Persephone sighed, leaning against the wall of the roof where she was meeting Damocles for a spar. She'd gotten the Dark Mirror Super to agree to help her train a little - mostly because she had heard rumors, though noting particularly solid, of Negaverse officers with grudges against the Court.
Damocles, Lance, had been kind to her, and so she intended to make sure that he was well and prepared for what fighting an officer might mean.

"Alright.. I'm here." Damocles said as he touched down. The blonde had agreed to this only after checking with Alistair. Sure, Ali knew it was Persephone, and that he had nothing to worry about, with either of them. But after the fight they had had, he thought it was best to give him the heads up anyway. "Why are we doing this again?" He asked.

Persephone gave him a smile of greeting, moving away from the rooftop ledge. "Glad you made it," she said, stretching. "We're doing this because I'm given to understand that there are officers who aren't fond of you Dark Mirror sorts, and I'd prefer you fight against someone with...well, some of an officer's abilities. I'd hate for you to end up dead because you didn't know what we can do." She wrinkled her nose. "I don't have a weapon, but that's the easiest part to work around, I'd think."

"I've seen officers fight before Persephone." Not often mind you... Just once or twice, here and there type situations. "And besides..." He trailed off with a small grin. "The last time I saw you fight, you almost got your butt handed to you by a youma." They were both so lucky that cat had come along when it did. "But I guess it couldn't hurt."

Persephone rolled her eyes. "I was a basic Senshi then, and a p***y-a** White Mooner at that. Believe me when I say, I've gotten a lot better." She didn't intend to give him much warning, not when he'd get none in a real fight. So the Eternal vanished, reappearing nearly right in front of him and throwing a punch at his solar plexus. She'd learned to aim low, and important skill at her size since just about all her opponents were bigger.

"Basic, just reaching super if I recall correctly.." He made a choked noise when the punch connected. Freaking teleporting, he always forgot about that one. "That was dirty." He growled out, before grabbing her arm. And with a spin, he threw the tiny senshi over his shoulder and away from him. "But then again, so was that."

Being physically slung around was nothing new for Persephone, and so she landed fairly gracefully behind Damocles and was on the attack once again. "It wasn't dirty, darling, it was a demonstration, and one for which you were totally unprepared." She came at him with a leg sweep, intending to take him off his feet.

"The teleporting was totally dirty." Then he grinned. "Good luck with that sweet heart." Damocles said as he jumped up and over Persephone's leg. When his feet touched back down, He launched forward throwing a few punches. "When do I normally have to deal with teleporting people. If you haven't noticed, I'm a little busy with the Order to wonder what the Negaverse is doing."

Persephone's expression never wavered from a smile. She did a good job of blocking Damocles's punches, and then she ducked under his guard and tapped a finer to his chest, right over his starseed. "Dead. Don't let an officer get close. Ever."

Damocles leveled her with an annoyed glare. "That only worked because you're tiny as hell." He grumbled. "I know the basics remember?" He took classes. He didn't need to be reminded of them.

Her expression immediately became serious. "No, Damocles, you don't understand. I'm not talking about the basics." And then, with no warning, her hand sank into his chest and she wrapped her fingers around his starseed. "Do you feel how much that hurts? The thing I have my hand on right now is called your starseed. Your soul. It's what makes you who you are, and the potential to be a Senshi? It comes from there. Corruption affects it, though mine probably very differently than yours." She made a mental note to assuage her curiosity on what a Dark Mirror starseed looked like with someone else's.
She squeezed. "If I withdrew my hand, and then held onto it for a few minutes, you would die. So when I say dead, when I say don't let an officer get too close, I mean it."

"You know what I mean. Don't get technic-" Damocles' words stopped as he yelped when her hand sunk into his chest. He knew about the starseed business. And he had been fortunate, and rather grateful, that no one had grabbed it at this point. "Let go." The blonde senshi growled, reaching, with some struggle to grab her wrist and tug on it. "God damn it Persephone, LET GO." His tone grew when she squeeze, and he suddenly had a very urge to shove his foot square into her stomach.

Persephone complied, releasing his starseed and taking a step back. "You think that hurt, imagine what corruption felt like," she said, her voice dry. "I hope you understand what I mean, now, because I would hate for someone who actually means you harm to do that to you." He was angry, and she knew it, but she'd made her point and that was what mattered.
"Never forget that fighting an officer or a corrupt is totally different from any other enemy you could possibly face."

"I had shards of glass fly into me. I think I've got some idea." Okay so maybe it wasn't the same concept, but the point was he wasn't unfamiliar with the power. "If this were a real fight and not a spar, you would not have gotten away with that to begin with." The blonde growled out as he panted. "Persephone, if there's one thing I've learned in any of this bullshit is that everything and everyone is different from the last."

"It's not." Persephone said, wrapping her arms around herself. "The same, i mean. I imagine it hurt like hell - Chaos always does, it's not natural to us - but the difference between Awakening into the Dark Mirror and having a White Moon starseed pumped full of enough Negaverse Chaos to not only corrupt me, but raise me a level - Chaos which my very core rejects, please note the whacked-out holes and ridiculous hair? Nothing compares, sorry."
She exhaled. "if it were a real fight you'd be screaming, because I would've used my magic. I don't want to hurt you, I want you to understand what you're dealing with. And I want you to be able to make Tantalus understand, because he seems sweet and I don't want to see him get hurt, either. Much less by someone within the Negaverse." She frowned for a moment. "Actually - if an officer of Captain rank or lower ever hassles you, let me know? I might be able to put the fear of God in 'em. Or, fear of tiny five foot death goddess, whichever."
