A secluded area on the beach, Friday afternoon

Bruce was conflicted. He couldn't figure out whether or not training to defend himself against psychic and telekinetic attacks alone on the beach with a girl he had been dating counted as an actual date. On one hand, nobody else was invited and she was a superhero. On the other hand, he wasn't sure how many other people would find this kind of thing kind of romantic. (He did, but he also knew he was a little messed up.)

He decided to play it safe. He wasn't going to let himself slide into an all-business mode like he normally would while training. That might scare Jean off.

[OOC: For the girl, please!]

"It's good practice," Jean replied, totally thinking this was the best date ever. "And it's not exactly a hardship to spend time with you."

"I'm sure some people might disagree," Bruce said. "But I prefer your take on it."

"Uh-huh. I thought you would," Jean replied, waving over at the bag of food to pull it towards them.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
"What kind of food did you bring?" Bruce asked. "And do you have to use your hand to use telekinesis?"

He was curious.

Opening the bag once it was safely on the ground, Jean let him check out the oh so moddable pair of salads and sandwiches. And other various snacks that were totally healthy. "Not really. It's more for people to know I'm using it, duh focus."

"So if I was in a fight with someone with telekinesis, if I managed to take their hands out of the fight by binding them or something, it would just be a little harder for them?" Bruce checked as he took a sandwich.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Jean had to think about that. "If they depend on their hands to direct it, maybe."

"It's probably worth a shot if that ever comes up, then," Bruce said.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
"It couldn't hurt," Jean agreed. "And it would throw someone off."

"If this is any indication, I think you're going to do a great job teaching," Bruce said.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Really?" Oh sure, make her all sorts of happy.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
"We've been at this a few minutes and I'm already learning a lot about powers I don't even have," Bruce said. "Until I teach myself telepathy. I think that's a good start."

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
"And you're a good student," Jean added, leaning over to give him another kiss. A PG one, thanks.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Bruce decided he might as well go for it and reached a hand out to run through her hair as he made a small attempt to push the boundaries of PG.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

What would the FCC think, Bruce?

Other than dead parents don't make for family friendly entertainment, that is.

And Bruce was just lucky he was so cute that Jean didn't pull away immediately and offer a salad. A nice, wholesome salad. Just ask Chuck Bass.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Bruce would pay the FCC's fines in the name of action. He was tremendously rich, after all.

He pulled away slightly. "We should probably get some more training in before we get completely derailed."

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Blushing, Jean nodded. "Right. The telekinesis now?"

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure," Bruce said, starting to rise to his feet. "Um, how are we going to do this? Are you going to throw anything at me, or just try to push me around?"

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
"I--" Well this was awkward. "We could try one of us attack the other?"

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
"I have to admit, most of my fight training is a little more structured than whatever we're going to come up with," Bruce said. "How much hand-to-hand training have you had?"

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Just a little bit," Jean admitted. "Since I can keep people away with my powers, I never really looked into more."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
"In that case, let's start with you attacking me with your powers. After a few minutes of that, I'll show you some defensive moves to use if anyone gets too close," Bruce said.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
"That should work," Jean replied, standing up to begin just that. And then they sparred for a while.

And then they stopped.

Like you do. When you're no longer sparring with someone. Someone like Bruce.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
And they also made a date for tomorrow.

Just getting that on the record.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
It was a classy date. At Lobster Hut.

And now... a word from your sponsors.
