The evening sun cast growing shadows over Academy City. As a rust colored moon hung over the jagged city scape. A night veiled sky glistened with stars. Along the alleyways and streets, the cooling breeze carried the sounds and smells of the city, and with it a growing sense of... something unnatural. Or natural depending on how or who looked at it. an unassuming figure walked out of the hospital.
Rvana left the hospital with a sense of satisfaction for two reasons. The first was the plastic bag rolled tightly in her right hand. And the other, the taste of a kiss lingering on her lips. Not bad...she said with a smile, eyes glistened, and her cheeks flushed. She casually walked along the sidewalk still wearing the borrowed nurses' uniform. "older than I am used to but..." she giggled.
She was heading back to the lab. And with each step, a little apprehension, -and by the look on her face. What was she going to tell her guests. Their objective had been attacked and was undergoing medical procedures in a certain hospital. And because of that, the mission had to be scrubbed.
The hair on the back of her neck rose as a chill ran down her spine. it wasn't because of Cornelius's response. but the cool evening air was playing with her senses. She sighed heavily as her shoulders dropped. Thought it over, tightened her grip on the bag, raised her chin a little, sniffed, picking up their scents as they gathered in the shadows and around the hospital.
She didn't care.
In the shadows of the buildings around the hospital, they waited. She expected them to be there. And why shouldn't they be. Their young queen was being treated inside. They'd paid her no mind. Because they had already dealt with the attackers. She shrugged, grinned. "ehhh..." slipped the bag into the pocket of the white coat, turned the corner and disappeared into the alley.
She emerged from the shadows, coming out of the alley and continued to follow the sidewalk. She walked along, silently through the crowd, looking up at the rust colored moon. Getting closer... slipping her tongue over her lower lip. The growing effects of the rust colored nearly full moon pulled back the curtains of people's inhibitions, revealing their wishes, desires and wants. Just ask, the rust colored nearly full moon seem to say. Just ask.
Rvana put her hand into the pocket of the white medical coat, gripped the plastic bag, felt the building heat inside. The reddish glow of the moon, reflected in her warn brown eyes, soften her porcelain face. She exhaled a fresh deep breath, her body shivered, outside she felt the cool evening air but, on the inside, she slowly burned. She thinned her eyes, her destination coming into view. Her smile inched both in relief and disappointment. She shook her head, "damn moon..." She whispered.
She walked to the entrance of a large plain building of steel and glass. The mirrored reflection of the skyline, the rust colored moon shone. The stenciling above the entrance in large golden letters glowed in the moonlight. Watanabe Industries.
"I'd love to go for a run right now..." she squeezed the bag in her pocket. the plastic bag with the clothing stained with Mikoto Misaka's blood. The palms of her hand began to sweat. Her skin began to itch, and her muscles twitched. She laughed, pushing the doors open to the second set of doors, and sighed. The regret of not given into her nature of going for a run. Finishing the thought with a deep groan and a look of disappointment. Jerk! She grumbled, letting her shoulders sagged.
She looked at the moons reflection in the glass put her hand on its image as if she could hold the moon in her hand, dropping and shaking her head. "oh well..." pushed the second glass door opened and stepped inside the lobby.
As lobbies go...it was nothing extraordinary. The marble floors shined underneath the dull lights. Small trash can type containers hummed about their cleaning duties. The reception desk was empty. As she made her way across the lobby, making the rounds...she whispered, towards the elevator doors.
She stopped in front of the highly polished doors and pressed the button. A pleasant ding sounded, the doors opened and a reflected image of herself greeted her. She cocked her head, looked with an admiring gaze, smiled and gave herself a little finger wave. "hello me..." Stepping inside. Reached underneath the white coat, pulled out a key card and swiped it through the reader. Pressed the down arrow. Going down...she said, thinking of a certain nurse, "I wish." she blushed, and the doors silently closed.
