The real question was whether Steve was actually going to go through with this charade. He didn't want to. Perhaps he'd simply avoid the man tomorrow. Or toss his hat in the ring and forfeit without throwing a punch. Although he had a feeling Alexei wouldn't be satisfied with that.
"Tomorrow is definitely a wiser proposition," Steve said. "Probably some place with a lot of room and as far away from civilians as possible. Wouldn't want anyone else getting hurt. There are children here, after all."
