Haunting
Chapter 7: Forbidden Love
Author's note:
So,here's the next chapter .Expect some surprising developments .Oh and don't worry,Chris and friends are bustin' out next chapter .
Warnings: Lime ,mild lemon and :gasp: it's het this time around .hints of bdsm and femdom,something I never see unless in lesbian fics despite the fact it's usually m/f irl .Also,psychologically jarring
"They trust me ", he simply said .l as they walked down the hall, Leon carrying an assault rifle and his hair tucked away .
"So the trials aren't fairing so well ",Chris said ,hardly surprised .
"Fuck the trials .We're getting you out regardless", he said quietly .More
walking more silence and finally
"Why? ",Chris said .
"It's necessary . You get the long answer later ",he said .
"You do realize you could lose everything, don't you? ", Chris said .He was surprised to hear a chuckle, not knowing what it meant .
"What have I got to lose?",was his answer .
"Everything",Chris said .Leon sighed .
"I only joined the feds to protect Sherry .My only loyalty is to people that matter .And after that shit storm we went through a year and a half ago, I say you matter ",Leon said .
"I remember us being at each other's throat ",Chris said .
"I remember seeing you ready to kill someone I thought mattered .Which I was wrong,something that doesn't happen very often",he said .
"I have nothing else left,no where to go .Even if I get out,I'll be a wanted fugitive and then what?",Chris said .
"I have that part covered .I can pull enough strings to get you a new life,Chris .But you have to do everything I ask of you and just trust me on this",Leon said .
Chris frowned,not knowing what to say to this .
As long as Chris knew Leon Scott Kennedy,he knew him in a strictly professional manner .He respected him in that aspect,but he didn't know much about the man,so the question was . . .how much could he trust him?
"What about Claire?",Chris asked .
"She knows",he said .Chris paused at this,but Leon shoved him ahead .
"What the-"
"Keep walking ",he said,a warning behind his voice .He was unsure if it was genuine or damn good acting and that bothered him .
Wesker had a tendency of doing the same thing .
The fact that Claire knew though…should Chris feel better about this?He vaguely remembered him and Claire's stint on Rockfort island and how traumatized Claire was .He didn't want her in danger,but that had taught him that if something happened to Chris,Claire would inevitably be there to take action .
Soon,the two of them reached a set of double doors where two heavily armed S .O .U officers were stationed . Leon showed his id and swiped his keycard before entering .
Immediately,Chris's eyes wandered about the new cell .This one was not quite as hostile as the other,having jade green walls and the sheets were not white and blue industrial,but actual sheets .Along with that,was a bookshelf and even a small television in the corner as well as a clock on the wall .
"It's the best I could do",Leon said as he set to undoing the straps .
"Thanks,though I'm curious to know how you managed this",Chris said,frowning .
"Magician never reveals his tricks",he said .
"Actually,they do all the time now",Chris said .
"That's what illusionists do .No illusions here",Leon said .
"Hope that's true",Chris said .At this point,he doubted and and everything was real anymore so really,really more than anything,Chris needed something
real .
One of the books sitting on the shelf was John Milton's 'Paradise Lost' .Beside it,'A Clockwork Orange' by Anthony Burgess, and '1984',by George Orwell .
On the stand beside the bed,a bible was open to the 23 psalm .
A strange wave of emotions washed over Chris as he observed the room .It was only the sound of chains being undone that brought him back .
"Okay,I don't have much time,but I can try to bullshit around and fill you in",Leon said .
"Am I gonna get an answer as to how you got in here with no one batting an eye? ",Chris said .
"Guess it's only fair . . .,hold your arms up",he said, patting Chris down .
"I filed for a transfer to the BSAA just after the Edonia crises . As far as they know, I'm a BSAA agent,but I still work for the D .S .O .But at the end if the day, I report to McGivern",Leon said .
"McGivern is with STRATCOM . . .so you're playing all sides of the fence to get your way . . .which side are you really on? ",Chris asked .
"Yours ",Leon said .
"The world's moved on without me ,Leon",he said .
"Maybe .But you can still catch up .You think no one noticed what's going on? That nobody missed you,that nobody knows what's happening to you and Jake is wrong after you risked your lives for everyone .People on the inside want you out and if we play our cards right,it can be sooner rather than later
",Leon said .
"And what then .God knows what they took everyone . . .'BSAA Captain in racy affair with terrorist .Yeah thay would go over well ",Chris said .
"Not really .Albert Wesker was considered dead when Umbrella went up in flames not to mention,he testified against them for their unethical practices ",Leon said .
"What? ",Chris said .
"The files . . .the Wesker Project . . .you didn't know? ",Leon said .
"No .What was it? ",Chris said .
"Everything that happened in Kijuji, most of it was pre-existing plans by Spencer .Albert Wesker and the Wesker children were . . .bred to be monsters to carry out Spencer's final plan . We found the files at one of Weskers old hideouts so I'm guessing he knew .There are some inconsistencies I need to look into too,but yeah for the most part . . .he was unwell when it happened",Leon said .He didn't want to tell Chris everything now .He didn't deserve to be broken anymore than he already was .
Part of Chris felt relieved ,relieved that even his lover was corrupted, he had a face to put to it .At first,the new found darkness that bled into Albert's very soul was something so insane and incomprehensible and pieces didn't fit .That monster in Kijuju wasn't his angel .Even on Rockfort island,little pieces of him were left .It was that one time when he slipped,when Albert let his old self out in that dark room .
'Seven minutes is all I have to be with you . . .'
"I want the Wesker files ",Chris said adamantly .
"I'll have to see if I can sneak them in . . . .if not,we have to wait until you're out of here . . .take off your shirt",he said .Chris sighed but complied .Leon tore open a plastic pack that held a hospital gawn and slid it onto Chris's arms
"Joshua Stone and Sheva Alomar are the only living witnesses to what happened .He left little evidence .He let Excella handle the official stuff, left the experiments up to Irving and wore gloves the entire time . . .basically,nobody's got anything on Wesker accept you and Sheva,but only you have a solid case .And at the end of the day, it's up to you what you decide to do with it ",Leon said .
"Son of a bitch . . . .",Chris said .
"Exactly . . .open your mouth",Leon said,producing a small flashlight .
"Seriously? ",Chris said .
"Standard procedure ",Leon said, a tongue depressor ( popsicle stick…you
know that's what they look like ) in hand .Chris sighed and opened his mouth .Leon did a quick glance over, then tossed the stick into a plastic bag, sealed it and tucked it away,before going for the measuring tape .
"Oh, come on ", Chris said .
"That's why I took the job instead of them ",Leon said .
"So . . .Wesker is . . .was innocent ",Chris said .
"You have to have a really loose definition of innocent if you believe that .But by law,yes .And as fa r as you being here . . . your relationship could help you ",he said .
"How? ",Chris pointed out .
"You're both males .There are people who'd back you up like crazy .Me and Ada aren't so lucky",he said .
"Oh . . .that",Chris said .
"Yup",Leon replied,measuring Chris around the waist,then chest .
"Also there are a hell a lot of people like you being kept by the BSAA all over the world .Apparently ,the C-Virus,plagas,T-virus and T-Abyss all have rogue strains that don't degenerate the mind .That means that some of these so called monsters that are being fought aren't all monsters,just people with horrific deformities .The BSAA has been having a horrible time finding a cure because,let's face it,these people aren't scientists . But I have sources that say there is one and for whatever reason,it's not being released to the public . Alot of shady things are goin' down and you're going to get caught in the cross fire if you don't cooperate ",he said .
"I already did,Leon",Chris said .
"I know .We're going to get you out of here,that I can promise you',he said .
"Why bother?",Chris finally said .Leon frowned and let out an exasperated sigh .
"Even if you don't give a damn about yourself ,other people do .Can you at least do that for them?",Leon said,crossing his arms .
"It's not easy",Chris said .
"It never is ",Leon said .
Leon was currently pulling a metal detector on Chris .They had done it already,but apparantly,it was standard procedure .
"Piers . . .I heard they found him",Chris said .
"He's alive but I don't know what's going on with him,I haven't been inside . His place,they keep him on quarantine .I'm trying to get int contact with him now .It took me a while to find him,but I know he's still alive",he said .Chris sighed in releif .He hadn't known Piers for very long,but he knew Piers was important for him .For the longest time,he's been the only thing to keep him going,pushing through,the only thing that kept him alive .
Wesker made Chris want to throw himself into oblivion and lose everything .Wesker made him want to stop fighting for good,made him want to let go so he could be with his beloved .
Wesker made Chris want to kill himself .And in those lonely days in Edonia,where he lost himself in a haze of smoke and alcohol,Wesker was always there to greet him .When everything else was a blur,Wesker was there with so much clarity that he could touch ,see and feel him there .
His angel was always watching over him .
"And Jake?"he said .
Chris had to ask .Now knowing that Wesker had a son,Chris had devoted himself to watching after him from afar .Chris and Jake didn't necessarily get along,but they had come to a truce of a sorts,accepted what Chris had done to Wesker .When Jake learned the truth,he was able to accept that Chris did the right thing to put him down . . .to euthanize him .In Chris's eyes,even though he regretted it . . . .god how he regretted it . . . .it got to the point where it was a mercy killing .Wesker was suffering so much ,he just knew it,he could feel it .
"I'm working on his case now .War crimes,that's what they've got him for .They can't do anything with baby pictures of him with his father",Leon said .
" .Jake shouldn't be part of this because of his father .As for the war crimes thing? ",Chris said .
"Agreed . . .okay,I'll be by with some clothe later .Also,you get to eat real food at this place ",Leon said .
"I forgot what real food was",Chris said
"Jill . . .what about Jill?",he said .Leon sighed .
"She's starting to remember now",is all he said .
"What does she remember?",Chris asked .
"You,Claire ,STARS . . . .Carlos and Emi ",Leon said .
"Doe she remember him?",Chris asked .By him,he meant Wesker,Chris knew that .He knew that one of the first things Jill remembered was Wesker,not the monster who had turned her in to a puppet,but Captain Wesker who looked out for her .
"How does she see him?",Chris asked .
"As he was . . .I had seen some videos Chris-"
"About that . . . ."Chris started embarrassed but Leon laughed it off .
"Hey,McGivern and I set those aside to get tossed . . .unless you want em'",Leon said .Chris felt a blush creeping to his cheeks and bit his lip .
"As tempting as it is,I don't know if that's a good idea",Chris said and
both of them laughed,
"Just . . .",Leon said,finishing with the straight jacket .
"What?",Chris asked .
"You and Wesker .",he said .Chris sighed,a wry smile on his face .
"I loved him .There's no point in lying,since I know you saw the videos and stuff",Chris said .Leon sighed .
"I met Albert Wesker a few times before the Raccoon City incident .Besides being a hardass and a closest geek who use to hang out at Funcoland *1) and forget his beeper or car keys a lot at the academy,he seemed alright .
I know,Albert Wesker was a man before he became a monster .And throughout this whole ordeal,Jill maintained this despite everything that happened to her .I don't know how much credibility we can give that,but it's something to think about",he said .
And with those words,Chris felt a sense of relief .Guilt had plagued him for years over his love for his former captain,even after his betrayal .But Chris knew,knew that during the incident so many years ago,something was broken in him and Chris felt so helpless,so helpless that he was unable to do anything save save his friends,save his lover .He knew Wesker's cruel behavior was an attempt to distance himself from Chris and the others,but he never knew why until it was too late .The Albert Wesker he met on Rockfort island was a confused and tortured man ,stumbling in the dark .But somehow,he remembered Chris,he remembered that Chris and him were once lovers .Even at Kijuju he was too far gone but he slipped up .First,was why did he save Jill? Even if he used her as a weapon,he suspected that Wesker could never really kill Jill,they were too close .
She use to be a part of them .
Another thing,it would've been smarter for Wesker to kill Chris and Sheva and even him and Claire all those years ago,but why? Why had he let them live?
Even though Chris saw the Wesker he killed as a monster,there were moments when he believed Albert was still in there somewhere .The man he loved,his angel,was trapped in the body of a monster and evidence of this was that even at the very end ,when he was leaving the world,he refused to let Chris go .
'Maybe that's why I can't either',Chris thought as he thought about the events of Wesker's demise .
"Thank you .You don't know what this means to me",Chris said .Chris did not hold people on a pedestal,but after knowing Leon,he would have to say that Leon was the most easy going,level headed person he had ever met,despite what happened to him .He was also one of the smartest people he'd met and Chris and back when they were young,Chris remembers feeling like an idiot next to him,which ws shamefully one of the reasons they were never close .That and Leon was dealing with a government he no longer trusted and Chris was chasing monsters in the dark .
"No problem .Besides . . .Ada is kinda shady at times .Apparantly,she worked for Wesker",he said .Chris raised an eyebrow .A smirk crossed Leon's lips and he shoved his hands in his pockets .
"And You did a hell of a job hiding it",Chris said .
"You did too in Kijuju .I saw the feeds",he said .Chris chuckled and Leon did the same .
"If it had really been her who had done those things and not Carla . . .what would you have done?",Chris suddenly asked .Leon frowned .
"I'd have to put her out of her misery .No one who does things like that could possibly be anything less than insane and lost .That's no way to live so for her . . .and for the world,I'd have to put her down",Leon said .Yes,he remembered the feeling .The feeling of seeing his love doing these dark twisted things,acting so strange and confused and showing a darkside he never knew Ada had .
He remembered struggling with the realization that maybe,just maybe he had to pull the trigger,and end it all .And he knew that he'd follow her,especially since Jake had taken the task of protecting Sherry .He could truly be with Ada the way they should be . . .
"Yeah . . .",Chris said distantly .For a moment,he saw the breif image of Albert in Chris's jacket removing his shades and giving Chris a bright smile ,that cheshire cat grin thatwas so uniquely Wesker .That image was replaced with a gold eyed mosnter,startling Chris .
"Well,love makes you do crazy shit,huh?",Chris said .
"It sure does",Leon said,trailing off .
"So you're telling us that he saved you?",the man asked .Jill,sighed ,a scowl still pasted to her face sat dead still,evidence of her military training .
"Yes .I tackled Wesker out of the window and we both fell .At the last moment he switched our positions and took the fall",she said .
"Do you know why he would do this?",the BSAA agent asked .
"No",she answered .It was a blatant lie,but she didn't think they were ready to know the truth .
"Are you positive about this?",the man said .
"I want to speak to Agent Scott Kennedy",she said .
"Request denied .You are to answer the questions we asked you when we ask ,and do it now",he said firmly .Jill simply smirked and chuckled .
"You know,I didn't take my meds today,don't you?",she said,grinning .The man frowned .
"And what is that suppose to mean?",he said .
"You know what it means,don't play dumb .I made the BSAA and if I want to ,I can destroy it .Either give me Kennedy or no details .All you'll get out of me is this; Albert Wesker saved me .After he saved me he got into a fight with a man named Alex and lost .After the fight,he came back a different man .He was a sick son of a bitch before, but after that,he became a monster with no hope for redemption .That's it",she said .
After they had left,Jill was lead back to her room in hand cuffs and left on her cot .Sighing,she sat against the wall and stared into the blank void of nothing .Nothing because everything in her mind was a blur now,ever since that fall .
'Wesker,Wesker ,Wesker . . .'
She remembered Wesker,yes she did .She remembered Captain Albert Wesker,tall ,blonde and beautiful with a shit load of secrets that only he knew,some of which he told her .He had told her of his hopes and dreams,shared his thoughts and emotions .Then he truned traitor on them .And then,after that ,he saved her life .
'Jill remembered opening her eyes and feeling pain everywhere,pain and numb .Footseteps in the rain,stumbling about,a body trembling,she looked up to see a blonde man with mussed hair ,tight clothes and looking like he had been through hell .He let out screams of agony as he expertly snapped his own joints in place .A growl and Jill was kicked in the side .
"You wothless bitch!You think you can beat me?! You think you can defeat me?!",he said and kicked her so hard ,she slammed into rocks several feets away .
"I am a GOD .Do you understande me?! I'm a god!",he yelled,his voice cracked .Even Wesker was in agony after the fall and the fact that he nearly died,just by a mere mortal .A single tear fell and Jill losed her eyes .,
"Get up",Weskler ground out .Jill's fingers nearly twitched and she shut her eyes .Numbness,nmbness wracked with pain .A single movement and she knew she was finished .The last thing she felt was cold hands scooping her up,unsteady,harsh grunts .There was no gentle touch,anger ,frustration and then nothing .
When Jill finally awoke,she was in what appeared to be a makeshift hospital .The steady beep ,beep of the machines was the only thing that let her know she was truly alive .That and the feeling of pain and numb doing battle with each other .A gentle caress and steps .She opened her eyes to see Albert Wesker looking back at her .When she saw him,he was bandaged and miserable .A smirk spread over his lips and he continued to caress her cheek .
"W-why?",she managaed to say .
"A man gets lonely sometimes . . .I always enjoyed your company,even when you shut up .In fact,those were the best times",he said,smiling at his joke .Silence and paper work came to Jill's mind,the good kind of silence .Coffee,courtesy the ocasional joke and shuffling papers because Wesker was a complete scatterbrain at times,often forgetting things . . .really important things .To this end,Jill thought of a scenario in which Wesker was smart enough to get rid of all evicence implicating him and Umbrella .In that respect,they would never had known what he had done and maybe . . .they would be happy together,her Chris and Wesker .
But Wesker was a dunce at times and it showed .She could never take him seriously as 'an evil mastermind' .
Mostly,Albert Wesker attended to her medical needs,running himself into exhaustion .She remembers him sleeping agianst her bed,remembers him trying to get her to walk,remembers him speaking gentle tones .
"Why are you so nice to me?",she finally demanded .
"Don't take it so personally ,dearheart .It's my natural personality .I am not a cruel man unless provoked",he said .It was true .Albert Wesker had always been an odd combination of kind and cruel, docile and dangerous rolled together in one .
"After all th things you did-"
"I was provoked",he simply said .
"What is the purpose of keeping me alive?",she demanded .
"Just an even trade,dear heart .Have I not been fair to you?No need for such open hostility",he said,dressing her like doll,and doting on her .It reminded her of those days when Rebecca wasn't here and Wesker himself was STARS de-facto medic .When she asked him how he was able to do what he did,he said he was a military medic .Jill looked this up later and found that to be a lie .
The next time Wesker came baring a syringe and hope .With each pump,Jill was coming back to life,becoming stronger and stronger .
"Don't fret,little one .You will stay with me,until you are well,then I will make the trade",he said,as he looked after wounds .
"What are you trading me for?",she asked .A smirk and a look in his eye that she recognized .
"I think you already know",he said .
He wanted her partner .
"They'll never agree .The BSAA doesn't negotiate with terrorists",she said weakly .
"No . . .but Chris would gladly give himself to me .Not just for you,but because he belongs to me and I to him",he said like it was the most natural thing .
"He would never do that",she said ,tired .Wesker stayed silent a bit as he shuffled through papers and then walked off .He came back with soup for her and a nice soft pillow .
These were the moments that confused her the most .
"Jillian ,you know better .You use to cover for us all the time . . .you use to be part of us",he said .He adjusted Jill's body so that she was more comfortable and brought the soup to her lips .She had long since learend that fighting only made it worse .So shje would let the fool nurse her to health and make her escape .
"That was then,this is now",she ground out .A smirk a chuckle and he brushed away a lock of hair .
"You use to watch us ,aking love . In the break room and showers too,both of us were aware of it too",he said .Jill showed no expression,but a slight blush was visible and she averted her eyes .
"I don't know what you're talking about",she said .More soup and she accepted .
"Yes you do .I specifically remember fucking Chris against the desk and hearing your feet shuffle .I nearly missed it,but you made yourself known when you tried to escape",he said .
"I was just curious to know if you were dating",she said,not knowing why she was feeding into this .
"You knew . . .Chris told you everything,that much I know",he said ,finishing up with a knee brace .He set her legs up on an ottoman and propped a pillow up under it .
"It also doesn't explain you listening to him sucking me in the shower . . .and then when I called,you came in,naked",he said .
And she did .It was bold ,it was completely unexpected ,she knew .But she and Chris had fooled around before,so even if Wesker said no,Chris would go with it .
"What's the point of all of this?",Jill demanded .Anotjer smirk and Wesker removed his suit jacket .
"The point is . . .the three of us ,we had something special,Jill .You know it,I know it,he knows it",Wesker said .He state dit like a cold hard fact and it was .
"Why are we talking about this now?",she said .
"Because . . . .I can see that hungry look in your eyes whenever you see me naked and it intrigues me",he said,looming dangerously close .
"Get away from me,you creep",she said lowly .
"Tell me Jill,do you still want to fuck me?",he said wryly .
"So ,this is it?This is how you get your rocks off? Creeping into hospitals to fuck injured women? You're more pathetic than I thought",Jill said with disgust .Wesker merely chuckled and gave his signature smirk .
"No,Miss Valentine .I'm asking you . . . Do you still want to fuck me?",he said .
"I said-"
"I'm not referring to you taking my cock like the slut you are but pretend not to be,or all those times Chris and I thoruougly used your body until you were soaking whatever surface we had you on .I'm talking about those other times . . .",he said,serving more soup .Jill frowned in disgust,but her hunger drove her to eat anyway .That and the fact that she wanted to here him speak of her darkest desires .
"What times?",she said .
"Those times when you and Chris had your way with me .You know how it goes . . .he held me down,you prepped me and you were allowed to do whatever you wanted with my body",he said .A finger trailed down her arm and traced her fingers .
"You used your hands alot,something I quite enjoyed .But you liked it more",he said .Jill pulled her arm back but let out a grunt of agony instead and Wesker laughed .
"Don't be so sad . . . .I'm just trying to make your stay more comfortable .Remember the offer's on the table",he said .
She had taken the offer and had no regrets . .Two things she learned that were weaknesses sex, it slowed him down just a bit,but that was gamble because it either did that or gave him an adrenaline boost .And then alcohol completely nullified his abilities .
Unfortunately ,she couldn't get him drunk, he controlled all food and beverage brought in, including liquor, so that left sex, which worked about as well as she expected .Wesker practically drove her into the floor,the mattress or whatever else, leaving her trembling so many times she lost count .And because Jill was 'good with her hands',she found herself returning the favor,leaving him convulsing,shaking,panting and gripping the sheets and breaking restraints in a way that only she could as she explored his depths .
It was that combined with the reminiscing and kind gestures, Jill was losing sight of her goal .He even took her on missions and they fell into a strange domestic nostalgia ,and grew close yet maintained a distance .
It didn't feel right without Chris .Both Wesker and Jill were not outgoing in the least unless it was time to put on a show,something Jill was unwilling to do and Wesker did always,especially when he took to taking Jill to galas and things where she was told to shut up and look pretty .But Jill didn't awlays listen and so he kept her nice and docile with some 'medicine' .What he didn't know was that she was feeding information to a certain red clad femme fatale ,as she searched for a way out of a dream she never wanted to wake up from .
A year passed and Jill was alive an healthy ,evidenced by her newfound combat abilities ,Wesker being her mentor .
That ,and the brutal fucking she was taking from Wesker .
She clawed his back arching into him as he thrust in her harder and faster, her moans and groans mixing with his grunts .Jill did not moan pretty,just raw guttural sound .Wesker had told her he loved it so she never changed .
Wesker pulled her hair, made her gasp, worked her over with his fingers unyik she couldn't take it anymore .
"Oh god!",she was lost and lost and sweating and panting and . .god, how many times did she come? Doesn't matter, this was it .Wesker released inside of her, and it was beautiful, breathtaking .
Why did she ever leave?
Oh yeah, Wesker was a back-stabbing son of a bitch .
Jill's body was sinking back into the matress the,her hair tousled,and more exhausted then she'd been since,when?
Since she let Chris and Wesker take turns with her .Those times were now nothing but guilty fantasies that still clung to her when she was alone with her hands .Carlos was good,but nothing couldn't compare to what they had, emotionally or sexually .
Several minutes later,Jill was lying back, lighting up a cigarette that she stole from Wesker .She hadn't smoked in a long, long time,but every once in a blue moon, she would go for that hidden pack in the back of her closet and hoped it wasn't stale .It usually was .
He still smokes marlborro reds', she thought .Jill liked to think there was something sentimental about it .
It reminded her of the arguments they use to have over it, her newport 100's, versus Chris's lucky strikes and wesker with his Marlboros .*2)
.Wesker tapped on the bed and she looked over to see a cigarette hanging from his lips,his hair mussed and looking like he did after a drill exercise .Jill threw the lighter at him as hard as she could, a devious smirk on her lips . he raised an eyebrow,having caught it with no problem .He chuckled, she giggled and she almost forgot what she was doing here and why .It was scared how they oild slip back into that kind of behavior like it was so normal .
Watching him fall back on the bed, crossing his ankles, arms behind his back, she knew why .
Despite all the insanity and bullshit,he was still Al .Albert Wesker, psychopathic, inhuman bio-terrorist and twisted frankenstein of a scientist, beneath it all, he was still Al .
Good ol' Ale, the perpetually frowning,bespectacled (he actually needed his glasses) smartass with a smile that lit up the room , and an ego the size of a hummer truck, yet he managed to make you feel wanted, needed .
His back to her let reality hit way too hard for her liking; his beautiful tattoos were only light scars now .She vaguely thought of an angel that had lost it's wings
"So . . . .out of curiosity",he said cooly .
"Which one of us were you in love with?",he asked .
"Both",she said .Shifting in the bed and Wesker was looking at her intently .
"Who did you love more?",he asked .
"Neither",she said .They both knew she was lying but neither commented on it .
"You could have stayed",he said .
"No I couldn't",she said .
"And why not?",Wesker said .A stream of smoke,her arm fell behind her head .She sighed and looked at her . . .captor? Lover? What the fuck was he at this point?
"He loved you more than he could ever love me",she said and turned away .It hurt so much to have to have said that,to admit it .What they had was perfect,beautiful and Chris ruined it .She had no idea what it was ,really .It couldn't be gender divide . . .not in a traditional sense .Jill was hardcore and 'one of the guys',and a set of tits,a vagina and dresses she hardly ever wore were the only things that really made the difference .
Then,there was the question of how did Wesker treat Chris? He made Jill feel like she could do anything . .he exalted her .
But Chris was broken long before STARS and some how, she knew Wesker was too .
Two broken people to make each other whole .But Jill only had cracks . . . .
She didn't belong .
Suddenly, the whole thing left a bitter taste in her mouth and she became apprehensive again .
This lasted for a long time and yet Wesker kept forgiving her .For running away, fighting him .He kept forgiving and doting on her and at the same time forging her into a weapon .
And she loved every second of it .
Then Alex came and destroyed everything .
Wesker . . .Dr .Wesker tried his best to protect Jill,hide her .whether it was because she was his beloved expirement or because he still loved her, she would never know .What she knew was that he hid her,hid her well .
'I will come back for you',is what he said and threw the covers .
'Play dead',he said and put the device on .It was designed to make her stronger, keep her alive while he induced clinical death . .Medically, Wesker was miracle worker but he was so misguided .
If only Jill hadn't run out in the clear with her guns drawn,ready to protect him, Alex would have never gotten to her .
After that, everything was a nightmare .What Alex did was far worse than anything Wesker had done .He mostly kept her drugged and well fucked and hidden away unless he wanted to spoil her with lavish things or show her off to the world .He told her it was because she was precious;double meaning there because of the anti-bodies in her blood that made her a demi-god ,that she knew .
The experiments that Alex had done stripped her of everything that she ever was .So many times, she wondered how she survived when the others were being dumped in mass graves .
It was a long time before Wesker came for her and she was overjoyed .
She had nearly forgotten what he had done to her .Jill remembers clinging desperately to Wesker as he sped throw the woods, leaping through trees like it was his natural habitat,dodging automatic fire and protecting Jill all along the way .
And she remembers that Alex came back for Wesker and everything changed .
The buzzer sound and the door to Jill's room was thrown open .Two unarmed guards were there to escort her away .Lat time,they were armed to the T and Jill nearly made her escape .She had no idea there were snipers on the roof .
"Miss Valentine?",he said reluctant .Jill gave him a look of disgust,before dragging her feet down the white and gray walls to the rec room .
People were doing all kinds of useless things .Watching tv,playing cards,chess .These are people who had resigned to their fate .And even though Jill had occasionally played card games for freebies like extra desert,better slippers and once she even won someone's outside pass .But other than that,she spent her time writing down her thoughts,trying to sort through the details .
Every once in a blue moon,extremely vivid recollections would come to mind .
Unfortunately,half of them were about Wesker .
Sighing,she grabbed a puzzle and sat it on the table,frowning at it .It was then that the door opened and a young man who looked run down and mad at the world entered .His hair was choppy and orange,having grown a bit since he was taken into custody .A scar marred what could be a handsome face but he looked like hell on earth .She had never seen him before in her life,but she knew those eyes .
"What the FUCK are you lookin' at?",he said as eyes looked his way .Most of them turned around ,while the orderlies had to attend to others .
"Hey,settle down,or I'll make you!",Jill called .The room quieted .They didn't know where she came from,most of them,but they had seen what she could do .The room fell quiet,mostly murmurs now .
The redhead smirked a familiar smirk and dropped in the seat beside Jill .
"Wow,you got juice 'round here",he said .
"They know not to fuck with me",she said .
"Tough and beautiful .I like",he said .
"Don't push your luck,kid",she said .
"Hey,calm down,just a compliment .Name's Jake",he said .
"Muller?",she asked .Jake frowned,now suuspicious .
"How do you know that name?",he asked .
"BSAA S .O .U agent Jill Valentine",she said .
All Jake could do was stare in shock .
"No way",he said .
"Way",she said,sipping a juice carton she stole from an empty desk .
"Juice?",she said .He accepted it gratefully and gulped it down without the foam straw .
"They said you-"
"Died? Nope .That's just the cover story .If you stick around,you can get everything from the horse's mouth",she said,finishing her juice .She threw it at one of the guards and he nearly stepped forward before another stopped him .Jake laughed and she smirked .Sitting back,she stretched his arms,tracing his nails on the desk .
"Alright,I'll bite",he said .
"Smart choice .People don't make them often,myself included",she said wryly .
"Neither do I",he said .
1)*before somebody asks, the reason jill wasn't in the videos was because she broke it off with Chris and Wesker before they started watching him .They started keeping tabs on him when Birkin started becoming more withdrawn .
Also, canonically, Umbrella was keeping tabs on Chris (in code veronica, this is mentioned when steve burnside looks into their database) and so in the fic,watching Chris is how they suspected Wesker was alive .Alex wesker confirmed this
*2)chris does smoke,this is cannon .wesker looks like he smokes ,this is headcannon .jill getting in on it because,why not?
