I'm not afraid of you now I'm not afraid of you now villain and violent infant and innocent baby both arms cradle you now I'm not afraid of you now. - "Forwards Beckon Rebound" by Adrienne Lenker.

"Russell Adler, I've been expecting you." He hears her cold voice, thickened with disdain and perhaps resentment, which was ironic that he should be displaying such... dislike towards her instead of the way around for giving him so many emotional scars than his time in Vietnam had given him. "I see we bear similar scars now," Marlene, the little terror who's been a painful thorn to his side, simply sat in front of him on some wooden stool as she nodded at his neck.

Just the opposite sides, kid...

"I wasn't expecting a warm welcome, but..." He stated blankly and tried readjusting his restraints. "I would've expected to be somewhere more reclusive... instead of the same room you entrapped me."

"Don't worry, this isn't my safe house. It's just... temporary." Those empty brown eyes of hers bore into his cold blue ones. His sunglasses remained on the creaky wooden floor. "So, I just removed the tracker from your pocket what you intended to put into me and put it in some fishing shop into fish bait. That's gonna be an interesting trip for your little jarheads." She chuckled dryly and played with the sharp edges of the silver blade.

"You never intended to kill me." He broke the silence after a moment of Marlene staring at him. As if she was inspecting the insect caught in a harmless trap.

"Why should I? Getting rid of you doesn't really benefit me," She leaned forward with her knife, the point end flipping to downwards with the handle in her grip. "You're just an CIA officer with not much value for me. Just one of those... potential casualties. I'd rather just let your job do it for me. I learnt a lot from my mother and the organization that taken me in."

"Astraea."

Marlene just stared at him and an unsettling smile dipped onto her features. "Of course, did you know that mercy isn't always a good thing? Especially the one receiving it? That's the lesson I learnt as a child and relearnt it the year after we first met. So, sparing you wasn't an act of kindness. Otherwise, it would've been nothing more a waste of my time." She reached over to fix his hair and paused to grip the scalp. "It's something you should consider learning for yourself."

Adler almost wants to laugh at that and not out of genuineness. More like sarcastically. It made him think these people were creating a merciless killer more than some obedient soldier, he doesn't really want to know if her mother was worst or not.

Marlene Monroe obviously knows what she is doing, and of course, he'll immediately believe she grew up like an seasoned field operator. What kind of mother teaches their child to be a soldier and to withstand torture in a long capacity? And Adler once believed he could've controlled her like he did with Bell a year ago.

He would've been easily compromised like now.

She let go of his scalp and went back to fiddling with the knife in her hands. "My time with them... made me realized we're not so different each other, although there was one difference that stood out. I had more freedom... and then when they took me in by force, it wasn't long before I felt true isolation. You and my previous interrogators in the past made me feel like I had an opportunity to leave the black hole before, but with them..." Marlene slowly leaned in again. "It was like there was no hope for me at all. Just absolute no way out until they just put you to better use. Nothing can make you feel that way compared to their ways."

Adler stayed still and barely budged from her intense gaze. "So the next time we meet and we will... perhaps I can show you what hell is truly like. It's nothing compared to your little MKUltra methods and all. Then maybe... maybe we'll see that little facade of yours break. Soldiers like you break eventually. They always do." She nodded with a little hum and lightly tapped his chin with the end of her knife.

"What happened to going home?" He had to ask since the last time he'd seen her, she was determine to do Astraea's dirty work in exchange to going home. Yet she was still here, continuing to be the war criminal he's hunting down.

Marlene tapped the knife on her own chin and looked thoughtful before rolling her shoulders. "There's nothing for me to go back to. You'll know the feeling of being seen as an actual villain someday, Russell Adler. Trust me, there's no worser feeling than your loved ones seeing you as the bad guy and eventually becoming one." She stood up from her seat towards a silver briefcase to unlock it.

"Now, I have very important matters to attend to than to entertain you and your whack jobs. So... until then, Russell Adler." Marlene finished before putting on a respirator and some little canister inside released gas. "Nighty night." Those empty brown eyes intently stared straight at his face to watch the drug take effect on him.

Adler felt his vision blurring and breathing became heavier. Little dots that slowly turned bigger filled his vision and it wasn't long before he completely blacked out.

Until then...

a.n: Beautiful artwork goes to the lovely @sleepyconfusedpotato and on my god, I loved this piece so much! This is more of a concept on how Adler tries to reach and confront the rotting apple of his eye who gave him fresh scars as she explains how she was taught and etc while he was restrained. This wasn't proofread either, so I apologize for any bad grammar detected.

How Marlene met The Safehouse Crew before CW events:

based on this TikTok video I stumbled upon on TikTok.

-

Adler, leans towards the lump in the snow and poked it with his assault rifle: "What the fuck is that fucking thing?"

Mason, cautiously steps away: "What the fu...?"

Delacroix, leans in for a closer look: "Hello...?"

Marlene, pokes her head up from the snow with that dead stare:

Adler, recoils back and boinks her face with his gun: "Woah!"

Mason, jumps from the sudden moment: "Woah!"

Woods, boinks Marlene's head with a stick: "Chill!"

Mason, slowly raises his gun at her appearance: "Scary!"

Adler, throws her incapacitated form over his shoulder: "Imma check her vibe."

Adler, ungraciously drops her in some abandoned area: "What are you?"

Delacroix, brings out a variety of necessities to keep her restrained: "Yeah, what are you?"

-- LATER --

Adler, gets his ass brutally beaten down and receives a new scar: "BAD VIBE-"

Explosion occurs.

Why I didn’t made Marlene Monroe a Bell Character:

I had this serious debate with myself while having a congested throat and sore ears. So I hope y’all don’t mind if I yap this out and this makes sense since I’m still sick (with an delirious brain):

On a serious note why I didn’t bother going with this route was that because Marlene Monroe has her own potential as her own character and developed a lot on her own to be Bellified.

And that she’s too dangerous to be a brainwashed CIA operator. I just realized this when I was writing her lore and all. Marlene was trained well to have a steady mental stability and all, but she hadn’t been entirely mental, and she ended up using her anguish to amplify that. With all of that anger, pain, and grief combined into a cemented barrier.

She was only emotionally and mentally frail in less than a year because she lost someone so close to her before regaining, and rebuilding, that stability. Her walls got thicker with the new layers she’d instinctively created. Losing Anthony had terribly weakened her- which left her completely vulnerable - but yet made her twice as stronger at the same time despite having PTSD and all.

In the process of that: she goes through more pain and betrayal before finding herself in 1979 with fresh scars and begins to rebuild more barriers in the process. Besides, the organization that found Marlene had placed her in some dangerous program- which fucked her up in more than one way. Also increased her mental strengths at the same time.

I’m not saying she would’ve been immune to MK-Ultra. It’s just Marlene would’ve found her way back in a shorter amount of time compared to Bell. Adler would’ve realized that sooner or later- maybe once it was too late.

And why I think Marlene is dangerous was that she would’ve killed all of them at the moment she regained self-awareness and her memories before disappearing on the CIA. They are her enemies and provide no potential alliances to her, so they would’ve been no more than liabilities to her than she is to them.

Although she would’ve done something worst to Adler if she got the opportunity. There’s really no point of framing anyone once she was out of their control with bodies dropped. Marlene doesn’t have any reason to stay the enemy lines any longer. Those friendly feelings were artificial and she did not harboured any authentic friendliness from the very start.

She is a target either way and someone to toss in a cage. Besides, I need them canon characters to be alive for the sakes of my story.

There’s also some major character development I did with her, but I’m not here to discuss that right now. Just simply explaining why she’s not suited to be a Bell OC.

- ciao.

when you’ve been sick twice since Thursday… just simply manifest to become part of some origins of a resident evil plot. 🙏

not really hiatus and my cousin got me sick.

I love the feeling of watching 2000s horror films.

one of the things that gets me about adler and everyone's characterization of him (except felsecyan ofc), is that adler is everything the cia is.

he's ruthless, he's brutal, he goes far lengths to get what he wants, he's super anti-communist without ever understanding why, he's the true definition of evil.

but everyone (again, felsecyan excluded) sees him as a hot dude who's broken inside and needs someone to fix him :(

no joke, that is exactly how the cia has tricked everyone and it's SO GOOD. it's so good because it's so funny.

the cia has cemented itself as a "hot" and "unattainable" thing that is so mysterious and full of intrigue, thanks to the incredible amount of propaganda that is currently at work. everyone who criticizes the cia is seen as a conspiracy theorist. you bring up mkultra, and even to this day, after the confirmation of mkultra, people will STILL look at you like you're crazy.

the same thing is happening with adler and it's so funny.

you guys are busy making blendr renders of him carrying a baby and standing next to his "badass" wife. all the while ignoring the evil he did. you guys ship him with bell because it's "hot", all the while conveniently ignoring that adler is bell's abuser.

anyone who points this out gets labeled as a hater.

it's funny

Sorry for the hiatus, or inactivity, whatever it’s referred as. Dealing with irl stuff and a job. However, I’m still writing in my scraps of free time. Trying to do better here. And I apologize for the lack of reblogs, never my intention to lower someone’s spirit, but you try looking after six kids who aren’t yours and a spectacular coworker asking you to take their shifts with the holidays are coming up, so… enjoy the sweater weather while you still can! 🙂‍↔️
