Zaren trudged along, pewter keeping him moving, but he knew he was dying. A stab wound in the side, especially one so deep, could prove fatal. He didn't want to inflame the wound but he needed medical attention.
He Pushed off of a coin and threw himself upward. As he soared through the air, he searched the battlefield with tin enhanced eyes for a medic. No, not a medic. Just someone. Anyone. He needed help.
The land was a scar, thousands of dead spread across the city. Sentinels, Ghostbloods, they all were dead.
His steel ran out.
He drank down his last vial and kept himself aloft. Eventually, he descended and landed on the ground.
Make your way to safety.
Zaren limped on, slowly dying, as he approached the Alleycity Sentinel headquarters. He fell, preserving what little pewter he had left, crawling to the building. He made it to the front doors when his pewter ran out.
For a moment, it seemed as though he would lose consciousness, but he flared tin, bringing him to lucidity with a burst of shocking pain.
Clutching his side, and overly alert, he shot the hinges of the door out with his Devastator. The doors were built like an airlock. The second one was much harder to get through. He slapped his hand on the scanner, and the door clicked open.
Zaren crawled through, just as his metals burned away, bringing him to unconsciousness.
