"I'm with you," Ash confirmed, squinting through the ventilation duct. It looked like it opened into the hallway near the door to the teacher's lot, but from here she couldn't be sure if the coast was clear or not. Staying put wasn't an option, and with any luck all the agents were still busy figuring out what had happened in the cafeteria. She raised her fist then paused for a second, giving Celine a slightly guilty look. She seemed like the jumpy type, but there was no other option from this side.

"This is going to be loud," Ash warned the others before punching through the vent cover, knocking it to the floor with one well-placed hit. She stuck her head through to confirm the coast was clear then jumped down, reaching up to help the others. At least super strength was handy for this kind of stuff, even if it was probably her powers that had alerted the BSI in the first place. They were so close to making it out of here, but she felt guilty about leaving the Alex behind. Stupid or not, his distraction meant all the agents were now focused in one place.
