Date & Time: January 2nd, forward dated to nighttime
Location: All over the city
Characters: Adam Park and YOU
Summary: There's a ranger running around the back ends of the city for training purposes. Bug him?
Warnings: None (will update if it get to that.)

[For someone who has the ability to morph now, Adam hasn't been using it so much when facing down an enemy. Not in this new place and certainly not back on Fortuna despite the coin being fixed. Rather, he used his own strength to figure things out and only used his power if it was an emergency. But tonight...is different.

Using it to fight off zombies is one thing but to do it otherwise sounded like a bad idea. Using it in the training area sounds logical but Adam is still unsure about exposing his ranger self to the people here. He could picture the lecture he'd get from Billy if he ever finds out about his little run. It still didn't make him flinch at his decision. If he needed to use it more often, he has to start training his body again and get used to it once more. So after he found a small area where it's pretty isolated, he pulls out his morpher and transforms quickly.

He did have a plan after all: stay in the areas where less traffic occurs such as alleyways and the like. Did anyone have to question someone running in spandex while on the main roads? Yes they do, which is why Adam came to the conclusion he did. He'll be staying cautious given the setting but there's also the chance that he could be spotted by a random person.

Besides, it's good exercise.]

"Hey, don't sell yourself short. I'm not the only powered one here."

Billy, the more you keep thinking that, the more Adam will drill the thought into your head. Do you really want to keep going? He chuckles slightly as he takes his own stance.

"One...two...three!"

And now the training really begins.

"You know I'm not using that as an excuse to hold back though, right?"

Because he isn't. Billy takes off at a carefully calculated run---not a full sprint, he really needs to conserve his energy and concentrate on endurance, but enough that he never loses sight of Adam. He takes on the obstacles with his usual gymnastic grace, bouncing and flipping over the mounds of debris in their way.

"Wouldn't expect it."

And honestly, he doesn't want Billy to hold back either. The point of training is to increase strength and stamina after all and it wasn't like someone is going to attack them soon. Or at least he hopes not. And there is a reason why he chose the alleys to start off: in a fight, sometimes things can get in the way and someone would have to maneuver through all of them, right?

It also reminds them of those fights with the Putties on the playground and using the equipment to their advantage. That was fun.

Billy keeps pounding at the pavement, bounding off the walls to avoid an obstacle once or twice. He pushes himself as hard as he ever has, rebounding from a scrape or two as quickly as he can.

He finds a steady pole above them to swing from and makes a small noise of delight as he swings. "Having fun yet?"

"Just getting started."

Actually, he's more watching Billy having fun playing around than training. It's been such a long time since he saw something like that.

Not that it's distracting him as he leapfrogs over several trash cans.

Billy responds by flipping over several of them, twisting higher in the air than he has in months. He pushes himself hard, as if they're really fighting, but this is all play. It's just fine.

"Did you have a training partner where you came from?" he asks on a whim as he swivels around an old lamppost.

It depends on which world he's referring to but Adam chuckles as he jumps on a wall, flips over a dumpster and steadies himself on a fence.

"Back home, I ran a dojo before being called back in. When I arrived in Fortuna, I became a part of the Watch. The commander was alright with sparring if I didn't accidentally slam him into the blacktop like that one time."

Lightly, Kresnik was alright and he did respect him.

"Slam is a strong word. Did you think he was a criminal, or...?"

Billy kicks off from his perch and flips back down to the ground, following with a confused expression.

"More like got a little too excited."

No really, Adam got a little too happy about sparring and he accidentally slammed the man. It...also didn't help later on when he carried Kresnik to a bar one night for a distraction. And we mean carried him from one town to the other.

Billy stared openly as he ran after Adam, distancing himself a few steps.

"...a little excited? Adam, did you become a hulking superman over the past few years? Do you bench-press trucks?"

Ok, he had to admit that made him laugh a little. Ranger turned Hulk...yeah, sounds like fun.

"No, I can't do that but I could guess a blue phoenix I know might be able to."

Well, he doesn't know for sure that Marco really could but you never know.

"A phoenix could smash people into the pavement? Wow, I'm impressed."

Billy moved just the slightest bit faster. Wow, outdone by so many? He'd have to step up his game.
