Chris and Jill sat together as they watched the news. It was Raccoon all over again. The nurses attacked at that hospital had all been sent home, only to attack their families' hours later. Then, of course, the families set out to the streets. By the next morning an entire neighborhood was infected. Police began to arrive to quarantine the area. It wasn't doing much good. Jill sighed and stood up.

"This cant be happening again. We finally get rid of that asshole Wesker and now this!"

Chris rubbed his head.

"I'm still going to HQ. They might have something going on now." he said.

"I'm just going to stay home, keep an eye on the news."

He nodded and stood up. He kissed her before heading for the door.

HQ wasn't considering the outbreak an act of terrorism so they would not get involved. Chris was beyond frustrated. He knew that this outbreak was caused by a person or persons who had access to the virus. His employers wouldn't listen though. With nothing left to do, he headed towards the diner, hoping Sherry was there early. She was usually there before him anyway. He wanted to make sure she was okay and to try and convince her to leave town. When he walked in, she was sitting in their usual place.

"Sherry did you hear what's going on?" he said as he sat down.

"With all those people? Yeah, unless something else happened." she said.

He shook his head.

"Not that I know of. Anyway, how are you?" he asked.

"I'm fine, just a little freaked out. You?"

He sighed.

"Sherry does your family live here?" he asked.

"No, why?"

"I think you should leave the city. If this is anything like Raccoon, things will get bad."

She starred at him for a minute.

"I'm not going anywhere."

Chris wasn't sure, but she seemed different.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm fine. I just feel like I need to be here. I can't explain it." she said, starring down at the table.

Chris jumped when he felt his new cell phone vibrating. It was Claire.

"Hold on just a second, it's my sister." he said before answering.

"Hello." he said.

"Chris, Leon just called, he's going in to investigate that neighborhood. Apparently the government is considering this an extremely high risk situation. They don't want another Umbrella incident on their hands."

"He told you all that?" he asked.

"Yeah, he though we should know since we were there the first time."

"I'll let Jill and Barry know then. I take it we can't go over there and help him?"

"Unfortunately no. He said he would let me know what's going on when he gets out. Hopefully he can end this before it spreads any farther."

Chris glanced at Sherry.

"Do you want to meet up with me and the rest of the group?" he asked.

"Sure, when though?"

"Um, I'm at that little diner downtown, the one we had lunch at a few weeks ago." he said.

"I can be there in half an hour."

"Perfect. See you soon sis." he said and hung up.

Sherry started to stand up.

"No, can you stay?" he asked.

"You want me to stay? I'm not one of you guys."

"Yeah but what you said made me think you should be here."

She smiled.

"Okay then."

Chris then dialed his home number. He needed his former comrades right now.

Sherry smiled at the red haired man who sat down next to her. Chris introduced him as Barry Burton. He was much older than her but he had a very friendly smile. What would Wesker think knowing she was about to be sitting among all his surviving subordinates? He would probably laugh. Chris was looking out the window, waiting for Jill and his sister. Sherry was a little nervous about his sister. It wasn't just what Wesker had said, it was also something else. She couldn't quite place it. It was like meeting with an old friend or something. She sighed and looked out the window too. There weren't many people outside. They were probably all back at work as the lunch hour was pretty much over. Chris stood up as Jill came in. Jill starred at her for a minute then smiled. Sherry returned it.

"Jill this is Sherry, Sherry this is Jill." he said as they sat down.

"I've heard a lot about you Sherry." the older woman said.

"As have I about you. You really are lucky, he's a good one." she said.

Jill laughed,

"If he was a good one he would remember to throw his clothes in the hamper."

They both laughed.

"Barry, it's been awhile." Jill said.

"Yeah, I'm glad you made it away from Wesker." he said back.

She nodded.

"Thanks to Chris." she said lovingly.

Sherry resisted the urge to gag.

"So are Leon and Claire coming?" Barry asked.

"Claire should be here any minute. I'll let her tell you guys what she told me about Leon." Chris answered.

Barry and Jill exchanged a worried look.

Then all their heads turned towards the door as Chris stood again. A brown haired girl walked it. It must have been Claire. Sherry started shaking. Something about this girl caused a strange reaction in her. Claire starred at her for moment. Sherry suddenly got a terrible head ache. Things started filling her head, things that had never happened before. She screamed as she saw a man in a white lab coat standing with a blond woman also wearing a lab coat. Then she saw Claire with the cop that had arrested her not long ago, except he was wearing a Raccoon City police uniform. She felt arms around her, trying to calm her down but it wasn't helping. She stood up in the booth and jumped over the table. Chris caught her before she could hit the ground. He tried to hold and calm her down but her mind was racing and she had to get out.

"Sherry what's wrong?" he asked.

"Sherry?" Claire asked.

The sound of Claire's voice was so familiar. It was the same voice of the woman who caught her running from that agent.

"Sherry?" Claire asked again.

"No, don't talk to me!" she screamed.

One of the waitresses came out.

"Should I call 911?" she asked.

"No, she's fine; we just have to get her to calm down." Chris answered.

Sherry couldn't stop the pain in her head.

"Daddy!!!" she yelled.

"Sherry please calm down. Let us help you." Jill said.

"Wesker you lied to me!!!" she screamed before elbowing Chris in the ribs.

He let go of her and she bolted towards the door. She ran right by Claire.

"Sherry wait!" Chris called out behind her.

She ignored him and kept running. She had to find Wesker. So many new things had come back to her. They were memories that were long forgotten until now. Part of her wanted to stay and talk to Claire, but there was a greater part that wanted to confront the man who had kidnapped her all those years ago.

She jumped up to the balcony when she saw no one was around. Wesker was standing in the living room watching the news. He turned in her direction as she slammed the glass doors open. He didn't expect her to fly at him. He easily countered her attack and swiftly flipped her over his shoulder. She twisted around and landed on her feet. Then she jumped at him again. He caught her wrist and attempted to swing her around but she wrapped her legs around his waist. He grabbed her other wrist and proceeded to pin them behind her back. She didn't let go of her hold on him. They starred at each other.

"Ms. Birkin is there any reason you came in like that?" he asked in a much too calm voice.

"You lied!" she yelled.

"Perhaps you could inform me as to what I lied about?"

She growled.

"I was in Raccoon City, with my parents, with Claire and Leon!"

He didn't appear as shocked as she thought he should.

"Ah. I see now."

"I'm not human because of you! You took me from Claire! I could have been normal!"

"Sherry, being normal isn't necessarily a good thing. I have given you more power than most could dream of."

"Why? Did you ever stop to think that I didn't want that!?"

He twisted her wrist, causing her to loosen her grip on his torso. He pulled her away from himself and pinned her to the floor.

"I didn't give you a choice. You were a perfect match for the virus your father created. With it, I made you perfect. A life with those idiots would have been nothing to what you will have now." he said calmly.

"All I know is being your slave! You make me stay with you and do as you say. Walking around this city is the most freedom I have ever had! Not to mention the fact that I have grown up with no human experiences! I have no idea what its like to be a teenager or an adult!"

"You want experience? Certainly Mr. Redfield could help you with that! Sherry I took care of you when there was no one else. Claire would have taken you to the authorities and left you there. She cared for you while she had too, I didn't have to take you in. I wanted you to have everything. I made you part of a new and better race. Together we could rule this pathetic world."

"Together? You don't want anything to do with me! I'm not good enough for your attention. This world won't be much if everyone dies and becomes a zombie!" she shouted.

"At the most, another city will be lost. The government won't allow it to go as far as Raccoon did. As far as you not being good enough, that has to stop. I have never said anything of that nature. You are perfect Sherry. You don't even need to stabilize yourself as I do. I am not romantically attracted to you, stop thinking like that. We don't have to be a couple to rule together."

Sherry glared at him.

"I want to leave." she said.

"And go where?" he asked.

"I want to go back to Chris and Claire. I want to help them."

He growled.

"I would prefer that you remained with me. You efforts are wasted with them."

"We aren't even doing anything. I'm bored! I actually look forward to seeing Chris everyday!"

"I can give you plenty to do if you wish." he said.

"Let me leave or make me stay." she said in a low voice.

He laughed.

"Bossy aren't we?"

"Things can't be the same Wesker. I remember everything."

He pressed her a little harder against the floor.

"I think it's time you made your own decisions."

He kept his body on top of hers but allowed her to move her arms.

"What do you really want to do Ms. Birkin?" he asked.

She thought for a moment. Then she acted. Reaching up, she grabbed his face and brought her mouth to his. He didn't stop her as she kissed him. When she finally stopped, they starred at each other.

"Well, that wasn't quite was I expected you to decide to do." he said.

She removed his sunglasses.

"Things have changed, I don't think I'm scared of you anymore." she said.

He grinned.

"I guess we will just have to do something about that."
