Michael threw a punch at the greasy haired man, but he’d been ready for it and ducked out of the way before throwing a punch of his own. Michael flexed as he took the blow to the gut and threw an elbow at the man’s face, managing to hit him on the edge of his jaw. The man wobbled for a moment then ducked low and tackled Michael slamming him into a cloth covered wall. Michael grunted as he struck it and slammed his elbow down on the back of the man’s neck. The man collapsed down onto the ground.Michael very carefully removed himself from the wall and placed a glowing hand on the man’s back, healing a freshly damaged vertebrae below his neck, a cracked jaw, and a fractured knuckle bone. Michael was surprised to find that he himself was unhurt, his durability seemed to be reaching a point that kept normal levels of harm from affecting him much.He looked around and realized that there was a crowd around him and the bouncer from the front had come in.“What’s going on?” he asked. He quickly assessed the situation and moved toward Michael.“Sorry about that,” said Michael, holding up his hands. He gestured at the unconscious body. “He’ll be okay. I’ve healed him.”The bouncer looked at him. “You're the healer that’s been in town?” he said, pausing. “Well shit, you healed my aunt last week. You can stay, but no more trouble. I’ll drag this fool outside.”“You sure you don’t need help?”The man laughed. “I’ve dragged much bigger out of here. Don’t worry about it.”Michael nodded and went back to where the blonde woman was waiting for him, nibbling on the nail of her pinky finger as she looked him over. Once he was closer she grabbed his collar gently and pulled him close. “Promise you won’t go as easy on me as you did with him?”Michael swallowed. “I know I said you were good, but wow, that was an understatement.”She laughed a bit and dragged him back. He could hear Nykas’s laughter in his ears. (...)
