I have no beta so all mistakes are mine.

I also don't own the characters or the movie.

"Hey!"

I quickly spin around with my gun at the ready, expecting to be faced with the clone of Rain I met in the suburban environment. I was not expecting to see a far more feminine Rain.

"Wait she helped us, don't you remember?" Becky quickly said to me. She must be a clone from the suburban environment I quickly piece together.

"You two made it." The clone said as the quickly put her arms around me. I stand there trying not to react to the hug, as I tell myself she's not Rain. She quickly lets go of me, to my internal relief and protest, and hugs Becky. I quickly take a moment to examine her as she keeps talking.

She was much softer in comparison to the other clone, wearing civilian clothes with her long hair falling down her back in their natural curls. Unbidden memories of moments playing with those curls come to my mind, before I quickly shut them away.

I keep my stoic mask as I ask her "Do you know how to use this?" indicating the gun.

"I campaigned for gun control." She replies dryly. Well what do you know. The Red Queen does have a sense of humour.

She continues to protest as I put the gun in her hands, positioning myself behind her against her back.

"Concentrate." I say, though it's more to myself than her. Having her so close wasn't helping me control my memories. In that moment I couldn't help but resent the clones of Rain. For bringing back the pain. For reminding me of what I had lost. No. What Umbrella took from me. Everything.

But it isn't her fault I quickly remind myself and return my mind to teaching the clone how to shoot a gun. "It's just like a camera" I murmur "just point and shoot." I take in quick, shallow breath when the force of the gun going off pushes her further into me. Quickly swallowing I put on a bit of bravo and say "Congratulations. You are officially a badass."

I quickly let go of her and start towards the end of the subway, the gunshots reminding me of Luther and the others who had been sent to get me and mostly likely in need of my help.

"What's the hell's going on here?" she asks, another difference from Rain she would have just demanded an answer…

"I'll explain when I get back, Right now you have to keep her safe." I tell her, indicating Becky before turning to the child and telling her to stay with the other clone.

"You're going?" She asks distressed "You said you wouldn't leave."

I quickly reassure her "Trust me ok? What I say is true. I'll come back for you."

"You promise?"

"Trust me" I repeat as Rain's clone walks up and takes Becky's hand. As they start to walk away Becky does the only thing that could make my emotions in even more of a turmoil.

"I love you."

I stand there frozen as the two of them walk away. Love. I hadn't even considered letting anyone in close enough to love in the past 7 years.
