Summary: AU/ Set just after the end of season three Xander goes on his road trip after Buffy and co break their friendships with him and tell him not to come back, he ends up in Racoon City just before the T-Virus leaks out. He must survive the virus outbreak along with the few other survivors as well as help them survive the vampires and demons that come out to take advantage of the situation.

Alexander Harris shifted as he pushed his Jeep a Toyota Landcruiser Amazon he had bought at a second hand dealers after selling his uncle Rory's old car as hard as he could towards his current destination, he was tired and all he wanted was a nice long shower and a long rest. It was now three months since he had left Sunnydale after his former friends had told him not to come back and that they no longer wanted him around, Buffy had stated she could no longer trust him after he had lied about the soul spell as well as cheating on Cordelia his former girlfriend. Willow was still feeling guilty about their time together and had just wanted to get rid of the reminder he brought within the group of her betrayal of Oz and Giles believed he was useless to the fight even though he was the one who had come up with the plan to destroy the ascended mayor, he shook his head at their beliefs petty that they were and he had come to the conclusion they were never his real friends and he no longer cared what happened in Sunnydale.

He blinked as he passed the road sign that indicated he was two miles out of Racoon city the closest city there was, he couldn't wait to reach it so he could have something to eat, a shower and a rest. The past was just that the past, granted he had not forgotten the truths he had learned in Sunnydale and had even gone hunting on his own during his trip whilst improving his fighting techniques in the cities he had stayed in and he was now more than a match for a single vampire or even two at a time.

He had stayed away from hunting demons unless someone's life was under threat and until he had managed to buy some decent weapons with the money he had stolen from the vampires he had killed.

Whilst some would say it was wrong especially his former friends he believed the money should be put to use seen as they no longer needed it, he smirked as he remembered the last thing he had said and done to Buffy. He had called her a dirty traitor and hit her square in the nose before walking away and he hoped he never saw any of them ever again, as he passed the one mile sign he wondered what Racoon city would have to offer him.

(Racoon City)

Jill Valentine sat in her room and listened as her former partner Chris Redfield reported their latest efforts to brings Umbrella down, after the incident at the mansion they and the rest of the surviving S.T.A.R.S had tried to warn anyone who would listen about what had happened but no one would listen and they were all fired from the R.P.D. Chris had led Barry Burton and Rebecca Chambers to Europe to try and find more evidence of Umbrella's actions, she had stayed here to try and recover any evidence that may have been left by Albert Wesker their traitorous former captain and anyone else in league with Umbrella but so far she had not had much luck. The final survivor of the incident Brad Vickers was missing although that was no surprise to her as he had abandoned them at the mansion at the first sign of trouble in the first place and once people had turned on them he had stated he was clearing out of the city as soon as he was able to.

"Yeah I hear you Chris" she said as she shook of her dark thoughts and realised Chris was awaiting an answer "Things here are the same, no one really cares anymore and they are buying everything they are been told by Umbrella, Irons and the Mayor" she informed him "I think I will be leaving here by the end of the week to join up with you guys, I doubt Wesker left anything behind for us to find and I have looked everywhere I could think off" she added "Yes okay say hi to Rebecca and Barry for me goodbye Chris" she finished as Chris signed off and they hung up

She could not wait to leave this city now, her life here was over thanks to Umbrella and those who worked for them. She stood and walked over to the window and looked out as she began to make plans to leave and join up with her fellow S.T.A.R.S before heading out to get something to eat as she was starving.

Across town Xander was just pulling into the nearby hotel after finally making it into the city, from what he had seen Racoon City was quite large and had plenty to keep him busy. He sighed as he shut off the engine and grabbed his near by backpack before getting out and heading into the hotel to book a room for a week or so, after signing in and checking the room out pleased to find it had a nice digital television and sound system as well a large double bed.

He quickly sorted his stuff out before leaving and heading out to find a local diner to get some food before he turned in for a hot shower and a long rest, he noted Umbrella a company he had come to see had a lot of connections in most major cities he had stayed in or passed through in the last three months was here also and from what he could see had a lot of connections to this city in particular. He smiled as he finally located a diner and headed straight for it just barely missing been hit by a very fast truck which came out of no where, he shook his head before reaching the door of the diner and holding it open for a very beautiful woman who came up behind him and nodded as she passed into the diner and he thought maybe this city would be better than the last one he had been in.

He entered the diner and went and sat next to the woman who had just passed him and picked up a menu and began to read what was on it, he immediately found something he could do with right now a cheese burger and frieze and a cup of coffee. After he had ordered he noticed the woman across from him was looking at him with a hint of curiosity on her face and so he raised his eyebrow in question which just made her smile

"You are not from around here are you?" she asked as she made her own selection from the menu to the waiter

"No I am not, I just arrived" Xander replied easily glad to have someone to talk to "I am just passing through on a road trip. Thought I would see what I can find, so far my trip has been great" he added "I've learned a lot since I left home and expanded my horizon" he stated

"I see, well let me give you a piece of advice do not stay in Racoon too long this place is nothing but trouble and I think it's about to get worse" the woman responded with a tight smile

Xander looked at her for a few minutes wondering at her response before noting her eyes seemed to convey something dark to him, he recognised it from people who had actually seen Vampires and demons up front and survived and he felt a shiver run down his spine at what this pointed his mind towards was going on in Racoon.

He blinked as the waiter brought them their orders and broke his train of thought, if something was going on in Racoon he would deal with it if he was forced too until then it was not his problem. He began to eat his meal whilst exchanging conversation with the woman who he learned was called Jill and had at one time been a member of the local police force before been dismissed for something she did not want to discuss and he was not going to force the issue with her. After he finished his meal he began to drink his coffee and allow his meal to settle and watched as Jill did the same

"So what exactly have you done during your trip Alex" she asked drinking her own coffee feeling more relaxed than she had in a long while, something about this young man put her at ease

"I been reading up on things, taking self defence lessons and working the odd job when I needed too" Xander replied surprised he did not get annoyed at Jill calling him Alex as he did with everyone else who had done it especially his parents "Also I've explored the cities I've stayed at and visited some historic sites, it really has been an eye opening experience so far" he added with a smile "Is there anything worth exploring in Racoon?" he asked

"Not really Alex" Jill responded "This city is mostly tied up with Umbrella, a lot of it's businesses have ties to it or are sub-divisions of it" she continued "There is the odd shop of interest and some nice sites but that is about it" she stated "And as I said before I think this entire place is about to go down hill" she added

"You seem quite certain of that Jill" Xander said curiously as he nursed his cup

"You haven't seen the things I have Alex, you do not know the things I do so I can see why I might confuse you with what I've said but believe me when I say do not under any circumstance let your guard down in this city" Jill warned him

Xander felt that shiver again and he began to wonder just what it was that Jill had seen and if it would make her feel better to know others had seen it too before shaking the thought off as he still did not know what she had seen and was just guessing it was vampires or demons and if it was not then she would just believe he was nuts and maybe try and have him committed as she was a former cop.

He sighed as he relaxed and tried to put the rather depressing conversations behind him, he was enjoying talking to Jill and would rather have a decent uplifting conversation than this kind and so he decided to change the topic.

"So how long you been in Racoon Jill?" he asked

"Since I was little, my father brought me here before he was arrested he was a master thief" Jill said before she could stop herself but she noted Xander did not seem put off by that fact "He taught me quite a lot of his trade which came in handy when I became a cop although I don't think he had that in mind when he trained me" she said with a small laugh

"No I expect not" Xander could not help but agree "Not to put a downer on this but those people over there seem to be trying to burn a hole in your back" he said as he looked behind her

"No surprise" Jill said as she looked back and noted three of them were cops "They are cops and like most people in this city have no brains of their own and would rather believe Umbrella's lies about things and so they all think me and my former partners are crazy" she told him "You know how it is?" she asked

"Yeah all to bloody well Jill" Xander said with a shake of his head "It never fails how stupid some people can be and how easy they are to fool into believing what you want them to believe" he continued "The world can be cruel sometimes and the people more so" he stated

All Jill could do was nod her head in agreement before she finished her coffee and decided it was time to leave, she paused as Xander did the same and then asked if she wanted to go somewhere. She thought about it for a few minutes before nodding her head seeing no reason to spoil her first decent break in a while so they decided to go to a nightclub Jill used to go to before she became a member of S.T.A.R.S

(Underground Labs Racoon City)

William Birkin closed his eyes as he put the phone down and knew in his heart it would not be long before Umbrella sent a team to get their hands on his newest creation the G-Virus and he would most likely be executed for defying their orders to hand it over even though he had told them it was not ready yet. The greedy suits wanted it to try and make more money in their weapons development program to make up for the failures of the T-virus and the incident in the Spencer mansion.

He cursed Wesker for fouling up and leaving him to deal with this mess, Spencer was no help as he was old and had little direct control over the company these days and the Ashcroft's were busy building a whole new lab complex somewhere. He looked up as his wife Annette entered the lab and he could tell she was worried, he tried to put on a brave face but knew he was failing miserably

"They're coming aren't they?" she asked as she walked over and wrapped her arms around him

"Yes they will come" he said reluctantly "I almost wish I had never gotten involved with Umbrella or Wesker but what's done is done and I will promise one thing they will not get the G-virus without a fight" he added with a fierce look

"Maybe we should run" Annette suggested even though she knew her husband was to stubborn to run

"No, they will just hunt us down and maybe harm Sherry as well just to spite us, you know Umbrella has no morals" William gently reminded her wife

"Can't Albert help?" she inquired as she sat across from him

"I haven't heard anything from Wesker since his very brief call to let me know he somehow survived the mansion incident going against what the remaining S.T.A.R.S reported" William answered running a hand through his hair and sighing

"Damn it William what can we do?" Annette almost shouted as her fear got the better of her for the minute "We'll have to hide a sample somewhere they would not think to look before their team gets here" she stated

"Yes, we have at best a day maybe two Annette to prepare for them" William informed her "Don't worry we'll have the last laugh no matter what and we'll send Sherry to the police station, Irons will look after her for the right incentive" he added as he began to lay down plans in his head

"Money" his wife spat in return "Just as long as he does the job cause if he doesn't I'll kill him myself" she added causing William to laugh as he knew Irons was no match for anyone these days having become so corrupt and twisted he had long ago lost any fitness he had once had

"Now come let us rest and then we'll set our plans in motion" William coxed her out of the lab and to their room briefly checking in on their daughter Sherry before they turned in themselves

(Umbrella Headquarters, Europe)

The man snarled as he hung up the phone and cursed the stubbornness of Birkin, there was no denying the man was a brilliant scientist but he was also a very big pain in the neck as far as he and the rest of the board was concerned and now he did not even have the backing of Spencer or Wesker and so he had decided to eliminate the problem now before Birkin decided to do something that was not in Umbrella's best interest.

He leaned back into his chair and summoned one of his underlings; he stood as he waited and walked over to pour himself a nice scotch and was just sitting back down as the door to his office opened and a young aide stepped inside

"Yes sir?" the man asked not daring to look him in the eye

"I want a strike team sent to Racoon City to first acquire a sample of the newly created G-Virus and second to eliminate William Birkin and his wife if necessary and make sure Hunk is a part of the team at least if he leads it there will be no failure now go" he commanded before downing his scotch and watching as his aide almost ran out to carry out his orders

He shook his head and turned to look out the near by window as he contemplated the future of his company, with Spencer taking more of a backwards role due to his old age and ill health he and the board had more power these days and he believed the G-Virus would bring them more rewards then ever especially after the near disaster of the Spencer mansion incident. They were lucky the surviving S.T.A.R.S had not come out of it with any real proof of their claims so they had easily discredited them but that had not deterred them although they were only five people and could do little real harm to Umbrella he was sure.

(Racoon City)

Xander moaned as he kissed Jill just outside his motel room slightly off balance from the heavy drinking they had done, he did not get drunk often but he had decided Jill seemed to need to let off some steam and so had joined her in downing at least five beers and a few whiskey shots. After dancing for an hour or two they had left and hit another bar before heading here and then not wanting the night to end he had shot forward and kissed her and was surprised when she did not pull away and instead clung to him and deepened the kiss absently running her leg over his.

He opened his door and moved them inside where once there Jill pushed him up against the door slamming it shut and he was just able to lock it as Jill began to trail down his neck causing him to almost growl, he turned them so Jill was against the door and ran one his hands down her side amazed at how well built she was. She was obviously a very fit woman and took care of her body; her black silk blouse seemed to mould her body making her impressive bust stand out more, her black skirt also hugged her body nicely and showed off her very fine legs which he was currently running a hand down much to his delight.

They started kissing once again and headed towards the bed stripping their clothes off as they went, when he managed to get rid of her bra he took a moment to simply stare at the large pair of breasts Jill had been gifted with before he bent and began to suckle one of her nipples causing her to moan in pleasure as she finally managed to get rid of his boxers and they fell onto the bed. For a brief moment Xander was glad he'd had sex with Faith before he set himself the task of making this experience a whole lot more satisfying for him and Jill, he trailed kisses down her body before moving up and suckling her other nipple before he moved up again and began to kiss her again as Jill grabbed him and guided him to her entrance and he gladly complied with her urging and entered her almost smiling as she let out a small cry of pleasure before they began grind against each other.

He quickly turned them around so Jill ended up on top of him and she smiled down at him before taking charge of the pace and began a slow ride which had him begging for more, the wicked smile she shot him just confirmed she was in control from this point on. He reached up and began to suckle her breast once more causing Jill to moan and pick up the pace as the pleasure mounted, she bent down and bit into his neck making sure to leave a mark on him before they climaxed at the same time and she collapsed on top of him. They breathed heavily as they recovered before cuddling up and falling asleep against each other, just before Xander nodded off he smiled as the peaceful look in Jill's eyes and decided he may stay in Racoon a little longer than he had originally planned.

(Motel, Europe)

Chris Redfield sighed as went over his conversation with Jill once more and he silently cursed that they had not found anything more incriminating to use against Umbrella just yet, he was tired as was Barry and Rebecca who were with him on this trip. Barry was missing his family who were now in hiding far away from Racoon forced by the simple fact as he did not want anyone to first harm them or to use them against them and force him to betray his fellow S.T.A.R.S. as Wesker did during the mansion incident a fact Barry still felt guilty over to this day no matter what he, Jill or Rebecca had said.

He sometimes found it hard to believe how much his life had changed since the day the S.T.A.R.S Alpha team had gone off in search of the missing Bravo team and ended up trapped in the Spencer Mansion facing monsters right out of a horror movie only these monsters were all too real and many of his fellow S.T.A.R.S died some by the hand of the traitorous Albert Wesker their former captain. Rebecca the youngest member of the team had been lucky to survive Bravo teams initial horror until he and the Alpha's had arrived and she had helped him survive through many horrors never letting her fear override her mind. He felt slightly guilty at bringing her along with them but she had insisted on staying with them until Umbrella had been brought down and her forceful personality reminded him so much of his younger sister Claire who he missed greatly.

Thinking of his sister brought up another factor Jill had brought up during their talk and that was his decision to not get in touch with Claire to let her know he was okay and what had happened lately. Jill thought it was a mistake but he was not willing to do anything which brought any attention from Umbrella onto his sister, she was not involved in this and if he had anything to say about it she never would. He clenched his fists at the very idea of his sister been put in danger by the horrors he had so recently fought and survived before taking a deep breathe and forcing himself to calm down as the door to his room opened and Barry and Rebecca entered looking calm and relaxed which was a change

"How is Jill?" Rebecca asked causing Chris to smile as he knew Jill and Rebecca had gotten very close almost like sisters since the mansion incident and she was missing Jill very much

"She is fine Rebecca and she says hi to you and Barry" Chris responded "She told me she plans to leave Racoon by the end of the week if she can as she has found nothing in her search for evidence we can use, once she leaves she'll meet up with us as soon as she can" he informed them

"Yes" Rebecca shouted happy to hear Jill would be joining them soon enough as she had begun to worry something had happened to her friend as there was no one to watch her back since they had left Racoon City

"I thought that would cheer you up" Chris said with a slight smile "Damn shame thought she couldn't find anything, I would have thought maybe Wesker had left something behind for us to find" he added

"Wesker was smart Chris" Barry reminded is friend with a haunted look in his eyes as he remembered how Wesker had manipulated him "He was not stupid enough to leave something lying around and if he did it would be well hidden and Jill no longer has access to the station and most other places since we were fired" he explained

"You're right Barry" Chris agreed although it aggravated him to admit it "Still once Jill joins up with us we should have more of a chance of finding something here" he added

"I am sure we will but for now let's go and get something to eat man I am starving" Barry said with a hopeful smile whilst Rebecca nodded her agreement with her larger team-mate

"Sure man, I am kinda hungry too" Chris responded as he grabbed his coat and followed his friends out and locking his door hoping nothing happened to Jill before she hooked up with them

(Racoon city, next morning)

Jill moaned as she woke with the sun shining in her face and a cracking hangover before she realised she was not alone in the bed and also she was not in her own apartment, she tried to remember what had happened last night and slowly bit by bit it came back to her how she had gone to the diner across from her building complex and met a young man called Alexander. They had talked over their meals and then she had decided to go to a nightclub she used to go to when she was younger and had got drunk before going to another bar and drinking more before coming back to his motel room and she decided to except his advances when he came onto her thus ending in her current predicament.

Granted she had a very good time last night the first in many since the mansion incident and a change she most likely had desperately needed since her friends had left but it was also a complication but she decided to deal with it later on for now she was going to relax and see what happened and what Alex would say when he woke up which he decided to do just now as he spooned her from behind his hand coming to rest on one of her breasts almost making her laugh

"Sorry" he mumbled as he went to move his hand but she quickly stopped him

"It's okay after all it's not like you haven't seen and felt them is it?" she asked with a teasing look behind him noticing he almost blushed "How's your head?" she asked

"Banging but it was worth it I had a good time last night, most likely the first one in a while" Xander answered with a smile of his own "Things went to hell back home before I went on my road trip it kinda forced the issue and since then I haven't exactly had fun" he admitted his tone dark

"How so Alex?" she inquired at what he meant

"My friends turned their backs on me and told me to leave town and not come back, we had been through some tough patches but I had come through for them at least I thought so but they didn't and turned on me and it hurt a lot Jill" Xander answered "I just don't know how they could be so deceitful, I trusted them I was there for them and I would have died for them but in the end they were not willing to do the same for me and it gutted me" he snarled before wincing at the hangover he had gained objected to his movement

Jill mulled over this piece of information as it showed a different side to the young man she had met last night, it showed a side which had been dented by the true darkness of the world just like she had been as the rest of her team had been. The mansion had showed them the truth of the world and there was no true happing ending for heroes just another darkness waiting for them and it would seem Alex had learned that bitterness just as well from a different set of circumstances.

She pushed back into him enjoying the warmth even if she knew in a few days she would have to leave him behind but for now she decided she could enjoy having some company especially one that did not hate or fear her for standing up to Umbrella. She turned in his arms and began to trail kisses down his neck eager for another ride but careful to go slowly as her hangover was still causing her pain
