Bucky staggered backwards and smiled appreciatively at the punch. It was clear from her form that Carter had been through some [i]vigorous[/i] training but there was no training on Earth that could compare to fighting alongside Steve. From the sounds of it she was a talker too, Bucky liked talkers, they were too busy trying to think up stupid quips to realise when they were in over her head. For all her bluster, Stephanie [i]was[/i] in over her head. She just hadn't realised it yet.

He bounded towards Stephanie's and threw a punch towards her face with her left arm which she parried away easily. She was fast, almost too fast to believe, but Bucky had seen faster before. He launched the full power of left arm, its true composition hidden by the arm of his uniform, and it came down on Stephanie's ribs with a heavy crunch. She stepped back a few paces and Bucky was after her again.

As he approached her a thin smile appeared on Bucky's lips. "You're quick, girl, but not quick enough."

Bucky threw a vicious side kick in her direction and it hit Stephanie in the chest and knocked her back a few steps. She looked up at him, the playfulness that had been present on her face previously had all but gone, and her deep blue eyes became leaden with malice.
