Author's Notes: I do not own any property revolving Captain America nor Resident Evil. Captain America is owned by Marvel, which in turn is owned by Disney and Capcom owns Resident Evil. Story takes place post- The First Avenger and during the first encounter with the Tyrant at the end of the remastered first game. Rated Teen for language and intense violence. Enjoy.
"Shit!" S.T.A.R.S member Jill Valentine cursed as she fired three bullets at the released Tyrant monstrosity, the bullets appearing to do no damage whilst narrowly avoiding the creature's razor sharp claws.
If only she had reacted just a few seconds faster when the traitor Wesker released the Tyrant, the monster not even phased at the amount of rounds Jill unloaded at it. With Barry unconscious, Jill only had a couple of bullets left in her pistol.
Though luck seemed to change when Chris barged in, getting the monster's attention away from his partner. "Hey freak! Over here!" Redfield shouted, as the Tyrant now stalked toward its new prey. Aiming his pistol, Chris looks over to the other standing S.T.A.R.S member. "Jill, get Barry! Run!" He screamed and bravely stood his ground, squeezing off several rounds at the monster. The Tyrant felt nothing and backhanded Chris with its other hand, the superhuman strength of the blow sending him flying across the lab as his body laid motionless on the ground.
"Chris!" Jill screamed in horror as the Tyrant stalked towards the S.T.A.R.S member with clawed arm at the ready, intent of finishing the job. Instead of firing her last remaining bullets, in an attempt of self-sacrifice and extreme bravery to save Chris' life Jill ran at the Tyrant and climbed on its back, using her knife as she relentlessly stabbed the Umbrella creation all over its chest. Her plan seemed to work, as one of the stabs punctured a vein that was near it's exposed heart that was close to its left shoulder. This caused the Tyrant to roar in pain and with its other arm, grabbed Jill and threw her with inhumane, rage filled strength, her body colliding into a control panel on the other side of the lab.
Jill groaned from the impact as sparks land on the ground around her, the panel destroyed. The female S.T.A.R.S member attempted to stand, but yelled in agonizing pain causing her to slump back down. Jill could feel most of her ribs were broken as she checked her pistol, realizing she only had five bullets left. Looking up, she can see the Tyrant walking towards her slowly, brandishing its clawed arm With one hand on her ribs, Jill fired her last remaining shots with her other hand in a last ditched attempt to slow it down. Though, her hopes crumbled as the creature continued onward as her gun clicked at being empty. Throwing her now emptied pistol at the Tyrant in anger, Jill felt her eyes water. Oh God, was she going to die here?
Unbeknownst to Jill and the Tyrant, the control panel that was shattered by the impact released another specimen that was contained in a hidden room behind Jill. Said specimen was a young human male encased in a stasis pod, wearing a red, white, and blue army uniform. Accompanying the man was a similar designed shield.
This was the famous Captain America Steve Rogers, the legendary super soldier who went missing after he bravely saved the world from the Red Skull and HYDRA. Miraculously, Steve's super soldier physique allowed him to survive being submerged in the ice for over fifty years until the Umbrella Corporation discovered him. Practically gleeful at what they can do with his genetic coding, the higher-ups at Umbrella shipped the captain to the Spencer Estate with the intention of using him as a template to perfect the Tyrant supersoldier. Luckily for Steve, the outbreak occurred shortly after his arrival as the only thing the researchers did was move him from his entrapped ice prison into a stasis pod for planned testing.
With the panel destroyed, the pod glared red before its glass walls retracted into itself, sending the semi-unconscious Captain Rogers to the ground.
Groaning as though he took an extremely long nap, Steve clutched his head as he blinked repeatedly to regain his sight. What happening? Where am I? Where's Peggy? Steve thought before picking himself up the floor as well as his shield. The last thing Steve remembered was having his last conversation with Peggy before crashing the Red Skull's plane into the water. Taking in his surroundings, Steve realized he was in some kind of lab, though it gave him an unsettling vibe that reminded him of seeing Bucky in captivity.
Not wanting feelings of regret from watching Bucky fall to his death on the train, Steve immediately looked for answers. Was he in a HYDRA base? What really caught his attention were the security cameras on a computer nearby. As Steve watched, he saw what looked like some kind of monster stalking towards a badly injured woman, its clawed arm raised. To further his worries, he heard gunshots just outside the room and saw that the injured woman was firing her pistol at the… thing before the gun clicked empty, also confirming that all this was happening right now! Realizing what would happen if he didn't act despite not knowing what was going on, Steve couldn't just stand by and allow this abomination of nature kill this unarmed woman. Raising his shield with a newfound determination, the star spangled man went forth to war.
Jill's eyes widen in fear as the Tyrant was practically six feet from her. Jill struggled to get up, but the pain was just too much. "No… no!" She exclaimed in terror now that the Tyrant was in front of her, clawed arm ready for the kill. Feeling a lone tear fall down her left cheek, Jill closed her eyes. If she was going to die, she would rather not see it coming. The female S.T.A.R.S member awaited her fate as felt the air shift from the Tyrant's swing, knowing full well she is seconds from death.
PING!
At the sound of a metallic ping, Jill opened her eyes only to find the Tyrant being sent back a few feet by a circular red and white blur. The object somehow bounced off the monster and returned to its owner behind Jill, who looked behind and her eyes widen at her savior.
Her hero was a tall, well-built young man who looked a little older than Jill herself dressed in a worn and hilariously bad overly patriotic army uniform. From his strong jaw to his well-kept blonde hair to his baby blue eyes, Jill couldn't help but admit how handsome he looked. His outfit, despite how worn down it was, kept a color scheme of the American flag. The top upper half of his uniform and his pants were blue, as the bottom upper half was white with two red straps standing vertically. The red straps were also attached to a leather suspender that kept his uniform in place, as well as matching leather gloves and boots. On the blue portion on his chest, a white star shines prominently in the center, and one of his hands Jill realized that the object he threw was a shield.
The shield too followed in this patriotic theme like a white star designed in the center that was prominent in a blue circle. A red, white, and another red circle traced over the blue circle, the shield too following a patriotic theme like the man's uniform.
The Tyrant growled at the intruder as the man boldly stepped forward in front of Jill in a protective stance. "Now, I don't know how HYDRA made you…" The star spangled man stated, his blue eyes glaring at the monster. "…But where I come from, that's no way to treat a woman." He stated, as he readied his shield in a defensive pose. The Tyrant's only response was a low growl as it prepared its clawed arm to skewer the newcomer.
While Jill admired his bravery, she also realized how he didn't have any firearm on his person. "What are you crazy? You want to fight that thing with just a shield?" She asked incredulously, though the man gave her a reassuring grin.
"Don't worry ma'am. This shield and I have gotten through a lot together. I have this handled." Steve replied confidently, before using the shield to block a downward strike from the Tyrant's clawed arm. Much to Jill's shock, the captain held his ground from the attack and the shield did not break from the Tyrant's superhuman strength. With a grunt of effort, Steve pushed the Tyrant back by slamming his shield into its head, stunning it momentarily before Steve body slammed into the Tyrant with all his might shield first, sending the creature through a glass container.
Jill felt her jaw drop at what she saw as the Tyrant got up from the attack, the creature clearly angered by the captain. With a mighty roar, the Tyrant itself charged and swung its clawed arm wildly but Steve rolled out of the way just in time, the Tyrant only clawing air. With the monster now exposed, Steve threw his shield at the Tyrant's face, once more stunning it before getting his shield back and used the sharp edges of his weapon to slice at the monster's tendons on its ankles.
The bioweapon roared in pain as blood began to ooze out, and in a rage, used its other arm to swing at the captain. Caught off guard, Steve got struck across the face and was sent back a few feet on the ground. To Jill's surprise, Steve got right back up, using his gloved hand to wipe some newly formed blood off the cut he received on his lip before resuming the fight. Now taking the offensive, the captain once more threw his mighty shield though this time the Tyrant knocked it to the ground. Undeterred, Steve used his super solider physique to vault over the Tyrant and ducked when the creature attempted another swing. While all this was going on, Steve recovered his shield and rammed it deeper into the now exposed tendons.
With the wounds now even more opened, the Tyrant roared as it fell to one knee with Steve noticing the creature's exposed heart near its left shoulder, the organ slightly bleeding from the wounds it received from Jill earlier. This distraction cost him as the enraged Tyrant slashed at Steve's chest, with the captain exclaiming in pain. Jill winced at the attack but remained awed that the captain refused to back down, despite now having a serious gash across his chest.
Both adversaries glared at each other, wounded and bleeding. "I can do this all day." Steve muttered as the Tyrant limped forward and slashed at the captain once more. Steve once more avoided the attack and used the opening to slam the sharp edges of his shield unto the Tyrant's exposed heart, cutting it deep as blood sputtered like a water hose. The Tyrant moaned in pain, its arm clutching the wound before falling to its knees once more. "Time to finish this." Steve said before giving a war cry, slamming into the Tyrant shield first with all his might as the bioweapon fell on its back. With the creature incapacitated, Steve slammed the sharp edges of his shield repeatedly unto the Tyrant's face and neck with all his remaining strength.
After striking the monster twelve times, Steve stopped to catch his breath. When he did, the Tyrant was wheezing as the captain noticed his attacks almost severed the neck. Before Steve could perform the final blow, he remembered the bloodshed in the war. Being a soldier, Steve had witnessed horrors that would have made grown men have nightmares for years. And being how brutal he was to take this monster down reminded him of it. Like fighting against the Nazis, Steve had to do what is necessary to protect the innocent, like the soldier he was. As much he hated taking a life, more will die unless this ended now.
With a final battle cry, Steve put the Tyrant out of its misery as he slammed his shield into the monster's neck one last time, which resulted in the Tyrant being decapitated. With the deed done, Steve panted in silence and looked at the monster's headless corpse, now dead. Still panting, the captain got up and walked towards Jill, still wincing from the wounds he endured from the battle.
Placing his iconic shield on his back, Steve offered Jill a helping hand. "C-Can you stand?" The star spangled man asked, as he finally regained his breathing.
Jill remained shocked beyond all belief that the man in front of her just killed that monster with just a shield, just continuing to stare back and forth from her savior to the bioweapon's corpse to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. She must have been lost in her thoughts for a while because she heard him repeat the same question. "What? Oh! Yeah… I can stand." Jill replied as she accepted his help to get back up. Steve smiled as he pulled her up back to his feet.
"Would you mind telling me what that thing was ma'am? Because that was something straight out of a nightmare." Steve asked, as Jill gave a gaze back to the corpse.
"It's one of Wesker's monsters. He's a traitor who worked with Umbrella to take out my team." Jill explained, before gazing softly back at Steve. "Thank you, for saving my life. I'd be a goner if you hadn't showed up." She thanked as Steve gave a nod of appreciation, despite the super soldier not knowing what Umbrella was or what exactly was going on.
"Steve Rogers." The captain introduced, extending his hand.
Jill smiled and shook it firmly. "Jill Valentine." She replied, as she too shook his hand. After the introduction, her eyes widen in worry. "Oh my God, Chris! Barry!" She exclaimed in worry for her teammates. Steve noticed her distress and looked at Chris' direction.
"Don't worry, I'll check on him." Steve said as he went to see Chris' condition as Jill went to see Barry. The S.T.A.R.S member kneeled down and shook the older man rigorously.
"Barry! Barry!" She exclaimed, and sighed when Barry came to. "You're okay." Jill smiled in relief as Barry clutched his head.
"Jill…" The older man replied as he hissed from residual pain. "Sorry, that was careless of me." He apologized before gazing at what remained from the Tyrant, his eyes widen in surprise. "How… how did you manage to cut its head off?" Barry asked in obvious shock.
Jill still retained her grin. "Not me, a friend helped out." She replied before pulling Barry to his feet.
"And Wesker?" Barry asked. Jill's eyes widened, during the entire fight she forget all about the traitor. When both turned to see his body…
"He's gone." Jill whispered, realizing he must have used the battle as a distraction to slip away.
As Jill helped Barry, Steve kneeled down to check on Chris. Aside from a nasty gash on the head that will definitely need stiches, Chris seemed to be okay as Steve shook the young man's shoulder. Chris groaned as he awoke to the unknown sight of a tall, blonde man wearing an overly patriotic uniform. Chris would have commented had the safety of his teammates not come first. "Who are you? Where's Jill?" Chris asked, as he was helped up to his feet by the captain.
"Steve Rogers." The captain introduced. "And she's fine." Steve assured, in which Chris nodded in thanks.
"What about the monster?" Chris asked, which Steve gave a confident grin.
"Taken cared of." Steve replied, and gestured to the creature's headless body. Chris gave a look of respect towards Steve before rushing towards his teammates.
"Jill!" He exclaimed in relief, something in which she had in return.
"Chris!" She also exclaimed as the two embraced in a passionate hug.
"You're okay." Chris said softly as the moment ended before he looked at Barry, who too was fine.
"Thanks to our new friend." Jill answered as Steve made himself present with all of them. As the star spangled man approached the S.T.A.R.S members, Barry's eyes widen in shock.
"Well, I'll be damned." Barry muttered, with Jill and Chris looking from him to Steve in confusion.
"Barry, you know this guy?" Chris asked, pointing his thumb at Steve.
The older man chuckled. "Know him? You should've paid attention in history class. This is Captain America; he saved the world from the Nazis back in the forties by sacrificing himself in the Artic. We all thought you died. " He answered in awe.
"Wait, what year is it now?" Steve asked in alarm, his voice filled with panic.
"It's 1998." Jill replied, and felt sympathy at the captain's crestfallen expression. He must have been trapped under that ice for over fifty years? How is this possible? Jill internally asked herself, knowing full well Steve should have been in his seventies to eighties at least. Still, she noticed the overwhelming sadness and realization on Steve's face as he hadn't said a word after her answer. "Are you going to be okay?" She asked with concern, which Steve nodded.
"Yeah… it's just, I had a date." He whispered before looking back on the three. "Can someone tell me what's going on and how I got here?" Steve asked, just as the alarm for the self-destruct sequence began.
"We'll tell you everything when we get out. Wesker must have pulled the self-destruct system. Let's move!" Barry said, knowing full well that the traitor activated it to cover his tracks. The four raced out of the lab and ran towards to the surface, Barry and the other S.T.A.R.S members leading with Steve following close behind. As they ran, Jill yelped in pain as she leaned against a wall, clearly the running not good in the condition she's in.
"Jill!" Chris exclaimed, with the three stopping to see if Jill can make it. "Can you walk?"
Jill nodded, despite the obvious pain. "Chris, I'm fine. Let's just—" She couldn't finish as when she attempted a running start, Jill groaned again from her injuries.
Not wanting Jill to hurt herself due to her stubbornness, Steve carried her bridal style, despite her reluctance. "Put me down, I'm fine!" She insisted, her cheeks flushed either in embarrassment of the situation or how close she was to Steve's muscled chest.
Steve only grinned at her. "You remind me of another strong woman I knew. You two would have gotten along just fine." The captain complimented before turning to Barry and Chris. "Which way?" He asked, and the escape continued. Despite carrying Jill, it didn't bother Steve as he effortlessly caught up to the other S.T.A.R.S members. As the countdown continued, Steve turned towards Chris and Barry. "Do we have a ride out of here?" The captain, knowing full well they can't escape an explosion.
"There's signal rockets on the roof. Our pilot Brad should notice them and fly us the hell out." Barry explained, which the captain nodded in relief as the three increased their pace to get to the roof on the facility. With only four minutes to go, the four made it.
Seeing the rockets, Chris immediately fired one of them into the sky as both he and Barry waved their arms to gain Brad's attention. Luckily, with how clear dawn was, all four smile in relief when they see Brad's helicopter come into view.
Although Steve heard that helicopters were deployed in the war, he never actually saw one in person as there were so few developed. Seeing Steve's face caused Chris to grin. "Let's leave this hellhole." He stated as Brad opened the doors for them to be picked up. All four quickly piled in which Jill came in first, as she was the most wounded. With everyone buckled up, Brad immediately pulled up and flew away.
With the helicopter high in the sky, Steve glanced out the window and saw the entire Spencer Estate complex… right before it was engulfed in a fiery explosion. The supersoldier glanced to his right and sees Barry checking his revolver, and looks straight ahead to see a resting Jill sleeping on Chris' shoulder. Seeing that brought a grin to Steve's face, something that Chris noticed.
"So, mind telling me how much I missed, and why there's an underground facility next to a mansion that housed an abomination of God's good work?" Steve asked, which Chris grinned in return.
"Well Captain, it's a long story." Chris answered back, though the star spangled man didn't seem to mind.
"I've been asleep for over fifty years, Chris. I've got all day."
