Shaking my head, I sat up and looked over to see who had thrown me and was surprised to see that the woman and I weren’t alone anymore. A large man stood between me and the woman, who wore a full bodysuit similar to mine, except his was brown and gray. He looked like a walking boulder, especially with his huge muscles.
“Okay, now who are you?” I said as I slowly rose to my feet, rubbing my back.
“My name doesn’t matter,” said the man. He pointed a large finger at me. “What does matter is that you assaulted my partner. Normally I cannot stand anyone who even so much as threatens a woman, but I especially despise anyone who harms women I care about. Men must never use their power to harm women.”
“She attacked me first,” I said, but shook my head. “Doesn’t matter. I’ll kick your butt just as much as I would anyone else’s.”
But to my dismay, the man had apparently forgotten all about me. He had turned his back to me to focus on the woman, who was rubbing her arms like she was trying to massage the pain out of them.
“Gina, are you okay?” said the man in a tender voice that didn’t fit his hulking form. “Trickshot didn’t break any bones or anything, did he?”
“No, I’m fine,” said the woman, who was apparently named Gina. She sniffled. “But he did hurt me. Nothing permanent, but I’ll feel it for a few days at least.”
“I’ll make sure you get a full body check up after we finish our mission,” said the man. “Your health is of utmost importance to me and I will ensure that you stay in top health at all times.”
“Thanks, Mack,” said Gina, flashing him a smile. “I really appreciate it.”
Ugh. It was obvious that these two were in a relationship. I was over the whole ‘Girls have cooties!’ thing, but I still found these kinds of public displays of affections groan worthy. I even felt uncomfortable when my parents did them.
But Mack had his back to me and seemed to have forgotten about me entirely. Guess he was too distracted by his girlfriend to realize what a terrible mistake he had made. One solid punch to his back and Mack would be the one who would need a check up.
I flew toward Mack and punched him directly in the back.
But instead of breaking Mack’s back, my fist just stopped. It felt like I’d punched a mountain. In fact, I doubted Mack even felt my punch, even though my punch had been fueled by my super strength.
All of a sudden, Mack whirled around and grabbed me with both of his large hands. He closed his huge fingers around my body and squeezed, instantly squeezing the air out of my lungs and making me gasp for breath.
“Foolish boy,” said Mack, with no strain in his voice at all. “Attacking an enemy from behind is not honorable, but even that could have been forgivable if your attack hurt. I barely even felt it, so let me teach you what I do to enemies who fail to beat me. It will be quite painful.”
