Jillbarry

Jillbarry is the het ship between Jill Valentine and Barry Burton from the Resident Evil fandom.

Jill’s Campaign
On the night of July 24th 1998, the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) have been assigned into the Arklay Mountains to investigate a series of cannibalistic homicides. Bravo Team had been sent out the previous night and has since ceased radio contact, forcing Alpha Team to investigate their disappearance on top of completing the mission. Being attacked by a pack of Cerberuses (mutant dogs), Alpha Team runs for the Spencer Mansion seen from a distance.

In the ensuing chaos, Chris Redfield is lost. Once inside the mansion, Jill, Barry and Albert Wesker all hear a gunshot ring out. Wesker orders Jill to investigate, with Barry telling him he’ll go with Jill. Upon entering the dining room, the two find blood on the floor, hoping it’s not Chris’. As Barry stays to examine it, Jill leaves to investigate another room. She ends up finding a zombie feasting on Kenneth J. Sullivan. In her panic, she runs back to Barry, yelling ‘monster!’. Barry tells her that he’ll “take care of it”, and proceeds to shoot it down. The two head back for the foyer to report their findings to Wesker, only to discover him no long there. Jill and Barry search separately for bit, before meeting back up with no new clues on where Wesker or Chris could be. Barry suggests that he and Jill search separately for good, Barry taking the dining room again and Jill taking the other side of the door. Before leaving, Barry gives Jill a lock pick, claiming she’ll make better use of it.

Not too long after, Jill finds herself trapped inside a room where the ceiling starts to close in on top of her. Jill screams for help, with Barry hearing her. Barry shoots the doorknob, opening the door, before grabbing Jill’s hand and pulling her to the safety of the hallway. In the hallway, Barry jokes that Jill would have “fit nicely into a sandwich”. Jill is grateful for Barry being there, but always questions why he was there when they were supposed to be investigating other areas of the mansions. Barry stammers through his answer, claiming he had “something he wanted to check”. He quickly changes the topic to searching for Wesker and Chris, as they’re still missing. Before separating, Jill thanks Barry again and tells him that she “owes him one”. Barry tells her not to mention it and walks away to continue with his own investigation. Jill and Barry meets up again briefly where Barry gives her acid shells, so she can defend herself a little easier against the B.O.Ws hanging around and inside the mansion. The two soon go their separate ways again for time being. A little later, Jill finds a note left by Barry telling her he’s left her bullets.

After investigating the mansion a bit more, Jill walks in on Barry reading a file. As Jill makes no sound, Barry is startled and throws the file. Jill jokes that she “didn’t mean to get Barry that excited”. Barry hands the Jill the file to read; upon reading, Jill now understands why the mansion is “quite unnatural”. Barry leaves again to continue with his investigation, while Jill leaves to continue her own.
