Escape from the cold.

This idea came to me when I was playing on code veronica a while ago and I noticed something's seemed out of place. Like what alexia was doing in between both fights, also in the hanger room you can see Alfred's plane through a window. so i came up with this on what could have happened between then and after.

Disclaimer: I don't resident evil or any of it's characters. and i am not making any money from this.

Alexia let out a low growl as she watched Chris exit through the portrait door with narrowed eyes and wobbly stood up. She just had a fight with him and had to feign dying to escape death itself! She had beaten Wesker like the mere insect he was but how couldn't she, probably the world's most powerful being lose to a mere cop armed with just a pop gun!… Wait the magnum was no mere popgun and she realised that now. From now on she was going to look at it in a new light…

"God that stings…" Alexia mumbled while rubbing a magnum imbedded in her stomach as she shifted back into her human form. She was to weak to be able to transform back for at least a couple of hours after that shooting so she had to stay away from Chris and most importantly Wesker. How come he was still alive any way? She watched him get skewered by a tyrant through a recording! It must be the work of Brikin… impressive even she had to admit. She would find out how he did it later……

..…But first she had to find some clothes. And she knew just the place.

Alexia head rotated on her shoulders as her eyes searched for something on the floor while ignoring the searing pain in her sides. She spotted what she was looking for wrapped up in a piece of her burned clothing and picked it up. It was the master key to the base, which she had found on Alfred's body.

Now that he was gone she felt… empty. She hadn't felt it before because she had been to busy contemplating revenge on the cretinsthat were responciable for his death and she felt like she hadn't needed him then. But now… It was even stronger with the failure of the T-veronica virus.

Quickly Alexia shoved the key in the lock of the door, shoved it open roughly and walked through and then locked it again, wanting to make things harder for Chris. She could just she what she wanted ahead of her, she limped forward slowly and grabbed a biohazard suit off the wall. It wasn't the most comfortable article of clothing but it would have to do, for now.

She could hear the hum of the elevator, which lead to Alfred as she put on the suit. She felt like something was eating her partly inside…... Oh why not? She pushed the button on the wall and the elevator doors slid open, letting her limp in while the sliding door shut as she pushed the button to go. Steam came out from all sides of the elevator as it rose and the doors slid open and she stepped out.

She ignored the weird sounds coming from her hive as she slowly and painfully limped past towards the cryogenic sleeping room. She was their queen so they wouldn't bother her. As she turned round the corner towards it she say something which made her insides squirm with delight. A green herb! It would help numb the pain while her body was being healed by the virus in it.

"Ha! Stupid Redfield!" she said with a victorious smile on her face as she began to eat it, every bit seemed to make some of the pain in her body lift by a considerable amount. "It still confuses me that a simple green plant can help heal a serious in such a short space of time."She shrugged that thought off and entered the room and let out a gasp. Chris had just left him lying on the floor! Hadn't he any respect for the dead!… Well her brother at least anyway.

She let out an agitated sigh as she pushed down a hidden panel, making a syringe lift out of the machinery.Here eyes lingered for a secound, gazing into the shiny golden-honey coloured solution as she carefully picked it up and turned around to Alfred's body. She'd been to busy dealing with those cretins Claire and Steve to do this before so she had just put Alfred's body in the cryogenic freezer to stop T-virus infection. And besides, she hadn't really felt this strongly about bringing him back before.

The L-virus. One of her earliest works. She and Alfred where the only one's who even knew of its existence. she had discovered a certain strand in the chemical make up of the T and Proginator viruses at the age of twelve. after month's of careful observation and research she had managed to merge the two together and create a virus which brings back the dead to there old state. Provided that mostthe important organs can function properly and there is a large enough blood supply.

It's effects where kind of similar to Brikins G-virus that she had found on umbrella's database now that she thought about it. it was unfortunate that she hadn't been able to finish the project completely since at the time her intrest had shifted to the newly discovered T-veronica virus to consider mass production. This was the only sample in exsistance.

Alexia's cold eyes stayed locked onto Alfred body as she slowly approached him with a slight pain in every step and kneeled down with the syringe raised. "He is an Ashford so he is worthy of this honour." Alexia thought as the syringe went down into his neck and the golden drug into his blood circulation by vein.

…… Nothing. Why wasn't it working?… no… she couldn't have failed again!

Suddenly Alfred began to let out short ragged breaths, making Alexia's posture relax.

"Ugh… did someone get the number plate of that truck which hit me?" Alfred groaned with pain circulation all around his body as felt his warm chest."Wait a minute, i'm still alive! but how?"

"Simple, i brought you back to life, brother." Alexia said while grinning wickedly as Alfred lifted his head up to find the source of the noise.

"Alexia!" he let out a geniune smile at the sight of his sister."Your…" It turned to a frowned look of confusion at the sight of what his sister was wearing. "Why are you wearing a biohazard suit?"

"Why are you wearing makeup?"

"Point taken."

"It's good to have you back, I needed a good laugh." she said chuckling lightly as she picked him up and began to half carry half drag him towards the door. "So how was death?"

"Painfully boring and bleak." Alfred said weakly as the door slid open with her supporting him. "I'm a bit surprised you brought me back though. Ow!" he exclaimed while clutching his side.

The weird sounds of the hive entered Alexia ears as she turned towards Alfred with her Ice cold eyes. "Don't worry, the pain is only temporary while your body is being fixed up and are you doubting me, brother?". Alfred let out a squeak with how icy her tone of voice was.

Alfred shot her a nervous glance as the elevator entered their sight. "No not at all dear sister!" Alfred squeaked in a higher tone than usually with his eyes scrunched up in pain coming from his chest.

The doors slowly slid open. "Good."He could tell immediately by her tone told him that this conversation was over.

"So where are we heading?" Alfred asked her wincing slightly, trying to strike up some kind of conversation as they stepped into the lift and the doors shut behind them.

"Down." She told him simply as the lift began to descend to the second floor of the base.

After that it was pretty much silent. The elevator doors slid open again and the twins walked and limped out and headed towards the painting room. Ignoring the collapsed statue in the floor, the twins headed out through the electronic door and into the freezer.

Alfred shivered in response to how cold it was. "brrrr! Being reborn sucks! First extreme pain now… Wait… is that a green herb?" Alfred exclaimed in confusion as he spotted anouther little green pot plant in the corner of the corridor. How it had managed to grow here in this cold condition was beyond him. But what confused Alexia more was the fact that Chris hadn't taken it and eaten it yet. How many herbs where growing here anyway? There hadn't been this many 15 years ago…

"Interesting…" Alexia mumbled as she felt Alfred loosen from her grip. "Brother where are you going?"

"Getting this, can't stand the pain anymore." Alfred mumbled back as he slowly limped to the herb. Every step causing an outburst of pain in his chest cavity as he bent down and roughly shoved it into his mouth when it subsided, partly. "Ah… that's better!"

"Happy now?" Alexia asked as she walked up to him with his hand on his chest, kind of like her.

"Partly." He shrugged then turned" Let's go Alexia!" she nodded as they began to head down the icy corridor and froze on the spot when they saw the door knob being pulled down. Alexia, who had a very good idea who it was, grabbed her brothers hand and began to drag him away.

"Hey! Why are you…"

"Be quiet!" she scowled him as Alfred silently watched a dark haired male enter the room, then walk into the electoral supply room. Next thing they knew the power went out. "What is the Redfield up to?"

"Another Redfield!" Alfred yelps as Alexia nods in response to his questions. "How many are there?" Alfred asks as Chris walks out of the power room mumbling something. If he hadn't been to dead set on free Claire he probaly would have noticed to blond heads peering at him around to corner.

"Stupid locked door… now I got to activate the self-destruct system just to free Claire!" he grumbled as he slammed the door shut behind him, leaving a confused Alfred and startled Alexia. She just let him escape through her hands! But she couldn't take him on in this weakened condition, despite the fact she had partly recovered from Chris little shoot out with his little magnum. Actually the real reason why she hadn't attacked though was that she had seen his magnum peeking out of his side pack and she did not want to get blasted like that again… and he was going to blow up the base!

"… I think he's gone Alexia." Alfred said after a minute and began to approach the door with Alexia in tow. Poking his head out of the door slowly, Alfred quickly pressed the elevator button when he saw the coast was clear and stridden in as soon as it open with his sister. They leaned against the left and right side of the wall as the elevator descended to the second floor. The corridor was completely silent as the Ashford twins stepped into it and began to walk down it in silence until Alexia stopped suddenly in front of the surveillance room door. "What it is Alexia?"

"I want to find out where that pest wesker is…" Alexia mumbled as the doors slid open and she strode in towards the elevator to the monitors.

"Wesker?" Alfred asked as he ran to catch up with Alexia as they rode up the elevator.

"He's the one who attacked the island to get my virus." Alexia explained as she pressed a button near the side of the monitors, making them come to life then paused for a second. "I watched you trying to kill Claire, you had you really need to stop guessing things, it could be unhealthy for you." Alfred turned slightly red in embarrassment as she lets out a sly grin. "I suggest you be more careful next time."

Heignored this comment as he watching the monitor switch to different cameras around the base until it finally stopped after five minutes and he saw Chris entering his old room and raised an eyebrow. Why on earth would he want to go there? It's not like it has anything important in there… wait it does have the golden dragon fly piece in the attic! Then he really was going to activate the self-destruct system! They had to get out of here and quick… "Where is he?" Alexia muttered in frustration as the camera switched to the underwater docking room and spotted a submarine with the wordHCF. Whatever that is on it's side docked with a dozen troops marching out of it, including wesker who looked liveried and severely beat up from the fight with her. "Aha! There he… is? What are you laughing at brother?" Alexia asked as Alfred burst out into hysterical laughing suddenly.

"The fool of a redfield had been to busy arranging the Dragonfly object he walked directly into a wall!" He managed to gasp out while still laughing as Alexia watched Chris through the monitor with an amused look. It was true, he had. She could see him rubbing his head while he pocketed the completed golden dragon fly as he walked through the lab which they were born in then exited into the Spencer recreation painting hall. Alfred laughter stopped abruptly when he saw his sister turn and head towards the lift. "Where are you going now?"

"I'm going to kill that cretin once and for all." She stated calmly as Alfred developed a look of worry on his face. Chris was already near the security room and if Alexia and him fought there was a good chance thathe would have already activated the self-destruct system and an even greater chance that his sister would be destroyed with him and the base. He couldn't, he wouldn't let that happen to his dear sister. As much as he wanted them to suffer he wouldn't risk his sisters life.

"Alexia don't go!" He exclaimed as Alexia shot him a confused and annoyed look. Chris was going up the stairs…

"And why not Brother?" she asked him coldly as he flinched partly. Chris was on the platform above the hive…

"Think about it, by the time you'll get there he'll have already activated the self-destruct system and possibly escaped! Even if you make it there in time there's still a good chance you'll die in the process!" he quickly thought up as Alexia blinked in surprise. She hadn't thought about that yet... "Can't you just… send one of your minions to do it for you?"

Alexia blinked, then smiled as a plan quickly formed in her mind. Inside the hive there was another queen to replace her if something happened to her but she hadn't been planning on even breathing life into it yet for a long time. But now she had a proper use for it. She would free it and it would kill both redfields while she escaped with her brother and it would be destroyed with the base. It was almost to perfect, squashing 3 bugs with one stone… It was almost to perfect. She raised her left hand into the air.

"What are you doing Alexia?" Alfred asked in confusion then it turned into alarm as a grey snake likes thing burst through the wall suddenly and faced Alexia. She began to speak to it in tongues. "Huh…?" the alarms started to sound off.

"The self-destruct sequence has been activated. All doors are now, unlocked."

Alexia finished the conversation with a nod as the snake slid off and turned to the monitor while beckoning Alfred to watch with her. They watched Chris run out of the control centre as Claire rushed up the stairs to join him. Suddenly the thing burst through the floor and began to what looked like in Alfred's view, throw up. Alexia watched as her minion placed the fake queen on the floor then bite it's head, and began to program it's DNA like her's. Alfred however was watching the redfield siblings release the linear launcher then turned his attention back to the now ready fake ant queen. Then he realised that they needed to get moving, now. "We need to leave Alexia, before it's to late."

Relunctly, Alexia tore her eyes away from the monitor as they headed down the lift and out of the monitoring room. They rushed out of the corridor, ignored the dangling remains of there useless father as they leapt over the ice and rushed along the path to the double doors at the end of the room and into the room which Alfred had crashed the sea plane into. They climbed the ladder up as they ignored the Antarctic cold and headed into the hanger room. Alfred pushed a button on the wall as he rushed towards one of his planes, making the sky light slid open as they climbed into the plane below them.

Alfred hopped into the control seat as the base shook since Alexia hadn't been bothered enough to learn how to fly and began to work the controls as the engine fired up. As the jet took off into the air Alexia managed to catch a glimpse of another jet as it began to move along on a conveyor belt and stopped in the centre of the room like it had always been like that…

A couple of minutes later they could hear an explosion in the distance. Their birthplace, was gone. Not that alexia cared much, she would find out what happened to Redfield and the fake queen later then finish off the pest known as Albert Wesker…
