Accompanied by a thunderous boom, he stumbled back several steps, feeling momentarily unable to breathe — but he held on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sh*t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind blanked out for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine shook his head fiercely and glared forward, a spark of anger flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you're not supposed to be an assassin?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squad leader stared at Blaine in pure terror, unable to believe he had just taken a direct rocket hit and was still standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!
