Carla had now set up base in China, somewhere she could finally be free of Simmons.
"Ada," Simmons checked in on her once again. "I hope everything is going to plan?"
"Oh, most definitely." She smiled.
"I knew you wouldn't let me down," he now returned the smile.
"I would go to the ends of the earth for you," she lied, knowing that was what he liked to hear even though it wasn't the real Ada that was saying it.
"I know you would," he smirked as he now reclined back in his chair. "When should I expect your return? I'm missing you dearly already."
"I ran into some complications with the BSAA, but they were no real obstacle I couldn't deal with."
"I see," he nodded. "Do whatever it takes to bring me that boy."
"I have this all worked out. I don't need you, Simmons." She then cut him off.
Simmons furrowed his brows at the last part of their conversation. Was she turning against him? No, it may have just been his imagination, his Ada was created never to go against him. He couldn't make up his mind about calling her back to ask what had gotten her so riled.
"I really don't have time for you right now, Simmons." She scowled as she threw the cubic device on her desk.
"Pick up, Ada!" he grumbled. "Damn you! Pick up I said!"
Each and every call was ignored as Carla started on her research into making something more than she had already.
'Why can't you come to your senses and see just who you really are, Carla!' the voice suddenly made an appearance once again as she was working.
"Shut up!" she snarled. "Carla's gone, you hear me?"
'No! You were never Ada Wong. Simmons just implanted that into you to make you believe it.'
"I know I'm the real Ada Wong!" she hissed as she clutched her head. "You know nothing you pathetic little..."
'You're Carla! Carla Radames!' the voice was getting more forceful now. 'You have a sister, or have you forgotten her too?'
"No! I'm not falling for your lies! I will make a serum that gets rid of you once and for all, you'll see!"
'You'll never get rid of me. You know yourself you want to believe you're still Carla deep down.'
"Enough!" she screamed, throwing her arm across her workbench.
Bottles and glass vial's were sent crashing to the floor.
"I'm Ada Wong!" she tried to convince herself as she finally gave in to collapse over the workbench to then slip down to the floor. "I'm Ada!"
'If you want to believe that then you should go back to him!'
"I don't want to go back to him," she whined, sounding so childish it hurt to even realise she was the one acting this way.
'You tell yourself you don't want to go back to him for doing this to you, yet you're so in denial that you believe it all to be true.'
"I hate what he did to me," she now spoke softly to herself. "But I can't go back to being what I once was, there's no going back now. Simmons has done this to me, and there's just no way of going back to being who I once was."
'Then I suppose it's time he gets what he deserves!' The voice snarled angrily. 'I demand payback!'
Carla pulled herself together and stood up, brushing herself down she made herself look presentable once again.
"I'll show Simmons what the C-Virus is really capable of," she now smiled devilishly.

Jake and Sherry had found their only way home in ruins as they both awoke to find themselves upon the biting snow of the cold mountains. The dreaded Ustanak had made a return and shot down their transport. Thankfully Jake had managed to grab a parachute to gently guide them down, only the explosion from the helicopter had cut some of the strings forcing them into a not so great landing.
"Great, now where the hell are we?" Jake glared as he looked around upon waking to now see nothing but snow.
Sherry took out her phone, but it wasn't picking up any reception.
"My phones out," she frowned.
"Well, what more could go wrong?" Jake sighed heavily as the snow began to bite.
"Winds picking up," she warned him.
"Yeah, I can feel it." He replied angrily once again.
Sherry ignored him as she started to walk on ahead of him. It wasn't long before the wind really started to pick up, blowing the snowflakes so much it was like a thick fog. The two hadn't been walking for very long before Sherry was now blowing into her hands.
"It's really cold," she shivered.
"Yeah," he agreed as he pushed himself through the snow storm. "Just keep close. Hey, don't you dare! Come here, get closer to me!"
He reached out to grab one of her hands to pull her close.
"I'm really cold, Jake." She shook against him.
"I know, but we're gonna make it. Look, I think I see a cabin up there."
The very thought was making her feel somewhat warm as they continued to trudge through the dense snow.
"Damn it!" he groaned, covering his eyes as the wind picked up once again.
Sherry tripped on something embedded in the snow and nearly took Jake down with her.
"Sherry!"
"I-I'm alright," she managed to tell him, while trying to keep her teeth from chattering.
Jake bent down to help heave her up.
"I've got ya," he said as he now looked up again as the wind died down a little. "Nearly there."
"Good," she shook a little more as she forced her legs to work.
Eventually the pair finally made it to the cabin, Jake quickly kicked open the door to drag Sherry inside. He laid her by the fireplace, pulling out a lighter he quickly lit the wooden logs. Thankfully the heat would also dry their clothes, as there was no way they'd be taking off their trousers anytime soon.
"How you feeling?" he now asked as she started to come round.
"Warm," she smiled, as she sat herself up.
Jake nodded, he was rather thankful of the cabin, but if it hadn't been for the damned behemoth chasing them all the time they wouldn't be in this mess. Once Sherry had been warmed through, she headed for the door.
"You think it's died down yet?" she asked as she raised her hand to the handle.
"Don't open that d..." it was far too late, Sherry was blown backwards with the wind that had now picked up more than before.
Quickly rushed over to her, he wrapped an arm around her waist to stop her going any further while he now tackled the door. She couldn't help but look up at him, feeling rather comfortable in his grasp. Jake on the other hand had found it a little awkward and had pulled her back up.
"I, uh, guess we'll be trapped here until morning?" she thought with a shrug as she now sat against the wall of the cabin.
He soon joined her, forcing a conversation to pass the time.
oOo
"It's made by Neo-Umbrella," Sherry shook her head with a frown at answering Jake's question about the behemoth. "They're after you for your..."
Unable to comprehend why Jake had suddenly cut her off to straddle her on the floor, she soon heard the sound of bullets ripping through the cabin walls and was surprised to see him actually seriously looking out for her.
"Looks like our friends are back!" he scowled as he looked up to see the whole back panel now being taken out with explosives.
Sherry looked up, seeing the snow starting to fall from the cliff side.
"Jake!" she warned.
He saw it too. "You're not too smart are you?" he glared at the J'avo as he quickly stood to grab Sherry and pull her to her feet before dragging her out of there.
Thankfully there were three snowmobiles here, all left by the J'avo. He quickly climbed on one, waiting for Sherry to climb on behind him.
"Hang on!" he warned as he started up the vehicle to drive them away from the avalanche.
A few surviving J'avo now gave chase on the two remaining snowmobiles. Shooting at them from behind.
"Sherry!"
"I'm on it!" she told him as she pulled out her gun to aim at the first snowmobile.
It was good that the J'avo were being swallowed up by the snow, but they weren't exactly out of danger themselves. Taking aim, she took out the second one, only to have a bullet strike theirs.
"Shit!" Jake cursed as Sherry now turned back to wrap her arms around his waist. "Hang on!"
Sherry knew it wasn't the time for complaining, but damn did this hurt.
"Christ the whole mountains coming down!" he shouted. "God must really hate us today!"
"I don't hate you!" Sherry told him as she held on tighter.
"Oh, well, that's a comfort at least." He groaned as he dodged a large block of snow. "This things not gonna hold up much longer!"
Sherry buried her face in his back, hoping they'd make it to a cave or some such.
"I see something," he told her. "Oh, shit!"
She knew that wasn't a good sign.
"Sherry, we're gonna have to jump!"
"What?!" she screamed as he stood just as the snowmobile went over a cliffs edge.
Jake just managed to land on the opposite side to then roll through the snow before quickly standing to slide over to help Sherry up, who was just barely hanging on the edge.
"Jake! I'm slipping!"
"I've got you!"
He heaved her up, never letting go of her hand as he looked up to see the snow still caving in on them.
"Quick, to the cave!"
He dragged her along until they both managed to get inside.
"Well we won't be going back that way," she now frowned as the snow completely blocked their way.
She walked off down the tunnel, standing on ice crystals and that also had her making a lovely tune.
"Nice acoustics," Jake commented as he followed her on.
"Pity I don't have time to play you a tune," she thought as they finally made it into the heart of the cave. "Oh, no!"
"What?" Jake asked, coming to stand next to her. "You have got to be kidding me!"
The bulking behemoth turned his head, catching sight of the pair he stormed over.
"Run!" Sherry screamed.
"Yeah, that's all we seem to do!" Jake frowned as he ran after her.
"Slide, now!" she warned.
"Huh?" he looked around her to see a small opening just big enough for them to slide underneath.
The behemoth rammed himself into it, forcing the wall to start cracking.
"That ain't gonna last," he now frowned as he looked back.
"Jake!" Sherry called as she was already climbing a ladder to another tunnel with the same sounding crystals upon the floor.
As soon as they ran on them the behemoth crashed through the wall.
"Run!" she screamed, but somehow got hit by the bulking monster to be sent flying through the air.
Upon landing she gasped sharply, a pain ripped right through her entire body.
"Sherry!" Jake yelled, narrowly missing the things claw.
"Stop him first!" she managed to tell him.
He looked around until seeing a drilling machine used for mining, quickly rushing over he turned it on and put his foot down on the accelerator, forcing the creature back into the wall. He used his own mechanical arm to stop the drill, but eventually Jake managed to break through and drilled him through the abdomen forcing him to cry out before his head dropped down.
"Finally," Jake glared as he quickly dropped down to rush to Sherry's aid.
He was shocked to see her sitting in a puddle of her own blood.
"What the hell do I do?" he thought panic-stricken.
"Pull me off!" she told him.
"You'll bleed to death," he warned her.
"I'm already bleeding out, Jake." She told him as she raised a gloved hand covered in blood. "Please!"
"I... Don't say I didn't warn you," he said as he grabbed her by the shoulders to pull her free of the metal plate she'd been impaled on.
She fell forwards with a cry, collapsing into him to then start writhing in agony as her back started to heal. Yep, it was healing at a rapid pace. Even Jake had a hard time understanding what he was now witnessing.
"Maybe it's your blood they should be testing," he pointed out.
"They already did," Sherry informed him weakly. "More than I could bear."
"Oh, sorry." He sighed with a shake of his head. "But it must be nice having those kind of superpowers."
"You think I wanted this?" she scowled at him. "This was my father's doing!"
He looked to her. "So, what? Your father experimented on you or something?"
She shook her head with a sigh. "You sure you wanna hear this?"
He shrugged. "Why not?"
"Alright, where to start? Well, my parents were scientists." She thought she'd get that out of the way first. "My father was working on a virus we came to know as the G-Virus, but Umbrella agents were sent in to collect it. My father was badly wounded what with not wanting to give up his work, in the end he used his very own virus to become a monster."
Jake shook his head. "I'm real sorry," he sighed. "But what about your mom?"
Sherry lowered her head. "She didn't make it."
Jake sighed heavily before placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Come on, we should get out of here." Sherry now composed herself to pull herself to her feet.
Once they were outside, things were looking up or so they thought. A gang of J'avo were lying in wait for them and not only that but the Ustanak had come back to life. They ducked the hail of bullets to turn to the bulking creature, only to have Sherry be roughly knocked aside as if she were a rag doll once again.
"Sherry!" Jake yelled as she was thrown through the air to land harshly on the cold snow.
The Ustanak turned on him, knocking him down to the ground to then pin him under his great big boot. Carla who'd been stood close by watching it all unfold now decided to show her face once again to him.
Jake looked back over at Sherry who was still out cold. "Come on super girl."
Carla walked over, a smug expression on her face and better yet all she wore was a thin revealing dress in these icy cold conditions. How she was not shivering and all too calm about it was beyond him, but he didn't have time to think on that. She was the one that had given him the so called energy booster.
"Those shots of yours really pack a punch, lady." He casually told her from being pinned under the Ustanak's boot.
She ignored him as she crouched down in front of him.
"So, you're Wesker Junior." She pointed out.
"Wesker? You lost me."
"Albert Wesker was a colossal imbecile, a fool who tried to destroy the world. He was also your father."
"What!?" he questioned bewildered by what she was telling him.
"Which makes you," she pointed at him, "heir to a very special blood type."
Jake didn't want to believe it, there was no way he was the son of that mad man. Carla now stood, raised a hand to gesture to the bulking creature to finish the job before turning to walk off. Jake felt the things foot lift from his back, he turned to look up as its boot came crashing back down upon his head.
xXx
It hadn't been a quiet time for Claire, her life never being the same again after the incident in Raccoon City that then led her to look for her missing brother. After that there was the incident with Alex Wesker, whom of which she'd taken down with the help of Barry Burton. A very close friend of her brother.
Turning to a station she liked to listen to, she was quite happy tapping her fingers on the steering wheel to a song she really liked when she was suddenly rudely interrupted by a call.
"Hey," she answered. "Claire here."
"Claire!"
She knew that voice. "Hey Piers, having a swell time with my brother?"
"Uh, about that." Piers now sighed.
"What happened?" she asked.
"We're at the hospital."
Those four words brought on a world of dread for Claire.
"Please tell me no one's seriously injured," she almost pleaded with him.
"It's Jill," Piers informed her.
At this she felt somewhat glad that it wasn't her brother, but still she knew it was bad. Jill was Chris' partner, she looked up to him and for her to be in serious trouble was just as bad.
"Is she alright?" was the only question that came to mind.
Piers gave a sigh before answering her. "She's been infected with the C-Virus."
"Oh god! How bad is she?"
"She's stable," he reassured her. "Chris has faith she'll fight it off like with the T-Virus and Uroborus."
"Good," Claire thought with a smile, remembering how the woman had survived the virus and not to mention the fall with Wesker. "She's a strong woman. If anyone can fight it, she can."
"Yeah," Piers agreed.
"Alright, I'm heading there as we speak." She told him as she turned the car around.
"Okay, I'll see you soon then."
Claire cut the call as she now thought about how lucky her brother had gotten off this time.
oOo
Once she'd arrived at the hospital she quickly asked the receptionist where Jill was being held, after she'd been allowed in she headed down the hall until stopping at Jill's room.
"Chris," she called out to him as soon as she saw him sitting next to his partners bed.
"Claire," he answered in turn.
"How is she?"
"She's fighting it," Chris sighed as Piers looked over.
"She'll get through it," Claire reassured him.
Chris nodded, but his thoughts were elsewhere. "That bitch will pay!"
"Hm?" Claire turned to him as he muttered under his breath.
"I'm going out," he now told her. "I just need some air."
Claire nodded as she watched him go, never thinking no more of it.
xXx
Sherry sure wasn't having the time of her life as all she could do was stare up at the white ceiling. She couldn't complain too much as her nice captives had left her in a room with a very large bed, a stereo, computer, TV and certainly not forgetting a toilet. They had however, stripped her of her clothes, leaving her in her underwear and a hospital gown. It's what followed that really got to her, it was Simmons' manor all over again.
People came and went, all jabbing her and cutting into her. Making her bleed just for their sick twisted experiments. There was what she assumed was a woman, but she never spoke and was always completely covered up so that Sherry couldn't see who she was. She was probably the most gentle out of all of them. A few times Sherry had seen the mysterious woman punish those that had made her cry out in pain.
"Why are you doing this?" she asked with tears in her eyes, catching the mysterious woman's wrist.
The woman then brought her free hand to the young blondes face, stroking her thumb gently over her cheek.
"To bring an end to this cruel world."
That was the first time Sherry had heard her speak, though she didn't know if she'd be able to recognise the voice as it was heavily muffled by the mask she wore.
"Why?" she pressed before she was then struck in the neck with a needle.
"Shush," the woman soothed, taking her hand in hers until Sherry could no longer fight the urge to sleep.
Carla looked down on the young woman, cursing herself inwardly for even feeling for the poor girl. Admitted Sherry had suffered enough from the time she'd been experimented on when she was younger. But there was no dwelling on that, Carla knew she had to perfect her cure and show Simmons she wasn't someone to mess with.
"I'm sorry, Sherry." She whispered. "But I need you to hold on a while longer."
She stood back to watch as the other doctors probed her once more, injecting different substances into her body just to see the effect on her. It was agonising to watch her pained expression even though she was completely under. Upon witnessing no more, Carla headed out. She had to see what the blood of Wesker's child was capable of.
For him, she didn't need to be covered. He already knew who she was.
"What do you get out of all this, lady?" he glared at her as he forcefully pulled at his restraints.
"Your blood, obviously." She smirked as she ran her fingers across his chest.
"This is not what I had planned!" he glared at her.
"Not for you," she smiled. "But did you really think you'd see fifty million dollars?"
He looked to her.
"The one you made a deal with only wants one thing," she then pointed at him with a smug smile, "you dead."
"So this is your way of saving me, is it?" he scowled at her.
"I suppose it is," she shrugged as she picked up a needle.
"You'll pay for this, lady!" he growled as she jabbed him.
She spent a long time making sure everything was as she'd predicted. Once she was satisfied with the results, she took a sample of Jake's blood to then combined it with Sherry's, getting quite the outcome.
"I'll make you pay for everything you've done, Simmons." She vowed.
xXx
After sitting in silence for a second or two, Claire decided to ask.
"How'd this happen?"
Piers looked to her with an angry expression.
"Some woman named Ada Wong," he told her. "I knew she was lying, I could see it written on her face. She looked so smug. If I... Damn it!"
Claire furrowed her brows, where had she heard that name before?
"Leon!" she now thought with a smile.
Piers turned to her, wondering what she was talking about.
"I have to make a call," she told him as she headed out of the room.
Pulling out her phone she made a quick call to Leon.
"Come on, Leon, pick up. Wait, what do I say?" she frowned. "You do know that the woman you like is going around infecting people, don't you? No, I'll just ask him where she is..."
"Where who is?" a voice now answered.
"Oh Leon, I was just wondering if you'd been in contact with Ada recently?"
"Not since Russia, why?"
"I don't wanna pry, but what does she do exactly?"
Leon gave a sigh. "I can't really answer that question myself. Anyway, what's this all about? Has she done something..."
"No, it's nothing. Sorry for disturbing you."
"Claire?"
"Alright," she caved. "I got told that a woman named Ada Wong infected Jill with the C-Virus."
"Ada infected Jill?" he asked dumbfounded.
"Seems so, but it could have just been some mistake or something."
"I'll admit I don't really know her that well, but I didn't think she'd stoop so low."
"Maybe someone's framing her?" Claire thought.
"Could be," Leon sighed again. "I've never known her to hurt anyone that didn't deserve it."
"I'll look into it," she told him. "See what I can find."
"Thanks, Claire. Talk to you soon."
She cut the call to now head back inside when she realised Chris had been a long time coming back.
"I wonder where he is," she frowned as she went in search of him.
After a while of searching and asking around, she headed back.
"Chris' gone," she told Piers.
"What!?" he frowned.
"I'm guessing he's gone looking for Ada," she sighed.
"Then we need to find him," Piers quickly stood.
"Stay with Jill," she gestured to the woman laying on the bed. "She needs someone to be here for her."
"But you can't go alone," Piers protested.
"I've gone looking for Chris before and it got me into a whole heap of trouble, I'll do it again and again to find him."
Piers shook his head, but settled back down again.
"Let me know if you find him," he grunted.
"You'll be the first to know," she smiled before heading out.
xXx
Where do you start when looking for your missing brother? You start at the source of it all and that source was none other than Ada Wong, who she'd been tracking for weeks.
"Finally found you," she smiled at her triumph.
Now all she had to do was to get to her and that was no easy task as the woman seemed to melt into the shadows each and every time Claire tried to get closer.
"You're like a slippery fish," she huffed at having no luck catching her.
"Mind telling me what it is you want with me?"
Claire nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound of a voice behind her.
"Ada Wong?" she asked as soon as she'd recovered.
The woman eyed her up.
"That's me," she acknowledged. "And just who are you?"
"Why'd you do it?" Claire ignored the question given to her.
"Do what? Wonder why you're following me or ask to know who you are?"
"Infect Jill!" Claire seethed.
The woman crossed her arms.
"I don't have any idea what you're talking about. You chased down the wrong woman."
"No, I was told you were the one that infected a BSAA member in Edonia. Now answer me!"
"I'd do the time, if I'd done the crime." The woman shrugged lightly in response. "But you seem to have me mixed up with someone else. I've never been to Edonia. And I sure as hell don't go round infecting people. What are you, a cop? You don't seem to have any evidence or anything. You just started accusing me of a crime I haven't done and therefore I can simply walk away."
Claire made a move on her, but the woman retaliated by pulling out what looked to be a gun.
"Do me a favour and stop following me," she warned as she now aimed the gun above herself to pull the trigger, showing Claire that it wasn't a gun but a grapple hook that was now lifting the woman off her feet.
"I'm not done talking with you yet," Claire scowled as she jumped up to grab the woman by her legs.
"Let go!" Ada hissed, trying to force her off.
"No!" Claire scowled deeply as she was lifted higher with the woman. "Not until I get to the bottom of this."
"I'll gladly show you the bottom," Ada scowled until realising she was apparently getting done for something she clearly hadn't done.
Soon the grapple gun had reached the top, sending both women crashing down onto a nearby ledge. Both grunted in pain as they landed harshly, Ada on her arm and Claire on her leg.
"That was an idiotic stunt you pulled," Ada frowned as she held her arm.
"I can't just let you get away," Claire scowled at her. "My brother's looking for you."
Ada shook her head as she stood.
"And what?"
"I can't let you out of my sight until I find him," Claire scowled.
"Sorry, but I'm not someone you can easily control."
"Look, I'm willing to believe someone's setting you up for Leon's sake."
Ada's face told it all.
"What's Leon have to do with anything?"
"I just don't want to see him getting hurt over someone like you."
"Someone like me?" Ada glared. "I'm nothing like the woman you think I am!"
"Then prove it," Claire told her.
"Just watch me," Ada huffed as she walked off, leaving Claire to quickly follow her on.
Hopefully she'd be able to find Chris and find out just who the person is that's framing Ada for Leon's sake.
