Johanna isn't exactly glad that Beyond is fighting back, but there's something about the retaliation that she appreciates. Knocking him out cold with just a few blows would be too easy, and not satisfying at all. This makes the fight longer, and slightly more even, which is good. It detaches Johanna from her anger by immersing herself in a different kind of rage -- one that is more simple, primal, and aggressive. It's a release, and an addictive one at that, better than any morphling.

Johanna's a loud and large fighter, all roars and sharp, mighty movements. She's a little more controlled than Beyond is, despite her anger. She's made a living out of killing, and a person only gets so far on pure might and luck alone.

Johanna's able to parry most of the blows, and in one instance, she's able to catch Beyond's fist and shove it straight back into his face. He does manage to kick her back once, but she stands quickly, the fight not out of her yet. Johanna cracks her neck, bares her teeth, and charges, aiming to knock Beyond over and snap the damn asshole's neck.

Really, she's simply enforcing a strict don't-fuck-with-me policy.
