Finally. There's a sort of fierce upwelling of joy as Snart reacts exactly the way he needs to, the way Mick had intended him to. He takes the shot, head snapping back with the force of the blow. Mick doesn't hesitate, left arm up on guard and his right coming across his body in a hard cross.

A fight. Quick and pure and brutal. Enough for both of them to work out frustrations, anger and emotions that they were simply incapable of talking about.

The fight isn't a long one, but it serves its purpose. Replacing words with punches kind of drains all the bitterness out of him. But there's still a part of him that still has issues with it. Talking isn't much of an option for people like them, but is this really the right route to go, either? "Why'd you do that?" The question comes soft and quiet between breaths when it's all over, a curious frown on his face.

Mick works his jaw a moment. He feels better. Drained. Easier to focus on things.

"Cause you needed it," he answers simply. "You're not your old man, Snart. There's nothing wrong with needing a fight to clear your damn head."

He looks uneasy, still, even at the reassurance. "I dunno," he mumbles with a slight shake of his head. There's a clarity in the aftermath that he can't deny, but it might still take some convincing for him to accept this as a regular thing. "but...thanks." Even if he has his hangups with it and needs to process through it still, he appreciates Mick doing something in effort to help.

Mick makes a sound. "Stop fuckin overthinking it," he grumbles, nudging his shoulder. His jacket is left where it fell and he heads back towards the rickety little refrigerator to fish out a beer and find something to work on to keep his hands occupied. The fight drained the frustration and the anger out of him, leaving him clear headed again.

Snart will just have to process it on his own time.
