"Yeah, right in front of Aya. She got all up in my face, asking about blood transfusions, transplants, and my medical history. I had to get out of there, before she dragged me to get poked and prodded."
"Are you serious?"
"She looked like she was about five seconds from dragging me to County Hospital." Leon moaned and settled down. "She was begining to scare me. I had to leave."
"Still," Sherri sat down on the couch at by Leon's feet. "Are you okay, you haven't been the same since your liver got infected."
"Yeah, I'm fine, I just have hot flashes."
Aya's car screeched to a stop as she arrived in front of Leon's apartment complex. Something was seriously wrong here and she didn't like it one bit. For his to have hot flashes, take pills, then run out of there when she started to ask questions didn't sit right. She needed answers now. What if he......no, it can't be......it can't......... She tought as she started up the stairs and arrived at his appartment, praying he was home. *Bang, bang, bang* "Leon, are you there? It's me, Aya!"
"Go Away!" He called out from the safe confines of his home, which caused Aya to bang on the door more.
"I'm not leaving till you open this door Leon!" No answer came forth which caused Aya to knock louder. "Leon! I'm deadly serious about your condition! Please, let me in." A click came forth, and the door opened as Leon gave in to Aya's bickering.
"Listen Aya, I had about enough of you today as I can stand." Leon sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair, "First, our arguement, then you bugging me about my attacks, I just.....had it! I want to be alone for a while, I'll see you tomarrow at work." Finished, Leon begain to close the door when Aya's foot shot out to prevent him from doing so.
"No, we need to talk. NOW!"
"I don't want to!" Leon growled, "I just want to lay back down on my couch and rest a while."
"No, We're going to talk! It's very, FUCKING, importaint Leon! So, let. me. in!" Aya gave a final shove on the door and Leon jumped back to avoid the wood from hitting him. "Listen, before Melissa Pierce became Eve, she had hot flashes and took the same medication you do. And I had hot flashes when my powers started to awaken. You want to listen now?" Leon just stood there speechless as Aya stood there breathing heavily. "Please, Leon, tell me, did you have any medical procedures that caused you take those pills?" Leon sighed as he walked to his couch and sat down.
"After Raccoon City, Sherri and I checked into a hospital in New York to get checked over and a doctor discovered I had developed a bad liver infection. I had to get a transplant, that's why I take the pills. To keep from rejection. I just don't like to talk about it like I'm handicapped or something. You happy now?" Aya shook her head.
"No, who was the doctor?"
"I can't remember his name, it was like Clap, or Crap or........."
"Klamp? Was it Hans Klamp?" Aya asked her voice now shaking. Oh, My........what if he did to Leon what he did to Melissa...What if....oh, Dear God, please no........
"I really don't know, I'd have to look at my records and as you can see, I haven't exactly finished unpacking."
"Then, I'll help you unpack, we need to find out." Aya stated as she grabbed a box atop a stack of simular boxes and placed it on the coffee table while Leon shook his head.
"You're crazy, first off, Eve needs a uterus and overies to do what she tried to do, twice and as you can see, I'm kinda lacking those."
"Oh, shut up Leon and grab a box." Aya spat as she rumaged trough the contents of the box, "We need to find out if Hans Klamp operated on you, if the kidney was my sister's, and if so, why." That statement gave Leon pause.
"That's right, the first Eve was your sister..."
"Yes," Aya then cursed and grabbed another box, "Not there......... Leon, are you going to help me or what?" Sighing his defeat, Leon grabbed a box and opened it...
"Found them!" Leon yelled as he held up the tresured papers as if he found gold. Scanning over them, Leon's smile faded as he found what he and Aya had been searching for. Aya stared and saw the change in Leon's demeaner.
"Leon, what..."
"It's Hans Klamp." Leon said plainly, as he slowly passed the papers to Aya, who scanned them over.
"Two months before Melissa........" Aya spoke as she read then saw the shock in Leon's face, frozen and scared, "Leon?"
"What the hell is in me?" Leon gasped and wrapped his hands around his stomach, "What the hell's gonna happen to me now! Am I going to become like Melissa, what the hell is going to happen?"
"Leon, it's okay, we'll figure out...." Aya tried to settle Leon down, but was unsuccessful.
"Get it out!"
"What?" Aya asked puzzled.
"I want it out, I don't care if you have to use a fucking pocket knife, GET IT OUT!" Leon screamed as he clutched his stomach.
"Leon, calm down." Aya shouted, grabbing the sleve of his shirt. "M.I.S.T. has alot of connections, we can get another liver soon, just give us time."
"Just..." Leon was close to crying in fear, but his will prevented it, "I'm scared Aya, I'm scared, I need it out of my body." Aya nodded and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Leon, we still don't know if my sister is the donor, come back with me to M.I.S.T. and we'll use the computers to find out if it was Maya or someone else." Aya then wrapped her arms around Leon's waist. "It'll be okay, like you said, Eve needs a uterus and you don't have balls, much less that." Leon gave out a light chuckle as the joke.
"You're so mean to me Aya." Leon sighed and wiped the tears that threatened to spill.
"Yeah, I know." The blond admitted as the drew her arms away from Leon, "Worst senario is that you'll get powers like me, and that ain't so bad, just think of the BP you be ranking in."
"Yeah, it ain't gonna be so bad, just the fact you're the only one who can stop a ten story N.M.C. and you'll be the first on call."
"Leon...."
"I....just just need....I want to...." Sighed, Leon spat out, "I'm just going to watch some TV and go to bed." Sighing, Leon reached out for the remote and clicked the TV on. "I.........I need to forget. I want to forget." Smiling, Aya scooted closer to Leon and placed her head on his shoulder and took his hand in hers.
"Don't worry Leon, everything will be okay, you'll see."
"I hope so...."
