Buckeye and the Hawk (Test Thread)

 Nathaniel Heywood is many things, but "ungrateful" is not one of them. As he walked down the corridor of the JSA Brownstone, hearing the new metal tiles underfoot and their crunch, he looks to the kitchen. He remembers when he had to eat. It's odd now. He picks up the apple and looks at it. He has to watch his strength with it, but he can't feel how much pressure he's using. Hell, with the suit he still can occasionally be too strong. Not enough to break bone unless he tries, but enough-

splat!

to break an apple in his hands. He feels bad about that and quickly wipes the remains off of him before continuing down the hallway. In the study waits the man he was looking for. Though the man was just visiting today, Nate wanted to talk to him.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hall? Do you have a second?"

"Good, now add an extra maneuver - feint, snap jab, then go for the uppercut with the left, each punch needs to set up the next, and you always have whichever hand isn't attacking defending your face." he instructs, demonstrating the simple combo.

Nate tries this as well. His actions are a little slower than he'd like. He's paying extra attention to where he steps. One feint and his foot hits a sprinkler. Putting roughly a ton onto a single sprinkler head only results in a big hole and the beginning of a flood.

"Whoops." Nate looks at Carter sheepishly, and if his blood was still red, he'd be blushing. Instead, he simply becomes a little shinier.
