Quarrels

"You're lucky to even be breathing kid," Ada scoffed to herself, waiting for Steve to wake up. Ada cracks open the water bottle on the table, next to Steve and drinks it whole.

Steve had been sleeping for a whole day which was more shocking than anything since the only thing his body ingested was the blue liquid in the capsule.

Ada stared at Steve, unsure of how to take this all in. Not only, is Steve not brain dead but woke up at the exact time he was supposed to wake. "Maybe it was the virus, that woke him," she said to herself

Steve was under a blanket and Ada was slowly realizing that he is nude. she chuckles to realizing that this kid is not really a kid anymore. with the number of years, he has been sleeping, he is a full-fledged adult, by far. The figure he had, a sharp young man, when Wesker brought him here, was no longer like it was. His figure was broader and lean for a 6-foot looking male. Steve's hair a foot longer and slightly darker than his original shade. He truly looked older than before.

The door of the medical center echoes a harsh set of knocks, interrupting Ada's thoughts. The door opens, revealing the man who put Steve in there, who was also the same man who was the security guard all those years back.

"Oh, hey Jason," Ada said, "What 'ya need?"

"I'm here to check on the kid. When he woke he was begging for answers. I'm here to help train him, not here to be a dad-" Jason was interrupted as Ada finished his thought

"But you couldn't help but feel bad for him. Not only has he lost his old life, but his parents, maybe even his memory". a moment of silence was given from both of them. the only sound they both could hear is the ventilator pumping air into Steve's lungs. "... Plus," she continued. "He lost 15 years of his life to that capsule and to the Veronica virus. There's no telling what he'll be like when he wakes up." She spoke as if she was confident that the boy would wake a monster or just undead

Once again, the only noise that can be heard in the room is the ventilator pumping in the air and rushing it into Steve's lungs. The tense vibe they both felt was almost palpable. They were both thinking the same thing about Steve.

Maybe it's better off if he stayed dead. Neither of them would admit to that thought, but both could tell, they knew they were thinking it.

Steve breaks the eerie silence by groaning and coughing more mucus out of his lungs. the gunk splatters into the oxygen mask. he leans up coughing more and more heaving and exhaling harshly, attempting to gain the strength in his lungs. Ada and Jason stare in fear and curiosity, unsure to pull their pistol out of their holsters. Jason unbuckles his holster, ready to aim and shoot. Steve coughs more and more, feeling the painful strain in clearing his throat.

Finally, Steve stops coughing as his eyes look to Ada. Ada looked shocked at him looking to her. Steve breathes heavily as his exhausted lungs start to work on there own. "...Hun-." Steve tried to speak "... Hungry.." his voice was very soft and torn "...Could go for a sandwich".

Ada and Jason both looked relieved.

Ada went to the fridge to bring out a wrapped up ham sandwich with cheese and a bottle of water. Ada, then brings the meal to Steve, as he removes the oxygen mask on him.

"Jason, go get some clothes for him" Ada demands to Jason. he nods and leaves, giving Ada and Steve some time alone. Ada spoke whilst giving Steve the food "Get some food in your belly. After that, I'll answer any questions you got." immediately, Ada looked a bit annoyed that this kid in a man's body was her responsibility. She was trying her best not to make it noticeable that she was irritated, but it was clearer than water with her expression

Steve nodded to her looking thankful. Ada shivers from him looking at her. Steve figures that she just finds him unappealing and nods off as he eats slowly. He was in bliss savoring every bite. he could taste everything in the sandwich and felt ecstatic to eating a common ham and cheese sandwich. His body was at bliss but felt confused about why he felt this way towards a simple sandwich.

Steve took his final bite, chews, and swallows. He takes a deep inhale, as he exhales, he stares at Ada and speaks softly. "Who are you people, where's my dad, where am I and why am I here?"
