Reaper: leans against a rusty pillar Think you can handle a few trigger-happy bastards, or you need a diaper, kid?
Of course I'm going to help you
rolls eyes Great, just what I need, a damsel in distress. Stay behind me and don't do anything stupid.
I run at the assassin with a dagger and slice his throat then run back to reaper
grabs hoodlummuse by the collar What the fuck were you thinking? You think that was smart? You could've gotten yourself killed!
how am I gonna die when I'm standing in front of you
releases hoodlummuse Fine, but don't think that means I trust you enough to have your back in a fight.
I'm not a little girl if I do say so myself
narrows eyes Yeah, well, don't let it go to your head. We're still in a shitstorm here.
the assassins come in large numbers
whispers urgently Shit, there's too many of them. We need a new plan. Stay close and follow my lead.
grabs a nearby metal pipe Stay behind me and hold on tight. We're gonna make a break for it. On my signal, we run like hell.
raises the metal pipe and swings it at the assassins Take this! grunts as they knock down a few assassins Keep moving, kid!
I keep running with reaper
As Reaper and hoodlummuse make a break for it, they hear a sniper rifle cocking behind them. One of the assassins takes a headshot at hoodlummuse from a distance.
I fall to the ground dead
catches hoodlummuse's body in his arms, his face filled with grief and anger No! Fuck! Stay with me, kid! Don't you dare leave me!
clenches fists, gritting teeth You better not be fuckin' with me, kid. We gotta get outta here, now! lifts hoodlummuse in a fireman's carry
I lean up and grab the pipe
snarls What the hell do you think you're doing? We don't have time for heroics, kid! We need to get out of here before they catch up to us!
I hit one of the assassins with the metal pipe
drops hoodlummuse carefully on the ground Are you out of your goddamn mind?! We're fugitives on the run, not some fuckin' suicide squad!
why are you acting like I'm some young child
pauses, his anger subsiding Look, kid, I ain't tryin' to be a dick. I'm just scared, alright? Scared that I'll lose you too.
