As Megumi felt her fist connect, the first thing Megumi noticed was how [i]hard[/i] his face was. That did not feel like punching flesh and bone, and that certainly did not [i]sound[/i] like flesh and bone; rather, it was more like flesh and [i]metal[/i]. Was that what it was like to be facing a superdurable superhuman? In any case, it seemed like Megumi's instinct to add more force was right. Now that she knew how tough this punk could be, Megumi didn't have to worry about holding back so much. She wouldn't allow her very first friend here to be harassed. Megumi stepped in front of Phoebe as if to protect her from Deon, but Phoebe seemed to have other plans.

Megumi turned back to see Phoebe already confronting Deon herself, moving ahead of her to do so. Megumi lowered her fists, but not to the point where she wouldn't be ready to launch another attack. She watched on as the scene unfolded, not really sure how to react to this. Was it normal to lie against someone like that? Megumi pondered this for a moment as Deon stared back at her, then blushed in surprise when Phoebe suddenly kissed him. As much as she wanted to make sense of what she was witnessing, every fiber of her being was telling her that that was most assuredly [i]not[/i] a normal interaction. Fortunately, the event lasted only a heartbeat, but Megumi was still dealing with the shock that came. She was still stunned in silence when Phoebe came back over, looking back between Deon and Phoebe. 

When Deon addressed Megumi, she snapped out of it and looked up at Deon as he invaded her personal space. She glared back at Deon, not afraid of him or the attitude he was putting up to face her. He may be taller and perhaps have a better build than her, but she was still confident in her own strength. "[color=a36209]Step back,[/color]" Megumi said in as threatening a manner as she could as she slid one foot back, as well as reeling her fist back in a threatening gesture. If he was not gonna back off, Megumi would [i]make[/i] him.

Again, however, Phoebe proved that she was not a delicate little flower to be trampled upon, but instead bared her thorns with a incredible display of her powers. Megumi stepped back as the vines formed a barrier between her and Deon. Megumi moved a little closer and poked one of the flowers on the vines with a finger, wondering how so much plant matter could just grow like this, even with the ability to control plants.
