Resident Evil Revival

Chapter 18

Ada was watching Steve as they walked down the blank mindless halls once more. A stare she gave that usually meant that she knew what he is thinking or she was wondering what was about to happen prior to her interruption between Steve and Yumi. Steve gave a double-take glance every time he had noticed her staring at him. A soft gentle cocky smile half-closed eyes darted at him. It was a bit of a sassy look that came from Ada. Steve was getting annoyed and was about to speak but she does first,

"So, have you had any memories come back to you?" her voice was gentle, but her stare had not stopped

Steve shook his head softly, "Just bits and pieces. I know I was in a prison for a while. A month-long maybe? It's pretty hard to know just by..." he stammered some. "I dunno. it's difficult to know everything just by bits of memory," he scoffed, annoyed for this needing to be so complicated. 

Ada's stare killed the grin as she saw how irritated he looked over this. Finally, her stare broke as her eyes then faced forward, "Trust me, I wish things were easier for you. You were thrown into this."

Steve shook his head in disagreement, "I can't know that for sure. Not until I remember everything." Steve spoke stern and cold. It was clear he was not going to like remembering anything from the space between being at home and being here. Ada sighed softly. 

Steve then noticed something a bit odd. he did not exactly recall this hall that they were walking in. "uhh, where are we?" he spoke concerned to his surroundings. the halls sure looked like everywhere else inside this hell-maze but this place was unkempt compared to the halls where people live, sleep and study.

Ada smiled softly as she then turned to a door and opened it, revealing a pretty spacious room with a bed and some spare clothes and a desk. Steve was a bit of a dunce, unsure of what the point of coming here was for. She stared at him and gave an exasperated sigh, "It's your new bedroom. I dusted and cleaned this whole room for you to sleep in an actual bed."

Steve's eyes widened a bit, shocked that Ada was even willing to take the time to do something like this. Steve scoffed in light disbelief, "Ada... This is awesome," he took a few steps in as he lied through his teeth. If he said that he was fine in the infirmary, Ada would have probably snapped at him telling him off and would give him the silent treatment for the rest of the day and act moody on the next. "Thank you so much for this."

"You suck at lying, kid" Ada chuckled out, to which Steve froze up, then sighed. "It's best to not try to hide from me, Steve. Learn to lie before you lie to the double agent," she sighed and looked a bit frustrated to his response. she was clearly hiding her anger. "So what's not to like?"

Steve turned to look at her and could see the visible frustration in the expression she was giving, "Well..." he needed her calm before he spoke anything. "For starters, I really dislike being away from everyone I can't trust," he joked. 

Ada stared at him in disbelief, "Oh, the people who you cuddle with on a bed is someone you don't trust?" she teased before she nodded solemnly, "Got ya'."

Steve gave a look that showed he gave up in trying to be nice. His whole body became more defenseless. His arms hung and he hunched more naturally as he stared over to her, "Fine! I like the infirmary. It has water and food nearby and I like the company! ok?" 

Ada scoffed in frustration. She did not care about arguing. Steve could tell that she was mad, probably because she had cleaned this room or had someone else clean it so Steve could have a place to sleep. She gave Steve a look of discomfort before she turned and gestured him to follow her, "I'm going to be starting a mission tomorrow. I need you and Jason to look over the facility while I'm gone," She walked out of the room as she spoke. Her heels clacked and echoed down the pale tile halls.
