"Fuck!" He growls, before he violently slams her by the head into the wall. Stars cross her vision as she almost blacks out. The pain is agonising, a dull throbbing reverberating through her head as spikes of pain lance around her skull like a laser show of pain. It seems to be taking longer for him to be affected by the tentacles, thanks to his size, but his face does seem to be frozen in that one particular expression... Suddenly, Alex is behind him. He slowly walks forward into his shield, and, before Balkan can react, delivers the hardest kick to his nuts that Olivia has ever seen. The armor, not being so thick in that area, literally crumples under the blow, and Balkan falls to the floor with a weak groan as he holds his groin. Then, Alex slams the butt of his rifle hard into his skull, knocking him out. Through the daze of pain, she notices that the fighting is over, the rest of the monsters dead. She feels strong arms wrapping around her as she is lifted into the air and hugged close to a very familiar, comforting body. "Mm... You did good, girl..." Alex murmurs, as he walks back to the others. "I guess you could say bull man over there now has... "Tender-loins"!" Alex says with a goofy grin, trying to lighten the mood. A couple of soldiers laugh, most of them groan and facepalm and a few even mime putting their guns into their mouths and pulling the trigger. Brynn and Pyro groan at his horrible pun and walk over to punch him in the shoulder.
