Leon quickly rushed over to the helicopter Ada had landed on the roof. As normal there was a rocket launcher awaiting him as well as her compact mirror. Picking it up from the seat, he opened it up to then lift the make-up tray to find a memory card. Upon slipping it into his phone he was greeted with all the evidence needed to clear him and Helena's name.

"You're free to clear your name," Helena told him glumly.

"Our names," Leon corrected.

Helena turned away with a shake of her head. "I don't deserve it."

"Think of your sister."

"We're still not on good terms with one another."

"Then it'll give you both time to get back on good terms again," he told her before turning around as the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Leon, he's back!" Chris shouted as the building started to shake.

"Figured," Leon sighed as he gestured to Helena to grab the rocket launcher.

Soon enough Simmons was now climbing over the top to greet them.

"That's fucking insane!" Jake thought as he looked up at the huge monstrosity.

"Everyone get ready!" Chris ordered.

"Be truthful, what's our chance of survival?" Leon asked, turning to Chris.

"50/50, maybe 60/40 if we're lucky." Chris shrugged.

"He's trying to protect his head," Helena shouted. "I can't get a clear shot!"

"Then we're going to have to do this the hard way," Leon thought as he ran underneath the long legs of fly Simmons.

Jill and Sherry took the left side as Leon and Chris took the right side, with Jake aiming to hit his eyes.

"The joints!" Jill shouted to the others. "He's weak to damage there!"

It would seem he was weak to joint damage as the more he received the more fluid burst forth until his entire leg dropped off. Simmons cried out in pain as long tendrils now burst forth to wrap around the closest thing available to leech the life out of. That unfortunately being Jill.

"No!" she screamed as Chris quickly ran over to sever the tendril.

"You alright?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. Thanks Chris."

He nodded before quickly heading back to help Leon take down another leg. Slipping backwards off the building while uncovering his face in shock, Helena was now given a chance to send off the rocket, which thankfully hit him right in the face. Finally it was over now as the lot of them all rushed over to see Simmons' final defeat. He screamed as he fell, reverting back to his normal self to be finally be impaled upon the stone spike at the very bottom of the tower.

oOo

Ada and Carla were just in time to see him fall to his death.

"So long, Simmons." Ada smiled.

"And to think I loved that bastard," Carla frowned, though for some reason she wished her 'Project' could have worked. She would have moulded Simmons to her liking, as he'd done to her.

"Come on," Ada gestured, wanting to just put everything to rest.

Carla followed her on reluctantly. It wasn't until they were nearing the other members, did Carla start to get cold feet.

"I'm not going to be let off that easily," she frowned. "Though why should I?"

"We have proof that it was Simmons behind it all," Ada reassured her. "Besides they'll need a great mind such as yours."

"If you're trying to flatter me," Carla scowled.

"Not ever," Ada smirked as she joined the others.

"Ada!" Leon turned, surprised to see her.

"Here," she said handing over a card with more evidence on it. "That should prove her not guilty."

"Ada!" another called out her name.

She turned to see Chris heading over to her.

"Chris, hold on a minute." Leon stepped in.

"Listen, Leon, I know what I said and..."

"I'm the one you want, not her."

Chris was super shocked to see two of them.

"Twins!"

Ada snorted in amusement.

"Here," Leon handed him the phone with all the data on it.

Chris looked to it.

"Alright," he nodded. "It's your call, the BSAA have done there part here."

"Thanks, Chris." Leon acknowledged as he turned back to both Ada and Carla.

"I'll see if I can pull a few strings," he told them.

"You can sweet talk anyone," Ada smiled at him.

"Here's hoping," he sighed.

"I've gotta run," she now told him.

"Yeah," Leon shook his head, knowing they'd never be a thing.

Before leaving Ada headed over to Sherry, who was making light conversation with Jake.

"Sherry," the older woman grabbed her attention.

Sherry cut the conversation to look at her.

"I have something to return to you," she said as she pulled out the gold locket.

Sherry looked to the locket before holding out her hand to take it. Once in her possession she opened it up to find the photo of her and her parents.

"I never got the chance to return it to you until now," Ada shrugged.

"Thank you," Sherry smiled sweetly as she folded up the photo to slip back into the locket. "And thank you so much for saving my life."

"You're wel..." Before she could finish Sherry had taken her in a hug.

She really didn't know how to take to the hug at first until it just felt natural to return the gesture. Once Sherry pulled away to go back to Jake with her locket again, he immediately asked what it was all about as Ada disappeared once again.

"You know her?" he asked.

"Yes," Sherry nodded, placing the locket around her neck. "I remember seeing her back in Racoon City in the underground labs. I actually ended up running away and dropped my locket in the process. I didn't think I'd actually see it again, but back then I never really cared."

"Your parents give it to you?" he asked.

Sherry nodded. "I always believed my parents didn't care about me," she shook her head. "Claire and Leon have always been there for me though."

Jake nodded then looked over as Chris told them they were to go with them. He'd been asking for fifty million for his blood, but seen he'd been hanging out with Sherry he'd finally changed his mind on the money and simple asked for fifty dollars instead.

'I lowered my asking price to fifty dollars,' he'd texted her.

Upon reading this, she couldn't help but smile. He wasn't at all like his father, thankfully.

xXx

Having made it back to the states, Leon and Helena were now headed for headquarters or so she thought. Helena knew what lie ahead for her and practically wasn't bothered. She'd do her time and come out anew.

"Is your sister doing alright now?" Leon asked striking up a conversation.

"From what Hunnigan told me, she seems so." Helena nodded.

"I know it's not my business, but did something happen between you both before all this?"

"Apart from me shooting her boyfriend," she shrugged. "No, we've always been somewhat close after out parents died."

"You shot her boyfriend?"

This even got the drivers attention.

"My sister was stuck in an abusive relationship," she went on to explain. "I didn't find out until it was too late, when she had to be hospitalised. He'd been beating her and I didn't even know it."

"Some people are just too afraid to speak out," Leon sighed.

Helena shook her head on response "I should have seen it. Deborah was always so bubbly and easy-going at college, but then she just started to quieten down and her friends..."

"Something's aren't exactly noticeable unless the other helps in return," he reminded her.

"I know," she frowned. "Every since that day, I just can't..."

"You wanna talk about it?" he asked, wondering if she'd be better off getting it out of her system.

She gave a nod. "I got this feeling something wasn't right that night. I was just driving home and thought I'd go see her, I never expected to see her in the state she was in." She took a breath then got down into it. "I pulled up at the apartment block and headed for her apartment. I rang the bell, knocked on the door a few times but there was no answer. The TV was blaring, but I made out some noise along with it. I forced myself in there and headed for the living room."

She took a small pause before continuing on again.

"That's where I found them. He was on top of her beating her bloody. I wasted no time kicking him off her and that's when he turned on me," she sighed again. "We got into a fight and I just remember being in such a rage that I kept hitting him until my knuckles bled. He fought me off and then I just shot him."

"You saved your sister," he now looked to her. "Anyone in your place would have done the same."

She gave a nod. "I suppose."

"Hey, Hunnigan's here." He now smiled as he turned to look out the window as the car slowed down to pull up behind another of their own cars in front.

The pair now climbed out as one of the men in black suits opened the door for them. Leon walked over to Hunnigan to now strike up a conversation with her, while Helena made her way over to Deborah.

"Helena!" Deborah flung herself at her older sister.

"Deborah," Helena sighed against her. "I hate to do this to you as you're still recovering, but I..."

"Helena," Leon cut her off as he walked over to take her hand to place a gun into it.

"What's going on?" Helena asked puzzled. "Shouldn't you be taking me in?"

Hunnigan shook her head as Leon stepped in front of Helena to take one of her hands to place a gun into it.

"But I assisted in the attack!" she looked to him in shock surprise.

Leon now stepped aside to allow Hunnigan to go on to explain.

"The investigating commission have reviewed the evidence, and feel it unjust to hold you liable for Simmons' crimes. They will also not be disclosing their findings to the public."

"But..." Helena shook her head in disbelief before Deborah took her free hand to squeeze reassuringly.

"The President would have done the same," Leon smiled at her.

"I.." she was speechless.

"The same applies to Carla Radames, though she's being held at the time being due to everything that's happened. After its all cleared up, she'll be granted freedom as well. Though she will have to be watched closely for a year or so first."

"Who by?" Helena now asked.

"They're assigning you to the position of bodyguard," Leon told her with a smile.

"Me?" she asked dumbfounded. "But looked what happened before."

"The President spoke highly of you Helena," Hunnigan smiled at her.

"He did?" she thought.

"So you up for the job of keeping her safe?" Leon now asked.

Helena nodded. "Yes."

"Good, get settled in and we'll see you in a few days for your next assignment." Hunnigan now turned to head off with Leon.

"Leon!" Helena shouted him.

He stopped to turn to look at her as she pulled out the compact mirror he'd given to her of Ada's.

"For the next time you see her," Helena smiled as she threw it to him.

He caught it with ease, shaking his head with a sigh. "Women."
