A/N: Just a little somethin' based on the escape scene from the ShinRa jail cell, when the group of heroes find themselves trapped by President Shinra. I believe this scene is right before they find President Shinra dead with Sephiroth's sword impaled through his back.

She stirred on her bed as a dry click sounded through the room, echoing off of the metal walls and floor. Opening heavy lids, she looked at the bland ceiling before rolling her head to the side to look at the wall that separated her from Cloud and Tifa's cell. She frowned as she heard scuffling, before muffled voices outside of her door, sounding both confused and panicked. Sitting up slowly, her eyes widened marginally when her door suddenly opened and Tifa came rushing in, coming to her bedside.
"Aeris, something weird's going on. We've got to get out of here while we can."
She simply nodded, standing up just as Cloud came into the room.
"Come on, let's follow Nanaki!"
She rushed out of the cell, biting back a gasp as she saw the dead guard on the ground, Barret next to him. She could see that the big dark-skinned male hadn't done it, but the question was, who did?
Leaving the thought unanswered in her head, she ran after Tifa and Cloud, escaping her prison within the ShinRa building not for the first time in her life.
