The manager felt he was in debt to Harvey for a little help he gave on a domestic case a while back, so for the past few weeks, he's been allowing Harvey some after-hours access, so he can get some sparring time with his assistant.
His assistant trained by Lady Shiva - well, through a Questionable filter.
Harvey Dent has always been a reasonably big and mildly burly guy. Part of his success as a prosecutor was due to his intimidating presence, which often times will win you a case before it starts. He kept in shape as a D.A. - you've got to stay lean and attractive for the voters. Years of tormenting the Bat had made him concentrate more on his fighting skills, but he was always a brawler. Never had the patience to learn the 'high-end' stuff, which is why, when it came down to a fight with the Bat, he always knew he'd go down eventually. Still, the bare-knuckle brawling was useful when some of the rabble needed to be shown what's what. Odds were always with him when it boiled down to fisticuffs with most folks.
This is new for him.
Time to see what he's learned today. He's sweaty, in workout gear, and he's been working hard. Crouching now in a fighter's stance, eyeballing his sparring partner. Preparing an attack.
"Ready?"
