Beginning of the Fledgling Leon fic
She came as soon as she heard the gunfire and didn't at all like the sight that greeted her. Leon was on the ground completely and utterly sounded and she could smell the blood from here.
She cleaned out the infected but she knew as soon as she laid eyes on him it was a helpless thing. He met her eyes and she knew he understood.
He'd never stood a chance. She crouched down next to him and watched the blood leave him, “I'm sorry Leon…”
“It's ok, was going to happen eventually.” He grit out smile still on his face
She shook her head, “Should have helped more, but you'll be fine you're not done yet Kennedy I'm not just going to let you leave me.”
“Promise?” He asked and she tried to ignore the blood leaking from his mouth.
She didn't answer just bit into his neck and let the venom she always refused to use flood his system. She didn't know how much was necessary never having turned anyone, but she aired on the side of caution.
Once she was done she pulled away and met dulling eyes. “You'll come back.”
“Promise?” He slurred out.
“Can't get rid of me that easily.” She confirmed.
Like that he faded away and Ada wanted to scream. It wasn't fair on any account and she'd never wanted to turn him. She took a breath and reached to grab the earpiece she knew he wore and started speaking as she put it in.
“Hunnigan.”
The DSO officer was speaking immediately, “Tell me I didn't just hear what the fuck I think I did?” She all but demanded her voice shaker then Ada was sure she intended it to be.
“He won't stay gone, I made sure of it.”
Hunnigan knew her deal, in fact the officer was one of the only people in the world who knew about it all. The list was minuscule and pretty much started and ended with Leon's closest friends.
“Oh Jesus Christ.” Hunnigan breathed out.
“We have bigger issues Hunnigan. Like how you're going to have a vampire working for the DSO”
Cursing was her answer as the full implication seemed to hit finally. They would want to dissect him like they had wanted to with Sherry, but probably even more so.
“Is the mission complete?” Hunnigan asked to confirm something she already knew.
“It is, he succeeded.” Ada confirmed. The lab had been destroyed, and the data gathered. She had watched it from afar.
“Simple then, he succeeded but got really hurt and sent to the BSAA's closest facility for medical attention.”
“Chris could confirm that story.” She agreed as she thought it over, “It'll take a week for him to be the Leon you know. So they took him for a week, but something happened, say it was a third party.”
“We need to get Chris in on this and a good story.”
“Can you patch him in?” Ada questioned as she checked over Leon once more before picking up his limp body and started making her way back towards the compound.
She was going to have a fledgling shortly and she did not have enough blood in her system to manage one. That was something else she was going to have to bring up.
Moments later Chris was talking, “What? I'm busy.”
“It's Leon.” Huntington said without preamble.
“What happened?” Chris immediately pressed hearing the shake in Hunnigan’s voice.
“I had to turn him.” Ada explained as she repositioned Leon in her hold. He was big and awkward in his dead weight.
“WHAT?!” Chris demanded with sudden vitriol.
“Don't be like that Redfield. I didn't have a choice. It was either this or he was dead permanently.”
So far
It's up!
