Tully smiles. Good kid? Been a while since anyone's called me that. Still, if he wants to think that...
He sighs. "Love to, but I gotta get to the Centre - coupla my 'mon got hit bad earlier and now I've collected Cassie I wanna get 'em healed quick as I can. Thanks, though."

"When you say it like that,I feel a bit more courageous than before!"
As soon as the man makes physical contact with Tully's shoulder, a pink light engulfs him and Cassie! This happens pretty instantly, but the next thing he sees is a close up view of a bridge and an open field, while not being exactly on it...
"You may be a good kid, but to us, you're a pest. So go away..." The same man with a new demeanor whispers. Tully wasn't standing on anything, but him and this stranger are in the same position as if they were on ground level in the park. He flicks his hand off Tully using gravity to make him fall in the running river below.

Tully's eyes widen as starts falling. He almost begins to panic (which, for Tully, doesn't take long) before he sees what he's falling towards, whereupon he has to make an effort not to break into a smile.
Oh, no! Please don't throw me in the briar patch!
He twists around in the air, both to land properly and to get a look at the attacker. He looks up just in time to see the glow fade from... his mouth? Kinda weird, but who was he to argue with results. It also meant his knives wouldn't do the job if he wanted that shard - he'd need this guy to be down here as well.
Well, he thinks as he plunges into the water, better get him down here, then.
After a moment, he surfaces and grabs onto the riverbank grass, making sure his grip looks just right - strong enough that he'll stay there if there's no interference, but wea enough that it'll only take a push to knock him loose.
He looks up at the floating man. "Ain't goin' away that easy!" He shouts, despite how his situation looks.

The man contemplates Tully's situation for a moment. "You gotta be shittin' me... Getting near you again would be asking to get punched. I hate slugfests. Also, you fought against a current of water to grab hold of the edge. Either you're a good swimmer or I'm awful at geography."
The stranger says as he walks off the bridge, on to the grass. "Get up,sending you off didn't work so I'm gonna use my people skills."

Tully shrugs, easily hopping onto the riverbank. "Well, can't blame a guy fer tryin'." A hand recedes slightly up his sleeve, taking ahold of a knife. "So, you got a name?" He asks as he sights up a shot. Tully uses Flutter and Take Aim
Cassie's initiative: 22 Tully's initiative: 12

The man takes a seat on the grass "I think you're the guy Johan talked about... What you need to know is Paradiso. They're not heroes and you aren't doing them any favors stickin' up for the big guy. Hypothetically, after you beat us and get all the shards, do you think they'll be all buddy-buddy with you?""Are you not the least bit interested in what we're about to do soon!?" He says with a cheerful glee. Instinctively throwing up his arms in celebration. Initiative: 15

Aw, ain't that cute - he thinks I trust them.Tully waves his hand from side to side. "Interested? Little bit..."Without warning, Cassie rams into the man from behind, leaving a slight miasma around him. "Not enough, though."Cassie's Turn: Shift: Move to melee Standard: Feint Attack Swift: Omen

The man is struck in the shoulder by Cassie.
The next thing you see is Cassie's body flapping inches from your face. The knife is gone from your sleeve and you feel some resistance on your left foot.
However you see your opponent standing upright even though he was sitting down a moment ago. Wincing from pain and fatigue. A blue hue is coming from his pocket. "If you continue to threaten my life then I won't hesitate to kill, brat. Gurner came back a different person. Johan never showed and Floydd came back with a hole in his chest. Brooklyn never came back from her personal trip. Whatever happened to those two yeah? I refuse to go like the rest of them! You're someone smart enough to live through-"
His phone rings impatiently... Like a piece of toast, it's bring up to his mouth. "Busy... Hmm..." Taking his attention away from Tully...

Tully smiles. Scaring yer opponent 'stead of takin' him out and takin' yer eyes off him? Not smart, Mr Porty, not smart at all.
His eyes flick down for a split second to his foot. Knife through the shoe. Not a bad idea if they weren't by a river, meaning wet enough soil that he can move without trouble.
He rushes forward, a knife outstretched and aimed squarely at his stomach.

Mr Teleport eyes grow bewildered. He did not expect Tully to move so freely so without thinking of where to go, he steps back on instinct and teleports a few meters away, causing him to stumble back.
"WOAH! Where are you right now!? In a bad spot, putting you on speaker." He says, still preoccupied with the phone?

Tully doesn't slow down once his knife slides through empty air. In fact, he doesn't even look surprised, mostly because he isn't. In fact, he'd been almost counting on it.
After all, he knows that someone with the power to teleport will invariably use it to get out of harm's way. But he also knows how teleportation works - it can't be used more than once or twice in any given time frame and it takes enough concentration and causes enough disorientation that the teleporter can't do anything much for a few seconds.
As such, he twists around, keeping most of his momentum as he rushes towards his opponent's new location. Cassie swoops low alongside him, pulling ahead after a moment and ramming into the man again. She's seen this coming even before Tully did and manages to hit from the opposite direction that he was moving, creating even more of an impact.
The next moment, Tully is on him, not letting him catch his breath. In fact, he aims his blow to increase his disorientation, letting Cassie give another blow that he then hits himself, as well as striking him across the eyes for good measure.
That's the trouble with you super-types, he thinks, you got so much power that you never bother to learn the skill to use it right.
He doesn't say that, though - if they keep being sloppy like that, it's a-okay with him.

Mr Teleport is gasping for his life now. His blocking hand falls off his face in relief. The phone, now on speakerphone translates the static into a voice Tully recognizes...
"Negotiations aren't working out so well huh? We're at..."
Mr Teleport hears his and musters a smile once more. His shard activates around himself, Tully, and Cassie. Absorbing all the in pink light and teleporting them to an unfamiliar arena. Tully can safely assume he's back at the amusement park since he sees Ace nearby. Also surrounding him and Mr Teleport are three ticked off faces.
