Steve and Alex were turning the last corner to the gym when the kid decided to speak "Hmm? Dr. McCoy? He's... well. He's real nice and friendly. Very understanding. Highly intelligent. Like super-smart. And he's also very charismatic. Great qualities in a leader. Now with that in mind. He's also big, blue, furry, and downright terrifying in a fight. We call him Beast for a reason, ya know" Steve finished with a wink... until an alarm started going off, which if memory served him correctly, meant that "Someone's trying to get in with the wrong passcode... dammit. Jeez, I feel like a taxi today. Listen, Alex, the gym is right there..." Steve pointed to the door "I last saw Beast in there. Remember, he's big, blue, and furry. Not that hard to miss. Talk to him, let him know I let you in. If he's not there, then just wait. I'll be back after I take care of this new issue". And with that, Steve backed up from Alex, held his hand up the ceiling, and arced into it. 

Steve chose a turret that had been destroyed in the attack a week ago for his exit point, not wanting to reactivate the still wonky ones and have to go through that again. Carefully and quietly he made his way towards the bunker entrance, but was unable to see who was at the keypad... wait keypad? 'Oh, sonuvabitch! When did they install that?! I could've used my code to open the damn door. Ugh, whatever' he thought to himself, frustrated at this new evidence that he clearly wasn't fully recovered from his coma yet. But disregarding that for now, he lay on the ground and crawled to the entrance. 'Okay, ready... one... two... three!!' and he jumped out, ready to blast whoever was there to kingdom come. Except he recognized the figure standing there "Heidi?! HEIDI!!!!" He shouted, glomping his friend from behind... and probably freaking her the hell out...
