Chapter 13: Family Reunion

After a brief time of hugging, they all back up. Claire handles Sherry making sure she's okay and heads up ahead, leaving Leon and Ivan behind.

"I just want to say thank you for saving me." Ivan hugs Leon, embracing each other this time.

"No problem, there was no way I was gonna let anything happen to you. I made the promise in the apartment and I plan on keeping it." Leon responds back.

They hug again and Ivan slowly steps back and they stare at each other. Leon and Ivan just look into each other's eyes, silence between the two stacked. The world around them darkened, and only the two were left there, staring. Leon closes the gap, embracing Ivan in a kiss, bringing him to the wall. He puts a hand over him to block him from going to any other way and stood in this position for a good 3 minutes. Ivan smiles into the kiss and takes a hold of Leon's lip. Leon takes it as a challenge and steps up his game. Claire and Sherry are done investigating as they head back, confused as why the two didn't follow. Claire peaks around the corner and brings her head back, mouth wide open. Sherry confused, peaks too.

"What are they doing?" Sherry questions.

" I knew it!" Claire talks to herself.

"What? Knew what?" The girls innocence shows.

"Nothing. They just are really good friends."

"Oooh."

The scene goes back to Ivan and Leon as they are still making out, totally void of the world around them. Leon grabs Ivan's waist and brings it to his, closing the distance fully. Eyes closed, enjoying this moment, they continued on. Leon grabs a hold of Ivan's face and turns it, wanting to continue on. Ivan opens one eye and realizes Leon is too into it, feeling something jabbing his thigh. He puts a hand on his chest, moving Leon's hair from his eyes with his other hand and breaking the kiss. Ivan looks up to Leon.

"Huh. I never knew you...-" Ivan looks at Leon.

"I never knew either. But ever since I saw you, I knew I felt something different." Leon states quietly.

"I got hints from when you were carrying me, but I thought you were just being annoying." Ivan laughs.

"Hey, you can't pass on a opportunity like that."

Leon and Ivan laugh for a brief moment. The world around them didn't matter, what they had right now blew the bad situations they had away, freeing them of pain.

Claire decides to play it cool, calling the two over.

"You two okay over there?" Claire calls out. Leon and Ivan look at each other, returning back to the real world. They make their way toward Claire and Leon goes up ahead. Claire nudges Ivan's elbow and his face turns a bright red.

"Oh my god you didn't." Ivan said embarrassed.

"Niiiice." Claire compliments. A hard shade of red fills Ivan, and he looks ahead to see Leon still walking and his RPD suit moving with his muscles.

"I think you'll make a great couple!" Claire adds.

"Claireeeeee!" Ivan calls out.

Sherry runs up to Leon and tugs on his shirt, whispering something into his ear, he turns his head to me with a slight shade of red and looks back to Sherry.

"Umm, I think we're something like that. I don't know if he actually agreed to it." Leon responds.

Ivan runs up to Leon and Claire and they stop around the fence.

"Sherry, that's your name right?" Ivan questions, crouching to her height.

"Yes. What are yours?"

"I'm Ivan."

"I'm Leon."

"I'm Claire."

All three respond.

"Sherry, how long have you been in there?" Ivan asks.

"I've been in there hiding ever since the accidents happened. I was waiting for my mommy and daddy but they didn't come, so I ran back inside and just went to my room. I woke up and no one was in there besides a man calling out my name. I didn't know him so I hid because I was scared." Sherry explains.

"Well you did the right thing. I'm glad to have found you. Do you have contact with your mommy and daddy?" Ivan asks.

"They work for Umbrella!"

"The big pharmaceutical company?" Claire ask.

"Yeah, I don't get to see them often. I was really hoping they would be there to pick me up." Sherry adds.

"Don't worry, I don't get to see my parents often either." Claire adds and Ivan agrees. Leon is just staring again, lost in the conversation.

"I'm glad you three helped me."

"I'm glad you three helped me too. I really appreciate it Sherry." Sherry smiles at Ivan, obviously proud of her work.

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Ivan pulls out the pendant from his pants pocket, handing it to Sherry.

"My necklace! Oh thank you!" Sherry jumps with joy.

The wall behind them bursts open, a grey figure with a trench coat and fedora walks through.

"Holy shit! It's him again!" Leon calls out.

"Sherry we have to run!" Claire calls out and they all make haste ahead. The figure behind them follows and all three run ahead, away from him.

"The elevator!" Ivan points to it and the end of the hall. They all run into it and close it, the giant comes and grabs a hold of the closing doors, opening it slowly. He peaks his head through, revealing his lifeless eyes, and expressionless face. Sherry screams as Ivan readys his gun. The figure stops his attack and falls to the ground. They look confused as they see a giant claw protruding from his waist. The claw rips out his side and the figure loosens his grip on the door. The monster from before peeks his head through the corner of the monster and a giant eye makes eye contact with them. The monster throws the tyrant to the side and readys for an attack.

"Daddy! No!" Sherry calls out. He jumps on the elevator.

"Not again!" Ivan calls out as the elevator begins to shake.

"Hold on!" Leon calls out as the elevator drops all the way down, crashing.

5 minutes has passed and Leon, Claire, and Ivan lay there. Sherry runs up to Claire and yells out.

"Wake up! Wake up!" Sherry tried to wake anyone. She notices a figure and runs off. Soon after, Claire is waken back up due to a bright light in her eyes.

"Wake up! Wake up!" The woman calls out.

"Not infected..." The woman states.

"Sherry?" Claire begins to talk, regaining consciousness.

"Where's Sherry?" Claire asks.

"Sherry... Sherry's fine... Was an impressive display of strength." The woman talks to herself, trying to ignore Claire.

Claire looks at Leon and Ivan, unconsciously sleeping.

"Leon! Ivan!" Claire calls out.

"They're fine." The woman walks around.

"We have to assess the situation."

"Who are you? I'm Claire." She asks.

"I didn't foresee this..." The woman continues.

"Where is she? Hello?" Claire asks.

"What...? Oh, Annette. Tell me, what happened to William?"

"I don't know. Who is that?"

"The creature responsible for the situation."

"I... Can you help me find Sherry?" Claire asks.

"Seems to be evolving faster than expected."

The woman adds to her notes. Leon and Ivan groan in the back, starting to awake. Annette begins to head off.

"Where are you going?" Claire pauses to ask.

"Listen, I don't have time to play 20 questions." Annete said in a rush. "Everything is under control." Claire, disregarding everything, inputs her need to find Sherry.

"My daughter is not your concern!" With that, Annette takes her leave. Ivan and Leon finally wake up.

"Guys!" Claire runs to them. Ivan looks around and Leon gets up.

"Where's Sherry?" Leon asks.

"I don't know! But we have to find her. There was a woman here but she's gone. Sherry's her daughter. She also mentioned something about William, thought I didn't catch everything she said." Ivan, finally grasping the world around him, tunes in.

Leon turns around and helps Ivan up, making sure he's alright.

"I'm fine. Thank you." Ivan smiles at Leon.

"Sherry is somewhere down here, we need to find her." Claire adds, looking around.

"We have to go." Leon puts in.

With that, they jump down some platforms and head off.
