He had hit the ground running, his gun leveled and ready to end this with a single warning shot. Then he noticed the damndest thing: Steve was having the time of his life. Dom didn't need to be able to see through the mask to tell. He'd been fighting from the moment he could walk. It's how Iron Fists raised their young. He had developed a knack for reading body language. It was one of the things that made him so close to unbeatable in a close quarters fight. He could read muscle movements so well it was almost like precognitive ability in a fight. Helped him anticipate a person's next move. But it could reveal other things too. Subtle difference in how muscles tense when happy, or scared, or angry. He'd spent a lifetime learning these things. He could see the barely restained elation in the wiry psychopath.<br/><br/>Frankly, Dom was pretty sure the mechanic was gonna get his ass handed to him. This chick looked like a real fighter. And she was highly motivated to win. But Steve had the benefit of lunacy on his side. A real wild card, lunacy. It might give him an edge. Or it might blow up in his face. Such is the nature of lunacy. Once he made his similarly deranged offer to the a girl...an offer he seriously doubted Big Tim would honor if Steve lost...Dom just shrugged, and stood back to observe the fight passively.<br/><br/>Then the damndest thing happened. Someone spoke to him through his private channel. No...not someone. Sara. Dom had something of a 'What. The. Fuck." moment as he stared at his radio with a raised eyebrow. Then he brought it up and with a calmness belying his surprise he said "Yes, Sara? "
