"Oh yeah," Clark says, mock-certain, teeth together. "Totally."
This after a completely genuine hrrgh when Bruce bore back down. The odd wobble of his hands beneath it could almost spark the anxiety that Bruce warned him about if not for the fact he—does not feel it, feeling too many other things, like an odd splash of giddiness, of adrenaline.
After he says 'oh yeah, totally', literally nothing happens but what feels like to Bruce the same amount of pressure bearing back up at him. Clark's head falls back down against the mat with another breathless laugh—yes, an attempt had been made—before he collects himself again.
He just needs an angle. (Story of his life.)
And so there's a twist, strength thrown into his right side in an attempt to off-balance Bruce and fling him in the other direction. There is none of the training they've attempted, there doesn't feel like there's room for that at all, just brute strength or an attempt at it.
