Gold lantern

Free time

Today was a fine day where Fortis had no plans nor ideas for what he wanted to do with Marcel and to be honest they have hit a bit of a stone wall since there was nothing else that Fortis could really train or teach him other than lantern arts but only one can wear and be a true Gold Lantern and Fortis had no plans of retiring just yet.

I mean there's nothing better than having a free flowing date were you and your partner can do whatever you please out in the open night sky just enjoying life while being able to go anywhere to eat anything as original as it can be with minor interruptions along the way but other wise a prefect night out and it helps that the alternative it being cooped up in a room taking care of kids that scream if you so much as breath the wrong way.

Don't get the wrong idea Fortis loves his kids almost as much as he loves the women they called mother but lets just say that it would not surprise Fortis if almost every superhero who has kids refused to retire because of wanting to make a better world for their kids...... and also because it got them out of the house more often.

And looking around Fortis could only think of how different everything's been from his earliest memory, the world of tomorrow, and then the world of today its amazing to see how many things have changed and yet stayed the exact same no matter what.

But when it comes to the center of everyone's being there's no hope in finding anyone grater than Marcel for the Gold Lantern bracelet because from the looks of it through his golden eyes no matter where he looked no one had even a spark of gold within them only the main lantern colors.

For to become a Gold Lantern..... well lets just say its hard than fighting against the corruptive influence of being an orange lantern and after looking for even a spark after all these years Fortis could understand why it was so hard to find someone who was worthy enough to wield the power or for a more realistic reasoning it was very hard finding someone who met the Astro high requirements needed to use it cause not even gods could unlock the power hidden inside.

And just as Fortis continued to drift off into his own thoughts he got jolted back awake once he saw Marcel walking with someone who looked familiar but after a closer inspection he found out that it was in fact Barbra Gordan and they seemed happy as they talked about something until Dick Greyson appeared on the scene and that was when Marcel left.

While it may have looked like something was going on from his view point it seemed like Barbra liked Dick a lot more than she had previously let on which put a little smile on his Fortis face but otherwise left them alone to do their own thing.

-Meanwhile with Marcel-

Marcel: "Man I know that Barbra's the commissioners daughter and all that but man... she is so hot I wish I could get someone like her (sighs) but for now I'm fine with the way things are now since (looks around as he cracks his neck surrounded by a ton of bodies) it'd be really hard to find a girl willing to look past all this and my training."

While everyone around him may not be dead it doesn't really mean much with him having taken out at least thirty people maybe more all by himself and this is after training before he could have taken out only fifteen by himself so there was a definite increase in his abelites except.

Marcel: "I'm lacking in strength aren't I."

This isn't some sort of martial arts movie or superhero flick but Marcel knows that he's hit a brick wall in his training that he can't seem to break through no matter how hard and often he hits the wall stopping him from improving.

And since this is something that only effects him he would like to get find a way to breakthrough the next level before he meets his master again in two weeks since most of the training he'd been going through for the past couple weeks had been nothing more than basic body improvement albeit from hell but still.

And because of the way he fights Marcel couldn't really be taught anything other than the basics since his style was more of a free flow style of fighting were a person used any and everything around them to fight instead of actual techniques that improve themselves and form a style.

Basically his style was that of pure chaos with the need of lacking any sort of flow or style so that he could change gears at any moment and use whatever he wanted in any other style he knew how to use like turning a shield into a mace, throwing weapon, or using it to help him maneuverer a better angle at taking someone out.

But because of that very same style of fighting meant that there was nothing else he could really be taught as everything was based on him and him alone since learning actual techniques would only hinder him the longer he learned them whilst further limiting his own growth.

Marcel: "Is there anything else I can do to get stronger?"

And just as he said as if by fate or more likely since its Gotham a strong wind knocked the flyer off were ever it was at straight onto Marcel's face for training on learning the ways of Parkour and from the flyer itself said.

Flyer: (Learn how to move your body better than before, turn your entire being into a free flowing machine, and that you shall never be later ever again!)

Marcel: "Hmm... well its not like learning this could hurt or anything I mean (looks around the streets of Gotham) if I have to live here in the future than learning a way to go about the city faster would help a whole lot."

What Marcel didn't know however is that this was the key in growing stronger since this was a way to make his body better at moving in any way he desired and instead of other forms that improve the body where they are limited to the way they were made this method was made to be as free as one can be while moving.

And yes while it is not the best method its the only method that Marcel could learn at this moment in time that actually mattered for him since the other ways could only be learned from certain people he would meet later in life and even those have the strictest rules to them as well.

But anyway that is something for the future in the mean time Marcel is eating pavement and asphalt as he face plants the ground as he starts learning the ways on how to move his body how he pleases and how to do so in any environment he pleases so long as he can do it and feel like he'll succeed.

And that is all for now hope you all enjoyed and until next time stay safe and peace.
