Batman had been confused by what Buffy was talking about until that kick to the stomach. It doubled him over until the crack into the left side of his jaw. Batman stumbled a little bit as the younger woman spoke to him, her words grinding on the fact that she was used to hunting far bigger and badder things than him. Then came the shot to the right side of his jaw. He reeled backward some more, those had all hurt a bit more than he had expected them too.<br/><br/>She may have had diminuitive size, but her skills and strength were no slouch by any means. "You are making a big mistake Buffy," he said through gritted teeth. His right hand was clenched and this time he unloaded a right hook for her left ribs. It was still slower than either of her punches had been, but unlike last time he didn't slow down or take anything off of the incoming blow.
