Author's Note: This is my take on what happens after Resident Evil: Code Veronica. An old enemy will be coming back very soon. Mwahahaha....
Also, there are extreme spoilers on what happened in Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil: CV, so don't blame me if I ruined the entire game for you.
Author's Additional Note: I am working harder then ever on this multi-chaptered story, as this is my best work yet. Expect many chapters with a lot of action, suspense, and more...just more. I am going to make this the best I can, for all of you that read this. I promise you...you won't be disappointed with the end result. I even outlined the whole story, and I plan to follow every part of the outline, no matter how difficult it may be to put it on paper (or Notepad). I can't reveal the whole outline I have all written out, as it spoils a lot of the upcoming chapters, but let me just say that you'll love it. Remember, I love getting comments from you guys, since it helps me write the story better as well as with enthusiasm. Comments are always good for an author's soul, whether they like to admit it or not...
Also, I hope that the length is better. I'm trying to write larger chapters, because I hate how small some of my previous chapters are. I want them all big and nice and readable...
This is the revised version of chapter seven...enjoy...
Anyways, on with the chapter...

-Chapter Seven-
-The Hotel in Paris, France-
Claire Redfield opened her eyes slowly, still tired from a restless night filled with horrible dreams of Steve dying again...
She could still remember how her dream felt. Steve was trying to save her this time, except he was human...and Alexia Ashford and Wesker were there too. She dreamt about him, running towards her, only to be captured by Alexia, who started to whip him with her large tentacles, putting huge lacerations on him...then, Wesker swiftly stole him away...and started to experiment on him...putting large needles in him...
Wiping her tears away, she looked up at the ceiling, wondering what was happening to Steve...
Wesker had him, and was probably trying to extract T-Veronica virus samples from Steve...
She hated the fact that she wasn't able to save Steve from Alexia, and then not being able to save Steve's body from being further defiled by Wesker and whoever he was now working for...
Sighing heavily, she got out of bed, put on some decent clothes, and trying her best not to wake up her still sleeping brother, quietly crept out of her room, and was surprised to see that Leon Kennedy had opened the door to his room at the same time.
Leon's expression was one of surprise and...happiness?
She was confused. After all...it was just her coming out of the room and out into the hallway. It wasn't anything special, really.
"Good morning Claire..." said Leon, walking up to her, surprised at how nice Claire looked this morning, "You look nice today..."
Claire blushed in surprise. Leon S. Kennedy was acting strangely, but not in a bad way though.
"Thank you, Leon...you don't look too bad yourself..." replied Claire cheerfully, while playfully hitting his arm.
Leon, much to Claire's surprise, blushed deeply.
"Hey, uh...you feeling okay Leon?" she asked, a bit worried about whether or not it was just a simple blush.
"I'm feeling great, actually." he said, flashing his million-dollar smile at her, "Say, feel like getting some breakfast?"
Claire smiled softly at the offer given to her by Leon.
Claire remembered that Leon S. Kennedy had lost someone too...Ada Wong, so it was like Leon and Claire had yet another thing to add to the list of things they had in common.
"Sure, Mr. Rookie cop...but you're buying though...hehe..." she said playfully, as they both left the hallway to go get some breakfast.
-Ada's Office, in the HCF Facility in Paris-
"I can't believe he's here..." she said to herself quietly, as she curled up in her chair.
She thought that she should be happy that the guy that she fell for in Raccoon City was back.
She didn't know whether to feel frightened, sad, or happy....
However...it wasn't like she was exactly a good person to begin with. She had done a lot of devious things in her time, like how she had become the girlfriend of a researcher named John, who happened to work at the Spencer Mansion facility. She had used him so that she could learn more about Umbrella and what they had been working on. She thought he was still alive by the time she had gotten to Raccoon City, but she was mistaken, as Annette Birkin had later revealed that John had been dead a long time ago, and tragically had been turned into a zombie.
She felt a slight numbness that someone as sweet as John could just die like that, but she quickly brushed those feelings aside.
After all, she had had a job to do, and that was to get the G-Virus sample to HCF.
However, she felt something different from Leon Kennedy. Despite the fact that she would constantly be getting away from him to explore the Umbrella Facility and secure a sample of the G-Virus, he kept finding her, trying to protect her like he was some knight in shining armor.
She was quite capable of protecting herself though, but she had to admit, it was cute.
Her short lived relationship with Leon fell to hell the minute they had met up with Mr. X, a killer tyrant sent by Umbrella to obtain a sample of the same virus that Ada was after.
She had managed to obtain a sample of the G-Virus accidentally via Sherry's pendant, and was thus hunted down by Mr. X until... it happened...
She closed her eyes tightly as she remembered it as if it happened yesterday.
Mr. X had tried to kill Leon, thinking he had the G-Virus, but Ada, who had fallen in love with Leon, decided to help her friend by distracting Mr. X by firing her handgun at it's face. In a blind rage, it picked up Ada and violently swung her against a control panel. With blood gushing down from its face, Mr. X fell off the platform and on to hot lava, supposedly dead.
Leon raced to her side and tried to help her, but she was beyond help. In her last moments of life, she had told Leon that she had fallen in love with him, then it became all dark until...
Wesker had appeared, apparently still in Raccoon City. HCF still had use for her, so Wesker found her and injected the "Miracle" virus into her, reviving her, as well as leaving her with yellow pupils, a minor side effect of the virus.
Before she had left with Wesker on a helicopter, she had given Leon a Rocket Launcher to use against Mr. X, who had transformed into something quite similar to the first Tyrant that had killed Wesker.
Ada Wong curled up in her chair a little more, not sure what to feel after learning from Wesker that Leon S. Kennedy was in Paris, along with the S.T.A.R.S. members and Claire Redfield. She had tried letting go of her past before, shedding tears in the process, but now that Leon was back...she felt like crying again...
While she was remembering all this, she also started to think about her meeting with Wesker that she had a few hours ago. It was interesting to hear about how Steve Burnside had been brought back to life and that he was currently being held in a high security room to be further experimented on. Especially the two scientists who were experimenting on him were mentioning this Steve Burnside person a lot these days. She noticed how Wesker was mentioning Steve quite a lot, as if Steve was a vital part of Wesker's plans.
Her thoughts were interrupted, as she suddenly started thinking about Leon Kennedy again.
As she was starting to cry, she couldn't help wonder why Wesker looked so angry when he mumbled something that sounded like "the Queen" under his breath...
-In a HCF Holding Cell-
Steven Burnside paced back and forth slowly while stretching, trying to get all the feeling in his body back, and still feeling extremely exhausted by his whole ordeal.
He still couldn't believe that he was actually dead. It didn't feel like it. It just felt like he had been asleep for a long time...
It worried him a bit, that it just felt like sleeping. Maybe all those religions saying things about there being an afterlife were wrong?
Then again, maybe they were still right. After all...this was a special circumstance. Maybe the T-Veronica virus had kept him in stasis while repairing his body, making him look as if he was dead?
He had no time to dwell on matters like these, though. The only thing on his mind right now was....her....
Claire Redfield...the girl who he had helped escape from Rockfort Island, as well as help her against numerous monsters, as well as Alfred Ashford...
"Claire.." he quietly said aloud.
Claire Redfield...he was in love with Claire Redfield. He remembered how, right before he died, he had said the words "I love you...Claire...". It was the first time he had ever said them, and at the time, he thought it would also be his last.
Now...he had a chance to say those loving words again...but not if he was still stuck in this prision cell.
They say that relationships formed under tense situations never last but...this was different...this wasn't about looks or sex or anything like that...this was...love...
He fell in love with her...the time they had spent together, trying to escape from the island...they had grown so close in such a short period of time.
Steve wanted so desperately to hold Claire in his arms and tell her that he was okay, and that he'd be her 'knight in shining armor' again.
"Right.." he said to himself, forgetting for a split second that Claire wasn't exactly the 'damsel in distress'.
Especially since, at the moment, he was locked away in a holding cell, with freaky scientists saying things like wanting to extract the "T-Veronica" virus from his body. Right now, he was the "damsel in distress" and desperately needed some saving by Claire.
"Claire...be careful...the...the Queen is coming..." he said solemnly, hoping that somehow, someway, Claire Redfield, wherever she was, could hear him, "Alexia Ashford...she's...returned...be careful...please...I hope...you're gonna be okay..."

Be on the lookout for Chapter Eight...
