Chapter 97: Questioning the Doppelganger
Y/N POV
Myself, Ada, Derek Simmons, Leon, Ada's doppelganger, the BSAA and now that Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin. Thinking about it, it seemed we were all simply small pieces in one large puzzle. Pawns on a chess board as it were. And I figured that Simmons and the clone were the puppeteers behind what was going on.
After my run-in with Jake and Sherry, I wasted no time getting as far away from them as possible. I knew this wouldn't be my last encounter with them. However I didn't have time to waste playing around with them, not when answers were so close.
I stopped briefly, pulling out my communicator and having a look at the map. By now, I was drawing close to my destination. The blinking light that apparently represented the clone's communicator was only a few buildings ahead of me, directly ahead.
Using my Hookshot, I stuck to the rooftops, avoiding any zombie and any other B.O.W encounters on the streets. Which saved me great time in the process. At last, I arrived at the building in question, a tall apartment block, that rose high above the neighbouring buildings.
Still with my Hookshot in hand though, I was able to latch onto a nearby pipe and just as I was about to reach it, I swiftly retracted the cord and fired it again to latch onto the building's roof until finally, I arrived at my destination.
I stopped, took a look around at my surroundings. The top of the building provided a view looking over the surrounding buildings and beyond it was the river and even further than that were more buildings. As I was taking in the view, I heard a voice behind me simply asking "Enjoying the view?"
Turning around, a figure stepped from the shadows, I instantly found myself staring into the eyes of Ada Wong, but I knew better. The clone took a few more steps forward before I suddenly raised my Samurai Edge handgun, aiming it directly at her face.

I asked in a venomous tone "So, would you mind telling me why I shouldn't just shoot you right here and now? You've caused me enough trouble already." The clone didn't flinch at all from my threat though and instead just gave me a smirk.
"Aww, surely you wouldn't want to shoot your precious Ada Wong would you?" Her tone held fake innocence, further cementing my distrust towards her. I clicked the back of the handgun and simply stated "Try me."
The doppelganger remained silent for a moment causing me to then say "Start talking. NOW." This only made her smirk grow even more before she stepped back slightly as she replied "Very well, I suppose I do owe you something for your troubles, what did you want to know?"
I instantly asked "First off, what is your goal and why do you need me and Ada here to accomplish it?" The doppelganger initially stated "Ah, the obvious. Good question to start with." She then went on to explain.
"To put it quite simply, I want to tear down the corrupt world Simmons created. One, city, at, a, time." The last part of her sentence was broken up into pieces as if she was putting emphasis on each word.
Her response only gave me a general idea and only opened up my next question "And who are you? I know full well you aren't Ada Wong, no matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise. What did Simmons do to you?"
I could tell I'd struck a nerve for the doppelganger however she masked it well, behind that smirk as she stepped forward and replied "Now now, that would ruin all the fun, wouldn't it?" I sighed and mentioned "You still haven't told me why you brought both me and Ada here."
She simply walked past me and now stood at the edge of the rooftops, overlooking the city before replying "Isn't it obvious." Turning back towards me she continued "As soon as my plans came to fruition, I knew the BSAA would be crawling all over the scene. I'd already made an enemy of myself to them in Edonia six months ago, that's when I had an idea."
There was another pause before she continued her speech "I had the idea to lure in the OTHER Ada Wong, while she was desperately trying to figure out what was going on, the BSAA would swoop in and take her in, leaving me with a chance to continue my work in peace. Then I thought, why not sweeten the deal, you Y/N Wesker, were the BSAA's main target for years, I knew that if you were on the scene, you would serve as the perfect distraction-."
Before she could continue I instantly asked "Then why is it that the BSAA seemed oblivious to my presence? Why has everyone I've seen been confused as to my appearance?" The doppelganger stared at me before saying "Because, I noticed quite an opportunity."
She stepped forward, her arrogant smirk changed into a sly grin as she stood right in front of me. She placed her hand strangely on my chest before suddenly going into yet another speech "Y/N Wesker, you became the subject of fascination for me."
I raised an eyebrow as she went on to explain "Forgive my harsh words, but your brother, Albert Wesker was incompetent. He took advantage of his power, allowing it to go to his head until eventually, it cost him his life. You on the other hand, survived and continued to elude the BSAA for years until now. You thrived while your brother withered away surviving only through his son."
It was those final words that properly caught my attention as I abruptly asked "Excuse me?" The clone removed her hand from my chest and stepped back before asking in a semi-mocking tone "Didn't you know? Did it really never occur to you when a boy suddenly shows up possessing extraordinary anti-bodies?"
My eyes widened now as I began "Wait, so-." The clone replied "That's right, Jake Muller is Albert Wesker's illegitimate son. Your nephew, I bet you didn't know you had any family left." I just stared at her in silence.
I understood now, the reason Jake seemed so familiar, both in the old tape and also when I met him in person. It was Albert he reminded me of, my brother, Albert Wesker of all people, had a SON! And he was right here in this city, hell, I had literally met him an hour ago."
By this point, Ada's doppelganger had turned her back to me and once again began walking over to the edge of the roof once again. She gave me a sideways glance and her next sentence only added to the mental strain I was under right now.
"It may interest you to know that your old friend, Chris Redfield is also here. In fact, he's the one who's been leading the little 'witch hunt' for me. I'm just about to pay him a visit myself." She was just about to leave as I stood dazed from the news. Eventually my mind snapped back into focus and I spoke up.
"Wait!" She turned back to look at me as I added "After everything, you think you can just walk away?" I internally laughed, I was beginning to sound like Jake did when I attempted to leave. Ada's clone however just turned and gave me yet another grin before replying.
"I expected as much from you, so I brought a little consolation present for your time." As soon as these words were spoken, the sound of a chainsaw was heard coming from inside the building, coming closer to the door leading out onto the roof.
I heard the doppelganger saying "Speak of the devil." Just as the door was burst from its hinges and a grotesque B.O.W emerged, flailing a chainsaw-like arm about frantically.

I turned just to noticed the doppelganger leap off the top of the building and use her Hookshot to escape. I didn't care though, I would catch up with her sooner or later. And when I did, that little clone would regret messing with me...
