I Give Up...

I tried. I really did. But Marshall and Mary-muse are leaving me no choice. I must tap the huge board mind for opinions if I ever hope to get over this next chapter in "Fury & Flames" (Which is about half done at present, finally

I haven't read your story either, because I avoid WIPs like H1N1 + I resist being taken off the board to read stories. (Long story, there, and involved a seriously imbedded virus on someone else's board/site that destroyed my compie and, in the process, ate 3 chapters of a story.) a-Hem.

Based on what we've seen, and on my fighter friends (counts: four of them, yep. Two have fighter girlfriends) I'm voting this way:

Mary and Marshall have received basic training in police control holds and wrist locks. They've been taught all the rules of gun handling, including Tueller's drill, which illustrates the need to fire when an attacker is 21 feet from them. (Casual internet search will pull this info up.) So in basics, they're equal.

Mary, being a girl, probably fights like a girl when she is pushed. Meaning; she does whatever she has to do to win. Bite, pull hair, gouge eyes, kick in the crotch, throw dirt, throw elbows. She brawls.

Marshall, in my opinion, also can brawl, because, when hard pressed for it, HIS goal is to win

I think Mary bites when cornered. I think Marshall is fully aware that she bites when cornered. :) I think he could ultimately subdue her if compelled to do so.

Too true. I LOVE the imagery all those scenario descriptions gave me. Though, admittedly, my MaryMuse is sneering in my head at the idea of him beating her in a footrace. Or anything, for that matter. Heh.

She might be sneering, but there's a reason why the Olympic men don't run races against the Olympic women. And why there's a Men's winner and a Women's winner in every marathon.

Sadly true. And with those delectably long legs, Marshall could run far...

Yes, darling. I know where you are. And I know what you're doing down there, too.
