Charlie crawled up out of the crater. Skin and muscle rapidly regenerating. His clothes took quite a bit of damage, even though he had Jared make them shock resistant (they don't stop fire or shock waves, they just survive them.)

He spat some blood on the ground and picked up his flags. They were shattered beyond repair so he dropped them.

Charlie made a flirtatious gesture waving Ris closer, then braced himself for whatever might come at him.
A stupid move, but then again, he wasn't known for being a tactical genius.
