---

Cypher has posed:
Doug does not have what you'd call the killer instinct. Despite the edge his powers give him and a natural sort of sportiness, in a lot of ways, he'd fallen behind.

But what he does have, is a stubborn streak a mile wide. Right now, he's wincing, as he tapes up his ankle after he twisted it during an awkward move. "I can keep going," He says. "It's fine."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and says "We need to work on it a bit more, and get you to come in with the first hit some times. Ok, Come at me instead of you

Cypher has posed:
Doug gets to his feet, and winces, as he puts pressure on his ankle, but it holds his weight. He comes in and attacks Kim. He tends to keep his feet on the ground, and avoids the risk of throwing kicks, instead seeming to take more naturally to grapples and holds.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will see the ankle movement, and will move to to fake but then comes in for a hip toss, intentionally trying to send fake messages through his body towards the other

Cypher has posed:
Doug picks up on the fake-out like Tim was telegraphing, but doesn't have the skills to follow through -- he tries to block the throw, but leaves himself vulnerable to a hold in turn. "Owwwww! *Damn it*!"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will end up geting the othr man in a decent hold but does avoid the ankle "Ok, we have to get yu into more quick strikes." He helps doug up. "Holds are not your strength

Cypher has posed:
"...Only because I didn't want to dislocate your elbow or pull your arm out of its socket," Doug says, with a wince, as he gets to his feet. "I could see how to do it." Then he shakes his head, and says, "I don't have super-strength or speed. I need to be able to take people apart who are stronger and faster than I am, and I need to be able to do it fast."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "well what I was thinking more was someone stronger you get ahold of them they got ahold of you too more often than not, I was thinking more nerve strikes in, and out not letting them lay a hand on you"

Cypher has posed:
Doug takes a moment to catch his breath, and puts his hand on his back. "I'm never going to be a front-line fighter." Doug says, "But some of our enemies are real killers, Tim. Mystique, Sabretooth--I have to be able to *survive* them. That's what I'm worried about."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods, and says ""Another reason i was thinking not being around tp let hem get their hands on you, we will need to figure out your style, and if I can be front line why can';t you?

Cypher has posed:
Doug exhales, and says, "This is going to take a long time. And it's going to hurt." He says. He rolls his neck, and pops it, and then says, "Okay. More. Don't let up... just keep going until I am physically unable to get up."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake shakes his head, and says "Nope, cause right now, you do not need to be beat till you ca not get up, maybe more when the ankle heals, but remember I know a bit about training normal folks, and you consider yourself normal lal but the power right?

Cypher has posed:
"...Well I have great hair," Doug says, "But other than that, yes." He rolls his shoulders, slowly.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "I will teach you a lot of the stuff I was taught your starting later but you should be able to build on it"

Cypher has posed:
Doug inhales, and then says, "...Okay." He squares the way he's standing. "I just..." He exhales, "I need to do this. I need to know how to take men apart, and stay alive."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods his head and says "You will be able to fight but it is gogin to take time.

Cypher has posed:
Doug closes his eyes. "I'll learn. Just teach me. Do whatever you have to..." He steels himself. "I can take it."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods a bit to this and says "You need time to heal, and if you press to hard you will hender more than help

Cypher has posed:
Doug squeezes his eyes shut, and then says, "...I'd really like to put an ice pack on this ankle and listen to an audiobook, yeah. But... I can keep going."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "Go home get some rest, we will have more time to work on it"
