DORIAN SAVAGE (MONOLOGUE)

Doctor James Marcus - one of the five founders of Umbrella Incorporated - one of two who are still alive. Criminally insane and obsessed with his work, the man was a wizard with biology, virology and even modern technology.

Shame he stepped out of place and suffered a terrible accident of catching too many bullets to the torso. Wasn't just a simple case of paranoia, but it sure was complicated to why one of the most brilliant minds in the region suddenly went rogue. He got what he deserved, was what the younger people would say.

The wrong person was made that day. Spencer had good reason and motive to remove Marcus from power, but instead of using Marcus' questionable assistants to do the dirty work, they had their own idea. Marcus' trainee, Scott.

Scott is one of Wesker's bastard children, the only one associated with the company. Somehow, he showed the most promise this company had seen, almost considered a child prodigy like that Ashford bitch before she kicked the bucket. She was the first, with him a close second. Talk about favouritism.

I personally nominated myself to terminate Dr Marcus, as I wanted to demonstrate that rebellion is not tolerated, even members of the Umbrella Council. It was a standard vote out of three, and I lost. Because of Scott's pathetic assassination attempt, I have to trek through this dump to finish the job.

But nooooo, Wesker doesn't want to underestimate the geezer and asked me to work with human cattle. Just to make sure there aren't any mistakes. I can see the wisdom behind that but for fuck's sake how hard could it be? I guess if they made it this far, human help can't be that useless, could use them for baiting purposes or something. At least I still have two competent operatives on the field.

Dorian's monologue ended with the doors to the B1F tunnel opened. He wasted a few seconds to hear himself talk. The wrecks were all still smoky, but it was thicker than the surveillance cameras shown earlier. Harder on the throat too.

A carriage was pressed against the stone wall to the right with several scattered on the left. It glowed and glistened in the limited lights of the underground. He loosened up his fingers and kept his silenced MP5 close by.

That escaped B.O.W., Stinger, was found under one of the carriages, crushed under the massive weight. He leapt onto the carriage and took another look around. There was a whole lot of tunnel, not much else other than crashed luxury locomotive. Something green was sat by the door that leads to the Training Centre. It was Alexis.

Dorian ran to her and held her up by the shoulder. He slung the MP5 away. "Alexis, are you okay?" He noticed the bandaged wounds over her chest. "Fuck me..."

Alexis looked up with her tired eyes. Her long hair was a mess. "I'll live..."

"Who did this? Did they-"

"No." Alexis shook her head. "Not them. It was Stinger..."

Dorian looked back at the B.O.W. under the carriage. Pleased with its demise. "Looks like you got the last word."

"General? I'm sorry... I failed you… The mission, it' s-."

Dorian looked back at Alexis. "Don't say that. We can still make it work."

"I lost Blake and Martin before we even started. Just like the First Investigation Team, I sent them all to their deaths..."

"That's unfortunate but-"

"I have doubts about myself, and I feel like I'm less of a captain and a soldier. My best man doesn't even trust my word, and he's the last man under my wing. I don't deserve to be captain..."

"I made you captain because you were just a better soldier, based on physicality and emotions. You could be where I am in a few years, six tops."

"What went wrong?"

"I do believe I didn't train you hard enough in your weakest areas, but I just think you just can't handle the horrors of turmoil."

"No, I can. I graduated at the top of the class-"

Dorian slammed her against the wall, her hand clasped onto his wrist. He did it not to hurt her but to be sterner. "You are as good as any of the other members I've ever seen, but you're handicapped for whatever reason."

"Handicapped?"

"Maybe it's my fault because I didn't teach the monster inside you."

"You show me such praise, as a sister-"

Dorian lost his comforting smile. "I have no sibling; I'm a one-of-a-kind-"

"What of Ric-" Dorian brushed his hand past Alexis' shoulder and grabbed her by the throat. She gasped and tried to free herself, but his grip was like a vice. He raised her off her feet with a single motion of his strong arm.

"The U.S.S. operatives under my employment do exactly what I order them to. Why? Because I instil fear. I am a monster like you, but unlike you, I'm at peace with what I am, and I work to my strengths. All I desire is to live… What is your desire?" He loosened his grip on Alexis' throat.

She breathed loudly. "To be... like you..."

Dorian looked away and back again after a few seconds thought. "I'm sorry, but there can only be one."

"You said we don't belong with humanity; monsters need to stick together."

"I did."

"You're strong. Fearless. Confident. You don't take shit from anyone. Why else did I join the U.S.S. over a quieter life as Birkin's assistant?" She gurgled under the soft pressure around her jugular.

Dorian sighed and let Alexis down on her feet before she could cough and gasp, he pressed her against the wall again with the same hand and shoulder. "You joined to be like me?"

"I joined to be with you… but our superiors-"

"I'm not scared of my bosses because they don't force fear; in fact, all they do is keep me alive. That's my motivation. You just need to find yours."

Alexis' golden eyes studied all the grooves around Dorian's face, the nose, the eyes and the smooth hair. She had his undivided attention. "I want to have what you have..."

"You can't just mimic me because of-"

"I… want… the things you have… Money. Respect. Freedom… Things I don't have."

"Yeah, that'll do it alright."

"Then that's my motivation. To work hard and earn my place on the council, just like you did." Alexis looked away. "Oh, you must think of me as a fool."

Dorian held her chin and brought her eyes to his. "You are no fool. You are one of the strongest people in this pathetic world of ours."

"You're just saying that..."

"Even with those judging eyes, discriminating comments and fickle drones we work with, YOU, of all people still clock in and out without question. Without hesitation. I think you're well on the way to what you want most."

"I'm glad we grew up this close, Dorian." Alexis stepped closer to Dorian and kissed him on the lips, their eyes closed.

"To be like me, though, I might need to teach you a few things..."

Alexis felt a bit more confident with herself, but something was still missing, she looked back on Dorian. He was smiling now, that was comforting. "You do?"

"What kind of employer would I be? Fear works for humans because it's one of their primitive emotions, but you're different. You're a monster, and that requires a different approach.

"I am a one-of-a-kind then as well," she chuckled.

"I guess you're right. I'm used to ordering people around like cattle but monsters like you, even me? I never had the opportunity. So, knowing that, I think I might have to do something different."

"Shoot."

Dorian had both hands firmly placed on her shoulders and stood at the same height. Brought her close. "You just need some self-love girl, you thought of that at all?"

Alexis gulped. "Never thought about it… not at work at least."

"It's easy for me to do things you cannot. From your lack of freedom and appearances alone, I can see why. I can go and do anything outside as I please, and I can help you do the same."

"No." Alexis sighed and dropped her head low. "I'm a freak. I'm no one. People aren't ready for me, not even..." Jared… no...

Dorian raised her head by the chin; even his index finger had more strength than ten men... "We're all freaks in our sad stories, Alex, don't let humans get to you; they're nothing special. Honestly, what's the difference between our freakish lives to theirs?"

"We're biologically different?"

"We are, but who cares? Doesn't mean we should live as second-class citizens."

"No offence, but you're kinda losing me right now..."

"You need to live a little. Gamble. Drink. Have a joint or something. Even though we're just the creations of older assholes trying to reach Godhood, we all have needs. We're still teenagers, for crying out loud."

"Maybe I should take a page out of your book..."

"That's right! Let me feed you my wisdom. Maybe after all this, we can sneak out of work for a drink or something. Hang out at night so no one will see us."

"I'd like that… This pep-talk is really what I needed to make me feel less of a freak, whereas I am one, physically."

Dorian slid his hands down Alexis' curved, resting his hands on her backside. "You're perfect the way you are…" He rubbed her cheeks. "The both of us could do with a bit of service, don't you think?"

"What kind of service? We're on a mission-"

Dorian gently pushed her back against the wall behind her. "I am your leader, and your orders are to stand down and relax. Our mission is a real doozy and I want BOTH of us to be at our best. I will make you a better captain, I promise."

"I trust you, Dorian."

"The best worker is a happy worker." Dorian picked her up by her backside, still up against the wall. "You're not suggesting-"

"You'll be surprised how confident you'll feel later once you let loose." He slid his PDA from the inside of his armoured vest and used it for whatever reason. Blips and typing were heard, holding her with his free hand.

Such strength, Alexis thought.

Dorian put his PDA back into his vest. "Now that we have some privacy, maybe I could lift some of your stress."

"You're not-"

"Oh, I am." Dorian kissed Alexis just as she did, only he did it by total surprise. She didn't know he could be so alluring.

After Dorian slipped Alexis some tongue, her eyes widened from the escalation. Her eyes closed, her breaths were a bit heavier. She had to pull away, leaving him to nip her neck, like she was the prey. Her body felt flustered, arms weak. She put her arms around Dorian's head.

"Dorian… please, not here… If someone sees us-"

"That's the lesson here, babe. Not giving a flying fuck. Besides, you're the only thing that matters to me." Dorian bit Alexis' neck a bit harder, she whimpered. "I know you want it as bad as me..."

Alexis breathed. "I'm a virgin… I can't-"

"All those days controlling your urges, Alexis, made you weak," Dorian whispered to her right ear, "I promise you that this will make you a better person, and who else should your first time be with other than me? A monster-"

Alexis turned her head back to Dorian. "We're both monsters, and that's why we need to stick together."

Dorian snickered. "That's my girl." He pulled his head away from her shoulder." You've grown up so much… You know what happens next, right?"

Alexis trailed her leathery tongue up Dorian's neck and kissed his lips, her left hand brushing his hair. "I've wanted you for a long time, Dorian, but… the timing just wasn't right for me to…" She hesitated.

"To pop your cherry?"

"That's really not safe for work. So lewd..."

Dorian smiled. "Hey, who's being lewd? You're the one getting wet right now."

"Am I?" Alexis leant back and stared at her crotch, Dorian wasn't lying. "I guess I am feeling a bit tingly down there." She smiled.

"Are you now?" Dorian stuffed his right hand down Alexis' panties and rubbed his fingers between her lips; they were hot and moist. She huffed and he felt her body shudder slightly. "How's that?"

"Damn it," Alexis breathed, "you know how to press my buttons..."

"You mean like this?" The heat and moistness guided Dorian's fingertips to Alexis' clit. With a good rub, she wrapped her arms around his, falling into submission.

"Yes, right there..." She breathed and started to kiss Dorian.

"Alex..."

"Dorian..."

Dorian rubbed her raw for a couple of minutes. After that, his fingers down low breached though her lips and found the slimy walls inside, Alexis grunted and mewed like a little bunny rabbit in heat. Her head rocked back, feeling two fingers press on inside her, right up the knuckle. She ceased kissing to draw more breath. Her sticky tongue was radiating the steamy breaths.

"Ah… oh… You're…" Alexis couldn't finish her words and carried on kissing Dorian.

"You want me," Dorian said in between kisses and breathing, "don't you?"

"Mmmmm, hmmm…" she breathed," Yeah, yeah..."

"Say it..."

Dorian pulled his head back and nipped Alexis' neck, twisting his fingers ever so harshly to the right. It was like starting a car, only without a gentle hum of an engine, he had this reptilian beauty shuddering to his mercy. Her legs started shaking.

"I want you inside me, baby." Alexis leant into Dorian and brought his head to hers. To kiss him. To feel his tongue dance with hers. "I want you to be my first..." she breathed.

"Yes, my sweet Alex."
