“Clockblocker managed to tether Mannequin in place. Crawler freed himself from the same trap by tearing himself in two against the immovable object. It was Piggot who managed to keep Crawler in the blast area.”
Tearing himself in two… that’s actually a pretty creative use of Crawler’s power.
But how did Piggot do it?
“How?”
“She had Weld pass on a message, telling Crawler what we had planned. He was so tickled at the idea that we would be able to hurt him that he stayed where he was while the teams made their retreat.”
Pfft. Nice.
“Just like that?”
“Apparently so.”
“If he survives-”
“He didn’t.”
Woo! The big guy’s down!
The rest are less likely to have made it than Crawler was. Even Jack, with his maybe-plot-armor. We may have stamped out the Slaughterhouse Nine here, most chaotically.
