“Come on, then! Hit me!” ( from genji, ow-era )

ஃ ➡ sparring starters // @pafallende

the blackwatch operatives are not HIS to train—their schedules are overseen by REYES, training matches allotted in appropriate time slots, rarely corresponding with recruit training hours——but jack chalks his visit up to ‘ typical leader-role obligation, ’ plotting reasoning to his peering in on blackwatch training on the off-chance he’s to run into the COMMANDER—

—yet gabriel’s presence is NOTICEABLY lacking, something for which seems to give the agents the CONFIDENCE to beckon jack over, insisting he show them some of the tactics HE picked up in the SEP ; he insists much of what he learned had been by gabriel’s guidance, yet STILL there’s operatives urging him to face them on the mat.

it’s all in good fun, & doesn’t take too much TAUNTING for him to concede.

AGENT AFTER AGENT take their turns being PERSONALLY & REPEATEDLY introduced to the padded flooring ; a handful at ONCE in some cases, & jack can’t lie & say he isn’t the least bit GIDDY to prove himself to gabriel’s division—not that he thought they lacked RESPECT for him, it’s just… everything’s been so MUDDLED as of late, & gabe’s constant ( & frankly UNSUBTLE ) efforts in keeping jack distanced from blackwatch have done NOTHING to HELP—it’s NICE, this chance to prove himself to those of whom he gets limited interaction with. they’re all of the SAME GOAL, yet sometimes it feels as though they’re wholly different organizations altogether.

—over half an hour in & in come gabe’s top two agents ; they seem content to sit back & WATCH for the time being, up until shimada steps up to the mat, an act for which clears all others off INSTANTLY——THIS is something jack had been EXPECTING.

—THE SPAR persists longer than all others before it had, genji’s agility & sharp motions enough to lead jack around the mat, dizzying him & allowing openings for genji to dart in with a well-placed blow—but it’s not enough to take down the strike commander, & while jack may not be quick enough to CATCH genji, he HAS managed to snag the cyborg at one point & physically THROW HIM across the mat.

—it’s not long before genji gets him BACK, surprising jack with a feint & coming around to smash metallic fist against the strike commander’s NOSE—& in the next moment, there’s a BLOOM of red that leads to a HALT in combat.

a beat for SILENCE, the room quiet where previously recruits had been chanting & cheering ; before this jack’s intention had been merely to STAVE OFF the cyborg, but it seems genji’s genuinely out for BLOOD—it’s jack who reintroduces noise to the staggered training hall, swiping a wrist beneath his nose & spreading blood across his cheek ;

“ ALRIGHT THEN - no more playing around. ”
