With the enemy line in disarray and half the survivors still picking themselves off the floor, the pace of the fight has steadied for Blaze. There's a second of respite after one opponent falls, enough for her to glance at Steve. Take in how he's doing. It's the first time since his return she's gotten to see him fight for real. She's not disappointed. He's still bold, still the no-holds-barred scrapper she remembers from an alleyway. But now he has the mass and the skill to get away with it. He's already adapting to his four-armed opponents, never giving them a chance for a good swing of the blades in their upper hands.
The Exo glances at him more than once as they work their way through the last wave of attacks. At least until two come at her in a pincer formation and she has to bound forward in a hurry. Crackling Light surges through her fist and disintegrates the one she rounds on first. She's trying to cut back on giving free hits...
When things go truly quiet this time she gives the room a last hopeful sweep for stragglers. Ghost appears after a minute, scanning the places where her armor's slashed and smoking, making quick repairs. Pieces of broken blade crunch under her boots as she nods to Steve. She seems quieter than usual, but at least she's herself enough to tease, "Heh. Looks like you can back up your words after all, Rogers."
