his breathing normalized. The little dog wagged his whole body from side to side, saying, "Malik breathing. Everything will be okay. We can play now? Sticks!"
Walker looked from the three to the newest member of the Corps, Zane. His black eyes narrowed slightly as he stepped to the slightly bruised figure and asked, "So, did you spar so well you managed to get under his guard enough to do him this much damage? I thought Skandar mentioned you said you were terrible in a fight."
Sam Firewolf says
Zane shifted uncomfortably under Walker's gaze and bit his lower lip. "Actually, he told me to try and make him fall, I failed though, even though I tried my hardest." He responded. "He's viewed me as a non-threat, and stated I must earn my life by working hard"
Lex M. says
Lex flinched, sure he saw Malik jump as much as he had, Charlie blinking, as Walker's fist snapped out from where it had been tucked over his other arm, his arms having been folded across his chest, and smacked clean into Zane's face. It seemed a reflex, something automatic, and gave him pause to wonder if he was becoming a bad influence on his alien father.
Sam Firewolf says
(Question how hard did Walker punch? enough to break his nose?)
Lex M. says
((Surely hard enough to stamp the Blue Lantern symbol onto Zane's face, if not to break his nose. xD))
Sam Firewolf says
(XD)
Zane yelped in pain as Walker's fist made contact with his face, it was unexpected and he had foolishly let his guard down "DAMNIT! What was that for?!" He demanded angrily.
Lex M. says
((Welcome back, Robin. :3 XD Walker just pwned Zane.))
Pantless Boy Wonder . says
Malik gasped for air at first as his breathing started to normalize "thank you," he stated hoarsely to Charlie and Lex hugging the Corgi again, while he'd jumped at the sudden punch he managed to calmly rasp out "for being a novice, no other reason needed," okay so he'd grown used to the occasional blow his way when training under Jameel, he rarely blinked at such - though Walker doing that was a
bit of an amazement
Lex M. says
Walker remained silent, giving the young man such a glare Lex wondered if Kase and he hadn't switched bodies somehow and Kase was going to whip a tomahawk out of Walker's ring and hatchet the rest of Zane's face away. He'd sure left an impression of the ring on it to say the least. Cautiously, he went to the alien's side and rested his fingers on either side of his arm. The Astonian flinched, head
whipping around so quickly his head-tail whip-cracked the air an inch from Zane's cheek. Calming, he reached over and drew the Turk to him, fingers ruffling through his hair.
Sam Firewolf says
Zane winced at the glare, averting his gaze and leaned back as the head-tail whip nearly hit him. Silently, he turned to the right, and walked a few feet away and sat down, glaring at the ground. "I'm so not cut out for this.." He muttered to himself
Pantless Boy Wonder . says
Malik slowly stood up walking over to Zane just catching the tail end of his comment crouching in front of him "So that's it? Gonna just give in kid? Gonna take the easy route?" he shook his head "If you are then you're lower then I put you on the heirachy that exists in everything?" he hugged Charlie tighter. "Listen kid, I nearly gave up, I lashed out at my younger brother blaming him for
everything, for the fact I couldn't become a cartographer easily anymore, because of how humanity would see my scars, it was shortly after that I got taken in by Jameel," he shrugged "don't know why I'm telling you this mind, but one hint. Don't beat up someone who's father is a few feet away, it tends to get the father pissed off."
Sam Firewolf says
"Malik, I don't want to give up,but I couldn't even make Lex fall down when he told me to beat him up unti he did!!! How do I even know I'm meant for this?" He asked, raising his gaze to meet Malik's. "A freaking comet changed my whole fate, how do I know that wasn't meant for someone else?" He put his head in his hands. "I'm trying my damndest to stay positive about this whole ordeal but the
truth is I'm confused as hell,and.." He shook his head "I feel lost in a sea that I'm not supposed to be swimming in if that makes any sense"
Pantless Boy Wonder . says
Malik yanked his hoods down rapidly his eyes narrowed "s**t happens. I had to grow up quickly after my parents died. I had to look after my kid brother, I had plans of my own guess what! Fate ******** them up. I wanted to be a cartographer, my younger brother threw a hissy fit set a barn on fire with horses in it, I CHOSE to risk to save the horses, hey look Fate ******** up again. Life isn't all
smooth sailing. So stop whining about how you don't know your path any more and grow some balls," he snarled out coughing slightly again, his voice getting noticeably raspy. "You say your father used to be mean to you, maybe he was trying to get you to man up and learn how to stand on your own two feet," he added on. "Baba was abused by his father, baba had his back whipped to the point there was
no feeling left. He was given to an enemy tribe to be raped, to be beaten and to be treated like s**t because of his being gay something his baba didn't approve of, so stop your b***h whining or get the ******** out my sight before I kill you,"
Sam Firewolf says
Gaze flashed a moment but he settled himself. "I haven't given up yet, I'm just having one of my moments." He sighed. "I get those more than I should. And again, when I open up to someone I get shot down, I'm trying to get you guys to know me better so you can HELP me, not shoot me down again. I want the help, which is WHY I'm here and trying to talk about what happened to me." He stated "I don't
want to hold anything back anymore. I've held it back for far too long, and I was told that talking helps things get better."
"Which is what I'm trying to do. Holding it in just makes things worse and I'm trying to strengthen myself emotionally, because, let's face it, I'm too damn emotional."
Pantless Boy Wonder . says
Malik's eyes narrowed "Then go piss, cry, rest do whatever the ******** you have to do to get out of one of your 'moments' just do so quietly and without whining! Heck go sit over there for an hour and ******** meditate or go do 100 sit ups.... yeh actually go do 100 sit ups, you get a 5 minute break when you get to 50," he rasped out "and if you whine about it once you're dead,"
((That's Jameels influence ^.^;;; Malik doesn't think 100 sit ups is a high number))
Sam Firewolf says
(ah)
Pantless Boy Wonder . says
((Malik did 1000 sit ups with no break))
Lex M. says
((Kase, Lex, and Jam regularly have contests to see who can do the most push ups, sit ups, pull ups, etc.))
Pantless Boy Wonder . says
((I think Malik's starting to join in ))
Sam Firewolf says
"I think meditating would be a bit better..I can't do more than ten sit ups in a row. 100's gonna kill me, even if you guys don't." He replied "I just went through a ******** shitload of fighting with Lex, I'm done for the day body-wise so I'm gonna meditate. It's calming and it'll help me more than pushing myself too much and damn near killing myself."
He gave a slight smile at Malik "If that's alright?" He tilted his head.
Lex M. says
Lex went over to Malik and touched his arm gently. "Ibn akhuya," he said softly, his tongue still swollen from where he'd bitten it. Walker had managed to reduce a good amount of the swelling in his face, but the bruises still remained and his tongue was still sore, swollen, and throbbing. "Yallah." He continued in Arabic. "Leave the Novice to go attempt to commune with the world. The world will
probably send a raven to deliver him the message of having been bequeathed a s**t on the head."
Pantless Boy Wonder . says
Malik had almost slugged Zane, his pinky twitching to activate the hidden blade as a clear warning that he was furious looking up at Lex forcing himself to calm down nodding quietly slowly standing up letting the hidden blade retract before pulling his hoods up again "I'm sorry Sayyid," he responded quietly in Arabic apologising for his behaviour being unbecoming
Sam Firewolf says
Zane slowly stood, and walked away, sitting about 10 feet away, he crossed his legs, and closed his eyes, letting his mind wander where it would, his telepathic abilities taking over, along with the Reality warp, bending the space about him ever so slightly.
(he looks like he's surrounded by a bubble)
Lex M. says
Lex smiled and reached up, pulling Malik's head down gently to press their foreheads together, closing his eyes. It was easier than holding them open against the swelling that remained; they did ache a good deal. "No need to call me master, Malik. You've lived in my house for how long now before I got voted up in rank by dint of nobody else wanting to do the shitty paperwork?"
Charlie tilted his head as he looked from Walker, who stood with his back to the group, calming himself, to the two Assassins, and then to Zane. He stood and walked toward the bubbled figure, pushing his way inside and forming a collar around his neck so the bubble went away. Sitting down, his forepaws on the boy's crossed legs, he said, "Hope Corgi brings tidings of wanting to play with sticks.
Also, are you okay?"
Pantless Boy Wonder . says
Malik smiled at that "'Amm," he said hugging Lex tighter before he slowly moved to go hug Walker, making sure to not do so from behind, he'd rather not risk a reflex punch from Walker, seeming as it looked like it hurt. He wasn't one to speak much still preferring his actions the fact he let Walker in by hugging indicating his trust in the alien.
Sam Firewolf says
As Charlie spoke to him, Zane's focus broke and he slowly opened his gaze, looking at him "I'm fine, just trying to focus and rest a bit." he replied, then realized something was around his neck "Why's there a collar around my neck?" He asked curiously.
(It IS around HIS neck right??)
Lex M. says
((Yes.))
Sam Firewolf says
(okay)
Lex M. says
Walker smiled a little and pulled Malik close, Lex moving up and putting his arms around both of them. Charlie cocked his head and manifested a leash as well, attaching it to the collar. He picked up the leash and started walking, tugging Zane after him. Little legs going as fast as they could, he smiled a doggy smile and started in on what he wanted to say.
"I was sad once," said the Corgi. "Then I went for a walk. Walk, walk, love to walk!" He yipped and jumped a little. "And Jameel was sad, too; he took me for the walk. And we found this thing!" Charlie stopped and wriggled. "It was this wonderful, bouncy, roll-around thing! And he picked it up and threw it! And I chased it!" He ran in a circle. "And I knew I'd never lose it, ever, ever because..."
Sam Firewolf says
(-trying not to giggle at the sight of Zane being led around by a leash by a Corgi-)
Lex M. says
He stopped, panting, and looked up at Zane, standing up on his hind legs and putting his forelegs on his leg. "Because it made him play. And that made him smile." The dog nodded. "That's why play is good. And why you should walk with me and find a bouncy, roll around thing. Or a stick. It'll make you smile."
