Ooh... professors. Those would definitely be a toughie. But professors were a piece of cake compared to mind games. "I'll leave that puzzle-solving stuff for you, then," Charlie told him. "I can't even do stupid word searches." She then crudely mumbled something about the injust method of diagonals and backwards words.

"Well let's hope we don't run into one of those." Hiro said. It was really hard to find braille crossword so he wasn't very practiced at them. "I guess it's now or never." Hiro said when it sounded like they were the only ones around.
(I figure we're at the fence by now.)

"Do or die," Charlie added defiantly, letting the words sink in. It felt like an action movie to her, and all of a sudden, she had more energy than ever. She squatted down and tried to tug at Hiro's sleeve. "Duck!" She whispered, though no one was there, or at least one she couldn't see. "We've gotta be slick about this. Listen for anything, alright? You hear somethin' suspicious, you make a bird sound to me. Vice versa, too."

"Yikes." Hiro said on impulse as he was tugged down. "What the..?" He figured out what was going on when Charlie continued.
"Right, begin operation infiltration." Hiro held his cane as if it were a rifle and started army crawling towards the shack.

Although he was well on his way to getting to the shack, she said sternly, "Go, go, go!!" She dropped down to crawl right beside him, and looked around at their surroundings, the shack looking like it was leaning towards them. So far, so good.

(Too bad we were just a little early on this, we could've been finding a dead body)
Hiro put a finger up to his ear as if listenning to a radio announcement.
"It sounds like team beta has hit a snag!" He informed Charlie. "They say there's some turrets on the upper levels."

(Darnit! You're right about that. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) ) Charlie had a look on her face, one that said that she almost expected it. Sighing, she said bravely, "All the better. Well, soldier, we're sure as heck not pulling out yet." She looked up as if to confirm it and nodded. They were going to keep on going.

This whole experience reminded Hiro of his days as lieutenant colonel McVeil back in the war between the allied tower powers and the dungeon dwellers.
"Better!?" It seemed his war buddy had lost her mind. "How can turret guns possibly mean something good for us!?"

"Yes, better," Charlie said assertively. She rested on her forearms a bit, the dirt grabbing dear life on her arms and fingernails. She hadn't had this much kind of fun for a while now. Sometimes even qudditch didn't beat the simpler things in life. "I like a li'l challenge." She nodded and directed her question to Hiro. "Ready?"

"This is suicide you know." Hiro replied though he held his 'gun' in a way that would allow quick movement through the field. At least he'd be going down with the best.
"Today is a good day to die." He called pretended to call over all the gunfire.

"You can say that again," Charlie said, breaking out her own 'gun' and acting a little more international spy than soldier. She had her action movies mixed up, so sue her.
The shack was a little more than a few yards away, and so it was be a hard, short battle. "Let's roll!" She exclaimed, literally rolling, but giving the turrets a birthday surprise they'd never forget.

"If I get a chance to." Hiro said inbetween her statements. In moments they were both running and firing towards the shack. Unfortunetly, with Hiro's can in the air, there was nothing guiding him along the ground causing slower movements and stumbling. This lasted till he stubbed his toe and fell to the ground.
"I'm hit!" He cried instantly to make it seem like he had planned it.

Charlie ducked down to avoid any of what Hiro was having. Merlin knew the enemies were rougher than she had intially estimated. Getting to the same level as him, she tried assessing the damage. "Hiro? Hiro! Where'd you get hit, dude?"

Just as Charlie reached him he rolled over so he was facing up. His face had a look of pain, though it wasn't the 'bullets' it was his stubbed toe.
"Uh, go on without me." Hiro said, acting the part. "Make sure Drew gets this, it's of dire importance...ugh."
Hiro pulled out a parchment from his pocket and handed it to her. Drew would know what to do with the braille message.

Charlie held it for a second, and put it in her pocket. But it didn't mean she would leave without him. "No way, dude! I ain't leaving you. We're so close, buddy, we're so close! Just make it for the next few yards, 'kay?" She got on her knees, and gathered all of her strength to pick him up from the ground. Sure, it was a bit dramatic for a stubbed toe, but she figured that she owed him that much since he did the same for her when she fell off the statue in the castle and really broke her arm.
