"Well, excuse me. M'lady. Why have you always held my hand, hmmm?" Steve asked while looking at his hand which was tightly gripped by claire and it seemed that claire didn't want to let go of it at all.

"nothing , just so you don't go anywhere" he said with a frown.

Then answered with a chuckle by Steve, he felt guilty and wished he had hit himself on the head in the past. when he was locked up in tricell, he hoped that claire would live in peace and marry someone else but his hopes turned against reality, he found claire become alex wesker experiment pet in 2011. And with the help of gonzales he was able to hack claire and moira's bracelet so that the virus T-phobos don't turn them into zombies or b.o.w after that all this time steve always saw claire from a distance.

Steve is a coward, he admits it even when chris contacted him and asked him to work together in 2017, he never revealed his real name, only his alias is marco or snake, in the end he has a good relationship with chris he is also allowed to see the winter family. Steve was so fascinated that he wanted to take a sample of ethan's blood, he's not human and he know that! And even better, they have children. Like Wesker had Jake Muller.

"Wow, very quiet" commented Steve with a glance around him.

"Yeah, it's a little weird," agreed Claire.

after a while they walked steve stopped and whispered something.

"You can?, I don't know if I can " Claire whispered.

"You can try it, lots of stairs here" whispered Steve.

Then claire nodded, they both counted from one to 5 and they both ran together. At the same time the soldiers emerged from their hiding place and started shooting at them both, but steve skillfully climbed the wall with his bare hands while claire climbed the stairs, after being on top of steve and claire ran to avoid the soldiers.

"ahhhh"

claire's voice was heard by steve and he immediately turned around and saw claire who slipped and was now holding onto billboard so she not fall from rooftop.

"Steve, please," he choked.

"Damn, I can't reach you. I'll use my tentacles but don't be surprised okay. Keep calm" Steve shouted then Claire nodded.

The same tentacles as 22 years ago appeared and claire panicked for a moment but she tried to calm down, when claire was so busy brushing off her past memories that she didn't realize she was now in steve's arms.

"easy, easy claire. The tentacles are gone" Steve smiled as he hugged Claire.

But before they can react, they both fall into a small alley as an explosion occurs behind Steve. Steve swiftly hugged claire and they fell from the 10th floor, but before they touched and fell on the ground steve held on to the ladder while holding claire in the other hand.

"Steve, your hands," said Claire, surprised by Steve's hands which were now in the form of a reptile hunter monster.

"It's fine claire. I did it so I can hold on tight" Steve replied with a quick breath.

But suddenly someone shot the billboard above them so that the billboard fell and made the ladder topple down.

Quickly a steve hugged claire and protected her from the shards of glass until they fell.

Claire woke up after she fell from a fantastic height, she pushed some of the debris out of sight and she turned to her side where Steve was still hugging her and was unconscious.

"steve wake up ... wake up .. steve" claire slapped steve several times until steve groaned as he opened his eyes.

"m'lady stop" steve ordered then claire stopped slapping steve.

"Oh my god, I thought you were dead"

"yeah, then what do you do if I die again? Hug me while crying. Oh god. You're bad claire. even though I almost killed you that time" sarcasm Steve while cleaning his body.

Claire, who heard that, immediately blushed, she couldn't believe steve heard her crying, in annoyance she pinched steve's cheek roughly until steve was in pain.

"You think 20 years ago was a joke, I got a big depression because of you" he angrily slapped Steve.

"Okay, I'm sorry and . Stop it, Claire!. It's not fair you keep slapping and pinching my right cheek. Why isn't my left slapped too?" Steve annoyed while holding his right cheek which was starting to turn red.

Without waiting for the signal claire slapped Steve's left cheek.

"done " claire annoyed then steve raised his thumb.

Suddenly a sobbing female voice called the name of claire , Steve immediately took protective steps by pointing his gun at the woman, but claire lowered Steve's gun and dared to come forward after she heard the sound of sobbing from the mask.

"Hey, who are you?" asked Claire.

"c..c..laire, this..this...me...cyntia alba" said the woman crying.

"Ohh, God Cyntia ... what happened to you" asked claire directly approached the blonde haired woman.

"Claire...forgive me...forgive me...isabella...isabella" he sobbed while stringing words together.

"Isabella...in danger...they injected anti-VT into Isabella...and they are now hunting for Mr. Kennedy too" she sobbed the honey blonde haired woman.

"a..what happened to isabella and what is anti-vt" claire shocked but she still confused with anti-vt.

Surprised Steve came closer to Cyntia and looked at her.

"Where is she?"

"isabel? Isabel ran away because I set her to run away from the hydro-clynder, I'm very sorry and from the last information I got isabella with ... I'm so bad...but..but...I have a card reader this... all the rottenness of neo veltro is here even their lab location is in dc city" sobs cyntia sobbing.

Then Cynthia gave a card reader, containing important information about Neo-Veltro.

"This is my proof I didn't frame you guys, I'm tired of my stepfather Morgan Landslade. He killed all my family. I swear... I just want to save Isabella and Mr. Kennedy... I don't want to see the people closest to me die again"

Then claire received the flash drive then Cynthia shot the glass and scratched her leg with the knife she was carrying, after which she screamed.

"AUCHHHHH, GO... GO... GO AWAY DIPSHIT " Cynthia shouted while signaling the two of them to run away.

Reluctantly claire and steve fled and disappeared from cyntia's sight.

Steve and claire didn't really go, they hid and saw Cynthia's acting that worked because the proof was that they were completely distracted by Cynthia, after they left Steve turned around.

"but, steve cyntia" claire whined.

"No time, we have to save Isabella and Mr. Kennedy?"

Claire didn't answer but she remained silent in the struggle in her mind before sighing.

"okay, steve let's quickly find them"

Steve walked with his fists clenched and took a deep breath, his hardened face only broken when claire asked what anti-vt was with a sigh Steve tried to explain.

"Anti-VT is a cannibal virus that only consumes other viruses with the same variant. Anti-VT stands for Anti-Tyrant Veronica, everyone wants to buy the virus from me or from Alexia. The virus is very effective as a vaccine against the T,V or G-virus or as an antidote and for the bows can suppress the virus in our body. Like a suppressant"

"I see, so what do we do next Steve?" asked Claire.

"We sabotage the car in the parking lot and we will look for them" Steve pointed to the large parking lot in front of them.

Then claire nodded.

# 01:30 am,NEO VELTRO LAB. DC CITY.

"HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY FILES AND GIVE THEM TO SNAKE!" angry morgan slapped cyntia, but cyntia was silent without saying anything.

"ANSWER ME!, what is in your little brain that you dare to betray me huh!" snapped the man but Cynthia remained silent.

"Boss, we've caught Leon Scott Kennedy and Isabella," the man reported.

"Bring Isabella in the theater and Leon in the audience seat " Morgan ordered.

When cyntia heard the theater room, her body shuddered, her breath became short and her heart beat fast she knew what the theater room was for. The theater room is an open space that Morgan usually uses to show the zombies he made or use to spread virus , b.o.w. or just torturing them.

"what did you do with Isabella, morgan! " she shouted with horror face.

"Ahh, I see" Morgan smiled.

"BRING THIS BASTARD CHILD TO THE THEATER ROOM WITH LEON" said Morgan.

Then cyntia's bound body was dragged into the theater before she left, cyntia cursed morgan.

#01.00 am drug store DC city

Isabella sat on the dispensary long chair while leaning her head on the arm of the chair while using the bottled oxygen that Mr. Kennedy forced, but secretly she also really needed the oxygen because after she escaped from the terrorists she admitted she became very throttle like she was drowning even though it is on land.

"Use this inhaler, Bella," said Leon, giving the blue inhaler to Isabella.

"For what Mr. Kennedy" asked Isabella confused.

"You have to take this bella. Maybe I'm not a doctor but it looks like you have pneumonia" explained Leon, then Bella nodded. After that Leon put the thermometer into Isabella's mouth and Isabella followed it, a few minutes later the thermometer read and showed the number 102F (38 c).

"you have a a fever, likely bella " hella leon then looked for a compress for isabella

"Fever? ... ohh" he said short.

"We will rest here, while I charge my cellphone" Leon sat while charging his cell phone which had been low for a long time."

"That's a great idea considering this pharmacy is clean of zombies. I hope i still have my cellphone "

"so, where's your cellphone?" leon asked.

"probably lost, when i fell in the observation room in the dc tower" Before Leon answered he thought which human could fall at such a fantastic height he remembered Isabella was a b.o.w.

"Ahh, yes. So Bella, do you want to eat?" asked Leon, taking the blanket that was there and putting it on his daughter.

"No, I just want to drink something sweet and a ibuprofen , maybe," answered Isabella lazily.

"got it" nod leon took what was asked by his son.

After that Isabella sat and drank the bottled tea and then they ate in silence before the smoke bomb suddenly filled the whole room and Leon tried to attach the oxygen can to his daugher until he was unconscious, after that it was Bella's turn to attach the oxygen to Leon, although she felt that his head pain was getting worse and his body hurt all the time. she still wanted to save Leon, but a minute later a grup of people who wearing masks came and hit Bella's neck then Bella was unconscious.

# NOW

Leon slowly opened his eyes, when he tried to move, he realized that he was tied to a bench and slowly he glanced next to him and when he was surprised Leon found his other student Cynthia Alba next to him with blue cheeks with bowed eyes.

"cynthia?" call it a with hoarse voice .

"mr. kennedy" hoarse cyntia.

"I...I...couldn't save you two...I'm sorry" Cyntia whined in a low voice.

Then Leon saw in a different room with himself and Cynthia, Isabella was handcuffed with both her hands and her neck like she was looking at a show animal, he was an old man grabbing isabella's hair and her grandson.

"DON'T SLEEP YOU BITCH " Morgan annoyed, kicking Isabella hard.

"Morgan, I said stop. she is human! she has nothing to do with all this" shouted Cynthia.

"please...please...master...forgive me sir" in a semi-conscious state she pleaded with the torturer to stop, it's like 11 years ago when she was tortured by Wesker's men in tricell or when she was forced to become a sex worker 3 years ago.

"Team cover this kid head with a cloth and pour her with ice water" ordered Morgan and a moment later Isabella was smothered and doused with ice water.

leon who saw it was inert and cursed morgan.

"Ahh...I forgot our good guest, Leon Scott Kennedy...Enjoy the last view of your beautiful child Isabella" Morgan smiled.

"YOU ARE CRAZY, MORGAN. YOU ARE CRAZY...I WILL KILL YOU MORGAN IF YOU KILL DAUGHER...DON'T DO THAT...FREEING ISABELLA" Leon shouted annoyed.

Stop dad, stop please." Cynthia shouted while crying.

"Ahh, I forgot. I recorded all of this as a memory of the last second you saw your beautiful child's face... There are ada... I will try my new virus g-abyss I wonder what will form if I give it in the bow with g-abyss" smile morgan took the blue serum and inject it into isabella's neck even though isabella tried to refuse.

Leon's eyes widened as did Cynthia, Isabella suddenly groaned and screamed and the like fallen angel Isabella grew scary wings because o many eyes that surrounded the wings, Isabella's skin turned gray and her eyes turned dark gray, and her hair becomes bone thick and in this phase isabella's voice is deep and a liar like a wolf's.

"perfect...perfect, this is the most beautiful mutation I've ever made, he's like lucifer. The angel who finally fell "happy morgan, but that happiness was short-lived when isabella who almost lost her mind attacked morgan.

DRRR

But morgan could not think he took out his gun and shot isabella solar plexus and immediately he ordered his men to cut isabella wings for further research.

The sound of the chainsaw sounded deafening to the ears of the 2 poor spectators who were currently in shock, Cynthia was now crying while apologizing to Leon many times while looking down. While Leon couldn't say anything, he was silent and shed tears, he didn't know what to say. he will tell ada if he finds out his Daugher is being treated like this.

After Isabella's wings were cut with a chainsaw, Isabella returned to her human form, her delicate face facing the ground and could only groan incoherently.

After a few minutes, Steve broke the door and Morgan's men who were in the theater were shot by Steve in a matter of seconds. Steve panics, finding his sister Isabella with horrific events and blood splayed all around her.

"Bella, Bella...it's me Steve Burnside..your brother" Steve called on Isabella's shoulder.

"steve, it's…it's hurt…help me "isabella his brother. While steve giving his jacket to his almost naked sister who leaning his body against Steve for warmth

"Remember Director , you will not be able to get the formula that I made"

Angry that his plan he had made for a year failed miserably, he injected the serum into himself and what happened in the first 20 seconds morgan groaned and melted like wax but once melted it mutated into a monster with an enormous body and serpentine tentacles. The tentacles aimed for Steve and Isabella but failed, because Steve was quite nimble and he burned some of Morgan's tentacles. Alexia also suddenly came and helped the two of them, but Alexia's arrival seemed to provoke the monster morgan and she whimpered in a shrill voice that made everyone deaf and distracted kidnapping Isabella in the process.

"steveeeeeeeeee ..." Isabella shouted
