Today I woke up and
you were gone
The whole day wondering what I did wrong
It's like I'm falling from a mountaintop
My heart keeps pounding and it won't stop
Can you see this hell I'm living
I'm not giving up
Will you crawl to me
Will you fall with me
I'll never crawl to you
I've done it all for you
Well don't deny
The hand that feeds you needs you
Oh god I'd die to try to
Finally please you
There goes a piece of me
Will I cease to be
I've never lied to you
Fought bled and died for you
Well don't deny
The hand that takes you breaks you
Oh god I'd die to try to
Finally please you
There she goes and I'm on the ground, I'm on the ground, I'm on the…
Well don't deny
The hand that feeds you needs you
Oh god I'd die to try to
Finally please you
Will you crawl to me
Will you fall with me
I've never crawled to you
I've done it all for you
Default- "Deny"
Wagner scratched his beard as he concentrated on sketching out the base he had just escaped from. As soon as this was over he'd definitely have to shave. The beard wasn't really intentional, and plus it wasn't really working. Chun-Li hadn't recognized him, but that could be because though he didn't feel it, he had grown into a man over the past five years. Colonel Wolfman and Luwanda were serious about this operation. Thus the reason he was sketching the Shadowlaw base down to the color of the carpet. Luckily he wasn't just someone off the street. He had been trained to notice things. He was willing to do anything to help get Cammy back. He wasn't a child and he was never going to run from Bison again.
Guile approached from behind him, placing his hand on his shoulder and spoke.
"How are you doing?"
"Pretty good. There's a little blank spot in my memory, but it's coming out correct."
"Good, but I mean how are you doing?"
Wagner sighed.
"I've been better. I just can't help thinking that if I hadn't gone on ahead like they said, none of this would have happened."
"Who knows what could have happened? That's not the point. What happened is what matters. You can't dwell on the what ifs."
Wagner clenched his fists.
"If anything happens to Cammy…"
"Just calm down. I'm worried as hell to. But it won't help. Keeping together will."
"Do you trust these people, this Delta Red? It all seems like a lot of bull and bravado to me."
"They have a reputation yes, but they always get things done. Plus Chun-Li is smart. I trust her judgment."
"If I would have just been smart and thought about what a small siege like that could mean for us. I'm sorry I messed things up."
"You did what you felt you had to, and even succeeded to a point. Besides, even if you weren't in on it you think you could have stopped Cammy?"
"No, but I let her be fed to the dogs."
"She's not like she used to be Wagner. Trust her. She followed her heart."
There was a moment of silence and Wagner broke it, changing the subject.
"Did you see Ken's wife? She okay? I was so busy since we arrived back here I didn't check up on them."
"Yeah, she had the baby just fine. A little boy. Damn cute kid."
"Good, good. Cammy would be happy."
A voice rose from behind them.
"That's exactly why you have to let me help."
It was Ken. Wagner didn't understand the problem until Guile spoke.
"I already told you no. You're a civilian and a father now. You have to understand your importance in your son's life. You have a responsibility now."
"Cammy tried to save Eliza without a second thought to her own safety. She needs help now and I owe it to her. For my wife, for my son, I owe her. God knows I do."
Wagner jumped in.
"Let him help Guile."
Ken and Guile spoke simultaneously in surprise.
"What?!"
"He's right. He does owe Cammy."
Ken nodded.
"Ryu will stay here with Eliza and Mel. I trust him with my life and my family's life. He'll protect them if anything happens."
Guile spoke.
"Alright. We're leaving as soon as night falls. I don't want to give Shadowlaw time to take a breath."

Cammy traced the lines of hard cement in between the cinderblocks in the wall with her fingers. She could tell by the sudden darkness of the cell that the sun was low in the sky. Night had almost fallen and she was still here. She had freaked to say the least at Bison's words to her. He had said she had no choice. Bull shit. She wasn't going to be his pawn again, to kill for him again. They subdued her, poking a shot of something into her arm. It had made her drowsy, not knocked her out. Kind of like she was aware of what was going on, but couldn't do anything about it. Almost as if everything was a dream. Now she could move again, and her head felt straighter, but she wasn't sure if the drugs had worn off.
The door opened and Cammy saw the familiar silhouette of Vega move into the darkness of the cell. She stood shakily; ready to fight for her survival. She could see his smile even in the darkness. Stepping forward she felt her knees give and she fell forward. She let out a small sound of surprise as her body flopped securely into his arms. Her legs had given out just like that. It felt like they were made of gel. Vega laughed as he pulled her body to standing, supporting her more than she was supporting herself. He spoke.
"Careful my love, you are still weak from the drugs you were given."
"Let me go!"
Vega shrugged his shoulders.
"As you wish."
He let her go and Cammy felt her body begin to tremble as her legs folded
underneath her and she began to fall again.
Vega was there catching her once more.
Cammy cried out in frustration as Vega spoke.
"Face it Camilla, you need me right now."
"Only because I've been drugged."
"None the less…"
He pulled her in closer and picked her up, scooping one arm under her knees and the other supporting her back and began to take her out of the cell. She struggled against him knowing that wherever Vega was taking her she didn't want to go. It was useless; her strikes against his chest were like soft caresses. She was so weak. She screamed.
"Let me go. Leave me alone. You're a coward, you're a rapist. I can't defend myself!"
His gold hair fell across her face as he leaned over and pressed his lips against hers. Cammy moved her head back as far as she could, which wasn't far enough. He let the kiss linger as she again attempted to throttle him to no avail. Her broke away from the kiss and left his face close to hers as he spoke.
"Do not worry; I will not be with you now. There is no need. Soon enough, you will give yourself to me willingly."
"Never."
"Never say never my dear Camilla."
He continued forward and laid her down onto a table. She knew exactly what was going on. Using all her strength, she rolled from the table, slamming her body into the floor hard. Her wrist was hurt in the process of landing but she ignored the pain and tried to crawl for the door. Everyone in the room, which included Vega and a few doctors, stood and watched patiently as her movements grew slower and slower, and the sweat that lines her brow fell in droplets down her face. By the time she was at the doorway, she was panting and in a lot of pain. Vega simply stepped toward her and took her into his arms, laying her on the table once again. This time the other doctors strapped her down to prevent her from falling again. Vega ran his hand down the side of her face as he spoke softly to her. As if he really cared.
"We must wait for the drugs in your system now to wear off before we can truly have you back. It should not be long though, my love. Then you will be mine forever."
Cammy could feel tears welling up in her eyes. It wasn't fair; she should be able to at least fight, to die trying. But this, this was wrong. She hated herself for crying, for seemingly giving up, but what else could she do now. She spoke, softly at first but eventually raising to yell.
"I hate you, Vega. I hate you. Damn you to hell for this, for everything you ever did to me or my family. You may have my body and someone else's mind after all of this. But you will never, never have me!"
Vega was silent for a moment before he reared back and delivered a swift slap to Cammy's face, causing her head to turn sideways. She quickly turned back to him a spit the blood from her now busted lip into his face. He merely let the blood saliva mixture run down his cheek before he spoke, more to himself than anyone else.
"Soon Camilla, soon."
Cammy watched him with hate in her eyes as he turned and left the room, clicking the door silently behind him. All she could do now was wait for the end of herself.
