Valeveira

Valeveira is the het ship between Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira from the Resident Evil fandom.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999)
At the beginning of the game (September 28) Jill is seen escaping an explosion and, as soon as she passes a barricade, she is surrounded by a group of zombies. In order not to be devoured, she breaks through a door and takes refuge in a warehouse.

Depending on the player's choices, Jill can pass by either a restaurant or the newsroom. If she passes through the restaurant and uses the hook to open a trapdoor in the kitchens, she will meet for the first time the anonymous mercenary of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.), namely a young man named Carlos Oliveira. The two have a brief conversation, when Nemesis breaks in. Depending on the player's choices, you can choose whether to escape through the trapdoor and once down from the duct at the end before the entire area is submerged by water or face it with Carlos. Once defeated, Carlos will leave. If the player first passes through the newsroom (which collapses to pieces because it is going up in flames), she will meet Carlos Oliviera for the first time at that point and even in this case Nemesis will break in.

After passing the town hall, Jill reaches the tram station, and there she will meet Carlos again.

Immediately after with the story, survived the umpteenth clash, she faints and is rescued by Carlos who takes her to safety in the chapel of the Tower. After two days in convalescence, Jill wakes up on the morning of October 1. At this point Carlos goes in search of a cure for Jill and the game passes into his hands. The next setting is the hospital adjacent to the tower, now half-destroyed. In the hospital you meet another type of creature: the Hunters, anthropomorphic reptiles very dangerous and able to decapitate the protagonist in a single blow. Taking the vaccine, Carlos makes it by a whisker to escape from the hospital that jumps into the air (Nikolai has installed a time bomb) and manages to give the vaccine to Jill.

In the final fight Jill activates a laser cannon, the "Sword of Paracelsus", and, after a brief confrontation, knocks out Nemesis with this weapon. As she leaves the room the latter, before expiring definitively, tries to attack it with a jet of acid: depending on the choice she can ignore it and disappear or finish it with some shots of Magnum. Jill heads with Carlos to the helicopter that will take them to safety; depending on the choice made on the deck at the entrance of the plant will change the ending: if Nikolai is killed by the Nemesis inside the plant, Jill and Carlos will escape with the helicopter that is left; instead if before the final clash Nikolai escapes with the helicopter or is shot down, Barry Burton (a S.T.A.R.S. policeman, friend of the protagonist) will arrive with another to save them. Jill and Carlos (and possibly Barry) escape Raccoon City at dawn on October 1 just moments before the city is pulverized by the nuclear warhead.

Resident Evil 3 (2020)
In September of 1998, Raccoon City has been infected with the t-virus. Taking advantage of the crisis, Umbrella sends a Nemesis with the knowledge of S.T.A.R.S members, Jill being one of the last two remaining members in the city. Jill is hunted and stalked by Nemesis throughout the city. When she is weak from a high fall and cornered, Carlos yells for Nemesis to get its attention, before blasting it with a rocket. As Nemesis falls to its knees, Carlos runs for Jill, saying, “Hey, easy, lady… I got ya.” Jill starts to panic, asking who he is and what he’s doing. Carlos informs her of his name and that he’s saving her. Helping Jill up, Carlos wraps Jill’s arm around his neck and the two walk off.

Carlos takes Jill to the subway where he and his men have converted subway cars into a shelter for survivors. Carlos reaches to wrap an arm around her to guide them there, when Jill lightly pushes him off. Carlos comments, ''“Personal space. Okay, I get it. Let’s go.”'' With that, Jill follows Carlos from behind. During their walk for the shelter, Carlos informs Jill that he works for Umbrella, leading to Jill lashing out at him that his company caused this mess in the first place. Carlos tells Jill the she doesn’t have to trust him, though he is going for that shelter.

The two make it for the subway car where Carlos tells his captain that “this fine young lady could our help”. His captain, Mikhail Viktor, gets Jill to tell him her name, as well has already having the knowledge of what Jill does for work. Hearing Viktor talk about the trouble they’re in attempting to get some survivors out of the city, Jill agrees to help them with getting the subway car moving. Becoming allies, Carlos calls Jill “Supercop” and hands her a radio. He tells her she needs to gear up and that there are supplies on the street level. Street level, Jill radios Carlos what she needs to do now. He tells her she needs to get to the substation and to go through a side alley. Jill can see that the alley in question is filled with fire, leading to Carlos telling her, “Surely a tall drink of water like yourself can put out a few flames.” Jill tells him off and continues on her way.

Jill is able to get power back on, which she relays this back to Carlos. Next he tells her she needs to get to the traffic control system. Shortly after, Jill is attacked by Nemesis again. Once evading him, Jill radios Carlos, panic stricken that it’s not dead. Carlos immediately tells her to run back for the subway station. Jill tells him no, that she has to get the traffic control system back on first. Jill makes it back to the subway control station where Carlos tells her what route in program in. Upon doing that, Carlos praises Jill for her work, telling her, ''“Jill, you are amazing! Tough as nails too.”''

Jill heads back for the subway station, where Carlos greets her with another compliment, telling her, ''“Nice job, Supercop. I’m impressed.”'' Jill dismisses it, asking him if they’re “back in business”. They are, though the moment is short lived when Nemesis finds Jill again. Carlos sees it first, alerting Jill it its presence. Jill fakes out Carlos by starting to close the gate between them and Nemesis when Jill rolls under the gate at the last moment. Carlos shakes the gate, yelling, ''“Hey, wait! Wait Jill, no! God dammit!”''

Jill fights and evades Nemesis where she descends into the sewer area. Once leaving Nemesis behind, Jill attempts to contact Carlos, though the radio signal does not reach. On her own, Jill navigates her way around until she reaches a higher area where she’s able to get back into contact with him. Upon hearing Jill, Carlos’ voice floods with relieve, asking if she’s okay. In the process of getting back to Carlos and the station, Jill is again caught by Nemesis, forcing a roof top battle to ensue with Jill coming out on top. Back on street level, Jill radios Carlos about the win, telling him that the “bastard’s dead”. Carlos asks her if she’s alright, following with lightly scolding her about “turning herself into bait”. Jill tells him not to start, that she did what she had to. Carlos responds that he knows and thanks her for it.

Jill is again attacked by Nemesis, much to Jill and Carlos’ shock. Carlos tells her that he has something that may “slow that fucker down,” telling Jill to come back for the station. Jill questions this, as this would mean leading Nemesis right to him. Carlos tells her it’s okay and to trust him.

As Jill is running away, Carlos is already outside, he sees her first, gesturing for Jill to follow him. Carlos had planted a bomb, that when Nemesis steps on it, it harshly blows it into a tanker truck. Carlos runs up to Jill, asking her is she’s okay, before quickly telling her to go. As Jill is running, she notices Carlos hanging back, shooting Nemesis. She yells for him to “forget about him”. Carlos listens and runs after her, taking a few extra shots at the tanker. The truck explodes, knocking Carlos down as the gate closes between them. Jill helps Carlos stand up and the two head deeper for the subway, where Jill tells him, “Carlos, I know we didn’t get off to a great start, but… thanks for the save.” In return, Carlos tells her, ''“Hey, you saved my ass first. You’re a hell of a lot braver than me.”''

Jill soon learns that Carlos will not be catching the train as he has received new orders. Jill is stunned, though hides it well. At the subway car, Jill asks if this is the last ride out of the city, leaving Carlos to tell her, ''“It’s alright, you go on ahead. I’m not gonna die on you, and leave you in a cold, cruel, Carlos-less world.”'' Jill boards the train, telling him “okay” with a light smile. As the subway begins to move, Jill looks out the window to Carlos, the two never reverting their eyes from the other until they’re out of sight.

Sometime later, Carlos comments to his partner, Tyrell Patrick, that the subway should have made it out of the city by now. Tyrell is quick to mention Jill, referring to her as Carlos’ “hot date”. Carlos tells him, ''“Nah, she’s not like that. Hell, she’s not like anybody.”''

Carlos and Tyrell head for the Raccoon City Police Department. Part of their mission, to locate Dr. Bard, requires them to go to the S.T.A.R.S office. As Tyrell is working the computer, Carlos can look around the room. Inside Albert Wesker’s old office can Carlos find a photo of all S.T.A.R.S. members, Carlos asking himself if that’s Jill he sees in the front row. Not long after as Carlos is about to leave the room, he gets a call from Jill about the subway derailing. Their call is cut out as Carlos keeps frantically calling out Jill’s name. Carlos tells Tyrell that he’s got to go, before exiting out the room.

On Jill’s end, it’s revealed that the Nemesis had found her again and the derailing being of Viktor sacrificing himself by having a bomb go off in his hand as he was gripped by Nemesis. Jill seems to be the only survivor, which she relays back to Carlos when she’s street level. As she’s talking to Carlos, Jill notices Nemesis launch out of the river it had fallen into minutes prior. Carlos keeps frantically calling out Jill’s name, which is where he tells Tyrell he’s got to go on his end.

Roughly half a day later, Carlos finds Jill lying on the ground. He sees she’s been infected. Not getting any response from her, Carlos radios Tyrell that he’s going to take her to the hospital, that maybe Dr. Bard can save her. He carefully picks her up, telling her, ''“You hang in there, Supercop. I got ya.”''

Carlos carries Jill to Spencer Memorial Hospital, where he finds her a bed, gently laying her down. Jill is unresponsive, leaving Carlos to tell her, ''“Fight it, Jill. I’m gonna get you the vaccine.”'' Before Carlos leaves, he promises Jill’s that she’s going to be okay. As Carlos makes his way through the hospital, he grows frustrated at having to fight zombies, as it means more time between him helping Jill.

Carlos makes it to Dr. Bard’s office where he finds a recording Bard did before being killed about his betrayal to Umbrella and Umbrella being the one to create the T-Virus. Carlos realizes that Jill knew all along, and that she trusted him anyway. He searches the office for the vaccine, finding it in a cooler. Carlos heads back for Jill, turning her over to inject the vaccine into her system. As he waits for Jill to wake, Carlos sits down in a chair next her bed.

Jill wakes up, though not before having a nightmare about Carlos becoming infected, him telling her to shoot him, as it’s “the only way”. In her nightmare, Jill hesitates to shoot him, allowing the infected Carlos to attack and presumably kill her. Jill sees that she’s alone and upon exiting the sickroom, she finds Tyrell. Jill mistakenly thanks him for saving her life, to which he tells her it was all Carlos. When asked where Carlos is, Tyrell informs her that he went “underground,” as Bard had stockpiled the vaccine, enough to give the city some hope. Jill realizes that Carlos thinks he can do this all by himself. After Tyrell attempts to convince Jill not to go, Jill insists that she’s going after him.

Underground in NEST 2, Jill is again fighting with Nemesis. Carlos sees her from an observatory where he uses the loud speakers to talk to her, telling her that he’s going to spot for her. Jill agrees to that idea. Carlos tells her when zombies are in the area of the dissolving tank and which tank Nemesis is on or behind, allowing Jill to electrocute it.

With Carlos’ help, Jill is able to take down Nemesis enough. As Jill looks up to where Carlos is, Carlos lowers a crane for Jill to climb onto. Nemesis, however, starts to get back up. Carlos yells for Jill to stay back as he slams the crane into Nemesis. With Jill on the crane and Nemesis melting in acid Carlos had dumped into the area, Carlos tells her he’s going to meet her up ahead. Unloading off the crane, Jill is met by Nicholai Ginovaef, a former ally, withholding the vaccine she had made prior. Jill begins a chase when suddenly Nemesis oozes out before her in a giant mass. Carlos runs up to see Jill facing the mass. Jill yells for Carlos to go after Ginovaef. Carlos questions what about her, with Jill telling him that “she’s got this”. Carlos accepts this, saying more or less to himself, “I know you do.”

Having taken down Nemesis for good, Jill runs to stop Ginovaef, commenting that she hopes Carlos had managed to stop him. Jill makes it the roof where she finds Carlos lying, unmoving. She runs for him, only to be kicked down by Ginovaef. Ginovaef has Jill at gunpoint, seconds from shooting her when Carlos lunges at him, saving her. Carlos and Ginovaef scuffle for a bit, ending with Carlos holding Ginovaef. Carlos yells for Jill to shoot Ginovaef, with Jill saying she can’t, as she’s afraid she’ll also hit Carlos. Carlos tells her “there’s no other way”. Mustering up the courage, Jill shoots Ginovaef, both men falling to the ground. Jill runs straight for Carlos, calling out his name. As she gets down, Carlos tells her, ''“Hey, I told you I couldn’t leave you in a Carlos-less world. That would just be too cruel.”'' Jill helps Carlos back stand up. Carlos heads for the nearby helicopter, starting it up as Jill questions Ginovaef. Fed up with Ginovaef’s antics, she and Carlos leave him for dead for the missile that’s less than 10 minutes away from hitting down on Raccoon City.

In the helicopter, Carlos asks Jill if she’s alright. Jill doesn’t answer as she’s waiting and watching for the missile to go by. When it does, the shock wave shakes their ride. She and Carlos hang on tight until it stables out again. Carlos turns back to her, saying, “It’s finally over.”
