Chapter One: Welcome Home
Ada was sat in the living room of her now somewhat empty apartment, she was watching a rubbish horror movie and painting her nails a deep scarlet colour.
'I'd kill for a pizza' Said a voice from behind her, she jumped with shock and dropped the nail varnish, it slowly spread over the wooden floor. Ada looked up to see a woman standing in the room. It looked like Lilia, but that was impossible, it had been almost three months since she'd died in Marstonville.
'It is me' Said Lilia 'Thought i'd suprise you by sneaking in if thats ok' She grinned and stepped more into the light, her hair was longer and she looked almost older, but it was definatley her.
'You scared the life out of me' Said Ada swallowing her 'How do I know its not some sick trick of Genevieve's?' Lilia let out a wide grin and put her hands on her hips.
'Erm, you made out with Leon at the Christmas party and later told him you didn't remember it even though you did' Lilia said grinning, Ada smiled and rushed over to her giving her a huge hug. Lilia hugged her back tightly and she was overwhelmed with happiness.
'How are you even still alive?' Ada asked 'I've missed you, we've missed you, we need you more than ever, things are so rough, Genevieve has upped her attack...we haven't had much action lately...we have no leads or anything...'
'Well, I think I died...I woke up, clawed my way out and here I am' Lilia frowned 'Didnt realise it had been so long, I walked here...didnt have any money or anything'
'You walked here?' Asked Ada shocked, 'Your crazy'
'Somethings never change'
3 weeks later
Lilia sighed and flopped back onto the sofa. It had been another hard day at AUCOS filling in paperwork and trying to find something out about Genevieve's business. But she'd had no luck, their security was upped and they really didn't have any leads whatsoever. She'd heard nothing from Wesker, the story went that he was currently researching the las plagas virus in the depths of his mansion home. She doubted he even knew if she was alive. Everyone had been so happy to see her and she was glad to be back, but she was restless, there wasn't anything to do except from fill in paperwork.
'At least I have pizza' She said outloud, she'd ordered some pizza and it was due any minute. Ada was out and about doing something important for AUCOS, whilst she was stuck at home. Every since shed been missing in action and came back, people had been treating her like a china doll rather than the superhuman she was. She felt so alive. She was about to switch on the TV when the doorbell rang.
'Commming' She trilled skipping to the door money in her hand, she opened the door and received a sharp punch to the face.
'OUCH' she shouted grabbing her face, infront of her was stood Jack Krauser, Ada had last seen him after the Las Plagas incident, he'd been presumed dead.
'Who the hell sent you?' Said Lilia as she backed away from him.
'Guess' Jack said 'Begins with a G'
'Your working for her?' asked Lilia disbelievingly. 'And what the hell are you doing here at my apartment?'
'I've been sent to kill you' Jack said simply, '
'Wow she really doesn't beat around the bush' Said Lilia staring into Jacks cold eyes, his face was scarred and grotesque, his expression menacing. He leapt at her and grabbed her by the throat, she grabbed his arm and snapped it back, another punch conncected with her face and she kneed him in the groin, he let go of her and swore.
'Bitch' He spat 'I'll get you for that'
'Oh shut the hell up' Said Lilia, she grabbed him by the arm and swung him towards the window, she let go and he went flying through the glass.
'Yeah and Im on the twelfth floor' She shouted after him 'Next time don't come uninvited' She found herself giggling. That had been almost too easy, but she was glad for the action, she rubbed her face. She wasn't so glad for the bruise she'd get. He had been strong and packed a painful punch. But for a man who was almost genetically altered as her, he'd been easy to defeat. She was surprised Genevieve had stooped so low, obviously her longing to kill Lilia had taken over common sense. Lilia was just about to sit down to ring Ada on her mobile and tell her what had happened when the doorbell rang. She got up, there was a new improved air conditioning system in the apartment thought Lilia, she was hoping the police wouldn't come round and ask what was going on, if they did AUCOS would bail her out, they usually did.
'Helloo' she said opening the door. This time it was actually the pizza man, she took the pizza and gave him the money.
'Have a nice day ma'am' He said shakily eyeing her bruised face and the smashed window warily.
'Erm, excuse that' Said Lilia 'Slight accident with a tennis ball.' The pizza guy frowned disbelievingly and swept a hand through his brown hair,
'Right' He said before backing away slowly, Lilia shut the door and rolled her eyes, she set the pizza down on the table and pulled out her mobile phone.
'Leon theres been a problem' She said chewing her lip nervously 'I got attacked...broke a window...could you sort it out?' She could hear police sirens in the distance 'You'll be down right away...great' She put down the phone and picked up the pizza. It finally looked like things were getting more interesting.
Lilia was down at AUCOS headquarters, after explaining to the police that they were a government agency and that all was under control, Leon had arranged to have the window fixed.
'You know Lilia, next time you could be a little more careful where you throw people' Sighed Leon, he was looking tired and haggard. They had no leads, the Lab in England all those months ago had been their last lab raid and there had been no leads or information gained from that. There was pressure from the government to do something about the threat but with no evidence they had no chance of shutting Genevieve and Terrence's billion dollar company down.
'However, interesting news' He continued 'Theres a lab, under the refuse site downtown, Chris discovered it in some plans we managed to salvage from an old mission, we think its abandoned but were sending you and Ada down there to have a look'
'Oh fun' Said Lilia gleefully 'Im so sick of paperwork!'
'I know Lilia' Said Leon 'Just read the case file' He handed a brown folder. 'You head out tomorrow evening'
'Oh good means I've got tonight off' Said Lilia grinning.
'Where you going?' Asked Leon.
'Well remember Lucian who we rescued from Marstonville?' Asked Lilia
'Yeah he works for us now' Said Leon
'Well I bumped into him like yesterday and he asked me on a date to say thank you and I said yes' Lilia said 'I've been back what like a few weeks and I've got a date, good times!'
'Have fun' Said Leon sighing 'And good luck with the mission.'
'Thank you!' Said Lilia giving a small wave.
Leon was sat at his desk going through the plans for Ada and Lilia's mission. He hated putting Ada at risk, but as there love life wasn't exactly blooming as it was, telling her he didn't want her to go on dangerous mission seemed like the wrong thing to do.
'Good evening Mr Kennedy' Said a smooth voice, Leon almost snapped his pencil in his half at the voice.
'Wesker, what are you doing here?' Leon asked looking up at him, Wesker was dressed in a red shirt and black jacket, his hair was swept back with gel and his trademark sunglasses rested on his nose. Leon hadn't heard from Wesker since.
'I came to see how my favourite organisation was doing' Wesker said smiling.
'I should have you arrested right here and now' Snapped Leon 'Your still working with Genevieve...'
'Hmm that would be a little difficult as you can't actually prove her guilty of anything' Wesker laughed.
'Why are you here?' Asked Leon tiredly. 'I've had enough of this'
'I'm here to ask about Lilia' Said Wesker quietly 'Is she ok' He took a seat at Leon's desk and poured himself a glass of water before taking a deep sip. 'Im surprised she's still alive'
'Me Too' Said Leon 'Shes fine, if you want to talk to her, ring her, but not tonight because shes on a date' Leon jumped as the glass in Wesker's hand shattered to pieces, Wesker winced.
'Sorry' he said 'My mistake...I don't know my own strength' Wesker got to his feet, his hand bleeding, 'I'll ring her tomorrow, she may need my help'
'I doubt it' Said Leon turning his attention back to his papers. 'Try not to bleed all over my office.'
