Guess who's back? :D

Okay so I know I promised I'd upload more frequently and didn't deliver, I do apologise, it's just that things and stuff happened and I got a massive case of the old writer's block as well which didn't help but I could sit here all day and make excuses for myself but that'd be a waste of both of our times. You guys have more important stuff to be doing and I could be... sitting around... having mild anxiety attacks about how I'm pretty sure I'm having a mid-life crisis at 20 , you know the usual!

But hey ho!

This chapter wasn't intended as a full chapter it was just meant to be a snippet of the beginning of the chapter but it came out longer than I expected so I just made it it's ow stand alone chapter since I found a good cut off point.

This also means that I do indeed have the next chapter planned out because that's a new thing I'm trying to combat the writer's block a bit so it should be up sooner rather than later. As for other stories, believe me I'm trying it's just taking time to get back into the groove but I will try and update at least once a week, which I know I've said before but this time I mean it.

Also to the guest reviewer who said I couldn't keep them waiting, I am so sorry for doing so.

So on with the show!

Disclaimer: I don't own Skins, damn.

Fun fact! I haven't seen Guardians of the Galaxy yet but I'm super excited to go see it.

Shit.

"Bow, get that kid out" I shout over all the commotion as we try to save everyone from the flames.

The top six floors were cut off from the rest of the building because of the fire starting on the 25th floor. We'd managed to clear four floors between the three of us but it was getting more difficult as the fire spread and made the building less stable.

"I got him" Cook shouted back to me, pulling a handkerchief from his pocket and holding in front of the kids face, "start checking across the hall" he coughed "we gotta' get out soon."

I nodded and ran through the open door into the hallway, kicking the front door of the opposite flat as I went, the door splintered and thick black smoke filled the hall. Shit, shit and shit again. I drop to the floor fast so as to inhale as little of the smoke as I can.

"Anyone in there?" I yell into the room.

With no response I head in anyway, crawling so I could see anyone unconscious on the floor. Living room seems clear, I through an open door into what looks like a bedroom. Floors clear and Just one bed in the room, I climb up to look, it's clear too thank god. I stay on my feet, using the walls to guide me to the next room, shit a kid's room. Seeing is getting more and more difficult making me stumble onto a bed, I'm sure I have a small heart attack as I trip followed closely by a wave of relief as I realise this bed is empty as well.

I leave the room as fast as I can without tripping again and do a quick sweep of the empty kitchen before breaking the window and climbing to the next floor. I quickly smash the next window and pause to let some of the smoke out before throwing myself in.

"Leap, it's spreading pretty bad" Effy shouted to me as she hovered next to a broken top floor window with an elderly man in her arms, "I doubt the structure is going to last much longer so be quick, Bow's in the one down the hall and those are the last two, I'll go help him after I drop this guy off."

I nod "okay but be careful both of you" I call to her before she smirks at me in that signature Effy way.

"Aren't we always?" she responds before heading to the ground, I shake my head. I swear those two think all of this is a game sometimes.

I pull myself into the living room with the smoke cleared a bit making it easier to see, It's clear, I make a quick sweep of the kitchen before heading to the bedrooms. Both are clear, I let out a sigh of relief.

The relief is short lived however when I hear what sounds liked Cook yell from the next flat. I jump into action, it takes a lot to make Cook cry out in pain so whatever it is can't be good. I don't even need to open the door to get to him since part of the roof has caved in. I jump over the pile of debris, landing a little too rough for my liking and making a piece of the outer wall crumble. Fuck.

"Cook" I call out "where are you?"

"We're here" I hear Effy call back to me from one of the bedrooms.

I barely manage to make them with all the smoke and dust in the air but I can see why Cook yelled. I can imagine having your legs trapped under god knows how much rubble would be uncomfortable.

"What happened?" I ask them while moving the rubble off of Cook.

"The ceiling was about to cave when we came to check the room" he told me while he tried to move his legs, "we were just gonna' stick our heads in and get out but that kid was here so…"

"So I grabbed the kid and Bow "I turned to look at Effy and the small girl in her arms before returning to moving debris, "pushed us out of the way off the rubble."

"Alright, good job Bow" I told Cook you laughed.

"Cheers Leap" he replied through gritted teeth as he moved his left leg from under the rubble, "glad you approve" he chuckled.

"Dumb ass" I mutter under my breath, knowing both Effy and Cook would still be able to hear me, "Hurricane get the girl out, we'll be down in a minute."

"Okay but make sure you are" she said as she made her way to the already blown out window, "I will not hesitate to come back up here and kick both of your asses" she added in typical Effy fashion before flying out of the flat.

I turn back to Cook having moved most of the rubble off of him "Can you get your right leg out?"

"I think so" he replied managing to knock the last of it off himself, "Might need some help to stand though."

"Thought so" I replied smiling and grabbing both of his hands, pulling him to his feet.

We made our way to the window a little slower than I would have liked what with Cook limping slightly. I can hear creaking from behind us as another wall begins to give way, let's hope we make it down in time.

"Ready Cook" I ask as I secure his arm around my shoulders, "you know how it works, make sure you don't touch the floor before me so you don't shatter your femurs."

I could hear him chuckle over the sounds of falling brick as we stepped onto the narrow window ledge, "I know Blondie, I know" he told me before I swept my arm under his legs taking all of his weight, "just don't drop me yeah?" he said a little more seriously.

"Never" I told him before bending my legs slightly and jumping off of the ledge.

Lot's of fluff last time.

Some of the action this time.

Next time, a bit more Gina perhaps, JJ's going to show his face, who knows there might even be plot!

But I guess you'll have to come back to find out :3

Reviews are welcome and believe or not are super motivating even when I am being the most unmotivated piece of shit.

Hope you enjoyed and hopefully I'll see you all next time (which is soon hopefully)
