Oscar slammed on the brakes, the tires sliding across the dirt a few feet. He turned in his seat to see what was happening, and was surprised to find Happy already back in the truck, with a startled Jane and a disgruntled Talpert sitting beside him.<br/><br/>"Kid, you take some getting used to," Oscar said stoically. "I don't know what's next. With some luck, Voltaje and Athena will take him down and we can go."<br/><br/>Rachel fired at Elemental as she approached him, the behemoth's full attention on her. As before, the bullets plinked into his thick, muddy flesh, disappearing as though absorbed.<br/><br/>"'Crush', my favorite fuckin' word!" he snarled, slamming a fist into his palm as he stalked toward Rachel.<br/><br/>Voltaje approached Elemental from behind, and she was right, his fury was focused on Athena. Voltaje thrust her hands at his back. Though he looked like mud, and felt like it, the substance was far tougher, preventing her fingers from actually sinking into him. Still, contact was contact, and she let him have it.<br/><br/>His body jerked straight as electricity danced through and around him, the crackling sound audible all the way to the truck.<br/><br/>Elemental took a big step forward and spun around, facing Voltaje. "You fucking BITCH!" he roared, swinging a massive arm at her. The shot was wild and high, easy for her to duck under, but just from the force of it passing over her head Voltaje knew she didn't want any of those punches to connect with her.<br/><br/>Watching from the truck, Oscar nodded slowly to Happy. "I'm an old fashioned guy, JD. I don't let the ladies fight alone." Oscar stepped out of the truck and gave the junior member a look, as though saying he could stay or go, up to him.
