[Another Sister reaches out in the blood and takes hold of his free hand, tugging, and it's taking whatever bits of broken willpower Accelerator has left to not just go with her. She's mumbling something but he can't discern it, and it doesn't really matter, because he's heard that inflection before. She's likely repeating something she had said to him in the past, back when he was trying to force conversation out of her before their trial began. For a second he actually squeezes her hand back before Leo's grip on him and Donnie's voice brings him back, and he lets go.
Two thirds of the way there. Only one third left.
The searchlight sweeps closer, over the crush of Sisters, and though it looks harmless right now he can't help but think what if it hurts them? Not himself or Leo or Donnie - his priority is the clones. It's always been the clones, since August 31st. That's why he visibly winces when he catches sight of the kick, though he doesn't make any moves to stop Leo from what he's doing. It's an uncomfortable dichotomy of knowing that they're fakes controlled by the security system and whatever Krang influence was overlaid on top of them, that they need to get moved out of the way so the two real people can survive, and wanting to protect them because of who they are and what they represent regardless.]
... They're innocent people. It isn't their fault.
[He's croaking that out quietly, even if it won't make any difference. They don't deserve to get hurt, even if these ones are illusions designed to drag them down and break them. The real ones, both alive and dead, certainly don't deserve to have their faces be used in this way.
The searchlight sweeps over again, and this time he manages to pull together a question amidst the cracks of lightning and girls talking over each other.]
