The tin man was surprisingly quick. He managed to turn and guard against Red's strike, which garnered a little notice from the singer. However it was the knight's punch that ended up cementing the whole 'surprisingly quick' notion. The knight was able to sneak his punch through Red's guard as she wasn't ready for such a quick counterattack. 

Two important but subtle things happened that prevented that one punch from being the knockout homerun, however. If the knight, through his bloodcurdling rage, was acutely aware of his touch, he would notice that about an inch away from impact an invisible force slowed, but did not stop, his armored fist's momentum. That was Bounce()'s shield breaking, which it was supposed to do as it lessened the damage that Red would take. A slight shimmer would wave out from the point of impact for a brief moment before becoming transparent again. The second thing was as the metal gauntlet continued its path, now slowed, it would hit a second invisible layer just a hair from reaching Red's actual body. Again the same sensation would happen, the punch would slow and another faint glimmer would signify a second shield layer. However, this one did not protect Red from experiencing the force of the fast moving heavy hit, which already was pushing her off her feet and into the air. But finally, the knight's punch would finally hit Red, but at a severely reduced impact, but it still felt like a pretty hard gut punch.

The punch would knock Red back and up into the air a little but she quickly recovered with a use of Jaunt(), teleporting to stop her momentum to land gently on her feet. She hoisted her sword up onto her shoulder and rested for a moment. There was a purpose to this move as a faint whisper muttered from the pulsing blue sword. [color=40E0D0][i]"Damn, Red. Heavy hitter. Watch yourself. Go easy for a minute, too."[/i][/color] It was a code so even if someone had acute hearing, they probably couldn't actually really make sense of it, but to Red, it was the Transistor providing useful data that only a computer could calculate. 

Red shot a smirk over to Roy who was now getting comfortable with his commentary. That's why Red was here. A relief pitcher for the home team. After giving Transistor and herself a minute, she went back on the offensive. 

She took a few slow steps forward before charging in a full sprint. It was only a farce and when she was just out of reach, she used Jaunt() to teleport three stories above the knight so that it would seem she were trying to land on top of him. She quickly pointed the Transistor down, aiming for the top of the knight's help. The Transistor began to increase in glow as it charged it's Breach() shot, an armor and shield sniper shot of sorts. Once Red was only about a story and a half from the ground, did she fire a thin blue laser from the tip of the Transistor. 

With no intentions of continuing her free fall, she would use Jaunt() to teleport nearby regardless of Breach() hitting or not. Her teleportation would put her close to the knight and she would attempt to swing her sword and cut the man in half.
