"I'm gonna carry you, okay? That way I can fly at superspeed."
And with that, he scoops him up into his arms, easily.
King Snake's voice comes from behind the door.

"I have no idea where to start on taking the fight to her, but I do know how she operates. All the team's SOPs. I can keep us one step ahead until I figure something out."
