"Doubt it." Toad whipped a throwing knife out from his belt and flung it at her with practiced precision, aiming for her torso. He knew she would heal from any wound he managed to inflict, but the more he could do to get her off-balance, the better.

Rina blocked it...sort of. She unclenched a fist and held it in the path of the knife so it would go through her palm. It was sharp so it slid back out and thumped on the forest leaves softly when she held her arm out flat. A little patter from a few blood drops. The wound healed instantly. He was acting too much the macho-man not to see through his strategy, so while she let him back her up she didn't let him get her frazzled.
"You think you're doing better, trying to kill me? Even if that were true you'd be better off getting someone else to do it. You've got too much gingivitis to have a healing factor." If it wasn't gigivitis it was some other horrible disease. This sky smelled bad up and down and all over.

He sneered at her. "Trust me, peach, there's nothin' you c'n say about my ugly face that I haven' heard before." He'd been hearing jibes like that his whole life. His teeth were weird just from his mutation, and it hadn't helped that he'd been deprived of dental care for the first fourteen years of his life.
He snapped out a low kick toward her legs, careful to steer clear of her hands as best he could.

She wasn't quite fast enough to dodge this one. His foot hit her toes as she jumped up to dodge it. "Just saying. Why are you out here? You don't strike me as the heroic type. Decided to do something good as your last act?" She walked on the balls of her feet now as she backed away. Her toes were smarting. His kicks were powerful.

"M'not the heroic type," Toad agreed. He'd never thought of himself as the hero. It was hard enough not thinking of himself as a demon. "I'm out here on a job." He darted forward again, throwing out another kick in the same manner, aimed a bit higher up.
He smirked at her. "You're the job."

Rina took the blow to the knee but made sure to take a quick swipe at him while his leg was still out and her bones were still crunching. Then of course, she promptly fell into a heap on the forest floor, biting her lip really hard not to make a noise. He'd be in the same shape if the claws made contact.
But it was what he said that made her want to curse the most. Someone not only knew about her, but had the resources to do something about it. It was a very startling.
(I'm assuming that's what you meant by higher up. either way she takes the hit and tries to dish one)

Toad felt her claws slice across his shin and let out a shout of pain, stumbling backward and gritting his teeth to keep from making any further noise. It was painful, but not the worst pain he'd been in by far. He'd been shot and stabbed and tortured and God-knows-what-else more times than he could recall. And he had the scars to prove it.
"There we go!" he shouted at her, getting worked up by the pain. "Now things are getting interesting!" He charged forward again before she had time to recover, throwing a fist toward her.

Jasmine was still unconscious not far away. She stirred, her body still echoing the pain of her attack. It wasn't so bad now. She could deal with it. A bit of time had passed. She could tell from the way the shadows of the trees around her were pointing. It was going to get dark soon. She climbed to her feet and was shaking her head free of dizziness, when she heard a cry of pain. Without pausing even to consider the pain she was already in, she reached out her mind. As soon as she felt Toad's pain, she tried to take him emotions, so he couldn't feel the pain. She hoped it would work. She was still weak, so her powers weren't at their best, but it felt like he was being attacked as she had. She wondered if she could stand his pain twicefold...

(um...actually according to my post they are kind of far away. it took Rina a couple of hours to get to that area. kind of far for an empathy reach. "When Rina left the rest stop it took her about half a day to reach the small town with the only gas station along the highway for a while." In Toad's post he said he was a bit closer but that didn't make sense because rest stops are usually pretty far from gas stations/hotels/etc. So I corrected it in my post. Rest stops are there because of the lack of gas stations/hotels/civilization to be a safe place for tired semi-truckdrivers to stop and...rest. ) She was on the ground now, so it wasn't like there was any part of her that he could go for that she couldn't reach out to to block. It wasn't as if she was standing and would have to change positions rapidly to even be able to reach her feet; she could reach all her body parts fine with a swing of the arm. So she reached up a clawed fist to meet his. She wasn't recovered yet and couldn't stand, but she could still defend herself. She'd been through training with Stryker, after all.

Toad took the claws to his fist with a growl of pain and while her right hand was occupied, snapped out his other hand to grab the left arm by the wrist. He just had to immobilize her hands as best he could and then he could deal with her more easily. After all, he still had an ace up his sleeve in this fight. All of her cards were on the table.

Her claws weren't solid so they didn't get stuck in his hand like he assumed they would. She pulled her arm back and, since he was close enough to now, she went for his face with another swipe.

Left hand screaming with pain, he grabbed her wrist down away from his face as he felt pain shoot through his cheek. He held her wrists in a bruising grip, weaker on the left side, he sneered at her. "That was not very nice," he murmured. "But don't worry, you c'n make it up to me. Who're you workin' for, peach?"

"For the satisfaction of seeing our species slowly dwindle to extinction," she said, not wincing in the slightest. "I don't work for anybody." Well, she used to work for the U.S. government, but the base got destroyed and she really didn't know what to do anymore. She knew their operations were tip-top secret so trying to get back in touch with the military would be a bad idea. The only peopel she could legally talk to would be people who already knew about it, and as far as she knew those peopel were already dead. So even the peopel on her side wouldn't be anymore if she tried to join the ranks again. It sucked.

"All this trouble just to see that?" he snickered. "Well, I wouldn' want to deprive you, then. Th'last thing you'll ever experience is a filthy mutant dyin'." With that, he spat a thick wad of slime over her mouth and nose. It was liquid for just a moment before it hardened into a thick foul-smelling plaster over her face.
Toad released her hands and stepped back quickly. He wanted to watch her suffocate.

(i'm gonna be gross too :-P )
Rina couldn't pry the sticky, hard, digusting stuff off her face. She could just barely see out of her half-covered left eye. She didn't panic though. She'd been through worse with Stryker. No, she couldn't pull the sticky mess off the skin, but she could dig her nails in and peel the skin off. A new layer grew back as she pulled the first one off, but it had to have a stomach-twisting effect anyway. Once she had her fingers under enough skin she gave it a really hard jerk and it came away all at once. most of the layer under the...snot stuff...came off with it, and her face looked extremely bloody and disgusting for just fractions of a moment before it grew back. She made sure to keep a hand up by her mouth to protect it while she gasped for air and glared at him. She popped the claws on her other hand again, still feeling slightly light-headed.
