If Things had been different

Chapter One: Discovering the Truth

Author's note: So what if Wesker was unaware of Project Wesker ( I think he was unaware), then he found out the truth about Project Wesker before the Mansion Incident and realized that he was a tool for Spencer all along. So he ultimately gets pissed and decides to make sure that the T- Virus, Umbrella, and eventually Spencer himself are eradicated. So here you go. Also implied sexy time near the end of this chapter. I still am not comfortable with write reading them all the time. Also in this AU Jake is Jill and Wesker's son (Jake was about 7 during the time of the Mansion Incident)

*Racoon City Police Department three days before the S.T.A.R. of Arklay Mansion, 1998*

S.T.A.R.S. Captain, Albert Wesker sat at his desk in the S.T.A.R.S. office filling out a mountain of paperwork. His work laptop was open and powered on next to him when an email notification popped up on the screen. It was from his old friend and colleague from when he worked for Umbrella, William Birkin. He opened it to find a short message 'Albert you might want to read this when possible. - Birkin' with an attached file labeled "Project Wesker- Subject-Albert" Albert's curiosity was peaked, but knew that now was not the best time to read over the file. Instead, he sent it to the office printer and decided to call for a training session outside. He was going to do it anyway so why not a half-hour before the work day ends and almost everyone had been slacking during training for the past week so they needed the S.T.A.R.S. Captain walked out of his office to the printer to get the file and then folded it and put it in his pocket.

" LISTEN UP! I noticed a good lot of you slacking during training sessions all week. So what better way to make up for those to end today with a training session. Now everyone better get your asses outside and start running laps!"

" You've gotta be fucking kidding me, Captain!" Chris Redfield loudly complained with a few members of Bravo Team.

" To the jackasses who complained, congratulations you get an extra fifteen minutes of laps. Chris and the others loudly swore.

" Twenty-five, care to try me further?"

" No." was the collective response.

" Then get the fuck out there and start running. I didn't need to ask Burton, Valentine, or Chambers. I'd take an example from them." With that Chris and the remaining S.T.A.R.S. members left the office to avoid having to run longer. Redfield, Alpha Team's pointman had been a pain in the captain's ass since day one. He was an excellent sharpshooter no doubt but knew how to push his superior's buttons and if it wasn't for his skills Albert would have kicked him out of Alpha team. Barry Burton, the team's backup man, and weapons specialist was by far one of Albert's most trusted men. Jill Valentine, Alpha Team's rear security had all of Wesker's respect and admiration. The two were very close and even though R.P.D. had strict anti-fraternization rules, they maintained a secret relationship. What had originally started out as two co-workers casually getting drinks or dinner at the end of the week would always end up with them at either one's apartment and waking the next morning naked together. One of their escapades even produced their son, Jake. These escapades increased to include in Wesker's car and even at his desk, the locker rooms, or office bathroom early in the morning before anyone arrived at the office or just after everyone has left for the day. Yes, it was stupid, but Albert had grown to care for and love Jill. Albert looked down at his watch to see that the half hour had passed. He was going to send the members who did not bitch about the extra training session home while Redfield and the other wiseasses could run for the extra time he'd given them for complaining.

" Valentine, Burton, Chambers, Marini, Vickers, Aiken. You may go home now. The rest of you keep running. Let this be a lesson for slacking off. Am I clear?"

' Yes, Captain." the now exhausted S.T.A.R.S. members groaned. Albert kept his eyes trained on the running men to ensure that they didn't stop. Albert would've been back at his apartment if Chris and the other insubordinate asses had just trained like they should've been and didn't start bitching about the extra training session. Albert decided to be nice and let them stop a minute early, mostly because he was already sick of standing around babysitting half of the office. The worn out members of the team were shaking from fatigue and barely made it back to their desks to pack up their things to go home. Albert checked to see that the drawers in his desk were locked so no one snooped in it and walked out of the R.P.D. building and to his truck and drove home. Upon reaching the apartment complex he lived close to the suburban area of Raccoon City, Albert parked his truck, grabbed the file that he had place on the front passenger seat and made his way to his apartment. He unlocked the door, stepped into his living room and walked to the kitchenette on the other side. He tossed the file onto the small table in the kitchen and went to the fridge to get out some leftover pasta from last night to reheat and also got out a bottle of whiskey, Albert knew he'd need it if Birkin sent him this file. He put a plate of pasta in the microwave to warm up and poured himself a good amount of whiskey. Albert began to look over the file. It detailed a project that was to create a race of genetically superior humans. Thirteen children from parents with above average intelligence were kidnapped, given the best possible education, and brainwashed into serving the president of Umbrella, Oswell Spencer. These children eventually were put into environments where they could be monitored by Umbrella. Towards the end of the file, a note was made stating that out of all the children, only two survived the virus given to them the "Progenitor Virus". Albert ripped the file in half in a fit of rage and tossed it in the trash. He was definitely going to need that drink. He picked the glass of whiskey and downed the entire glass in one gulp. Albert took a deep breath as his cellphone rang. The caller I.D. read "Jill". He snatched the phone up and accepted the call.

" Hey Jill, what's up?"

" HI Albert, I was just wondering if you wanted to watch "Halloween" with me tonight. It's playing on tv tonight and I thought it would be nice if we could watch it together. If you're not busy."

" I'm not busy at all. In fact, I think that after today, I could definitely need some time to spend with you. Come over and we can have some dinner and catch the movie."

" Alright, I'll be over soon." Albert heard Jill hang up and he decided to put some garlic bread and a tray of chicken parmesan he had made earlier in the week to throw into the oven. That way he and Jill could have a more filling dinner than just leftover pasta. Albert also decided he should probably change out of his uniform. He sauntered over to his bedroom to change into a simple button down and jeans. He stepped out of his bedroom to hear a knock on the door to his apartment. He walked to the door, checked the peephole to make sure that it was Jill. You can never be too careful these days. Albert opened the door to allow his lover in.

" Welcome back dearheart," Albert said before being answered by Jill standing on tiptoe to brush her lips against his in a chaste kiss.

" Wait a second. Where's Jake?"

" He's staying over a friend's house. He's alright, Albert."

" I know. I shouldn't worry so much. You're a responsible mom after all."

" One of these days I think we should get together and spend the night here, just us and Jake."

" I think nothing would make him happier, save if we got married and all got to live together."

" I would've asked you to marry me by now. If It wasn't for the damn fraternization rules. Fuckin' Irons, I swear. When I first joined S.T.A.R.S. that rule didn't exist. Then again, we didn't have any female officers in S.T.A.R.S. until you and Chambers joined." Wesker said, but he knew the real reason for the rule. Chief Irons was paid off by Umbrella and someone there knew about him and Jill. Umbrella was the main reason why his relationship with Jill had to remain secret. Birkin was keeping him informed of anything happening involving Umbrella. When Wesker left the company, he definitely pissed Spencer off. If things went wrong, Wesker, Jill, and possibly Jake were all targets. Jill saw the grim expression on Albert's face.

" Albert, what's wrong. You've looked like something's been eating at you since I got here." Albert knew that he had to tell Jill something but didn't want to make her worry or at worst leave him.

" Just stress from work, babe." Albert felt a twinge of guilt for lying to his lover but swore that he'd tell Jill everything at some point, eventually. The oven went off meaning that dinner was ready. Albert pulled out the food from the oven and started to warm up two plates with a small portion of pasta in the microwave. Once that had heated up Albert put a piece of chicken and garlic bread on each plate.

" Jill, dinner's ready," Albert called out to Jill who had gone to the bathroom to change since she already planned on spending the night. She emerged from the bathroom wearing on of Albert's t-shirts which engulfed her small frame. She padded across the cool linoleum in the kitchen to the table, sat down across from Albert who was waiting for her to start eating before he did.

" Jill, I don't say this often, but I never get tired of seeing you in my shirts," Albert said between bites. Jill smirked as she decided to entice her captain a bit.

" I'm sure you'd rather see me out of it later." Albert choked on a forkful of pasta and flushed red. Jill knew that it took a lot to get her lover flustered, but she found it adorable when she made him squirm.

" Jill, Can it wait until after the movie?" Albert said sternly.

" Fine." Jill huffed and made a note to tease him while they watched the movie. Once the pair had finished eating Albert put both plates in the sink to wash later, then he walked to the living room to turn on the tv and put it on the channel that the movie was airing. Albert sat on the couch as Jill sat next to him, making sure to lean against him and laid her head on his muscular chest and the movie started. Every so often Jill would run her hand up Albert's thigh in a teasing manner. About halfway through the movie he took Jill's hand and turned to her.

" Are you certain you want to tempt me dearheart? There will be consequences," he warned. Jill, however, took that as a challenge and waited until the movie was nearly over to begin messing with him again. Any restraint that Albert had left was gone as he threw Jill over his shoulder and carried her to his bedroom and tossed her onto his bed. He wasted no time stripping both her and himself. It was a long night, to say the least and Jill was definitely sore when she woke up the next morning next to Albert. She took time to gaze at her lover, who looked more peaceful than she'd ever seen him, those stupid sunglasses were off, and his usually slicked back hair fell loose making him look younger. She continued to admire his handsome features until the alarm on his phone went off, waking Albert and startling Jill. The tall man got up and walked to the bathroom to shower. Jill followed suit and went to a drawer where she kept a few spare clothes since she spent so much time at Albert's apartment, he suggested keeping some spare clothes there when she stayed over. Albert went to take a quick shower and do his hair while Jill got herself dressed and went to the kitchen to make coffee. Albert emerged from the bathroom with his sunglasses on, hair slicked back, and in his uniform. Jill handed him a mug of black coffee before preparing her own. Jill watched Albert's Adam's apple bob as he drank his coffee and then placed the mug in the sink when it was empty. Jill did the same once she had finished. Jill and Albert had a routine of picking up bagels on the way to the police station when she stayed over and ate breakfast at their desks.

*Time skip, 9:00a.m. R.P.D. S.T.A.R.S. office*

Jill and Albert arrived at the office and Albert was taken aside by Chief Irons.

" Wesker, we are getting flooded with calls from the outskirts. There are animal attacks, rotting dogs and monsters have been attacking and killing people in the forest. I need you to send S.T.A.R.S. to investigate. Also, this fax came in for you." Irons said as he handed him a fax with the Umbrella Corporation logo.

" I'll send the Bravo team to investigate the forest, find out where they're coming from," Albert assured the police chief. Albert knew why Irons was hanging around the fax machine this early in the morning. The chief had been being paid off by Umbrella to avoid investigation. Brian Irons was a corrupt son of a bitch whom Albert only acted respectfully toward, but in actuality didn't care for. Albert basically ran the precinct anyway since Irons was easy to manipulate. Albert decided to read the fax. It was indeed from Umbrella, he was being ordered to sabotage S.T.A.R.S. chances of escape from the lab at Arklay Mansion. Albert was done with taking orders from Umbrella and thus tore the document to shreds and disposed of it. Albert will send Bravo team to locate the source of the attacks just to humor Irons but decided against doing anything to help Umbrella. Albert knew exactly what was going on, somehow the T virus and B.O.W.s had either escaped or were released from the labs. Then there was the matter of the Tyrant, Albert would rather not imagine the casualties if it was released from containment. Those thoughts can wait though, now it was time to brief S.T.A.R.S.

I'm going to cut it there. Please review so I know what to improve or what I'm doing right.
