"Don't compare me to you." America states flatly, mostly in a relatively deep tone of voice, because it sounds hard core and heroes always say hard core shit during fights. No, he didn't act on anything. He doesn't even flinch because even though the stab was painful he's not in pain. His threshold is insanely high due to being in so many wars and terrorist attacks and stuff. Try having the pain of millions course through you. Life of a nation is awesome. "There's always another way. You don't have to fight like this."

He's on edge though, watching her. He doesn't want to kill her, but he's on guard as he hasn't figured out what she is. It's questionable that she's human, though honestly since she looks like one his abilities to figure out anything beyond that are very minimal.

Feelings? America feels awkward all of a sudden, and the area by his kidney throbs. He doesn't know how to reply to that, but good thing: his knees are gone for again, which he kind of expects and tries to dodge, but he ends up in the other two: getting punched (stop going for his kidneys what is wrong with you) and the jab barely grazes his midsection. That kinda stings since topical cuts hurt like a bitch.

He reaches out to grab her arm though, the one with the knife, before she can pull away. And he'll try to grab the knife from her. Now he's starting to get annoyed.
