Chapter 1

It had been six months since the disaster in China. The world was still reeling from the alleged terrorist attack of the C-virus and the death of the President. The Vice President, safely tucked away during the attack, had come into power. Things were rebuilding, people were healing. The war against Neo-Umbrella was still in full swing, however, and the BSAA was still struggling in the midst of it all.

Chris Redfield looked out over the vast landscape, the sloping hills and the rolling grass seeming to go on forever. He supposed that he shouldn't be surprised that Spain was so beautiful, so pristine, as if an artists' paintbrush had perfected every minute detail. Even the air smelled better than it did back home. 'This is a place that Piers would have loved' he thought, breathing a heavy sigh. Every thought about Piers made him feel defeated. The young man had been his protege, the person who would take over once Chris felt he couldn't go on any longer. 'But he was so much more than that'

"Captain? We're ready to go." Chris turned and looked at the soldier who had come in behind him. He was young, but then again all the recruits were so young now. How long had it been since he'd recruited someone close to his own age?

"Great, guess we should get going. Home's waiting." Chris said as he turned to walk back into the rented house the BSAA Alpha team was staying in. His teammates were getting all of the last bits of their gear packed into bags, all of them ready to get home. It had been a relatively easy mission this time, all they had to do was arrest a few people low in the Neo-Umbrella hierarchy. It was done in less than 48 hours. Now all that was left to do was pack up and head back to the States, as if nothing had even happened. He looked around and surveyed his team, a group of eight young men who looked up to him as if he could do no wrong. Once upon a time he would have known all of the names of the men on his team but now it seemed unimportant. He still cared for each and every one of them but ever since Piers had been gone it seemed as if there was an essential part of the team missing, a puzzle piece that had been tucked away somewhere, leaving the rest unfinished. He still remembered that haunting smile as he was ejected away in the escape pod, that unbearable desire to wake up and realize that it was all nothing more than a dream. A nightmare. He shook his head in an attempt to clear the image away but that never worked, it was burned into his mind and would forever be there when he closed his eyes. It was a haunting memory that he hated but was happy to have.

"Transport's here, Captain." said one of the men, and Chris looked out the window of the small house to see the two dark SUV's come rolling into the driveway.

"Well let's get going. Everybody move." Chris grabbed his pack and walked outside, showing his badge and credentials to the driver. He hopped into the first of the SUVs, noticing the new leather smell of the inside. He chuckled softly to himself. Sometimes the government hated the BSAA and sometimes they loved them. You could always tell by what kind of car they sent out to get you. If it was a beat up piece of shit then they were in trouble for something but if it was a nice tricked out SUV then they had managed to stay in good graces.

The ride to the airport was short and sweet and before he knew it they were boarding the plane, happily surprised to find that they had been put in first class. 'Shit we must have done something really good this time.' Chris couldn't help but laugh, happy to be getting these great accomodations. His seat was next to the rookie of the team, a man with dark hair and olive skin. He could feel the man's nervousness wafting off of him like an aura.

"You okay rookie?"

"Yes." He spit out, stuttering, quickly adding "I mean yes, Captain."

"I'm bad with names, you're Rod... ?"

"Rodriguez, sir." the young man stammered, looking at Chris as if he wanted to say more. There was an awkward silence for a moment and then Chris realized why the man looked so familiar. There had been another Rodriguez in his team back in Edonia. He swallowed hard, the memories of that awful mission coming back to him in a haze. How could he possibly forget that those two were related? He grasped for something to say but he couldn't find any words. What could he say? No words would ever fully describe the sorrow that he felt for those men who had been through hell, turned into ghastly BOWs by that bitch Ada Wong. He could still see the pleading look on their faces, reaching out for him, looking to their Captain for any type of help. He couldn't do anything for them though. Hell, if it hadn't been for Piers he would have perished there himself.

The plane took off and eventually all of the men settled down, lazily flipping through books or murmuring to each other. No one spoke to the captain and he was alright with that. His thoughts were elsewhere. Long flights always had that affect on him, made his mind soar like the plane, probing the deepest recesses of his mind.

The scent of him in the air, the moistness of a mouth wrapped around him, the wet heat feeling like heaven on earth. Chris moaned gently and looked down at the man at this waist. Piers Nivans was like no other person in the world, someone so fiercely loyal and so amazingly talented at everything. He looked up into Chris's eyes, the slightest hint of a smile dancing behind them. His mouth worked slowly up and down Chris, causing the older man's breath to hitch. Chris pulled his cock out of his teammate's mouth, pulling him up to his feet and kissing him deeply, their tongues exploring each other playfully. Chris pushed Piers to the couch and removed his shirt, enjoying the hunger in his partner's eyes as Piers looked him up and down.

Chris straddled him on the couch, the two men barely fitting but making it work, and kissed him again. The younger man moaned as Chris rubbed the outline of his erection through his jeans.

"Do you like that?" he asked, as he playfully bit his partner's neck.

"Yes captain." Piers said breathlessly, staring up into Chris' eyes. Chris unbuttoned the younger man's jeans and pulled his cock out of his boxers. He eyed it hungrily and spit into his hand before sliding it up and down in his fist. Piers gasped at the sensation, fluid already dribbling slightly down his erection. His head rolled back and he moaned as Chris picked up the speed. Chris felt his heart beating faster at the sight of Piers caught up in such pleasure. It was almost too much.

"Touch me Piers." He demanded roughly, unable to handle much more. The younger man smiled and slid his hand over the Captain's hardness, moving up and down in quick succession.

"Yes sir."

Chris smiled at the formality in his partner's voice. His breath quickened as the younger man worked his cock up and down, his grip firming. He knew he was close, the smell of sweat and sex in the air intoxicating him, filling him.

"Fuck, Piers." he moaned, begging to be released. He couldn't wait to come all over that smooth chest, covering his partner in himself. The image alone was enough to almost push him over the edge.

"Captain?"

Suddenly Chris was back in reality, the memory of that night fading away as quickly as it came on. He blinked his eyes like a dreamer coming out of sleep. He looked to his right and saw that Rodriguez was staring at him.

"Yeah? Sorry, must have dozed off there.."

"It's fine, sir. You were just mumbling a lot in your sleep, wanted to make sure you're good?" he asked, eyes filled with slight concern. Chris felt his ears redden as he wondered what he had said exactly, hoping that it was nothing that gave anything away.

"Sorry." he said softly, unable to come up with anything else to take the embarassment of talking in his sleep away. He sighed and looked out the window at the clouds passing below them, a heaviness in his chest that ached and twisted at the core. Memories were all he had now and eventually they would grow foggy as well, just as temporary as the clouds.
