Tit For Tat

*Bang! Bang!*

*Tink!* *Ping*

Two gunshots resounded in the penthouse, immediately followed by two ricochet sounds, one duller than the other.

Alexander turned his head toward the source of the gunshots. The suited woman, Constantine's assistant, who was looking at him with eyes wide.

The bullets had bounced off Alexander's demonized skin, on the base of his right horn, and the other off the side of his cheek, leaving barely a mark.

"Sit down," Alex growled, his voice almost modulated from the demon's voice coming out over his.

The woman took two steps back, only to collide with something behind her. Turning her head, all she saw was a burning fist smack into her jaw.

It sent her sprawling onto the couch to her left; her face burned on the right side, and howling in pain. When she tried raising her gun to fire at the angry Kary who was stepping toward her, she howled in pain again.
