Many hours of fighting later, Ryan and Alice breathed out exhausted sighs as they slumped against the wall beside each other, staring at their latest Web Spinner kill. Weiss stood nearby, consulting her tablet to confirm the presence of the T-Virus in the facility.
"My sensors indicate that there aren't any more B.O.W's left alive. I can only detect the two of you right in front of me. You've finally done it! It's finally cleared. Thank you very much." Weiss was beyond happy with their success.
"One last thing before we leave." Alice relayed Ryan's question that he'd just asked Telepathically. "Ryan wants to know what the Purge device does."
"It has two different functions. The first function is a two stage facility-wide incineration. Anything that is flammable or organic is immolated in mere seconds due to the sudden increase in temperature to six thousand degrees Celcius." Weiss explained. "This is then followed by the facility's sprinkler systems extinguishing any remaining flames."
"And the other function?" Alice relayed, even though she already knew the answer herself.
'The entire facility self destructs." Weiss replied simply. "All computers are delivered automatic electromagnetic pulses, rendering all data corrupted, then the structure is destroyed seconds later."
"And what function did you give me access to?" Ryan asked, extending his hand and causing his holographic tablet to appear in his grasp. He didn't type anything, just stared at the screen. Alice relayed his question for him, and Weiss gave a slow nod.
"I gave both. But now that the facility has been secured and gone completely rogue, there is no longer any need for the Purge system to remain operational. I have completely disabled the source codes from my systems and disarmed the device itself." Weiss replied in a proud voice.
"I have an idea, why not rearm the first function to clear out all of the B.O.W corpses? We'll leave, and you set off the system, then come back once it is all safe." Alice suggested, but Weiss shook her head as she pressed her tablet to her chest.
"The Purge device will never be operational ever again, and I removed the computer code from my systems entirely. Even if I tried, it would never work again." Weiss explained, but Ryan looked up at her and spoke vocally.
"Kaaaatieeeeee caaaaannnnnnnnn buuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnn themmmmm."
"Good idea, but until she recovers from her exhaustion, that cannot be done." Weiss reminded him, "If she is capable of doing it, she can clear out the entire facility with her own version of the Stage One Purge."
"We'll have to confirm that even for ourselves, Weiss. But that is a perfect idea. Is there any way that we would be able to head back to the surface to notify Michelle that our mission is complete, except for the cleaning up."
"Certainly. I believe that the Level 5 Quarantine is now rectified. I will release the lockdown momentarily." Weiss began tapping several commands into her tablet, then the sounds of locks began releasing from all around them, and they both sighed happily.
"Alright, we'll head back topside and let Michelle know the place just needs some cleaning, then it can officially become part of Sanctuary. I take it that this place has an operational medical center, food supplies, an armoury, everything, right?" Alice asked, sheathing her kukris onto her lower back.
"Yes, the only real damage that I can detect was Katie's destruction of my communications room blast doors and Wesker's damage to the walls from throwing you around. Nothing else appears to be damaged in any way." Weiss replied with a firm nod. "The lockdown has finished being removed. The elevator should take you all the way to the top floor from here. I shall await Katie's arrival."
Alice gave a nod, then took Ryan's hand and hauled him to his feet. They gave Weiss a wave before entering the nearest elevator and taking it all the way back to the surface entrance.
"So... How many kills did you get? I'll chalk up Wesker's death as Katie's, so it won't count. I killed 202 B.O.W's... How many did you kill?" Ryan asked as they strode past their respective first kills.
Strangely, the entire facility had been inhabited by Web Spinner B.O.W's and not a single zombie. Maybe the Web Spinners were capable of breeding, and had originally fed on the former staff inside the facility before their food source was eliminated. Thus they'd been more than hungry when Michelle's recon team came inside the facility. Unfortunately Wesker had the T-Virus in his body, thus providing him with perfect camoflauge from their hunger.
"207." Alice replied with a smug grin. "Looks like I won that Challenge. When do I get my reward?"
"Soon." Ryan replied with an equally smug grin as they stepped onto the surface elevator and ascended to the surface. "You'll see, Itoshii."
Alice groaned. He was going to taunt her about it until he actually revealed it. This was going to be torture. Pure, cruel torture.
Once they arrived at the surface, it was nighttime, so they quickly returned to the fenceline that they'd originally traversed. Thankfully when they neared the fence, one of the guards confirmed their identities before they could be shot at. As they came within range for Ryan to jump, he suddenly grabbed Alice under her knees and swung her into his arms, causing her to squeal with surprised delight before laughing as he continued running. However, the good natured expression on her face changed when he suddenly launched himself into the air and flew over the fence by almost ten feet. She gave a startled cry as they flew over the heads of the laughing guards.
Alice wrapped her arms around his neck tightly as the ground loomed closer in her vision, but Ryan simply laughed and landed in a long slide, skidding to a halt twenty feet away from the inital point of contact.
Amidst the roaring laughter of the guards, Ryan put Alice down, only to receive a kiss from her.
"That was actually really fun." She teased him. "C'mon, let's head back home for the night. We can go find Michelle in the morning."
Returning to their apartment a few minutes later, they entered to find that Katie had indeed completely rearranged the furniture since they'd left. In fact, Katie was fast asleep on the couch, all of her gear piled on the floor beside her in a mess of pouches and guns.
"Shhh... let her sleep. She definitly needs it after dealing with Wesker the way she did." Alice spoke Telepathically as she carefully closed the door behind them. "Come with me."
Taking him by the wrist, Alice lead him across the apartment in total silence and into the short hallway where the three bedrooms and the bathroom were located. She pulled him into the master bedroom and Telekinetically closed the door behind him as she pushed him to sit down on the bed.
"So this is our room. I like it, very cozy." Ryan smiled, pulling his mask down as he began to remove all of his weapons from his body, including his Beretta. He slid them all under the bed, but when he'd straightened back up, he was startled by the sight of Alice pulling her shirt over her head.
His gaze was almost instantly locked onto her smoothly toned stomach that had just barely a hint of showing off her strong abs. As the shirt moved further upwards, he blushed brightly as he took in the sight of her bra covered breasts.
She finally removed the shirt and tossed it onto the floor, her gaze more focused on what she was doing rather than how statuesque that Ryan had become, staring at her in near panic.
She next began to remove her gear belt and leg holsters, unintentionally doing it with a taunting slowness as Ryan's eyes followed her hands every movement. She tossed the gear belt aside as well, with the holsters still attached.
Ryan felt a bead of sweat sliding down his forehead, but he couldn't move a single muscle. Alice's unintended striptease had him completely paralyzed with the sole exception of his eyes. They alone were able to move, but they were locked onto to her slowly revealing herself to him.
With a sigh, she then pulled her jeans down, excrutiatingly slowly, her long toned legs slowly being revealed to Ryan's stunned eyes. She stepped out of them from around her ankles and finally realized that he had watched the entire process of her undressing.
With a small laugh, Alice stepped closer to him and pushed him onto his back with her hand on his shoulder, crawling over top of him in nothing except for her bracers and her underwear.
"Liked what you saw?" She teased him, giving him a long slow kiss. "I think it's fair to have teased you like that, like you've been doing about my reward for that Challenge, hm?" She asked, still using Telepathy so that they wouldn't wake up Katie.
"You really want to know what the reward was going to be?" Ryan smiled as Alice began to make quick work of his body armour's buckles, then she Telekinetically pulled it off, then tossed it to the floor with a soft thump. "Do you really want to know?" He teased even more as Alice removed his heavily loaded gear belt and unbuckled his holsters leg straps.
"Maybe... Maybe not." Alice purred as his belt joined hers on the floor with a definitely noticible thumping sound. However, neither of them cared if Katie heard them as the rest of Ryan's armour was removed from his body, including his hood, mask and the ammo pouches on his left bicep. However, Alice stopped dead in her tracks after she reached for his left bracer, the one that apparently hid his scar.
"Can... Can I..." She stumbled through her question, but in a surprising move from Ryan, he reached between their torsos with his other hand and began to unbuckle the bracer from his arm.
"I think it's time I actually showed you the reason that I hide this scar." Ryan explained as he finally after all the time since he'd first donned that bracer over four years earlier, removed it from his arm and tossed aside.
Alice stared at the massive scar than almost covered the entire length of his inner forearm, But the shape of the scar caught her attention and she giggled.
"The scar looks like it's in the shape of a dick. Is that why you hid it for all these years?" Alice asked, slowly and gently running her fingertips along the length of the scar.
"Yeah, actually, it is. I know, it's such a trivial reason, but ever since I made it, I'd NEVER taken it off for any reason. But I think that you would understand my reasoning, so you are the first person in the world to see my left forearm in it's full glory." Ryan replied Telepathically as he shivered at her gentle touch. It sent chills down his spine when she touched any of his scars.
"Well, speaking of seeing things in their full glory..." Alice's voice adopted a husky purr as she pulled his black T-shirt over his head and threw it over her shoulder. She smiled triumphantly as she FINALLY got to see his powerfully muscled chest, one that his infernal shirt had only shown hints, teased and taunted her eyes. Now, it was all hers to feast her eyes upon, to touch, to love.
With a quick flick of his wrist, Ryan unclasped Alice's bra from around her back, and her arms quickly went to catch the falling garment, but Ryan knocked it aside in mid air, leaving her to smile seductively as she concealed her breasts from him with her arms.
"Oh, you naughty boy!" Alice taunted him, then realized that in their current position of her straddling his legs, they could progress no further in their mutual undressing.
"I'm sure you've caught onto that side of me at some point." Ryan replied with a wide smile, carefully lifting her up by the hips and freeing his legs from her hold.
Alice quickly wrapped her arms and legs around his body for support as he stood up, then she Telekinetically sent his cargo pants straight to the floor along with his boxers, her mouth occupied with his own, both of their tongues fighting for control.
"One more thing left to do." Ryan taunted as he reached his left hand down to her panties and slowly pulled them down her smooth toned legs. She lightly hopped down from her hold around his body, then stepped out of her last garment, both of them finally standing in their full glory.
"I only have one thing to say to you, Itoshii." Alice spoke Telepathically with a huge smile on her face, her eyes staring at him seductively.
"And that is?" Ryan asked, raising an eyebrow as he slowly ran his hand from the top side of her ribcage down to her hip.
"I want you to fuck me like you mean it." Alice replied vocally just before launching herself into his arms.
