[January 2021 Event - The Doctor]

((Moved from Here))

"It should not have happened in the first place," Wesker replies, tiredly. "I wasn't the only one: there were dozens of others selected, many found wanting. I was one of the survivors of the gauntlet they put us through. There were thirteen of us in the end, and it would appear I alone remain." The image of a computer file, a list of thirteen names might tick through his mind.

That quote from a Disney movie garners a hint of a smirk from him. "It may seem hard to envision, but I have a god-daughter in my world. I was close with her father, who made a better scientist than parent, and I had some exposure to Disney films. So be prepared for my teeth and ambitions to be bared." At one in the same time, it's a joke veiling a hint of menace.

The Doctor takes note of the thirteen names. Figuring those are the names from the folk-tale Wesker told last time.

"I'm sorry, I'm so, so, sorry." Ten hand still rests on Wesker's back.

"Did you just tell a joke?" Ten sorts of teases but also delights in the manner.

"Don't be. You had no hand in their demises. That should never have happened, but there's no going back to change it, is there?" he says, his voice harsh. The Doctor might sense the warring emotions in the other: rage at the past and the ones who treated him and his adoptive siblings as so many test subjects in a long term science experiment, despair at losing track of Alex and her presumed demise, given Spencer defining him as the only survivor of Project W, envy that he could have had a normal life free of, a burning hatred for humanity itself, that no one thought to look into this dire act of subtle cruelty and stop it, that humanity would rather dodder along in its mediocrity than truly advance itself. So many conflicting emotions seething behind this generally stoical facade, like a caldera-type volcano hidden deep beneath a rolling grassland, threatening to explode and spread destruction...

However, he makes no movement to push The Doctor's hand away, accepting its presence, accepting the mind behind it.

He might look toward The Doctor, the tiniest grin, just uncovering the tips of his teeth, crossing his face. "Perhaps I did. I'm not without a sense of humor, though it's a dark and sardonic one and likely unsuitable for Disney's target audience."

Ten tries to sound like Rafiki, "The past can hurt. And the way I see it - you either run from it or learn from it."

He doesn't want to touch, can't change the past. The Doctor doesn't fully trust Wesker if someone suspected someone was a time traveler.

Ten side-head nods. It's a start.

He's too mentally exhausted to be annoyed by this joke. Also, it does remind him of arguably a better time in his life. However, he was a different man, still human, still flawed. He wonders, with a glance to the photo of the family he had come from, if Albert Winters (if that was the first name his parents gave him) would have giggled at it. In between lay Progenitor, the gasoline poured onto the fire of the cold anger already kindled there.

"Or you are consumed by it," he suggests. "If I was better clued in, I could compare myself to Scar, only less willing to end his more-favored sibling, but keeping the British accent.

The brooding closes in again "It may be too late for the child I was, but is the hour passed for the man I have become?"
