Fun. Fun indeed. It wasn't until the sheet of smoke faded that she realized that the blast effected him just as well and a small albeit painful chuckle managed to escape. Served his ass right.
It was a bit of a struggle to stand, but she managed, swaying around until she was able to find a balance. Hawkeye looked about as beat up as she did, and it amazed her that he was still hanging in there. How was that even possible!? Whatever. She wouldn't dwell on this.
"No. You take a hint." Jessica, wrapping an arm around her waist, took a moved a step closer. Her eyes fluttered for some clarity and she gritted her teeth in effort to fight through this pounding abusing her skull. She put her hand out in front of her. "You can't kill me." And she released another blast.
Being in the weak state that she was, this took a lot out of her, and even then it wasn't as strong as it could have been. But Jessica was determined. She absolutely refused to lose to him.
