The ash tickled his nostrils as he inhaled in and out through his nose. Leon sneezed kicking up more dust and started coughing. His head at least didn't hurt nearly as bad as it had earlier, but his back was killing him.

"Man, I'm getting old." He muttered as he brought himself up to his knees, running a hand through his hair. He felt grimy, he winced as he sat back on his bottom.

"Hello handsome." Ada sat about five feet away, clutching what appeared to him to be sniper rifle. He tried to focus on it, but his vision blurred after a moment. He gave up and closed his eyes. He wanted to drag himself through the dirt and strangle her, but he didn't have the energy to do it at the moment. And at some point, she had just saved his life. Again.

"Why did you do it?" He took a second glance at her, finally seeing that something was off. Ada had always been stylish. Hell, he'd seen her fight in a dress before, the slit in the side up so he, he could almost see... He pushed that memory away. Right now, she was wearing scrubs, pink... with a sniper rifle clutched protectively across her chest. She stared at him, neither flinching, nor backing down. She looked tired for once. Gone was the cocky "I know something you don't know" attitude. If he was a betting man, he thought she actually looked scared, for once in her life.

"Why did I do, what?" His mouth dropped open.

"You helped Wesker get Sherry." Ada didn't reply, although she did clutch the gun a little more protectively to her chest. She made no reply, only looked toward the east where the sun was started to make its descent.

"We need to get moving."

"Answer the question." Leon stared at her. It was unnerving to see her this disconcerted. The sniper rifle looked like it was her lifeline.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Damn it, Ada." Leon suddenly lashed out at her, she brought up the gun in between them, he knocked it away to the side and pinned her to the ground, with both hands over her head. Both of them were breathing hard.

"Probably isn't a good time for this, Leon." She whispered huskily. Leon groaned and closed his eyes for a moment.

"Just answer the question, Ada, and for once in your life be straight with me." She didn't say a word but simply stared back up at him, amusement across her features. No trace of fear, even with him holding her down. "Why did you help Wesker take Sherry."

"I didn't." Leon lowered his face to hers.

"I saw you. I was there. You were there." He still badly wanted to kiss her. This wasn't exactly the way this interrogation was supposed to go.

"And you have all these clones of Wesker floating around...you didn't stop to think for just one moment, especially after last year, there's one of me running around."

"The last one is dead. Chris shot her."

"There is another, there has to be."

"Why?" Leon shook his head in disbelief. "You've worked with Wesker before..."

"So, what." Ada shifted under him and hooked a leg around his waist, stretching as she did so. Leon's eyes flicked down her torso and she yanked her arms out of his grasp to grab him around the neck. Even in nurse's scrubs, she looked hot to Leon. She twisted to the side, and Leon lost his balance as she pushed him over. If he had been in top shape, he might have kept her pinned but as it was his head was still half groggy, his back hurt, and he probably had pulled a muscle in his right leg. They rolled over and she was now on top.

"Up until earlier today, I was locked in a cell." She informed him placing a hand on either side of his face. "I haven't been out anywhere, or done anything for a few days."

"So, you weren't hired to get at Sherry." Leon had both hands around her waist this time, determined to not let her get the better of him.

"No, I was hired, I just hadn't finished the job to Wesker's liking. He's back."

"I know. We met." Leon shuddered, but he wasn't sure if it was because Ada was sitting on him, or the encounter with Wesker. He needed to find Chris, Claire, and Jill but the odds stacked against him at the moment. Or rather on top of him. His brain struggled with what was going on, he'd taken one too many knocks to the head today. "So, what are you doing here, now?" Leon couldn't get past the outfit, it was so unlike her. Actually, this whole encounter was unlike her. If there was another clone of Ada Wong out there again, was this it?

Ada lowered her face to his. "What does it look like? I'm escaping." She crushed her lips against his and Leon pulled her against him. Hell, did it matter now? He felt her fingers curl into his hair. He would have been lying if he hadn't thought about what this would be like again. It did nothing to unravel the mystery of who she was. If she was real or not... But he wasn't thinking about any of that right now. He groaned against her lips as he pulled her down underneath him. Something must be seriously wrong. Ada had always flirted with him, but this? He looked down at her looking for some sign that would indicate she was who she said she was...

Damn it, as much as he would love to...

"There could be more of those things..." He pulled away, inwardly he was cursing himself out.

"What are they?" She asked without missing a beat, referring the creature she'd just shot. As if she hadn't just kissed him. He stared at her, wanting to feel that kiss again.

"How did you get here Ada? If that's who you are..." He kept her pinned more firmly this time.

"I told you, I was in a cell. I woke up dressed like this and have been trying to figure out where I am..."

"And the gun?"

I took it off a dead guard after that thing attacked him..."

He stared at her, warring with what his body wanted to do, and what he really needed to be doing. Finding his partner, his friends and getting the hell out of here.

He pulled himself up. She had saved his life, just like Ada in the past. Although, she'd never come on so strong before. Gone was her confidence. He couldn't imagine anything shaking Ada badly enough although that last creature was a nightmare come to life.

"What was the price, Ada?" He looked her right in the eyes as he pulled her up after him.

She stilled and looked him in the eye. "It was too high."

Too high? That didn't tell him much except that even Ada had her limits. She moved away from him then and held the gun close, listening to the sounds around them.

"Where are we?"

"Near Raccoon City." Ada froze again, this was where they'd first met. Where she had first fooled him, he thought she'd died. Things were coming full circle. For all of them.

"This is some reunion," She whispered.
