Hank attacked the pells with twin butterfly swords. While he worked, he thought of ways to combat a teleporter. He remembered the way the displaced air felt on his fur--in a windy environment this cannot be depended on--and the smell of the smoke when Azazel used his mutation--can the smell be masked or faked? What of Azazel's allies? Hank doubted Riptide would be effective since his power would effect Azazel as well--unless he teleported at the right moment. And what of Magneto? He was the true danger. Perhaps Hank could experiment with polymers for use instead of metals?
As he thought, the blades worked their dance, always apart but linked, as he and Raven once were. He had tried different weapons first when he decided he was the best suited to confront Azazel. The sai or hooked daggers had been his first choices but he decided he needed to keep him at a distance since he was so much more skilled. Hank then looked into swords and since Azazel used two, it was only natural for him to as well.
If he took the time to truly look at himself he would see his obsession with Azazel was a textbook case of transference but he wasn't ready to be this angry with Raven yet.
