Pushed away by the shockwave, Hayley hit her back against the steel cage while the man made a point blank contact with Isaac's cheek. "Isaac!!" The blonde felt her previous sense of urgency replaced by raw rage. She was about to make a headlong charge had it not been for him speaking up.

Or, rather, had it not been for the sudden change in his tone.

"Is that all you got? I know [i]babies[/i] that can hit harder than that!"

[i]What?![/i]

"Isaac?" The blonde, now feeling a sense of dread, looked into his eyes, only to see a maelstrom of insanity and cruelty within his steely grey eyes. Despite being on the receiving end of a hit that could crumble a human body from the inside, nothing seemed to have happened to him. Physically, he had not budged from his spot and, mentally, he was visibly unfazed by the attack. Once again, this left Hayley in a state of shock, so much so that she could only stand and watch from where she stood.
