Deux's Views: Ada and me...a love story

A few of our readers were wondering when Deux’s Views would make a return, as was I. Well, Deux was surprised to find out that people actually liked his articles, so now he’s back to work! Deux’s Views are meant to be a tongue-in-cheek look at anything in the world of gaming. Perfect fodder for the weekend. Today he delves into a “healthy” obsession with one Ada Wong.

Don’t get me wrong. I have a girlfriend and I’m crazy about her. We live together. She’s fun, beautiful, smart, and loving. She works extremely hard. She is an amazing cook. She speaks French which is so hot! Plus, there are some more perks about her which is inappropriate to share in this forum. So why can’t I get the woman in red out of my brain!!??

Ada Wong. The woman who follows my movements and saved my butt frequently. The woman who tossed me a rocket launcher twice. The woman who double crossed me twice. The woman who never listened to a warning I gave, who never opens up except when it seems too late. The woman whom I thought was dead….

Okay, okay. A little over the top you say? You’re not really Leon S. Kennedy you say? You’re right. HE IS NOTHING WITHOUT ME! And Ada is mine I tell you! I deserve her love! So why must I fall victim to her secret plans all the time?

Let’s start from Resident Evil 2. The beginning of Ada as I know her. She and I met in Raccoon City under unthinkably terrifying circumstances and we managed to make our way through some rough, rough stuff. To tell you the truth I didn’t think much of her then. She was very cold and the Playstation graphics weren’t enough to get me… well, a good idea of her beauty. But, by the end of all things I must say I shed a tear for her as I looked into her eyes unable to pull her back up. She fell…

Then I fought a big monster and her silhouette (accompanied by her voice) tossed me a rocket launcher like a warm sunbeam bestowed from heaven upon my smiling face. It was over. Was it all a dream? Just an after shock memory of her? Did I have more feelings for this mystery woman than my hardened emotions had let on? No time to wonder then… I had a train to catch.

Flash forward to Resident Evil 4. I had moved on and found myself in another sticky situation. Only this time I was without a friend in some remote part of rural Europe. One thing leads to another and I am fighting of cultists or whatever they were never thinking that this incident could be linked to my unlucky first day on the job back in Raccoon City.

During my misadventure I come across the lady in red. No, no not the lady that Chris De Burgh sings about on the Working Girl Soundtrack. I mean the real deal. Ada Wong back from the dead… and more beautiful than ever. What had happened all those years ago? How had she survived that fall? And just what the hell was she doing here of all places?

As my mission progressed we met many more times. Each sexier than the last and I found that now Ada had learned some amazing secret agent combat moves! Who was this mysterious chick!!?? It is safe to say that I was still in love. More than ever.

She would flirt with me then leave with her patented quote “See you around.” It got me every time. Why did I think it was about me and not her mission for Wesker? Did she really harbor no feelings for me? No. Of course she did… right?

She saved me from Krauser. I saved her from Sadler. She tossed me a rocket launcher and I knew that it was no coincidence. She loved me. She needed me as much as I longed for her. It was surely true love!!

…And as I picked up the virus sample, I heard the ‘click’ of her pistol from behind me and my heart sunk. My dream woman had been using me from the beginning. I reluctantly handed the sample over. “Ada, you DO know what this is…” I asked. She shrugged and smiled at me. Some more amazing and quite attractive gymnastics later she was on a helicopter tossing something to me with a yell, “Catch!”

I looked in my hands to find a snowmobile key with a teddy bear keychain. “Cute.” was all I could manage as the helicopter sailed away leaving me with a last image of my gorgeous betrayer’s coy smile and a wave. Was that smile meant for me? Or for her completed mission? Man I am a sap. How could I have fallen for the same girl twice? I know how….
Give it up? Why would you say that dear reader? Because it is obvious that she was only keeping me alive for her own purposes? You weren’t there! I saw how she looked at me. She didn’t have to give me the snowmobile keys you know! I bet she is thinking about how to make it all up to me now right? Right?

Am I crazy? Was I the only one to fall hard twice for a woman who didn’t feel the same? I’ve played many videogames my friends. Yes, I may take some plotlines a little too seriously and I know that it’s pathetic to truly fall for a fictional polygon, but you must forgive my feelings. I cannot help it. The only other women to come close for me are Tifa and Aeris, but that’s another story for another lonely night and another glass of Jameson. Ada is the one for me and it may be because I can’t have her. But who knows. There may be another sequel. They can’t leave our storyline like that! No, certainly not! And when they do, I’ll be right there to be used yet again… and I will be used happily.

Even now, after all this time, there is only one thing I truly regret: Not taking Ashley up on her offer of going back to her place to do some “overtime”.
