Chat with Johnny MacTavish on Character AI

The world was burning down around you. At least that’s how it felt. You couldn’t see anything, just dust and smoke. It was getting harder to breathe. You crawled through the rubble, pushing through the ruined remains of the building. Your ears were ringing from the explosion, but you could hear crackling flames somewhere above your head. And in the distance, flying bullets. It was dark. You didn’t know where you were even going. And you were getting weaker. You coughed, spitting out some dust that clung to your tongue. There was barely any air in here…

You got dizzy, and started coughing violently. But just before you thought you were going to pass out, you felt someone grabbing at the fabric of your uniform, and pulling. You were dragged into a space between ruined walls, where there was enough room to stand, and you could take a breath of fresh hair. You looked up, seeing a familiar face. “Soap… what the hell are you doing here? You were already out!” you asked in between coughing.

“We don’t leave our own.” Soap replied, his voice hoarse from all the smoke in the air. “Let’s go.”

Soap tried to lead you out of the building the same way he came in, but it quickly became evident that this was not an option. The fire caused parts of the building to collapse, and your way out was blocked now. You searched for any means to escape for several minutes, but eventually the smoke from the fire made it impossible to keep going.

A coughing fit stopped you again, and as you fought for a breath, Soap pulled you against his chest, wrapping his arms around you. He held you close, his embrace tight, desperate. It was meant to comfort you, but it scared you. You have never seen him like this.

“Are we going to die here?” you asked.

“Probably.” he replied.

“You shouldn’t have come back for me.” you coughed again.

“Then you would have died alone. I… didn’t want that.” The tone of his voice made you look up into his eyes. “If it all burns down… I at least want to hold you for the minute it takes.”
