wanted: one sparring partner.
i need someone who can keep up with me, and who won't be knocked unconscious by a single punch.
preferably someone who can heal without visiting a hospital.

( way to sound like a potential serial killer, kara. )

i will pay you.
i'll be at sucker punch tomorrow, 12:00 PM.
please don't be late.

yes
you would be doing me a favor

if you'd prefer not to be paid i can offer you something else?

( uuuuhhhhhhhhh.......

well.............

that sure sounds a certain type of way, and might be a tempting offer if he wasn't picturing some total internet creeper on the other side of these anonymous messages, just 'cause of the total lack of clues into the person's identity. )

thats ok
u clearly got some shit 2 work out n i can def take more than a punch

( not, like, due to enhanced abilities or anything. but he's been through some shit. what's the worst that could happen? )

[advena]

well
normally i'd practice on a car but i haven't found a place to hook one up yet
so this is kind of a last resort sort of thing

( why is there no superhero fight club here? where is cisco when she needs him? WHERE IS HER KRYPTONITE ROOM? cadelle, you are failing her. )

[perro]

well i aint a car n cars dont hit back
so dont think im gonna go easy on u just bc ur going thru st

[advena]

if i wanted someone to go easy on me i would have said so
i didn't

you're sure you won't get hurt?

[perro]

positive

( this city seems way overpopulated with the advantaged hero-types, but does rene think he can't handle any one of them? absolutely not. )

[advena]

okay then
12:00 PM
don't be late

( she's only 50% certain she can believe someone when they say they're sure, if only just because she knows they don't have all the information. she'll take a few volunteers. maybe they'll back out when they see who they're sparring. or what she's capable of. )

[perro]

what if im late?
then what?

( sorry, he doesn't know how to keep his metaphorical mouth shut. )

[advena]

you'll have to wait your turn?

( #whoosh )

[perro]
