*Note: With this hanger, I AM thinking about a sequel with this pairing, but this may not happen for a while. Here's just something to tease the mind..

Wesker watched the explosion that engulfed the Umbrella Corporation. For a moment he felt frustrated. Just for a moment. Then he grew a smirk as he slipped back into the shadows of an unknown building as he whistled and talked to himself.

"These things sometimes happen.." He kept rambling to himself as he pushed a few buttons in a wall and entered a bright elevator that went down.

"That's why it's always a good idea to have a back-up. It's very useful.." The elevator opened back up and revealed an unknown lab filled with strange gadgets and large tanks.

"You should thank me...Even though you thought my cloning experiments were a dud, they have proven to be very useful. Especially if they're compatible with the virus since it rejuvenates and repairs cells. I've found out a way to work with them without having them mutate..luckily you've shown that you can be quite the guinea pig.. " He slid his fingers on a specific tank and prodded his fingers on the side buttons, but before he pushed any of them, he moved his hand back to the front of the tank and began knocking on it.

"You hear me? I have my OWN hard work I put my time and effort in to. And after today, I think you'll appreciate me a bit more." He slid his hands back to the buttons and finally pushed the largest one. Suddenly the tank began to slowly open, releasing the cold air within. After several minutes, whatever was inside finally began to show signs of life though not before falling to the ground. Wesker kept his smirk as the struggling human before him adjusted to the new environment as it warmed up.

"Yes I think you'll appreciate me a LOT more after today..." He kept watching the man warm up as he stayed on his knees with his arms around himself. After a few more minutes, he spoke to the man again.

"Well..welcome back, Birkin. How was your little "G" adventure? Fun?" Birkin slowly lifted his head with his eyes still closed due to the bright lab lights. Wesker knew that these clones would get memory passed down to them from the original DNA, but he didn't know how far it went. Birkin was the first real attempt after several successful experiments with animals.

"So. What's the last thing you remember, bud? Anything specific on the mind?" Wesker was testing out what this clone would know. He truly wondered if it knew anything about the mutation from the virus. Birkin coughed several times before finding his voice and answering Wesker, whom he clearly knew.

"S..Sh..Sherry...Shhherrryy.."
