the way they MOVED. the way they AIMED. the way they PUNCHED.
the way they FOUGHT.
familiarity screamed at him from every angle, but jesse was quick to brush off the thoughts of nostalgia and replace them with both adrenaline and aggression of battle. he was taught to live in the fight, allow the traits that make jesse, JESSE shine bright enough to blind the enemy in anger; enough to make them slip. enough to make them get SLOPPY.
but the difference between all the others and THIS ONE was that the cowboy did not even say a single mocking insult to his opponent to know that they were slipping up. the masterful assassin, the REAPER himself making mistakes? it was known that where-ever he went, death followed... he was a well trained, cold-blooded killer. how the hell does he just whiff so many shots in such a short amount of time?
❝ i never struck you as the type to be ‘fraid, REAPER, “ he’s mocking him as he reloads behind cover. ❝ why even go by a name like that? ‘s like you’re tryin’ too hard to scare people to death-- all you’re gonna achieve is death by bein’ too corny... ❞ he clenches his jaw as he ducks out of cover to fire another shot towards the other’s direction.

it's like something out of an action movie : the two of them standing in the middle of a crowd of unconscious or flat-out dead goons, told to take them out at all costs. despite them coming out of it alive, they did not walk away unscathed.
❝ this is the kind o' bullshit reyes throws at me every week. don't get me wrong, i appreciate the gesture -- you taggin' along, wanting to see what i get up to. but this here ain't safe. ❞
he hadn't noticed that the archer had snuck up behind him -- and in one fell swoop, he was in his arms. jesse knew better than to struggle against the other's grip, but it wasn't like he wanted to.
❝ well, hello to you too, ❞ the cowboy chuckles with a subtle pink color forming across his cheeks. ❝ reckon it might get a bit inconvenient for you to be greetin' me like this every time we meet ? ❞
🏹 - For my muse to challenge your muse in something
❝ twenty-bucks says y'can't rig the fight, ❞ he says, looking down at the battle-mechs. how did they end up in junkertown, with no raised eyebrows or weird looks ? beats him, but he's gettin' himself excited for shit he ain't even seen before in other places. the omnic war really did hit 'em hard ...
❝ make the hamster thing lose -- give the girl some advantage. y'think you could do that ? ❞
❝ 'cause it'd be too easy not to, ❞ he starts, carefully choosing his words. the stern look on her face, the furrow in her brow ; he'd remember time and time again durin' their glory days when she'd tell jesse t'piss right off and he'd come crawlin' back like a little lost puppy.
only this time, it took a little over a decade to do just that. she's the first gal that he's running to when he's broken his shackles, free from blackwatch.
he just hopes that it wasn't too late. but something told him it was.
❝ y'could come with me -- travel 'round, like we used to ; 'fore we got the whole gang together. ❞
