Angel glanced over and saw the look on Deus' face, raising an eyebrow in interest, but she turned her attention back to Jon as the pebble left her hand. Then everything else rose into the air for a few moments and she looked over, watching him as he explained his control, then seemed suddenly winded. But after a moment, he continued talking and floating the pebble. She watched it go over her head, then chuckled a little and picked it out of her hair.
"Alright, I understand. Let's try something else, then."
She went to the table and set the pebble down. She ran her hand over the table top and a selection of items came up. She selected a handful of throwing darts with suction cups on the end and the pebble disappeared, being replaced with the darts. Picking them up, she walked over to Deus.
"Deus, can you throw these at him one at a time for me?"
She held them out for him to take as she explained what she wanted to do.
"Jon, I want you to try slowing them down or moving them around you, alright? You can do both if you like, but let's just start with one at a time, ok?"
She stood back and watched, waiting for the results.

"Tch" He scratches at the side of his face a little as he tries to remember to play nice with her. To help give him time to think he pulls out a cigar and lights it with electricity sparking between a couple fingers. He'd gotten used to the 5 large scars running down the entirety of the left side of his face. As well as not being able to see. Angel would know the story, someone came looking for Logan and attacked Mina. Amadeus stood up to the man, Victor Creed, but it had been a losing fight. It wasn't too long after that Mina got taken, and then Amadeus disappeared. He preferred his way of doing things of course, and he was out of practice with dealing with people.
"Alright..."
He picks up one of the darts and throws it an Jon. He had thrown it to hit right in the middle of Jon's forehead. It seemed as good a target as any.

Jon held out a hand, and concentrated on the dart, trying to slow it in mid-air. Except he ran into a slight problem, his concentration suddenly broke, causing the dart to bounce off of his forehead.
"Damnit, again." he says, preparing himself for the next dart.

Angel watched silently as the dart was thrown and missed. It was easy to see that it had slowed for a moment, but it sped back up and went right to Jon's forehead. She thought for a moment and stepped forward.
"Hang on a second, Deus."
She walked over to Jon, an idea forming in her head.
"Jon, Telekinesis isn't as complex as you might think. Basically your mind has become an extension of your hand. You reach out and pick something up without thinking, right? If you waved your hand just as the dart neared you, you could knock it out of the air. Try that, try just knocking the dart aside. You don't have to stop it altogether."
She stepped to the side again and nodded to Deus, watching again.

He yawns and smokes. This was such a drag. He could be throwing knives and forks and spoons at Jon right now, instead... well... these toys. He picks up the next dart though. And he throws it, this time aiming for the tip of Jon's chin. He'd let Jon deal with talking. Amadeus knew if he opened his mouth it wouldn't end well.

Jon raised an eyebrow at Deus, but also didn't say anything. He'd rather the sharp things flying at him, but meh, he could deal.
Waiting for the dart to leave his friend's hand, Jon started preparing himself mentally. He concentrated on the dart, hoping that this time he'd actually be able to do something...
And he waited too long. By the time he realized that Deus threw it, the dart was bouncing off his chin.
"Alright, I really gotta stop thinking," he says, rubbing his chin where he was hit.

"A shocking development." Amadeus picks up another dart, and puts an electric shock along it before throwing it at the back of Jon's hand.

Jon does not succeed in stopping the dart, however he does manage to catch it, zapping himself in the process.
He drops to the floor, tossing the dart aside as quickly as possible, "Son of a bitch!"
Taking a moment to recover, he looks over at Angel, "Any other tips you might have. I'd prefer not to be shocked like that again," he says, smoothing out his hair as best he could.

Angel stood by and watched silently. Jon just wasn't getting this. She glanced over and saw Deus charge the dart with electricity. Maybe that would make him try things right. But the next dart hit his hand and she sighed, rubbing her temples a little as she looked over. He asked for tips and she gave a small smile.
"No offense, Jon, but you should try to utilize the tips I've already given you. You have to be on your toes, ready for anything. You have to have your power at the ready. You have to already picture knocking the dart away. Watch."
She took a few steps back and looked to Deus. She concentrated and a shield formed over her arm, extending her arm to the floor. Then she nodded to Deus, signaling that she was ready for him to throw it. She was showing Jon exactly what to do. If his Telekinesis were visible, this was what it should look like.

Amadeus sighs. He figured that the way Angel's power worked and the way John's did. Not to mention she already had her shield up, while Jon was working on his reaction time and the control. He had an idea, but he'd wait to suggest it. He throws the dart at Angel as he turns towards the wall, it had no specific aim, just her general torso area. He keys in a code and a slot opens up, he pulls out 10 badminton birdies and then he places them on the table.

She watched as he threw the dart and swung her hand, knocking the dart into the wall. She looked back over to Jon and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Think you get the message?"

"I'll give it a shot again," he says, prepping for another round of things thrown at him.
It wasn't that he wasn't able to do it, it was that, without a visual aid, it was much harder for him to "catch" the object and compensate for its momentum. But, he'd keep going until he got it right.

"Well let's switch it up then. These things will slow as they get closer to you. You've played badminton right?" Amadeus grabs the first birdie and then picks up a racket. He of course hits the birdie at Jon. It was a simple plan and it might help. Amadeus had figured that the problem was the momentum. Of course the Birdie is flying in an arc.

Jon watched the birdie before trying to grab it mentally. It takes a second, and he watches the things arc begin to slow, and finally stop as he concentrates on it.
"Ha! I got it!" he exclaims, before the birdie goes whizzing off, barely missing Angel by a hairsbreadth, "somewhat..."
