Between the four of us, I doubted Sirius had it in him.  Not if we wanted to move fast.

“Grue!”  I called out.

“Don’t you fucking dare!”  He turned his head around.

What. You’re not thinking of trading places, are you?

To be fair, unlike Ballistic, Skitter is a runner who didn’t just get dropped 15 feet.

I disentangled from Bitch’s grip, avoided Grue’s clutching hand and slid to the ground.  I didn’t land with both feet under me, so I tipped over and rolled.

Taylor, you’re not on fire yet, you don’t need to stop, drop and roll!

“Ballistic, take my seat!”  I shouted, as I got my feet under me.  I glanced behind me at Crawler and broke into a run.

Yeah, I can understand why Grue doesn’t like this (his something is potentially sacrificing her life for Ballistic), but it does mean a better overall chance of team survival than Ballistic running.

“Skitter!”  Grue barked the word.

“Just go!  I have a plan!”

You do?

Have you sensed something Amy produced that can help you out?
