I don't bother blocking the shot, he's too fast. Instead I use the opportunity of being open to get a solid swing in at Bucky's jaw, taking a break from the body shots that are as risky as they are effective, if that arm of his gets in the way of one.
Bucky's always been a tremendous fighter, although I haven't seen him brawl that much. It's no surprise that he excels at this as much as the stealth operations he used to go out on. Acrobatics, however, are not the first thing I learned or the last thing I rely on. The fight I'm putting up is genuine, but as that fist drives into the place the bullet tore through, it confirms with startling clarity how this fight is going to end, for me. Not because of the pain, not because I can't bear to hit a former partner, my friend- my family- as the blow I landed just proves, but for far more important reasons.
