WC: 498
Alice comes with them and Claire is unable to express her gratitude.
Genuinely, Claire does not know how to proceed. The woman is an enigma and Claire cannot guess why she is coming to Arcadia instead of continuing her fight against Umbrella.
Claire had felt a literal rise in tension the moment they had all realized Carlos’ fate had been sealed. It was like her hindbrain had recognized a predator. She figured Alice’s freaky-ass physic powers had something to do with it. And that the woman would have been taken those freaky-ass physic powers to go kill some megalomaniac idiots.
Instead, she’s here.
For now, the woman just seems calm and methodical as she helps navigate the helicopter across the continent.
Though, Claire thinks she overhears Alice whisper “No infection” as they cross over into Canada.

Landing at "Arcadia" is another blow in a long line of bullshit.
Claire wants to break down, wants to grab one of the hundred derelict cars and drive it straight into the water and not come back up. She can’t though because K-Mart and the other survivors are looking at the field of metal with despondent eyes.
Claire Redfield’s not allowed to break.
Alice’s eyes scour the scene. She talks quietly. “Look, the cars are ordered, empty but not ransacked. A meeting place maybe?”
“But they leave their transportation behind?”
Alice frowns. “That’s why I don’t like it. Let’s not stay here this night.”
She lets Alice take the lead, watches the woman siphon fuel into a jerrycan before topping up and hotwiring a small bus. They had flown over a small town a little bit before the Arcadia coordinates, so that’s where Alice takes them all.
Before they get into town, there’s a structure. The fact that they find a hunting lodge with fucking ammo left is a miracle. Claire could cry. Food’s a concern, but they’ll all have to go to bed hungry tonight. Even if it’s Alaska, it’s too dangerous for anyone to venture out into the darkness.
However, they can afford some comforts. Alice gravitates to the lodge’s hearth, building a fire that everyone gathers around to sleep. Claire takes a spot on the edge, towards the front entrance, just in case. Alice joins her.
“I’ve been selfish. I’m putting you all at risk.”
“There’s no life without risk anymore.”
“No I mean…” Alice wrinkles her nose and then cracks her neck. “Coming with you all on the helicopter, that means I left the job undone. They’ll be back after me again. That was my chance to get them off my tail for good and yet I’m here.
Claire stares across the mass of sleeping bodies and into the fire. Once again, she’s unsure how to respond. It was easier when she had first met Alice, to say the woman needed to stay away.
Alice sighs. “I think I’m done with being alone.”
Claire reaches over, grabs Alice’s hand and squeezes. “Good because you don’t have to be.”
