@malviral the starter we were talking about ❤️
Infuriating. Few things are, nowadays, and yet, every now and then, a rare gem of a situation will show itself and reveal that, yes, she can indeed still be irritated beyond belief. The past months have been hard enough as it is, and there's a part in her, beyond her triumph, that's still grappling with anger about the absurdity of what her reality has become. Ada lets out a small sigh as she tightens off the bandage wrapped around her shoulder. She's fine, of course she is, but the aftermath of her latest clean-up mission could have gone less.. messily. Her injuries are minimal, only a few cuts, caused by debris and shrapnel flying everywhere in the wake of the explosions she'd caused.
The bed she's on is uncomfortable to say the least, but when one is on the run, there's rarely five star hotels to stay in, especially in rural eastern asia. There's a tall mirror opposite the bed, one she'd dragged there from across the room, to make her job of patching herself up easier. It had served its purpose, and Ada was finishing up the bandages around her left arm. Keeping wounds clean and wrapped was imperative, especially with a new job on the horizon.
The plan is to leave tonight, at a time when everyone in the small, worn down inn is asleep, so she has a couple of hours to rest- it has been a while since that was an option. She throws a glance to the pile of clothes she won't be wearing again, stained with blood, dust and gunpowder. It's unlikely she'll return to where she got them, but she'll have to replace her small yet convenient wardrobe anyways.
For now, Ada leaves behind the red she's grown attached to, on one hand, because she doesn't have red options available, but on the other, she's going to be travelling, so remaining incognito is important until she gets to her next mission. The black dress she wears resembles her red dress in style, being made of thick, warm fabric, with a high turtleneck and long sleeves, and it allows her to move around freely, which is her main preference in clothes.
Her phone pings, a sound it makes when notifying her of a message in a secure channel, and Ada sighs. Her new mission's employers must be in a rush. Reaching over on the bed to grab it, she gives it a disinterested glance, only to pause all her movements and freeze in place. The message is indeed in a secure channel, but it's a private channel, one only her and one other person have access too. The message has no words, it's just coordinates. The anger in her swells as she puts two and two together and moves to stand, a bit too quickly, but she swallows the sting of pain with a quirk of her brow.
Her things are packed within minutes, and Ada finds herself wondering how she's got into a situation like this again. She'll have to take a public service flight to get to where she needs to quickly, she doesn't have time to gain access to her own means of transportation, and although she is used to far louder noise than chatter, the ten hour flight is the worst ten hours of her life so far.
For the rest of the way, she buys a car in the nearest city- under a false name and quickly enough to not be caught on any camerase. Ada stays in the city for a while, not to test the messenger's patience, but to wait for rain- it'll cancel out tire marks in the road of the forest she's driving into. It's a couple of hours of driving in complete wilderness, and it's significantly better than the flight. Reaching the surprisingly intact facilty found at the coordinates she was sent, Ada stands outside the doors for a while. Unlike the gigantic industrial complexes and company-owned buildings she's infiltrated before, this is a simple looking forest house. The door is unlocked, obviously, but Ada knows better than to take this as a sign of trust.
Her gun is loaded and bears a silencer, and Ada wastes no time holding it out in front of her as she makes her way through the relatively modern interior of the large cabin. She knows what she's looking for without being told, and the door to the office is kicked down, not opened. The weapon remains pointed, moreso now than before, directed towards the man sitting behind the desk in this room. Ada tries to sound as unbothered as possible, but her finger on the trigger speaks volumes for her.
❝ You better have a good explanation, or I swear, I will shoot you, Wesker. Your audacity is astounding. ❞
