Today, secrets will be a little less secretive than usual.]

	[He sighs, looking away. He can't argue with any of that but it's hardly a pep talk. He feels defeated by the reality check rather than annoyed.] Even if I did prepare I'm no good in a fight. I'm an average shot and that's about it. Those little girls you mentioned certainly have me beat when it comes to stoping monsters. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So learn. Don't just roll over and give in... because that's the only thing separating you from those girls now. Come on. I'll show you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He looks surprised at the offer. Even asking for advice had felt like pushing it with Spike, but he knows better than to object or make a big deal out of it.] Alright. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It's a mixture of being bored out of his mind and so pissed off that no one's taking any of this serious enough to train those most vulnerable. Maybe it won't help against Tyki, but it'll help against something. ] Athletic Center, then. I don't want to get busted for beating you up in the street. [ He gives Ianto a look at that — just kidding. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alright. [He turns and follows Spike towards the center, privately grateful he didn't wear a suit today. He's opted for them less lately, mostly because he's been avoiding the library and doesn't need to dress up in what he considers work appropriate attire. He catches sight of one of his own secrets out of the corner of his eye; the one about his father which is really the reason he wears the suits in the first place. He doesn't like to look like the people he grew up around. He ignores the piece of paper - he has enough problems today already.] Thanks.

	Don't mention it. I'm just fed up seeing your pathetic puppy face. [ Yeah, that's it. That's all there is to it. ] Jack really don't teach you any of this? No self defence training? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He shakes his head.] I was just a researcher at Torchwood London, not a field agent, and that didn't change in Cardiff. I usually I just provide support. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-04 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	You're not in Cardiff anymore. Haven't been for a while now. [ A look. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. Despite it all there's been much less action here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But when it hits, it's all the worse... isn't that right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-04 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. [Quietly. He's never been tortured before.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-04 06:03 pm UTC (link)
	[ He has. Or... will be. Not looking forward to meeting Glory, that's for sure. ] That's why you need to prepare. You don't have to be some brawny superhero like Jack to protect yourself... and locking you in the apartment isn't going to cut it. Especially not with Tyki. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-04 06:13 pm UTC (link)
	Could you fight him? [Its not a request, just a curious question. He can't think of many other people here strong enough to take on Tyki.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-04 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	...He doesn't fight fair. [ You can't fight something you can't hit. ] Disable that? I'd take him down. Easily. As it is, I'm not getting in the middle of all that. I've seen what he can do with a crucifix. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-04 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	Good to know, I suppose. But it's not a problem I want to try and solve. I'm planning on staying as far away from him as possible. [Maybe he should want revenge or to see him brought to justice but really he just wants to stay as far away from him as possible.] You're not the only one who doesn't want to get involved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-04 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	Better hope you don't get a reason to, then. [ He can respect that. You choose your battles. Stay away from what's not worth it. ] I'll teach you what I can and if nothing else, you get to take out your aggressions on me. Don't go telling people though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I won't tell. Wouldn't want Jack getting jealous. [Yeah he's never letting that secret go. It's way too much fun for him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Let's test that theory. ] Do you want me to hit you back? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-04 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	Well not until we get to the athletic complex. Wouldn't want you getting in trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-04 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	Think I'll risk it. [ So watch it, pretty boy. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[They've reached the Athletic Complex by this point and Ianto follows him inside.] Thank you for continuing to be an ass towards me. Everyone else is very concerned, which I appreciate, but I'm getting a bit tired of it. This is refreshing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't do coddling... and even if I did, it wouldn't make you stay any more alive. [ He looks around for something that can work as a stake without actually having the pointy characteristics of a stake. Something he can handle getting jabbed in his chest a few hundred times without getting dusted. Rubber weight will do. ] Here. Let's start with the basics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-04 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	I appreciate it. [He takes the weight but doesn't act just yet. Spike is the one running this show after all. He'll wait for instructions and see how he wants to do things.] I imagine Jack is going to be even more paranoid than he was with you. He already watched me die once in his timeline. I think this is just going to make him worry more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He would've been more impressed if Ianto just fell right into the assignment but if he did, they wouldn't need to be here. So, he takes this prelude to shrug out of his coat. Might as well cut down on the distractions now that he's dealing with such a novice. ]

Said all I wanted to say on that subject. [ Jack being an idiot and sticking his fingers in his ears rather than preparing. Can't watch Ianto 24/7. Can't stop a man who can walk through walls. ]

Attack me. Give me your best shot.

[Ianto does not look particularly enthused by the instruction. He does not have any illusions about his ability to do any damage in this situation, and it's tempting not to even try but he's here and he's already agreed to this and no matter how it goes Spike is going to have a sarcastic comment at the ready so he might as well just go. So he hefts the weight, and does his best to rush in and take a swing at him with the thing as though it were a stake.]
