Just as Duncan had planned, Toon Girl's dynamite did a real number on the Big Brown Menace that was Clayface, blowing what passed for his upper torso across the whole damned room and making a big goddamned mess. 

...And just as he probably should've thought about, the blast also knocked him ass-over-head and across the room, bouncing hard enough to leave a series of small divots in the floor as he went until he finally crashed ass-first into the far wall, making a neat person-shaped indent as he stuck into it for a few seconds before falling flat on his face.

[color=teal]"Well... that kinda sucked..."[/color] Grumbled Duncan as he stood up after a brief moment on the ground, seemingly unharmed but very clearly starting to get a little [i]mad[/i] at the ridiculous turn his day had taken. Which was only exhasperated when he looked down and realized that although [i]he[/i] was extraordinarily durable, his clothes were... [i]less so.[/i]

Which is, all in all, a very roundabout way of saying he was now basically just standing there in his boxers and (most of his) undershirt with the tattered remains of his tracksuit  hanging haphazardly off his body. He didn't have long to get too mad about it, however, because that was about when Monny finally finished putting itself back together and locked his solitary eye on the Rookie with a look that just seemed to [i]scream[/i] 'TARGET ACQUIRED'.

He looked to his left and across the room and saw the Warden bearing down on Lizard like something out of a Ridley Scott movie. A glance to his right revealed that Captain Marvel had taken to punching Toon Girl in the face and whipping miscellaneous items at his other warped teammates. And if the sudden shaking of the walls were indicative of [i]anything[/i], it was that there was [i]something else[/i] wrecking shit in this tower he hadn't seen yet.

All things considered, things were looking pretty grim and stupid in Metro Tower that day. 

[color=teal]"Welp, no way 'round it..."[/color] The Rookie flatly stated, shaking his head and cracking his knuckles. [color=teal]"'Deep End' it is, then."[/color]

And so, with an audible inhale and a calming exhale, the 'Literally Who?' of the team took one step forward and abruptly sank slightly into the crater that formed around him as his foot hit the floor, before kicking off and rocketing straight through the [i]sound-barrier[/i] and closing in on Clayface with a thunderous [b][I]BANG![/I][/b] and a fist cocked back for the mother of all haymakers.

Was it a good idea? Almost assuredly not. But at least it was doing [i]something[/i].
