Meditating.

“The feeling is mutual, Cassandra. I consider you a friend. I’m very lucky to be able to do so.”

Shang-Chi spun around as she evaded the last of his punches, keeping his hands up. He was impressed. The two had sparred a couple of times and just when he thought he understood her, Cassandra pulled out a new trick. “Hm.” He reached behind him and grabbed two Kali sticks off of the wall. —

He tripped down and rolled backwards, then hopped up this feet. He paced their battleground in a circle for one full rotation before leaping back in with a back fist to her face, then closed the gap between them. He wanted to overwhelm her, so he began to deliver a chain of punches, walking —

Sure she had seen him. Studies him, sure. But he took pride in how unpredictable he was. He lunged forward with a straight punch, but faked out of it, quickly raising his leg and foot to the side of her head.

“I would.” The last time he sparred with Cassandra was the most fun he had in a long time. She was fast and sharp witted. Her punches packed power behind them. She understood the true nature of Martial Art. To flow.

“Ah.” He nodded. “I hope I’m not intruding. I just wanted to see you, friend.” He turned to look at her training set up, then at all the broken boards and deflated bags on the floor. “I’m very impressed.” He walked over to the center of the mat, then put his hands up. “But —

“Wanted to pay you a visit. Haven’t heard from you in a few weeks.” He removed his shoes and stepped on to the mat, walking over to where she was. “Have I done something to upset you?”

Shang leaned against the wall behind her, arms crossed and watching as she struck the bag. A surprise visit. But he didn’t want to interrupt her flow, so he just watched.

“My name is Shang-Chi. You’re the Juggernaut. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“I sense that you’re lying.”

Everything okay?

Opens one eye up. “Yes, 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓?“

He could definitely read her body language. He was slightly embarrassed. He’ll leave the fear tactics to her. “That look.” He followed along with her. “I’m aware my intimidation factor is very low.” Dressed in a bright red wing-chun gi, he was far from intimidating. Perhaps he could —

As the car swerved frantically, he flipped off of it and landed safely on his feet. The front end smoked as the two perpetrators crawled out. Grabbing one by the collar, he held him up against the trunk. “Do you know how much damage you’ve caused? How many people you could have —

Shang-Chi followed suit by climbing and leaping up from windowsills and fire escapes, free running along with her across the Gotham skyline. As they hopped, skipped and jumped cars zipped and zoomed underneath them. One was causing much more trouble than the rest. A red sedan knocking —

“Very well then.” Shang-Chi gave the thieves one final look before stepping over them. Tonight was his first night in Gotham. He was curious to see what else it had in store. “Where to next?” He inquired.

|| wait so is the starter good or should i make a new one 😳😳

@mysticalphysician.bsky.social Walking into the Sanctum, Shang took a look around. It was a total mess. And Stephen normally kept it quite organized. “Stephen.” Shang paused in the doorway of one of the many, many libraries. “I’ve come to check in on you, friend.” He eyed the large —

“That I know. But each of them hit their heads on the way down.” He knew this because he watched her. He enjoyed watching her fight, it was a great display. “One hit their head on the wall and the others on the concrete. Concussions left untreated could be fatal.”

“So much for a quiet night.” Shang turned and looked at the thug… and his three companions as they sprawled out on the floor. Gently nudging ones arm with his foot. “We should call them some help. You really messed them up, Cassandra.”

|| hello friends

Cassandra’s elbow connected with the back of his head and for a brief moment his vision went blurry as he fell to his knees. It was only a few seconds before he was back on his feet again. “Cassandra!” He shouted excitedly. Truth be told, it had been a very long time since he broke a sweat —

And he most surely did lose his balance. He took the hit and for a brief moment his vision went blurry as he attempted to find his footing again. All he could do was slide himself back a feet to try and create enough distance. He’d throw his arms back up in defense and allow Cassandra to —

As the two of them bounced back up he wasted no time sending his front leg forward and upward to her face. He would begin to pick up the pace now. His strikes wouldn’t be so powerful, as they would be fast and if things went according to plan, disorienting. “Hmph!” He grunted, sending several —

“Does that just happen at random?” He looked over at her. The multiverse was such a strange thing, what was even stranger was that the Spiders seemed to be a multiversal constant. They were always there. As strange as it was, it was comforting. Comforting to know there were good people all —

“Do you have any training at all?” He took a seat on the ledge of the building, his legs hanging off. He understood her frustrations, especially after she took a hit to her lip with such force. Even with their abilities, the back of a gun to the jaw still hurt. He didn’t want to see her hurt —

Shang looked over at her. “I’m sorry, I meant no disrespect. I only say this because you took quite a hit. I’ve helped train others before, Araña. I only want to help you avoid getting hurt again.”
