Nate barely had time to move out of the way when Eli started pounding at the wall with his fire. "Damn it!" he grumbled, the sound of his complaint smothered by the sound of exploding metal. He ducked out of the way beside a nearby pod as Eli destroyed the wall. Nate wasn't watching the wall though. He was watching Eli. Or rather the obviously distressed look on his face. Eli seemed to be in a mix between panic and rage and was obviously concerned for Aiko's safety. Until now, Nate didn't even know Eli was capable of such emotions. He found found himself reevaluating his opinion on the southerner.
When the wall split apart and Eli tried to pull himself to his feet, Nate stood for a second, inspecting the scene. The silence that followed Eli's outburst was deafening to him now. He watched the other man struggle. On any other occasion, Nate may well have just left Eli to his own business. Maybe even heckled him a little. But now things were different. Nate sprung into motion.
Several duplicates were spawned. A couple leaped through the hole in the wall Eli had created and headed off in search of Aiko and her kidnapper. Two more grabbed hold of Eli and helped him to his feet, one saying "Come on, Opie. No time for lazing around." They swung Eli's arms around their shoulders and were quickly dragging him through the hole in the wall after the others. One last duplicate was behind them but he stopped for a moment as he turned to Damian and asked "You coming?"
