Before Clint could regain his composure, four Doom Spawns suddenly attacked him.
Just as Clint, exhausted and temporarily unable to fight back, was about to be overwhelmed, Deluca rushed out and rescued him.
"Delly! How are the family members?" Clint asked urgently.

"That's good," Clint sighed in relief.
