Summary: An enemy defeated, relief for Freak Nation.
Dragging themselves away from the helicopter wreckage, billowing smoke poured from the scene like blood streaming from a fresh bullet wound. Alec already had plenty of those to keep the medics at TC busy; Max had a few of her own too. But neither of the transgenics paid attention to their wounds as they fought for an escape before the gas from the engine gave the fallen transport behind them more fire power to cause an explosion.
Both X5's scrambled up this hillside of the valley the chopper had crash landed into, both tired and bled dry of patience.
Alec, a breath ahead of Max stumbled suddenly as he lost his footing on his injured left leg – Max was at his side within the instant, slinging one of his arms over her shoulders and carefully but hurriedly helping him make their escape from the scene.
"45…2!" She ignored the scream behind her, as did Alec, knowing very well that if the explosion that was bound to happen some how didn't kill the owner of the voice, his blood loss would. Even a transgenic couldn't lose as much blood as the filthy familiar had and survive. "You will…will pay, you…." Even through the blazing inferno and beneath his screaming, Max could here the rasp in his voice as his lungs began to fail him from the pressure of the smoke and whatever injuries he had suffered in the crash.
Alec grunted as they made it almost half way up the enormous hillside, pulling to a stop and turning to look back on the helicopter as it burned angrily beneath. "Alec we don't have time." Max beckoned him, exasperated.
"Test… t-tube… scum! We will win this…this…war!!" Agent White yelled until he felt his lungs begin to fill with what he could only assume was a mix of blood and smoke.
"Alec c'mon…" Max pulled at Alec's arm roughly, now was not the time to stand still and watch White go up in flames when they were both bleeding heavily, no matter how sickeningly enjoyable it would be to watch the bane of their existence get his ass handed back to him. Roasted.
Pulling out the glock from his holster Alec checked the rounds and without much thought took aim. Why listen to the arrogant bastard dying if he could get the job done quicker himself from a safe distance? Looking to his female companion and reading her expression he saw no argument. From their position he could just about make out the tail of the aircraft, guessing his mark through the trees that blocked his vision Alec fired the nine rounds that were left until a distinct boom ricocheted on the valley hillsides as the chopper blew up taking Agent Ames White's life with it, black smoke engulfing the sky as debris rained down.
"I think we're done here." Turning and putting the gun away, Alec threw his arm around Max's shoulders once more as they trudged up the hill determined to get back to Seattle. Being this close the charcoaled remains of Manticore was unsettling for both X5's and neither needed to see the reminder of a childhood they'd rather forget when they'd just defeated the enemy.
"I can't wait to get these bullets out of my ass." Max could tell he was trying to lighten the mood and offered a small smile as they made their way closer the top.
"I hear ya."
I'll probably end up adding another chap for the sake of it...but otherwise let me know what you think! x
