[ Her smile is ripped paper, tearing from the side of her mouth and gone as quickly as the blow connects. Where her blows hit they should be shattering bones in return. She should be able to put her down quickly, drink her blackwater, and walk away from this like nothing ever touched her.
To slip cool and removed into the blacksight like the world was passing through her.
But it isn't coming, something is deeply wrong with her. There's nothing for it. She takes the hit harder, and it undoes her. Stumbles, her head ringing in a roar of blood to the head. The adrenaline starting to wear off. Stumbles, slips, hitting her knees. At least that makes sense, she can understand this feeling. Being taken down at least on her own merit, not through their - stunning tools. Whatever they called such thing.
Onto her knees, a half lash out to get her space. A promise that if she doesn't knock her out, that she will keep fighting, she always will. ]
