Bab 1996: Timely Assistance

Luke stepped forward, lifted up the metal door easily, and picked up the irascible little raccoon.

Although Rocket was heavily injured from the collision, he still said stubbornly, "D*mn it, you black bat, hurry up and put me down, or I'll make you suffer… Ooooh!"

The cursing stopped, and he couldn't help but moan as a comfortable feeling wrapped around him.

Luke's left hand glowed with a faint white light as he used Light of Life to heal the raccoon.

Luke then fished Rhodes out of the rubble. "I'll take them out. Dr. Banner, you can let go now."

With that, he disappeared down the passage he had come from.

Stunned for a few seconds, Dr. Banner finally felt the heavy weight on his shoulders. "B*stard."

He raised his intact left arm and smashed the remains of the building he was holding up into pieces.

Without support, the wreckage crashed down and buried him.
