Rebecca

Chris and the others had gone to find Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin. Rebecca stayed behind with her team watching out for reinforcements. The anti virus had been distributed through the city but this was far from over. It didn't stop the zombies who were biting new civilians and infecting them. "Try to get back here safely," Rebecca had said. "We don't want a code black."

Chris chuckled and said, "Yeah neither do we."

They headed out into the streets. Luckily there was not as many zombies or J'avo on the streets. There was an endless amount of dead down there and Rebecca knew it. They would be walking past a lot of dead people. For now it was on them to wait here. The Brooklyn survivors had a radio and had let others know that they were at the Empire State Building. The man named Victor and several others looked uncomfortable, mostly sticking to themselves on the other side of the floor they were on. They seemed nervous around the BSAA perhaps thinking they were another branch of the United States military. They seemed uncomfortable in fact even being around anyone outside their group.

She wondered if they distrusted them because of who they were or what their uniforms said. She'd heard a little bit about their group. She knew they resented men and women in the military as they represented the government. She'd also heard that Carlos who had been with Jill in Raccoon City had gone undercover but had ended up siding with them after all. He had been part of some guerrilla unit before he joined the BSAA. Barry and the others were trying to reach HQ and trying to see where the nearest SOU agents were located in proximity to them. Barry was on stand by waiting for O'Brian to get back to him regarding evac. All though they had killed a lot of zombies, there was still a lot of them. She noticed Billy had walked out toward the stairwell.

He was a floor above. He looked out the window of the floor watching the happenings down below staring at the hordes of zombies that were visible. He was about to light up a cigarette. He spotted Rebecca and smirked at her. "Hiya, princess."

She smiled, "Still a princess too, huh?" He nodded "Always. A princess of the people. With your medical knowledge."

"So are you gonna go back to your platoon?" He shook his head. "Probably not. No. You know the story of Reagan and what he did. I know it'll be easier to do what I need to do if I'm near him but right now I can't handle doing my duty right now. Being a soldier, falling in line. I've done that for most of my life. I'm forty one years old. Been all over the world but not the way most people would want to. I've been doing all of this for so long that it's all I know how to do."

He sighed looking into her eyes and confessed the same things he had told Raul the wounded BSAA agent about not liking being a Marine but still being trapped in doing so. She was shocked that after everything he had reenlisted but she hadn't just now discovered that she had learned it when she had seen him in Puerto Rico. All the same it didn't make it any less of a shock as far as motivation. She looked at him saying, "You're not useless and you're not a pawn, Billy. You're a soldier because you like helping these years I didn't know where you were. You could have been anywhere. The other side of the world, dead, caught again."

He looked down. "When I told the rest of Bravo Team that you were dead, it was a lie. I lied when I could have been arrested myself. We lucked out when all evidence, you not being where the MP's were, was destroyed in the nuclear blast. I felt in a way I'd done something wrong by lying even though I knew it was the right thing to do. I hoped it would continue to be a lie even if I didn;t see you again. I wanted it to never become the truth. Even while I risked myt own freedom you did the same thing by being yoursellf."

He grinned. "So you missed me, huh?" She blushed. He just said, "Ditto."

He sighed. "I know I'll need to get close to Reagan again if I want to get revenge. I know it should be about making him pay for what he did but there is no MP here, now to investigate what he did. Somehow, he doesn't remember me. He forgot what I looked like. Like you said, William Coen is officially dead. Who knows maybe before this is all over, I will be. I don't plan on it but as long as I got to take him out I'd be fine with that."

She put an arm on him. "You don't have to die. Karma will get him. There isn't going to be a nuclear strike on the city but there's still plenty of monsters out there. What Reagan did to you was bad but it's not exactly as bad as starting a viral outbreak."

"What about ruining my life? I was gonna lose my life I lost my freedom. You talk about me reenlisting but I was on the lamb for four years. I was in Cuba and Mexico for a while. I went wherever I thought they wouldn't extradite me but my Spanish was rusty and the heat got to be a bit much. I went to Canada until 2002. Spent two years living there. Just on the other side of the lakes looking at my own country. Couldn't get home until I had help making a fake ID. The point is, Rebecca, I once told you i'm not responsible and I failed to tell you all the details. But in a way I am guilty of those twenty three villagers not stopping the others from killing them. They knocked me down but I didn't do enough. I should have fought harder. Four of us against a bunch of them. By the laws of what's right and wrong we were in their country. If they'd have killed the rest of us they would have been justified. Instead a bunch of civilians died."

She told him, "You saved my life so many times back in those days. If you were a real killer, you wouldn't have done that. You're just a victim of your own circumstance. When I first met yoi all I saw was a con but you're as much of a fighter as me you joined the Corps to help people just like I joined S.T.A.R.S. you dealt with chains of command, protocol, you were on board to save lives and when you killed you did it for the greater good. Im glad i met you. So don't say that you shouldn't hyave lived! I was a cop and you're a soldier. You just haven't tried out civilian life. Being free."

Billy didn't entirely agree, "Is the lives of four Americans in a hostile part of the world more important than twenty three people from Sudan? That kind of math doesn't add up. I don't want to die either and I feel the same as you do about us meeting but the other three soldiers with me got their just deserts. One of them was killed during 9/11, another got killed in the battle of fallujah and another got wounded in Mosul during a gunfight. He didn't die right away but he did. Now it's just me. and Reagan left."

Rebecca told him, "You know there's an old saying that he who seeks revenge should dig two graves. I don't want you to die just over revenge and something that happened sixteen years ago. You have to find a way to move on! For your sake and everybody else's."

"But I'm okay with that. He deserves to die and maybe I do too for not doing more to save those people. Reagan is passing him off as some would be General Patton. He's a fraud. He's got my best friend following him all though he knows what Reagan did and yet he' staying there under his command. Maybe he has more balls than I do. But I also know that if he'd throw one good Marine under the bus he'd do it for another. It could also be possible that he knows who i am biut he only pretends he doesn;t,"

He told her, "You were a soldier in your own way. Before Raccoon got nuked I read in magazines and newspapers about what happened in Raccoon. You fought for what was right even after the fact."

"So you're leaving then? For your friend? Why? He can handle himself I saw him do it in Ocean Village. Why do you think you jave to do this? You don't have to prove anything to anybody."

"I can't leave Reggie behind enemy lines especially when the enemy lines are disguised as friendlies. I care about you but I would never leave a man behind. I didn't leave you behind when you hung fro,m a pipe and i wouldn't now but I can't leave the one guy who knows my secret either. Besides, even if Reagan and the others didn't turn on him he's still better off with us, people who survived this type of thing before."

Rebecca wasn't so sure about that. "I don't know it seems like the last two outbreaks I survived, everybody else around us was dying and only we made it. It wasn't fair but sometimes people are just unlucky. If what you said was true, then all my team mates from S.T.A.R.S would be alive still."

He looked at her and said, "I know. But maybe I wouldn't be then. I don't know...I don't want to seem like an asshole but it's true. You watched out for me. They wouldn't have seen it the way you saw it."

"You don't know that. Just because you got a raw deal with the Marines doesn't mean there aren't still people you can trust. If not what else are we fighting for? People don't deserve to go extinct but if it was up to the Wesker's of the world we would. There's still one more of them out there. The last one."

He sheepishly grinned, "I only trust two people. Reggie and you. That's it. Everybody else I have to keep at a distance. You know, I wanted to be like one of those major war heroes. My old man fought in Nam. My grandpa fought the Germans at Normandy. And his dad before him fought at the Battle Of Cantigny. I just wanted to be one of those great war heroes too but in the 90's there was no war for us. There was the Gulf War and I fought in that but it was so short. There was Somalia I went there too but none of that was big enemies like we had in the past. I wanted to be remembered. Before JFK became president he saved some people's lives when he was a soldier. I wanted to do that. But instead, whether I die as Billy or Cody, I'll be forgotten."

"That's not true. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. We're pretty much saving the world right now. You know, I meant what I said back in Raccoon. If you really had killed those twenty three people I wouldn't judge you. I don't see you as a murderer and even if some good soldiers have done bad things when scared in battle I don't see that as the same as when soldiers genuinely enjoy attacking civilians. You guys stumbled on a village after taking fire from the enemy but a lot of Marines deliberately attack civilians knowing they're not hostile. I'm glad that you didn't let your morality become a casualty of the war."

She then said, "Listen, I'm filthy. Evan should be coming for us all soon. People have been taking food from that fridge in the secret door that led to the lab and from other break rooms all over the building whatever anybody could find. i'm gonna go grab a shower and see about a fresh change of clothes. The B.O.W's ripped my fatigues up pretty bad. Anyway...after i'm done..i'm gonna grab something to eat. We never really got to do anything normal together and I would have liked to have known you in more normal circumstances. So...in fifteen..you wanna join me?"

He nodded. "Sure thing, Rebecca. Be careful going down to the first floor though and let the others know where you are."

She smiled. "I know. But i can take care of myself and with you behind me I dont think i have to worry."

She headed downstairs and showered. She scrubbed herself hard and good lathering up happy to see soap and even shampoo there. It took a bit longer than she estimated before she felt clean again but she got out of the shower wrapped in a towel and kept the handgun she had taken into the bathroom with her. She searched what looked like a small locker for anything else to wear. She spotted two pairs of clothes, one too small even for her the other hardly seemed practical. It was similar to an outfit she had found back in Raccoon. A leather outfit the top being wine colored with the pants leather. For the first time in a while she felt good.

Jake

He recognized the man from before. "Piers Nivans? What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were dead? And what's with the clothes? You trying to look more like me and less like Redfield?" The man shook his head. "Ah yes...the body. i can see how you would be confused. This is mostly for appearances. Allow me to show you who I really am."

Jake had his pistol aimed at the man. The man's skin began to bubble all over and the man's eyes glowed red as he changed. Smoke seemed to come from his pours. Finally it cleared and the man who stood before him was not Piers. "How did you do that...what the hell are you?"

"The better question, Jacob is who am? And who you are. I am Albert Wesker. According to my men I'm the last surviving Wesker. I am sure you have a lot of questions."

"How are you even alive? Chris killed you over five years ago. Is this some kind of trick?" Albert did resemble some of the photos jake had shown him. "It may come as a surprise but I have transcended death. That is the miracle of the virus. I didn't inject myself until much later but in reality as a child I had tests done on me just like every other Wesker child. You have the antibodies from your birth because they experimented on me since childhood."

Jake told him, "That doesn't make any sense! You weren't even injected until 98' none of what's happened this last year does. The government came for my blood to get the antibodies and only who I thought was Ada Wong knew who I was. But how could I have antibodies to a virus that didn't exist yet? And how could Simmons or the US government know about who I am about my antibodies when they didn't even know about my last name? Only that bitch from Neo Umbrella knew! And if you didn't have the virus in 92' and you didn't ever have the C virus in your blood, how could you pass on antibodies to me for a virus that didn't exist yet?"

"It's really quite simple. From my experiments as a child, I have the progenitor virus. The C virus may have been the most advanced viral strain to date even more than Uroboros or the progenitor virus however the virus is just as its name suggests. The progenitor. The first. You have antibodies and I had antibodies. It doesn't matter if we get injected with the T virus, G Virus the T Veronica, Uroboros or the C virus. We have antibodies for it regardless."

"And that means what?"

"It means that if you were to inject yourself with any strain of the virus you would control it instead of it controlling you."

"I injected myself with the C virus back in Edonia. I didn't even transform. I get that I would have control but my body didn';t even change."

"It means that the virus is dormant in your body. With the right help its full power can be awakened. You are my son and I want to help you. You should know that all though I do not care for most people you are my offspring and I am obligated to assist you in whatever way necessary. Had I known who you were or that you existed I would have taken you under my wing."

The gun felt so heavy in his hands suddenly. "You still didn't answer my question! How did the US government know I had antibodies when not even I know? I understand how it's possible through what happened to you in the past so I have the antibodies but that doesn't explain how the people Sherry worked for knew about it!"

"They knew about it because of Derrick Simmons. There's really nothing more to it than that. He was the head of the Family. The Family has knowledge that they keep secret from the rest of the world. Before the incident in Kijuju I was being prepared to be a part of the Family. Alex was already a member and he believed I should rule it and the world. We were going to overthrow him but it seemed I met an untimely end. Or so everybody else thought. Anything else they learned about your background they knew either because of Alex or Simmons. I would ask my dear brother but it seems he is no longer with us. We are connected by blood you see and i can no longer detect his presence."

"Yeah you sound real broken up about it. I can see why everybody thought you were an asshole."

"You blame me for Chris's deeds. This is not wise. The world wanted you only for your blood. What you could do for them. I can teach you how to channel your power. Your blood, the legacy can be awakened. However, make no mistake I am still a god and you will show me respect."

"You're not my father! I never had a father and you don't get to come back now and pretend to be one! Even if you wanted to make up for last time I'm way past the age of needing a dad, amigo! My mom got sick and you weren't there! I fought for years t try and get medicine only for her to die!"

"I know...I heard of this. I remember her but I can assure you I had no knowledge she was with child. If I had, I would have been there to teach you everything I know. She's gone and i am here. We can right the wrongs of the world together."

"Fuck you!" Jake fired several shots and Albert easily dodged them and Albert appeared up close to him with a Desert Eagle which he put to Jake's chin and Jake did the same back. Wesker grabbed him lifting him up by the throat as the two men had guns on each other. "Are you going to listen to me or continue to be difficult? You're not a child anymore. Such tantrums are unacceptable."

Jake kicked him in the chest and pulled the trigger but Wesker moved his head away. Jake aimed and fired again as he got free and Wesker dodged it. "Why do you have a gun if you're so tough asshole? Are you afraid you're not a real god or just overcompensating?"

Albert rammed into him and Jake's gun hit the floor. Albert pinned him to the floor with his chest. "I'll have you know..i knew about who you were sooner than you think What did Chris tell you about me?"

"He told me...he told me it was just orders but it was personal...he said he had to kill you"

Wesker smirked. "Before I'm through with him he'll wish he'd succeeded. Did he tell you that your mother did contact me? I didn't have my memory back to full force when I was first brought back but I remember now. She reached me through an email when I was in Africa. She said you were away in South America at the time trying to earn money for her operation. She said you kept trying to help her that you took care of her. But that you were so deeply involved with the mercenary lifestyle you could not be contacted. I told her that I would give her the money as soon as I could."

"That's bullshit!" Jake growled. "You planned on destroying the planet with your virus! You tried to that was the last thing you did! How were you going to give my mom money to get better if the world was destroyed?"

"I will admit that I did lose my temper at first. However, I could have held off on going global. In fact I planned on it. I only intended to destroy Africa first with the virus. Eastern Europe would not have been destroyed. I could have gotten to your mother and saved her if not for Chris."

"You're just saying that to turn me against him!" Albert let him up. He went for his gun but Albert told him, "Wait. If you don't believe me that's fine but take a look at this before you do whatever you feel you need to do next.

He went into his wallet. He handed him a piece of paper. It was written in Serbian.

"Ma armastan sind, Jake. Mul on nii kahju, et pean lahkuma teile meeldib see. Palun anna mulle andeks. Ja palun, ei vihka oma isa. Ma olen kindel, et ta armastab sind ja mõtleb sinust, ja ma tean, te kaks leida omavahel kunagi. püsida. "

(I love you, Jake. I'm so sorry to have to leave you like this. Please forgive me. And please, don't hate your father. I'm sure he loves you and is thinking about you, and I know you two will find each other someday. Stay strong.)

It was the note she had left for him before she died. His eyes widened and tears filled his eyes much to his own dismay. "Where did you get this?" He demanded. "It was given to me by Alex."

"No! This is impossible! I burned that note!" Wesker shook his head. "You didn't. You burned all the pictures of her out of grief I have a picture of her still from her happier days if you ever want to see it."

Albert told him, "I don't wish to fight you my son. I don't even expect you to avenge me. After all I am not dead. But your mother is gone and cannot be brought back. You deserve revenge for her sake. I leave it entirely up to you. I'm leaving this place. I will be going to a base in India."

He grabbed a pen and a piece of paper and wrote something down. "These are the coordinates. Whatever his intentions were with you, chris, whether he knew it or not, killed your mother by killing me. I do not expect your love. I have not earned that. As much as I want to crush the life out of Chris for everything he has done to me, if nothing else as your father I would like to give you the chance to take your revenge against him. Everything he did to me pales in comparison to what he did to you. I only insist that I must kill Jill Valentine myself. She is his partner and has been with him every step of the way ruining my plans. She will die by my hands once I've had my fun with her. As for his partner, I leave that up to you. I would love nothing more than for us to kill her together. Or Chris for that matter but if you wish I will leave his demise entirely up to you."

Jake had tearrs flowing down his cheeks as he looked at his mother's notes. He put a gloved hand on his sons cheek wiping the tears away. jake shook but Albert did not hurt him. "I know now why you cry. But it's something I can never do. I can help you deal with the pain. Lean to live with it. Move past it. If you want to seize your destiny and become more than just a hired gun, you know where to find me."

Albert headed towards the exit with his back to Jake. The Muller frozen. "Remember this. If you are the son of a God, that makes you a God yourself. Chris must die one way or the other. How he dies is up to you. If you don't end him I will. But I offer you a chance at my side, taking your rightful place. We are the last two of our kind."

He left and Jake collapsed to his knees as he stared back at the note. Just then Sherry arrived and he looked up at her. She asked him, "Jake! Are you okay?" He looked up at her and he shook his head. She sat next to him on the floor and he told her everything that had happened.

"You can't blame yourself, Jake. There was nothing you could have done and there's no way Chris could have known. We both have tragic pasts and we both lost our parents but we have to move on. I still think they would have wanted better for us."

"What about Wesker?"

"He's your father but he's still evil. Just like my father was. If it came down to it...I think I would have shot my dad the same as Claire and Leon did."

"I just don't know what to do...he's an asshole but...my mom wanted me to not hate him. She wanted me to find him one day."

"The choice is yours," She agreed. "But I trust you to do the right thing. you've found hi,m and you don't have to hate him you can forgive him but we can't let it get in the way of what we ned to do. Millions of people died here because of him. More will if he's not stopped."

"I know...let's just get out of here...let's find the guns we need and leave. I made a deal with some of the inmates but I'm not going to stick around long."

They came to the place they were supposed to use the keycard on the computer for to unlock some cells. Sherry told him, "We have the key...now let's get to the armory."

She went ahead of him and he noticed a lap top with his name on it. How she didn't notice was beyond him. He picked it up and read it. It was from Wesker. My son. Your destiny is in your hands. If you decide to seek me out in the area i told you, you must first open this computer. There will be a password. It has your mother's name as the password. Once you get in, you will have a choice. If you do what needs to be done you will be one step closer to your destiny. If you do this however, you must do it soon. The Birkin girl, though you may be fond of her would not understand. Perhaps there may be hope yet for her but for now you need not concern yourself with the view of the fairer sex. I leave the decision up to you.

Jake entered the password and read what the instructions were once the screens letters began to appear. It was a weapon. He read carefully and his heart began to pound. He saw a map of a city and coordinates and figured out what it was for. There was further instructions on the computer. "Jake are you coming?" Her voice echoed. His finger hung over the keyboard trying to decide if he should press y or n.

That's all for this chapter i should let you all know that there's something wrong with the review function I'll be able to see that there's a new review but when i click on it, it will say review not found so just in case, if you read this and review please send what you wrote to me in a private message so that i know who it is. I really hope fanfiction gets this problem fixed.

This was a brief chapter but i started school so I don't have much time. Also happy new year! Well i mean if you go by the gregorian calendar. For my community new years isn't until Feb or march depending on the moon cycles I turn 24 on the 22 too. So Ill need a cane. Jk.

Anyway there will be a lemon in the next chapter I just wanted to update this again. So Jake and Wesker met for the first time. What do you think he has on that lap top and what do you think it's for? I decided to add that thing with Jake's mom as shown in previous chapters because i figured with Wesker still alive, Jake wouldn't have a reason to still be angry at Chris where as if it's his mom, he would. He's conflicted he's battling with it.

Sherry is like his voice of comfort. Anyway until next time see ya
