——————————————————

The woman throws the empty gun right at Hope, distracting the girl who has to dodge it, and she charges at Hope, pushing her backward roughly against the wall, making her head hit harshly with a grunt.

But it doesn't stop Hope. She lands a punch directly against the woman's cheek.

"Ahh!" The woman stumbles, and Hope wraps her arms around the back of her neck, holding her in the hunched position as she brings her knee up roughly, hitting against the woman's abdomen and then slinging her to the side.

The woman kicks at her, but her foot hits glass instead, making the vase shatter on the ground. And Hope picks her up and practically throws her across a small table lining the hall.

She wipes some of the blood from her head as she makes her way over to the older woman, bending down and grabbing her by the shirt, but the woman kicks up, directly against Hope's wound.

The agent stands to her feet, tackling Hope, and they both go over the back of the couch, and onto the seat cushions. The woman gets to her feet, walking over to Hope just as the auburnette kicks her leg up, ignoring the pain as her foot lands on the underside of the woman's chin, knocking her head back, hearing a grunt coming from her.

Hope stands to her feet, balling up her fists and punching at the woman's face. She stumbles back, and Hope lands another blow, making her stumble back again.

Hope kicks her chest, and the force sends the woman through the glass of the door behind her, the one that leads to the pool.

Hope steps through the doorframe, where the glass used to be, crouching over the woman who lays dazed on the concrete, punching again and making the woman yelp. And one more, the woman's head drops, eyes closed, knocked out cold.

Hope stands to her feet with a sigh, limping back inside and to where the gun was left.

God, that would've been so much easier if I had all my strength back already.

She picks it up, and looks for the magazine she dropped, but when she turns around, she doesn't see the woman on the ground anymore.

She furrows her eyebrows, but then immediately senses her. She throws her arm to her side, but the hit is blocked as the woman grabs her wrist, knocking the gun from her hand before punching her in the face, throwing Hope to the ground.

The woman walks over to her, but Hope kicks her leg out, tripping the woman, so that she falls to the floor, who then begins trying to escape the auburnette by crawling up the stairs.

Hope grabs her legs, but the woman kicks back against Hope's temple, making the girl emit a loud grunt, trying to grasp the woman again, but then she throws her elbow back against the side of Hope's cheek.

It buys the agent a second to rise to her feet and climb up the stairs, but Hope quickly follows, knocking the woman against the wall, grasping her neck and turning them around, leaning the woman's back against the railing.

Her eyes widen at Hope before using all of her strength to push against her, sending Hope back, against the same wall she'd been against before.

She kicks Hope's wound again, and Hope doesn't know how much more she can take. She grabs the older woman's shoulders, bringing her head forward roughly and head-butting her. But the woman has the same tight grip on Hope, and she pushes her backward, not letting go, as they both break through the stair railing, falling toward the floor below.
