Claire walked though the crowded isle, trying her best to stay out of the way of the other passengers, which honestly was one of the most annoying things she'd ever done. Lucky for her, she hadn't taken any carry-ons, so that made the task slightly easier. So, after a "quick" shuffle through the small space, she finally reached her seat. Claire almost fell in, relieved to be out of the mess. Besides the issues of airline costs, the quickest flight she could grab was coach, definietly not her choice of travel, but the girl didn't have any more options.
The burnette couldn't stop shifting restlessly, she hated to be crowded, with so many people on an airplane. With what happened only a month or two earlier at the other airport. The memories haunted her, and she could only sit and stay still. It chilled her.
"Hey, baby." Claire frowned in irritation, for it annoyed her like nothing else when guys tried to hit on her pathetically, and turned her head. The guy next to her was nothing other then the everyday New Yorker in a buisness suit. He was staring at her cleavage, then down the rest of her body. "You must work out a lot." he lifted his hand and reached for her thigh. She grabbed it quickly and threw it away.
"How dare you! If you don't want any body part broken then I suggest you keep to yourself!" she had no problem telling him off, and the man wore a shocked look on his face. Only for a few moments.
"I like tough girls." he chuckled lightly and started to move forward again, in response, Claire raised her arm and made a fist...
"Excuse me." a friendly voice behind her whispered.
"Aw SHIT!" The man had scrunched his face and put his free hand on his upper chest, and leaned forward in pain. She could hear him swearing to the seat. "...god damn..." Claire smiled, she had meant to punch his jaw, but she figured that at least she got her point across.
"Um...mam?" She turned to see a young flight attendent, small, and constantly glancing at the jackass in the next seat. "If you want....we have free seat in first class...I mean...if you want it."
"Yes." Claire said firmly and in relief. She quickly jumped out of her seat and walked though the now nicely clear isle. She had the idea of leaving a nice goodbye for the man, then changed her mind, but then decided 'why not'? She  smoothly gave him a flash of her middle finger and went into the first class room. It was much more comfortable, and assured her a much more relaxing days trip.


"Chris!" She yelled excitedly and ran up and into his open arms. There wasn't ever a day when she didn't worry about him, he was the only family she had and Claire was relived to know that he was alright. Especially when on hears all the dangerous operations the BSAA does on a regular basis.
"Hey, sis." He waited till he was done, then he showed his serious side. The urgent Chris. "Hurry up and grab your things, it isn't safe here." He glanced at the crowds of many impatient and sleep-walking people. Nervousness was in his eyes. Claire just nodded, she understood. A few minutes later she had her things and they headed out to Chris's truck. Then, onto the highway.
Claire leaned back into her seat. "Are you going to tell me whats going on now?"
"I don't think this is the right time." he said simply, not taking his eyes off the road.
"And why not? Chris I just got off a huge flight into this random country and you haven't even given any reasons for why or....." she stopped herself and sighed, "I'm sorry."
"It's alright..." He looked down on her sadly, "I shouldn't have done that to you. I'll tell you." He noticed her neck garmet, and was slightly surprised. He had thought that was gone in Antartica. Claire had moved and looked up with interest. "The guys at the BSAA had hacked into the Tri-cell data base. The uh....replacements for Umbrella." he had to add when she saw the confused look on his sister's face. "We learned that two experiments escaped. They both contain a strand of T-Virus. One with G and the other with T-Veronica..."
Claire felt a chill run down her spine, and memories of dreaded experiences filled her. "And...what do they want with me?"
Chris gripped the steering wheel harder, "God Claire, I'm so sorry. They needed someone with experience with the two viruses to tell us what they're up against." He glared at the road. "Apparently, Leon's and my word aren't good enough."
It did supply some comfort and que
stions.
"Look, it's fine. What ever to get rid of those things." she turned to stare out the window and put her fingers on her collar.
"Anyways." he continued. "We need to figure out what we're up against. And until we hear from Rebecca, we don't know how strong these things are. And...that's where you come in..."
Claire didn't answer, she just kept starting out the window.
"Look, I know this is hard for you, but we gotta do this." he waited for an answer, and only got a nod. "You'd better just get comfortable, this is gonna be a long ride."


Claire had to flinch at the bright, piercing man-made light.
'Wonder if anyone's ever gone blind in here' She thought to herself. The BSAA building was surprisingly beautiful, and strict at the same time. And white, too much white things. It looked like something you would expect inside the pentagon or white house. Chris obviously knew where he was going, or didn't mind the light at all.
"This way." he said briefly and led her into a room. It looked like a board room, but with plenty of technology. Huge screens, gps's, computers. It was amazing. She looked around to the people in the seats.
"Claire, bout time you show up." Leon called, with a smile on his face. He hadn't changed a lot.
"Hey Leon." she smiled in return and looked to the other people. She barley reconised Barry, and a young teen next to him. She had black hair and tan skin, and had to be at most 16 or 17. She also saw two women. One of them went up to her brother and punched him in a friendly greeting, the other (Who she thought she had seen before) had long blonde hair. She have her brother a little to warm of a hug.
"Claire, this is Jill..." He glanced at the blonde.
"No way." the burnette was shocked. She simply nodded her head and walked across the room.
"Ahhem...and this is Sheva." he pointed to the tough looking girl leaning against a table. "You know Leon and Barry, but not Barry's adoptive daughter Lucia."
"No, I havent..." she walked up to the teenager and held out her hand.
Lucia reluctantly shook it. "Yeah...nice to meet you."
Claire couldn't help but notice a scar across the girl's palm.
"So, now that we're all here... what the hell are we gonna do?" Leon called and got everyone's attention.
"There's nothing we can do until we get word from Rebecca." Chris replied.
"Is she even alive?" Leon asked bluntly.
"Don't say that!" Jill talked just as Chris opened his mouth. "She's smarter then you think."
Barry coughed. "Why don't we just take Claire to the data room while we wait for her."
Chris shot him a thankful glance. "Let's go." he said simply.
