Darian and Alice finally made their way to the end of the hallway and to a massive staircase that lead downward. "At the stairs now, gonna start heading down," Darian announced to helena over the radio. The lynx faunus took a few steps down the stairs, the wood beneath his feet creaking and cracking loudly. "Alice, watch your foo-" he was interrupted as the steps beneath his feet gave way. The man reached out, quickly grabbing ahold of the railing which also gave way under his weight.

Before Darian could fall any farther Alice quickly spun around and snatched him by the wrist, holding him up with one arm. "Are you okay?" she asked easily hoisting the man back up next to her.

"Yeah I'm fine," he replied sheepishly as she gently set him back down next to her.

She smiled in response before pointing her light at the collapsed stair. "I think it'd be dangerous to try and walk down these," she surmized.

"Probably," he grumbled as he looked down the middle of the stair case. "Can I get some light here?" he asked, the bottom of the stairs not visible even to his eyes. Alice complied shining the light down the square hole, careful to not blind her husband in the process. "Well the bottom looks clear," Darian said as he scanned the bottom. "What do you think?"

Alice furrowed her brow for a moment as she thought about how to tackle the problem before them. After a few moments he expression changed into a smile. "It's like the initiation!" she declared before vaulting herself over the railing and plummeting down to the ground floor, her feet contacting with a loud thud. She quickly sweeped the area around her on instinct, looking for any enemies. "Clear!" Alice called out as she rested her light on a doorway, positioning herself agaist the wall at the bottom of the stairs.

Darian followed after his wife, landing on the stone floor with a similar thud to his wife. "Well we can look through the bottom floor here," darian said as he looked at the doorway, "Or we can head into the lower levels," he said pointing to a set of stone stairs that led down into the lower levels.

Alice thought for a moment, keeping her gun trained on the door. "Mom, what do you think we should do?" she asked, waiting for a response form Helena.
