Perfect setup for me. The titans ready for combat. (Sorry for making it so difficult.) The places my mind goes. :) I’ve sequeled.

I failed to mention earlier that I loved the line In a fit of insanity I wondered if he was going to embrace Mendez rather than fight him. It added to the feeling of shock Jordan must have been experiencing.

The previous ficlet in the series was for me a radical turning point. Where it was going to go would be decided here, and your response was splendid. (I felt inner turmoil after writing those last few segments, hoping that you’d triumph and kick butt in a difficult terrain, and you did.)

I love how you have Jordan trying to save his friend from Mendez. Classic:]
