[The cold weather hasn't deterred Accelerator from drinking his canned coffee. Sure, he wishes America sold hot coffee in cans, but the cold brew is better than nothing.
School is out for winter break so he doesn't need to worry about getting up in the morning, which is why he's out doing a coffee run despite the late hour. Getting mugged or harassed also isn't an issue, since the battery for his choker is charged. He isn't the least bit concerned, despite the neighbourhood not being the safest.
He hears what's sounding like some kind of altercation in front of the dive bar before he comes around the corner. Not that surprising to him, and he's planning on just walking by and not getting involved because it's probably two drunks scuffling.
He comes around the corner, and stops when he sees a familiar helmet.]
....
[That's Jason's helmet. That's Jason. From the build he's guessing it's the younger one, and he's beating the shit out of someone with a tire iron, right there on the street.
Of course, Accelerator is no stranger to violence. He knows it intimately. For him, violence has always been easier than peace. In addition to that, working for the Society and living in Central means it's something pervasive and unescapable in his life.
But this is a little different. Jason has become something of a parental figure to him, different from the vast majority of adults he's encountered. There are only a few he would consider under that umbrella, and....
And there's really only one of them he's seen this level of violence from in person.
He knows Yoshikawa shot and killed Amai Ao, but he never witnessed it and in general she isn't a violent person. Yomikawa had straightforwardly told him she would never raise a weapon against a child, so even though she's volunteer law enforcement he's never seen her be violent. He knows the older Jason is completely capable of violence but he's never seen it firsthand, only the end result.
That leaves Kihara Amata, the scientist who developed his ability. The guy that he modeled his personality and sense of style after. The piece of shit who nearly beat him to death twice, the first time in the street on a night like this.
Jason is nowhere near as bad as Kihara, the two aren't even comparable. But Kihara is the person who comes to mind as Accelerator stops on the sidewalk, watching and unsure if he should interfere like he did with the prior fight Jason was involved in.]
