A tingle of exhilaration coursed through his body when he felt the impact. Thankfully, he had his NEXT powers or else he would have crushed his hand on the man's inhumanly sturdy face. It still hurt like hell despite it all, but there was no time to bemoan. His partner was running on seconds by this point and it was about the only thing keeping the blond lucid.
