Batman has posed:
    It had started with small data inquiries, just key elements of information sought that were tagged by the Bat Computer as possibly felonous. Just a handful of queries amongst millions that the advanced computer is capable of manipulating. But it wasn't until several other probes at data came through, inquiries about other aspects of Wayne Enterprises, locations sought of equipment, security details on the deep net. Data is a lovely thing and can serve to bring forth information and magic, but data also works both ways.
    The Viral, Bacterial, and Genetic Scanner was an advanced piece of technology that only a handful of advanced research sites had access to. A device that in its own right could be considered a super-computer even for the advanced technology of the day. The ability to examine elements and come forth with results in minutes instead of weeks... invaluable.
    It's no wonder that it was held under lock and key in Wayne Industries Research and Development. Its hours were heavily scheduled months ahead of time, to be used for disease research, genetic disorders, and of late aggressive alien infections. All important efforts.
    So no wonder it was under lock and key with a bevy of drones and electronic security elements. All who apparently were vulnerable due to a hole in the OS.
    No wonder it had physical on the ground and helicopter patrols. Though of late with the invasion and overtime there was a fourteen minute gap in that coverage.
    And no wonder it was in a warehouse with overlapping off the record electronic, laser, thermograph, and seismic sensors. Those were still up and of course had no data trail connecting to their existence...

Albert Wesker has posed:
Wesker is good at one thing, infiltration. He's battled his way through a number of zombie infested areas, Hunter's Lickers, even tyrants. And held his own avoiding detection.

He's broken into umbrealla facilities that have much more lethal security that anything wayne would use. And got through.

With his own computer on his wrist Wesker is careful to work carefully, he had been scouting for three days, and targeted one of the employees before hand. Getting a look at his flash drive and swipping it.

A minor program upload would allow Wesker at one of the fourteen minute intervols would send a virus into the system that would allow him to record a small brief loop of video to have him slip through.

USing his super speed and agility and reflexes Wesker moves between crates. And boxes. As the Loop allows him a very narrow gap.

He's armed, with a desert Eagle on his belt, a knife on his shoulder. As he moves, and when one of the security guards turns a corn to possibly stumble upon Wesker. Wesker, pulls back.

suddenly apearing behind a corner out of sight. He's taking pains not to harm or kill anyone. Not the best way to get the Batman to help him.

Batman has posed:
    It doesn't take long for the infiltrator to make his way. The insertion was clean, the avoidance like clock work. The security wasn't lax, that much was for sure, but a man of such capabilities could hit the windows of opportunity with perfect timing and it led him through the warehouse of the great hangar that passes as storage for the advanced facility. He most likely passes by equipment worth billions more than the one he seeks. Equipment that would overthrow errant dictators, or equipment that would advance research. But he has focus on the one thing he seeks.
    And then he rounds a corner, the tall almost industrial seeming facility with sweeping gantries above and mobile surveillance elements gives him just enough of an opening to reach the series of data assembly banks, and to the smaller processor and examination device that is key to all this hub of information and intelligence. It gleams with an almost prophetic red and blue light as its small data display whirls through data faster than the eye can perceive, even as it sits there tempting like the Holy Grail.
    And then the lights shunt down with a heavy /CHUNGK!/ as power is cut from the building, casting the area into darkness. A darkness that fouls even thermograph by the surging and flaring of varying temperatures from the equipment around.
    And that is the moment when the rough and gravelly voice is heard. "Albert Wesker. You are a guilty man. Why should I not take you down right now?"

Albert Wesker has posed:
As the Lights shut down Wesker will look to his watch and smile. "Three minutes Fourty seconds later than I expected Batman." Wesker says and then looking around the area. His Suncglasses would and should be a hinderance in the area. So why is he wearing them in total darkness.

"If you know who I am, You know what I can do, and what I have access to."

Looking around the area. The Contact lenses and glasses give him an edge in darkness as he is looking around up at the rafters. listening carefully for any sounds. "And I was indeed hoping to meet and speak with you. I have a problem I hope you can solve for me. Which is why I haven't killed anyone. Yet. I would much rather not make a scene."

Batman has posed:
    For some reason there is no tension in Batman's voice. It is that steady baritone as he kneels down, resting his arms on his knees, his own mask hiding his features and his eyes. It takes him only a bit of time to locate where the Dark Knight observes from high above. A furrowed brow is there, barely perceivable as he takes the measure of the man. There's a moment of hesitation. A glance to the side, and a faint nod, then without a sound Batman drops down.
    Landing silently in a large black pool of shadow, the vigilante gains his feet and stands before the man known as Wesker. The lights are still off, but in that darkness the two men have no difficulty in seeing the other, nor the quality of the other man. there's a tilt of his head to the side slightly. "You've come here with a specific goal."
    The Batman turns his head to the side, indicating the piece of tech the man is after with a glance, then looks back towards him. "I need to hear what you know."

Albert Wesker has posed:
AS he listens and says, "Watch your eyes." and then he lifts up his left wrist to flip open a computer and shows what appears to be a holographic Map that cuts through the darkness of the warehouse. The map shows nothing there as he says. "SHIELD Scrubbed Raccoon City from all internet data. It can only be found in Psychical maps." The Image changes to a vibrate city alive, healthy and calm. "This is Raccoon City... And this, is 96 hours later."

And the images show Police attacking what appear to be slow moving civilians shuffling, groaning attacking normal people as they are torn apart... eaten in a savage display of cannibalism. The attackers having arms blown off, legs, even severed at the waist, and still crawls... "What you are seeing is the result of a Viral Outbreak. An outbreak caused by a corporation with Ties to HYDRA that much I know for sure. They were after the Virus, and another one based off the original."

Batman has posed:
    The cowl barely moves, it's held there as he considers the man, the data, the imagery... it makes some connections, some hints of information dovetailing into other incidences of the past. The body language of the man before him is indecipherable, unmoving. But it's clear he pays attention to what is being said and what passes upon the screen. then the cowl moves slightly to the side and that voice lifts once again.
    "And you need this equipment to do what exactly?" He shifts his weight to the other boot, the leather creaking faintly as he moves. Those shielded features turning to face the man fuly. "What is it you provide to the equipment that cannot be attained by another seeking a cure?"
    It's then that his arms fold over his chest, the severity of the manner clear but carefully held in control.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Robin had been waiting, stalking, only turning on his night vision once the lights go out.

  Even with a colored costume, draping his cape and donning the hood keeps him as dark as possible.

  The other end of the rafter, Damian kneels, perched and ready to strike down. He doesn't join the fray yet, but does keep an eye on things. Of course, the body camera Batman has Damian wear is recording the encounter, not only for posterity, but for further analysis later.

  It's only when Wesker shows the outbreak in Raccoon City that makes Damian lose himself in the carnage displayed. Amazed by such a weapon, it's both horrifying, and a little beautiful.

Albert Wesker has posed:
Wesker is almost as unreadable but he realizes that Batman is hearing him out as he says. "Well the Virus has a short life span. But there are at least 56,700 survivors inside Raccoon that SHIELD is helping. The T-virus hasn't been allowed to remain active for this long before. In the few trace amounts I have been able attain is that it can still go active. There is a 1 in ten thousand chance any particular person would be not only immune to the virus. But Act like Typhoid Mary. I have one of two options. I either develop a cure.... or I cleanse the area with the ThermoBarric weapon Hidden in the City. I would much Rather do the Former." And then he takes a few steps closer to Batman...then reaches up to remove his glasses and with his eyes closed he says, "I still retain enough humanity to care."

and the he opens his eyes which begin glowing bright red, slitted... "The device Waynetech developed will allow me to scan thousands of Samples and Identity those carriers. So I can administer a vaccine to purge them of the virus. And it will give SHIELD the Cure so that if an outbreak happens again... SHIELD can detect the signs and start curing the outbreak rapidly."

Wesker said Cure... not immunize

Batman has posed:
    All of that is absorbed, all of the information and data is considered and as Wesker speaks, Batman listens intently. Some of this correlates with the information he has had gathered in the past, some of it is new information. The man himself, he knew of in part by what records there were and reputation, but this revelation is noted with a grunt and a nod. For a time there is silence between them, the two men taking the measure of the other.
    The equipment is considered, then the Dark Knight turns back to fully meet the man's mercurial glowing gaze. "If I allow you to take this equipment. What do you offer in return?" He asks the man levelly, sternly. His hand gestures sharply to the side, "The VBG saves lives. Will it be enough?"

Albert Wesker has posed:
Replacing his Sunglasses Calmly as he says. "Once I have made adjustments to it, it will be enough. I'll even have it returned with the improvements." His voice calm even showing no sign of emotion "Understand, I am absolutely infuriated with the fiasco that caused this. And I will never allow it to happen again. As for what I have in offer. I will give you the information needed to launch the investigation into the companies of Lex Corp, Tricell, Tychon, Wayne Enterprises. They are the major players I suspect of one being responsible. Your methods of interrogation and investigation will be more... subtle than mine."

"Make no mistake, when you find the right one, they will have ties to Hydra. I know that for a fact."

And he brings up a video now of a meeting between him and some Hydra Agents. Mutated humans are beside Wesker as he walks into the Hydra Base. The Agent talks of the incident at Raccoon City, their failure to Acquire the T-Virus, And G-Virus from Umbrella. And how they offer Wesker a position in Hydra for his loyalty.

Wesker turns their offer down by Snapping his fingers as the creatures lift their Gattling guns and just star Massacuring the Terrorists. Brutal efficent, and merciless.

Batman has posed:
    A turn of his head to the side following Wesker's movement, but then the Dark Knight looks back towards the man and as the man finishes talking, even as those creatures begin their carnage, there is silence between the two of them. There's the strobe effect of the weapons firing, limning their features even as the two men look back to each other.
    The space of several heartbeats pass, and then the Dark Knight lifts his arm, the cape slipping clear of that limb as he brings it across to touch a data display to life. That display ticks down from 3:04 down. He looks back up towards Wesker and tells the man, "Take the VGB. You still have three minutes on the window. Cure this and we're clear."
    He turns then with a snap of his cape, his back given to the other man as he walks to the side and then lifts an arm to fire a grapple line upwards that snares around a support girder. "Play this wrong, and I'm coming after you." And that's it. That is all that's needed even as the power remains down and even then as distantly the sound of power and equipment coming back on is heard.

Albert Wesker has posed:
As Wesker smiles to Batman and then he will take the Wrist computer off and close it handing it to Batman. "It contains the information you need to start the investigation, Video recors from the failed assualt, the death of my friend Burkin... And what they made him become." he says and then turns to head to the Computer where the VBG is located. All he needs is the core of the unit. As he has all the tools needed to extract it woudl out damaging it. He doesn't Stop Batman, but knows that chances are he has other partners here.
