Ryder didn't dodge, reacting to the hit with only an exhalation of air as the wind is knocked out of him. [i]Man... Hits harder than I thought[/i]. He grabbed at her while she was in close proximity, trying to grab her before she could jump back.

Nova grinned widely in satisfaction upon feeling her hand meet his stomach. She tried to jump back out of striking distance but felt his hand clench around her wrist before she could evade him. She growled and pulled back on her wrist, trying to pull free. She also attempted to land a kick with her opposite foot.
