Wesker's blood was spread out across the floor along with a few wrappers from the food that the boy had demanded and been given by his captors. A pair of glowing red eyes watched Kurama with a flat snake's gaze from the back of the cell. There was the crinkle of cellophane, the boy's head dipping as he bolted down a granola bar.
The wrapper was carefully set aside, Wesker pushing himself to his feet. He swayed there for a moment before righting himself and dropping the trash into the little can. The six year old child finally looked up to Kurama, clasping his hands in front of him to still them.
A vicious looking cut ran from the right cornre of his mouth back to his cheekbone, most likely caused by one of the bladed spikes of Axel's weapon. Blood still trickled from it, spotting his shirt although it looked as if the worst of it had closed. Small black dots covered the left side of his body, stains of blood between them all. As Wesker stood there, a tiny ball was pushed out of one, landing on the floor with a small wet plunk. Buckshot from a shotgun.
A few burns were still scattered across his visible skin. A small patch on his nose was healing rapidly, the minor burn pinkening and then taking back on the paleness of the rest of his skin.
"Doctor," he replied quietly, the word barely whispered. The only sign of worry or pain that he would give was his fingers laced together before him.
His gaze stared at the shorter figure before him, a long silent stare, studying the wounds planted in the young flesh. The incredible rate at which the tissue mended evidenced the almost invulnerable structure of the Tyrants. Bullets and fire meant nothing. Without considering the countless holes in the walls and furniture, obviously only less than a 10% of the projectiles fired at the child had impacted against his body. The constant hunger confirmed Birkin's words, the body demanded massive amounts of energy to mend itself. The energy source... That must vanish.
But he could read in the child hints of pain, secretly disguised, suppressed behind the silent adult façade. "How are you feeling?" He inquired as he dropped in one knee before the child, taking a closer look to the wounds. The metallic scent of blood was present in the air, injuries which were still fresh.
The little boy turned away from Kurama, snatching up another of the energy bars and stripping the silvery wrapper off. He gulped it down in three bites. Again he carefully dropped it into the rubbish bin unlike the other ones that were scattered at the door to his cell. He returned to his place back before Kurama.
"Feeling, Doctor?"
The question seemed to honestly confuse him. He blinked at the other man, either the pain distracting him or the simple oddness of the situation he had awoken to, breaking through that shield he kept between himself and the rest of the world. It wasn't the best of emotions to show or the most logical given the circumstances, but it was what he displayed.
"I don't understand the question. What is the answer you want?"
The light went out of his eyes. It could have been that there was enough illumination as it was or that he was exhausting himself keeping those cells active.
"A report of your current physical situation." The redhead stated, staring at the child with his impassive emerald eyes. The ominous glow which naturally surrounded Wesker's gaze had dimmed by now, the opportunity was one in a million, he was aware of the 'general safety' at the cost of one life.
But it was unfair. Though Wesker never fought fairly. Honor, morals, all had been lost for an ultimate goal. Tomorrow at this time the fire of his life would be a mere ember, not dead, not alive. The child's face reflected in his iced gaze. "This incident was a test, and you were successful."
The whole deceit was extremely accurate, each action justifying a purpose. So it would be that small yet crucial trick. Tomorrow would be a morning without dawn for Kurama.
Wesker moved away from Kurama again, snatching up another bar and using his teeth to rip through the wrapper. That bit was spat aside, the food beneath torn into hungrily. He faced away from the redhead, the line of his cheek drawn together new with an ugly line of twisted scar tissue where it had been seeping blood and torn before. He was healing far slower than Logan would have at least.
"I feel... wrong. Like I want to injure someone or harm them. I do not know why."
A ragged edge of anger tainted his usually calm voice. Colour was in his cheeks, the child's breathing deeper than he had been before. His thin lips had lifted some, a gleam of teeth seen as if he were an animal about to bite.
"I feel like I need to destroy. Like I have to bring... something down. I don't know why."
That flicker came again, the adult Wesker standing there before Kurama. Buckshot felt to the floor as if someone had dropped a handful of BBs. The man's gaze was still locked on the floor, the last bite of the energy bar held in his now gloved hand. Instead of the Umbrella hospital pyjamas, he was in his usual black suit, shoes polished and dark glasses over his eyes. And then he was a child again, a child that was trying to control the urging of the T-virus which dictated increased aggression. He was successful on the whole. Little wonder that all others who were injected with the T-virus became horrible monsters in the end, little more than mutated lumps of flesh.
He returned quickly to stand in front of Kurama as he gulped down the last of his bar.
Times is growing thin. Everything could be lost at any moment.
He could feel how his blood froze inside his veins, like mercury flowing slowly. A cold bead of sweat ran down his temple, the tension thawed when child regained his form. Seemingly oblivious to what had happened. Kurama swallowed with difficulties and glanced at him again, slowly rising to his feet. "It is one of the effects of characteristic of Tyrants. Their desire for violence and destruction.

You must need topical anesthetic as well."
