Chapter 4: Reporters and Psychotic Episodes

Claire continued to stare into Alexia's eyes. Alexia was very focused on Claire. Claire scanned Alexia's eyes for any traces of anger. She found only love and adoration in them. Once she was satisfied Alexia was calm, Claire led Alexia to the airport exit. As they walked, Claire got distracted by a News Reporter reporting on Alexia's release. The Reporter said, "Today marks the day that world-renowned prodigy Alexia Ashford has been officially released. Much to the outrage of many people who considered her to be one of Umbrella's biggest monsters. However, evidence has come to light revealing that Alexia had been unjustly arrested for crimes she had no control over. Umbrella had taken advantage of a mentally ill child. Her cruel father, Alexander had forced her to work for them and had made her mental illness worst with cruel acts. Once she was no longer useful, she was used as a test subject in a cruel experiment. Thanks to the actions of Claire Redfield, survivor of Raccoon City, Alexia was freed from her prison. Only for her to be lock up once again. Thanks to the lobbying of Claire who has been outspoken in her desire in freeing Alexia and the evidence recovered, Alexia has finally been freed into the care of Claire herself. We here hope for the best for the poorly treated Alexia in her future endeavours now she is no longer under the thumb of Umbrella" Claire nodded along to this, happy that some people views might change. She was happy that with the help of Simmons and his associates, Claire had no trouble in helping Alexia out. Simmons was a good ally against the bio terrorists as would do anything it takes to keep the peace. He also genuinely cared for Sherry and prevented The US Government from experimenting on her. Alexia clutched her fists as she hated her father. She growled softy. Claire noticed a more intense rage slimmer in the eyes of Alexia at the mention of Alexander. Claire embraced her. Claire rubbed Alexia's back and Alexia slowly calmed down. Clearly Alexia had issues against her father if just mentioning him made her angry. Alexia buried her face in Claire's neck and sighed in contentment.

The News Reporter continued with "However Neil Fisher, Senior member of both TerraSave and the Federal Bioterrorism Commission has a different view. We have here live footage of Neil Fisher giving a speech right outside of The FBC Headquarters."

It cut to Neil saying to a crowd, "Alexia is still a dangerous individual inflected with an experimental virus. We had no idea how this infliction has affected her. Physically or mentally. All we know is that she is an incredible genius of unmatched intellect, so I am certain that it wouldn't be in her own interest to be fooling us all. She could have used Miss Redfield to escape confinement. In any case even without infection, her mental instability still makes her violate person. What is stopping her from hurting Miss Redfield or anyone." Claire mostly indifferent feelings for Neil soured at this. She thought he was a nice guy but if he believed Alexia to be using or even hurt her. True she was inflected and mentally unstable, but Claire knew how to deal with Alexia's problems.

Alexia growled, "I will never hurt Claire, stupid pathetic insect…." She trailed off and said more unsure, "You believe me, right?"

"Of course, I believe you." Claire said being truthful and moving away not wanting to listen to Neil anymore. As they were leaving, they got bothered by a news reporter and her cameraman.

"This is Evelyn Edwards and today we have an exclusive Lady Alexia Ashford." She said pushing a mic right into Alexia's face. Alexia squeaked in fear at her suddenly appearance and hid behind an annoyed Claire.

Claire said trying to remain calm, "Excuse me we are trying to leave."

Miss Edwards ignored Claire and continued with, "Lady Ashford may we have word with you."

Claire then said gritting her teeth not liking the fact she is bothering Alexia, "Leave her alone." However, the reporter practically shoved Claire out of the way to get to Alexia. Claire made a fist and was about to punch the lights out of the annoying reporter when she saw Alexia's eyes fill with rage at the Miss Edwards' actions. Alexia was staring at the reporter with such malice that she hadn't seen on Alexia face since Alexia discovered Steve was responsible for Alfred's death. That didn't end too well for Steve. Claire pointed in a random direction and said, "Hey is that Senator Ron Davis." As Senator Davis was more high-profile news story since there were some human rights demonstrators outside waiting for him to arrive. They were here to protest his involvement and support of WilPharma. Plus, with the involvement in the destruction of Racoon City meant that he was news story gold. The reporter and her cameraman turned their attention to where Claire was pointing where amazingly there was Senator Davis in a poor disguise and two bodyguards trying unsuccessfully to sneak through the airport. Miss Edwards and her cameraman rushed over him leaving Claire and a still fluming Alexia. Claire said softly, "Alexia look at me." Alexia turned her attention to Claire. Alexia eyes were full of a dark primal rage. They contained no recognition of anything. She was on the brink of total snapping all due to the reporter shoving her and letting this rage consume her. In some ways it was touching that Alexia cared for Claire so much. Nevertheless, Claire had to calm her down before she mutated and tried to murder everyone. She continued to talk softy, "It's me Claire." At the mention of her name, Alexia titled her head in the same adorable way as she usual does when trying to remember something. Including the same frown. Alexia stared into her eyes and Claire did not blink during this. The primal rage melted away slightly by affection filled Alexia's eyes.

"My Claire." Alexia said in a possessive dark voice. She pulled Claire in a bone crushing hug. A literal bone crushing hug as Alexia was squeezing with nearly all her strength. "Mine."

"Alexia" she wheezed, and Alexia intermediately let her go. She was going to get bruises Claire thought to herself. Alexia looked extremely worried and the rage was gone. It had been replaced by concern.

"You Alright?" Alexia said fretting and eyes tearing up. "I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Claire said, "No you did not. Let's get out of here and head off home" Alexia grabbed Claire and dragged her towards the exit.
