The Gym- Sunday Night

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Edward Hyde was working on a punching bag, and destroying it in the process. Hey, it was the punching bag's fault that it wasn't made of sterner stuff.
Maybe someone else around here was. Hyde was eager to crush some superpowers.

[ooc: The Gym of course this didn't just say "The Salle" a minute ago. Your eyes must be playing tricks on you is open, and Edward's looking for a fight.]

"No," Edward replied, "it's just not interesting when the woman's unattractive."

"Unattractive?" Cassie said. "What, sorry, the fact I don't have pornstar boobs means I'm not pretty?"

The future-talk went over his head, but sentiment did not. Still, the last thing he wanted to do was to get in some womanish catfight over looks that really weren't worth it. He shrugged and continued to hit the punching bag.

"...so you do only do well when they don't fight back," Cassie said. She started pulling off her shirt to reveal her unstable molecule suit underneath.

Edward walked over to look Cassie in the eye. "You can stop begging, woman. If you wanted to fight me you should have just asked when you came in."

Cassie finished removing her normal clothes and put on her mask. "I wasn't wanting to, then. Then you got rude."

And then she grew in size to look Hyde right in the eyes.

Edward's eyes widened a little, surprised and amused. "Neat trick." He pulled back his arm and sent a fist at her.

Cassie was almost knocked clear off her feet from the punch, wincing as she staggered back. "That's gonna bruise, dammit," she said. She grew a few more feet in height and went to return the punch with one of her own.

Edward took the punch, grimacing a little. He wasn't very fast on his feet, but usually punches didn't hurt him. He hoped that Cassie wouldn't be getting any bigger.
He aimed another punch. Unrefined, perhaps, but they weren't exactly being judged on style.

The problem with being big meant dodging was pretty much impossible, so Cassie took another punch which knocked he back violently into a wall. She did her best to shake it off and went in, trying for a headlock.

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Edward was too slow to dodge it. How immensely annoying. To be headlocked by a woman. He ducked down, trying to toss her off.

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

Cassie barely managed to keep her grip, trying to slip behind him to get a sleeper hold.

And suddenly this felt really, really familiar.

"Arrgh!" Edward bellowed. He couldn't seem to shake her. It was the type of spineless thing that Griffin might do.
And that pissed him off.
Edward took a run forward and somersaulted into the ground. Let's see her keep her grip after that.

Cassie's grip broke as she landed hard. She coughed and sputtered. "Ow, dammit... you win," she said. She really had turned into a quitter. "I just hope I didn't break anything."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Edward was surprised. It was over?
Usually, he'd continue things anyway, but he was a little impressed. "Good fight," he said, "if short. Better 'n I've had in quite a while."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"...just think maybe my temper got set off," Cassie said, picking herself off the ground. "And maybe we might accidentally break the gym if we continue." She winced. She'd have bruises, that's for sure. "What's your name?"

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

He grinned at the 'breaking the gym' crack, but remembered that they weren't supposed to be on good terms. He quickly set the scowl back on his face. "Edward Hyde."
He rubbed the back of his neck. It was still a little sore from the headlock, but he'd be damned before he admitted it.

. . .

No wonder there was a creepy familiar feeling.

"Unique name," she lied.

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Edward wasn't too keen on the look he was getting.
"Y'know, during introductions, it is customary to respond with one's own name."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Sorry. Cassie Lang," she said, taking off her mask and pocketing it as she shrunk down to normal size. "You got a heck of a punch."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

"Cassie Lang..." Edward mused. Why did that ring a bell? It takes a second, but he's got it. "Ant Girl. You're in the Superheroing class."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Cassie said. "Can't say I've seen you there, though."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Edward just chuckled at that. "You will."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Guess so," Cassie said, sitting down to catch her breath. "Hard to miss a guy like you."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

"You'd be surprised. I have a habit of blending in with the crowd."
Did he have fun talking in hints? Did it irk the hell out of Henry? Those would both be a big yes.
