TO STUDY HIS ABILITIES.


TO KNOW WHAT HE'S CAPABLE OF.


TO KNOW HOW TO FIGHT BACK.


IS IT A SURVIVABLE STRATERGY?

ABSOLUTELY NOT. I WOUND UP BEING VERY BEATEN.

WAS HE FOOLISH?

YES, BUT WHO WOULDN'T FIGHT THE ONE PESTERING YOU FOR MONTHS ON END?



... SOMEONE WHO KNOWS IT'S THE WRONG THING TO DO.

NOT ME.


I GOT UP.

I KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT.



THE NEXT TIME HE APPEARED, THE FIRST PUNCH I THREW...

HE BLED.
