Meet and greet

As they arrived at Wesker's main facility, he could see she was exhausted. Having to carry her from the plane into the facility made him wrench, placing her in his quarters on the bed. I can't believe I had to carry her in here.. Where in the hell are my staff?!? The anger boiled in him again as he slammed his door shut behind him, turning around to quickly lock it before heading to the lab. He growled in irritation, his one upper lip twitching at the thought of ripping one of his staff employees in half for not doing their job. What was their job? To be there when he needed them. He wasn't wasting his hard earned money for nothing, assuming that he would have actually worked for the money would be utter nonsense, though.

Wesker paused before kicking down the door to the lab, his eyes a red blaze, "GODRIC!!" he screamed as he entered the room, the particles of dust from kicking down the door parting as he walked. You wouldn't believe that such a man could kick in a 6 inch width steel door! Wesker wouldn't have believed it either but after administering himself with the Progenitor Virus Birkin gave him and later the self administered T-Virus during the Mansion Incident, just prior to his incursion with the Tyrant killing him, had done wonders. After the T-Virus revived him of course. He thoroughly enjoyed currently being listed as "dead" as it made his work much easier and made many at the facility shudder at the extreme capabilities of Albert Wesker as he even cheated death with his mind intact. He made sure they all knew that He hadn't even exhausted his abilities yet, and not for a lack of trying.

"GODRIC!!" he screamed again, walking over to the security cameras watching the lab specimen containment cells in another room adjacent to this one. He sighed and shook his head, watching as three hunters escaped from their cells, only to have eaten just one of the scientists. There in the midst of it all Godric Reiner was still standing, coaxing the Hunters back into their cages. What a bloody idiot!! What the hell does he think he's doing? Does he think he's the Do Little of all creatures?? I'm going to have to save him.. I still need him for the experiments conducted here…

Godric yelled to the Hunters, "Hey!! Come on!! Over here!! How about coming back to your cages for a little Godric snacky?!" he waved his hand in the air, jumping up and down to try and get their attention… instantly regretting it. One Hunter turned, growling low in the direction of Godric. It's body tensed, getting ready to spring in the air. Godric closed his eyes and prepared for the worst, he sucked in a breath waiting for his own slow death.

Shots were fired, a hissing noise followed. Wesker stood there with his Lightning Hawk Magnum, picking the Hunters off like they were big flashing neon signs without even looking. He walked towards Godric, still shooting at the Hunters as they approached him from behind. As he reached Godric, the last Hunter sprung at him, turning around just in time to fire, sending the Hunter's corpse into the hall. He turned around again to face Godric who was cowardly kneeling with his arms in front of his face, holstering his gun.

Wesker picked him up by the collar of his lab uniform, shaking him violently, "You idiot! Why didn't you make sure the locks were secure..?"

Godric tried to speak but the shaking distorted his voice, "I did.. The.. new… guy.. unlocked.. it.. again.. Please.. I'm.. getting.. Sick.." He held his mouth closed as his stomach started to summersault. This is worse then being eaten by Hunters! He's bitchy today, as usual..

Wesker sneered, rolling his eyes underneath his shades, dropping Godric suddenly, "You fool, everyone was here helping you, then..?" He crossed his arms, staring at Godric.

Gasping, Godric couldn't look at him. He could feel Wesker's gaze bore a hole in his head, "Yes.. I'm sorry sir. It won't happen again, the guards were trying to get them off of me but got attacked as well and had to go to the medical bay." He dusted himself off, "Why..? What's going on..?"

Shaking his head, Wesker turned on his heel, walking out while gesturing his hand to Godric to follow behind him.

Godric sighed, walking faster to catch up with Wesker's speed. He always walks so fast…

Lina woke up in an unfamiliar place, attempting to quell the sudden pain in her head. Great, now I have a headache as well on top of not knowing where the hell I am! She groaned angrily, sitting up while surveying the room through foggy eyes. This looks like some sort of military base… oh wait… I know where I am.. Wesker's magnificent facility. She rolled her eyes with an unemotional sarcasm to it. Pushing off the bed she got up, walking over to the door, jiggling the metal door handle. Shit! I'm locked in! Now what do I do…? Banging frantically and yelling out wasn't working very well, she sighed. Giving up was far more easier to do then trying to kick down a metal door, which.. at 5'5 weighing 120 pounds, wouldn't happen. She walked over to the wall nearest to the door, slinking down to the floor putting her head in her hands. Why the hell did this happen to me…?

Just then the door clicked and opened, a familiar face walked through, an emotionless and cold face. He turned towards her on the floor, "Ms. Holtz, nice to see you awake.." the sarcasm dripped from his mouth.

"Yeah… well, it doesn't feel to great to be awake…" she sighed, picking herself up from the floor. He was now standing directly in front of her, giving her a scowled look.

"I can correct that for you if you'd like, Ms. Holtz.." he smirked sardonically.

Lina rolled her eyes again, frowning, "You know, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.." She bravely walked closer to him, her body inches away from his. She looked into his dark shades, her body quivering with fear but her face portraying an emotion of intense rage.

He towered over her, sneering, "Don't Test me, I will do it…" How can such a deplorable being put on such a front..? I can feel her body shaking without even touching her, not that I would want to touch such an appalling creature. The mere sound of her muscles convulsing disgusts me. He winced, his eyes blinking underneath his shades slowly.

She stood there, for a moment her arms outstretched in an offer of challenge, "Come on then…"

Wesker had, had enough of this little game, he would play it no more. Grabbing her by the throat, he lifted her into the air with one hand smirking, "Is this what you wanted?!" he said angrily, his red eyes showing through his shades, "Is this it…?!"

Struggling to break free, Lina grabbed onto his hand for stability, trying to keep herself from dying, "I…I…" she choked out, his grip tight around her small slender neck.

Godric walked in, putting a hand on Wesker's shoulder, "Please Wesker!! Put her down!! For god sakes!!" he yelled, concerned.

He released her, sending her crashing to the floor, "Fine… YOU deal with this impudence, then.." he walked out of the room, "Get her to work!!" he yelled as he slammed the door shut slightly warping the hinges.

Godric smiled lightly, bending down to help her up, offering her a hand, "I'm so sorry… are you alright..?"

Lina accepted it gladly, getting up with him while rubbing her neck lightly with her free hand, gasping for air while speaking, "Is… he always… this much of … an asshole…?" she walked over to the bed, sitting down abruptly.

He laughed nervously, walking over to the spot beside her, sitting down as well he whispered, "Ah… yeah, he's also a bit testy because of the board and all but… he still never should have done that to you.. He always does things uncalled for… he's very much an…" he tried to look for the word, thinking carefully.

She blurted out, "Inconsiderate, putrid, ugly human being..?" she continuously rubbed her neck lightly, "Fucking asshole…" She hissed.

Scratching behind his head, he smiled, "Uhh.. I guess you could say that, but then again.. He's not really… ah.. Human anymore per se .. Didn't you notice anything strange about him..?" he questioned, quirking a brow.

Her memory quickly flashed back to him lifting her up with one hand. She looked into his eyes through his shades and saw a hint of red in them. She gasped as she came back from the memory, horrified, "The Virus.."

Godric nodded, "He'd injected the Progenitor into himself under Birkin's watch and survived. He convinced Wesker to take the Virus into himself.."

She covered her agape mouth, her eyes filled with mixed emotion, "So… he's got the Progenitor Virus.. That's why he's so powerful.."

He nodded again, "Not so much, from what I know Birkin gave him another unspecified Virus, after which he is still alive, so that's why I don't test the man. You've got a set of balls on you, lady.. How old are you..?" he questioned.

"I'm 23... And it's a pleasure to meet you Godric.. Thank you…but I think it was more ignorance than balls." she outstretched her hand.

Taking gladly, he shook it, "Oh, it's no problem! Your name is Evangeline Holtz, right..? The smartest Bio Engineer?"

She nodded this time, taken aback by his question, "You know me..?"

He chuckled, "Holy shit! Only by your successful reputation of course! Your fucking brilliant!!" He covered his mouth for a moment, "Sorry, I got excited…"

"Your excited about me..?" She raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Some kind of reputation must precede me then… I didn't know I was this famous.."

"We should get to work before Mr. Grump pants comes back.. He won't take lightly to us just sitting around, chatting it up…huh?" He nudged her lightly, smiling playfully.

This guy was pretty handsome, she thought. Green eyes, short brown hair.. Great smile. He was very funny and kind hearted for such a man who you'd think wouldn't be working for Wesker. Then again, did she ever think that this would be her lifestyle as well…? Creating beings far beyond acceptable human standards ..? She shook herself out of her thought and nodded, giggling lightly, "Alright… let's go.."

Wesker paced the floor in the lab. What the hell is taking them so long?? He frowned. This isn't like Godric to not be at his station on time. He knows better.

The door to the lab opened, Godric and Lina walked through, giggling like little children. Wesker gritted his teeth, "What are you two laughing about…?"

They both looked at him and laughed, both waving their hands, "Nothing, nothing sir…"

"Then get to work!!" he yelled, clenching his fists.

They both nodded, snickering, "Yes sir!!" Godric leaned in close and whispered to her, "Oscar the grouch from Sesame Street."

Lina couldn't help but look at Wesker and start laughing, "Hehe… I'm not sure he lives in a garbage can, though. He seems like a snob.."

Wesker shot daggers at them both from his now reddened eyes.

Godric cleared his throat, not pushing the jokes anymore. He got straight to work, showing Lina to her new station, informing her of how they were to test the creatures with the different viruses to see what would happen and to tune the viruses structures to make them more accepting of their hosts.

She nodded intently, her beautiful blue eyes lighting up as they wandered to the surveillance area, admiring all the different creatures incased in their cages, "Wow… it must've been tough capturing all of these things.."

He went to speak but Wesker interjected, scoffing, "It wasn't "tough". Don't do anything foolish like Godric did today… and I won't have to capture more… or put your head on a pike.." He glared at Godric, forcing him to close his mouth.

Lina turned to Wesker and smiled, still feeling power emanating from him and that made her fearful of him, "Don't worry, I'm not that clumsy.." For the first time she was actually able to look at Wesker, to really look at him. Suffice to say she wasn't disappointed with what she saw. God damn, he's so… gorgeous.. Her mouth slowly betrayed her, opening, "Wow…"

Godric walked up to her, he shook her shoulder gently, "Lina…?"

She awoke from the daze, a blush creeping up on her cheeks, "Huh..? Oh… right…" turning to her station, she sat down quickly, avoiding Wesker's strange stare.

Wesker cringed, feeling sick. Did she just do what I think she did..? He had to get out of that room before he choked her again. He almost flew out of the room, slamming the door behind him. It would seem every door in the facility was destined to hang awkwardly.

Lina looked up at Godric as he came to sit beside her, "Did I do something again? Fuck, you can never win with him…"

He shook his head, "I know, if you make progress in his vision though, will he ever light up..not that you'll notice much…" he said smiling.

She looked down at the keyboard, her eyes welling up with tears, "Can you believe he… bought me..?" she turned her head to look at him, her eyes a dark swirl of hatred and sadness.

"Wha.. What do you mean?" he looked puzzled.

"He bought me… from my… Guardian. He worked for Wesker and ran a Facility for him. I was under his care since my parents died. He taught me everything I know… but then exchanged me for 200k.. Like I was a piece of shit…" she broke into sobs.

Putting a hand to her shoulder, he sighed, "Let me tell you… Wesker is very stingy, he doesn't like to waste money on anything unimportant.. So that must mean your something to him..? If not only for his work but… I'm here too! And I love being in your company, I've got someone to joke around with. Everyone in this Facility is so tight lipped and snotty.." he made a silly nose-in-air snob face, making Lina giggle a bit, "Now come on, we'll just keep working.." He smiled, patting her on the shoulder then turning to his computer and his work.

Lina smiled, wiping the tears away, turning her attention back to her computer as well.
