( matt moves faster than anyone kieren has ever seen, a whirling blur of black against the darkness. brutally efficient in his economy of motion. he is fast and unbelievably ruthless as he beats down the men who had been torturing him only minutes before. they had been laughing right as the lights had gone out.
he cuts the ropes away from his wrists and then he's gone in the next second, before kieren can even ask him not to leave. he's gone and he's beating the leader down into the concrete. it's clear that the man is done, he's practically limp on the floor, but matt doesn't stop. he keeps going until kieren's sure he can see slick blood on his hands.
and for the first time, he finds that he's a little scared of him -- this man that he loves so much, that he was prepared to die for. )
Stop...
( his voice is scratchy from yelling, and he speaks barely above a whisper. but matt doesn't stop, so kieren has to try and slip off his chair. expecting his legs to carry him, but they collapse almost immediately. his body hurts so much, every nerve ending screaming at him in a perfect cacophony. and though he's crumpled on the floor, the only thing he can think to say is; )
8DDDDD
