Crawler- I could see him prowling the streets, soaking up the flame without a care.  He was headed in the general direction of the parking lot where the heroes were, taking his time, his movements languid.

Clockblocker and Cache (and everyone stored inside Cache’s power) are gonna be in trouble once they unfreeze, if Crawler camps them.

The heroes were still frozen in time, I noted.  It was hard to make them out, as they’d been at the epicenter of the blast.  Ursa was fading away, and Weld-

Weld was fighting.

Oh shit. Mannequin? I mean, if it were one of the others, Taylor would probably notice them before noticing what Weld was doing, but Mannequin stays invisible to her by dodging the bugs.

Cache and Clockblocker stood frozen in time as Weld defended them against a series of attacks.  The boy’s skin was glowing from the ambient heat, the fine wire strands of his hair melted into a single smooth layer.

He might have been rendered nude as the flames ate at his clothing and costume, but he wore the same fireproof suit as his teammates, the arms and upper body tied around the waist.

should I read anything into the fact that Taylor thinks about Weld being rendered nude by the flames
