The two stood in the middle of the brightly lit lobby, multiple papers scattered along the ground, computers covered in bloody prints, the occasional spark erupting from a broken screen, not a single moan or shuffling of steps heard. Aurora wrapped her hand around the hilt of her blade, the unsettling quiet forcing her on guard. Lex lodged a magazine into his Desert Eagle, sparkling eyes drifting to the ceiling.
Watching him scan the roof of the old building, Aurora smirked. "Don't tell me the zombies learned how to levitate…" She trailed off, uncomfortable with the echo of her voice, the whole affair making her unnaturally nervous.
"It's not zombies I'm worried about," Readying his Desert Eagle, his choice weapon for the evening, he led Aurora up a pair of stairs leading up to the inside balcony of the station. Looking from side to side, he explained himself. "Like I said, this isn't your average zombie movie. There are these creatures called lickers, skinless clawed creatures, longer tongue than even me."
"But I'm sure yours is put to far better use…" murmured Aurora sweetly, up on the platform of the stairs, blade calmly being pulled from its sheath.
Up to the combat ready femme, Lex gave his first actual smile for the evening, neither threatening nor psychotic. "I walked right into that one, can't deny that." Shaking his head, he raised his Desert Eagle, pulling the trigger and sending a heavy bullet into one of several zombies that had stumbled out a weak door to his right.
Aurora on the other hand, lashed her weapon out, beheading a decomposed being as it approached her from her left. Ignoring as its head rolled past, she continued a sickeningly easy assault, forcing away any remorse or mercy as she sliced the heads off of innocent civilians, men, women, and cops alike.
Both onto their last zombie, a burly fleshy cop, Aurora raised her katana vertically, eyes gazing into silver metal. Figuring she'd kill her last with style, she aimed her katana horizontally. Her eyes widened, muscles tensed for her move. Making a slash across its chest to keep it at bay, she flipped her katana in reverse, lunging backwards into the head of what would have been Lex's target. However, Lex, scouting her move before she had done it, spun backwards from his zombie, drilling his Desert Eagle into the skull of her target. With a feral grin, he fired, the back of the marked cop's head exploding into a mess of brains and tissue.
Lowering her bloody katana, Aurora started to clean it. She was slightly…bothered to say the least. She had noticed Lex's attack or to be more specific, how he had moved. It wasn't normal…inhuman even. A minute before he had killed his seventh target, then a second after, he had shot hers. Though that spin…it's used for a quick palm lunge or using an opponents weight against em…seems I'm not the only one with skills.
Smiling, she sheathed her blade. Starting to step over the undead, she gave up, narrow hall too cluttered with corpses. Wincing, she stepped onto the fleshy masses, Timbs breaking clammy hands, sinking into swollen chests. Lex did the same, not seeming to care that they had once been living people. Holstering his gun, positive Aya wasn't telling him something, he raised a brow. "What's so hilarious, Aya?"
Realizing she was still smiling, she wiped the look from her face. "Nothing…" Tapping a beat against her hip, she suddenly stopped. Her eyes held vague expression, glued to a bloody puddle on the floor. Her heart skipped a beat. She should keep some questions to herself but…her eyes drifted back to the apathetic Lex. She started to speak.
"Lex…forgive me but you say you know your way around the city some but you never lived here. Then…then you happen to know Umbrella's the source behind the outbreak and…" She sighed. "I would have brushed it off if you only gave me a physical description of a licker but Lex," She faced him fully, his eyes starting to glow amused, dangerous smile splitting his lips. She swallowed hard. "Lex…you gave me the name of the creature, something that Umbrella scientists would be the only ones to know."
Walking close to Aya, she backing up, he managed to back her up into a wall. He held a thoughtful expression, Desert Eagle stroking his jaw. "You're right, I did tell you the name…" He looked down to her, piercing through her soul with startling silver. "Didn't I?"
Aurora felt her body grow numb. Her fingers slipped from the hilt of the katana, almost as if she was paralyzed by some profound fear. Breathing hard, she forced concentration, ignoring his stare, the feeling of slowly being ripped apart and analyzed.
Speaking strong, hand back onto her hilt, she asked. "Lex, just what the hell is going on? How the fuck do you know so much? Trust and believe, I may not wanna attempt to survive alone but I would kill you before you screwed me over."
