Terminal Requiem
Chapter 19: Outfitted
'Ashley... Ashley... wake up...'
Ashley kept her eyes closed... she was afraid of the voice... though, something about it made her feel safe, which made her even more afraid of the voice.
She felt like a child getting coaxed by a stranger to get into their car, the stranger thristing for what wasn't it's and she differently wasn't giving it whatever it wanted.
'Okay... I open my eyes and if I see what I'm afraid I will see... I'll... I'll fight!' she thought.
She counted to three in her head; 'One... two... THREE!'.
Ashley jolted up, only to feel pain smash into her back and burn deep within, she opened her eyes and saw... the team?
Ashley let out a groan, and felt the cold metal table sooth her back, her eyes danced averywhere... she was in a white medical room and there was equipment everywhere, including a cabinet full of herbs.
Everyone currently, was staring at her in a very strange way. Rebecca was covering her face with her eyes and peaking through a gap between her fingers, Ada and Wesker were shaking there heads, and everybody else just had a raised eyebrow.
She counted everyone... "Wait, where is Jill and Claire... and Sherry!" she demanded.
Ada gave her a look of sympathy, something that was very rare. "Ashley... don't you remember?"
Ashley gave her a confused look from the table, but then she felt all the memories flooding back, Sherry's cannibilzed face staring at her popped into her head and she began to breath quickly, feeling tears come to her eyes.
Rebecca put her hands down and walked over and knelt down, soothing Ashley massaging her hand, "I'm sorry... but she sacrificed herself for our gain... and Jill and Claire, not to mention us could be more proud of her.
Ashley sniffed and tried to hold back tears, "How are they doing?" she asked.
Rebecca smiled lightly at her, "Jill is just fine, in fact she just woke up and the medic is re-dressing her wounds... her bones went right through the skin"she said, making a funny face which made Ashley smile."As for Claire... she is one of the luckiest people I've treated, pieces of her S.T.A.R.S. uniform that didn't fall off actually went into the cut and were stuck inside... which prevents the infection from spreading through out her body, not to mention the Hunter's claws missed her spinal cord by one millimeter".
Ashley felt relieved, though didn't get to enjoy it before Mr. Kill-Joy A.K.A. Mr. Anderson walked in, "Claire is set up... though she is still crying from the pain of removing the pieces of cloth that healed into the wounds... Jill is also ready and they are waiting downstairs."
Everybody nodded, but then Ashley spoke up, "Wait, downstairs... I thought we were in a plane".
Rebecca giggled a bit, remembering she was the only one who didn't know now, "The First Lady, A.K.A. your Mom asked your uncle for a special request... she ordered that the military make a plane for us!".
"This baby has two floors, the top is as normal as any military plane, but downstairs in the front is a HUGE window on the lower bottom of the front of the plane, with a briefing/war room and in the back, there is a two helicopters and some S-Boards and it's outfitted with weaponry, both for us and for the plane's protection and we have two extra gas tanks. That way they can stay in the air longer for us... so basically if anyone tried to attack us, we'll have a few surprises for them" said Barry, a large smile on his face, "Oh... and we think you'll like the name".
Ashley blinked, "What's the name?".
Ada shook her head and turned, taking her leave from the medical room, but she stopped at the door frame, "It's called... the 'Resident Evil'" she said, then left.
Everybody then followed Ada and left the room, except Rebecca who helped Ashley up.
"What happened to me?" asked Ashley.
"You were too close to the explosion when it set off the truck; metal shrapnal flew everywhere and five pieces of it torn into your back and right shoulder".
Ashley made a face of pain, "Ouch...".
Rebecca nodded as they went into the hallway and slowly walked to an elevator, Rebecca clicked the bottom while Ashley looked around the green hallway with six doors, three on each side with oen extra at the front.
As the two waited for the elevator, Rebecca decided to explain the plane's lay out; "The door at the front is for the cockpit, the doors on the left are the armory, supplies and mechnical stuff. The doors on the right are the power and access fuel room with a few extra gallons of gas to re-fill the two extra gas tanks, the medical bay and the rest area with -some- food". She said, as the elevator arriving.
"So... what now?" asked Ashley, finally a question that had been bugging her.
"Briefing, this is our second meeting becuase before Jill, Claire and you weren't here... we have a new lead thought you three are staying out the action".
"Then... whos going in?"
Rebecca let out a sigh, "Chris... Wesker... and Ada".
Ashley couldn't help but smiled, "This is gonna be a fun mission to hear about...".
