Eli turned to Jim while running as they heard Legion speak in one voice. "I find that so creepy when they do that." Eli turned his back and shouted "You'll never catch me Copper, nah!" Eli said in a mock Chicago gangster like voice.
"Not the time for jokes E.C. fix this now!" Jim said with a hint of frustration.
"I got this!" Eli sent an explosion to the ground, causing an eruption of sand to fly high. Covered by the sand flying, Eli slapped Jim on the chest to get his attention, and pointed into the jungle.
Together they ran as hard as they could into the jungle after they waited till they were fully covered by the jungle to make a move and go into hiding. Step after step they were slowed till Eli made his move, he spotted a tree perfect for climbing however the first branch was too high for a single person to reach. Eli sprinted forward and then crouched down two one knee, Jim Harper without a moments thought used the lower Eli to elevate himself to rather high slung branch. With Jim hanging from the branch, Eli used Jim's body to climb up into the tree. They helped each other climb the tree and gain as much ground vertically.
They when got what they thought was a safe distance both of them stopped, as they sat in the tree both of them couldn't help but smile, they both wanted to laugh. Both of them wanted laugh in such a bad way, the sheer insanity of the situation was hitting both of them. This had to be a joke. A dead man was sitting in a tree with a guy who controlled fire, being chanced by a guy who can make hundreds of copies of himself. The sight was just short of a 'two jews walk into a bar.'
