This made the fifth time her body collided with the wall. Her gun slid under a table making it impossible to reach from her angle. The Glava Smech snapped his beetle like jaws; mouth bright orange just like lava. Ada didn't see it sneak up behind her which was odd due to her position. Today was just the start of her shocking surprises. The monster stuck again in hopes of finishing his prey off but Ada was the first to flip herself clear of the snapping jaws and roundhousing it into the table to the right of her. More or less it wasn't moving anymore but she better than to assume it was dead. She took off sprinting through the crooked doorway of the rubble. Where was she? She was looking for Him. The BSAA agent that was declared dead six months ago according to Chris "Impossible to kill" Redfield to his team. Don't even dare ask how she found this out when she was still wanted for Carla's fucked up mess she created. When the tell of Piers Nivans destroying Haos with massive electrical bolts and surges; even remembering who Chris was reached Neo- Umbrella and soon her ears, Ada had to act fast.
She could have saved him and Chris both. A part of her wanted to but she was tired of being a guardian angel for a day. Turns out that only Chris made it back with a fantastic story to tell. Ada didn't know Piers. She didn't want to get to know him either. Nothing personal, just that she wasn't so outgoing. The Underwater Facility was a complete mess too. Walls pressed against each other like dominos that reached the end point. Debris, fowl smelling odors, and dead decayed bodies was all that remained of all of Carla's hard work. For someone that spent their entire waking life on destroying Simmons left valuable information out in the open. Ada had been searching the place for an entire week, looking for what remained of Piers. Only thing she stumbled upon was an arm trapped behind a torn off wall and stuck on a sharp piece of metal. It wasn't much but it told her that this must have been the room where the magic happened for them both. She took the mangled limb just in case it could be used for something. Now she wandering down the hall leading to the escape pod room; it was the last part of the place and all that remained. Everything else had sank beyond reachable. She grabbed the nearest thin piece of metal to wedge the door open, a foot pressed against the charred white door to help. It slowly, teasingly began to slide open allowing her time to slip inside while jumping back so it could close behind her. She smiled without meaning and turned around to gaze at what was left of the room. It was….
"Livable." She muttered to herself. All the rubble and collapsed pieces of foundation and walls had been piled on top of pods after more pods. Only one hole lacked an escape pod though. The control panel to launch it to freedom was fried to a crisp. Everything was fried. She continued to look around with a stricken gaze. Maybe he was dead and floating somewhere in the ocean or washed up on a beach giving people a scare. Maybe Neo-Umbrella had already beaten her to the punch or maybe-
The wind flew from her lungs as she was sent to the side of the room. Ada rolled over on to her stomach sputtering and groaning. Bloody brown boots dragged itself over into her view; she could also hear the crackling of electricity. Maybe he was the one that just bust her in the back of the damn head. Soon as he was close enough, Ada clipped him off his feet and snatched her remaining pistol out to aim and proceed to kill him with. Piers was too far gone to be saved. A monster. A killer. But she finally got to see his face..What was left to be seen. His right side was mutated and mutilated, thick slime and blood pouring out his exposed wounds. His ribs were also protruding out his side. His arm was pulsating, twitching, and electricity still crackling and surging. Closer observation was next on his face. His left side was normal minus the bluish and purplish veins running under his eyes and through his cheeks. His right eyelid was missing and covered with thick green and yellow puss like gook. His skin had split from being so thin as the mutation became worse, some parts of his neck open. Piers crashed to the ground after her attack only shrieking out in more pain. "K-Kill me…" Came his weak whisper before his left eye closed and the right one rolled back in his head. Ada stood there with her gun aimed and ready to grant his last wish. That was until she realized he spoke to her. J'avo's didn't talk to you. They uttered gibberish not last request and pleas.
"I may have better use for you yet…Nivans." Ada smirked and lifted him up.
He finally had died, thankfully. No more pain and suffering with the infection. Only one thing was confusing him though: Why was it so dark? He couldn't float around like a ghost and see his family and loved ones. It was as if he was trapped inside his own body! After seeming to be in a coma, Piers Nivans finally began to feel the cold wetness over his frame. Ripples traveled from neck all the way up to his temples. It tore at his brain and his temples, his chest burned from lack of oxygen. This could not be happening to him again! He threw his hands out forward, his wild thrashing doing nothing but sending his body into overdrive. Breathe Piers! Breathe and calm down! Finally his hands pressed against something solid and he pushed with all his might, teeth bared. Crack..Crack..ZAP! Piers felt the jolts rip through his body shocking him continuously. His eyes flew open suddenly, bright olive colored slits staring right through water and glass. Son of a Bitch! No wonder he wasn't dead, someone had rescued him from his imprisonment under the water. The shocking only increased until the glass finally shattered releasing him from that entrapment case.
Ada had the feeling he would be waking up soon. After all, it had been over several long weeks that he was in there healing. She was pleased at all the reports and samples she was able to savage from him and that arm of his. Ada had cut the thing off and wala, his arm grew back and his powers stayed with him. Conner said he had bonded with the virus making him a rare and special blood type. It was the way that he kept marveling over Piers that made her question this man and his motives. He did work for Neo-Umbrella and was Simmons's Nephew. Ada and him clashed heads over who would keep Piers and also, what would they do with him. Ada agreed to keep him until he healed and was on his feet before handing him over. Conner had thrown her a sideways glare and took his leave without another word. Even he could tell that the tone of possession that outlined Ada's tone told him that she was not giving Piers back. Ada walked into the room, grabbing a white lab coat off the hanger, and placing it over the naked shivering man. He growled more now while clawing his head with his fingers in pain. The surge was too strong to fight, he felt like exploding all of the energy out of him. Piers curled up into a moaning ball; Ada just standing in front of him watching. Poor thing..He was suffering more now than he was when she found him. Then she spoke.
"Relax, Piers. It's the only way the pain will cease." She watched his head snap up to stare at her with a stunned expression that shifted into anger and pain. So much for relaxing huh? Instead of attacking her like he looked like he was ready to do, Piers gripped the lab coat and wrapped it around himself then stood up. "Where am I? I thought you were dead! Why are you helping me?! Where is Chris?!" All those questions were blurted out in a rush. Ada chuckled and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Which one do I have to answer first? I take it that you saw Carla die too huh?" She said half amused. Piers scowled at her remark clenching his fists. This was not time for her little mind games and tricks. She spoke of this woman name Carla as if it was all so obvious. "Just answer the first one!" He snarled out. Ada pretended to be stunned by his aggression and smirked deviously. He yelled at her and hoped to get any answers? Oh no, that wasn't going to happen. She turned around on the heels of her boots then marched over to a metal table. She patted the cold metal and inclined her head. "I have to run a few more tests on your blood cells to make sure everything is running smoothly. Perhaps if you are a good boy, I'll reward you with some answers. Sound fair?"
Piers chewed his bottom lip watching the red shirt, leather pants and boot clad woman taunting him like some dog! He was a man for fuck sake, not her little toy! Two could play this game… The young man tightened his grip around his coat and said, "Fuck you." Ada tilted her head to the side and actually laughed. "Such a dirty mouth you have, Piers! I'm not sure if I should be scared that you may actually do just that…Considering you are naked." She said while turning her back to him. Piers turned red and spun around to keep his back to her. Stubborn bitch.. Piers thought in his mind with a near silent sigh. Maybe if he did what she said, he could get some clothing and a possible room to himself without her being near him. "…..What do I have to do?" He deadpanned. Ada glanced over her shoulder this time, showing very high satisfaction. "Just let me check your temperature and blood, and then you will be on your way." Piers turned around and forced his legs to walk over near her. Once he sat down like a stubborn child waiting to get a shot, Ada began to prepare just that: A shot. Piers transformed his face into another deep setting scowl. "More needles..You must be use to doing this.." He said. Ada paused her current task with a scoff. Stupid fool still thought that she was responsible for J'avos and every other outbreak that Carla caused! She gently tilted his head to the side so she could get a good view of his neck, part of her wanting to ring it like a rag. "Uhm, no. I have never done research and experiments on anyone. Most of my life I was the victim."
Piers snorted at her comment and asked, "So what are you doing with a place like this then? It's not exactly the Sunnydale hotel. You had me in cryostasis for however long it's been and now you're runni- OW!" He hissed feeling the sharp prick jab directly in his..Jugular?! Ada looked more triumphant this time around too. Probably because she was draining out glasses after cups after pitchers of fucking blood out his body. He gave another twitch of agony when the needle was finally removed and slid further away from her; well as far as he could while still being seated on the table. She held the needle up to the light examining the reddish black liquid in the vial. Another test would have to been done quickly but for now she could focus on her live subject for now. Ada walked over to the cluttered table and placed the vial inside a pouch marked with his initials. After placing it inside, she opened the desk drawer and tossed it inside. She should be more careful with her samples. "Now that is done, how about I show you to your room and get you something to eat." Ada suggested to the handsome enemy of hers. Piers smacked a hand to the side of his neck where another continuous trail of blood trickled down his neck. He took a breath and held it in. All in all she was no good so he would have to find what lies beneath those golden eyes that stared down and almost through his soul. And then she smiled that sick twisted smile she constantly gave him whenever their eyes met. What did she want with him? After killing all those innocent people along with his team members, why help him? Ada removed her gaze from Piers figuring he wasn't going to say anything else or even make a comment on what she said. "Well, it was fun taking care of you up until now, Nivans. But now your care is in the hands of Darnell Conner, not nearly as gentle as I was." She said smoothly as she started to make her way towards the door and take her leave. Her hearing must have been on top of things today because she could have sworn she heard him swallow terribly hard just before he fell into stride behind her. "Wait, you still haven't told me where I am or what's happening or even what day it is! So now you're just going to leave me like some lost dog?!" Piers snarled out losing his control much easier now. Ada punched in a code too quick for his eyes to catch and smiled. "See you later, Boyscout." And with that, the Vixen left out the room with no more than a quick glance over her shoulder. He felt as if his feet were frozen to the floor. She said she would show him to his room! Give him some damn clothes! Don't forget food! All Piers could do was stare at the door for a few seconds longer before he lunged and slammed into the white metal doors with all his strength and might. His fists pounded and his feet kicked sporadically in hopes she would come back so he could beat the answers out of her right here and now! But as the clock overhead ticked and tocked was when Piers noticed that Ada Wong was indeed gone. His curiosity was broken in two that she would leave him in this room to rot and probably freeze to death. Thanks very much! "Just get it together Piers…Keep calm and maybe you can snap the next person's neck that walks through those doors." He said outloud and waited. And Waited. And yes…Waited. Then someone tapped in a code on the other side of the door and it began to part. Piers had begun to lose when his moment of freedom came bursting into the light. He didn't even pause to see who it was but just reacted violently. The nurse was sent into the back wall screaming in terror at the sudden attack and the male sprinting down the hallway as fast as he could carry himself. The next doctor reached out to grasp his right wrist and pull him in whatever direction he was aiming for. But Piers snarled and turned around with inhuman speed, his body surging up enough electricity to blast the man clean through the wall. The doctors body went sailing like a ragdoll and went limp once he fell to the ground. Left leg shot out on its own to land right in the stomach of another nurse while his elbow met the jaw of a doctor. Each move was done entirely too fast for anyone to grasp. They reached and he zoomed out the way to send a blast of energy right through the white halls. He had no time to figure out what was happening to him right now but just run and get out alive! The BSAA agent spun around on his heels to run when her foot met the side of his face. Hard. The blow sent him spinning around in a circle followed by a stunned dance on his unsteady feet. His eyes locked on Ada and instantly he wanted to fry her into a crisp. But she was already on him delivering multiple kicks and punches to his face and mid-section.
"Enough!" Pier hollered out and released another massive surge throughout the halls. Ada was sent soaring back into the wall before her too, laid still right where she fell. Piers shook his head as the pain began to cloud his vision, staggering forward to where the Asian woman had fallen. Once he got close enough to her, the pain made his knees give out and also his strength to stay conscious. Just as she had collapsed, so did Piers, right next to her.
