Thankfully, the walk there was uneventful. She wasn’t even sure if this was the right place to be, but Haylen was sure that Danse had fled to Listening Post Bravo. Corey knew the location, hell she’d even been past it with Danse in tow. At the time, the Paladin had remarked on how well fortified it was, and how it’s defences could be reactivated in a pinch, prompting her to take a slightly more round-about route. Plus, she couldn’t be too sure if there was another Brotherhood operative sent to follow her to make sure she could finish the job, thus the Stealthboy.
As the bunker came into view, she flicked a glance up to where she knew the turrets were but they were gone. A Protectron was also face down in the dirt, not something she remembered from last time. “Hey… Danse…?” she tentatively called out, placing a hand on the security door and pushing it open. She cautiously stepped in and suddenly found herself staring down the barrel of a laser rifle.
“Stay back!” A voice, though not unfamiliar, growled at her.
“Hey… woah, it’s me. Corey.” She soothed raising her hands to show she was unarmed. Probably a moot point, because power armour was still able to deliver a powerful punch but she’d really only opted for the suit as a defensive precaution. She had no way of knowing Danse’s mental state. “I… Haylen said you’d be here. She’s… really worried about you.” Corey continued, shuffling in the door and closing it behind her, before cautiously disengaging her armour and stepping out of it.
Stare in the darkness
Are you scared? Are you free?
I can be fair or a monster
Tell me now, which one do you need?
I can feel teeth tear into me
Rip me to pieces, rock me to sleep
I can feel eyes staring at me
Getting uneasy, ready to feed
I can feel teeth
