Slade was standing in front of a sparring dummy placing punches in a very precise and quick manner. Slade moved faster and faster striking certain positions over and over. Slade's movements finally reached top speed and he placeed one final punch in the center of the target. The target shattered as Slade's fist went through it. Slade had been waiting for Jason to show up since he spent most of his time either practicing his own skills or helping other mutants with their hand to hand combat. He began picking up the pieces of the broken practice dummy and placing them in a barrel to be used for other purposes around the camp.

Jason stepped up towards the sparring area only to step on a broken piece of the dummy that Slade had yet to pick up. "Anger management much?" Jason asked dryly. "You know we only have a limited number of those, right? Making new ones are a pain." He picked up the broken piece and added it to the bin.

Slade smiled as he heard Jason's voice. He always found Jason's attitude to be refreshing. He placed another handful into the bucket and looked up at him. "Well don't worry I'll make sure to replace this one. I'm glad you came. I wanted to talk to you about that night, and about the future. The event has brought some very big fears that need to be addressed and I know that you're the mutant that I'm going to want to help me."

"You must be pretty desperate if you're looking to me for a solution. Last I checked I'm the hit man of the camp." Jason shrugged. He hadn't exactly kept his past a secret. He shared his hatred for F.R.O.G.S. openly and had plainly stated he had killed in order to survive.

Slade knew about Jason's past but he didn't like judging people by there past, but rather by the acts which he had witnessed. "That's not what I witnessed. You stepped up and protected the mutants of this camp. There's something important though that I need you to do."

"What can I say? I've got more than a bone to pick with those guys." Jason muttered darkly. "They're so focused on the 'mutant menace' than they are the real problems." In the neighborhood he used to live, crime was rampant. His mother had died because a drug dealer sold her bad drugs. Her fault for using them, but his fault for selling something toxic.

Slade knew the pain of F.R.O.G.S. since he had spent 30 years under their control. "Yes the world thinks us as a disease on society and we;re treated as such. Mutants are bought and sold, experimented on, and forced to use their abilities against their will for F.R.O.G.S. on other mutants. This life is incredibly dangerous and any of us could become a target that they focus their sights on. I fear that now that they're gotten back Tomoe they will use his knowledge against us. They will discover who I am and seek to control me through him."

"What's this got to do with me?" Jason asked. "You going to ask me to go in the city and try and get him back?" Jason certainly didn't know Tomoe well enough to attempt such a feat. While he talked a big game, he was sure he could get into the city again if he needed to. Getting out, with hostages at that, would be more difficult and near impossible.

Slade shook his head. Slade knew he had to be blunt so that Jason understood completely what he was asking. "I think F.R.O.G.S. is going to come for me, and I think they're going to succeed. Meg can see the future and she saw them taking me away. I don't know when it wil happen but I want to be prepared in case it happens." Slade looked into Jason's eyes with complete focus. "If they take me I want you to lead this camp."

"You're... joking right? I'm not fit to take care of anyone in this camp." Jason said after he finally figured out what exactly to say. Taken back was an understatement. He was completely dumbfounded by Slade's logic. "Why not put Meg in charge? She can better... prepare or whatever. Or we can stop them from taking you."

Slade put his hand up to stop Jason. "Meg is an important member in this camp and I rely on her greatly, but she doesn't have the strength to lead this camp. I've watched you and you may not realize it but you are a leader. Why do you think I had you teach others hand to hand combat?" Slade knew it wouldn't be easy to convince him, but he needed Jason to understand that he was the most suited for the leadership.

Jason felt frustration boiling beneath his skin and he took a deep breath. Logically, it made sense, he wanted to say but Jason knew his own faults. He was a hothead. "I'm more likely to get everyone killed." he said. "What's Dimitri have to say on the matter? Have you even discussed this with him? He doesn't even know me." Despite the fact the man was supposed to be his 'mentor'.

Slade knew that Dimitri was strong, but he wasn't the same man who had mentored Slade into the man he was today. "Dimitri is complicated. He avoids most communication with people and lacks the ability to function at times. Given time he could become great but we may not have that time. Until that day I need someone who I can trust to protect my mutants and lead them to safety. I know if you were in that position you would lead them well. You may not see it but I do."

Jason ran a hand over the back of his neck. "I'm not exactly saying yes..." Jason said. "But we'll do a trial run. If everyone else wants me out I'm out. No if ands or buts." What was he getting himself into? He thought he had told himself to stay out of these sorts of situations when he came into camp. He had done enough vigilante things when he was back in the city.

Slade nodded in understanding. "Sounds fair to me, but I think you'll be surprised with the response you'll get. If something happens to me the mutants will need to be held together with a strong hand." Slade remembered the reaction that the mutants had to being attacked, it would be worse if he was taken and their leadership was gone. "I think if the time comes you'll see I was right and I won't be there to tell you I told you so." Slade smiled behind his mask. He was confident in his choice even if Jason was not.
