Despite Steve Burton's speed, it was still not fast enough to outrun the motorcycle. Seeing the motorcycle about to crash into him and Ruby Gregory, Steve held Ruby tightly in his arms without any hesitation. He turned his body around, placing himself between Ruby and the motorcycle.
Thanks to Steve's quick reflexes, he managed to evade the motorcycle by a fraction, so it only smashed harshly into his left leg before falling to the side.
With a sudden limp in his leg, Steve almost knelt on the ground. Thinking of Ruby, whom he held tightly, he feared she would be pulled down if he dropped, so he braced himself and endured the sharp pain that quickly spread from his leg to the bottom of his heart.
