Eventually, like he knew would happen, she was beginning to tire. Her blocks against his punches were getting weaker, and her retaliating punches had less power in them. He continued throwing punches and was shoved backwards by a blast of energy from her hands in response, dropping to one knee briefly in order to regain his balance. Any injuries that he received from the use of her powers would heal soon enough. Returning to his feet, he saw it. The blood tricking out of her nose. He had no knowledge of what that meant, she'd never told Robbie about it, but it would be in his favour. He started towards her again, even as she gasped out words and wiped the blood away from her nose. His steps slowed but he didn't stop, his hands flexing under the black leather gloves before he resumed throwing punches at her. With each one that he threw, she struggled more and her powers became less lethal. He saw how her nose continued to bleed, more so when she used her powers against him, and he made the connection. So when she failed to block a punch that he threw, he took full advantage of that and drove his fist into her abdomen, intent on knocking the wind out of her. He then swung his other hand upward and his fist collided with the underside of her chin, throwing her head back and knocking her to the ground in front of him. |
