>get his ass
Gordon is currently recalling a dream, and cannot accept command inputs.
The man in the suit is bracing against the door, holding back something that clearly wants to get in very badly. It’s unsettling, seeing him strung out like this.
He continues to speak at you.
“Unfortunately, for both of us, you are one of the only resources that I currently have, access too, and though you may be-, h... unnnagreeable, at times... you do know how to get a job done. Your new task, is simple.”
Before he can finish his thought, another door to his left opens and in steps a figure.
They speak in a voice you recognize instantly.
“Hello? Uh, I got the blue thing-”
She stops and turns to look at you.
It was Alyx.
She was safe.
Before you even had a chance to feel relief, however,
Y’know what, getting his ass actually sounds really good right about now.
You barely take a step before-
-the door he was holding back bursts open.
It’s a beast of some sort, taller than everyone in the room, making screeching and roaring noises you could barely comprehend, and behind it you could see many more of different shapes. Its eyes glow a dangerous red, and the light outlining its silhouette indicates that it is pink in color.
You’re still holding your crowbar.
The suited man pushes Alyx away from the situation out of the corner of your eye, and not needing any more prompting, you engage the beast as it storms towards you, jaw unhinged.
The fight doesn’t last long, as creatures of all shapes come storming into the room behind it, and you find the floor give out from under you. You all fall, looking up to see Alyx and the man stay in their spot and getting farther and farther away. The beasts and creatures disintegrate in thin air, catching flash fire and burning away in an instant. The dark black void starts fading away into grey, and then white so blinding you have to close your eyes. You feel your glasses lift off your face, your crowbar turn to ash in your grip, and your HEV suit fall apart piece by piece off of your body. Your vision goes white. Your ears find themselves void of any sound.
Somehow, you see him toss something down to you, and you hear his order.
You woke up at the wheel of a truck to the tone of the smart phone he threw down to you.
