Chapter Text
The J’avo smacked him across his face again, earning a slight hiss from the battered agent. His face dirty and bloodied from his previous mission, Leon turned his head back to the J’avo and spit in his face. “Fuck off, failed science experiment.” That earned him another slap, and the J’avo began having a conversation with the two others in the corner.
At least Leon could say his life isn’t lacking adventure. Once again, he is captured and taken who knows where. The way the ground feels like it’s swaying slightly makes him guess he is on a ship. Dammit, why did he always end up in these situations? Ever since Racoon City, his whole life revolved around fighting for the world. He knew he needed to take a stand bioterrorism and fight for the world, and he’s made it through so much. Racoon, Spain, Tall Oaks. He’s dealt with monsters like Birkin, Salazar, and Mendez, but out of everyone, he never thought being captured by Simmons while in China with Helena, Sherry, and Jake.
What were they doing to the rest of them? Leon was valuable since he was a government agent working right under the President. Capturing Helena was personal for Simmons, but Jake and Sherry, they were the ones he really wanted. Each of them have a virus in their blood. Who knows what he has planned for them?
Suddenly, an alarm was sounding, blaring into his ears. The J’avo in his room rushed out quickly, and he was left alone.
“I hope the others are alright,” he said to himself.
“Alpha Team, you are clear to drop onto carrier. Find the hostages, get them out. Bravo Team will work on claiming the top deck.”
“Roger that,” the First Lieutenant responded. He finished loading his machine pistol, grabbed his anti-material rifle, and rejoined the rest of the team at the back of the chopper.
“Agent Valentine,” the Lieutenant started, “is it really a good idea to have a TerraSave agent with us on this?”
Jill turned around to face the Lieutenant. “Trust me, I am not particularly comfortable with her on this mission and neither is Chris, but Claire is capable of handling herself. She survived Racoon just like me, Leon and Sherry. This is personal for her, so I let her come along, which Chris will definitely punish me for in some way when this is over. Keep your eye on her when we get down there, Piers.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Claire, are you sure about this?” her brother asked.
Chris Redfield, never able to accept the fact that his baby sister is a grown, independent woman who is more capable than she seems.
“Chris, I love you” she paused to give him a quick kiss on the cheek, ”and while I may not be BSSA trained, I’m Redfield trained. Sherry is like my little sister and Leon…well, you know what Leon means to me. I’ll do whatever you tell me, but I am going with you to save them,” she said determined.
Claire Redfield, as stubborn and hard headed as her brother. Chris looked at her and sighed, but agreed reluctantly. “I hate Jill,” he mumbled. “Fine, but stay close and follow mine or Jill’s commands. We tell you to duck, you duck. If we say fall back, you better fall back.”
“Roger that, Captain,” she said offering him a salute.
The chopper began to make its descent onto the carrier. “Captain Redfield, contact us once you have secured the hostages. We’ll pick you up at the designated LZ,” the pilot spoke.
“Roger that.” Chris then turned to face his team. “Listen up, our mission here is simple. Find and rescue Agents Kennedy, Harper, and Birkin, and Jake Muller. Kill any J’avo you see, and stay together. You all may be willing to die for the BSAA, but it’s my job to make it sure we all come home.”
“Nobody’s expendable,” Piers added.
“No one try to be a hero either,” Jill started. “Each of you is valuable to our cause, and you all make a difference in the world. We can’t afford to lose anyone. Don’t underestimate the enemy, remain vigilant, and be smart.”
“No one get’s left behind, not on my watch,” Chris said. “Understood?”
“Yes, sir!” the team shouted in unison.
Chris looked over to his sister, and the smile that she gave him showed how proud of him she was. He smiled back, and the chopper touched down. The team went into formation, and as the doors open, they set down onto the carrier.
