Tormented Little Angel

-Trust is hard earned when lost-

It was time but they had a few people to pick up first. Trinity discarded the towel from her shower and replaced it with underwear. Next came a pair of black shorts that only half covered her thighs. Then she pulled on a black tank top that had no sleeves joined by a pair of knee high, flat boots and a pair of fingerless gloves. Her eyes firmly shut still, she tied her long hair back loosely and strapped her two handguns to her hips, two large knives at her back and spun her long coat round her.

Walking out of her room, she took the elevator up to the surface building and outside waiting for her was Wesker. He was sat in his black Mercedes and opened the passenger door for her. He was wearing his usually black leather outfit and trench coat, black shades and neatly slicked back, blonde hair. Sliding in, he put his foot down and they headed out.

"I see you've got everything," he smirked.

"Everything I need is on my or in me, you?" she smirked back at him.

"Of course."

The drive was short before they reached their destination. Trinity paused for a moment before looking at Wesker, wondering if it was a good idea to bring him in with her. Wesker just smirked and stepped out of the car, Trinity following her with a sigh knowing this could turn out bad. Walking into the building side by side, they were met at the reception by a woman. She didn't look up.

"I'm sorry; Mr Kennedy isn't seeing anyone now."

"He'll see us," Trinity hooked an arm through Wesker's and headed to the lift.

The receptionist tried to stop them but the doors just shut and they were moving up. Once the lift stopped, the two moved out onto the floor and into the known office.

Shockingly they were all still there. Carlos and Alice stood to one side chatting, Chris and Jill on the couch eating and watching TV, Claire on the floor in front of her brother and of course Leon with Phoenix, previously dozing in their seats. That was until they walked in. Everyone stiffened and leapt up from their positions, hands going to their guns.

"Woah, woah," Trinity waved her hands, "we're here to talk."

"What makes you think we are willing to listen?" growled Chris, "to two traitors."

Trinity sighed while Wesker chuckled darkly, "still the same sore loser, Chris."

Chris' eyes narrowed and his finger squeezed on the trigger. Trinity nudged Wesker with her elbow and cleared her throat.

"Gun down, Chris, or I will make you."

"I'd like to see you try," Chris sneered, still angry over her betrayal.

Trinity moved forwards too quickly to be seen clearly and the handgun was in her hand, spinning on one finger as she returned to her place by Wesker's side.

"Now we can talk like civilized people," Trinity smirked before turning to Phoenix who was the only one stood without raising a weapon, "we need your help," there were scoffs in the crowd, "or more specifically, yours and Alice's help, anyone else would be a bonus."

"And why should we help you?" asked Carlos warily.

Phoenix shook her head at him before turning to Trinity and Wesker, "if this is about Rain, I am in."

Trinity smiled warmly and nodded her head in thanks. They all looked at the crimson haired B.O.W shocked.

"But Phoenix!"

"No, Rain deserves our help, now who's coming," she looked round at them all with crimson eyes, "no doubt there will be a big fight and probably some rampaging B.O.W's, but I will do this without your help or not."

There was silence between them all when Leon stepped forwards, barely a second after Phoenix.

"I'll come too," he smiled at Phoenix, "someone has to watch your back."

The crimson haired woman smiled back at him and kissed his lips with a quiet thank you. Wesker had his arms crossed over his chest while Trinity tapped her foot on the floor in annoyance, they didn't have all day. Next Jill stood forwards to Chris' horror. The black haired woman stood in front of Trinity, looking her up and down before sighing quietly.

"I'll go with you, but only because we were friends."

Trinity nodded with a small smile. Alice and Carlos joined their side leaving only Chris and Claire looking at them shocked.

"This is Wesker we're talking about!" Chris yelled angrily, "we can't just team up with our number one enemy!"

Beside her, Wesker seemed to be losing his own patience, something only Chris seemed able to deplete.

"You can't trust them when they'll only stab us in the back!"

That got to Trinity.

She took a step towards Chris, not caring about the gun levelled at her, before grabbing him by his collar and opening her eyes, glaring at him. Chris visibly gulped.

"Listen here, Chris! We were friends, we still can be but you need to grow up! This isn't just about me and Wesker; it's about Rain, our son that was brought into all of this without reason! It's about that bastard Raphael has done and will do! For all I know, he's probably created a monster from my blood that he'll send after us. It won't end with us either, he'd create more, manifest it in ways unimaginable until it completely wipes out the planet, do you want that?" she let go of him, pushing him back slightly causing him to stumble, "who's more of a monster? Someone willing to die for everyone else? Or someone too busy arguing to help save everyone?"

Moving away from him, Wesker pulled out a small case and handed it to her. Trinity smiled weakly and thanked him before quickly leaving. Once outside the room, she drew the syringe from the case and injected the contents into her arm. Hopefully this would stop her from feeling so tired. She waited for it to take affect while they all filed out, Wesker in the lead. Chris and Claire followed grudgingly but her words seemed to have gotten to him. Sighing quietly, Trinity put the case in her coat pocket and headed to Phoenix's side.

"Thanks for coming."

Phoenix smiled and nodded, "For Rain, anything."

"So," Leon spoke up, "where is it we are headed?"

Wesker stopped by his car, ironically parked beside the two black jeeps they all drove, and faced them.

"Raphael's lab is 30 miles east of here."
"And what's the plan?" asked Carlos reverting to his old profession.

"Straight through the front door," Trinity had her eyes closed once again, "he won't expect that."

Wesker spoke again, "it is crucial that they don't know that we have Trinity with us, one slip up," his glare landed on Chris, "then we fail."

They all nodded when Trinity told them the plan.

Raphael's lab was on quiet alert. Soldiers were armed and ready at the entrances and on most of the floors that led underground. Two black, kevlar clad soldiers stood outside the entrance while Carlos and Chris stealthy moved either side of them before snapping their necks. Claire dove forwards and started hacking into the password. Within seconds it was opened.

Trinity looked between them all as she spoke of the plan.

"First off, Carlos, Chris, I want you two to deal with the front guards then Claire hack in and open the door," she smirked, "next comes the fun part....you three along with Alice, will go to the left side of the underground lab; Leon, Phoenix and Jill will go through the centre while I and Wesker will go through the right...the key is to keep in communications..." she turned her head to them all as if looking at them without her eyes, "if anyone finds Raphael, do not fight him...he's mine."

They split into their three respective groups and headed out, checking their wireless communicators were working. Trinity and Wesker stood by the corner of a corridor when she decided to check on everyone. Speaking into the small mike from the headset, she contacted them.

"Carlos, Chris, Claire, Alice, you four okay?"

"We're fine," Claire answered for them, "we've just cleared a blast door and are heading down."

"Good; Leon, Phoenix, Jill, you three?"

"Also fine," Leon answered, "heading down now."

"Right," she turned to Wesker, they were already down in the underground labs, "let's go."

Wesker smirked before leading the way through the familiar lab. The two ran through the corridors but were silent. Occasionally stopping to peer through a door and check inside. Most of them were empty labs or storage rooms, a few had been offices and they had dealt with the scientists inside. One had even been an experiment room where a mutated dog had been kept. It was like the Cerberus only bigger and meaner looking; hopefully that thing would stay under sedation for their trip. Trinity had had enough with mutated dogs to last her a lifetime.

Trinity had almost rounded a corner and into five waiting soldiers but Wesker pulled her back just in time, holding her close to his chest while they stuck in a narrow passage while the five soldiers passed them. Once out of ear shot she breathed again and kissed his lips lightly.

"Thanks."

He shook his head with a small sigh, "it would be easier to kill the lights for you but that would alert them."

Trinity shrugged, "I'll be fine with you by me," she smiled slightly.

He kissed her again and had to remind himself that they were in enemy territory and had no time to make-out. Moving again, the two were contacted by Alice suddenly.

"We've been found out; a soldier saw us and raised the alarm."

Wesker growled, "Was it Chris' fault?"

There was silence which was enough of an answer.

"I'll kill him."

Trinity put a hand on his arm to calm him, "stay on your toes all of you," she spoke to all of them, "if they know we're here it just means we don't have to be quiet now," she smirked and loaded her handguns, "we will meet you all in the main lab."

Now discovered, Trinity pulled up the hood of her trench coat to hide her face before taking off running. No longer caring about noise, the two ran down corridors towards their destination. Through labs, scientists tried to stop them but fell. Almost at the main lab, twenty soldiers stood in the way just as the other seven of their team came running. Bullets rained down on the soldiers while Alice, Phoenix, Wesker and Trinity went straight at them with their inhuman strength and speed. The last fell leaving the door wide open.

"This is it," Carlos checked his guns with a click.

Phoenix and Leon nodded to each other while Chris and Jill looked at Trinity. Said woman had her hands curled into fists as she faced the double doors. A hand rested on her arm shoulder and Trinity tilted her head up at Wesker with a small smile.

"Payback time."

Most of them already had a few cuts and scrapes, even the four B.O.W's, but they were fast healing.

Kicking the door down, the nine of them strode in, guns pointed inside. Carlos and Chris checked to their left, Jill and Claire to their right. Alice, Phoenix, Trinity and Wesker held their guns forwards. Stood in front of them was Raphael as she remembered him. His long black hair tied back, black eyes behind shining glasses. The smirk on his face made Trinity's anger boil.

"So nice you could join me at last, I see you brought some company Albert, dare I ask why?" he asked innocently.

Wesker's eyes flashed crimson behind his shades, visible behind even the black lenses, "you've lied to me Raphael for the last time, I do not take betrayal very kindly."
Trinity heard Chris' quiet scoff and swore to hit him round the head once they got out....if they did.

Ooooh!! Things are getting interesting!! Just you wait!!!!!! Keep reviewing and thanks for reading!! :P
