❝︎ you drew stars around my scars ❞︎

Steve peaks his head out from the corner, he observes the room before quickly moving.

    "Okay, clear." He motions towards himself and the group follows him. "Clear, come on, let's go."

    "Okay, that was close." Robin exhales.

    "Too close," Dustin adds, and Jack nods in agreement.

    "Relax," says Steve. Jack catches up with his boyfriend, who was walking in front of the group. "All right? Relax. Nobody saw..."

    Steve trails off when they reach the end of the hallway. A room filled with Russians and too many guards with guns comes into view.

    "Shit." Steve hisses and the group ducks down to hide behind a red metal box of some sort.

    "Red Dawn," Dustin exclaims.

    "I saw it." comes Erica. "First floor, northwest."

    "Saw what?" Jack asks.

    "The comms room."

    "You saw the comms room?" Steve inquires, and Erica nods.

    "Correct."

    Jack raises an eyebrow. "And you're sure?"

    "Positive." She emphasizes. "The door was open for a second, and I saw a bunch of lights and machines and shit in there."

    "That could be a hundred different things," Dustin says, worried.

    Robin turns to face Steve and Jack. "I'll take those odds."

    Steve sighs and shakes his head, and Jack mutters "We're dying tonight" under his breath.

    The group looks out toward the door Erica had been talking about. Steve faces the others behind him.

    "All right." He whispers. "We're gonna move fast, we're gonna stay low. Okay?"

    One by one, they quickly hustle out from behind the box and slide along the walls. They spend a few seconds leaning against a barrel but are on their feet soon after.

    A door panel beeps, and a doctor walks out of the room looking at a clipboard. They hurry to the door before it closes. Steve catches it with his hand and leads the rest of the group into the room.

    In one of the chairs, a worried guard rips his headphones off and stands in shock when he sees five kids standing by the door.

    He reaches for his gun, Robin puts her hand out, she begins to say the code in Russian.
The guard gives a confused look and yells something in Russian.

    She motions to herself and speaks in Russian. He has a puzzled expression on his face and speaks more words Jack doesn't understand.

    After one more failed attempt, the man reaches for his gun, and it all happens so so fast.

    Suddenly Steve is screaming at the top of his lungs and charging towards the guard. The man tosses him across the room, and Jack just watches in shock. He watches as his boyfriend is being almost murdered by some Russian guard. He screams Steve's name, but there is no use, he's in it now. Right when the man pulls on the tag of Steve's shirt, Steve elbows the man in the stomach and reaches for a phone, which he hits the man across the face with. The man slams against a desk and falls to the floor.
