"As ready as I'll ever be." as soon as David's hand glowed and fired a blast of energy, Wes went to cover and brace himself from the attack. His skin at first became durable to be able to take higher amounts of damage but that wasn't enough, he was pushed back yet again as his current adaptation wasn't able to fully protect him, causing a bit of damage to his skin until is started shifting into a more rock-like substance, increasing his durability and strength. "That's a very useful ability of yours but..." Wes started running towards David taking a strong leap to go for an overhead punch, trying to reach and hopefully damage David with his new adaptability.
