“Kara, you can use any weapon - the key is to focus and control your breathing.”
Her father crouched next to her as she drew back the arrow, the fletch barely touching her cheek as she focused on the doe peacefully grazing grass from across the way. She took a deep breath as the cold November air nips at her nose and cheek. She felt the tips of her fingers going numb as she waited patiently before deciding to fire, watching the arrow fly.
She heard the doe cry into the air before falling over into the grass.
Kara opens her eyes and she’s still in the Jeep heading to Valdelobos, this was her first actual mission outside of doing damage control on behalf of the DSO whenever an outbreak occurred stateside. She looks out the window at the trees, how they were dying, and how she knew in a matter of months that it would be winter again. Her knowledge of nature and everything that was taught to her by her father was the reason that she was a good partner for the mission to save the President’s daughter.
“You alright?” Leon asks, she glances over at him and nodded, “Nightmares again?”
Leon Kennedy was probably the only friend that Kara had, and only because Kara didn’t have much time for much else when she wasn’t dealing with June or work. He’d been the golden boy of the DSO, and Kara could expect it - he was a cop when they first met six years ago, and it was because of him that she and June survived alongside Claire and Sherry. But outside of that, it seemed that he understood her better than most.
He lived with her and June, and whenever she had a fit of nightmares or he did - they were the go-to for each other’s comfort.
She shakes her head, “No, just, dreaming about the first time I went hunting with my dad.”
“Ah,” Leon says as he looks ahead at the two cops escorting them, “you drool by the way.”
Kara smacked his chest, causing a quiet laugh to escape Leon before she huffs, “How much further?”
“Can’t be too far, however, our escorts are more or less excited about actually getting us there,” Leon says before looking down at the photo in his hand.
Kara looked down, the photo was of the woman they were both here to look for. More so Leon rather than her. Blonde bob, a kind face, and wearing an orange jacket and red scarf, it was the last photo taken of Ashley Graham shortly before her disappearance from the Georgetown campus. Kara sighed. She hoped that the girl would be alright -
“So, tell me, Yanqui...” One of the officers, specifically the one in the passenger seat spoke, “why did you come to this horrible place?”
He glances over at Kara, “Not much of a place for a honeymoon, it’s as close to nowhere than I’ve ever seen.”
Kara rolled her eyes and for once, held back her tongue as Leon spoke, “Let’s just say... looking for someone.”
The cop laughs just a bit, “That someone must be pretty important, eh?” He glances over at his partner, “Can you believe it? These two show up, and the Chief himself says, ‘help them’...”
Leon rolls his eyes, “Well I’m sure you boys didn’t come all the way out here to roast marshmallows, or maybe you did.”
“Or to maybe sit on their thumbs,” Kara says, making Leon chuckle.
The cop shakes his head as he looks between the two, “You two have a very strange sense of humor - I’m going to let you in on a little secret, just between us, a lot of people have gone missing around here and it’s been that way for a while now.”
Leon was rather unbothered, “Well, then it should be just another day in the office... right?”
Kara’s interest becomes more piqued as the officer continues, “Well, I mean, just last week there was a search for some missing hikers.”
“I’m sure you’ll do you best to help us,” Leon says
Kara eyes the officer, “I promise, we don’t get startled easily.”
The jeep later comes to a halt and the officer steps out, Kara sighs as she gets out of the car to stretch. She looks around, the dying trees reminded her of the few times she went to stay at the cabin with her father during deer season. She could still remember learning how to set up the stands prior, wearing her grandfather’s heavy coat to mask her scent from the animals, to think that she was out here only because of those moments, it was those skills that had become a second nature to her.
She sighs, Leon spoke up, “You sure you wanna be out here?”
“Could’ve asked me that back at the airport,” Kara says as she looks over at him, “I’m kind of already out here.”
“Fair point,” He says as he looks around, “have you looked at the maps for this place?”
“So much that I can see ‘em behind my eyelids at night,” Kara says as she gets off the jeep, she glances around until she spots a familiar plant, “Hey wait a minute...”
Leon follows behind her, “Kara, wait -”
“Relax,” Kara says as she plucks the sprig, the smell hits her nose, “It’s rosemary, good for muscle spasms and headaches, also tastes really good on chicken.”
He chuckles as she hands him the sprig as she stands back up, he studies it, “How do you know?’
“Well, Mom used to dabble with home remedies despite her being a nurse,” Kara explains as she looks at the bush, “Strange it’s growing in the mountains - well, more so these parts, it grows near the coast.”
“Seems like there’s a lot of strange things around here,” Leon comments as he glances around, he looks up to see a raven flying overhead of them, “Gotta keep our heads together.”
“Right.”
Leon Kennedy has known Kara Ridenour for about six years now, and never did he think he would find himself entangled in her life. Especially moving in with her sometime after Raccoon City, he had become a close friend as the two only had one another with everything that had happened.
He didn’t want her to come with him - but it was heavily suggested for two reasons; Kara was a survivalist, a hunter who could be a great help and the other, making it just a bit less terrifying for when they find Ashley. Despite the reasoning, he knew how much she didn’t want to leave home, how much she didn’t want to leave June. Plus, the last time he had a partner for a mission, it didn’t exactly go as planned.
“I got you something,” Leon tells her, eyeing her, “it’s in the trunk of the Jeep.”
Kara raised her brow and followed him to the back, he pops the door and reveals a large black bag aside from his own gear. He grabs the bag and opens it up, “I talked to the weapons development team about coming up with something that you might be a bit more comfortable with, still keep that pistol but…”
Her eyes widened at the black recurve bow in front of her, “Here I thought you said bows were impractical.”
He chuckles, “There’s a bit more a kick to at least the arrows. They’re marked properly; red is explosive, black is regular run of the mill, crafted to be more silent in case we run into trouble.”
Her delicate fingers dance along the leather quiver and the fletch for the arrows themselves, “You think we’ll run into trouble?”
“Not too crazy to think so,” He says as he looks over at her, “you like it?”
“Yeah, feels so… special,” Kara says as she pulls out the quiver and slings it across her body, “so, it’s specially crafted for bioweapons and all that?”
Leon nodded as she goes to grab the bow, “Yeah, pulled a lot of favors - I know how you feel about guns so, thought this would be a nice little ‘first mission’ present.”
She chuckles, cracking a small smile, “God, is it that painfully obvious?”
“I live with you, I know you,” Leon says nudging her, “I know it’s not ideal but you’re capable and I believe in you, if that means anything.”
“It means a lot,” She says, looking up at him - he found himself momentarily stunned by her hazel eyes, they were more blue than anything, but so pretty in the little bit of sunlight coming down, “thank you, Leon.”
He gives a small smile, and he could feel it that maybe this was the time to tell her what’s been brewing in his mind for the last six years but he backs off, he looks around. It had been awhile since that cop walked off.
It was then the partner got out of the Jeep, “Hey he’s been gone awhile - maybe you both should go and take a look. I’ll watch the car, don’t want to get a parking ticket and all that.”
Kara rolls her eyes and gets herself situated, bow in hand and quiver across her back as the two start walking. Leon looks over, “So much for helping, huh?”
Kara shakes her head, “They weren’t gonna help regardless.”
The two began walking into the forest, she was so used to a few birds singing here and there but in this instance, the woods were silent. Not a song to be heard.
“No birds are really out,” Kara says as she crushes a leaf under her boot, “strange.”
“Isn’t that normal?” Leon asks
She shakes her head, “I mean it is and it isn’t, aside from the crow we saw - it’s been silent, I don’t like that.”
“This place gets stranger by the minute,” Leon spoke as he looks around while they walk, “How far could that guy have gone?
The rancid smell of decay hits her nose as they stumble further and find a deer carcass. Kara covers her nose as Leon’s nose scrunches in disgust, “Gross.”
Kara takes her hand off her nose, “Definitely. I’d say at least if you’re planning on taking the bones - could’ve, I don’t know, actually cleaned the corpse? Take the insides and well, let nature and the sun do the rest.”
Leon eyes her, “Speaking from experience?”
“Yeah, Dad would keep the skulls after using the meat for jerky and really whatever,” Kara says as she kneels down to get a closer look, she noted the melted red candles that surrounded, “this… this is more sacrificial, see the candles?”
Leon nodded as he put a few of the candles out, “Think it’s a cult?”
Kara’s eyes met his, “I don’t know but this is all still fresh, at least maybe thirty minutes to an hour, tops. So whoever left it here would be…” she looks around before spotting the rest of the trail, “there, grass is down so someone must’ve stepped through recently.”
“Where would I be without you?” Leon spoke as the two started walking again, “seriously - how do you know this stuff?”
“Told you before - I grew up in a small town in the Arklay Mountains, Dad was a cop and Mom was a nurse. Dad didn’t have a son so I went on all the hunting trips with him, he was a survivalist but maybe a tad bit bordering on doomsday prepper.” she spoke as a bird flew overhead, “I mean, he’d be happy to know it wasn’t all for nothing, at least.”
“You grew up near Raccoon City, how did...”
She sighs as she looks ahead, “Mom worked in the city, our little town was at least four or five hours away, but there’d already been a few reports of cannibals in the mountains, everyone around town suspected it was all some scary story, ya know, I mean, we were a month away from October.” The memory sent a shiver down her spine, “Mom was the first to get sick because she worked at the hospital, no meds were working, and we were already broke - so it was a lot of barely getting by, and Dad... well, he thought Jesus could fix it. When meds and prayer ran out, Mom died, we just didn’t think she’d get back up.”
They came to a stop at a hunting cabin, decrepit and definitely could’ve seen better days. More of the rancid smell of decaying flesh hit Kara’s nose. She stepped across the threshold first before Leon, a quick glance over, “I think whoever lives here is the one sacrificing animals, look.”
She points to where there were buckets of entrails among other things, some of it didn’t feel too entirely human, “They’ve been busy.”
“Let’s head inside, yeah?” Leon says as he steps in front of her, the two walk inside the cabin as he calls out, “Anyone home?”
Kara looked around, the house was dirty and dilapidated, it had gone to ruin and the candlelight made her wonder if someone was still here. She also noticed strange effigies, she stepped away from Leon to pick one up, the strangeness made her think of The Blair Witch Project.
“Kara.” Leon spoke, she turned and he gestured for her to follow him.
She does and the pair walk into a room where a bearded man mutters to himself in Spanish, Kara looked down and noticed the cop’s badge. She picked it up as Leon made his way around the table to talk to the man, “Sorry to barge in like this, I'm looking for a police officer. Did he come this way?”
“Leon,” Kara spoke as she held up the badge for him to see, he turns to see it and it was then that she sees the man come up behind, “Leon, look out!”
Leon spun around to block the ace with the blade of his combat knife, the man spoke in Spanish, something that he barely could understand. Kara quickly went to fire, without even thinking, she shot and hit the man in his eye. He staggers back, Leon goes to kick and the man twists his neck when hitting the wall.
She walks over, and yanks the arrow from his eye before looking to Leon, “Is he dead?”
“He is,” Leon spoke before looking at her as he plucks a key from the corpse, “you did what you had to, thank you.”
Something about it still made Kara feel sick to her stomach as she slid the arrow back into her quiver.
The two explore the cabin further only to find the basement and to no surprise, the cop that had wandered off earlier. Kara crosses herself, saying a silent prayer as Leon’s nose scrunches in disgust and his eyes were in some sadness. Everything about this place was getting stranger by the minute.
“What the fuck…” Leon spoke before getting disturbed by the assumed dead man from earlier.
Kara watched in terror as shots rang out, and Leon had put the man down for good. Once they check the body, she noticed tendrils from the man’s neck, making her stomach twist. Nothing about this felt right, not in the slightest.
The two head up to the attic, Kara steps from Leon’s side to pour through diaries she found then it was a Bible, but none like she’s ever seen before. She overheard Leon talking to Hunnigan, but she was more or less engrossed in the Bible. She had grown up Baptist, her dad was a god-fearing man while her mother more or less took the words spoken during service as more a recommendation.
But the pictures, depicting sacrifice and worship were nothing she’s ever seen before. Leon’s voice broke her concentration, “Kara, Ashley’s in the village, so we got to-“
The sounds of angry locals trying to break down the door, alerted them both. In a split second break, as Leon bolted out the window, Kara follows. He catches her before quickly sitting her on her feet. The two began to run, Kara could hear her heart in her ears, feeling it beat in her throat as she kept up with Leon.
“Kara, what does an animal do when it’s cornered?”
Kara looked beyond at the doe, her small hands wrapped around the old recurve that used to belong to her grandfather.
“It fights.”
Her father smiled in approval, “Good, now what do we do when we’re cornered?”
“What it takes to survive.”
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

When your boyfriend came back from his mission in Spain he was a bit off.
At first he wasn't to strange, just the occasional jerk or twitch but he'd just shake it off and blame it on the coffee he drank.
Then an hour later his speech became slurred, sadly you wouldn't have notice since he was always a quiet person.
But then a few minutes later his face went pale and the veins beneath his skin turned black.
You immediately suggested calling an ambulance but he declined and instead told you one of his terrible jokes that always put a smile on his face.
When his eyes turned glassy you noticed something shift. His body began twitching more frequently and he stopped speaking all together.
Maybe that miracle tea in the kitchen would work on him? Dumb thought but you were kinda out of options.
While you were in the kitchen making the tea you heard a series of gurgles and groans coming from the living room before hearing something drag across the floor. Then Leon appeared in the kitchen, stumbling towards you and pinning you to the counter. Wrapping his arms around you tightly without saying a word.
A couple hours later
Safe to say the miracle tea did not work, you couldn't even get him to drink it. Instead he ignored the cup in your hand and clung to you like his life depended on it. He wouldn't even let you move around properly.
So you came up with an idea, you'd slowly direct him towards your bedroom and collapse onto the bed. All this worrying made you tired anyway.
Halfway there he placed his head in the crook of your neck and licked the area making you giggle. Then he sank his teeth into your neck harshly causing you to jerk away from him.
He groaned at the lost of contact and immediately rushed in your direction. Panicked you ran inside your bedroom and locked the door behind you.
You never thought you'd be afraid of your own lover, he was so calm a couple seconds ago.
While in thought you saw a small syringe with the label reading antidote .
You quickly grabbed the syringe and held it tightly to your chest. Then you heard a loud groan outside your door before Leon broke it down with one blow before noticing you in the centre of the room.
He immediately charged towards you with his hand outstretched towards you and you would've let him grab you and hold you again but instead you lifted the syringe in your hand and brought it down into his arm, releasing the liquid into his veins.
His body immediately tensing before he relaxed and fell onto you. Both of you collapsing on the bed beneath you with a loud thud.
You let the harsh throbbing pain in your neck put you to sleep with Leon following suit.
˖How he found out y'all were a thing˖♡
Re4!Leon Kennedy x Gn! Reader
He was deep in thought when you randomly decided to confess your feelings to him. It was a long drawn out confession that you poured your heart into, ending it with a:
"Will you be my boyfriend ♡?"
He didn't hear a word you were saying but when he noticed the nervous look on your face and the way you shifted from side to side waiting for his answer he immediately blurted a "yes".
He was clearly oblivious to the fact that you were definitely in a relationship.
Whenever you took him out on dates he'd assume you were just hanging out, at the end of the date when you'd get on your tiptoes to press a kiss onto his cheek he'd just brush it off as your way of being friendly.
A week before you'd told him that you wanted your friends to meet your boyfriend and he told you to go through with it.
So that led you to the situation you were in now.
Sitting in front of your over protective friends with a nervous Leon holding onto you for support.
"This is my boyfriend guys, Be nice!"
And as those words left your mouth he slowly turned to you, eyes blown wide and mouth left gaping.
"I'm your what, since when?"
"You didn't know that?"
⑅˖How you met Leon˖⑅
This occurs during a zombie breakout.(you can use any Leon)
You meet him during your school lockdown. College to be specific.
It was any other day for you until you heard the alarm bell going off and an announcement going over the PA system. They didn't tell you the specific details, the only way you knew what was going on was when you heard the sound of a loud gunshot followed by a loud thud coming from the hallway.
Instantly you flew up from your chair and ran to the nearest emergency room. Slamming the door loudly behind you and from there it was darkness, no windows, no nothing just a dark room.
You sat there for what felt like hours listening to the pitter patter outside your door but then the noises stopped. Then the emergency door rattled loudly and you could hear someone on the other side slamming against the door. With nowhere to go you just stood at the far end of the room waiting for whatever was banging on the door to bust in but that's when a tall handsome blonde broke down the door.
He didn't give you anytime to understand the situation, quickly grabbing your arm and yanking you out of the room.
"Who are you, a cop?"
"I was" is all he said.
"What do you mean you were??"
im just thinking how re4 leon would hold me in his arms and play with my hair i miss him
Oh, you and me both anon. Just imagine him, a big strong man like that just cradling you in his arms against his chest.
When Leon gets the chance to lounge and do nothing, he’ll take up the couch, laying his entire body across the length of it. He puts his head on one of the pillows, throws an arm over his head, and closes his eyes. He takes in a breath or two, releasing a deep heavy sigh as he feels himself relax.
His ears perk up when he hears your footsteps coming towards him, not giving you a moment to say what you want before he raises his arms and flexes his fingers in a come hither motion.
You waltz over to him, placing your body on top of his and your head going into the curve of his neck, breathing in the hints of lavender and tobacco that were part of his natural scent. Big arms wrapped around you, giving you a gentle squeeze as his head leans against your own. Keeping you pressed to his body, one of his hands went up to your scalp, running his fingers through your hair and massaging your head gently. He could almost feel you purr at the touch, a gentle thrum going through your chest as you dig in closer to him and feel his heart beating underneath you.
Usually, he would be the one looking to you for comfort, enjoying the feeling of you caressing him in a way that he used to only pray for. But this, having you in his arms any chance he could get, he wouldn’t change that for the world. You didn't know how a man like him who’s seen horrors unimaginable, would be able to touch you so gently like you were his porcelain doll to love and cherish.
He gave you a soft kiss on your forehead before giving you another on your cheek, hearing the giggle that slipped past your lips when he did that. You were comfortable with him, despite being built like a brick his skin was soft and warm, like your own mobile furnace.
He felt like home.
You both stayed there on the couch, resting together and basking in the intimacy of the moment for as long as you could. Being each other’s solace, there was no other perfect description for what you both shared.
ive never played resident evil, does he go to bingo
I need Leon Kennedy so fucking bad
OMG AAAAAA I CAN'T HOLY SHIT
HE'S SO FINE
