He hasn’t started bringing a staff to his practices yet and maybe that’s part of it, or maybe it’s the heat, or simply being distracted by the fact that he could once rip down buildings without a thought and now it requires so much conscious effort,
and he could juggle a half-dozen different excuses for it, but for whatever reason, this time the boulder also just rocks in place and doesn’t move at all. Even less than Vega’s attempt.
“Fuck’s sake,” Strange mutters. Neither of them even got it airborne. He takes a deep breath and shifts his stance, trying to ground himself, and tilts his head. Also more determined than before, hating to disappoint: “Best out of three, now that we know how much it weighs? We can’t leave it at that.”
Like lifting a heavy sack of sand, he tells himself. The way you test it first, a slight lift, trying to get a gauge for how much strength is needed to throw it.
