"Yeah, just imagine.....you're in a building, and theres a room filled with villians. You need to breach the door, but they've got every entrance locked in, so you cant get in safely.....but then, suddenly, the entire room is filled with flashbangs cause you just gave the entire team one with your quirk. Hell, you could probably expand from grenades and make proper breaching charges with it, if you wanted." Red'd explain, a similarly evil smirk on his face to Jaz. If you didnt know any better, you'd probably easily be able to confuse the two for scheming to rob a bank, not suggesting things for eachothers quirks.......actually, thinking about it, Red suddenly wondered if Jaz could make thermite with her quirk.....hypothetically, of course, with no ulterior motive whatsoever behind it.
"....Yeah, Unfortunatly." Red'd answer Jaz's question, the image of that blonde bastard materalising in his mind for a second. It took a lot in him to not just spit on the floor in disgust at the guys name, but the venom on his tongue was pretty obvious. Kirk might have been an unwilling or....well, willing but didnt understand the situation or....something like that, when it came to what happened with Yumi, but Darren? It was entirely that pricks fault....god it was a good thing that he'd fucked off back to wherever he came from around that time, Red would tried to rip him in half....and probably failed cause it was Darren and he was one of the best fighters in the school.....God he hated how he still respected that.
"Yeah, i can do something similar to that, as you saw earlier. Well, the basic version. Since you're working with Fire and not pure kinetic energy though, you could probably make your strikes even more inpredictable. For example, even if you miss a kick, you could fab some flames around your leg to atleast burn the guy a bite while he blocks it/ barely manages to dodge it. Or shoot them out at him as your leg goes past. That'd be real bloody useful in a fight." Red would add on to Jaz's idea, nodding along with her. She really did know her stuff, it was almost like she'd never left the damn place.
"Yeah Feng, it'd be hard to do the mirage thing, especially without somethin to regulate yourself so you dont overdo it, but if you can figure it out then you'd be hell to fight in close quarters. Imagine, you;re fighting a dude, and he goes to punch you. If you activate that, what he'll see is you going for a cross counter or something, a dual exchange, while instead, you've ducked down and are prepping to smash his fuckin face off with your leg." Red'd explain, as Feng tried out the new combat trick Jaz had shown her. It looked like she was a natural at it.
"Ah, figured you'd want a demo. Well, its pretty simple really. As i said, the quirks momentum based, but that doesnt mean i have to actually move for it to work. For example.... Red would say, popping the wheels off of his skates, rolling a couple of feet away, and starting to burn out with them. "Its pretty much ANY momentum that i create that counts. So, burning out counts, sticking my head out of a car counts, ETC. When that happens, i can do this." He'd demonstate, firing a more usual, big airblast off in another direction, harmlessly.
"So, as you can see, it works with burnouts. Now, if we apply the burnout method to other things, then you get my cuffs. On their own, they are pretty much just a mini turbine disk....thing that spins round my wrist, completely harmless. But, if i turn em on......then i can do this." Red would explain, as he walked over to the cinder block he had previously barely dented, picked it up, threw it into the air and then smashed it with the back of his clentched fist, completely obliterating it using the same technique Jaz and Feng had just shown off.
"With these things on, i pretty much dont have to actually move at all. Sure, i get more bang for my buck if i move and use these, but i could probably knock a guy out just with these....and, since they pretty much allow me to generate constantly....i can do stuff like this. He'd continue to demonstrate, picking up another block, throwing it up, and slicing it in two with a small wind blade he conjoured out of thin air.
"Problem is though, due to the way i make em, i cant actually blunt them. These things are sharp as fuck, cause i have to constantly generate and dont have the brainpower required to focus on keeping the shape AND lowering the sharpness at the same time....which i why i have the hilts. Using those as a base, and the fact they can generate mostly on their own with another turbine in the hilt, i can actually use the damn things without hurting anyone too bad or cutting my own arm up. I can shoot the things out too, trigger right here" He'd keep demonstrating, tossing another block up and planning on whacking it with a blunt sword from one of the hilts.....but he missed.
Cause Feng tried to suggest he could fly.
Slowly, he'd go from holding the blade up to having it pointing on the ground, it slowly dissipating into the air around them. He'd raise his head up to look at the ceiling, though he was clearly looking past it, with an almost....sad, meloncholic expression on his face, his eyes almost seeming....lifeless, for brief moment. He'd let out a few weak, half hearted, awkward chuckles before he spoke.
"....Yeah uhhh....thats ummmm...no dice right there Feng. As much as i would love for it to work, its just not possible. The stamina i'd need for it to work would be insane, and....well, as i said, i cant keep the wind on me for long so........yeah, no flight. The best i can do is...just blast my self upwards, kinda like you do but....It aint exactly flight. As much as i dream about it....... I aint got no wings so....i always end up crashing back down to the ground....So im just....stuck down here....i guess....no matter how hard i try and get my arse up there..... He'd trail off, a solemn smile on his face contridicting the lament in his voice.......God how he wished he could find his wings one day....
"....A-Anyway, what were we talkin about? Oh yeah, Quirk stuff. So yeah, as you can see......" He'd switch gears right back to before Feng mentioned it, demostrating a few more things. Like the barrels in his cuffs that let him fire bullets like Jaz did with her explosions, how he moved with his gear, showing off a few skate tricks, that kinda stuff. He didnt wanna think about his dream right now........
After all, the last time he'd thought about it was around six months ago.....Hadnt really thought about it since then.
