Leon Kennedy and Barry Burton stayed in vigilant watch. They protected this small neighborhood well from shady people. This sunny suburban town was out of Alex's element. He was more used to the urban streets of Manhattan. 'Looks like a normal town to me, hopefully this goes alright.' Alex hoped.
"Look at this guy. Wearing a leather jacket with a hoodie with a dress shirt under that. It's short sleeve weather, this guy deserves to get hit by a bus." Leon said staring at the man in question with binoculars.
"He looks like one of the drug dealers the R.P.D used to deal with." Barry commented. Leon and Barry weren't really ripping on Alex. They were just having harmless fun at Alex's expense. Technically that still was ripping on Alex but to them it was just jokes.
"What kind of drugs do you figure he'd sell?" Leon questioned turning to face Barry with a smile on his face.
"Probably LSD and heroin. The hardcore stuff." Barry joked.
"Oh shit! He's heading for Claire's house!" Leon stated pulling out his sidearm. Barry did the same moments after. Leon's relationship with Claire was strictly platonic, not even platonic more friend focused.
Alex walked up the steps. Removing one of his hands from his hoodie he knocked on the door. Leon's eyes squinted to get a better view while he held his gun. Any minute now he would have a split second to fire his gun to make a kill shot if Alex posed a threat. Little did Leon know was that his bullets would prove to be useless if he dared to shoot Alex who heard Claire coming.
Claire's brow furrowed. Leon and Barry weren't done with their neighborhood watch yet. And Chris was busy fighting some fight against B.O.W's while Jill was busy doing the same somewhere else. She had absolutely no idea who it was.
'This better not be Wesker. I told him that I didn't want to ever see him again after what he pulled with Chris at that one time.' Claire thought eliminating that possibility out of her head. Getting over to the door she looked through the door viewer (hole with glass that allows people to see through the other side). There was no one.
"He's hiding from the viewer, I got a clear shot on this guy." Barry said aiming down the sights.
Claire frowned profusely she returned to the couch and sat until she heard a knock. 'Who the fuck? Ding dong ditchers maybe?' Claire thought. Opening the door with a frown still on her face she looked to the left of her porch and then to the right seeing Alex. Claire's whole face lit up brighter than the sun.
"Well what'd you know Claire knows him." Barry said relieved. Leon however still didn't approve.
"I told her not to date guys through tinder. She's too stubborn for her own good." Leon complained.
Claire let Alex inside the two of them sat on the couch where Alex placed his shoulder over her.
"I told you I'd come for you." Alex said holding Claire tight but not too tight.
"I was starting to think that you'd never come. I've missed you so much Alex." Claire admitted.
"I've missed you too. I just had a lot of business to take care. New York can be a hand full sometimes." Alex stated. Leon and Barry put away their guns.
"Speaking about relationships how's Ada doing?" Barry cautiously ventured. Leon was silent for a second.
"She's doing fine, I see her rarely of course. But the times I do see her it's worth it. I don't know how else to put it." Leon explained. Barry's watch started to beep signaling that it was time to wrap things up.
"Don't stir up the pot Leon. Let things be, for now at least." Barry said with his hand on Leon's shoulder.
"… Yeah." Leon said staring off into the space that was Claire's house.
"We should throw a party." Claire suggested.
"What's the occasion?" Alex questioned.
"You. Usually my brother and Jill don't show up to my parties unless it's something serious. And you're a pretty big deal, to me at least." Claire expressed.
"Never knew you had a brother. Who's Jill?" Alex was not in the loop at all.
"Let me tell you a story, a few actually." Claire said with an enthusiastic tone.
After a considerable amount of time Claire was done telling her stories for the most part Alex was captivated.
"That Leon guy is a real cuckold. And this Wesker prick sounds like a real pain in the ass to you and your brother. The next time he tries anything call me, I'll teach him a lesson." Alex stated.
"That makes me curious Alex. What kind of lesson hmm?" Claire teased.
"How it feels to have his spine ripped out…" Alex responded.
Leon didn't feel like intruding on Claire's free will but her brother had once told him not to let Claire date guys through tinder. How did Leon conclude that Alex was a guy through tinder? He never saw Alex in the neighborhood until now. Whipping out his phone he texted Chris.
"Chris. We have a dilemma…" Leon typed.
"Leon I'm in the middle of something." Chris Redfield chatted back after some time.
"It's pretty important Redfield." Leon returned. Chris was being shot at from multiple directions, where deadly sewer creatures skirmished with everything they could find.
"Is it about Claire." Chris asked reluctantly. If it was about his sister he would actually consider coming back home early.
"She's dating this guy through tinder." Leon revealed. Chris's brow shot down in disapproval. The fury in Chris was astounding. He had flames in his pupils and his whole face was turning red. 'Wait why do I give a shit? Claire's a grown woman.' Chris reconciled with himself.
"Leon I don't care." Chris replied.
"He wears a leather jacket and hoodie IN SHORT SLEEVE WEATHER CHRIS." Leon made clear.
"Leon what makes you think I give a damn about that. If the man feels like wearing a leather jacket then by all means he deserves to wear one. I'm out, gotta solve some problems with some tactical thinking and my gun. I only have a limited amount of ammo so here goes nothing." Chris responded popping out of his cover and storming down a path into a firefight where the odds were greatly placed against him.
Claire made all the actions to assure that the bash would be fantastical. She had already called some friends to bring the drinks, and some others to bring the food. The party was going to happen on a Saturday night. Claire made sure everyone knew by putting it on her snap chat story, her Instagram story, on twitter, etc.
Jill read Claire's snap story. 'Party at my house! The occasion my new boyfriend.' She texted Chris about this and carried on with her day. Jill was curious about this new boyfriend but she didn't want to go alone, that's why she begged Chris to come with her.
When Saturday came the party didn't start until everyone who Claire had called to help pitch in came to set their items for the other party goers. It was then that Claire announced the party was ready to take place.
"If you don't like him you don't have to make it public Chris." Jill said worried walking in the direction of Claire's house.
"I know." Chris replied in a bored tone.
"And there's no need to get violent ok?" Jill warned.
"I get it." Chris said. The two of them arrived on the front door step and entered the house.
"You two friends of Claire?" Alex questioned. Before they could answer Alex spoke.
"No smoking weed or popping pills. Just had to kick some little ass wipe out a few minutes earlier for that shit." Alex stated. Jill didn't like this guys tone of voice. 'I hope Claire's boyfriend is more polite than this guy.' Jill hoped in her head.
"What are you some sort of body guard Claire hired?" Chris asked amused. 'This guy is fucking jacked.' Alex noticed.
"I'm her boyfriend, Alex Mercer." Alex stated. Jill's eyes widened. 'She always did like bad boys, it's a step up from Wesker but still she could've gotten better. I should give him a chance though.' Jill planned internally.
"Ah nice to meet you I'm Chris, Claire's older brother." Chris said extending his hand out. Alex shook his hand. 'He's got a firm grasp. Impressive.' Christ thought.
" – I'm Jill Chris's –" Jill was cut off.
"Your Chris's girlfriend. Now that we got the pointless chit chat out of the way lets get some music going." Alex said leaving them by themselves.
"Chris I don't like this guy." Leon said who had already been introduced properly to Alex along with Barry.
"Have his name run through a back-ground check then Leon. I don't know how else to help you. His full name is Alex Mercer. Something pops up and I'll help you escort him out." Chris said. Leon nodded and left to his house to use his computer for a background check his phone was out of battery so that was out of the question.
Running out of the house Leon panted heavily moving as fast a light he sped down the road. Jill didn't like this guys attitude. However, Chris seemed to like him which surprised her. Jill hoped that Alex wasn't a criminal. That would mean more drama that Claire didn't need from her brother.
Music came on to which Jill's brow knit. Listening more to the song Jill shook her head.
"What you don't like his sophisticated taste of music?" Chris teased. Jill continued to listen to the song.
"All he's saying is Gucci gang over and over. Where's Claire?" Jill questioned.
"She's upstairs using the bathroom. Chris follow me I'll show you where the drinks are at." Barry said in an excited tone. Jill went upstairs to find Claire exiting the bathroom.
"Jill you made it! Have you met Alex?" Claire questioned.
"I have. He seems like the typical bad boy you'd date, not my type of guy but if you like him all the power to you." Jill stated. Claire tilted her head smiling.
"He is handsome though you can't lie." Claire teased.
"Sometimes looks don't make the man." Jill replied. "It's the heart inside." Jill finished. Claire folded her arms.
"Alex may seem like he doesn't care, but deep down he has a heart." Claire corrected. Jill figured she'd tell Claire what was up.
"Our little curtained haired friend Leon was sent back home by Chris to run a background test on Alex. Chris likes Alex but Leon doesn't." Jill said upfront. Claire's mouth was gaping open with a panicked brow.
Leon searched up Alex Mercer in the criminal data base and found a simple file that read;
"Alex Mercer:
Status: Deceased
Family: Dana Mercer
Criminal record: Smuggling biological weapons." And with that was a picture of Alex himself. Leon smirked. 'I got you now you son of a bitch'… Leon cheered.
Barry and Chris found Alex by the drinking table and decided to mess with him.
"So Alex what kind of drugs do you sell?" Chris asked who was filled in on the inside joke by Barry.
"None… Not recently that is." Alex stated. Barry and Chris glanced at each other.
"Don't worry I haven't sold any drugs since I was a kid back in my old foster home." Alex followed up.
" – So what attribute of Claire's won you over?" Barry questioned the smile returning to his face.
"That's a good question, I'm glad you asked Barry. I would have to say her rebellious personality. She's a tough one. And because she has a lot of care in her, care for someone like me." Alex answered.
"We can't let Leon run that background check!" Claire told Jill in pure distress.
"Why? What'd he do?" Jill questioned as equally uneasy. Leon returned from his house to the party and guessed Chris would be where the drinks were.
"Chris his file says he's dead and his criminal background was smuggling biological weapons." Leon revealed. Chris glanced at Alex. He had come to like Alex but now, now he felt deceived. Just as Wesker had deceived Chris years ago.
"Is this true Alex?" Chris questioned in a firm voice. Alex took a sip out of his cup. He cleared his throat and then clicked his neck on both sides.
"Yes and no. It's a long sto – " Flashbangs were thrown through the windows. Alex, Chris, and Barry knew to turn almost immediately. Large bangs erupted and screams roared. Entering the room were men in black gear with assault rifles. Jill and Claire drew their pistols and raced downstairs. Getting downstairs Jill and Claire witnessed Alex slicing through the intruders with his newly formed claws. The remaining trooper was stabbed directly in the chest and raised up, Alex raised his opposite hand and then slammed it on his head grabbing it and crushing it like a grape. The man's entire body was absorbed into Alex. 'WHAT THE FUCK?!' Jill said to herself her entire face twisting into an expression of pure shock and disgust.
The sound of clapping was heard outside the door. In came A blond intruder in all black. His shades reflected the light that made contact with it.
"Wesker!" Chris seethed.
"You really thought I wouldn't find you? Here of all places? I'm disappointed that you all thought of me so low to the point where you thought you were actually safe here." Wesker said in a dramatic voice.
"You made a BIG mistake fucking with Claire today. We're going to take this outside and settle this man to man. Freak to freak." Alex said with his sharpened claw finger pointing at Wesker.
"My, my… A potty mouth indeed. You've sparked my interests, definitely. I accept your challenge my hooded friend." Wesker said standing aside and beckoning towards the door for Alex to exit first in the true gentleman fashion that Wesker pertained to. Alex felt all the eyes on him, these people were depending on someone. Someone strong, someone with an agenda to save them. Someone like Alex Mercer.
Alex left the house shifting his right arm into the infamous blade arm, an arm finally tuned to dispatch armored tanks like they were nothing. His left arm remained a claw. Albert fixed his shades.
"Tell me. When's the last time you've felt like you were truly on the brink of death?" Albert questioned amused. The corner of his lip was curved upward, only slightly.
"Now you've pissed me off. You can kiss ever walking again goodbye." Alex said in a low dark voice.
Wesker had enough and darted towards Alex in a blinding speed. He moved so nimble and fast that Alex was caught off guard. Wesker dashed back and forth, hitting Alex from all over the place. Alex dropped to his knee.
'He's fast. You've got moves to counter that.' Alex said to himself. Transforming his arms to regular body parts. 'When he becomes a blur, I'll have a split second to counter.' Alex thought. Wesker risked another attack, it was in that moment that Alex punched his knuckles together the sheer force of the attack was enough to send Wesker back. It was here that Alex quickly transformed his arm into the blade arm and dashed rapidly slashing Wesker's legs while he was still in midair. 'That'll cut him down a notch.' Alex figured. Wesker rolled on the ground and quickly got up. His legs were severely injured to the point where he was unable to run anymore.
"Let's play catch Wesker." Alex said picking up a car with one arm and throwing it at Wesker. Alex jumped in the air while Albert caught the incoming car, his legs bled profusely catching it. Before he had the time to throw it back, Alex had slashed through the car from above and sliced into Wesker's chest. A gush of blood spilled downward from his torso falling to the ground like rain. That move was powerful enough to make tanks explode on impact, Alex grinned. He transformed his normal hand into his whipfist and used that to whip Wesker's leg which it snapped backwards.
"Had enough!? Or do I have to finish this!" Alex said transforming his blade arm into a claw.
"No! I refuse to be defeated!" Wesker roared through gritted teeth. With everything Wesker had the adrenaline made his body heal fast. Fixing his leg Wesker stood. He was still profoundly wounded but he was able to fight still.
"Guess I have to end this now." Alex's blade arm shifted into his muscle mass arm. With one of these he became super power, powerful enough to destroy helicopters with a single kick, throw things farther, and deal more damage. Jumping up he dashed into Wesker punting him a far distance. Dropping to the ground Wesker attempted to stand. Alex raised his claw arm. Tendrils swirled around the arm as Alex charged up his next attack while Wesker was too busy coughing up blood in his attempts to stand. Stabbing his claws into the ground, the street ripped apart as it reached Wesker. From the ground erupted several spikes piercing into Wesker in multiple places. The spikes retracted into the ground and Alex ripped his arm from the ground.
"…" Wesker couldn't even speak. Alex walked briskly over to Wesker and picked him up.
"You're nothing compared to me. I didn't even have to use my armored form, nor did I have to use any devastators. I want you to know that you got killed by a man who was holding back you arrogant fucking loser." Alex belittled before turning Wesker around and ripping his spine out. Tendrils surged into Wesker's body and pulled him into Alex's for consumption.
"… HOLY SHIT." Barry said standing on Claire's front lawn along side Claire, Leon, Chris, and Jill.
"He did what we were trying to do for years in just a single day. Where has this guy been all this time." Barry said in a moment of awe.
"Let's get back to partying. You guys better not have finished all the drinks." Alex said returning to the front lawn of the house tendrils swarmed his arms as his arms returned to normal. Alex drunk some more before he was pulled aside by Jill.
"Care to tell me how you got to be this way?" Jill questioned in a serious tone.
"Ask Claire when the pary's over." Alex said in a bored voice while downing another cup of booze. Leaving Jill with the others Alex searched for Claire which didn't take very long.
"I can't believe it's over. It's finally over." Claire said staring off into space.
"Nothing's ever over. Some guy or girl will probably take his place. Claire I just want to let you know that if you ever need me that I'll be there for you. Here's my number." Alex said giving it to Claire whom could tell that it was a piece of paper ripped straight from his war journal.
"You're not staying?" Claire inquired in a downed voice
"Not until I can get the money for me and Dana to move." Alex said placing his hands behind Claire's lower back and pulling her in for a kiss. Claire pulled Alex into her room after making out with him for a minute.
Claire watched as Alex took off his jacket and unzipped his hood. Unbuttoning his shirt he revealed a well cut eight pack and ripped chest to Claire's liking. Claire took off her red dress shirt showcasing her red bra, and then proceeded to slide her pants off after unzipping them. Alex smirked at her red thong. Turning Claire around Alex slapped her round bubble butt earning him a soft whimper from her.
"That hurt Alex!" She complained.
"Did it?" Alex said unzipping his pants. Claire watched eagerly as Alex pulled it out. Claire gasped.
"You're bigger than Leon and Wesker combined." Claire said.
"Wait, wait, wait… Hold on there, just a second. How the hell do you know how big Wesker is – Well was?" Alex asked confused.
"I have a soft spot for bad boys." Claire said shrugging.
"Allow me to tickle that soft spot then." Alex said smirking.
When they finished making love Claire explained to Jill why Alex was super powered which then lead to Jill explaining the same story to Barry, Chris, and Leon. And when Leon tried leaving Alex tapped on his shoulder to say;
"If you ever try fucking over my relationship again there's gonna be a problem you got that you Leonardo DiCaprio looking mother fucker." Alex roasted.
"Whatever…" Leon said leaving pissed off.
"That's why your girl only texts your ass and doesn't put out." Alex insulted. Claire had filled Alex in about Leon's relationship with Ada when she told him those stories earlier this morning.
"I should kick your ass." Leon said turning around.
"Go home before I give you a wedgie you fucking dork. Go back to shoving dildos up your ass and pretending that it's Wesker after he just fucked Ada right in front of you, you fucking cuckold." Alex spat. Leon returned home pissed off that Claire was into such a douchebag.
"I heard you ripping Leon a new one. Go easy on him next time." Claire suggested.
"You heard wrong. And in the scenario that you heard right, I would only have said that because I don't want little rats trying to fuck up our relationship.
"He probably thought you were a high level threat like Wesker. Cut him some slack." Claire replied. Alex laughed.
"I'd rather cut him than cut him some slack." Alex stated.
"I love you." Claire said out of the blue. Alex cupped Claire's chin with his hand.
"I love you so much more." Alex said kissing Claire. Their tongues made contact and Claire couldn't be any more happy. The two of them fell asleep together. Tomorrow was a new day, and a new problem. But for now, there was no problem. Alex later moved into Claire's house with Dana once he got enough cash for it. Alex worked as a pizza deliverer nearby while Dana worked as a private investigator. All three of them lived happily. Everyone in the neighborhood was happily satisfied in fact, everyone Leon. Ada Wong had broke up with him days later leaving Leon to cry streams of tears and have snot dripping out of his nose. What a cuckold, the end.
