Another burst of fire burned around them as the Brawler assisted his mate's last stand, taking away her chance of escape again.

They got stuck in, digging into the shield, as she tried to stop his momentum.
Her feet dragged through the concrete, slowing him down, but in the next few moments, it was apparent that she wasn't strong enough.
