Red Ranger has posed:
     Jason Scott's day starts out like any other day, 'bright' and early at 5am the 17 year old martial artist makes his way out to the cherry red Mitsubishi Montero Limited that is his car, unlocking the vehicle and opening the rear door he starts to get prepaired, a black nylon vest covered in long narrow pockets is put on causing the small SUV's suspension to rise an inch or so, followed by a pair of 'shorts' with similar pockets, which has the vehicle rising even more as great weight is removed from where it's being held. Finally wrist weights and ankle weights are added to the ensemble before a pair of oversized red sweat pants cover his lower body, a large red hoodie going over his torso. leaving him looking like a somewhat over weight man.

    Soon after that ear buds are put in and his phone is set to play workout music as he stretches his legs for a few minutes before he takes off at a leasurly pace, letting the close to 350 pounds of lead weights shift and settle and his body warm up as he heads towards the center of town..

Black Canary has posed:
Jason Scott. The martial arts prodigy. She was following his career until a year go where... he just stopped participatnig in anything. Might as well have fallen off the map. Shortly before Tommy Oliver did as well. So - she tracked down Jason Scott. She's in full Black Canary getup (black outfit, facemask, long platinum-blonde wig), and is watching from binoculars, mounted on her classic Harley. She watches him adorn himself in... hundreds of pounds of... equipment? Dafuq?

As Jason starts to run towards the center of town as she slowly moves the Harley along, trying not to be noticed, using any cover she can, using the binoculars to watch you till you'er almost out of view before moving along.

Red Ranger has posed:
     Jason Scott is going through a rather simple exercise routine at this point seemingly unaffected by the weight he's carrying but keeping hidden He'll Jog a quarter of a mile then drop and do about eighty pushups his arms moving furnter and further in with every set of 10 till he's doing diamond pushups, this followed by two minutes of non-stop shadow fighting, jumping four feet in the air doing round house kicks and the like beforehe sprints faster than an olympian sprinter for a solid quarter of a mile rinse repeat, the 17 year old young man oblivious to the fact that in the early morning the sun not even a blush on the horizon yet that he's being followed..

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary just watches for a bit longer. This young man, who until a year ago was a relatively normal martial artist, has become some kind of... superhuman. She finally decides to confront him as she guns the Harley and aims its headlight at you as she stops near you. She studies you. In a voice different than any she ever used as Dinah Drake, she states, "Impressive feats for a 17-year-old high school student. Not quite normal, are we?" The outfit, mask, and bike of Black Canary would be famioliar to anyone living in Starling.

Red Ranger has posed:
     Jason Scott is in the middle of one of his shadow fighting routines when the bike comes roaring over to him the teen leaping back when he sees the bike 'barreling' his way, the responcible teen isn't blaring his music so he's able to her her as she talks, but he still pulls them out of his ears.. "Sorry Ma'am, but I don't know what you mean? It's just jogging and practicing martial arts." he says his hands loose at his side ready to defend himself if need be. "I'm a martial artist, I like to keep in shape." he adds, not recognizing the outfit or bike, Angel Grove not having the same issues the near by Starling has..

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary nods. "I know who you are, Jason Scott," she states, getting off the bike. "You were a prodigy, and the greater martial arts community had high hopes for you - then you suddenly disappeared off the map. Followed by your friend Tommy Oliver. And this morning, I see you strapping on twice your body weight in equipment, running quite rapidly, jumping very high, and you aren't even out of breath." She blinks. "I am Black Canary in case you don't recognize me."

Red Ranger has posed:
     It clicks then and his body language becomes a lot more relaxed. "Ohh! Wow.. and you came all the way out here?" he says with a small laugh. "I can't talk about Tommy, but I had to stop the tournaments, between highschool, and me getting an early start on EMT training so I can join the Angel Grove Fire Department, I just didn't have the time to compete like I was. I still train to keep in shape." he ties to explain. "Why were you watching me get ready for my morning road work?" he asks curiously.

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary nods. "I am curious as to why you dropped off the map of martial arts tournament. And now I know." She nods. "The stories I heard about you stated that you fight fair and clean. Somehow you got superpowers and it'd be unsporting to spar with someone who's only human." She nods. "Superpowers don't usually develop this late - but I suppose some trauma could have awakened a meta-gene. It's what happened with me."

Red Ranger has posed:
     Jason Scott pulls off the hood of his hoodie running his fingers through his short hair. "Wait, there's someone out there saying I quit the circuit because I'm a meta?" he says sounding a bit confused about that, he'ed been careful to explain to those around him why he wasn't doing the tournaments any more, of just not having the time, much like he told Black Canary, this news both suprising and troubleing. "Part of why I was concidered a 'prodogy' was cause of my training routine, I don't go and lift weights like a weight lifter, but have worn weight suits like this for my road work for years." he tries to explain. "I like to win through stamina and technique more than Strength and power."

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary shakes her head. "No. I have assumed it was something along this line. Watching your performance today has proven it. Weight suits don't normally weigh three hundred pounds. Your car's suspension raised - a LOT - when you put it on." She smiles softly. "Very well. Let me try something else." Suddenly she screams at you. With her Canary Cry - not at full power, but enough to stun and knock down a normal person.

Red Ranger has posed:
     Jason Scott isn't expecting the attack, and just has enough time to bring his hands up to his ears as the sound rips through him and several lights come on in the neighborhood as folks are woken up and want to try and find where that sudden blast came from. Other than taking a step or two back away from Canary though Jason is unharmed. Sighing and looking a bit aggrivated when the proverbial 'jig is up' he shifts his feet into a more offensive stance though his arms still remain relaxed at his side when he lets his hands drop. "Ok Lady, what do you want of me, what's the end goal here?" he asks in a serious tone..

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary just smirks. "Confirmation," she muses softly. "Oh... I forgot where we were." She sighs softly. "Seriously, I was curious. I follow the martial arts news. I used to be a lot bigger into it. But shifted from a day job of training... to being a vigilante. Much more fulfilling." She assumes a neutral stance, making no aggressive motions.

Red Ranger has posed:
     Jason Scott Moves back towards a copse of trees that'll keep him out of the line of sight from the near by houses, his red hoodie something that the folks of Angel Grove would recognize in an instant. "That's kinda rude isn't it? Guy's minding his own buisness, stops competing because of the unfair advantage he's got and you go prying." he admonishes.. "so now what? curiosity satisfied, you're gonna go on about your life and leave me and my folks alone?" he asks warily..

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary nods. "I would never bother you and your folks." She gazes at you. "If you wish me to leave you be and never bother you again, I will." She follows, equally desiring anonymith for many might recognize one of Starling's main vigilantes. "I've had some experience with those with super-strength. I've even trained some of them in my time with Alpha Flight."

Red Ranger has posed:
     This has his intrest piqued as he focuses on the woman a bit more intently. "Trained them how?" he asks curiously..

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary smiles. "That's one of my specialities. Even super strength is useless against technique. And if you're fighting someone just as strong as you, the best technique will win." She ponders. "You know this community used to be peaceful, unlike the main part of Starling. Then there's all those monster and the new hero team, the Power Rangers... one must be ready to defefnd themselves against such things."

Red Ranger has posed:
     Jason Scott nods the 'watch' on his wrist beeping out an alarm. "Hey, I'm sorry to cut this short, but I should get back home, and get ready for school, you have some way I can contact you? an Email address or something, we can talk about this later, maybe spar if you're up for it." he says

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary nods as she smiles. "I don't do email." She does give you a mobile phone number. "I have an old warehouse in Starling that I use for my personal training. I'd love to see you there sometime." She nods as she steps away. "Enjoy your jog." She mounts the Harley and zooms away.

Red Ranger has posed:
     Jason Scott nods, and starts heading home, he needs to contact Tommy cause if he got found out by Canary, who knows who else might try to connect the dots..
