Just A little
Angela strolled slowly down the abandoned streets of Racoon city, humming a song from the underworld soundtrack gently. She would have been singing it at the top of her lungs if she hadn't already known that zombies were attracted to sound.
Sound and smell, Umbrella may have designed me to take those things down but I don't want to face off with anymore then I have to. She thought as she rounded another corner…
…And came face to face with the rotting carcass of one of racoon's ex-residents.
She gasped, suddenly unable to catch her breath through the sickening stench of decaying flesh and taken completely off guard by the shambling creature that now made a lunge for her neck. The explosive boom of her Falcon tore through the silent air much the same way as its bullet tore through the undead creature's skull. Angela didn't even have enough time to attempt to catch her breath as another of the T-virus's victims lunged at her from behind and suddenly she was surrounded. She grabbed the second zombie by its decaying head and twisted, a sharp crack resonating through the air. As the undead horde stumbled closer her panicked breathing slowed and her entire body relaxed as she allowed Umbrella's programming to take effect. Her face became blank and her pupils dilated to the point that you could barely make out the brown irises. In one swift movement she brought her foot up in a sharp kick to a zombie's chin as she whipped her Falcon around and delivered a perfectly centered shot to another's forehead. Allowing herself to fall back on her 'conditioning' allowed Angela to let her thoughts wander to things she would never have had a chance to otherwise.
Angela was the youngest of three children. She was Two years younger than her sister Lisa and three years younger than the eldest brother Matt. Growing up Angela had developed a talent for hacking that would later bring the attention of a very powerful pharmaceutical company after she hacked into one of their subsidiaries and then sent them a list of all the holes in their programming. Instead of pressing charges or anything of the like they hired the hyperactive highschooler as a troubleshooter for their security programs. An awesome job for a high schooler, if her employers hadn't had her kidnapped as she was on her way to visit a friend in another state. Her hacking talents were a danger to Umbrella security, she had been told by a lab coat-clad scientist while strapped to a chair, it was only fortunate for them that she had hacked that particular section and not one more involved in their bio-research and because of that threat she had to 'disappear'. So she was kidnapped and brought to the Hive, where they originally planned to simply 'do away' with her but then decided that the young, healthy teen was a perfect candidate for their latest experiment.
But they had never expected her to survive. And especially hadn't expected her to develop super-human speed, heightened agility, and a super-charged immune system that allowed her to become immune to most severe diseases, the T-virus included. So instead of terminating this wonderful, uncontrollable Specimen they decided to keep her and try to understand why she had survived when no one else had. Angela became Project 666, Pt6 for short. She was the final in the sixth batch of experiments for the project 'heaven and hell' each batch containing eleven experiments each. That meant sixty-five people had died before her, facts she preferred not to think too much about.
Dr. Joseph Christ was made one of the head researchers of the project along with Dr. Jacolb Keller. Dr. Keller was a good man; He was much kinder than any of the other lab techs, actually treating the teenager like a human being and not just a 'Specimen'. He even had plans to help the youth escape Umbrella's clutches…
Then she got sick.
Even before Umbrella had gotten hold of her Angela had not been normal. An extra, unexpected twist in her DNA gave her amazing powers. Her and her sibling could talk telepathically. Also, her body created a special type of bio-energy, a kind never seen before. Growing up, she slowly learned how to manipulate this energy for many different purposes. But these genetic mutations reacted badly with Umbrella's tampering. She became deathly ill and probably would have died if Umbrella hadn't decided, with a lot of persuading by Dr. Keller, Angela's ability's were too unique to give up. With her T-virus immunity and fighting skills they could use her to take care of any unexpected accidents with the virus. To insure that Project 666 could be controlled, her memory was altered so that she believed herself to be the niece of Dr. Keller, and that she had never left the Hive in her life. Dr. Keller was forced to go along with Umbrella's façade or she would be terminated.
After her first 'relapse' Angela found herself suspended in a cylinder, surrounded by a light blue liquid and unable to move. She had absolutely no idea who she was or what was going on. Umbrella fed her the story that she was the daughter of Dr. Keller's sister, Amelia, who had died a long time ago shortly after giving birth to her artificially- conceived child. Angela had no reason to doubt them and readily conceded to their testing, believing she had been through this her entire life. The Umbrella scientists programmed her mind so that she didn't have to consciously decide how to fight. Once this programming took affect she lost all emotion, working entirely on instinct she would destroy anything and everything infected by the T-virus. They called this trance-like state her 'conditioning' She then went through training, which consisted of her being locked into a room three story's high that was about as big as four city blocks with various obstacles and a handful of zombies that she had to destroy.
Around four years after she had been kidnapped and her memory's erased, Angela began to have nightmares, Images of torture and of family and things that confused her. It didn't take Angela very long to piece everything together. For her to remember, at least partially, who she really was and what had been done to her. With the aid of Red Queen, the Hives AI system 'Uncle' Keller Angela was able to be caught in a little 'accident' involving the mansion's kitchen and a candle and escape the hive.
Dazed and confused she'd made her way out of Racoon, with nothing but her messenger bag and an address printed on a slip of paper. She was dressed only in a one-piece bathing suit, the one she wore while in the suspension pod, with her ever-present Falcon strapped to her thigh. It didn't take her long to realize this was the wrong way to dress for travel.
After a while she wandered into someone's backyard that, to her eternal gratitude, still used a line to dry their clothes. After what felt like an eternity she finally found the city and the street that Red had given her, and set out to find the house that would reunite her with her true family.
Matt and Lisa had put hundreds of dollars and man-hours into finding their missing sister. And though he would never admit it, Matt was starting to loose hope. So he wasn't expecting anything spectacular on that calm Saturday morning when a knock on the door drew him away from his coffee. He opened the door and standing there, bare footed in a shirt and pants that were at least three times her size with her brown hair dipping past her knees and smudges of dirt covering her face stood a dream, his little sister who had finally come home. He'd thrown his arms around her and very nearly suffocated her in a massive bear hug before ushering her inside and calling Lisa. She was home, confused and unsure of herself and her surroundings but home. She could feel it. Whenever Matt or Lisa were near her she could feel the safety of family, the love they held for her and she for them.
But now the final Zombie lay in a mangled heap at Angela's feet, a bullet hole in its forehead. She'd finished off the last of her attackers and now had no more use for her conditioning. Bringing herself back to the present she smiled to herself, the warmth of her siblings love lingering even after the horror of Racoon had made itself dominant. With a light sigh she double-checked her clips, nudged the fallen corpse's out of her way, and continued down the dead streets in search of her target.
