RE6 - In an Alternate World

I've been playing Resident Evil 6 pretty obsessively for the few months now, so it was only a matter of time before I did some fan art. I really liked the intertwining story structure, and for once I actually enjoy the extra game modes (Mercenaries and Onslaught and so on), so it has lots of replay value for me.

I was particularly thrilled that both of my favorite RE characters, Leon and Ada, had playable story modes. As much as I would love to see them get together, I'm beginning to think that it's never going to happen - Ada is extremely independent, and lives in a world that is full of danger and secrets. I think she keeps Leon at arm's length because she doesn't want him to be involved in that world, for his own safety and peace of mind. In an alternate reality, where there was no Umbrella and Neo-Umbrella or BOWs, they might have a chance, hence the title.

Of course, that doesn't mean Leon will ever give up on her. And that's why I love them as a couple. (and also why I was filled with rage after watching RE: Retribution. Gah, what a mess.)
