He stood and staggered shaking his head to try and focus his sight.
“I ner-ver bean...hurt that much.” He tried to make words as best as he could. But truly no one has ever hit him that hard before.
He squared his feet and found a center a swayed center but a center none the less and would come at Drake once more with his stats raised and his zombie ability and came with another punch similar to his first throw but he aimed higher for a punch to the solar plexus. It wasn’t straight on and Derik was trying hard to make sure every step was firm.
UP:2/5

Drake would punch Derik's fist! Though this time he was careful not to put his full power into it.

Blood got into the boys eye and he squinted but didn’t shut it as their fists collided. Derik was going to try and move as minimally as possible with the growing head ache of using his Qi on top of the head wound he slid off drake’s fist and grabbed his wrist to try to minimize mobility and create a better balance for Derik and bring his other hand to strike Drake’s elbow.

Once his arm was grabbed Drake would smile. Not bad... except wrong opponent to do that to. Drake would spin his hand to grab the boy's arm as well and lift him into the air and slam him down onto the ground using gravity more than his own strength, his goal to knock the wind out of the young lad.

There was a shock and shout as he was lifted and flung over but that was dead silenced when he was brought back down and slammed hard. The boy choked on the air that forced itself from his lungs on impact he was having difficulty moving from there. His fingers twitched to try and move them but his eyes were practically crossed with his head trying to focus on getting back up. The kid might be down and out.

Drake would tilt his head and squatted down lightly tapping the boy's cheek.
"Oi, ya ain't dead are ya?"

“Mebeh a lil more... than half... dead now.” Derik didn’t really want to stop but his body really didn’t want to move. Well he didn’t want to move but his head was spinning and sparkling so bad drake could see his eyes dart about from under half closed lids.

"Hm. I think I know what you need."
He would say as he gingerly picked up the boy. Then he would slowly carry the boy for a moment. Tossing him right into the pool!

Derik smacked the water not as hard as drake slammed him to the ground but the chill water certainly shocked him more than that. He bumped the bottom of the pool and tried to grasp for air involuntarily. He used the weightless feeling of the water to aid him. His light body floated to the surface and he was allowed to grasp for air finally. The water was indeed what he needed but his head still spun as he tried to push to the pool edge like a disabled fish and at no great speed either.
He picked a fight with someone who was beyond anything he had ever met. The world they came from was a new frontier that he barely could comprehend. The strength his dad had were the only ones on par with this logic.
He gripped the pool side and breathed feeling weak using his power and taking that beating it was all he could do to hold on and not float away. Alfred was at the table awaiting the signal to intervene but he would not move unless Derik or Drake called it.

Drake casually walked down the stairs eyes never leaving Derik.
"There he is. Looks like you're awake now."
He would say as he continued to the pool.
"So, you ready for round two?"

Derik looked almost sad and defeated when Drake asked his question.
“Don’t think I can...” it was a hard pill to swallow and a harder thing to say out loud.

"Well, I'll be damned, it looks like I actually knocked some sense into that brain of yours."
He would turn to the old man.
"You hear that? Your young master here just learned a lesson. So, I'm calling this fight."
Heh, I'll be damned. Guess I make a pretty damn good teacher after all! He smirked to himself.

There was a wave of the hand and the lady from earlier came out with two more men who made it to where Derik was and pulled him from the pool laying him out on a reclined pool chair to examine his wounds. There was a bit of relief in the boys eyes.
“What we’re you making a point of teaching me?” Derik was a bit confused on the matter.

"Well from what the old man was saying earlier I get the impression that this is something you do a lot. You might've gotten away with it growing up, because you had nothing but weak ass normies. Now, you go around picking up people to fight, without a second thought about who or what you were bringing here. As you saw I could've easily killed you, and that was without relying on of my abilities. Which, not to brag, but to point out how dangerous I am I have more than a few abilities that could turn bring this whole building to the ground."
He sighed and walked over to Derik.
"My point being is your damn arrogant kid. Arrogance without intelligence is just going to get you killed."
He would then smile coyly.
"As for the second lesson, I told you that in order to get stronger you needed a few near death experiences, didn't I? Well, I just gave you two."

The kid gave a toothy smile, while the nurses poked his head the woman was giving them direction, she was a certified doctor amongst them. But he smiled and he even chuckled a bit.
“I’ll certainly think twice about picking fights with you and other meta that look strong... You hit hard. To be honest I was bored I’d hear stories about old world and stuff and I didn’t want to miss my chance on being some kind of super hero... Batman is my favorite, you know he doesn’t have any powers?”
The medical team unfolded a roll of sterile equipment and they were cleaning out his wound. “He’ll have to be treated for a concussion once we stitch him up but he is going to be okay in a few weeks.”
