Disclaimer: I don't own Resident Evil or anything. They all belong to the good, good people of Capcom. I'm just a RE fan who loves to write fics for the hell of it.

Authoress' Notes: Alexandra "Alex" is mine. Leon is in his RE4 style. Nickleback's Savin' Me song will be Alex's theme since it fits her. Still trying to keep the whole thing as close as I can to the Survival Horror theme. There's another charry that I've created, only mention here and there but will come out later in the fic. Try to figure out Alex's true identity. Thank you all for your reviews and I'm still open to ideas! Enjoy this chappy!

The Resurrection of the Nightmare

Chapter Two: The Rookie Cop and the Dark Angel

Leon pressed himself against the dark side of the pillar as a couple of guards walked past, talking loudly about their pay. Surprising enough, there weren't as many guards as he and the others had thought. Leon didn't like this. From the way everything is it didn't seem like a Umbrella had a lab in here. The male frowned as he reflected his nightmare of Raccoon and growled inwardly. This is Umbrella. The very company that exercised the whole saying of 'looks can be deceiving' crap.

The rookie dared a peek from the pillar and looked around. Seeing that there aren't any guards, for the moment anyway, he darted to the next one and sighed. Doing a whole James Bond stealth mission was going to take forever. He'll probably turn eighty-years old by the time he found the right room and then wait another few years before he'll get a chance to open the damn door.

Assuming IF he found the door.

Besides, he couldn't afford to rush this. He needed to find a map of this place so he wouldn't get lost, find the BOW, get rid of or save it, grab whatever evidence he can and then get the hell of here. He looked around again, making sure there weren't any guards near him, before looking up at the wall. And there was his first prize...

The map.

Pinned to the wall for the guards to use if they're lost. Also handy for those raiding the facility because Umbrella is so high on itself that they didn't consider to place these maps in secure areas.This makes it easier for the rookie cop to find the BOW and evidence, grab 'em and go.

Leon cracked a grin as he reached out to grab the map, thinking that this'll be shortest and fastest raid ever done. Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine as he held the map in hand. Something was off about this. Something felt wrong, he couldn't quite put his finger on it. By this point, his instincts were telling him to get his ass in gear and run. Leon hesitated, peering down and seeing that he had stepped on an alarm laser, breaking the little red beam of light in half. He flinched at the exact same time as the alarms blared.

Just great.

Just fucking great.

So much for being silent.

Not only was Umbrella high on itself but the company was also fucking paranoid. Of course they'll cover the shadows with these things. Just another step for the company to make sure NOTHING gets through their little hide aways.The rookie cop scowled at the little laser.

"Son of a..." Leon began to growl just before the door next to his right flew open and three guards filed out. He looked up at them as they leveled their assault rifles to his chest. "...bitch!" he yelped out, ducking behind the pillar a second before the guards let loose their rounds. The rain of bullets chattered angrily at the pillar ripping little chunks off the side. Leon gritted his teeth as the guards continued their hail of bullets. How much ammo do they have?! The cop growled. He could fire back but all he had with him was a M93R with three spare clips, and his survival knife. He looked around for an escape route and found it about half way down the corridor. Now all he had to do is distract them long enough to get into the other hallway and fire off some rounds of his own.

He pull out the survival knife, it's reflective surface giving him an idea. He held it up at arm's length above his head, slowly letting peek out from the pillar as the guards continued to pour out rounds. Leon watched the knife carefully until he saw the bright fluorescent lamp mounted above the door. The male grinned. Cha-ching! He caught the light of the lamp and reflected it to the guards' eyes.

Leon waited 'til he heard three cries of surprise before he took off toward the hallway entrance. Once he was safe behind the adjacent wall, the rookie fired off three rounds. One hitting a guard's leg, the second catching the other guard's arm, and the third puctured the last guard's neck. All of them going down. Leon turned and ran down the hall, his presence hushed by the plush carpet, looking for a room to hide so he could study the map.

"Quick! This way! I heard the shots from over here!"

"Aw, shit!" Leon hissed as he skidded to a halt in the middle of the hallway. The sounds of guards coming in from both sides of the area. The rookie cop backed away from the carpet, thinking he could escape the two "armies" by hiding in the shadows. He continued to back up until he felt the wall press up against his back, then he sidled along the wall heading toward the shadow of a pillar. He was almost there, as well as the two groups, when he felt a small tremor and the wall disappeared from behind him. Leon teetered on the edge of the floor, swaying gently back and forth. He stood perfectly still, safe, until he was startled by a gunshot and fell back.

"Aw, crap!" he yelped, falling back into a darkness that swallowed him.

He felt a sudden sharp pain in his upper back and a few seconds later another sharp pain in his legs. It took him awhile to realize that he was rolling down a staircase. A hard, stone staircase. He came to a pretty painful stop as he slammed against a heavy wood door. He curled up in ball as he allowed his body the time to bare the pain coursing through him, then weakly stood up.

"Ow... Damn Carlos and his jinx on me." he mumbled as he pushed the door open.

He froze the instant he walked into the room. So there was a lab hiding here, maybe more in the castle. But this wasn't a lab, it was more like a storage area. The rookie began to shiver a little as he gazed around the large room, noting the glass and titanium capsules that lined the walls and a stainless steel table in the middle. It was cold but not nearly cold enough to call it a cold storage room. He stepped closer to one and saw it held a BOW that was a cross between a Hunter and a frog.

Beta Hunters, he thought.

Carlos had told him about those. Ugly things that when they sense you're near death they try to swallow you whole. He continued his exploration of the room, some capsules where empty which made him feel uneasy, and others had some other "things" inside that he'd rather not find out. But what caught his eye was a lone capsule sitting in the far corner of the room. This one had its lights on and held within it was a beautiful young girl, not much older than Claire, maybe a year or two younger. She had long blonde hair, creamy colored skin and wore a white, skin tight tube top and mini shorts. Leon blinked up at her as a sad and angry thought crossed his mind.

"Oh, brother. Umbrella, will you go as far as to kidnap innocent people off the street to further your own research?" he muttered. He stared at her with sadness as she merely floated there, oblivious to her surroundings. As he lowered his gaze to the machinery before him, he thought he saw her twitch to his words. Perhaps, she was aware?

No, Leon thought, She can't possibly hear me.

This girl could had been walking down a street minding her own business when Umbrella decided to use her for a test subject and grabbed her off the street. His thoughts sadden, Poor girl. Her parents might think she's dead, while in reality she's being held here enduring some things worse than death. He looked at the information scrolling through the screen and thought recording some of this will qualify as evidence. At least for the girl's sake. He read through some of the info and his jaw dropped at a piece of info that bloomed before him. At that same time, the door to the room burst open and several armed men raced in.

(A/N: Now we're switching over.)

Brother...? Where..? The girl opened her eyes a crack, letting them adjust to the light before gazing at the figure in front of her. It was male, she knew, and he was reading something. Something that gave him a shock of his life. A loud crash from the northern entrance forced her to look up and saw several armed men rush in. They aimed their weapons at the male's back. Worried for the man's safety, she looked at him. Look out..., she thought, Behind you... Everything happening in a split second.

The man tensed before whirling around, facing the men. He shouted something to them before he ducked behind her capsule as they fired carelessly into the room. There was basically no cover in the room other than behind the capsules, and therefore he couldn't fight back, they had the man pinned. They advanced further into the room, firing their seemingly endless rain of bullets. Some of them pelted the machinery near her capsule until it was destroyed and several had hit the glass protecting her. The men continued their attack and the glass began to crack in multiple places. The armed men paused in their advance to see whether they hit the other or not.

Just then a blur jumped out from behind the capsule and fired wildly into the group, the rounds going wide. The guards dove out of the way of his attack and prepared to retaliate. This was aggravating the girl. These men are ment to do harm to this man. She narrowed her eyes. This man...who was her brother.

No one is going to hurt brother! she thought angrily, No one!

Her eyes glowed an icy blue as she watched her brother back up against her capsule. The glassed shattered and she leaped out, ready to defend her brother.

(A/N: And we're switching back.)

Leon couldn't believe his eyes when the glass shattered behind him and the girl leaped in front of him, facing against the guards. The guards, too, were shocked by this as she narrowed her eyes and raced at them. She ran up to the closest one and slammed her fist into his gut, forcing him to double over. As he did, she grabbed his helmeted head and gave it a hard twist to the left. There was a sickening CRACK! and he collasped, dead. She darted to the next guard, who was too stunned to react quickly enough. She wrapped her arms around his waist, like a hug, before she tighten her grip and bent back, taking him with her in a suplex, the guard's neck breaking upon impact. The third guard fired his Assualt Rifle at her legs, which she avoided by bringing her legs up into a hand stand, she grabbed two things from the second guard's body before pushing herself at the guard. She quickly wrapped her legs around his upper chest, as if she was sitting on his chest. The guard paused and stared at her. Her wet hair framed her lovely face as she stared back.

The girl suddenly grinned wickedly and began to beat the guard over the head with the batons she'd taken from the body. The helmet began to give way as the visor cracked from the force of the blows. The guard flailed and thrashed wildly in attempt to buck her off, but the girl only tighten her grip around his waist and pressed her attack. In a last ditch, yet meaningless, effort to force the girl off was to fire his rifle in every direction his arm was able to allow. The hail of bullets rained everywhere, shattering capsules, and destroying sentive equipment but none touched the girl.

Leon stared in amazement as the BOW continued to beat the guard senseless, who was firing his weapon everywhere and the stream of deadly rain was heading his way. The cop dove for the floor as the angry chatter of bullets whizzed above and beyond him, peppering the ceiling. Tearing into it enough to cause that whole section of the ceiling to give way. Leon cried out in alarm as he felt the debris crashing over him, a fairly big chunk of it slamming against his skull, and burying him alive under the collasping ceiling.

The girl paused in her attack as she heard her brother cry out and looked over her shoulder in shock. The white ceiling had caved in on her brother, burying him alive in rubble. Rage bloomed within her as she slowly turned back to face the guard. The little bastard responsible for it. The guard saw how tense the girl was and realized that he made a grave mistake in his act. The last things he saw were the raging fury in the girl's bright blue eyes and the steel baton rushing up to meet his face.

The girl stood up after jamming the baton into the guard's face and ran toward Leon, who was barely conscious. Upon reaching her brother, the girl began to remove the pile of rubble in hopes that he was still alive. A low moan from him confirmed her hopes as she tossed aside the last piece of ceiling and carefully turned him over to lie on his back. It seemed that the blow to the head had left her brother dazed, with his eyes half open and glossy. He was pretty much out of it.

Maybe it had to do with the bump on his head? She blinked at it for a second, before leaning forward to take a better look at it. As she did, Leon's half lidded eyes flew open at the movement and gasped.

----------------------------------------

Leon was out of it, plain and simple. His thoughts collided with what he remembered the last two minutes before the ceiling caved in on him. He remembered the grunts ambushing him while he was reading the girl's data. The capsule behind him had shattered from the storm of hot lead, and finally the BOW defending him. Defending him. Not attacking. It was surreal, even to him. But then, maybe she was saving him for last? He pushed the thought aside as a throbbing pain washed over him.

Uh, that's right. I was konked on the head with something. I wonder if...Oh, God.

He shoved the pain aside in a panic and reached for the silver of awareness, forcing his eyes to open fully. Upon doing so, he saw that the BOW was staring at him.

Too close for comfort.

Startled, he gasped involuntarily and crabwalked backwards to get away. Was she going to attack him? Apparently not, as she giggled at his actions. Leon cocked his head to one side in confusion, trying to figure out as to why she was just staring at him. But surprisingly, the BOW mirrored his action, tilting her head to one side with a smile.

Why in the hell was she copying him?

"Fun."

The rookie blinked at the word that caught him off guard. What did she just say? The BOW smiled and pointed her finger at him, at which Leon froze completely, unsure what to do. She giggled at his expression, which soon bloomed into an all out laughing fit.

"Funny." she mangaged to say between laughs, her icy blue eyes closing to make room for her smile.

Funny? She thinks this is funny? Scaring him shitless was funny to her?

He watched her look around the room in awe and suddenly remembered something. Hadn't Carlos told him that if the BOW did not have the program then it'll have to distinguish its enemies all on its own? Leon smiled at the thought as the BOW wandered about the room, peering into the capsules; seemingly more interested in what was in the room than what had just happened twenty seconds ago. The rookie glanced at the dead grunts as a thought nagged at him. He should be paying attention to the BOW behind him but something wasn't right about these guys. They were working for Umbrella, they knew that the company cherished their precious BOWs...

So, why would they fire carelessly into a BOW storage area? He walked over to the closest one and began to remove the grunt's weapons to take with him as he continue to ponder over the question. He reached over to search the man's other pockets for more M16 mags when something caught his eye. Underneath the Umbrella logo patch was another patch... A patch that bore a different insigna.

A letter "G" merged with a letter "X".

The rookie frowned slightly, now where did he see that logo before? He thought back to what he saw on TV. There had been news broadcasts and commericals where another commerical entity rivialed Umbrella in computer technology and medical products that had a letter "G" and a letter "X" emblazed on the labels.

"What was the name?" Leon muttered to himself and thought hard, "G and X, the name has to come from the two letters. G, X, G, X, G, X...Gen...X..."

He froze as realization hit him. "Gen...X? GenX?" Wait a minute, GenX was a respected company that dealt with deadly viruses to find cures...

Just...like...Um..brella... Oh, God, no...

"Aw, fuck. An Umbrella company wannabe..." he hissed as he glared at the dead men. Apparently, they sent in some of their own version of the UBCS undercover to take out Umbrella from the inside out. Leon fished out a disk from one of the dead grunt's pockets. And steal any data they can get to make their own home grown BOWs.

Whoopie-fucking-doo.

The rookie cop shoved the disk into his pocket as he walked over to the girl BOW, who was currently poking at dead Hunter. Exactly what was he going to tell her? That she was a experiment that shouldn't be alive? A threat to the entire world? The only reason why she's still alive is that she was going to be used as evidence against a company she didn't even know about? As he knelt down next to her, he finally decided what he was going to do with her...

"Hey, do you know your name?" he asked her, as she continued to poke at the dead Hunter. She paused and looked thoughtful. After a few seconds, she looked a little sad, the type of look that nearly broke Leon's heart. "I... I don't know..." she murmured.

The rookie smiled. "Want me to give you a name?" The girl smiled and nodded her head eagerly.

He remembered the information that he read before the GenX grunts destroyed the capsule. Her first and last name, he remembered clearly but wasn't too sure if he should let her know her own last name. He decided that he should keep it to himself and not tell her or his friends her last name...for her own sake.

"How about Alexandra? 'Alex' for short." Leon asked and the girl, Alex, squealed in joy. Apparently, she loved that name and hugged him for it. He blushed at the action. He was in love with Claire, no doubt about it but Alex was touching a part of his heart that he didn't know that was missing. He had been an only child and looking at Alex's smile made him think of her as a younger sister. Maybe this was why Chris was so protective of Claire?

She squeezed him a little too tightly in her bear hug and Leon flinched. She was a younger sister, a very strong younger sister, and she did call him her brother. He eased out of her hug and held a gun out to her to take. Alex took it and stared at it, then looked at him in confusion. Apparently, she didn't know what he wanted her to do with the firearm and smiled a bit.

"Alex, I'm going to tell you a story about a bad company. After I'm done telling you the story, we need to find you some clothes, okay?"

"Okay!"

"Do you want to help me, your brother, fight and stop the bad guys?"

"Yeah!"

"Good. After you get dressed, we gear up and go stop the bad guys."

"Yay!"

Leon told her the story and watched carefully at her expressions as they changed throughout the tale. She went from intrested to surprise then to horror and finally to anger. She raised and cocked the Colt SAA, a look of fury on her lovely face.

"Do you know what we need to do?" Leon asked carefully, he was about to say something else but from the way she held the gun he decided not to. She looked at the grunts and narrowed her blue eyes.

"Yes. Stop Umbrella."
