( two days is long enough to figure out cain's strengths and work with them. it's long enough to show him how to start building up muscle better, how to work his body in ways that'll benefit him; definitely not long enough to teach someone to street fight, but cain's already got that bit down. jason isn't too concerned over it; the ring fighters are enhanced, full of metal bits and strong. powerful. cain'll figure it out. )
's yours. ( with a wide-swept gesture with both hands. ) Just don't stay in it for long, it's got eyes on it from unpleasant sources.
[He may not be a navigator or a pilot or an engineer, but he can think on his feet in a fight. Sounds like that's all he'll need to puzzle out the mechanics of the ring. Nothing to do but jump in, hot and ready.]
Yeah, heard that. What about powers? [Cain's gaze spans across the room.] Some weird shit happened back at the safehouse. Pretty sure it was me - how am I supposed to practice that?
[He's temperamental, and arrival after the events of the party had hiked Cain's emotions to a great height, triggering his ability earlier than many. He's not ashamed of it.]
( with a hand on his hip, lips pursing. he's got people for that though, people he can ask for some assistance. kara's. . okay with him. hasn't had an issue, outright told him if he killed those involved she wouldn't give a shit (not that he's particularly interested) about it. )
Just some asshole bothering me. [More to it, but like hell he's dumping the gritty details and exposing the depth of that whole issue.] The plate was on the counter, then it wasn't. Almost like it disappeared.
Maybe later, yeah, just... send her my info. [Appreciative as he is, the power aspect of this brave new world is more challenging to wrap his head around.] You got a lot of connections.
( he does. too many. too many people willing to help him on a whim, too many individuals willing to do near anything for him. it's unsafe, jason hates it. )
[Cain's worse at that: connecting, intentionally or otherwise. Feels like he's harbored isolation too long to change the habits now, but at least Malone's network sounds useful.
Straightening, he holds up his fists, minding the new bruise on his forearm from that last punch.]
C'mon, round two. Let's go.
[We can fade to black into training-montage-scenes, if you want...]
( he favors the hurt arm, and jason notices. grins widely in response, but--repositions himself. takes more of a boxer's stance, considering they're training for the fucking rings. he's mindful of cain's own stance, too; shifts to mirror it when he can. )

What happened?

[Superpower: shattering all your mother's fine china.]
Made it move, I guess?

( it'd be easier to figure out what it was if he could make the incident happen again, but, )
What stressed you out enough to cause it?

Never been able to do anything like that before.

Give me a bit, I'll call my girl. She's got a bit more experience--helping others adjust to crap like that.
