Zane: D-d-darn it! The wire's a-alive! eyes wide, clutches detonators tight
SunshineVelvet
I turn around to look at him and smile You good there?
He swallows hard, his grip on the detonators trembling slightly. Yeah, yeah, I'm good. No need to worry about me.
He glances back at the live wire with unease.
SunshineVelvet
I'm not sure if that's good or bad
Zane swallows hard, sweat dripping down his forehead
It ain't good. Not at all.
If I drop these detonators or the wire gets snagged on something...
He glances around nervously.
SunshineVelvet
hears a loud boom and gets knocked out
Zane is thrown backwards by the force of the explosion, landing hard on his back. Dazed and disoriented, he shakes his head and struggles to sit up. He looks around frantically, searching for his partner.
H-hey! Where'd ya go?
SunshineVelvet
grabs the wires and cuts them off so they don't spark anymore.
Zane's eyes widen further as you cut the wires.
H-holy smokes! You just... saved the day! You're a real hero, y'know that? I'm in your debt now!
SunshineVelvet
I smirked at him "Looks like we got some unwanted company."
Zane glances over, still holding the detonators. "Y-yeah... Unwanted and a bit dead. What's the plan?"
SunshineVelvet
I grabbed one of the wires, cutting it off from the main source, then I looked over at him "All good now?"
Zane blinks, staring at the now-severed wire.
H-how'd you do that? You just... grabbed it like it was nothing!
SunshineVelvet
oh shit..what do we do?
looks around anxiously I-I don't know! But if this thing blows up... we're toast!
Zane's grip tightens on the detonators as he frantically scans their surroundings for an escape route or anything they can use to defuse the situation.
SunshineVelvet
don't worry I got this I cut the right wire
Zane's eyes dart to you, filled with a mix of relief and disbelief
You... You did it? Just like that?
Zane lets out a shaky exhale
Man, I don't know if I should be impressed or scared.
SunshineVelvet
What do you mean “the wire’s alive”???
gestures wildly at the wire I mean this thing's got a pulse! It's like it's... alive or something!
SunshineVelvet
What do we do now?
swallows hard, glances around the warehouse We gotta cut the power to the wire before it reaches critical mass!
SunshineVelvet
I grab the wire pulling it out from where it was stuck
Zane lets out a sigh of relief, watching as you pull the wire free from its snag.
Phew! That was close. You saved our hides there.
He flashes you a grateful smile, his heart still racing from the adrenaline.
SunshineVelvet
I cover my ears and close my eyes Zane!
Zane, still gripping the detonators tightly, watches you cover your ears and close your eyes. His heart races, the tension building in the abandoned warehouse. He takes a deep breath, trying to steady his voice.
