The bonds of family

First topic message reminder :

Claire stared down at her ring, and realised she didn't want to contact Leon. She wanted him far away from Alex and any harm she could do him. "The last thing I remember is being put under for surgery. I don't know how i ended up here, or even how long I've been here." She confessed. Her secret fear, was that Leon would believe her dead.

Parker shook his head and rose to his feet. "I don't the help of some lovesick children!" He sneered. "I'll find Rebecca myself!"

Wesker quickly shook off the surprise attack, casting only a quick glance to Ramona before he picked himself up again. "How like her, hiding behind her one and only monster." He sneered.

"You sound scared, old mam." Steve mocked, coming closer. "You know I've gotten stronger under Alex. You'll see." Ramona snorted at this, ripping AR hee shirt and holding it to the blood in Jakes stomach.

Wesker was smiling throughout the exchange, knowing the easiest of ways he could break this monster. Not yet, no... He wanted him destroyed, not merely broken.
Jake was pushing his mother's fingers away, struggling back to his feet even as his blood dripped freely. "Get Sherry out of here!" He hissed before standing beside his father.

Steve was cracking his knuckles as he headed toward father and son. "Oh good. Three for the price of one." He purred. His eyes strayed to Ramona as she stood behind them. "I think I'll go for weakest link first."

Wesker didn't glance back to check Ramona was okay, he knew she was. "All these years, and you're still just a worthless puppy. I imagine the Redfield's had quite the amusement at your expense."

Steve narrowed his eyes, making it clear that he believed the very same thing. The wound was still painfully raw. "You're just pissed I wouldn't work for you after what you did to Claire." 
Alex was back at the entrance of the plane, another monster now standing behind her. "That's Neil." Ramona hissed behind her lover. "Oh my god...that's Neil!"

"You should be more concerned with what I'm going to do to her." Wesker purred with an ice cold smile. He was looking at Steve, but aware of what Ramona was describing to him.

Something else flashed in Steve's eyes, this looked a little bit more like worry. "You're lying." He said after a moment, his expression changing. "Kennedy took her months ago. No way you stole her from him." 
Ramona gave a little snort at this. "Wow. You were right. The Veronica virus really did make them ignorant." 
Steve promptly flipped her off, baring his teeth.

Wesker was grinning now, realising Steve knew even less than nothing. "Even the Kennedy boy scout dismissed her the second he was able. His high moral standards hardly make him the type to want a whore, least of all one carrying the spawn of a monster."

It was clear that Steve didn't quite understand. He was frowning deeply. Ramona came to stand on the other side of Wesker, her arms crossed over her chest. "Simple words for a simple monster, Albert." She said with a soft laugh. The young man snarled loudly and surged toward them, his claws growing with his rage.

Wesker pushed Ramona aside to keep her from harm, whilst avoiding the attack himself, openly laughing and mocking Steve. "Okay, perhaps this may help matters. I have your girlfriend, and the child you fathered. Does the pathetic monster understand now?" He sneered.

"You shut up!" Steve screamed, a heavy bit of rubble flying in between father and son. "You are trying to screw with me! She told me about you!" 
Ramona was worried about Jake, he was bleeding heavily and it wasn't stopping. Not to mention she'd lost sight of Neil.

Wesker was smiling, still not having told Steve the best part. "She doesn't even remember you." He purred, savouring every one of those words.
Jake was still trying to protect Sherry. He couldn't imagine her being stolen from him by a bullet after everything they had been through.

Steve dropped the next piece of concrete he held, his fingers shaking and his skin turning an odd shade of pink. "I...I..." He no longer seemed able to hold the anger that made him a monster. "She...why?" he breathed. And then all at once his skin returned to it's nasty color and he bared his teeth again. "It was Leon! That son of a bitch didn't want her to love me! He did this! I'll kill him!" 

Ramona didn't see the tentacle until it had wrapped around her ankle and yanked her off her feet. Her head hit the ground before she could stop it and her world spun all before she found herself sliding across the ruined hospital grounds and toward Alex's plane.

"Oh no, this was all you." Wesker purred. "Kennedy played his part and returned her to her brother, then simply walked away. After all, why would he want damaged goods?" He sneered just as Ramona was jerked away from him.

Steve shot toward Wester and threw him off his feet. This sent him further away from Ramona. "A-Albert!" she managed to shout as she reached the plane doors. Alex had begun to laugh maniacally, thinking she had won. This victory would truly be a big one.

Jake surged across the concrete, seeming to either not feel his wounds, or not really care if he survived them. His shoulder slammed into Neil and he dug his fingers into whatever flesh he could find, tearing at the other monster until he felt blood run. He just didn't know if it belonged to Neil... or him.

Steve was out of his mind at this point. He neither saw nor felt the bullet that slammed into his chest. He hit the ground, grunting in pain as more bullets began to rain down around them. Even Ramona screamed in pain as one or two hit her. 
Chris Redfield and Barry Burton stood atop the plane, raining down metal into anything that moved. He was more than a little glad he'd gotten Jill and their baby out of the way.

Several of the bullets hit Wesker before he pinpointed where they came from. "You!" He hissed that one word as he glared up at Chris.
Jake, however, lay motionless on the ground. Two more bullets had hit him, his rather human body unable to take any more punishment.

Chris was grinning widely, glad for once to have the upper hand. "Good to see you too, Captain!" He shouted, his next shot catching Wesker in the knee. "Sorry to break up the party!" 
Alex released bio monsters from the back end of the plane. Soon enough the area was flooded with them and they were heading toward the more human of those on the ground.

While he could regenerate quickly, it wasn't instantaneous. Wesker sucked in a sharp breath. He didn't like surprises. At least not ones he wasn't the instigator of. He was quick to take cover however and survey the situation. "Chris Redfield..." Even as he snarled the name, he was thinking of ways he would make Claire suffer for this.

Ramona was cursing the man's name as well as she laid herself across her son. A zombie landed hard on her back and began trying to roll over, its nails digging deeply into her already bruised ankle. "Son of a..." She was cursing under her breath as she tried to kick it off with her good leg, all the while attempting to keep it away from Jake. 
Steve simply lay where he was, laughing. Nothing was bothering him. He was a dead monster just like the rest of them. At least...that was until Sherry Birkin woke up...

Wesker was keeping a watchful eye on everything. Except Sherry. He didn't see her move as he limped across battlescene, firing shots into several zombies before he reached Ramona. "Is he breathing?"

Chris was still on top of the plane. He and Barry now had a contest going on to see who would fell the most undead. And fire shots at Wesker himself. So far Redfield, being the marksman, was winning. 
"He is..." Ramona whispered, her head down. "But I'm not sure for how much longer..." She lifted her hand, showing him that her fingers were completely covered in blood. "Albert...if you don't kill them...I will..." She promised, her chin quivering in a mixture of heartbreak and rage. 

Somewhere to their left Sherry was tearing through hunters, not even stopping to notice what they were or if they were hurting her back. She was again shut off to her human side. None of it seemed to matter any more.

WEsker nodded his head, closing his fingers over Ramona's and squeezing them. "Get him out of here. Redfield will suffer for this, I promise." He breathed, leaning closer to kiss her forehead lightly. He may have done far worse things to other people over the years, but Chris Redfield was going to suffer unimaginably for this.

"Come home to me." Ramona whispered as he kissed her on the forehead. A bullet separated them. 
Chris' cheer cut through the air. "Ten points for the kid! Twenty for the son of a bitch's woman! I get first shot!"

With barely a glancem WEsker sliced a bullet through Barry's shoulder. That was merely a warning shot, he planned to make the both of them suffer much longer than a single bullet to the brain.

Ramona tumbled away from Wesker as one of Chris' high powered rounds hit her in the shoulder. Like him she now healed quickly but not so quickly that a shot like that didn't hurt her. "Eye for an eye. Right, Captain?" Chris shouted. 

Sherry made sure that Jill and the baby were on a helicopter, killing a pilot and setting the elder woman up to fly it without ever once speaking to her. "Go. Lizard is your last chance to start fresh. If you stay this hell will never end. I will find Chris and bring him to you."

Barry took a hit to the knee before Wesker jumped up onto their vantage point and shoved the elder man down into the growing mass of undead below.

"You kick his ass for me first though, right?" Jill breathed. "But Claire... I need to go home and get her!" She added, looking rather panicked.

"Going that route?" Chris hissed, firing a shot at Ramona in retaliation. When the first didn't hit her he went for Jake. These hit the young man, two on each leg. "You get what you pay for, asshole. I told you that before." 
Wesker wouldn't have time to react. Bullets began to fly out of the top of the plane where he was standing. Someone was shooting at him too.
