I Do not own anything.
Chapter 9
Leon and Claire both walked down towards the mission briefing room where their teammates awaited them. They had already had breakfast at Carols and it was safe to assume that they both had they fair share of exercise that morning.
"So are you ready to meet the team" said Claire as she was wrapped her arms around Leon's.
"As ready as I'm ever gonna be, I just hope these rookies don't slow us down" said Leon as he gave her one of his adorable grins.
"Need I remind you that you were once a rookie too" Claire said in a teasing manner.
"That was a long time ago, why must you always rub it in"
"Cause its fun, and you will always be that cute innocent guy I met back in Raccoon" Claire said as she kissed him on the cheek.
When they arrived they saw three people waiting for them. One was a man who looked like he was in his mid thirty's with long red hair that was tied back in a ponytail, the next was a guy in his late twenty's with short blond hair and was wearing shades as he sat by the window. The last was a woman also in her early thirty's. She had long curly dark hair and glasses and seemed to be wearing a lab coat of some sort.
The red head guy stood up and immediately offered out his hand.
"Hi my name is Andrew I'm the technical expert of the team; you must be the famous Leon S Kennedy and Claire Redfield"
"You've heard of us I see, we don't really consider ourselves famous though" said Claire in a sort of embarrassed tone.
"Are you kidding, you two are practically legends around here, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, especially you Ms Redfield" He then picked up Claire's hand and kissed it lightly.
"Maybe after all of this is over me and you can go out for a drink or" Andrew never got to finish as Leon grabbed him by the neck and easily lifted him off the ground with one hand.
"This is not all fun and games you idiot, if you screw up even once don't think I won't hesitate to kill you in an instant" said Leon with his temper still flaring.
Claire was blushing at the statement. She knew for a fact that Leon now had plenty of reasons for killing him other than just screwing up the mission.
"Whoa calm down man I was only kidding" said Andrew as Leon put him down and while gasped for breath.
"My name is Tim I'm the most experienced out of us three when it comes to combat training, so I hope I can be of some help to you" said the blond man.
"And I'm Marlene, I will be the field medic and sample collector during the mission" said the woman with a smile.
"Well since all the introductions are clear why don't we get started" said Claire.
"Hold on just one sec" said a voice that had just entered the room.
Both Claire and Leon irked for a moment before realizing it was president Graham.
" There is one more person that's coming along with you, even though her past is kind of shady she has had an equal amount of experience concerning bio weapons. I'm pretty sure she will be of help to you"
The next thing they knew an asian woman wearing a long red coat and heels walked into the room. Both Leon and Claire's jaws fell to the ground when they realized who it was.
"It's been a long time Leon" she said with a wink.
Leon just stood there shocked, while you can literally sense the anger radiating off Claire.
"Ada what the hell are you doing here, I thought you worked for Wesker" Leon said
"Well I've changed Leon, I no longer work for Wesker or anyone involved with him, I've broken things off with his organization long before his death"
"Ok so why the hell are you here" Claire asked in the harshest voice possible.
"I've decided that after all the harm I've done in the past it was time to start a new leaf you know, and what better than to start by helping you handsome" said Ada seductively as she put a hand on Leon's shoulder, which immediately drew Claire's attention as she went over and shoved it off.
" And just why the Hell should we trust you, you've screwed me over more times that I can count in the past, what makes this time different" said Leon.
"We have already had a background check with Ms Wong, she is no longer associated with Wesker or has anything to do with his organization, I believe it is in everyone's best interest to have an operative as skilled as her on your side" said the president.
" How can you say this mister president, me and Claire have both witnessed the types of things she is capable of, or have you forgotten that it was her fault that Wesker got his hands on the plaga sample which was the catalyst for all that transpired in Africa" Leon said with anger written all over his face.
"I never gave the sample to Wesker, I actually switched it for something else before I actually handed it to him, God knows how he actually acquired a sample after he figured out mines was a fake, but believe me I wasn't the one who gave him it. Me and you both know the vast amount of resources that were at Wesker's disposal Leon. It shouldn't surprise you that he found another way to get another plaga sample from the village after we left."
Leon thought for a moment, he remembered the large amounts of plaga that were still buried underneath Salazar's castle, as much as he hated to admit it Wesker could have simply sent someone else down there to retrieve another sample for him, and with the resources he had with Tri Cell he could have easily developed a master plaga sample without the help of the now deceased Louis Sera.
"Look Leon I know we had a shaky past but I'm a changed woman now. I know that it will take some time for you to take it in so I'll just leave it at that" said Ada as she flashed him a smile.
"I'll let you get started then" said the president as he exited the room.
"Fine then lets begin" said Claire who was still giving Ada a death glare.
"Our mission is to infiltrate one of Wesker's facility's. We are to gather as much information as possible and try and retrieve not only the vaccine for the T Virus but try and gather samples of any other viruses that can be obtained in order to create more vaccines in the future. You must remember that while collecting the viruses it is imperative that you proceed with extra caution, if even a single vile of it escapes into the ventilation or water system were gonna have a full scale Biohazard on our hands if that place isn't infected already. You will each be given an extraction case for the viruses, each equipped with a cooling system to subdue the viruse while in containment." said both Claire and Leon.
"Remember to proceed with extreme caution; we don't know what is in the facility even though Wesker is dead expect BOW's while proceeding, knowing Wesker he'll probably have Hell itself stored in there. We have approximately twenty four hours to rendezvous at the extraction point on the beach after we have landed, after which the US military will proceed to launch a large scale missile attack to wipe out the facility and everything in it. It is imperative that everyone makes it back to the chopper in time or your history"
Andrew then extended his hand for a question. "By the looks of it the facility seems to extend down towards the ocean floor so I'm guessing this facility is fairly large. Do you think we will be able to cover that much ground in time"
"There is no need to cover the entire facility, once you have completed the mission we make a break for the extraction point." said Claire who was trying to reassure him that they would not be caught up in the military strike.
"But what if we do actually encounter BOW's" said Marlene who looked a bit tense at the moment.
"Shoot them in the head, that is the best way to put down a BOW, if they were to continue to attack you afterwards you could either try and hit them in the same spot again ore make a run for it, although the best piece of advice I can offer you is to avoid them at all cost, we don't know what new weapons Wesker has stored in there and there is still a lot we don't have data on"
"Are there anymore questions" asked Claire.
The room remained silent.
"Good we'll see you all at the extraction point of the chopper tomorrow morning, remember to get some rest and tell your loved ones where you are headed for you might not see them again if your not careful."
This made the three rookies swallow hard, while Ada just sat there with a grin on her face.
With that everyone exited the briefing room.
"Well what do we do now Leon"
I don't know I'm still trying to take in this whole Ada situation" said Leon as he rubbed his forehead.
"Why don't we go out for dinner tonight to take your mind off of things, my treat" said Claire
"And what kind of boyfriend would I be if I let you pay, you can forget it Red, you will never convince me of it" Leon said while giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"Oh so were together now huh" Claire said as she started kissing him back.
"Well after last night I really don't see anything against it" Leon said with a grin.
"You are just damn lucky you're so cute otherwise I would have you on an ambulance within seconds" said Claire as she continued to make out with him.
After about five minutes of intense lip locking they broke off.
"I'm gonna run to the men's room real quick why don't you meet me outside in the parking lot while I'm there"
"Ok don't be long Kennedy" with that he went off and Claire made her way towards the parking lot.
Unfortunately for her she was met with the very object of her scorn that day when she met Ada halfway there.
"So you and Leon are together now ha, I don't blame you he has come a long way since Raccoon, I bet women swoon over him constantly"
" Stay the hell away from me, and stay the hell away from Leon, I don't know why the president would ever even consider putting you on this mission, but you better not try anything funny"
" Ahh is the great and powerful Claire Redfield jealous that she has some competition for little Leon Kennedy" said Ada with an evil smile on her face.
Claire's anger continued to grow and was trying hard not to knock her teeth out right there.
" Just know this, I don't trust you and nor does Leon, the moment you try anything strange I will be more than happy to put a bullet in your head"
Ada gave a slight giggle at this.
"We'll see Redfield, we'll see"
With that she walked off, Claire continued to glare at her retreating form for a few more seconds before making her way towards Leon's car.
When Ada was a fair distance away she received a transmission from her mobile device (A/N I don't know what the device is called but it's the same one she used in RE4)
On the screen was shadowy looking man.
" Ada have you been able to procure a spot on Kennedy's and Redfield's team"
" Yes I was able to bypass their background check. They mostly checked my past relations with Wesker so it wasn't hard"
"Good, and what about Kennedy and Redfield?"
"Redfield suspects something, she doesn't seem to be letting her guard down when it comes to me. She seems to scorn me with every ounce of her being, I guess she thinks I'm gonna steal Kennedy from her or something. Leon seems to have problems trusting me as well due to our past encounters, but other than that the other three seem like amateurs so we have nothing to worry about"
" Do not let your guard down, remember your mission is to extract the two subjects containing the G and T-Veronica viruses. They are the only two samples left in the world and our agency cannot afford to let Isaacs and Tricell get their hands on those two or all would be lost, I will not tolerate failure."
"I understand that Isaacs is already within the facility. If all goes according to plan I will just eliminate him and save us the trouble of him interfering in the future. I'll also find a way to distance myself away from Leon and Claire as soon as we arrive tomorrow, that should keep them off our backs. It shouldn't be a hard task considering how huge the place is"
" Alright, I'll be sending Jake Chang with your equipment tomorrow, he will rendezvous with you once you've lost Kennedy and Redfield inside the facility. You two should work well considering how close you've gotten over the past few months, remember your mission is to retrieve the subjects, but if you do happen to come across Isaacs forget everything else and kill him on the spot, with him gone Ticell would collapse for sure."
"I understand sir, and make sure Chang brings along my Grapple gun along with him tomorrow, that baby has saved my hide in more ways than one"
"Failure is not an option, we must do all we can to make sure the viruses do not fall back into the hands of Tricell"
"I won't fail you Trent" with that Ada shut off her hand held and continued towards her car.
"This should be very interesting indeed"

(A/N, Hey everyone sorry I haven't updated in ages, it's just been a mixture of College, homework and laziness for me. And if you've read the novels you would know who Trent is, he plays a significant role towards Wesker so look him up and you'll see. I'll try and have the next chapter up soon so don't give up on me yet. Anyway thanks for reading and please review. I'm aiming for at least thirty five reviews so please don't hesitate to do so. )
