Duo didn't have any supernatural or superhuman abilities, just the training he was given and the drive to succeed.

He had been trying his best to keep an eye on Nerdanel as he moved through the creatures. But of course it would be the moment he took his eyes off of her that the worst happened. He heard, more than saw, when she went down. He spun around and rushed to her side, slicing through the tentacle of some creature rising up to try and pull her down.

"Here, grab onto me.." He shoved one of his daggers into his belt and knelt down to try and help Nerdanel.

"We'll just run. Think you can keep up?" He'd carry her if he had to.
