' with the amount of blood you just spat out i'd say i hit PRETTY WELL, but if you insist i learn how to hit, well, i don't mind using you as a PUNCHING BAG. ' he ground out the last of his words, the fingers of his freehand already curled tightly into a fist and before the ASSET could get a single word out, that fist went lunging straight for rugged countenance, KNUCKLES colliding against facial structure over and over, HARDER and HARDER each time he punched the other man. and then he stopped, almost reluctantly as he sucked in a SHARP BREATH as he tried to gather his bearings. the man before him may have been a super soldier, but he was ( not ) INVINCIBLE. looking over bloodied fist, his gaze drifted up to assess his HANDIWORK. ' still think i need more practice ? ' he scoffed, flexing his fingers.
