DON'T BLAME ME FOR READING THIS SHITTY ASS CHAPTER!
~Disclaimer: I don't own Prototype.~
Alex stood on the roof, mortified at the sight of the insane woman before him. His eyeballs switched back and forth, following Ria's fast movements in tearing Hunter's apart. He watched her sink her 19 inch nails into the skull of a Hunter and splitting them up, spewing brain pieces all over the roof. He watched her tear a Hunters hind leg and left arm right from its socket. Blood was spewing all over the place.
At last, the menace of a woman stopped as all the Hunters lay dead on her feet. Ria panted, her hair messy and ruffled up, her face covered with splatters of blood. She turned to face Alex, her eyes filled with murder and insanity. Alex shivered on the spot, cautious whether the woman will turn on him and start tearing his limbs apart.
Ria staggered a few steps towards him, blood dripping from her ever so present nails. Alex took a cautious stance as she approached him.
"That. Was." She started, her voice hoarse from roaring like a complete maniac during her massacre. Alex stood transfixed, contemplating what she would do when a a grin appeared on her face. "FANTASTIC!" She roared, her demeanor changing to a sugar-freaked 4year old.
Alex blinked at her words as he witnessed Ria talking in high speed of her actions. "Did you just see that?! Them Hunters have nothing against me! I was all like 'slash slash!' and they're all like 'Oh no!' and then I went all Jackie Chan on them and they're all like 'AH!'!" Ria spoke whilst doing gestures that mimicked her words. Alex closed his eyes in annoyance as Ria kept on giggling and story-telled her excitement.
"And the best part was, I got me these babies!" Ria squealed and brandished her 10 nails in pride. "Nothing can stop me now!" Ria roared when a roar echoed into the atmosphere. The pair turned to view on the Hives exploding with mass bits of concrete and red glowing stuff. Large figures emerged from the Hives and landed on the ground with a loud impact. Alex squinted his eyes and recognized the Brawlers. The released Brawlers made waste with the BLACKWATCH officers on the ground the strike team appeared.
Ria's eyes sparkled as she witnessed the big flesh covered Brawlers raging amuck down below. She faced Alex, squirming in her position. Sensing the restless infected behind him Alex sighed annoyingly. "We are not fighting the Brawlers." Alex spoke in a commanding tone.
"Oh come on! Its just a few of them. I can totally kill them easily with my babies." Ria wiggled her nails in a girly way. Alex shook his head. "Too much BLACKWATCH over here. We agreed to not let them see you remember?" Alex spoke.
"Uh, no. You agreed to that on your own whereas I'm still thinking about it. Come one Mercer. Let me kill them! The Hunters are boring to kill." Ria spoke.
"Says the woman who screamed like a maniac when killing them." Alex answered back with his arms crossed.
"ALEX!" Ria whined and stomped the ground with her foot in defiance like a little child. It made a quite a dent on the roof. Alex arms tightened in crossing position and shook his head. "No. We are not fighting the Brawlers and that is final." Alex spoke firmly to her. Ria reacted like a little kid when Alex said that. She stomped the ground and kicked the air ducts on the roof in anger, all the while screaming profanities at the air. Alex rubbed his temples. He is the all powerful Zeus and yet somehow he landed on a babysitting gig. Maybe changing Ria wasn't such a good idea.
"If you're done bitching about it, maybe we can go home now?" Alex spoke in really annoyed tone. Ria glared at Alex and walked towards him, her nose up in the air. She jumped hard from the roof and left Alex standing alone. Alex shook his head, again blaming himself for changing her. But what else could he do. He's freaking lonely! If he had to live one more day of solitude, he's gonna kill himself.
"Hurry up FATASS!" Ria yelled from behind and Alex felt a vein popped on his forehead. But being a patient man, he just suck it up and quickly followed in behind Ria. He could sense that she's pissed off at him but hey, she needed to be kept a secret from BLACKWATCH. Once Cross gets word of a female 'Mercer' running around, he won't stop till he gets her. And frankly, Alex is a tad bit worried for her. She's his only friend and he ain't gonna change another random citizen into a monster.
"I'm only doing this because of your safety." Alex started slowly as the latter jumped and glided from building to building. Ria ignored him.
"Its a precaution." Alex continued.
"Precaution my fucking ass! You're just don't want me to have any fun!" Ria yelled out without looking back at him.
"Do you want BLACKWATCH behind your fucking ass all the time?! Once they get word of you, you'll be pinpointed everywhere you go! And quite frankly you're prone to getting into mistakes!" Alex spoke back.
"I can take fucking care of myself. I don't need your concern Mercer!" Ria yelled back.
"Well then FINE!" Alex yelled out loud and punched a water tank he was passing by. The water tank groaned loudly as it was detached from the roof and fell on the ground. The impact was loud enough to get the people running down below. Ria stopped short at his actions, shocked at Alex's anger.
Alex walked towards Ria, demeanor completely angry and down right pissed. Ria couldn't move an inch after seeing her savior's sudden burst of anger. It always struck to her that Alex was a calm, patient man so seeing him suddenly so angry surprised her a hell lot. Made her feel scared of him too. Alex stood in front of Ria, his tall built cowering over Ria. Ria stood rooted on the spot, waiting for him to speak what was on his mind.
"Just don't fuck things up when I'm not around, you got that?" Alex warned her in the most scariest voice Ria had ever heard. Alex walked past her and got himself ready to jump.
Ria turned sharply. "Where are you going?" Ria asked, not the usual voice she used as a result of shock from Alex's warning.
"I need to buy food for Dana. Go do whatever you want. Curfew is midnight. Be at the safe house by then or you'll get it." Alex eyed her warningly and Ria shifted her legs uncomfortably. He jumped off the roof to the opposite direction. Right after Alex left, Ria let out a gust of air in relief. She glared at the direction where he left and scoffed.
"So what, asshole?! I ain't afraid of ya!" Ria spoke out loud and gave out a loud raspberry at his direction. Ria rolled her eyes and took off on top a few buildings, wanting to clear her head. She didn't know where she was heading but all she wanted to do was clear her head. Recalling back Alex's anger, she stopped on her tracks.
That was the first time she saw Alex angry at her. It felt shocking and scary. She knew that calm and patient people have the worst anger but never did she get so scared of one. She's a tough delinquent at school and the strictest of teachers never left her feeling scared or frightened but Alex, he's another story. Never before had someone made her feel down right frightened of them. It scared her.
But why did he made her feel that way? What effect did he have on her? It's not like they were anything. The relationship between them is somewhat neutral and yet, Ria hade this unsettling feeling in her stomach. She recalled when she was on top of him earlier that day. He was so close to her, she could feel his breath on her cheeks. Her heart thumped a wee bit stronger at the thought.
Ria crouched on her knees, hands covering her face. She was confused at these sudden feelings. They were friends, right? Ria thought back at Alex's discomfort when the topic of friends appeared after he showed her his DEVASTATOR move. He wasn't comfortable and his face was distorted in mixed feelings. Did he or did he not want to be friends with her? It confuses her so much.
"Ugh, Fuck!" Ria cursed herself and kicked the air duct on the roof. She didn't know why she was thinking of such thoughts and she didn't like it. No way, no how is a man going to mess up her train of thoughts. Fuck him, Ria thought/cursed. It's his fault she's feeling this way and she's damn pissed.
Ria shrugged off the feeling as she continues her way to the Green Zone. People was bustling about, doing their daily routines as the sun set on the Manhattan horizon signaling the nearing of the end of the day. Night was due very soon and Ria didn't fully experimented on her powers. Funny, having BLACKLIGHT in her body suddenly made her feel so science-y all of the sudden.
Ria headed on top of a decent rooftop to experiment on her powers. With the night closing in, no Helicopters could detect her so easily. Ria willed her nails out, all 10 of them and stared at them proudly. She'll experiment for a bit but will keep herself in line. She didn't want to Alex get angry at her. Seeing him angry was frightening enough.
SPOILER!
Next chapter, Ria's gonna experiment on her new powers. Review me some options for a different power then Mercer's and I'll might consider them! And a lil bit of Alex's trip to the grocery.
Adios, Hombres!
