Rumlow stopped relying on brute force. Instead, he pressed his palm tightly against the cold, twisted metal of the hatch, a cage that symbolized death.
His five fingers curled slightly. The abnormally overgrown, sharp keratin at his fingertips, flashed with a dim metallic sheen like five tempered daggers, easily piercing the tough alloy surface!
