The boat lurched and shook the minor wave it was riding caused by the explosion, now being pushed by its motor

Alex Mercer was no bitch, but this time around he felt afraid. He didn't know why 'I'm not gonna die even if I was caught in the damn explosion...yet I feel like...'

He turned his head around and looked to the hatch where he left the victim of experimentation. Was that why he did all that running? Why did he care?

"Not the time. I need to set this thing to a course" he reminded his overthinking cap and selected through the navigating panel a location. They were now in the east side harbor of what he gaped was Japan

"Holy... I really need to sit down in a garden rather than run randomly"

He sighed and shrugged his shoulders "Okay then we head back to the U.S."

He scrolled the screen and selected a place he had not visited. Somehow he recalled that once wanted to visit one place that was now blinking

He chose in a plain flick California. They say they know how to party, and that's what he needed

"Alright. Shit is done, now I can sit back and await to find land" He put the boat on Auto, flicking a switch and leaving to go below deck

He jumped over into the hatch acrobatically to land in a quite thud to not awake the pink haired lady. He could still not find why she was called a monster, even less why she was threated so

'Its not like she killed pass a hundred people right?'

He walked to the room he placed her in and thought about what he could tell the poor lady. Would she trust him? Now that he looked at his hands and attire he had second doubts

He in truth looked to be the very definition of hoodlum, worse so the inside as he housed the powers of total slaughter

He had a damn hoodie on that lit up in red viral light for god's sake! 'Calm down. Just talk. I need to be honest'

He stopped walking. 'Wait'

"Why do I care how I look? I am Mercer not a begger!"

He opened the door without hesitation and looked to the sofa he placed her. Alex huffed seeing blood dripping from her injuries "Humans. They make us and label us monsters when ironically they are no better, even worse."

He kneeled before her twitching suffering facial features. She was pretty, he could say that. Sadly, he could see that behind that was a true beast, how could she not? There's a reason why she was locked up

He ignored that and began to patch her up using a medkit he found attached on the wall and his abilities that would make sure to increase her healing process

He sewned the openings and gashes made by god knows what with needle, applying alcohol before closing the wounds of such violent experimentation

Secondly, he checked her over and certified no serious hemorrage or broken bones seemed to have happened

Thirdly, Alex cleaned her body in the shower. Amazingly, he barely noticed that she was naked this whole time. He nosebled at the realization and supressed his stupidty for some other time, right now she needed to be tended with extreme care

He washed the blood off and held in anger each time he revealed a scar of the past. This girl, whom ever she was, had an impressive record of injuries

By his sight, he learn she had survived fire, ice, poison, and other stuff that he could not believe she made it through. Bullet holes riddled her body as if she survive a rain of it that seemed to have successfully faded to leave strange small holes.
