Shay's body moved.
Explosive.
His legs snapped together. Hard. His core tightened. Every muscle contracting at once. Then he kicked down against the concrete. The force launched his entire body upward.
A kip-up. One smooth motion. From flat on his back to standing in less than a second.
"Woo! Woo!" Shay shouted. His arms spread wide. "I feel amazing! Like the power is surging inside me!"
He looked at his hands. Flexed his fingers. Watching them move.
Liam exhaled. 'That was fast. Way faster than a normal person should move after taking that hit.'
"Thought i actually killed you."
Shay grinned. "Nah. The pain was there at first. Everything burning. But then it just disappeared. Now I feel incredible."
Liam nodded. "Good. Now we know you won't die. Two powerhouses in the group now."
Shay's grin widened. "I'm really happy this worked out. Thanks, man. I can't believe I really didn't like you before."
