Asra patched his shoulder as Vic viewed potential paths, she could see as far as a graveyard around 2.5 miles down the I-90 and all was clear till there. They just needed to get back to ground level. They listened at the door and couldn’t hear the usual groans and shuffling of ghouls. They decided to go loud and fast. Vic decided on Med-x to allow her to take more punishment without feeling pain and turbo to massively boost her adrenaline and speed. Asra decided to follow and went with Med-x also but chose psycho to increase how hard he could hit physically, in case anything got too close.
They looked at each other, nodded, took their chems and burst through the door. Vic with her shotgun in hip fire position took off ahead and jumped straight down the first flight of stairs. She hit the wall already moving to jump the next, dislodging tiles from the wall and leaving a dented hand rail behind. Asra jumped, following her, landing the same and dislodging parts of the wall, though recovering much slower. Vic was about to jump down the next flight as she saw the ghoul two sets down, she jumped regardless and turned as she went, boom, the first shot ripped of a forearm and the ghoul began to turn. She hit the wall took a step to the next set and shot again, the chest completely shredded and the ghoul began to descend; she jumped to clear the falling corpse.
Asra tried to keep pace but after three flights, she was gone, he heard shots further down and could tell she was at ground level, he continued down. As he headed to the first floor a feral ran in front of him about to head down the final two flights. He followed and put two in the back of its skull as it began descending. Suddenly, a violent hit to his back sent him down the stairs catching his arm on the hand rail he turned landing on his back, the pain dulled by the Med-x, he maintained focus. The feral maintains its footing and launched down the stairs on top of him. It landed square on top of him, one punch from beneath and the ferals pushed up. He squat his feet between them and pushes using all of the psychos might. The ghoul hit the roof as he lets of two shots into the ghouls face, he rolls out the way.
Asra sprints through the lobby past the parts of the beasts that caused issues on the way up, and a few others that had been blasted. Vic is already out as he slides through the gap, she pulls the chain tight and the doors close. He gives her a hand and they wrap it tight so it cannot be breached.
