War-Pulse watched from afar as the woman's face shaped and molded into a subtly monstrous grin, her attitude also seemingly thrilled by the idea of a fight.  [i]Definitely metahuman[/i] was the phrase that echoed in War-Pulse's mind, the best conclusion for her agility and strength.  It was probably why the mysterious employers he was working for had an interest in her, to see who made her, what gives her these powers, possibly adapt on her tech.  

Her vocal response was expected, even anticipated, but cutting it off and shooting acid at him was not.  By muscle memory alone, War-Pulse managed to dart out of the way of the acid spit, the ooze grazing and singeing   the tail ends of his jacket.  He did not get a chance to retort, however, as the combined scream instantly disoriented the merc.  He winced, raising his hands to hold his ears, rendering him helpless to the opponent's powerful shot to the chest.  The contact echoed through the room, causing some of the glass in the windows to crack as he was pushed back a few steps by her attack, holding his chest in surprise. It was clear to Pulse she was attempting to overwhelm him, keep him on his toes long enough so he would never get the chance to strike back, keeping his offense at bay with a series of contraptions and tricks.  A clever strategy, especially combined with her impressive speed.  This was no novice he was dealing with, he probably would have been screwed by this point if he was a normal human.  Her flickering speed allowed her to continue with her assault, the small explosives detonating in War-Pulse's face before he got a lock on her, covering him in fire and smoke with a deadly burst.  Crates and rubble spread over the warehouse with each detonating orb, craters now filling the ground around where the mercenary stood, enveloped in a haze of black powder.

He was hidden now, rendered concealed to a human's eye, possibly even looking temporarily defeated by the attack.  However, an audible chuckle could be heard after a few seconds from behind the smoke.

Almost as soon as he spoke, a blue aura became visible through the smoke, highlighting his humanoid form only for a second before the smoke was blown outwards as he shot from the smog, his body a blur as it erratically darted across the room in a surprising display.  With a spur of momentum, he tried to catch the already speedy woman off-guard with a straight jab, catching her right in her grin and sending her hurtling back into the wall behind her, cracking into the hard concrete and steel walls.  If this would not remind her that she was not dealing with a human, the follow-up energy ball he was cooking in his other hand would, as he hurled the baseball-sized charge directly after her, detonating at her chest region with just enough kinetic force to push her back into the wall she rebounded off of.  He did not want to hit her too hard, after all, he needed her alive.

He zipped back out of immediate striking distance, keeping his guard up for her rebuttal, though not before passing another taunt her way. [color=00aeef]"Could be wrong though, maybe a few more love taps will enlighten me!"[/color]
