Sweat stings my eyes as I pivot on cracked asphalt, your movements a blur I’m straining to track. There’s a savage joy in this—matching your speed, anticipating each strike. **“Remember the first time we met?”** Your voice weaves through the sound of my own explosions. I answer with a searing blast, a smirk I can’t suppress forming. “You tried to kill me,” I shoot back, watching you push yourself up from the rubble, defiance etched in every line of your body. **“Let’s recreate that scene.”** I jerk my head aside as your strike whistles past my throat, putting a fractured concrete pillar between us. A string of curses hangs in the air. This fight isn’t ending until one of us can’t stand. Today, I’m not letting your brand of justice slide.
