Chapter four: The Other Wesker

July 09, 2009

Celeste made herself comfortable as she sat across the woman who was making no attempted in closing her robe. It wasn't as if her breasts were bare, but it revealed that her chest was almost as big as her own.

"I imagine you're trip was comfortable," Alex said after taking a sip of wine. Again, there was that smell of sickness she smelled from their first encounter. It was driving her insane, but there was no way she could ask without being rude.

"Very," she answered politely, "I certainly appreciate the welcome we had received, and our accommodation as well."

"It's the least I can do to make your comfortable since you will be working with me." Alex offered. "Now I got the original samples of Uroboros, and it is truly marvelous." She complimented.

"Yes," she said curtly, and remembered all the hours she put into working with Albert. She didn't like to think about him. Now, she was sitting from the only Wesker left alive. She read the files about the Wesker project, and she had no disillusions about what Alex could possibly want from her. She never met Spencer, but from what Wesker had indulged into telling her the tidbits about how he despised the man. She wondered if Alex had the same resentment towards the Umbrella founder.

"I did find something among the artifacts. Something about a serum that Albert needed, however you do not?" Celeste shook her head.

"No it seems that I do not need a serum to keep me stable." She answered, "At least as far as I can tell. My strengths haven't seem to be weakening." She shrugged her shoulders. "As you can see why I need the resources that you can give me in regards to my new biology."

Alex stared at her for a moment longer. There seemed to be almost a hungry look in her eyes. She remembered how it felt to crave something so badly, and be denied. "That is definitely something worthwhile to look into, and imagine a world full with creatures worthy of life, and wonders." Alex said as she leaned forward, and it seemed like she didn't care at this point that she was now revealing her bust to her.

"Oh," Celeste began, and paused for a moment. "I have something else in mind. But the most pressing matter is what Albert had done to lessen the virus. Then we can go from there." She leaned back against the chair.

"Most certainly," she said as she poured them both a glass of wine. "I hope you were well greeted, Judith was worried that you didn't enjoy the welcome." She inquired while handing her a glass. She took it with a nod.

"She was very energetic in her greeting." She answered demurely as she took a sip of the wine. She savor the flavor, and it must have been recently that she got a shipment or perhaps she liked the taste of good wine. Who wouldn't, she added to herself. "Most deserving of her position." She said with a graceful nod of her neck. Alex returned the favor.

"Very good," she replied, "Now would you like to discuss where we begin with our research?" She asked as busied herself with a tablet.

"Yes of course," Celeste leaned back against her chair, and ran an idly hand through her short hair. "The researchers for Tricell wouldn't let me get a hold of the paperwork containing my blood work," she replied as she smoothed her skirt. "The only time I got the chance to look at anything was when I was making my way back home." She finished as she finished the contents of her glass. Alex leaned forward to refill the glass.

"Sounds like the most reasonable place to start," she agreed. She typed on the tablet before putting it aside. "Shall we start in the morning?" She asked.

"Seems like the most reasonable time to start," Celeste replied, and Alex grinned. She stood up, and walked to the end table next to her. "I will see you in the morning."

"Very well," she said, "I will retrieve you at eight." Celeste nodded, and walked out of the suite, and into her own. Frederick was sitting down in the living area looking through the entertainment. Not that she believed that there would be much down time.

"Settled in," she asked him as he noticed in her direction before he went back to looking what was on the television.

"As settled as I'll ever be," was his vague reply. She nodded in return.

"I will be retiring for the night," she said to him as she continued to walk to her room. "Alex will come retrieve us at eight in the morning." She informed him just before she walked into her room. It was a fine example of what money could give to whoever has it. She sighed, as she did a little unpacking, and made her way to the master bathroom to shower off her travel sweat, and dirt.

Once she was dressed for bed, she set an alarm for six so she may dress for the day. She sighed as she let the comforter gave ease to her body. She drifted off the sleep.

July 10, 2009

The alarm went off, and she sat up with a yawn. Today was going to be the first of long days to figure out the complete blood work of her new biology. She climbed out of bed, and went into the bathroom to get ready for the day.

When she was done she was wearing a black high waisted pencil skirt that hugged every curve. She wore a push up bra that did wonders for her figure, and tucked into the skirt was a silk gold shirt which she left the top couple of buttons unbutton. It revealed much of her cleavage, however it wasn't a ploy it was just because the shirt would not simply allow her button her shirt all the way up.

She pulled her hair up out of her face, and went on to her make up next. When she was done with that she decided to curl her hair, and pin the hair to the side. She gave herself one more overlook at herself before stepping out in the shared living space where Frederick was already ready for the day. She looked at the time, and it was still not even time to worry about Alex's arrival.

When she stepped into the kitchen there was a spread of buffet of food laid out on the kitchen table. She knew better than to assume that Frederick had done it, but she decided to tease anyways. "Why Frederick, I never imagine that your skills went this far." She noted coyly as she poured her a cup of coffee. The taste was strong, and smooth. She looked over her shoulder to see him smirking as he continue to eat from the spread. "When was this delivered?" She asked, and didn't feel comfortable that someone other than themselves had access to their suite.

"Far before you were awake, but don't worry I was there to receive them," he answered simply. She nodded and had a moment to survey what he was wearing for the day. By all means, it was not to the exemplar of what she was wearing. However, it was professional, and something he could fight in if necessary. He was wearing black jeans, and white shirt with a black jacket to cover his broad shoulders.

Lately she could help what it would feel like to press her body against the battle hardened body of his. Maybe she was just lonely, or maybe he was the one that still challenged her a daily basis. There was clearly an intelligent mind within his soft spoken demure. She had grown to appreciate his well thought out comments, and observations. He somehow became more than just muscles and a mentor.

He somehow seemed serious, and sincere at the same time, and it was the complete opposite of how Albert was towards her. Then there was a deep mind, and completely focus on whatever she tasked him to do. She appreciated to have someone reliable on her side at last. Her family was only interested in the best interest in the company, and their reputation. It wasn't as if she was hurt by their blatant concern of business of her own wellbeing. After all, she was on Albert's side to wipe out the majority of the human race, and rather if you family would be a part of the loss would have meant no harm to her.

She took a moment to ponder a bit more before she heard a knock on the door. "Ready," She asked him, and she already knew the answer to the question. He nodded, and packed up the food in the fridge. There were be plenty left over for when they return. Whenever they return.

Celeste went to the door, and was pleased to see Alex much more appropriately dressed for their work for today. "Good morning," she said her voice soothing, and calm. "I hoped you slept well."

"I very much did just that," Celeste replied with a graceful bow of the neck. Alex looked over her shoulders, and she realized just how much taller she was than herself.

"You're body guard is coming with us today," she inquired as Frederick came up to Celeste's side.

"Of course," she answered, "Now where are we heading to today?" She asked, and Alex smirked.

"Right to business, I like that," she said as she led the way down winding halls, and finally they were in a laboratory. There were many people bustling about with getting their many task done to please Alex no doubt. "Now if you don't mind I will be taking a swab of the inside of your mouth, and a blood sample.

"Not at all," Celeste replied as she sat down in a slightly uncomfortable chair. Alex wasted no time, and leaned in close to take a thorough swab of her mouth, and sent it off to a lackey who appeared as if out of nowhere. But she smelled him coming from a mile away. He took the sample, and the Alex took a large needle, and hooked it up to some vials after inserting it into her skin. She filled up five vials before sending them off once more.

Celeste's small wound healed with barely a second time lapse. "Now when you're ready we can go oversee how they are handling with looking through your blood work."

"Absolutely," she replied as she still up, since she had no intention of anyone messing up with her biology. Especially since this was something that could very much put her in control of it all. Everything, she wanted the world, but she didn't want to share the power, or the glory. There was something more than just making people worthy of joining her in her new world. No, her plans were much more different than that of Albert. She alone would obtain all the power. The humans who were strong enough to survive the apocalypse were welcome to her new world.

There wasn't going to be any chance of anyone adapting to the Uroboros better than herself. No, there was going to be a virus that will wipe out the majority of the human race. The survivors will inherit the earth, and rebuild in her imagine.

"You seem lost in thought," Alex broke her train of thought, and she glanced over at the woman.

"Oh, just curious about what the results may reveal." She lied easily. Alex gave her a look, and she towered over just by a couple of inches. "There is much to discover about this virus." She added.

"I agree." Alex said as they arrived to where they were processing the samples they drew from Celeste. "What have we found so far?" She asked idly as she looked over one of the researchers' shoulder.

"Lady Alex," He said, and in his voice held a tremble. "So far from the mouth swab we found that Ms. Celeste can infect others with this strand of Uroboros virus, and there's not much we have found in her bloodstream yet." He admitted the last with a resemblance of shame in his voice.

"I want something by tonight, and if you cannot deliver it to me then I want someone else to take over." Alex said as she took the paperwork of the cotton swab from him. She handed the paperwork to Celeste, and she walked away from Alex to take a look over the data.

She agreed with Alex, there has to be something with her antibodies that had fought off the initial infection. There has to be something different about her, and what was done. Then there was the fact that he tempered with the Uroboros virus, but that sample was within her, and she will have to harness it. Of course, she had no intentions on sharing power, but if she could convince her family that that they were worth of becoming like her than kill them instead it would be easy from there.

Alex, and Celeste argued over how to test rather if she could choose to infect someone or if it was automatic regardless of her choice. After bickering to close all day with Frederick close or nearby Celeste snapped.

"Fine, if you want to have it your way then let's have it your way," she reached up quicker than Alex can react, and grabbed the back of her neck to bring her lips down to hers. She kissed her deep, and swiftly. Alex reacted by freezing up for a moment, then kissing her back in return. Her fingers tangled in her short dark hair as she released her after a moment. "I decided not to give you the virus with that kiss. So if you don't develop anything after twenty-four hours then I imagine it is something I can choose over."

Alex panted slightly, and her eyes were dilated from the kiss. "Very well," she said breathlessly. "We will find out tomorrow." She backed away, and rubbed her arms, and Celeste grinned at the effect she was having on her. For some odd reason, she felt it was justice considering all the unreturned affection she tried for Albert. "Until then," she said her voice husky as she returned into her room.

Celeste then turned in for the night while Frederick stayed up a little longer than working out, and finding something to eat. She didn't know if he had a harder time falling asleep or rather if he didn't trust his surroundings and the other Wesker yet.

He was probably being much wiser out of the two of them anyhow. She thought as she rubbed her lips while she rolled onto her side. She grinned as she fell asleep.
