Give The Girl a Chance

Disclaimer: Don't own anything of Resident Evil series games or films. This fic is based around the films. Starting at the end of Apocalypse and kinda follows extinction a little bit here and there. Oh and some character's that die in the movie might not in this story because I liked them too much to kill them. This will definitely be a femslash so don't read if you're offended by that.

Rated M for language and so forth.

First resident evil fic so R&R please.

Chapter 1

It wasn't long after the re-capture that Alice felt the change. And knew when they broke her out Carlos, Jill, LJ and Angela would be in grave danger. This time it wasn't from a virus, it wasn't from Umbrella, it was from herself. Powers Alice had barely got to know were beginning to surface at the most controllable of times. Her sleep. There was a time only she had to fear her nightmares. Now, so did everyone else.

A month had passed since they had broken her out of Umbrella. They were still running from the city, and it was Carlos who was the first to become aware of something different about Alice. Awaking one night to the earth opening up underneath their camp. He had run over to Alice's sleeping form. Shaking her awake, she grabbed at her head where once I.V.'s had been inserted. And the earth slowly halted its movements.

"Alice it's ok. Stop." He grabbed her hands. As Alice gathered the reality around her, she noticed what had happened.

"Alice, what did they do to you?" Carlos was obviously concerned, he figured Umbrella had experimented on her again when they re-captured her after the helicopter crash. However he would never be able to comprehend what they had actually put her through.

"Is everyone ok?" She shakily asked, unable to control the spasms that were still raking her small frame.

Carlos smiled "They're fine. Angela is in with Jill." He pointed to the furthest vehicle as he pulled her in close with his free arm, trying his best to help calm her.

It was another week when Alice was woken by Jill and Carlos grasping her hands trying to wake her from yet another of her vivid nightmares. Rocks and boulders were crashing down around them and the sky clouded over as thunder deafened them. Jill was now shaking Alice violently in a sitting position. As Alice's eyes shot open, Jill almost dropped her. Her pupils glowed in flashes of reds and blues. Carlos had yelled to L.J. to take Angela. They had clambered underneath one of the bigger vehicles and L.J. held his hands over the young girl's eyes. As the others tried to wake their infected friend.

"Fuck Alice, WAKE UP!" Jill screamed in her face as she reached back with one fist, then brought it back down hard into Alice's jaw. Knocking Alice back down to the ground. And with a thunderous noise the boulders and rocks which once had been flying hap hazardously fell around them. The sky cracked with a shard of lightening so bright it was blinding. Alice's body flew up and fell back once more. Alice clawed at her chest frantically. As she pushed on her heals to get away from what had ever been haunting her dreams. She blinked rapidly, the red and blue flashes subsiding. As reality flooded back to her, she could barely lift her head. Her only word whispered before she passed out was "Raine."

Carlos stood there in disbelief. Jill fell back onto her knees, sobbing. "What do we do Carlos?"

"I don't know."

It was days before Angela spoke to Alice. Alice was setting up a motorbike she had recently claimed. Packing her sleeping roll and random cans of food.

"Alice." The small voice had almost startled the older woman.

"Angela. I'm sorry" Alice's eyes were full of concern.

Angela looked down at her feet, feeling slightly guilty it had taken her this long to approach Alice. "No, I'm the one who is sorry. You have saved my life." Angela paused and looking past the woman in front of her and to the bike behind. Her stare came back to calm green eyes. "You're leaving aren't you?"

"Yes." Alice didn't lie to the young girl, who seemed to be growing up faster then she should.

Angela pulled her down and hugged her. "The nightmares are getting worse aren't they?"

"Yes. And until I can control them, I'm too dangerous to be with."

Carlos, Jill and LJ had been quietly watching the whole situation unfold. Alice took Angela by the hand and led her back to where the others had been observing.

Jill being a woman of few words these days nodded and took Angela from Alice. With the goodbyes said. Then with a roar of the engine Alice disappeared.

Alice could barely believe it. She laid back on her bedroll, staring up at the stars. Years had passed since the Hive, where this whole nightmare had begun and Racoon City had been obliterated, and years since she had said goodbye to Carlos and the others. The whole world had changed around her. The human race was falling away. At first the media had covered the Racoon City incident as a horrible nuclear disaster it wasn't long before the story fell apart. Undead spread throughout the smaller surrounding towns. Soon the spread of the virus picked up speed. Wiping out cities in fewer days and moving across the country. Soon other countries fell victim to the T-Virus. The world was no longer able to cope and the earth began to shut down. Yet Alice never gave up, her never ending search for survivors continued. While she tried to live under the radar she jumped from town to town, scavenging supplies from anywhere she could. She scanned endless radio signals for any signs of life. One broadcast had given her hope, and every day she listened to make sure it was still there. For reasons she couldn't explain, the signal comforted her. She had wondered if it was real. Unlike so many others.

Alice turned on her side trying to get more comfortable. It had been a long time, however she could now control her nightmares yet not the powers they brought with them. What the hell did they do to me?

She's decided tomorrow she was going to find that one transmission.

"This is Claire Redfield's convoy. We provide food and safety. Are there any survivors out there?"

Alice arrived just in time! She had found the convoy that had been broadcasting her hope each day. But it was far from the situation she had expected to arrive at. A flamethrower was crazily spraying fire into the sky, desperately trying to burn a mob of hundreds of infected crows attacking the convoy. People scattering and trying to hide in and under vehicles. As the birds attacked the man handling the flamegun mounted to the top of the fuel tanker. He lost control of the flame thrower as the birds set upon him. The flames were heading straight for Carlos and a young girl he was protecting from what would have killed them both. With a flash of fear seeing her friend about to die an invisible barrier went up between Carlos and the flames. Alice's body seized, the sky darkened and all she could see was a wall of white. Collapsing spasm racked her body and her eyes rolled back in her head. Her last image was a shadow of a large figure running to her side yelling her name.

After, Claire LJ Betty and Carlos carried Alice into the abandoned hotel, putting her on a lounge in what appeared to be an office room, and once Betty the convoy's medic had checked Alice over and had decided that the other woman seemed like she was going to be okay. Claire pulled Betty to the side "I want you on watch. Don't let her out of your site and no one's allowed in without my say so." With that she turned and left. Betty slumped into the sit near the door exhausted.

After the events of the morning, Claire's convoy began the unfortunate tasks of burying their comrades. Claire went off to find her close friend. It wasn't long before she found him standing by the side of the bus, she grabbed him by the shoulder spinning him around to face her, trying her best to keep her emotions in check. Wishing they hadn't ran out of cigarettes days ago.

Lifting her aviator sunglasses she stared Carlos in the eyes. "Explain!" was all Claire could conjure after losing more of her people and digging yet more graves, a task she found never got any easier.

"Claire, that's Alice, the Alice." Carlos ducked his head. Still in obvious shock of what had just happened.

Claire's brows almost flew into her hairline. "Alice? As in the one that saved you? The one that killed the Nemesis?" Carlos nodded. Claire shook her head. Never would she thought that she'd ever lay eyes on Alice. Remembering how Alice had almost become folklore, survivors they picked up had told her stories of this so called Alice saving them. But in Claire's mind this raised one big issue. Danger! Carlos had told her of the uncontrollable powers Alice possessed and to her she only saw it as a threat to the few survivors she had left. A threat she wasn't about to have lingering around her convoy.

"She's gotta go!" And before Carlos could argue she replaced her sunnies and turned on her heels and left him standing there more than bewildered.

Carlos stood there shaking his head as he watched the firey red head storm away thinking "How the hell am I going to work this out."

As Claire returned to her vehicle. She couldn't seem to get Alice off her mind. Trying to force her mind to stay on the job at hand of getting her group ready to move sites, she went to open the back door of her hummer about to throw her backpack in, when a hand tapped her on the shoulder. Turning she saw K-mart standing there with a sheepish smile on her face.

Raising an eyebrow Claire smiled coyly at the young girl, "And just what are you after? Oh wait let me guess." Claire put a finger to her lips as she pretended to ponder for a moment "No, nope, and no way." She said seriously however trying her hardest to keep from smiling. K-mart was like her younger sister and teasing came with the territory.

K-mart's smile instantly dropped, "But..."

Claire couldn't hold her frown any longer and burst out laughing at the younger girls reaction, which only annoyed the young blonde further.

"She isn't going to hurt me Claire!" K-mart finished. Looking hurt and annoyed at Claire's answer.

Claire stopped laughing and a flirtatious smile played at her lips, she leaned in to whisper in K-mart's ear so passers by couldn't hear. "You should know nothing gets passed me. I know you slipped passed Betty. I know you gave her one of your bracelets." She paused to take in the look on K-marts face, satisfied she had clearly got K-marts attention she leaned in closer to the shorter blonde's ear and lowering her voice further. "I saw you watching her when we took her into the hotel room. And the way you've been checking on her. I see that sparkle in your eye. Are you crushing on Alice?"

K-mart jumped back she glared daggers at Claire who wore a smile of a chessier cat before she turned away, heading off to find Carlos.

Claire leant back against the vehicle sighing heavily. She knew she was right. She knew because she'd been there herself years ago. But she'd only noticed it about K-mart a few months ago. Everyone thought the young blonde had a crush on Carlos. Claire had to agree she had thought it once too, but with time Claire picked up on a few sly comments K-mart had slipped up on about Betty, the convoy's medic. And after sharing a vehicle for so long she came to know K-mart was a little more talkative in her sleep then the young blonde would probably like to be. Smiling Claire ran her fingers through her hair. Pushing her mind back to work and away from her fallen comrades. Although she couldn't help wondering exactly how Alice would react to being told to leave. What if she kicks my arse? Claire thought; though Claire was a confident fighter I could totally take her. K-marts got one thing right though, she is cute. Claire almost wanted to slap herself at the thought.

It wasn't long before everyone was packed up and were now sitting around waiting for Claire to make the call. Carlos was the first to go looking for their leader. He was surprised to find her hunched over the steering wheel of her hummer.

"Claire?"

Her head popped upright looking like she'd been lacking in too many nights worth of sleep. "Oh, Carlos it's you. How's the convoy looking?"

Carlos smiled, "they're ready to move when you make the call."

The redhead nodded. "What are you looking at me like that for old man?" Claire loved teasing Carlos and she already knew where this conversation was heading

"Give a girl a chance" he smiled his most charming smile. "We'll give you some time, suggest you get some sleep." He pointed at her face and winked as if to say 'you look like shit'. With his point made, he smiled again and left.

Claire slumped back in her chair, rubbing her temples trying to relieve some of the stress beginning to mount. "Was he talking about K-mart or Alice?" Alice,Alice, Alice. Claire let her fingers run back through her hair. Thinking of how to approach the mysterious woman. Digging in her pocket she reached for a cigarette "Fuck, that's right!"

Next chapter the story should pick up in pace,plus who doesn't love a girl fight, right? let me know what you think so far! I checked for mistakes, but I hope I got them all.
