He'd bombed out bad. Not at first, the woman had actually warmed up to him after a minute but it was when he opened his mouth and asked her out.
She had a boyfriend, apparently. Better yet? He'd just caught up to them and stood nearly a foot taller than Cage did, covered in tattoos, pierced, bald. Looked like a bouncer. The redhead smiled at him and he dropped his heavy hands on Johnny's shoulders, only when he squeezed and started to jerk him back, Cage shifted his weight some in preparation.
"Hey-hey, I didn't know, I'm sorry. Can't we talk about this?" Johnny said but the bruiser spun him around and took a swing. It wasn't the brightest move as Cage ducked it easily and swept the giant's legs out from under him, then reflexively grabbed for the guy's arms so he wouldn't hurt himself on the way down. He figured that was enough but the big guy shoved him off balance and dove at him again.
