Somebody's going to have to teach her and the only one of us she knows well enough to trust is probably you, Isaac. I'd be happy to help if you think I'd be helpful.
[ Frowning, Derek nods to himself. He sighs. ]
Yeah, I didn't either. This happened to me a few years ago, back home. Some shit Kate managed to do. I know exactly how it feels and it really sucks.
[ There's a short pause as he considers. ]
I'm not actually that good at it, but Lydia and the Allisons are good teachers. You can come down to the gym, man, that's pretty much what we do is just teach other Supers how to defend themselves without their powers for the just in case times.
[ He knows Derek is right, but that doesn't change he uncertainty, the discomfort. He doesn't want to mess it up, do it wrong, and have Hermione end up hurt or anymore upset than she already is. ]
I talked to Allison about it a while ago. Uh, the other Allison, not the one from home. I guess I'll have to do that again.
[ He goes quiet, not sure how to express how scared he is, how uncertain he is. ] What did you do back home? When it happened to you?
Yeah, that or just stop by the gym and ask. Somebody will be in there that can work with you.
[ Derek frowns as he considers. It isn't something he particularly likes to think about considering it ended in his death. Evolution into the full wolf he really is, but still. He had to die to get there and it's not an enjoyable thing for him to think about. ]
Well...first, I tried to hide it. Then, Braeden taught me how to use a gun. So, self-defense, just a different flavor. I mean, when it happened to me, it was also in the middle of a supernatural dead pool, so you know, not an ideal time to be de-powered. But that's why I think she went with guns instead of martial arts.
