Focused on Sergei, on making the man hurt for what he's done to Claire, Matt looses track of Claire.
The strike comes out of nowhere and he can hear bones crunch and the man goes limp, falling out of Matt's hold onto the pavement.
Matt regards Claire a moment, the pair of them the only ones left standing in the silence of the garage, and then he closes the distance, wrapping her in his arms, encouraging her to breath.
"It's okay." She trembles in his embrace and he lifts his hands to hold her face, reassuring her quietly. "I'm here. I have you."
