Slade lit some torches around a ring in the dirt which had been sectioned off for combat training. Slade had hung his schedule of his activities so anyone could find him at any time if they needed him, and this was the time he wanted to train mutants to fight without using their abilities and soley rellying on their physical skill of hand to hand combat. He knew Dimitri and Tomoe weren't as experienced in this area and he wanted to help mutants fight in case anything were to cause their powers to fail or refuse to work during a fight. He had hoped that they would consider this an imporant lesson and not just a waste of time like he had originally thought when he was younger. He thought about Dimitri and some of the other mutants and how they might handle a hand to hand combat situation and he grimmaced. "Well gotta start somewhere I suppose." Slade grabbed a rope from the ground and attached it to the torches creating a type of wrestling ring.

Jason moseyed along the camp, trying to make sure he knew where everything was. He would prefer knowing his surroundings in case anything went wrong. Quick escape. He raised a brow when he saw the man from the speech - the leader. He smirked from beneath his helmet when he saw the man wore one too.

Slade sensed he was being watched and turned to see a figure with a similar taste in attire. Slade smirked and walked to the edge of the ring. He folded his arms and looked directly at Jason. This one was one of the few that actually looked like they'd be able to handle themselves in a fight. "I see you have a fear of head injury." Slade tapped his own helmet and motioned at Jason. "Any good with your hands there?"

"What can I say? The ladies like me pretty." Jason joked. "Why you asking, old man? Care to go a few rounds? Make you feel all spry?" He smirked. This could be interesting, certainly something that could alleviate his boredom, even if it was only a day or so after he got there.

Slade smirked behind his mask. Arrogance, Slade remembered that feeling well. and it always got him into trouble "Youth isn't everything its cracked up to be boy. If you think you can keep up with this old timer than you're welcome to join me join me in this ring. I only have one condition, and that is no mutant abilities allowed. This ring is dedicated to hand to hand combat. I want the mutants here to know how to fight without their abilities." Slade stepped to the center of the ring and waited for Jason to join him. Slade thought back to his time of challenging anything and everything just to prove he was stronger. Hand to hand combat was an art that he had mastered but none of his training prepared him for the mental attacks he had suffered. Slade had learned and created a balance between mind and strength.

Jason shrugged. He figured his healing abilities shouldn't get in the way. He shrugged off his jacket and laid it on the side of the ring before stepping inside. "Been fighting in the streets since I was a little snot." Jason said. "Don't blame me if this gets dirty." He fought to survive and if he had to use dirty moves to do it he would. He had. Luckily for the 'old man' Jason's weapons were in his jacket.

Slade smirked again as he stood with his hands behind his back. Dirty was something Slade was accostumed to. "Well then before we begin let me introduce myself properly. My name is Slade and I don't believe I'm your mentor but I do hope that you'll come to consider me a friend in all this." Slade offered a hand for Jason to shake. He didn't expect Jason to be so ready for friends but he wanted the offer to be there. Slade never wanted to see himself as above those which he helped.

"Jason Todd," he replied, a bit surprised that Slade offered him his hand to shake but he shook Slade's hand. "Could always use a friend in these times." He smiled beneath his helmet. "Where are you from?" Jason found himself asking, more because of Slade's more formal speech. It was obvious that Jason himself was a street brat.

Slade was happy that Jason had taken his hand and also at his curiousity. Where Slade was from was a tricky answer to give but Slade decided to give him the simple answer. "I don't remember. My earliest memories are of a scientist, needles, beakers, and a lot of tests. Needless to say I didn't exactly have a childhood. But if you want an area to place my heritage from, then I will say the city from which you came from." Slade wanted to be open about as much of himself as he could with the mutants around him.

Jason winced as he let go of Slade's hand. "Sorry. I didn't mean to pry." he said. No one liked talking about their experiences in the labs. Jason least of all. He had personally sought to the destruction of the individuals who had treated him during his time in the labs. "So hey, we here to throw down or are we going to keep having a chick flick moment?"

Slade stepped back and put his hands behind his back. He could tell Jason didn't like having too many emotional talks so he gave him a nod. "Whenever you're ready Jason. Just remember go easy on me. I'm an old man and very fragile." Humor was something Slade had picked up during his time being trained and it had become one of his favorite forms of expression, even if it had annoyed his teacher at times. "First person to tap out or get knocked out of the ring loses."

Jason took a deep breath. "Yeah right. Even an old guy like you has tricks." Jason said. "First thing I learned on the streets." He put up his fists and carefully eyed Slade, looking for a sign of an opening but paused when Slade didn't move. "C'mon, Old Man, put them up. I don't fight defenseless people."

Slade relaxed his stance and folded his arms across his chest. "First lesson today, no one from F.R.O.G.S. is defensless. They're all a lot trickier than me and will use any scheme or trick to leave your defenses down. Make the first move, I wanna see how you do at stratedgizing." Slade looked over Jason studying his every move, every muscle that tensed and was ready to spring.

"But we said no powers," Jason said before he swung the first punch, throwing it towards Slade's chin but at the last second twisting and aiming a kick at the man's side. His fists were curled close in front of his chest, protecting it and his kick was swift but sound.

Slade collapsed his body to the ground quickly dodging the kick. Slade admitted to himself that Jason was definetly more prepared than most of the mutants here. Slade put his hands on the ground and pushed himself throwing his feet into the air aiming a kick at Jason's head. He wanted Jason to have a chance and forced himself to slow his speed down although not as much as he thought he would have to.
