[That is totally an absolute lie, and Jack knows he should confirm with Mercy before anyone throws the first punch, but they're ready to go and he's already planning on taking it easy on Genji--at least for now. Doing that without him picking up on it will be the real challenge. He doesn't imagine that Genji will take lightly to being handled with kid gloves.
But Jack is acutely aware of the amount of damage he can cause if he really puts his mind to it, and he's not about to undo all of Angela's work. So it's not kid gloves, really. It's the same kind of restraint he needs to exercise in a spar with any non-augmented individual.
That doesn't mean he isn't going to make this a challenge. Jack is fast--inhumanly fast, perhaps more than other products of the SEP, and dodging Genji's first blow is almost effortless. He supposes he could take the hit, but he imagines this will be more satisfying. He's quick to sidestep, attempting to flank and retaliate with a punch of his own.]
