Chapter 8: Awakening

Its conscience awoke.

Where…am…I?

Its eyes opened slowly, and they stung. Something was surrounding it, pushing itself against its skin.

Am I…dreaming?

Two blurred figures were standing behind some kind of protection screen, and they seemed to be looking at it. Bubbles came from nowhere and hurriedly made their way to the surface. It looked up, and it looked around. It was enclosed in some sort of tank.

What?…Why?…

It then lost conscience, but nonetheless, still alive.

It awoke suddenly, afraid. Its eyes stung as some kind of liquid pushed against them. It tried to break free but it was trapped. Then it heard voices.

"Alex, look at this!" said a man's voice.

"What is it?" the woman whom the being suspected was Alex asked.

"Its brainwave!" said a man.

"What?" Alex said.

"He's right!" said another female voice.

"Run another scan!" said another female voice.

"We can't loose this one!", "Its mind is racing!", "We must sedate it!", "It's struggling!", "We can't loose this one!", "I'm trying to compensate!", "It's working!"

Voices ran through its head, and painfully they hurt. Then they dimmed, and then it passed out, still alive.

Alex stood in front of a glass cylinder tube with Subject 13 suspended in animation filled with water.

"How's it doing?" Nate asked as he approached her.

"Take a look!" Alex said.

Behind the glass was a healthy teenage boy, about 18 years old roughly, its blonde brown hair was trimmed. Its body was wired up to a few wires. It was naked and wearing a breathing apparatus. As it was in the tank, it jerked a few times.

"Is it meant to be doing that, jerking around slightly?" Nate asked.

"Of course, it's natural." Alex said to him.

Alex and Nate looked at the subject in the tank, as it slept peacefully. "I can't believe we have created a Human/Virus hybrid, this is advance technology."

"Its evolution, Nate." Alex corrected him. She smiled at the subject as it slept in the tank bobbing up and down slightly.

"Look at its wang!" Nate pointed out. Alex turned to look at him pathetically. "What, I am just saying that if that thing fucks a woman, it could reach the G-Spot instantly." Alex rolled her eyes. "What's it doing now?" Nate asked.

Alex looked at the subject. Behind its closed eyelids, its eyes moved back and forth. Alex smiled. "It's dreaming."

"I didn't know viruses could dream." Nate said.

"Well, its half virus and half human. The virus must have tapped into the bloods biological coding, it's learning by itself." Alex said impressed. "It's incredible."

Alex was captivated by what she was seeing, although she hadn't been working for Umbrella that long, she never thought once that she could pull of such an amazing opportunity and make history. In truth, she was scaring herself, but at this moment in time, she was desperate. Desperate to stop another outbreak that took the whole world. Desperate to stop Umbrella from carrying out their plan. This virus could do the job.

"Any news on the situation at Luca City?" Alex asked Nate.

"The situation is still the same, no zombies have broken through, they are just lingering in the city." Nate said to her.

"What?" Alex asked frowning. "That's not normal zombie behaviour!" Alex was starting to become suspicious. Normally zombies would just attack not wait for their chance to strike.

"How long till it comes out of there?" Nate asked pointing towards Subject 13.

"Today if possible. I am going to keep it in there a bit longer, make sure there are no side effects." Alex said.

It awoke suddenly. His eyes stinging.

What? Why am I still in this thing? Am I a prisoner? Why am in this thing? Why?

It heard more voices like before.

"Alex, it brainwave is increasing!" said a male voice.

"We must get it out of there, drain the water!" Alex said.

The Subject heard some kind whooshing and gurgling sound. The liquid that was around it began to drain away. Suddenly he felt dry. But he was shaking.

The tank he was in opened up. His eyesight was blurred but he could sense that the people in front of him were of no threat. They grabbed him and pulled him out of the tank.

Alex looked at the Subject, perfect and wonderful. "Can you hear me? Are you alright?" Alex asked the Subject.

"Whe…whe…" the subject had trouble speaking. It shook with terror and of the coldness.

"Get something to put around it! Hurry!" Alex said.

The Subject looked around at its surroundings, its eyes still blurred but slowly coming into focus.

"Look at its eyes!" Kaycie said. "They are blood red. They look as if-"

"As if he hadn't got a wink of sleep!" Alex said suddenly. Then her mind raced back to that day when she met Wesker's right hand man or helper who took her to see Wesker for that interview. "Interesting." Alex said quietly to herself.

Ash came back and placed a towel over the Subject to dry him off. "Take him to the infirmary." Alex said. Elijah took the boy and escorted him to the infirmary they had built. Alex watched as she saw the subject get carried away. She smiled, she had changed history on a massive level, moreover she was thrilled, but at this moment, she was worried about something else at the same time. Something that was right in front of her but concealed.

Back in Umbrella, Wesker continued to look on the monitors on the city. "Where are you, Alex?" he whispered to himself.

Gupta came into the room. "What is it, Gupta?" Wesker asked sensing his presence.

"I have sense a sudden change!" Gupta said concurringly.

"A change in BIO's?" asked Wesker.

"No. A change in me, sort of. Out there somewhere, I felt another one like me." Gupta said.

Wesker turned to look at Gupta suddenly. "Are you sure?" he asked coldly. Gupta merely nodded. Wesker thought and thought. Behind his black shades, his eyes widened. "Well done, Alex." Wesker said. "It seems that I may have underestimated her. Make your top priority in finding Alex, and finding your sudden change."

Gupta nodded and left Wesker's side.

After numerous amounts of scans and testing's, Elijah had concluded that the Subject was healthy.

"I ran every scan I can think off. CT, MRA. He is the most perfect Human/Virus person I have seen. He exceeds that of any normal human. His cells are in a constant state of regeneration. Any cut or bruise he gets, heals quickly. He has no known disease at all. He's…he's…"

"Incredible." Alex said finishing Elijah's sentence. "He's…amazing!" Alex said overcome with joy. "What about his speech?"

"At the moment still rusty, he cant get a word out, his voice box still needs time to adjust, either that or he is still in shock, kind of like he's traumatize." Elijah said.

"Understandable." Alex said looking across the room of the infirmary at the Subject who was reading a book. "What about his eyes? They're blood red."

"His eyes seem to be undergoing some form of metamorphoses."

"Metamorphoses!" Alex said to herself. "They are changing?"

Elijah nodded. "I noticed some traces of white dots appearing through. Its almost as if they are…teething. But without the teeth." Elijah said.

"Do you mind if talk to him?" Alex asked, Elijah nodded.

Alex walked over to the Subject who was way lying in bed reading a book. It saw Alex approach him.

"Hello." Alex said kindly to the Subject. "How are you!" The Subject didn't answer, it only looked at her. "Do you know who I am? Can you say my name?" Alex asked.

"Na-me." it said hoarsely.

"Yes, name. My name is Alex." Alex pointed to herself.

"Al-ex." the subject copied.

"Alex, me, Alex."

"Al-ex. Al-ex. Na-me." it said again.

"Your name is-" Alex stopped for a moment and for the first time she realized that the Subject had no name, she thought quickly and knew that there was only one name for it to be called. "Your name is, T." she pointed to the subject.

"T-ee." it copied.

"That's right, T-ee." Alex replied.

"Al-ex." T pointed to Alex. "T-ee." T pointed to himself.

"T?" Elijah asked.

"A lot of people go by just one or two letters, you know like Z, TJ, so I am calling this boy T, hence the Tyrant Virus or T-Virus." Alex explained.

"You're naming it after its experimental name?" Elijah asked somewhat dumbfounded.

"Yes, why? It's a good name. Truth be told, I had this…plan, that if I ever had children, I would name one of my children, T. T Beecham. Goes nicely I think. T. Perfect for a boy or girl. I never got around to having children. Frankly because I have been somewhat of a bitch." Alex said disappointed and saddened.

"I don't see you as a bitch." Elijah said. "Ashley, now, that is what I call a bitch."

Alex laughed. T was just sitting there listening in on their conversation, trying to pick up a few words for it to learn.

"Do you love, Ashley?" Alex asked.

Elijah looked at her, his face dropped. "Part of me does. Goes with saying, 'You cant let go of anyone whence you have fell in love'. Part of me still loves her, part of me doesn't." Elijah said.

"Doe-sn't." T tried to say. "Pa-rt. Me. St-ill."

Alex smiled. "Amazing. Its learning all by itself. Incredible!" Alex said with tears of joy appearing in her eyes.

"In-cred-ib-le." T copied.

"I wonder?" Elijah said pondering over something that had only now just occurred to him. "It seems to know what we are saying. At least I think it does. So why don't I download some kind of software, like a speech synthesizer for him to learn?"

Alex thought, it could be useful. "Go for it, might speed things up a bit, but why not."

"I'll get on it." Elijah said.

"On. It." T said again suddenly. It seemed to be getting the gist of the wording, but formulating it into sentences seemed to be a lot more difficult for it.

"Alex." Kaycie came running into the wing. "You need to see this!"

Alex got up and made her way to the doors.

"Alex!" said T suddenly, it sounded almost as if it were afraid of seeing her leave its sight.

"Its going to be okay, Elijah will be here," she pointed to Elijah who was sitting behind his desk on his laptop, he waved at Alex and T, "to look after you. Okay?"

"Okay." T replied.

Alex smiled. "You are learning quickly aren't you?" she said to herself. She said goodbye to T and left with Kaycie.

"We really should consider on getting Walkie-Talkies in this place than just running from room to room." Alex suggested.

"How is he, the Subject?" Kaycie asked somewhat concerned.

"Well, he seems to know what is happening around him, and his learning is, well, he's learning fast. His speech is improving. Elijah is going to download some software for T to learn."

"T?" frowned Kaycie.

"I named him T."

"Nice name."

"It is isn't it?" Kaycie nodded at Alex's suggestion of naming the subject. "So what's been happening?" Alex asked.

"Something strange is happening in Luca City. They are reporting it on TV." Kaycie said. She lead Alex into the activities room where Ash, Nate and Georgia were watching TV on their massive plasma screen.

"Alex. Good. You should watch this!" Nate implored her.

Ash turned up the TV and everyone - minus Elijah and T - watched.

A bird's eye view of a news chopper hovered over a part of Luca City. The reporter then spoke. "I am here in the news chopper of News 24. You are seeing some strange activity surrounding those who have been converted here in Downtown Luca City, as you can see, those who have been infected and converted seem to be organizing themselves for something. Its unexplainable. It seems these…zombies…have retained the means to follow some kind of order. Scientists believe this to be some form of co-operation in which these zombies have began to communicate with themselves. More news on this bizarre happening later on."

It was true what the news reporter was saying. All zombies in one area of the city had been lined up as if ready for some kind of war.

"What the hell is going on?" said a suspicious Alex. "When did this start?" Everyone remained quiet and told Alex nothing. "Well?" she asked again. "If no one tells me what's happening heads will be rolling!"

Georgia spoke first. "It may be nothing but…the events occurred just…" she couldn't finish it.

"What?" Alex asked again. "The events occurred just…what?"

"Just after the Subject was created." Nate finished Georgia's reply.

"What, you think this connected to T?"

"Who?" Ash, Nate and Georgia asked.

"That's the name of the Subject, Alex named it T." Kaycie explained quickly.

"There is no other explanation. We all know that zombies are slug heads, unless they evolved into being organized." Nate said.

"Which can happen." Alex said crossing her arms. "Dr. Sam Isaacs was working on these zombies, super zombies if you will, they had evolved and learnt to communicate on a low level. This could be another form of super zombie."

"For all we know." Ash said.

"But the timing was shortly after the Subject-"

"T!" Alex corrected Nate.

"Fine. When T, emerged from the tank." Nate finished.

Alex remained quiet. She wasn't quite sure what Nate was saying exactly, although that wasn't entirely true, she knew what Nate was saying but she didn't want to believe it. "Are you saying that T, is the reason behind what is going on in Luca City?" Alex asked.

"At this moment I don't know what to think, Alex." Nate said. "None of us do. Something strange is going on in that city. Never mind Umbrella. Never mind us. That…thing-"

"His name is T!" Alex told him thoroughly.

"It doesn't matter what its called!" Nate said. "Alex, something is going on in Luca City right at this moment, and its more than just seeking revenge on Umbrella for them killing your family and making us outcasts."

"This has something to do with Project Jupiter." Ash said to Alex.

"And whatever that something is, its happening right now." Nate continued.

"And what do you want us to do?" Alex asked to Nate.

Nate stared at Alex and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "We need to go back to Umbrella and find out what's going on."

A/N: So what is going on in Luca City? Does this have something to do with Project Jupiter? And what will T's part include in all of this, find out in the next chapter.

Reviews please. Don't feel worried about telling me how you thought this chapter was. Like I said I am open to your ideas. And its the only way I can improve my stories
