Unlike Anyone Else (resident evil)

Back Together

   Jill sat in front of an obscure café in the middle of god knows where. Europe. She hugged her arms as she scanned her surroundings for Chris and the others, it was a bit breezier here than it was where she was previously. Her chest felt tight, she was nervous that they wouldn't show, especially after she had been sitting there for a while. What if she got the place wrong? Or the date wrong? Or what if Chris and the others decided she wasn't worth the time? She rolled her eyes at that one. Chris would never.

   But somehow the feeling just wouldn't go away.

   She felt like she had been sitting there for hours, until she finally saw them.

   Jill saw Chris first, he was wearing a green collared shirt and pants, along with a black vest and... has he been working out? As he got closer she noticed the vest had S.T.A.R.S written on it. Her heart felt heavy again. She had to tell him about everything that happened in Raccoon City. S.T.A.R.S. was done for.

   Barry hadn't changed much, then again it had only been a couple months since she'd seen that. His classic red vest is what she noticed first. He did look tired though, they all did.

   And Rebecca. She was in S.T.A.R.S. gear too, her green shirt covered by a white vest. Jill noticed they were all armed too. She unfortunately had to leave her handgun behind, but Chris was always overprepared, so hopefully he had something for her.

   Jill stood up to greet them, smiling way more than she should be in her opinion. She looked at Chris and suddenly all of the tension in her was released.

   "Chris-" He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him, giving her a hug she desperately needed. She was taken aback by that, but smiled as she wrapped her arms around his torso, hugging him tightly.

   "I'm so glad you're okay, partner." Chris said. Jill held back her tears, but she definitely felt them forming.

   "I have to tell you so much. Raccoon City, it's-"

   "Relax.. It's okay now," Chris rested his hand on the back of her head. Barry looked at her sympathetic,

   "We know you've been through hell, kid. We can hash all that out later." Jill pulled away from the hug with Chris to attack Barry with his own. She nearly knocked him over. He looked at Chris in surprise, who just looked at him like 'go with it' so he smiled and hugged her back. Finally Jill detached herself from him and looked at Rebecca, who had tears streaming down her face.

   "Don't think I forgot about you, Chambers." Jill felt a tear slip from her eye and smiled at her.

   "Jill..." Rebecca sniffed as Jill gave her a comforting hug.

   "I'm so glad you're okay! We all knew you would be but it's just such a huge relief!" Rebecca cried, her forehead resting against Jill's shoulder.

   "Shh, it's okay. I know. It's all okay now." Chris put a hand on Jill's shoulder.

   "Alright you two, Jill's probably starving. Let's talk about everything over a meal." Jill looked at him hopefully,

   "And a beer?" Chris paused. Barry stepped in and placed his hand over Chris'

   "Let's start with a sandwich."

   So now they were all awkwardly sitting at the tiny table in Chris' hotel room, trying to eat sandwiches without them falling off said table when they put them down. It was almost funny, if Jill wasn't talking about the disaster she faced while they were apart.

   "The T-Virus broke out... I tried to stop it but I was too late... They blew up the whole city..." Jill didn't feel hungry anymore. The rest of the table was silent. It seems they weren't either.
