Do Not Own Resident Evil

After reading Ashfield Legacy, it inspired me to write this.

19/01/2020: Made some minor edits to the story. Renamed from A Cold Reunion

Chapter 7: The Cold Reunion

"Claire?" Leon asked confused. "What are you doing here?" He paused and then said, "With Her?" This made Claire flume at what he was implying.

"What do you mean with her?" Claire said snapping at him. She hated that even Leon believed that the sweet woman in her arms was evil. "Alexia is not a monster and you better not forget it." Leon looked like he did not believe her. This made Claire even angrier.

"She is dangerous monster who could hurt you…." Leon started to say. Alexia gave a faint growl at this before whimpering in pain. Claire rubbed Alexia's back soothingly

Claire said Alexia tenderly, "It's alright. I know you won't hurt me." Alexia murmured something too quiet to hear but sounded happy. Claire turned her attention to Leon. She then glared at him making him nervous. Claire said even more colder than before, "Leon. I will tell you once and only once. Alexia is not a danger to me at all. Plus, you the one that out of nowhere shot her in the first place. So, if anyone was dangerous then it would be you." Her eyes narrowed daring him to say something stupid as she then asked, "Why did you shoot Alexia? She didn't even attack you."

He did not disappoint her as he said, "The president ordered it, and besides don't you think it is strange that this happens as soon as she got released." Claire's rage grew even more. Claire glared even harder. Leon grew even more nervous at this.

Claire said with fake calmness, "So you were sent here to kill Alexia by the president." She had thought President Graham was a good man but if he ordered this then perhaps not. Claire glanced down to Alexia who was had been hurt because of that man and Leon. She looked content. Claire shook her head and smiled at the woman. She was happy to protect Alexia.

He answered Claire with, "I read the files and she is dangerous individual. She was the one who created the T-Veronica and you can't believe…." Claire glanced down at Alexia. If it was true, then what was the true story of The Ashfords and everything with the virus.

She dismissed him with still being cold with him, "Now is not the time. We will talk later where it is safe." It wasn't the time to talk however since zombies or Crimson Heads could interrupt at any time. Claire ignored Leon and his friend. She led them towards the VIP Lounge not looking forward to seeing Senator Davis again. Leon and Angela followed her. Both were on the look out for zombies or Crimson Heads as they walked slowly. Claire couldn't move fast due to Alexia in her arms. Nothing bothered them as they walked. Allowing Claire to think about that according to Leon, Alexia had created the virus. This did not mean anything however since Umbrella could have still forced her too. She would see what Leon would say but it wouldn't change her mind on Alexia since the one she knew was sweet and childish. Plus, This Alexia didn't want to hurt her at all so wasn't totally evil. They made it back to the lounge without encountering anything. The Senator and The Hostess were still alright not that Claire cared. The last couple of years had made her not care for people in general. Mostly down to them disliking the woman in her arms without knowing her. The only people she cared about were Sherry, Moira Burton and Alexia. Well she still held a place for Chris since he was her brother, their relationship had gone downhill since their disagreement over Alexia. He had cut off communication once he found out Claire wanted her free. She knew for the fact she wouldn't go to a city she never been too, or a building owned by a sadistic company to look for him any longer. Leon she still hoped to come around but her experience of everything that has happened left her with little hope that he will.

"Senator" was Leon's greeting to him. Angela just nodded also not liking that man. Claire sat down back in the same chair as before and Alexia did not budge from her position.

Senator Davis demanded, "So what's the plan? Any reinforcements?"

"No reinforcements, just me and Angela." Leon said before Claire stopped listening to their conversation. They were just rambling on about stuff Claire didn't care about.

"Claire" Alexia murmured getting her attention.

"Yes?" Claire acknowledging her.

"I…. I need to tell you something." Alexia stated worried about something.

"What is it?" Claire asked confused. Alexia pulled back, so Claire could see her face. Her eyes were filled with worry and pain. Tears were forming at the corners of her eyes. Fortunately however it appeared she had healed from her injury.

"I'm very worried that I will hurt you." Alexia confessed. She said somewhat depressed, "I am a monster you see."

"You are not a monster." Claire said interrupting her.

"I am a monster. I…." Alexia started to say before her eyes darkened. She said in her dark voice, "I did create the virus and I tested on my so-called father for lying to me. And that's not all, I would have killed you once I woke up if you didn't catch me you know. I would have even killed Alfred for disturbing me." This was new information for Claire but before she could speak or form a thought, Alexia said dreamily in her childish voice, "But that hug was so nice and warm. My thoughts of anger melted away. No one ever hugged me before like that, it had been so nice. Alfred was always creepy about it and my father was…." She growled with a deep rage and once again in her dark voice, "….an evil man who I hated that so much for lying to me. Telling me I was his genius daughter when I was only a mere clone of her. I am so glad I tested the virus on him and watched him transform." Claire kissed Alexia on the lips to shut her up. It had been nice to know her hug did change Alexia's view on things. Carla was right in assuming it had been lucky Alexia hadn't tried killing everyone. Alexia needed her to remain mentally stable and Claire wasn't going to leave her just because she was a clone. The kiss stunned Alexia who froze for a few seconds before kissing back shyly. It was better than the rest of kisses Claire had with some of her old boyfriends. It was soft, and Alexia allowed Claire to led (thankfully as Claire like to lead) since Alexia obviously had no idea of what to do. This supported the fact Alexia wouldn't hurt her intentionally as she was so worried that she will. Alexia was so adorable and helpless that Claire couldn't fault her even if she wanted too. Well helpless emotionally and not psychical as she could crush literal anyone. She would question Alexia about the whole clone business (and the virus / her father) once they were safe at home. The kiss was interrupted by Senator Davis making a disgusted sound. In a flash, Alexia was upon him in seconds. Senator Davis looked with terror as She lifted him up by his neck with one hand. Alexia started growling. Leon and Angela tried to stop her strangling the man. Alexia didn't even notice them.

Alexia said in her dark voice, "Pathetic insect, you dare interrupted my first kiss. And with my beloved Claire. I will kill you." Claire watched on with conflict as she did not want Alexia to murder someone in cold blood but on the other hand a small piece of Claire wanted Senator Davis to suffer as she didn't like him.
