so this is an AU where Piers survives and becomes captain of alpha team. wesker may or may not be alive as well. this may not get updated much because it is a story i do out of boredom. this is my first fanfiction and self-insert so please be nice. currently, i have no one to proofread and edit so please don't go grammar nazi on me. thank you and ON WITH THE STORY!

A girl with silver hair and blue eyes (A/N: my hair isn't really silver. it will be explained later)walked into the tent as alpha team captain Piers Nivans was given his briefing by Dave Trevor.

"Ayla." Dave called. "you're just in time." he turns to Piers. "captain, this is Ayla. She'll be your partner for this mission." Piers looked at her, she was dressed simply in a black tank-top, jeans, and snow boots with a purple scarf around her neck and a purple bandana on her head.(A/N: this is a normal outfit for me)

"Hello." Ayla said as she reached for a handshake. "It's nice to finally meet you." Piers shook her hand.

"It's nice to meet you to."he turned to Dave and continued the briefing. "Todays mission is simple: go meet out contact and bring them back the base." Piers turned to Ayla.

"seems simple enough." Ayla nodded.

"yeah." she chuckled. "when was the last time we had a 'simple' mission?"

~~~~~~~~timeskip: at the meeting location~~~~~~~~

The room was nothing special. A small, dirty room. It had two doors. a single lamp swung overhead. The room was bare of any furniture. Ayla liked it that way. less stuff to run into during a fight.

Currently, Ayla was leaning against a wall as they waited for the contact. she looked down at her pocket knife, then back up at Piers. She noticed he was staring into space.

"what are you thinking about?" she asked.

"nothing really." was the response. suddenly, a swarm of j'avo came rushing into the room, guns blazing. the duo had just enough time to jump to cover before they were fired upon. Ayla and Piers returned fire, rifle and shotgun blasting j'avo into bits. when the dust settled, Piers noticed Ayla's bandana had slipped towards the back of her head to reveal two fuzzy, silver and black, cat-like ears.

"Um Ayla?" he started.

"Yes?" she replied, dusting off her jeans. Piers pointed to her head.

"what are those?" he asked. Ayla patted the top of her head and noticed her bandana had slipped. She sighed, knowing she was caught.

"Short or long version?" she asked.

"we've got time." Piers replied. She motioned for him to sit.

"well," she started, "when i was 13, I was kidnapped and used as an umbrella experiment. They wanted to see if they could combine human and animal DNA. as far as i know, of the 10 of us used, only 3 survived. myself, and my new friends, Nate and Oceanna." she smiled fondly at the memory. "i am a snow tiger, nate is a black panther, and Oshi (A/N: nate and Oceanna are my real friends and i call Oceanna Oshi) is a gray wolf. two years after my capture, with the help of my new friends, we escaped the lab. only for the Raccoon City incident to happen a few months later." Piers started.

"and your friends?" he asked. "did they survive?" Ayla nodded enthusiastically.

"hell yeah they did!" she laughed. "the three of us are like cockroaches, hard to kill, and pests to umbrella." she chuckled as she remembered how much grief they gave umbrella. "when this mission is over, I'll give them a call and you can meet them." suddenly, Ayla's ears twitched.

"We've got company." she said as she put her bandana back on properly. A man in a tan trench coat and black hair ran into the room, panting.

"Were you followed?" Ayla asked. A few j'avo ran in after the man but were quickly killed by Ayla's shotgun. the man turns to the duo.

"may I ask your names?" he asked.

"White tiger." Ayla replied, using her code name so the contact would know its them.

"Green sniper." Piers said. "and who are you?'

"I am the Messenger." the man explained. Ayla nodded.

"follow us." she said as she walked out of the room. the walked back down the hall they came from as they headed to the extraction point. Piers noticed Ayla was staring into space.

"and what are you thinking about?" he teased. Ayla chuckled. (A/N:i noticed i tend to chuckle more than laugh)

"just about my friends and the trouble we would get into."

"they sound like nice people." the messenger said.

"they're good friends. we're all there for each other." Ayla smiled. "i haven't seen them in a while so this'll be fun." they reached the extraction point. Piers reported where they were and asked for the helicopters ETA. The helicopter was set to arrive in 5 minutes. Ayla hopped into a tree to wait. The messenger turned to Piers.

"What's her story?" he asked.

"what do you mean?" Piers replied.

"White tiger." the messenger said. "why is she fighting bioterrorism? was she affected, a loved one, a friend?"

"if you want to know," Piers started "you'll have to ask her yourself." Ayla sneezed.

"who's talking about me?" she asked.

"we were." Pies replied. Ayla hopped out of the tree and stood next to them.

"what are you talking about?" she asked.

"he wanted to know why you are fighting bioterrorism."

"ah." Ayla turned to the messenger. "why didnt you ask me?"

"i didn't want to seem rude" he replied.

"so asking someone else isn't rude?" Ayla stopped and looked at the sky. "choppers here." the messenger looked but didn't see anything.

"what do you mean? i don't see-" at that moment, the helicopter came into view. Ayla threw him a 'and you doubted me' look and went to greet the pilot. Piers looked at the messenger, shrugged, and followed ayla. when all three were on, the helicopter went back to camp.

"mission accomplished!" piers said to Ayla

"yeah." she mumbled. "mission accomplished."

yay! chapter 1 is done. And its over 1,000 words. :) Nate and Oceanna will make appearances in the next chapter. Of you were wondering what the short version was, it'd be "umbrella experiment when I was younger." for those of you who didn't catch what Ayla's last line was, she feels as though something is wrong, but she's not sure what yet. honestly, even i'm not entirely sure what it is yet. like i said, i have no one to proofread this yet and this is my first fanfiction so please be gentle with me. thanks. :)
