[ Fifty-seven floors up, and they’re going to jump out of a window.
Equipped with their borrowed tech, it shouldn’t be too much of an issue, provided it works as intended and they do not plummet to their deaths. They’ve little other recourse, though, as bullets that are not Prompto’s wiz down the hall, coming close enough to bite into the sleeve of X’rhun’s dark clothing, scoring the skin beneath.
Out the window it is.
He doesn’t dare slow his pace as they approach the ruined glass, the pane just wide enough for the two of them to fit. X’rhun leaps, throwing his arms up to protect his face. As he does so, his powers flare to life again, a simple square of bright red light flashes into being just in front of him, a small shield that moves with them to smash through whatever may be left of the window and guards them both from flying shards of glass.
There is a harrowing moment where they’re in freefall, but that block of light moves with the situation, answering X’rhun’s unspoken prayer for them to live to see the end of this day. It solidifies beneath his boots, stopping his drop after only a half dozen feet. Bracing one hand against the side of the building to allow his glove to activate, he snaps his free hand out to snatch Prompto as he passes. ]
