Walking through the tunnel having just avoided a fight with a group of Nosalis, Thankfully Zven had shown the group a small passageway avoiding a group of bandits
"So what are you really doing out here?" you asked walking behind Zven, looking over his shoulder he simply shrugged "Ehh got bored of sticking to exhibition so I decided to travel around the metro, maybe head to the market and buy food stuff you know the usual," He said leading the three over to the door leading into the market
"Well looks like we- Bourbon started only for a shrill screech from inside the tunnels cut him off midway through his sentence
"Oy pizdec... Y/N said as a group of Nosalis appeared in the far distance, Zven stood there as Bourbon maged his fist on the big blast door
"OPEN UP! DON'T LET YOUR TWO LEGGED BRETHREN GET EATEN OUT HERE!" he shouted, muffled voices could be heard from inside before a voice piped up from inside "ALRIGHT SIT YOUR ASSES DOWN AND STAY THERE, WE'LL GET THE RAILCAR IN MOTION!" one of the guards inside shouted
One of the Nosali's screeched charging forwards "Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do" Zven muttered as he unsheathed his Butchers knife "LEROOOOOOOOY JANKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS!" He shouted rushing forwards the Nosalis went to pounce on him only for Zven to bring down his blade onto its head using the momentum to fling himself upwards, looking back at Artyom you nodded before getting low to the ground and bolting forwards your knife tightly in your grip
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Screaming at the tops of your lungs you flung your arm out catching a nosalis off guard and plunging the blade straight into its throat slicing it open like a fish, Zven harshly vaulted over another mutant drop kicking one that was trying to catch you off guard
"TRT KEEPING YOUR HEAD! COME ON WE'VE TRAINED LIKE THIS BEFORE!" He shouted as he stomped the nosali's head into the tracks spraying brain matter and brain juice all over the rails
"HEY LOOK!" the men on the railway cart on the opposite side of the tunnel shouted, their spotlight brightly on the group, one had their rifle trained on Bourbon "BOURBON! THAT YOU?" The other shouted with a dark cackle in his tone
(I forgot the guard's names so Imma just use random Russian names I found on the web LMAO)
"Yaroslav! So good to see you!" Bourbon shouted back holding his hands up, Yaroslav simply cackled "Hey guys! It's bourbon!" he shouted causing the other men on the cart to start cheering sarcastically finding this meeting amusing
"I thought you forgot about our agreement? So you finally decide to show up aye? Meet me at our usual meeting spot or do you want me to, show you where it is hmmm?" Yaroslav said with a dark grin in his voice obscured by his Balaclava, "Of course, I remember!" Bourbon shouted, Yaroslav simply shook his head muttering under his breath as they left back inside the Market
Zven finished bashing the head in of the Nosali's with his fist and stood up, sheathing his cleaver, he held his hand out towards you as you were still kneeling on the floor pants and shoes covered in blood "Spasibo!" you said getting up with his help
Walking back over Bourbon had a sour expression on his face "Looks like we're in some deep shit... He said scrunching his face up in a disgruntled expression "Let me guess you made a deal with Yaroslav?" Zven asked crossing his arms
"Yep" Bourbon simply responded as the blast door slowly began to open "I almost did, once" Zven simply said standing behind the three
"Come into the light! Slowly! Slowly!" the first guard barked aiming his rifle at the shrouded group, Bourbon was the first to approach holding both hands up
"Bourbon? Aye look it's bourbon! And who're the boys with you?" he asked aiming his sights on Y/N and Artyom, who had their hands up as well
"Just two kids from Exhibition that I hired" Bourbon explained as he stood on the platform with the first guard, Artyom and you slowly approaching "Hey! You! Step into the light!" the second guard barked aiming his rifle at the last shrouded figure
The green laser reflected on my apron, looking down at it I simply scoffed "You have no manners now do ya!" I shouted walking forwards and standing in the center of the spotlight both arms tightly crossed against my chest "It's me you idiots" I held my hands up
"Oh shit! Zven what are you doing here!" the first shouted catching the attention of the others, I simply slapped a hand over my mask, "I'm just here buy! I'll be gone in a few," I said putting both arms around Artyom, and Y/N "These are my Choom's treat them like another version of me" I said escorting the two up the ramp, Bourbon was already speaking with Yaroslav, still keeping my arms drooped around the two
"How do they know you?" Y/N whispered, looking down at him I simply scoffed smirking behind my mask "same way every other station does, I help out, or help the stations that aren't red or Nazi" I said with a shrug...
____________________________________
The chill air of Moscow made you shiver, standing in what seemed to be a crumbling part of the old metro station "Hey look! A stalker" You said from behind your gas mask, crouching down next to the body "Crazy bastards, They're the only brave ones that dare crawl up to the surface, dig around for ammo, electronics, weapons, or supplies for the metro, some aren't as lucky as most, you'll find some around the surface stiff as a board" Bourbon explained as he looted the body, You had gone off to explore the upper area as Artyom listened closely to his companions rambling
Up on the crumbled second story, you were snipping a trip wire as you made your way around the still walkable floor, making it into a room and finding loot and another available gear that you could get your hands on
"HEEUP!" You jumped off the ledge landing on the floor with a slight huff, only to stand up fully "Tyoma come oooon!" Y/N whined catching the mutes attention, putting his journal away they both ran out of the doorway stopping right near the steps by Bourbon who grabbed them both by the backs of their sweaters "Not so fast you idiots!" he hissed pulling them both behind a pillar just as a Demon swooped low grabbing a Watchmen that had gone astray from its back tearing into it letting blood spray all over the snow
"Whoa... You breathed out in amazement staring after the burly beast from behind Artyom, looking back at you he watched your E/C eyes widen in awe watching the bat beast, he felt his face burn up slightly as he made slight eye contact, quickly turning away, you slightly chuckling at him, the Demon flew off in search of more prey
"Some people call them Demons! I call them bitches" Bourbon huffed as he ran toward a car jumping across the ravine onto another car and onto the other side "Come on! I'll catch you!" he shouted, taking a running start you jumped over the cars only to end up hitting the second car stomach first Artyom was ready to jump as well, Bourbon was about to grip your arm when the car tilted back causing you to slip and fall into the freezing water
"Suka! Well looks like you're gonna have to take the long way around! Remember, don't eat the yellow slow!" he cackled leaving the two behind, resurfacing from the ice-cold water you noticed your Gas mask was off "Oy Pizdec! My mask!" You gasped panicked you plunged back into the water despite Artyom grabbing at your bag and trying to pull you back
Surfacing back empty-handed as Artyom pulled you out of the water you began to panic as Artyom quickly started his search for a gas mask "Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck! WHAT AM I GONNA DO!? I HAVE NO MASK I'M GONNA DIE FROM- wait... Why aren't I choking? You muttered noticing you could breathe properly without your mask
"wait what?" Artyom signed coming back empty handed also noticing that you weren't on the floor gasping for air as the radiation was kicking your ass, looking at your hand clothes frozen due to the freezing temperatures "I'm... Fine?" You marveled taking a deep breath of the Moscow air only for your nose to clog up with mucus "Nevermind... You grunted and soon sneezed loudly... "Sorry"
