Oh no. Oh, no no no.
[break][break]
Rhys's tenuous navigation along the swaying bridge was arrested at the sight of Aqua agents arriving at the fringes of the city, their boats navigating the sloughing waters with practiced ease. "No, we've got to move, they're going to break into the Pokemon Center-"
[break][break]
But he couldn't move fast enough. ameena abadi and her Gardevoir were ahead of him, and the bridge was barely holding as it was. Though it was difficult for him to even consider mounting an attack or distraction from this rickety vantage point, the invading duo were under no such compunction, and the Kabutops bursting from the waters below the bridge was enough to take him nearly completely by surprise.
[break][break]
'Nearly', in this case, turned out to be good enough - for one of the Rockets, at least. With a yell, Rhys lurched forward, ungracefully shoving Ameena and her Gardevoir further along the bridge before the Rock-type burst upward, its scythe-like arms severing the bridge as though it were paper and scoring a deep laceration along Rhys's side in the bargain.
[break][break]
Rhys's cry of pain was lost in the torrential downpour and the crack-snap-snick of the bridge collapsing; Ameena and her Gardevoir were nearly to the next solid platform, but Rhys found himself falling with the length of the bridge, several wooden slats breaking off to spin aimlessly in the deluge below. His fall was arrested just before he found himself submerged, and he clung to the mass of vines and wood with all the tenacity he could muster, his wound burning.
[break][break]
His Goodra was not so lucky, the slimy drake landing in the water and becoming, for a moment, nearly indistinguishable with the slough. His head soon surfaced, however, and he mounted the MUDDY WATER into a violent surge that boiled upward toward the attacking Kabutops, heedless of his trainer's precarious position.

Rhys took direction as well as the next Grunt - or better, he privately thought, given some Grunts he'd run across during his tenure - but even splitting the notion of a fighting stance into its component parts left him feeling stiff and unwieldy by the time he'd followed each of Zev's directions.
[break][break]
The man's slight adjustments to his posture resulted in a framework that felt more natural, his joints less mechanical, and not for the first time the notion of physical activity baffled him - even with his education, even with him following each prompt exactly as stated, it wasn't right. Now it was - he supposed fighting was an art as much as it was a science, in that respect.
[break][break]
Nodding, he took a few experimental shuffles to the back, then forward. It made sense, but it wasn't something he'd have thought of; if he tangled his feet and tripped, he'd lose the engagement before he ever landed a blow.
[break][break]
He voiced as much to the other man, and added a query of his own, based on his limited brawling experience with one particular Leaguer: "How do you make the right decision, quickly? Dodging, standing firm, or trying to, say, trip them up? I've never felt less prepared than when this man was running at me with a hunting knife."

Your threatening actions confirm his assumptions. He was expecting something like this from a Rocket operative. [break][break]

"Why should I tell you anything?" He asks, indignant, as he narrows his eyes at the two of you.

Rhys wished he could pinch the bridge of his nose or perhaps rub his temples to assuage the headache that threatened to set in, but showing any level of discomfort in front of their impromptu trove of information would doubtless reflect badly on his performance review.
[break][break]
His mood lightened significantly as the food presented itself, and while he privately marveled at the other woman's idea of psychological torture, he was more excited about birria. "Oh, yes, I ordered an extra just in case you wanted some!" he effused, grinning at the man. He peered at the two foil-wrapped tacos as though waiting for the rest of his order to materialize, then moved to squint into the bag.
[break][break]
Fucking Doordash forgot his broth.
[break][break]
His attitude plummeted, and he scowled at the man, shivering from the recent blow he'd taken from Parker. "How about it? Boring food for your thoughts?"
[break][break]
The man regarded him blankly, shrinking back in his chair, and Rhys rolled his eyes, throwing the foil-wrapped packet back on the table. "Fine. Don't suppose I would, either, without the sauce. Let's see..."
[break][break]
He rummaged through his satchel, withdrawing at length a chrome autoinjector that he drew out with a triumphant grunt. "Ha, there we are. Let's try this, you think?" he raised an eyebrow at Parker, moving to twist a knob at the base of the injector, causing it to ready itself with a soft hiss. "It's experimental, and we might not get a lot out of him while he's screaming, but if he's not dead by the end of it, we should be in business."
[break][break]
He winked at the bound man, pressing the injector against his neck.
[break][break]

Threaten.

Rhys couldn't tell whether he'd been struck by a stroke of luck or simply been targeted as a grunt to toy with. Proximity to Zev Harcourt had been something of an intermittently common occurrence, these days, and he had to admit he had a bit of a chip on his shoulder after performing so abysmally in the SPECTRA Gauntlet.
[break][break]
Irony would, of course, have it that the one directly responsible for his failure was the one he'd been assigned to partner with in patrolling the simulation's Fortree City. He couldn't be too bitter, at least - he'd given as good as he'd got, and she hadn't made it any further than he had. At least they were equally strong.
[break][break]
Or weak.
[break][break]
"Ready when you are, ma'am," he quipped back to her initial query; the path through Fortree wasn't a difficult one, but the citizens' insistence on arboreal housing made it tedious to navigate. He proceeded behind Ameena, with his Goodra bringing up the rear, footsteps sloshing behind him. "I would think the defenses would be fine," he agreed blandly, "But I imagine it's that kind of thinking that loses fortifications."
[break][break]
The snap of a wood plank drew his attention as Ameena suddenly shortened herself, gripping on to the sides of the bridge as her leg went straight through the space where one of the slats formerly existed. "Oh, damn, here." Rhys crouched, the bridge swaying unsteadily from the sudden action of Ameena's near fall, and carefully assisted her in pulling herself back up to the bridge proper.
[break][break]
"Well, maybe the defenses are fine, but the infrastructure could use some work. Perhaps we snag a carpenter on the way?" Humor wasn't likely the accepted reaction to things going counter to plan, but Rhys found that it helped him cope, as it were.
[break][break]
Stepping carefully over the absent board, he pointed down to the ground. "Let's check on the Pokemon Center first, ensure that the fortifications are in place. We'll all be up a creek if medical aid goes down."

Rhys didn't know what he'd expected, really, although he wasn't about to voice his surprise. If anyone had told him a year ago - or, hell, even a week ago - that he'd land a one-on-one training session with the scariest man he'd come across so far in Rocket, Rhys would have laughed them out of the room.
[break][break]
He reflected as he did his push-ups that he wouldn't have expected the training to be so...well, gym class. Still, as Zev had said, it was a baseline, and that was a concept Rhys was familiar with, albeit perhaps not in this particular context; you had to know where you were starting from to know where to go, true of any experiment.
[break][break]
Pull-ups were not part of his regular rotation, and he cursed internally as he worked through them, his arms burning. At least he felt reasonably about his progress through the testing; he wasn't a professional athlete, but he wasn't a couch potato either - a state that could and did sneak up on the most perceptive of scientific minds if they weren't careful.
[break][break]
Rhys had never allowed himself that level of complacency, and as he ran on the treadmill - exhausted but still going - he briefly thanked his past self for ensuring that he wasn't giving a worse performance now.
[break][break]
The water bottle was a relief, and he gulped a third of it down immediately before remembering to moderate himself. "Middling," he admitted, glancing at the Beast. "Push-ups and jogging I'm used to, but it's been a while since I was on the wrong side of a pull-up bar," he commented wryly.
