What is Happening to Me (Part 14)

Leon x F!Reader

Words: 1,705 Contains: Death, Whump, Pain, Leon freaking out.

Part 1 | Previous | Next

You take the lead, you gun held close to your chest, the barrel angled up while you stand side against the wall to the entrance of the building. Extending your arms in front of you as you round the corner quickly, you stare into the lobby of some hotel or office building. Scanning around you have to pull a torch from your side and shine it throughout the building. 

"Stay alert, any sound could be our suspect." Leon whispers to you, standing side by side so he had your back and you had his.

"Copy." You respond as you motion with your hand to continue forwards. Walking towards the stairs leading up to a second level, the baluster was frosted glass, topped with a wooden handrailing. Though the glass hadn't faired too well, a body half hanging through one of the panels of glass. The white frosted glass splattered with crimson. You turn up your nose at the stench of death all around you, though it was starting to become a normal smell for you. Making your way through a hallway to the elevators you see one of them moving up, stopping on the 4th level of 7.

"Let's head up the stairs so he doesn't see the elevator coming." Leon suggests moving to open the door. As he swings it open shots were fired, Leon ducking out of the way, his right arm being grazed with one of the bullets. Leon lets out a hiss of pain, standing behind the open door. You wait for the gun fire to cease, hearing the magazine being clicked out of the gun you step in the doorway, gun extended, this was the guy. You shoot his right thigh and rush in to kick him in the chest, sending him into the wall. walking over to him you kick his gun away and kneel over him, pressing your left forearm against his throat, your handgun held to his cheek.

"Why are you spreading the virus?!" Your tone was angry, Leon walking up behind you holding his right bicep, blood dripped down his arm and off his fingers to the ground.

"Hehe.. to create a distraction.." The man hissed out in a chuckle.

"What?" You were confused, what did he mean by- You suddenly feel a sharp pinch in your side, pulling away from him he was holding an empty syringe, the Umbrella logo on the side of it.

Leon's eyes widen as you hold your side and fall to the ground. He kicks the syringe away, it smashing on the wall aiming his gun at the man's head. "What the fuck did you just inject her with!!!??"

"An experiment." Was all he said as he started to foam at the mouth, gasping for air he chokes on foam and spit.

"Shit!" Leon notes the name on the man's lab coat. He then kneels down by your side, blood covered and non-blood covered hands cup your face. Turning your face towards him you were starting straight through him, your body shivering at random intervals. "(Y/N)!! Stay with me! I'll get you some help!"

He presses his earpiece, causing it to ring as he scoops you into his arms. Taking you to the elevators he lays you down on the ground gently.

"Leon? What's going on? You've been radio silent for-"

"(Y/N)'s been injected with something! The guy said it was an experiment, his lab coat said O. L. Albrecht. I need to know if there is any information on a new strain of the t-virus, or g-virus. Anything!" His voice was panicked as he sprints down the stairs to the information board he had seen. He desperately looks for a lab. 5th Floor!

"I can't find anything on a new strain of virus or parasite. Whatever she was injected with must be new. Our intel has nothing on Umbrellas experiments." Hunnigan also sounded panicked.

Leon runs back up the stairs scooping you into his arms once again as he waits for an elevator door to open. Stepping inside he takes you both to the 5th floor. It was a series of lab rooms, one of them housing many serums and tubes of floating parasite-looking creatures.

He places you down on a metal table at one side of a room with a computer and many different equipment's that seem to house syringes.

"Leon, what's happening?" Hunnigan asks still on the line. She could hear your gasps and groans as you shiver in the background of Leon's earpiece. 

"I'm searching through the data base to see what this could be and if they've made a cure for it." He said searching through data banks and files. He had no clue what he was doing or looking for, but he had a small idea. Which was enough for him to try.

"Le-on..." You rasp out, head turning towards him, your left arm slipping from your stomach to hang off the edge of the metal table he had placed you on.

"I'm here." He turns around seeing the pure fear in your eyes. "I'm not going to leave you." He turns back around to the screen and then flicks passed something that catches his eye. 

Pulling up the file once again he scans through the report. "This could be a virus they've called the P+T-Virus. Strains of the Tyrant virus have been injected into spawn of a parasite, but it doesn't say what parasite.. Damn it!" He says searching through more documents.

There was a loud thump behind Leon, causing him to turn around, you were on the ground, your skin covered in a red vein. Your normal eye colour had now changed to a dim colour. Yellow starting to show through your iris as they dulled.

He winced seeing your state and walks over, lifting your body up again, you didn't seem hostile, not yet. But he wasn't going to risk it. Strapping you down with the material built into the metal table, your waist, neck and hands restrained. Though he did make sure it wasn't tight enough to hurt or choke you. Looking down to you on the table, you were gasping, your body doing it's best to stay alive. Fighting internally as you stare at the ceiling, your body wriggling around.

"H...lp." You gurgle out before letting out pained screams. Your entire body felt like it was on fire. Gasping for air between shouts.

Leon walks back to the computers, he couldn't concentrate, this can't be happening! Not to you, not like this. 

"Leon, I found something on the guy. His name is Obert Lee Albrecht, working for the Umbrella Corp. after his laboratory was destroyed in Scotland a few years back. Hold on.." She says cutting off her own sentence.

"What?" Leon asked as he continued to search through the data files on any type of experimental antidote. Your screams and cries of pain made everything 10 times more stressful, his brain starting to shut down.

"He was part of the eradication of the Lab (Y/N) was sent to deal with 4 years ago. Seems like he ended up getting a job in Umbrella to create new dominant species of the Plaga." There was no response from Leon, only your pained sounds rang through Hunnigan's ear. "Leon?... Leon! Focus!"

Leon was currently leaning over the computer, your shouts tearing away at parts of his soul. Every gasp of air made his chest tight. Then suddenly you went silent. His heart dropped, turning to you with the speed of lightning he rushes over to your side. Taking your hand he searched your face, your eyes were closed, no shivering or muscle spasms. You were completely still. Apart from the rising and falling of your chest, your breath sounding like the death rattle as you inhale and exhale.

Running over to a glass screen on the wall he starts searching there, maybe because it was beside the vials and syringes it would have something. Searching he finds the file for the P+T-Virus and presses on the button reading "Exp. Suppressant". It was his best bet, if he could suppress this, maybe he could get you the help you needed back at the hospital.

A syringe moved from were it sat in it's sterile casing, filling with a purple liquid. It the is sent down a tube to be collected. Leon takes the Syringe and walks over to you, taking your hand once again he looks to your motionless figure, then the syringe in his right hand. Covered in his own blood he sticks it into your stomach and inject it.

There was nothing for a moment, then Leon could hear Hunnigan in his ear. "Leon! Answer me! Can you hear me?"

"Y... Yeah I can hear you."

"What's going on!? Talk to me!"

"I.. Injected her with an experimental suppressant.."

"You did WHAT?!"

Leon winced at her tone, the exact same words were in his own head, what was he thinking?! He had no clue what he was doing. But there was no going back. You were now injected with this purple serum, your left hand being held tight by Leon's as he waits for results. He watched the red veins across your skin starting to slowly vanish, this was a good sign. He stands over you, a hand coming to your shoulder giving you a slight shake.

"(Y/N)... Hey, wake up." He says gently. Hunnigan was also waiting for a response, sitting in her chair looking down at her desk.

Your eyes open, half lidded as they lazily look around. Your head turning to look up at Leon. "hey.." You say weakly.

"How do you feel?" Leon asks gently peeling hair off your sweaty face.

"As good as I can be.." You try to sit up. "Am I restrained?"

"Yeah, sorry I had to be sure you weren't going to bite or attack me." He explains as he starts to unbuckle the restrains around your neck.

"This type of thing should be kept private." You joke, this made Leon relax even more as you were cracking jokes. This meant you were indeed okay and he needed to get you out of here and to a hospital.

How Transparent Glass Railings Enhance Safety Without Compromising Style

When it comes to home and commercial design, transparent glass railings are a game-changer. These sleek, modern features bring a sense of elegance and openness to any space while providing the safety and security one expects from a railing. In this article, we’ll explore how transparent glass railings enhance safety without compromising style, and why they’re becoming a go-to choice for architects, homeowners, and developers alike.

1. Safety First: The Structural Integrity of Glass Railings

Contrary to common misconceptions, transparent glass railings are not just about aesthetics. They are engineered to meet stringent safety standards. High-quality tempered glass used in these railings is extremely durable and can withstand high impact, making it a reliable choice for balconies, staircases, and terraces. Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than regular glass and, if it breaks, it shatters into small, blunt pieces that reduce the risk of injury.

A reputable transparent glass railing company will ensure that their products are tested and certified to meet building codes, ensuring peace of mind for clients. Whether installed in homes, commercial spaces, or public venues, transparent glass railings provide a safe and secure barrier without blocking views or light.

2. Unobstructed Views: Enhancing Space with Transparency

One of the main attractions of transparent glass railings is their ability to create a sense of openness. Traditional railings made from metal or wood can obstruct views and make spaces feel confined. Glass railings, on the other hand, create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor areas, making spaces feel larger and more connected to nature.

For properties with scenic views—be it oceanfront homes, high-rise balconies, or garden patios—a transparent glass railing allows occupants to enjoy the scenery without obstruction. Many clients looking to create an open, luxurious atmosphere in their homes or businesses turn to their local transparent glass railing warehouse to find custom solutions for their projects.

3. Blending Style with Function: Customization Options

Transparent glass railings come in a variety of styles, making them highly customizable to fit any aesthetic. They can be framed, semi-frameless, or fully frameless depending on the desired look and safety requirements. The versatility of these railings means they can blend into minimalist, modern designs or complement more traditional architecture.

A trusted glass railing company offers various glass finishes, including frosted, tinted, and clear options, allowing clients to choose the level of privacy and design that suits their project. Additionally, glass railings can be paired with stainless steel or wooden handrails for an extra touch of sophistication.

4. Low Maintenance and Durability

Not only do transparent glass railings provide safety and style, but they are also surprisingly low maintenance. Glass is resistant to moisture, rust, and decay, making it an excellent choice for outdoor installations where metal or wood might deteriorate over time. Regular cleaning with a glass cleaner is often enough to keep the railings looking pristine.

A reputable transparent glass railing company will also offer high-quality fittings and materials that enhance the longevity of the installation. By investing in high-grade materials and professional installation, you ensure that your glass railings remain secure and stylish for years to come.

5. Ideal for Commercial and Residential Projects

Transparent glass railings are not limited to residential applications; they are also widely used in commercial spaces. Retail stores, office buildings, and hotels use these railings to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their spaces while maintaining safety standards. Glass railings are a popular choice in commercial settings because they align with modern architectural trends, creating a clean and inviting atmosphere.

For developers and contractors working on large-scale projects, sourcing from a transparent glass railing warehouse ensures they have access to bulk orders and custom solutions tailored to their needs.

6. Increased Property Value

Incorporating transparent glass railings into a property not only enhances its visual appeal but also increases its market value. Homebuyers and commercial property investors often look for spaces that feel open and modern, and glass railings tick both boxes. The sleek, contemporary look of transparent glass railings makes a lasting impression, boosting the property's overall aesthetic and financial value.

Conclusion

Transparent glass railings are the perfect blend of safety and style, making them an ideal choice for both residential and commercial projects. By working with a reputable glass railing company, clients can customize their railings to fit their aesthetic preferences while ensuring the highest safety standards. Whether you're looking for options at a transparent glass railing warehouse or seeking professional installation from a transparent glass railing company, investing in these railings will transform your space, making it safer, more modern, and more appealing.

Floating Elegance: The Latest Trends in Cantilevered Internal Balustrades

Cantilevered internal balustrades have become a symbol of modern elegance, offering a sleek, minimalist design that enhances the feeling of open space. These “floating” balustrades create a stunning visual impact by eliminating the need for traditional support structures, allowing the balustrade to seemingly hover in the air. In 2024, cantilevered balustrades are pushing the boundaries of design, incorporating cutting-edge materials, bold finishes, and innovative engineering. In this blog, we explore the latest trends in cantilevered internal balustrades and how they’re transforming contemporary interiors.

Glass and Transparency: A Light and Airy Look

One of the most prominent trends in cantilevered balustrade design is the use of glass. Frameless glass balustrades are particularly popular because they offer a completely unobstructed view and a seamless transition between different levels of a home. This transparency creates a sense of openness, making even the smallest spaces feel larger and more connected.

Tempered glass panels are often used for their strength and durability, providing safety without compromising aesthetics. Some designs incorporate frosted or tinted glass for added privacy, while still maintaining the sleek, modern look that floating balustrades are known for. LED lighting can also be integrated along the edges of the glass, adding a touch of sophistication and ensuring the balustrade remains a focal point even at night.

Minimalist Metal Structures

While glass dominates the world of cantilevered balustrades, minimalist metal designs are also on the rise. Metals like stainless steel, aluminum, and brushed nickel are increasingly being used in combination with glass or wood, creating a striking contrast that blends industrial chic with modern minimalism. The slim profiles of metal supports allow the balustrade to maintain its floating illusion while adding strength and durability.

One of the most exciting developments in this trend is the use of laser-cut metal balusters with intricate, geometric designs. These artistic panels can replace traditional balusters, turning the balustrade into a functional work of art. With metallic finishes like matte black, brushed brass, or copper, these balustrades add a bold statement to contemporary homes.

Wood and Natural Materials for Warmth

In 2024, the integration of natural materials like wood is becoming a key trend in cantilevered balustrade design. While glass and metal offer a modern, minimalist appeal, wood adds warmth and texture, softening the overall look of the space. Wood handrails, for example, provide a tactile, organic contrast to sleek glass or metal components.

Sustainably sourced wood, such as oak, walnut, or bamboo, is a popular choice for homeowners looking to embrace eco-friendly design while maintaining a luxurious aesthetic. Combining cantilevered glass balustrades with wooden elements creates a balanced blend of natural and modern materials, bringing a sense of harmony to the space.

Floating Stairs and Balustrades: A Seamless Pairing

Another exciting trend in cantilevered design is the pairing of floating stairs with cantilevered balustrades. Floating staircases, where each step is anchored to the wall without visible support, naturally complement cantilevered balustrades. Together, they create the illusion of weightlessness, enhancing the minimalist aesthetic.

This combination is particularly popular in open-concept spaces, where the absence of heavy, visible structures enhances the flow of light and movement throughout the home. Floating stairs with glass or metal balustrades can make a dramatic statement, acting as both a functional and artistic centerpiece in the room.

Customization and Personalization

As with many aspects of interior design, personalization is a growing trend in cantilevered balustrades. Homeowners are increasingly seeking unique, customized designs that reflect their personal style. From bespoke metalwork to hand-carved wooden rails, the possibilities for customization are endless.

Incorporating patterns, etchings, or unique finishes into the balustrade design allows for a truly one-of-a-kind look. Whether it’s a subtle texture on glass panels or a striking, sculptural handrail, customization is an opportunity to turn the balustrade into a true focal point, elevating the overall aesthetic of the home.

Conclusion

Cantilevered internal balustrades are the epitome of modern elegance, combining cutting-edge engineering with stylish design. The latest trends in floating balustrades for 2024 emphasize transparency, minimalism, and the integration of natural materials. Whether you opt for frameless glass, minimalist metal structures, or the warmth of wood, cantilevered balustrades can transform any space into a light, airy, and sophisticated environment.

As customization becomes more prevalent, homeowners have the opportunity to make their cantilevered balustrades uniquely their own, turning these functional elements into breathtaking works of art. Whether you're designing a new home or renovating your current space, cantilevered balustrades offer an exciting way to bring elegance and innovation into your interior.

Innovative Materials and Unique Design Elements in Contemporary Staircases

Staircases serve as a functional element in buildings, but they can also add aesthetic appeal to the overall design. In contemporary architecture, innovative materials and unique design elements are being used to create stunning and functional staircases that are both practical and visually appealing.

One of the most popular innovative materials used in contemporary staircases is glass. Glass stair treads and railings add a modern and sleek look to any staircase design, while also allowing natural light to flow through the space. Tempered glass is used for safety and durability, while etched or frosted glass provides privacy while still allowing light to pass through.

Another innovative material used in contemporary staircase design is metal. Steel and aluminum are popular choices, as they provide a strong and durable structure while also being lightweight. Metal staircases can be designed in a variety of styles, from sleek and modern to ornate and decorative. Some designers are also incorporating metal accents, such as stainless steel handrails or metal decorative elements, to add visual interest to their designs.

Another trend in contemporary staircase design is the use of unique design elements. For example, spiraling staircases add a dramatic touch to any design and can make a statement in any space. Open staircases, with their lack of walls or railings, create an airy and spacious feel, while floating staircases appear to defy gravity and add a sense of lightness to the design.

Incorporating natural elements into staircase design is also becoming increasingly popular. Wood is a common choice for stair treads, and can be finished in a variety of ways to create different looks. Stone is another option, with marble and granite being popular choices for their durability and natural beauty. Bamboo and other sustainable materials are also being used in staircase design, creating an eco-friendly and modern look.

In conclusion, contemporary staircase design is incorporating innovative materials and unique design elements to create stunning and functional spaces. From glass treads and metal accents, to spiraling designs and natural elements, the options for contemporary staircase design are virtually limitless. These design elements add visual appeal and practicality to any space, making the staircase a functional and beautiful part of any building design.

Celia’s charming 1930s villa in Sweden was her childhood home.  With a large portion of love, recycled furnishings and careful choice of materials, she and her partner Johan have left their own mark on the beautiful 1930s villa.

Beautiful cut bouquets are important elements in her interior. The green marble tables tie in with the wall color.

Lovely muted green contrasts with the rose-color sofas.

The 2 armchairs were found at a flea market.  The poster "It will be good again" was designed by Cecilia when covid-19 struck.

The display cabinets were rebuilt and now run all the way down to the worktop.

Storage is a must in the kitchen including a shelf for wine.

The wooden owl was made by a local carpenter and symbolizes the house's property designation "Pearl owl.” The street sign "Femte Villagatan" has been hanging around since Cecilia's childhood.

The large display cabinet in the dining room was bought 6 mos. before they moved into the house.

The wall on the stairs was previously unpainted, but in connection with the choosing to keep the runner, they also painted the wall blue to emphasize the stairs and the leather-wrapped handrail.

The hall upstairs serves as an office. The armchair is heirloom and the desk and chair are flea market finds.

The on-site wardrobes in the hall were made by Cecilia's parents.

The couple's bedroom is painted a dusty blue color. The cabinet was found online and was originally white with a frosted glass door.

In the playroom is Cecilia's absolute favorite wallpaper,

Their son has Celia’s old room. She designed the custom-made bed.

The bathroom is stylish, with a marble top and wooden chest of drawers.

written for @drarrymicrofic prompt: dust/ash | cw: grief

A film of dust and ash coated the floor, the walls, what was left of the furniture.

Harry felt numb, looking at the remains of his parents’ lives. It’s been years since he last set foot on the threshold of the Potter’s cottage in Godric’s Hollow, on Christmas Eve 1997.

Now he stood in front of the stairs. The handrail was gone and a few steps were missing. In his conscious mind he knew, it was still steady enough to hold his weight. Still he held his breath when he took the first step.

It took an eternity to climb to the first floor. The destruction here was even worse. Beams were halfway broken out of the ceiling and had fallen to the floor. Some floorboards were broken through, leaving a black hole.

The nursery was worst of all. The crib was still standing, but it looked as if it would fall to dust if you so much as looked at it. The carpet that used to be soft and fluffy was blackened. A big piece of it was burned right in front of the crib. The window was blown, a few sharp pieces of glass framing the grey sky outside.

Harry took a deep breath and entered the room that used to be his. There was a basket filled to the brim with neglected toys and stuffed animals right next to the door, small enough that a toddler could grab whatever his heart desired. He picked up a stuffed rat. Underneath was a worn through black dog and a wolf.

His vision was already blurring as his eyes landed on the framed pictures on a chest of drawers.

A young Sirius held him, smiling fondly at the bundle that couldn’t be older than three months. Remus with less scars read to him although he was barely old enough to hold his own head. In the middle of it all were him with his parents, beaming at each other. There was a cake in front of him, with chocolate frosting and one little candle on top of it.  

The picture in hand he sank to the dusty floor, letting the sobs break out of his chest and the tears run freely down his cheeks.

Hours later Draco finds him like this. The sun behind the clouds has long set and darkness seeps through every pore of him.

Draco calls out for him once, then he follows the footsteps in the dust. He looks at his boyfriend, sees the dried tracks of tears in the dirt on his face and sits down beside him. A gentle arm around his shoulders tells him more than any words ever could, that he is safe, that he is loved.

Her father wove tales of Garlemald in between mouthfuls of smoke. A consummate traveler, Ferris Whittemore had tales that spanned from Old Sharlayan to the forbidding Drown, from the Glass Sea to the beautiful chaos of Radz-at-Han. Having left Landis at the ripe age of sixteen, carrying little more than a feud with his elder brother on his shoulders, the thirty long years before settling in Gridania upon meeting Bianca's mother were filled with fodder for stories.

But until her pathetic, broken body had been scooped up by Hydaelyn and given her gifts, Bianca had never seen anything beyond the rich bowers and occasionally treacherous forests of the Shroud.

Words could only conjure images in her mind's eye.

Seeing Garlemald was different. Awe-inspiring bordering upon unsettling – and different.

Under the thick blanket of night, it looked to be as much a maze as a capital city, lined in precise streets with corners as sharp as the obsidian spires that rose above the layered, metal buildings. Streetlights glimmered over their surfaces like stars over water, like sunlight over the carapace of a beetle. From above, the vehicles moved up and down those streets, minuscule from the air but no doubt gargantuan compared to the mares and ponies she was more accustomed to.

“Does no one rest?” Bianca asked.

Not expecting an answer, she was not surprised when one wasn't given. Garlean soldiers stood in uniform lines on the deck of the airship, armored and behelmeted to keep out the cold... and the conversation. The Warrior of Light –

Blinking against a pointed whip of cold air, Bianca gave her head a shake. She was no longer the Warrior of Light. She bequeathed that title to Halvar back in Mor Dhona in the weeks of preparation before making a move against the Griffin, against Ilberd and his damned Eyes of Nidhogg and his stolen armies and his god. She dropped the mantle from her shoulders only to take up another.

Even with Garlemald's eyes turned towards Eorzea, there was a chance that someone might be able to reach into that turmoil and return with a handful of peace.

But she was not the Warrior of Light. She was an Eorzean diplomat on an airship headed to a port beside the Imperial palace, someone deemed heroic and influential enough to turn the tide of war. It was a lie, of course, an extravagant one orchestrated by many over the last decade, but everyone believed in those expectations. They believed she stood apart, despite the blood on her hands and the dead in her head.

Bianca Whittemore. White Mage. Survivor of the Calamity. Chosen of Hydaelyn.

Warrior of Light.

And now, the last straw.

Her gloved fingers curled around the frosted handrail beneath her palms, tight enough to cause a ripple of pain into her wrists. Never before – not when standing on the field at Carteneau, or stepping through the Gates of Judgment to Ishgard – had she felt so impossibly small.

And never had the world before her felt so frighteningly endless.
