Jason Bourne vs Tintin

Post by TithonusSyndrome »

Bourne and Tintin are after a Generic International Euro-Intrigue MacGuffin. They have both seen the other around scenes of interests for weeks leading up to their confrontation, and are equally suspicious of each other as being behind the plot they've become wrapped up in. They abruptly encounter each other during a moment of alarm and pursuit in three different scenarios - on the deck of a ship like the Aurora or the Karaboudjan, in a dirtbike chase through Morocco or Tuscany (where Tintin is pursuing Bourne), and in a marketplace in either Goa or Brussels (where Bourne is pursuing Tintin). What happens?

While who catches up to whom is up for debate, the end result is the same: Jason Bourne walks away with whatever information Tintin might happen to have on the MacGuffin, leaving a severely traumatized kid behind him.

Bourne excels at beating up multiple enemies, yes. Tintin has knocked out a fucking bear, unarmed. He is typically only ever beaten when two or three people larger than him hold him and another person strikes him in the back of the head with a weapon. He may be small, and lack chop-socky training, but he's a tank. The real question is whether Bourne can block blows that can render a bear unconscious.

Surely that depends on how many airport lockers full of spy gadgets he has opened beforehand. :v
