Escape from Boston

Alexis smiled down at Noid, leaning down to give the mushroom child a kiss on his cap.  "I'll miss you.  We'd not be here without you.  None of us would."  She smiled down at him almost like a proud mother, and then manifested a necklace and put it around his neck.  "Here.  Something to remember me by.  Try to keep your limbs attached, sprout."  Strangely, Alexis found herself getting misty.  She stopped by everyone and gave them a similar hug, save for Quisellius.  Alex smiled with Torr blushed and gave her his bug-smashing rock.

Once Alexis had made her goodbyes to her satisfaction, she wiped her eyes and looked to Niao.  "I'm going to miss them.  Strange what bonds can be made in hard circumstances."  

"All right, let's get the fuck out of here.  Ms. Lu, would you be so kind as to do the honors?"  With that, Alexis took one last look at this den of horrors.  She decided she would not revisit it... save for perhaps with a therapist.  She had some things to unpack and no mistake.  

As the path opened before them, Alexis put the butt of her rifle against her shoulder.  They had been through a lot, and there was still a long road before they could stop.  Alexis squared her shoulders.  She was no stranger to overtime.

"Let's go save Boston."
