Of Two Minds...

As Parasite lunged at you, it seemed for a moment that time had slowed considerably, that you could think clearly. Very clearly and very quickly! In the meantime, Harleen was about to fight back with Harley's signature mallet, looking serious and pissed off, like she was about to play baseball with Rudy's purple melon. 'Batter up!' she thought. But you responded before she could swing.

You fell backwards and rolled on your back to your shoulders, launching Rudy with your feet right over you and Harleen. He fell on his front, pushing himself up with a bit more effort than before.

"Just stay down!" Harley growled out loud, charging at him with her mallet and jumped up high to squish him like a bug. Unfortunately, she was caught by her mallet and dangled before him. "Put me down, you leech!" Harleen kicked him, but he caught her leg with his other hand, and they both dropped the mallet as he... started draining her, too!

"Quinn! No!" you shout. Rings similar to electricity glided up his arm to his shoulder with consistency, one after the other as Harleen's energy was being drained. You didn't hesitate to charge at him, channeling the raw strength of a bull elephant. The sheer noise of the elephant's trumpeting actually gave you resolve to hurt him for hurting Harleen... You tackled into him, sending him flying into and out through a building, and caught Harley before she landed. "Gotcha."

She smiled weakly at you, reaching up with all her strength to cradle your cheek. "You're a-ok, boss. That's important... Harley just needs some downtime..." She took a deep breath and sighed, closing her eyes. You prop her sitting up against a wall, making her as comfortable as you could.

"Rest, sweetie," you said softly. Then you glared determinedly at the hole in the building you made. "Mr. S is gonna burn that Parasite off of this city."
