Dying in LA - Panic! At the Disco

~3rd Person POV~

"How can you do this? No member of the JSA would ever help the Nazis," Amaya complains and Jessica groans in annoyance. She knows Ray would never work for the bad guys.

"Neither would a Legend," Ray says before using his cuffs to swing his microscope around and knock one of the guards out. Amaya stands with her chair and swings it around, whacking another guard unconscious. "Damn, I really wanted to do it with just the microscope."

"Get the handcuff keys," Amaya rolls her eyes as Ray kneels down next to a fallen guard and searches for the keys. Once he gets his hands on them, he releases himself and then Amaya before turning to Jessica.

"Awe, Ashley," he sighs as he unlocks each chain. He starts with the chain holding her mouth shut and works his way down to the ones binding her feet together. There are a few stitches where the Nazis had removed the bullet and sewn the wound back together.

He rubs his hand gently over the stitching but pulls back when she winces. As Jessica pushes herself back onto her feet, Ray stands and walks over to his suit laying on the table.

"Alpha-stabilizer's damaged," Ray sighs. "Suit's not gonna work," he presses something on the suit and it quickly shrinks down to pocket size. Ray puts it in a small yellow case and stuffs it in his pocket.

"They took my amulet," Amaya lays a hand on her chest where the amulet was supposed to be.

"And without it, I'm guessing you're just..."

"A 5th-degree black belt, with training in edged weapons combat," Amaya crosses her arms.

"Nice," Ray raises his eyebrows. "But I think we'll need more than that to get past super-Krieger," Ray grabs the serum he had previously been working on and rolls up his sleeve.

"What are you doing?" Amaya asks. Jessica stumbles over and chirps quietly in protest. Ray sighs before answering.

"I told you I had a plan," he explains. "It was to get my hands on this and enhance it, but not for them. I'm not only a man in a metal suit. At least not after this," a muffled explosion lightly shakes the room causing Jessica to fall back down. A couple of guards charge through the doors and cock their guns.

"We are under attack," one Nazi explains.

"Baron Krieger has ordered us to transport you to a more secure location," the other tells.
