The papers being slammed beside him almost caused him to recoil, but he held his ground, red eyes boring into her as she stormed away..
Notes… Letters… Dozens of them.. All sitting here? She had made doubles.. that meant..
Eyes narrowed he growled out a single name.. The name that sent chills of fear and rage down both the living Wesker children’s backs.
“Spencer.”
Reaching over, he hesitated and looked at his charred fingertips.. Resigned, he made sure to touch only the outer most edges and began to read.
The first two were familiar, he had received those as a child, apparently their ‘father’ had decided it would do no damage to allow the boy some hope.. But those after.. No. All new to him.
Warnings, information about a certain African flower, information on the other eleven children.. That was all fine, he knew about them now.. Nothing struck him..
Until.
I am unsure if you even care about these letters, as there has never been a response. But I won’t stop writing and updating you on current events. There are facts you must know, Brother. You are being lied too, and those around you are ever in danger.
Spencer is enraged about how close you are to Elise. While I was there, and encouraged you, even teased you, he was making plans against her and you. And now that you seem too distracted, he can not allow you to keep Elise. Nor your baby son. He is planning on getting rid of the both of them, one way or another. You need to get out, Albert. Run and hide underground. I can help you, forge new identities, a new home. I did this for my self, I can do it for you. Should the worst come to pass, I promise you that I shall do what I can. Even if I must take Elise and your son my self to hide them out in the world, far from Spencer’s reach. If you don’t listen to anything else, at the very least listen to this.”
- There are various other portions of the letter, detailing Alex’s work, and what Umbrella has planned, and Spencer’s dirty back stabbing….
Why was the page suddenly so hard to read? It kept shaking and-
No.
That was his own two hands…. He was trembling.
“Ellie…” He whispered, tapping her name with a ruined finger over and over.
It had been him… His sister had tried to warn him.. Here was the proof, the damned proof.
The paper lay against the ruination of his upper chest and he curled a destroyed hand over his equally marred face..and began to sob.
A sound he never thought he was capable of after having reawakened in the mansion.. He wasn’t capable of feeling anything other than intense rage and hate, or so he’d thought.
Now, with his body in such a broken state, he clutched at his sister’s letter, warning him to move his family… Not three days after the letter was dated, he’d lost them.. presumably forever. He lay there, former king ascending to godhood, bawling like a wounded child-but wasn’t that exactly what he was?
Hours later, or so it had felt, he had no timepiece in the lab..
He had managed to hop his way across the damn floor and was now sitting on the counter, bandaging the stump of a leg that he still had left.. He looked solemn.. broken..
Decidedly not like Albert Wesker.
There was too much of a broken man, driven by madness and power, that it almost seemed as if he was a lost cause. Albert Wesker was a broken man, lost and ruined thanks to those that had manipulated him and controlled his life. Alex knew this, and it was one of the reason’s he had always done what he did in the world. Perhaps fate could have worked differently, had Albert gotten out of that hell. Maybe even joined Alex’s side in her chosen life style...
But the world played different cards. And had taken that chance entirely from them both. Alex couldn’t even be close to anyone without running the risk of outing herself. The only one she could even be close too was Albert, and that had been out of the question since Raccoon...
Alex sat there in her underground study. After having righted the chair and now left her at the desk. One hand running through long blonde hair repeatedly, while the other rested upon the top of her desk. Gently tapping her finger against it in quiet contemplation. So many thoughts running rampant through the scientists mind, perhaps too many.
The Brother lost, twisted into a monster by his own hand and those around him. Thousands of innocent lives blood spilled and ruined, all over that mans hands. Still murder, still guilty, and yet he may never had gone that route had Spencer released his claws. There was no true forgiveness there, there couldn’t be no matter the situation. And Albert had technically died for all of it, there in that volcano... This situation was so needlessly complicated. And Alex knew it was only such because she had gained a heart and morals far swifter than her brother.
Both hands came upon the female Tyrant’s face, softly dragging them down, before dropping both hands into her lap. One single heaved sigh. That bastard Spencer had been the cause of so much, a catalyst, the starting link in the chain if misery and death now rampant in the world. If Albert hadn’t killed him first, then Alex just might have.
Wait... The bawling had stopped. There was a quiet. And there had been moving noises, thunking and shifting. But now it was strangely quiet.
The woman stood up and moved out of the room. Entering the other side of her hide away, and soon came into the labs. Blue eyes staring at the now empty bed, and the splattering of goops, blood, and singed bits on the floor. Leading to Albert now sitting on the counter.
Shaking her head, Alex sighed and came walking over. Ignoring her lab coat and now stood before Albert, staring him down with a calm expression.
“... You’re terrible at this...”
