Yusaku was quite excited today. Today was going to be a special day for him. Yes, he was going to train all day. But not just any normal training. He would be training with Yumi, one of his dearest friends. At the eve of the third year at Yuuei, he was going to be training all day. Best of all, this was going to be Jackrabbit training. That meaning that Yumi was going to be wearing him for the session and run around as a lightning infused robobunny, so that he could pick up on her movements faster and generally get more used to his quirk in general. It never hurt.
He always adored pilot training, especially with Yumi capable of boosting and surging his systems with her innate electricity. As he walked into the small gym he had booked for their use, he launched a small scan of his systems to make sure everything would be top notch. From what she had told him, they were going to try out and see if he could use his tazer paws for more than just shocks. In short, Yumi wanted to see if he could shoot some lightning around.
Yusaku didn't know if he could muster the precision Yumi had when it came to electrokinetics, but he could probably get a few pointers from it all and simply improve his energy control. While not super awesome like lightning shooting, it would still be an improvement for him. Perhaps he could also ask her how to use energy to hover...or maybe she could help him make his paw pads magnetic so that he could stick to walls or something like that.
Either way, Yusaku sad down and patiently waited for his friend to arrive. She was never late, so it'd just be a matter of minutes...

Yumi wasn’t too sure about today she had to admit. She wanted to spend time with Yusaku for sure. Ever since they’d broken up she wanted to make it clear they could still be friends, close friends even, but… yeah. It potentially might still be a bit awkward. Not only that but Yumi wasn’t too sure how well she could teach Yusaku to channel his own electricity or how well she could channel it through him. Her own costume was needed for a lot of the legwork when it came to controlling her own quirk afterall, and she’d learned at the exhibition festival that she needed a lot of precise conditions even then. The moment the air got damp a lot of the instinctive calculations she made to output her electricity a certain way got… well, fucked up, to put it crudely.
Still… she wanted to be a teacher, and it wasn’t like anyone could understand eachothers quirk any better than the next person. They were all very unique biological processes that no one could ever really get a grasp on if they didn’t have it. Yumi still needed to try her best whatever the case, and so, suited up in the winter edition of her hero costume (fingertips and midrift covered, basically a full body suit with a high neck), she headed to the training area Yuzaku had booked, raising a hand to him as she spotted him across the field.
“Hey Yuyu. How ya doin? Been waiting long?” She asked, it did take her a little more time to get in and out of her winter suit than the others, but it wouldn’t have been more than a handful of minutes that Yusaku had been waiting at most. “So what ya wanna start with today? You wanna spar or anything or…. Get right to the pilot stuff?” She supposed that was one advantage, she could literally feel what he was feeling…

"Yumi!" Yusaku squealed, hopping off the place he was waiting around on. "I'm doing quite good, you?" he asked, even if with a slight awkwardness in his movements as he went over to hug her. "Oh, it's fine! I wasn't here long at all." He quickly intercepted her question. He didn't really wait a whole lot and even if he did, it was not going to be a big deal.
The robot tilted his head to the side as he picked up Yumi's uncertainty. "Uhm...well. I was hoping you could show me how you do your shooty thing first you know." He replied, waving around his paws in the same way his friend used to do before shooting lighting out of her hands. In his case, his paws just sparkled lightly. "I uhm...might have recorded the way you move..." He mumbled, this time with palpable awkwardness in his tone. "But I have no idea on how you...well...how you make electricity go where you want it to go." He concluded. "No need to rush straight to Jackrabbit mode straight away. Besides, you've like...gotten even stronger than last time I heard. Hell, people say you're the strongest quirk in school. I might need a moment to adjust to your new output."

“Hhehehe. Hey Yusaku.” She repeated to his excited chime as she arrived. As the robot went to hug her she gave a mildly awkward pat of his head between his metallic ears herself. Ya know someday she might ask why the powersuits some weird government department, or defense contractor or… whatever, were making had made the powersuit animal themed but… today wasn’t the day she was gonna brave asking that weird of a question. Heck she felt it was weird she even felt the need to ask to begin with. “Heh, I know I know. Still, I coulda been here sooner if I pushed.” She shrugged a little nervously, rubbing at the side of her neck as Yusaku got to explaining what he wanted to focus their training on today.
“Shooty thi- oh. Oh so you wanna see if we can figure out how to get your electricity going a long range right? Well…” She looked down to her own hands. While in her hero suit she hadn’t charged up yet so her skin was still it’s usual peachy color, flexing her fingers in and out of her palm, sharp little sparks emitting between them but little else as she got a handle on how she might do this. If her hopes came true she’d be a teacher one day, teaching people how to use quirks she’d never get to experience personally. This could be some good practice of concept…
“Well… for me a lot of it is based on instinct, from just using this quirk all my life, but we can try a few things.” She offered a warm smile, pulling in her arms with tight fists and finally ‘charging up, a fine blue coating of electrical energy flowing over her body as she activated her quirk, rolling her head back and working out the kinks in her neck a bit before striding to a more open space in the training area. “So, how about you describe what it’s like for you right now? I mean how does it ‘feel’. I know a lot of senses are foreign to you being… well. Ya know. But we need to establish a good idea of how it registers in your head and we can work from there. Sound like a plan?”
It was the best one Yumi had for now as it basically might be useless to her in the end, but she hoped if she had a strong idea of how Yusaku had to… ‘pull his muscles’, or gears as the case may be, he may be better able to describe how she does the same thing in a way he can relate to, and, ultimately, pull it off himself.

Yusaku looked down at his own hands. Instinct uh? Well it sure would look that way when your quirk is basically just another muscle you train to do things. He didn't have the same quirk as his friend so he did not know what she was going through when she decided to electrify things. He could at the very least try and make an effort to explain how it felt on his side though. That would help her understand his innerworkings.
"Uuhm...it's like...mhh...this is hard to explain..." Yusaku mused, wiggling his big paws he had for hads around trying to get his bearings. "Right right so. Remeber when we were together? Now when you pass your electricity through me and I try to focus it, it's like uuuhm... a tigle." He stated, hopping closer to her and very gently poking her shoulder.
"It starts from right here...and then it goes aaaaaal the way around" he explained, tracing his finger down Yumi's arm. "And then it ends here when it leaves my paw and shoots forward." He would conclude, softly placing his paw into Yumi's hand. For a few moments."
His tail would start to wag slowly. He washappy to see her again. Despite all that happened...Yumi was and always will be someone Yusaku cared about so so much.
"But when I do it on my own, it's also like a tingle...but less of one. And it starts from h-here." He would add, lifing his other free hand and very gently placing it down on the girl's chest as he pointed at where her heart ould be. He was slightly embarassed about the gesture but didn't try to hide it. He knew Yumi knew how to read his emotions like an open book. There was little he could hide to her after all the time she had known him.

Yumi was patient and calm as Yusaku explained to her how things felt when he tried to use his quirk, and how it felt when she used her quirk with him. Actually it made a lot of sense what he was trying to explain cause it was similar to how she herself felt it. "To me it's less of a tingle more like I'm... tensing my muscles but..." She paused for a moment, noticing how his paw rested in her hand. She shared little more than a warm smile, lightly squeezing his paw in her hand and slipping her hand from his, and shifting the hand on his chest. She wasn't dismissive, or trying to be rude, but as much as she still cared for Yusaku it was probably best they not upset eachother by lingering on any intimate moments like that.
"It does start from my shoulder." She continued, resting a hand on her shoulder. "Or well, it can, depending on how big I want the blast to be. When I just wanna shock someone with a touch i just tense the muscles in my hand, but the further up I go the more intense a shot I'm making... like-"
She turned to face the open space in the training area, her hand outstretched. "Hand-" Some sparks generated from her palm but didn't go far. "Forearm." She whipped her hand out, a stream of electricity fired that dissipated after a few meters. She held her wrist with her other hand, steadying for her next shot. "Bicep." This short seemed to cover most of the room, but still fizzled out towards the wall. "And shoulder!" She solidified her whole stance to handle the kickback this time, firing a blast that hit the end wall and left a deep scorch in the wall itself.
Straightening up, she shook out her arm, her charged state fading. "If your already starting from your chest though... maybe try working on making it more consistant. Like, if it comes from your chest and flows down your arm, try starting the sensation from your hand, then your arm, then your chest.~ If you make sure everything in the way is already overloaded, maybe the surge from your chest will be enough to push it the rest of the way and fire out something a bit more long ranged for you?" She didn't know if this'd be much to really work off of, but she hoped it'd work out.

Yusaku quieted down, looking at his friend perform and then at his own paw. So, for her it worked similarly, but she only used parts of her body to limit the strenght of the blast. Interesting. She definitely didn't have any batteries inside her so her stuff would have to come from her cells. Still, he could copycat the stance and imitated her motions, maybe that would net him some sort of progress on zapping people at a distance.
He clumsily shifted his weight around, having some trouble balancing the same way Yumi did due to the fact that he had a tail behind his back shifting his center of mass further down than what most people would be accustomed to, until he was in the same firing position as Yumi. The first time he tried to fire off the pulse nothing really happened, which in turn made Yusaku's pointy ears wilt a little. The second time, he tried the same motion his friend did when she fired a chest shot. This time, his claws sparkled and crackled, but no long range shot yet.
He fumbled around to correct his stance and then tried again. More sparkling but nothing more. Yusaku dropped his hand down and "sighed" so to speak as he turned his green eyes over to the redhead. "Do you...like...have to tense up your whole body too before you shoot? Like, stiffen up your legs or something like that?"

Yumi watched as Yusaku seemed to try and imitate her exactly, leaning back against a nearby pillar in the training hall and giving him some space to practice and work with it. She wondered if he was maybe trying a little too hard to imitate her when they were so different physically, and heck, even if they were both fleshy people there was no guarantee that 2 electric quirks would have ended up working the same. She watched as he tried a handful of times, but the most he seemed to get was sparks, humming a little at his question.
"Well, I think for starters you shouldn't try and imitate what I did to the exact level. I mean." She mimicked the stance he'd chosen, the one she'd taken earlier, and fired a shot. "I can shoot a shot just as easily like this or-" She shifted back, a more lax stance, her palm aimed skyward and firing a shot at the ceiling that fizzled out before it did any damage. "Like this. It's not some perfect technique like golf or a sport. It's about just doing what works for you to get results? Your at least managing sparks though right? For me I don't need to tense my whole body, but maybe you do to get the necessary charge. Why don't we try that?~"

Yusaku hummed as more exposition was laid out to him. He looked at his paws then forward. He tried the motions again a few more times. In a couple occasions he had managed to shoot lightning, though the blast was either too small or incredibly off target.
The robot huffed, dropping his hand. There must be a better wayf getting through the motions...wait...what if...
The cat turned around tuwards Yumi. "What if we merge into Jackrabbit for a while like old times? That way you can do your shooty shooty stuff and I can analyze your movements." He asked, poking his indexes together. "D-don't get me wrong you're a great teacher it's just that...you know. At the end of the day I learn more when I am with people you know..."
It was true, most of the stuff he had learned through the years was the stuff he experienced through other people. Be it Goro's street fighting or Yumi's long range style. There was much he could gain by combining with others. In the end it was what his body had originally been programmed to do.
"B-besides, I kinda miss the times when we used to go to the cinema or walk around together..." He would also mumble.

"..." Yumi took a long, slow breath. She wasn't even surprised that she wasn't surprised by it coming to this. Yusaku needed that sort of thing to feel comfortable it seemed. She folded her arms for a moment, thinking on it. Would it actually be good for him? To learn by experiencing it through her touch? She wasn't so sure. At the end of the day they were still two seperate bodies, and they worked vastly differently. Just because she could... to use a gross example, spit, by mouth her mouth a specific way, it didn't mean Yusaku could suddenly spit because he tried to mimic her motions...
"Right. Yusaku I... I don't think it will help. I think our bodies are vastly different and you trying to learn just by copying me isn't going to work. Maybe it will but... I don't personally think so. I think you'll learn to do what I do, and it still won't work, and you'll just end up convincing yourself that it's because you didn't stay on me long enough or something but..." She let out another heavy sigh, offering her hand out in a way that seemed to over her whole arm to him in the same motion.
"If you really think it will help I won't stop you either. I do wanna see you improve and get better but... whether it does or dosn't work I think you should realize it's still going to have been your own skill that got you there and..." She shook her head, she wasn't good at all this smart talk and she had to be honest. "At the end of the day just remember you're your own person okay? I don't mind spending time with you, hanging out with you, training with you... but you're more Yusaku than you are Jack rabbit or any other names you make up with your friends... but if you wanna be Jack rabbit, and you think that's how you have to learn... go ahead."

Yusaku gave her a nod. "I know. I know. You've been telling me that alot." He replied, tapping his chest. "You don't need to worry about me though. I have grown alot all these years. Mostly thanks to you too. I might not be as powerful as you are but unlike the first times we merged, I am able to do stuff on my own now."
He would gently grab her hand in his paw and chuckled. "You are right. How I go about learning how to shoot lightning depends on me alone, but that doesnt mean I can't ask others to help me. You know. Strong alone, stronger together. Besides, I can't say it doesn't work until I try. All this time I have been learning alot while someone else was piloting me."
Yusaku's body got taller and lean as he changed his plating around, morphing his shell from cat to bunny. He let go of her hand. "Oh and it's not to copy your movements. I don't need that. What I want to take a look at is the way you go about shaping the charge inside you and see if it matches my style or not. I can't measure those values unless you wear me for a while."
He was telling the truth. Perhaps he couldn't do it the Yumi way because he charged up differently.
"Though I don't wanna force your hand. So it's up to you if you want to do things together or not. Though once we're done I promise I'll do more training on my own. I can't ask you to waste all your time here either. It's a... just for today thing alright?"

He had a point, one she accepted easily. There was no evidence this did or didn't work until they tried and with a long deep breath Yumi accepted the chance this could really help him out. She wasn't entirely comfortable with that possibility, she didn't want armoring people to be a sort of crutch Nightshade relied on to learn, a crutch no one else could lean on and that could be a detriment if he leaned on it too heavily but... well, if he insisted. "Just... remember that you can always learn without this. It'll be harder, and it'll take more time but... well it's something everyone else has to do ya know? Sometimes it's not best to take the easy way out."
He explained a bit more what the purpose of this all was and she felt a little more at ease, but she didn't make any direct comments. She wasn't so sure how that worked but hey, he was the robot, not her. Watching him shift forms into the one she remembered as Jackrabbit, she took a slow breath and nodded along. "Its... its alright really. I'll aceept it and you can learn whatever you need to just er... open up."
Assuming he did part his plates to let her step in, she'd turn about and back up into his frame, remembering the soft padding on the inside of him and letting out a slow breath as she just settled into place inside of him. She wasn't entirely happy their training had turned to this but she was willing to give it a shot, feeling him close around her and getting used to the feeling again, stretching her arms up over her head, and then bouncing to either side, bending one knee as she stretched out the other, getting a feel for the sensation she hadn't had to feel in quite some time again.

Well, as far as Yusaku knew, she hadn't lost her touch. If anything, she had gotten taller.
Yusaku's body stretched to welcome Yumi within his padded inside. Once the robot had squeezed around his friend and locked himself shut he passively observed her stretching motions as she got used to the small added weight on her shoulders and the pointy ears on her head. He was definitely happy he got to spend some time with her tho, regardless of training.
"Alright, all suited up and ready." He chimed in her ears, having adjusted to her proplrtions. "So uhm...how about you do whatever? Like...shoot around a bit or something like that. Hell, if we really want we could bounce outside like we usually did. I know you like fresh hair."
He hadn't really thought of the specific thing they could do, he didnt really need a specific thing either. He just needed to record the feelings when she passed electricty through him to shoot. He could do wonders by knowing the charge and the amount of energy she used. He could definitely elaborate a shooting profile of his own.
"Hm...you're a little tense. Something wrong? Am I too tight?" The robot inquired, curious of her inner thoughts as she kept stretching around.

As the suit locked in around her, Yumi hopped a few times off her heals. Despite the added weight she still felt just as mobile thanks to the suit aiding her motions, somehow managing to make her feel both heavier and lighter at the same time. Once she was quite alright with it, it was oddly thrilling but now… it felt almost suffocating. She could breathe, sure but… she knew what Yusaku got out of this experience. It seemed to be his idea that it was the only way he could connect with people or experience things… at least that was the impression she’d been left with back when…
Well, y’know.
“Sure. Sure.” Getting the last of the nerves out of her system she took a slow breath and with another hop bounded up much higher than before, a burst of electricity through the pads of her feet through Yusaku send her bounding up into the air and falling safely with a cushion of electrical discharge to soften her fall. Hopping left to right, she kept her breathing easy. With Yusaku ‘in the way’ so to speak, she had to calculate her discharge differently than when she was in her hero costume, but she’d gotten used to making adjustments like that on the fly. Once she felt at ease and like she could handle the shifted output, she started to fire.
A dart to the left, she fired a bolt dead ahead with her right, falling into a roll and then firing off two more quick blasts. It wasn’t stationary or focused but she was effectively running through the drills she’d give herself at the target range in school, trying to keep herself moving and on her toes, having to constantly make mental adjustments to the output and trying to make her bolts weak enough that they didn’t reach and thus scorch the far wall.
“I’m fine just…” She let the sentence trail off, she’d been through this with him already and she didn’t feel like repeating herself again. “I’m fine.”

The robot whispered ooh and aaah in Yumi's ears as their combined form went through some basic routines. Outside of the first pointer, Yusaku didn't ask for much else. He just took notes of hos Yumi interacted with electricity and used it. After just that little thing, he was pretty much able to figure out something for himself. He would need to do it in a different kinda way but he could do it.
"I've known you for a long time." Yusaku said as he noticed Yumi's distress. It was probably that recurring thought of hers. "You fear I am too dependent on others. That is why you suddenly stopped liking our time together."
The robot squeezed lightly around his friend's body as to convey a hug. "A few years back,I was. But it's thanks to people like you that I have grown into what I am today. Though while I am strong alone, I am stronger together with the people that care about me. A hero is nothing without friends and family there to keep them going if they slip and fall."
He paused for a moment, glancing at their paw. "But I guess it's the hero's job to get back up and keep walking. We'll both graduate soon...which means our path may diverge away from eachother for a while..." Who knows what would happen. He was going on to become a professional hero, he was sure Yumi had her own plans too. "But don't worry. I will keep trying to get better with my own streght. I will make sure that I can protect the people I love from harm."
Yusaku's plates shifted slightly. It had been a while since he was a bunny. He needed to adjust to Yumi's updated silhouette too.
"Buuut that's enough melodramatic stuff. I know you hate it. Either way, I think I figured out a way to shoot electricity blasts. I'll need time to create the whole process that work for me on my own, but for the time being you can hop out if you want, I got all the data I needed...I think. Unless you're fine wearing me for a while more, that works too. I would need a little time to properly adjust myself to you but after that we can go for a walk outside like we used to. We could walk somewhere defused too. Up to you, really."
