Lucy tried not to look too eager as she ascended the staircase. The staff seemed to be more interested in the latest gossip than their newest recruit. Lucy could try using her laser screwdriver on the doors, but she worried that it might trigger an alert. Plus it hurt like hell to take out. She'd had enough pain for the day, and she didn't want to draw attention. While it would come in handy if she needed to stun anyone, it was also an odd instrument that would draw unnecessary attention. The wristband fortunately worked on the keypad to the roof, and she let out a sigh of relief as she breathed in the air. No one else was on the roof.

Looking over the edge, she noticed the security around the place. Even if she climbed down quietly, she'd likely be spotted before she could get away. She bit her lip and tried to find an area where the security was a bit laxer. The sound of the door opening made her turn around sharply. Sure enough, Mr. Wesker sealed the door behind him. He held up his hands to gesture that he didn't have a weapon.

"I do apologize for leaving you with Dr. Fitz. I never thought that she would directly disobey my orders… well, I didn't believe it to be likely. I still had a camera in her lab, and upon reviewing the footage… I've decided not to hold your escape against you."

Lucy laughed and said, "How kind of you."

She debated jumping off the edge. It would hurt like hell, but she'd already died and come back once. Maybe she could do it again. As though sensing her intentions, he took a step forward, so she took a step back. He smirked as though amused. Before Lucy could react, he was suddenly in front of her and grabbed her hands to pull her away from the edge. His hand was big enough to hold both of her wrists, and he used the other to cover her mouth.

"Quiet, Lucy. You don't want anyone else to hear you. I will allow you to talk, but if you try to alert them, I will need to silence you. Do you understand?"

Lucy nodded, and he took his hand from her mouth and wrapped his arm securely around her, holding her in place. She could have tried to yank herself away, but with that superspeed of his she wouldn't have gotten far as he had already dragged her away from the edge of the building. And who knew what else he could do?

"What do you want from me?" Lucy asked in a low voice that was almost a growl. "As you can see from what I did to the doctor, I'm not really like anyone."

"No… you are not," Mr. Wesker agreed. "But neither am I. Follow my directions, and I will take you away from here. We can even find your friend."

"Why are you trying to help me now?" Lucy asked with suspicion. "Or is this all just a ploy to capture my accomplice, Mr. Wesker?"

Mr. Wesker laughed and replied, "You can call me Albert. It's only fair. And no, actually. I couldn't care less about your… accomplice, so long as he doesn't interfere with my goals. Although in fairness, none of our troops have been able to catch your friend. He seems to be equipped with some kind of taser."

Lucy shrugged awkwardly. Not even she fully knew what he was capable of. She hadn't researched Daleks much at Missy's manor because it just didn't seem prudent. They had been killed in the war, or so Missy had told her.

"So what do you want me to do? Calmly walk back to the office where I was about to be tortured? Walk with you to your office and hope no one recognizes me?"

Albert chuckled and relaxed his grip somewhat. He said, "I just need you to wait here for a few minutes. I will bring you a disguise that will get us through the front gate. After that, there won't be any problems. Agreed?"

Lucy sighed and said, "Agreed… unless I see a better opportunity."

Albert let go of her and said cockily, "You won't."

He walked out the door, and Lucy took a moment to catch her breath. She really hadn't expected the superspeed. Now she tried to slow down her heart rate. She would likely need to appear calm no matter what the 'disguise' was, and Mr. Glowy-eyes wasn't helping in that department.

"TIME CHILD!" Caan said as he flew in from above. "GRAB ONTO ME!"

Lucy hesitated for a moment and looked toward the door. She had only agreed unless there was something better. Although admittedly, she didn't think this was much better. And besides, Albert had left her in the hands of a sociopath just a little while ago. Not to mention trying to kill her.

"Okay then," Lucy agreed as Caan flew low enough for her to hang on.

As he lifted them into the air, Lucy heard gunshots, but Caan expertly avoided them before flying into the clouds. The wind whipped Lucy's hair from her face, and she laughed with pure joy as they left the facility behind them. Caan flew away from the facility for a while before slowly making a descent. They hit the ground with a soft thud.

Lucy took a moment to get her bearings and asked, "Okay, so where to next?"

"AWAY," Caan answered as he started to roll in the same direction he'd been flying in. "THAT MAN IS DANGEROUS. MUST PROTECT THE TIME CHILD."

"Yeah," Lucy said as she felt her forehead. "It'd be best if he'd just forget about this whole thing."

"HE WILL NOT. AND HE WILL NOT STOP LOOKING. HE IS VERY FAST. VERY CUNNING. HE WILL COME FOR US. WE NEED TO KEEP MOVING."

Lucy nodded and picked up her pace to match his. She hoped that he hadn't seen the direction they were moving in. That would be true cause for alarm. He could catch up in a matter of minutes. Lucy tried to hide a shiver as she followed Caan through the wilderness.

"Why aren't we flying then? Isn't that faster? Plus we could hide in the clouds."

"YOU ARE HEAVY," Caan replied, and Lucy glared at him. "ALSO I AM IN NEED OF REPAIRS. NOW IS NOT THE TIME. HE WILL BE TRACKING US SOON ENOUGH."

"Ah, so that's why we're walking in a slightly different direction. And why you suddenly changed direction when we got to the tree line. To throw him off?"

"YES."

Caan hurried along, and Lucy tried to match his pace. She was already tired. Dying had taken a lot out of her. However, the fear of being found gave her a second wind; now she just focused on keeping up as Caan approached something that only he could see. She hoped they would soon reach the portal to a different world, but even then it could just be something similar.

"HIDE. WE MUST HIDE."

Lucy quickly took cover in a bush as a helicopter soared overhead. It paused for a brief moment, causing Lucy's heart to nearly leap into her throat, but then it resumed its path.

"WAIT," Caan growled.

The chopper flew back over the area for a few moments before moving to a new area.

"PROCEED. QUICKLY."

Caan led the way, and Lucy dutifully followed him. After a few more minutes, Lucy saw a glimmer in the distance.

"GRAB ONTO ME NOW, TIME CHILD!" Caan yelled as though frightened, and once again Lucy grabbed onto him. As he lifted them into the air, he narrowly avoided Albert's grasp.

Albert lifted a gun and threatened, "You will land now, or I will shoot."

"YOU WILL NOT, ABOMINATION!" Caan shrieked and fired a blast at the gun.

Lucy watched in a mix of shock and jubilation as the gun turned to dust. Caan flew them into the breach between worlds, and they landed on the ground. It was daytime in this place. A meadow stretched before them, and Lucy could see houses in the distance.

"WE ARE SAFE HERE, CHILD." Caan said in a tired voice.

Lucy dragged him to a place hidden by bushes and trees. With a quick stretch, she laid down on the ground beside him and fell to sleep.
