Puck's running around the mansion looking for Santana, Kurt, Beiste, anyone from the glee club. He has to be sure they're safe. The first one that he finds is getting dragged out of the mansion whether they like it or not.

And then he's going back to find whoever else hasn't made it out yet.

Well, this is less fun than the past few days. Santana is standing in a corner, basically doing this.

Have fun with that.

[epiccombo]

Puck comes around the corner and spots Santana standing there crying. He doesn't move for a few seconds, because hell, what's he gonna do now? Finally, he goes over to her and bends down a little.

"Santana, we gotta get out of here," he says, sounding calmer than he feels.

[itsahotone]

"It's hot!" she says through her tears. Everything's catching on fire and she doesn't know where to go but it's getting warmer fast and she's scared.

[epiccombo]

"I know, kid, but it's gonna be okay, all right?" Damn, he sucks at this, especially when he's freaking out himself. "I'm gonna pick you up, and then we're getting out of here."

[itsahotone]

She just nods, then throws her tiny arms around his neck. Save her, dammit!

...But in more child-friendly terms.

[epiccombo]

Puck wraps his arms around her, and off he goes, heading for the exit while trying to avoid the flames. Because burning to death is not a good way to go.

"It's gonna be okay," he says again to reassure her, and himself.

[itsahotone]

"How do you know?" she practically shouts in his ear, clinging tightly.

[epiccombo]

Okay, maybe he's not so sure. But he's not gonna tell her that. "'Cause I'm totally badass, and no fire's gonna stop me," he says with a smile.

[itsahotone]

She actually smiles a little bit at that, pressing her face against his neck. It's a good thing the fire can't stop him, since her ridiculously strong hold might kill him soon.

[epiccombo]

That would be a pretty ironic death... being choked to death by a kid while escaping a burning building. Still smiling, he ruffles her hair a little, thinking she's not that bad like this. "Nice grip you got there, Santana, but you might want to let go just a little. I kinda need to breathe, you know."

[itsahotone]

Like the best smartass kid there ever was, she says, "You'll just breathe smoke!"

See how helpful she is?

[epiccombo]

"Well, then I'll just kick the bucket," he says, rolling his eyes. "Like hell that's going to happen. I'm going to get us out of here."

Yeah, Santana, you're so helpful.

[itsahotone]

"Go faster!"

She doesn't want to die, and now she's coughing, her eyes burning with tears and smoke and she doesn't sound so smartassy now. Just scared.

[epiccombo]

"You don't have to tell me twice!"

The smoke's starting to get to him now, so he picks up the pace, ignoring the fact that he's starting to cough, and damn it, his eyes are burning and watering and this is totally uncool.

"The door's gotta be here somewhere." Except the smoke's making it hard to see, but Puck's doing the best he can to find the way out. All he knows is, they've gone down a couple flights of stairs to the first floor, and that means they're getting closer to getting out.

[itsahotone]

Something crashes nearby and Santana screams.

Right near Puck's ear, of course. You're welcome again.
