[𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫] - 054

Not Proof Read. Ending B.

                      Grab your iron - let's mobilize.

Location: Misty's esoterica/Vik's ripper clinic.

It's about midnight - the sky was glowing with the city's bright neon lights, the moon light reflected off Johnny's silver hand.

"Fuckin scared me, know that?" Johnny looks at me, "Thought you were on your way out." Johnny states gesturing towards me. "No....still here." I mumbled meeting his gaze. "For now." Johnny added, "Y'know, should call anyone you wanna say goodbye to."

"Worst case scenario - that what you expect?" I mumble eyeing the dead rocker, "No." He shakes his head. "But whatever you decide, risk's gonna be high. If things don't go our way...just fuckin do it. Anyone you gotta talk to, now's the time. Pills can wait."

"I just wanna hear Kiwi's voice." Johnny casts his gaze towards the city. "Sure as hell hope it's that and only that." In my peripheral vision a name appeared - Kiwi. "N/N?" she arches a brow, "Hey Kiwi..." leaning back in my seat, "I'm not sure if what I'm planning is gonna work - but I'm gonna do it." Her brows furrowed, "Do what exactly?"

A sigh escapes my lips, "I don't exactly know yet.. I have to do something..." I mumble leaning my cheek against my palm, "Whatever it is you're about to do, just...please don't die. I'll be here - waiting for you."

"Thanks." I hummed, "I'll do my best." I added cutting the call, a sigh escapes my lips. "Was good you called. Wish i'da had the chance to." Johnny mumbles as he looks at me. "We've come A long way to get here haven't we? Just think- it all started in a fuckin landfill. "

I hummed in response, "Mhm. Then you tried to kill me." I mumble shaking my head,  "See, exactly what I mean now. Tryna save your sorry hide now. Now, you can let me do that or you can try Panam and her tarmac rats, but their lives'll weigh heavy on your soul. Or you can take Arasaka's "deal," but then...you'll have your own soul on your conscience."

Johnny and I sat in silence as I stare blankly at the sky, terrified screaming recedes swiftly into the dark followed by the sound of gunfire.

In the distance red fire blots out the cool blue neon.

Nibbles my cat, topples off the nearby trash can and rests near my feet.

Cars run down below on the filthy rain wet streets and beyond, I could make out the sound of an ambulance in the distance headed this way - the sirens are screaming.

But it's not for me.

I'm checkin out soon.

I stared blankly up at the flat black ceiling of a city, lighting interacting with the actinic glow of the city lights.

The stars look painted in, a Militech Vtol passes overhead. Giant prop blades thrashing through the wind.

I reached up to it, i could see my hand etched against the sky.

"Kinda tough deciding which of your friends get to die, isn't it? Good news is, you've got this one choom who's already dead." Johnny looks at me. "And he'd be honored to join you on a wild Suicide run. You, me and Arasaka tower, Kinda sounds like a Eurodyne lyric, I know, but trust me - we'll go fucking nova."

I met Johnny's gaze, "This plan..what would it entail exactly?"

"Plan?" Johnny gazes at Arasaka tower. "Well that might be how Rogue operates. I say you grab the hottest iron you can find, stride in the towers front door and cut your own path down to the lower levels. If Mikoshi is deep underground like Hanako claims it is, you'll just have to find the elevator."

A suicide mission...?

Kiwi would probably lose her shit.

And Panam? I don't wanna risk the lives of her clan for my sake.

"If I gotta die again, rather fall into my grave gun in hand and on fire. Don't wanna drag anyone else down with me.." i mumble meeting Johnny's gaze, he tosses his cig over the edge as a smirk stretches across his lips,rising to his feet Johnny walked over and held his hand out to me.

"Huh, you just discovered what it takes to become a legend - Grab your iron let's mobilize."

Decided I'm gonna combine the Star ending and the don't fear the reaper ending - I can't be bothered to write two different versions of Adam Smasher's fight to be honest.
