@auserwahlt asked: ✧ sender shoulder-checks receiver hard enough to knock them off balance. — idk this one called to me
Her first instinct in things like this was to make herself a wall- always. Plant her feet, bring her arms up to cover her face and neck. She'd gotten into enough street fights in her lifetime to know better then to leave her face, neck and core exposed...
But normal humans never ran this fast, or hit this hard.
The charge connects, and the bulwark she'd built crumbles as she's knocked back a solid two steps, almost tumbling backwards. He's moving faster then she can really react, and all that does is steel her resolve. She'd need to predict what he was about to do, and act before he did, correctly.
"Son of a bitch-!!"
A follow up hit has her actually catching his arm, allowing him in close just so she can duck behind him and try to put him in a chokehold. He's far taller then her, but she had the benefit of a tyrant-level grip, and a virus that refused to let her quit while she was ahead.
Bullets didn't work, this was the only thing she could do to even TRY and escape this.
