A chorus of noise snaps me out of my thoughts as the teenage turtle has found his legs and begun scrambling to the elevator shaft, safe now from the monster of his own creation. I'm on him before he's finished attaching the cable to begin his descent. His collar in my hand as I press forward, his upper body tilted out over the empty shaft. Were I to let go he would fall in much the same way as his friends had, though not smashed through a wall in pieces, and become some healthy protein for the steel giant. It was another reason that such outdated suits as his weren't used, they limited mobility and certainly didn't float well.
