For so long...
Ben Hargreaves was always helping his family. Not the Umbrella one, the Sparrow one. His life was training him to follow rules, not break them. To lead his family, not harm them.
All he did was for his own family. To keep his sisters and brothers safe, to strive hard for their health, for their country, making his day to day basis brutal.
Inside his head, his mother; the robot, had helped him calm down when he need to give up his leadership to number one. The dragging emotional baggage he had to carry just to witness his father becoming lost since the incident... Since Harlan.
For so long he endured the weight that was put onto him. His picture, hanging on their living room wall. His eyes on it, staring into his. Mr. Hargreaves, his father approached him.
"We might never forget the past, but our memories can have attachments to it. This remain stronger." Mr. Hargreaves nodded for a while. Ben glanced at him. His body was firm and he looked stiff while staring at his own image. His father place a cigar in his mouth.
"Do you know why you are placed by this fireplace?" Mr. Hargreeves lit up his cigar with one hand.
"Why did we ever end up like this? I'm number two, I can't live by not proving that I am number one to everyone." This gave a grin on Mr. Hargreaves. Ben just saw his father's eyes lit up.
"Yes...but the truth is my son, You are like a burning fire. The passion of our family, the drive that keep us warm and alive. Although one is learning your ways in leadership. He lack's strength even if that's his own power."
After smoking a cigar, he threw it into the fire pit.
"You know that's bad for you." Ben noticed.
"It won't hurt much to enjoy at this ripe old age." Mr. Hargreeves left.
Ben went straight up to his bedroom. He picked up the sparrow bird. It may be years, the boy might have grown up. But he'll never forget that. That white glowing eyes, the vibrations in the air.... All that... he wishes to not remember. Who is to blame anyways?
"I hope I could do revenge on you...
Someday that is."
