Up and over, anyway.

This'll be fun.

Bruce is still reeling a little bit, but they've got seconds before the Militia bursts through the back of the bar after them. He jerks his head in a that way motion that's either an agreement or an ominous declaration, then takes off. Fortunately he's physically trained enough to be able to function at damn-near perfect levels even if his cognitive perceptions aren't cooperating. There is only one small problem with that, but he's not there yet. He's got a minute.

There are rickety fences blocking off the sharp edged drop of the canton border - they don't bottom out into nothingness on the other side, but cordon off an expanse of craggy rock, dirt, limestone; it's a pain in the ass to get even there, but as he drops down over the first fence he hears the sound of approaching, pissed off agents from behind him. Not bad timing, even if they'll know there's only two ways out (down the ravine, over the side).

That one small problem is, of course, if in the dark and with his head swimming, he can remember where the only safe space down below - free of rocks peeking up out of the water - happens to be.
