Ch: 113 [Elana and Talia]

[Present time]

Bruce threw three rapid jabs, she avoided the first two and blocked the last one. When Bruce stepped away, she ducked and came low to deliver an open palm to his middle. When he raised his leg and leaned to one side to protect his body, Elana slipped and slid the edge of her palm toward his other calf, going for his tendon. It was a skillful move. She planned the momentum so that his own weight would increase her strike. Bruce leaned back slightly as she drove through, barely touching her heel. Then he swung his leg back down and stopped it, midair, six inches from the side of her neck.

She blinked in surprise, Bruce slowly placed his foot down.

"What's troubling you?" He asked as he charged in for the second round. He could feel that Elana was distracted and wasn't concentrating at all on the fight.

"You wouldn't understand even if I explained," Elana also charged in and aimed her elbow at Bruce's jaw.

"I wouldn't know till you explained," Bruce blocked the blow and then elbowed her under the ribcage. The strike made her feel that pain, as well as knocked the breath out of her lungs, causing her to stumble. "Don't tell me you are having a midlife crisis?"

"Idiot!" Elana laughed as she twirled her left hand through the air, and chopped back over her shoulder with her right, hitting him across the cheek. When he evaded that, she spun and punched, but missed by a hair as his movement was unpredictable, then she ducked to her left when he did a right cross at her face. When he pulled back, she threw her hands in a reverse jab toward his chest. Bruce twisted a half-twirl away and aimed a finger strike at a spot just behind her collarbone. It didn't quite touch her, but he was already backing away as his target would've been her throat or sternum if she hadn't evaded in time.

"I know everything. I just want to know it from your mouth," Bruce didn't stop his assault. He jumped back and pulled out a katana from the rack on the far wall.

"I doubt it," Elana pulled out a spear, its length and weight were adjusted to her strength and physical height, and she lunged the spear. Bruce dodged the thrust, jumped back as the blade scraped him on the chest, and then she swung the end up over his arm, the impact sounded heavy, but was deflected as his sword edge brushed off the top of the shaft.

Then they fought. The long spear swept across in a circular cut, Bruce parried it with ease, his feet shuffled back to make room and not to give ground, a straight thrust almost managed to run her through before it got stopped with a hand strike. His free arm looped up to press the shaft away, she freed a hand and attempted a fist at his abdomen. Her wrist was clamped instantly between thumb and fingers, then Bruce took a side step and twisted his hand, using his leverage to throw her head first to the ground. But that didn't work due to her wrist remaining free as his grip hadn't been complete enough, the distraction was enough for the shaft of the weapon to slip, and the butt struck his flank as she backed into him.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

The unexpectedness of the sudden impact caused Bruce's breath to momentarily freeze. Seizing the opportunity, Elana slipped down low with her hands resting on the floor and her hips level with Bruce's. Swiftly shifting her balance, her feet appeared as her leg wrapped around the inside of Bruce's ankle and calf, and then a slight lean was applied against him. Using her momentum as well as her flexibility to yank forward with one arm, Bruce's ankle was forcefully dragged and snapped toward him, making him lose his balance.

Bruce kept on tracking her every second without letting her go out of sight. He knew that the regular cams and scanners wouldn't work against her. So, he used his stealth nano suits to follow her around, and then he saw her meeting with Elana.
