Surprised
Claire got a message from her brother after she was finished destroying all the plagas-infected in this area. She was in Spain with Leon, to stop the remaining plagas-infected ones roaming about and completely destroy them. They were almost finished-they just had one more region to clean up-there were only a few plagas hosts left, but they were causing panic and problems.
"A party, huh?" She smiled and looked up to Leon."How about it when we finish this up?" Leon looked back at Claire, and shrugged.
"Yeah, it'll be good to have a little break from zombies and plagas." He replied. It would take them a couple of days to clean up the last region-there were only five signals of plagas, and the region was small. Claire smiled and nodded, replying to Chris' message. They would be back in a few days.
The next morning, Leon and Claire arrived in the last region-Leon remembered it was in this region where Las Plagas started, and now he was back to finish the job. As they searched for the plagas, Leon was stopped by a man asking for a smoke. Claire looked confused as Leon looked up and started to reply, but then jumped back, showing an expression of shock and surprise.
"Oh, hey it's you, amigo." Luis Sera looked up to Leon and smiled-it was his old friend. Leon smiled but was surprised."And you have another lady with you."
"How are you still alive. I..I saw you get killed by Saddler!" Leon said, and Luis laughed softly.
"It's funny-I thought I was died to, but I found a first-aid spray and healed myself..I guess you could say I only just survived, amigo." Luis replied."But I gotta say, throughout the last year, I have been preparing to move out of this country, go see you and maybe surprise you, amigo." Luis had gotten everything ready, so now he just had to leave.
"Well..it'll be a couple of days before we go-we still have to destroy the last plagas hosts." Claire said, looking to Luis. Luis then nodded.
"Well, I kinda sorted out most of them, but one keeps evading me." He replied softly, with a shrug. "I could help you, amigos."
"Well, we could help you, Luis," Leon replied and Claire nodded.
After one and a half days, the last plagas host was found and destroyed, and the three could go home. After they arrived in the airport, Claire and Leon, with Luis, were met by Chris and Jill. The other S.T.A.R.S. members were back at base, sorting out the things for the party. Barry was also back at base, helping out with his wife and kids. Chris and Jill were introduced to Luis, who smiled and was friendly.
On the ride home, Claire was absently staring out of the window, when she spotted a familiar face wandering down the sidewalk.
"Chris, stop please!" She said, and as soon as they stopped, she got out of the car and went to the person-and she was surprised.
"Steve!" She smiled and threw her arms around the surprised Steve. Steve then smiled and looked to Claire.
"Hey, Claire-long time no see." He said softly."I missed you." Claire smiled, then aksed Chris to let Steve come with them. Chris soon agreed after Claire pleaded, and so they were headed to the party. A good chance to have a break from saving the world. Claire smiled and rested her head on Steve's shoulder
