A.N: YAY! I had more than one review! Thanks to Shadow, Veronica and Sacharja. I hope my work is beggining to improve.


Chapter 9

Aaron strolled casually down the corridors of the HCF office block, purposely trying to be late as he headed to Commander Wesker's office to meet with him about the virus. In all honesty since Aaron had found out what he had about the infected humans, in his opinion, Wesker had no right to talk to him about it.

'It's me' Aaron thought to himself, gritting his teeth against the thought 'I am the virus and the virus is me! I control it, not him, what right does he have to try and control me, and it through me?'

None, in Aaron's opinion, but then, Aaron had conveniently forgotten that it was in fact Wesker who had created the virus, had created him. Though maybe 'forgotten' was the wrong word to use, perhaps 'overlooked' would have been better. Indeed, Aaron had taken that thought into account, but merely decided that Wesker shouldn't try to control him, shouldn't try to play God, as it were.

In the past 3 days, Aaron had accelerated in his growth, or rather his personality had developed further. Aaron of course, hadn't noticed this, but Wesker most certainly had and he wasn't happy about it. With Aaron thinking in his current mind stead, well, it was dangerous to his plans. If Aaron should choose to continue in this way…

'Then I'll be in control' was Aaron's firm belief and this was a very bad sign.

Wesker paced back and forth in his office, waiting for Aaron to make an appearance, and trying to prepare for it. Aaron had become stubborn, power crazed and arrogant.

'As I used to be when I was younger, backed when I worked with William' Wesker reflected, and in turn realised that there were only two ways that Aaron was going to start behaving again. The first was to simply wait for this stage to pass, but of course this could take time and it might not be just a stage. The second was to show Aaron just how much power Wesker himself held…this was Wesker's favoured option. Aaron hadn't seen the full extent of Wesker's power, hadn't seen much of it at all.

'So I'm going to have to treat him to that if he starts acting up'

It was as that thought completed itself that there was a knock at the office door, and before Wesker had time to call the offending person in, the door open and produced Aaron.

The virus's face was as blank as it had ever been, but though the expression was bland, Wesker was sure he could see a superior smirk in the creatures translucent grey eyes.

Wesker growled under his breath at Aaron's impertinence, pushing aside the urge to give a scathing remark.

"Would you at least wait for me to answer before you come sauntering in?" Wesker spat out.

Aaron didn't reply, just stood, staring at the 'commander'.

"Anyway, we have better things to do than stand around here" with that Wesker turned away, deciding to drop the subject for a minute, he'd get back at Aaron later. He walked to the back of the office to the patch where he had hidden the blood samples a few days earlier. Pulling out a knife from its sheath on his belt he ran at down a very slight almost completely invisible gap in the wall. Only he and Aaron knew where it was and could actually see it. Nothing happened for a few seconds, and then a thin metal door swung outwards to reveal a darkened passage. Re-sheathing his knife, Wesker pulled the door open further, stepping into the darkness of the passage and walking down it quickly before realizing that Aaron hadn't followed him.

Despite the darkness that was currently engulfing him and the dark shades that perpetually covered his eyes, Wesker could quite clearly see Aaron's features, set in a smirk reminiscent of his own. Growling, the blonde BOW turned back before getting close enough to his creation to grab him by the throat. With his gloved hand wrapped firmly around Aaron's neck, he slammed him against the wall, holding him there, pinned a couple of inches from the ground. Aaron kicked out at his creator, but the man didn't even flinch when one of the blows connected with his abdomen. Wesker moved his head forward, when the tiny amount of pain he'd felt subsided, so that his face was adjacent with Aaron's. He could have only been an inch away, and Aaron, despite his swelled ego, couldn't help but feel at least a small bit of fear when he felt the power that seemed to surround Wesker in some kind of aura. Wesker, though he couldn't see Aaron's face, knew that he was scared, when the pulse in his neck that was directly under his thumb speeded up slightly.

Wesker moved his mouth next to Aaron's ear, and whispered into it harshly

"Stop fucking around, Aaron. This is serious, stop procrastinating and follow me…and make sure that door is sealed shut."

Wesker pulled his grip away and Aaron slumped down slightly, glaring at the older man before moving to seal the door shut. Wesker watched him carefully as he started to move again, shooting a lethal glare at Aaron before picking up his pace, moving down the now totally pitch-black corridor. The darkness of the corridor and their narrow winding pathways didn't bother Wesker, and he could see well enough in the dark to not have to turn any lights on, though it did mean he was slightly more at risk of being attacked by Aaron., but Wesker didn't think he'd attack….not just yet.

'He is still a little subservient when threatened which gives me a slight bit more time to get everything sorted out'

This was only going to last for a little while longer though and Aaron's 'new' power over the creatures had boosted his ego further.

Wesker shifted his shoulders slightly before squaring them again to give off that look of power that so many people were scared of. He settled back into the almost tense silence comfortably. Wesker was perfectly happy for there to be no conversation, partly as it always ended in an argument but mainly because Aaron was notoriously dull when it came to conversations. This was due to the fact that he only really knew one thing he could talk about, and that was the virus. While it was Wesker's fault that he hadn't introduced anything else into the creature's life, he had no desire to rectify the situation; Aaron wasn't created for companionship of any sort. Besides all that, Wesker wasn't all that social anyway, preferring to be left alone to plot on scheme. He had even been like this when he was a child, quite contented to sit inside without the companionship of other kids his age, happy enough to be entertained by his imagination or study, despite his mothers constant pressuring to get some friends. In fact Wesker, having followed this train of thought whilst walking down the corridors, realised that the only person who he had ever really had as a friend, someone he genuinely had liked talking to was William Birkin and he…well, he was dead.

Wesker drew his thoughts away from that path, knowing that it wasn't good for him, and noticed that he was approaching the door to the room he wanted. He slowed his pace and glanced behind him to see if anything passed across the face of the creature behind him.

The room ahead had been Wesker's lab some weeks ago, and it was the room that Aaron had been created in. It was bare now though, Wesker had cleared it out just after Aaron woke up and was human enough in the way he acted to be able to be somewhere else, usually Wesker's office. Wesker reached the door and slipped out a card from his pocket, running it through a reader next to the door. The beep that followed, admitting Wesker's access seemed overly loud in the death like silence that lingered in the corridors like a bad smell.

Pushing the door open and stepping inside, Wesker reached to his right and flipped the light switch upwards to turn the lights on. Instantly he was hit by the bright fluorescent lights that had been present in the lab he used to work in…that were present in the buildings that, by now, almost completely governed his life.

Wesker turned to face Aaron, sinking back into a chair by the opposite wall as he did so. When he was comfortable he folded his hands in his lap and looked expectantly at Aaron.

"What have you got to tell me?"

Aaron shrugged non-chalantly "Situations are getting worse for the worlds, Hyrule is under siege from the mutants and is running out of water since they have shut off their supply from the lake. A heat wave is approaching them and their relic, the Triforce, is infected and is distributing the virus, much like the world in test world one is."

"Good…other world?"

"Rapid spreading of the virus and more attacks, the mutations are becoming stronger too"

"As is to be expected" Wesker commented "Anything new?"

"They're under my control"

"The mutants?...I've known that they would be eventually from the moment you woke up" Wesker stated simply "Anything new?" stressing 'new' Aaron noticed

Aaron snorted "If you're so omniscient, like you pretend to be, then you would know"

"I don't pretend to be omniscient, Aaron, nor do I pretend to be omnipresent….however, I am closer to being omnipotent than I was when I was human…even if I'm not there yet"

Aaron's eyebrows furrowed at the comment "You're not human?"

"Oh come now" the blonde pulled off the shades, keeping his eyes closed "how many humans have you seen with eyes like this?" Wesker raised his head, opening his eyes slowly, reminding Aaron of the red-tinged yellow gaze that he'd seen on the first day of his life.

"Now, I have things to do if you've got nothing else to tell me" Wesker stood up, slipping the shades back on.

When Aaron started to follow him out of the room, Wesker walked quickly over to the door, too fast for his subordinate to keep up. Flicking the lights off and slamming the door closed behind him, Wesker walked over to a small panel by the side of the door, and disabled Aaron's control of the lights inside.

The door had locked automatically, leaving Aaron trapped in the concrete cell like room. He smirked to himself and depressed a button on the panel that controlled the talk system.

"I'll leave you in there to think about your attitude problem…and don't attempt to get out, that room is sealed save for this door" he kicked the door, emphasising his point "See you later"

He walked away from the room, hearing Aaron pounding on the thick metal of the door, and smiled. The smile broke into a broad grin upon hearing Aaron's profane comments directed at him, the desperation as he pounded on the door again.

And Wesker walked away, grinning at his own cruelty….let Aaron simmer for a while…


Once again please keep reviewing. Updates may be a little erratic for the next few weeks, due to the fact that I'm back in school
