Chapter 39 - Phil Coulson in Umbrella Co or Agents vs Zombies

Phil Coulson woke up to find himself in a cell after the events of Avengers in New York. He wondered who these highly trained guards were and why they were armed to the teeth with the latest weapons. Even Shield agents did not have weapons as technology advanced as these, only the military highest trained soldiers were issued with these weapons. Head cameras, weaponised drones following each soldier, miniature rail high caliber rail guns, some type of synthetic fibre that seems to protect the wearer and personalised visor computer accompanying each guard. These were some heavily equipped guards and some of them were ex-Shield operatives. Phil Coulson could recognise some of these guards, they were in the same generation as him and had taken early retirement.

"Hey Jack, is that you Jack Ryan ?", Phil Coulson called out.

"Is that you Phil ? Phil Coulson ? I almost did not recognise you. What are you doing here ?", Jack Ryan asked as he moved closer to Phil Coulson's cell.

"I was about to ask you the same question. One minute I was on the Shield helicarrier fighting Loki and the next minute... I died ???... Did I really die ?", Phil Coulson said in shock.

"That can't be ! No one can come back from the dead.", Phil Coulson added.

"Well Umbrella Corporation is suppose to be the leading pioneers in life sciences at least according to them. So reviving you from the dead may be possible for them. I have heard many rumours about them. How their main frame computer system is cut off from the internet. How there seems to be a special artificial intelligence linked to all their bases. I don't call their building offices but bases because they are armed to the teeth like they are waiting for world war 3.", Jack Ryan said with a warm smile.

"Can you tell me more Jack ? I need to tell Nick Fury about this.", Phil Coulson said worriedly.

"I cannot say anything Phil after all I am under contract. And Umbrella Corporation pays really well. That's why they hire the best of the best and equip each person with the best equipment in the world today. Heck even some of Shield's most advance surveillance equipment are here today. I don't know where they get their equipment from but they sure are advanced.", Jack Ryan said with a smile.

"Well who is in charge here ?", Phil Coulson asked nervously.

"Ha ! Ha ! Don't worry Phil, we were told to protect you and I was sent here specifically because we have a history together and we know each other. Our really big boss Albert Wesker asks to see you the moment you wake up. We were suppose to protect you in this cell for your own safety. Right now you are awake I will take you to see Mr. Albert Wesker.", Jack Ryan said with a warm laugh.

"Thank you Jack.", Phil Coulson said with a warm smile.

Phil Coulson were brought by Umbrella Corporation's guards to the highest floor where Albert Wesker was waiting for him.

(Phil Coulson's point of view)

We were walking through a long hallway, when I see a red eye monitoring me. It must be their artificial intelligence, I thought only Tony Stark had an artificial intelligence. How did they get one ? Who created it ? And what the heck is a Umbrella Corporation ? Hmm, the big doors to the office are opening, the big boss should be inside.

Oh ! This Albert Wesker is tall, I would say taller than 6 feet. Whoa he is wearing sunglasses during the night time. Why is he wearing sunglasses and why is he wearing all black. The suit he is wearing seems to be better than the military grade protection given to the army currently.

"Here you go Phil. My boss Mr. Albert Wesker and this is the agent of Shield Phil Coulson. I shall leave you now. See you Phil.", Jack Ryan said as he left the room.

Ray had come back to see Albert Wesker after his Avengers adventure and told him his change of plan. He wanted Albert Wesker to make Phil Coulson into a spy of Umbrella Corporation. But his real objective is to entrap Nick Fury. This will happen in the future if all goes to plan. So Ray expected Phil Coulson to be loyal to Nick Fury and betray Umbrella Corporation. Ray also added undead dragon blood into Albert Wesker increasing his strength to lift above 23 tons. Albert Wesker's invulnerability also increased with the addition of undead dragon blood to him.

"Mr. Wesker nice to meet you, I am Phil Coulson, agent of Shield.", Phil Coulson said as he put out his hand to shake Mr. Wesker's hand.

"I know who you are. If not for my relationship with Mr. Ray I would not even help you.", Mr. Albert Wesker said solemnly.

"Thank you for saving me, for bringing me back to life.", Phil Coulson said warmly.

"About that. I am afraid there are some complications in your revival. And I would suggest you tell your boss Nick Fury not to investigate us, if not even though we are friends with Mr. Ray, I will not hesitate to use force to make you comply.", Mr. Albert Wesker said solemnly.

"What ?! What complications are there to my revival back to life ?", Phil Coulson asked in shock.

"About that, you do know your revival is due to our T-Virus, however there is a nasty side effect to our T-Virus. Here let me show you. Red Queen bring up specimen 1 !", Mr. Albert Wesker shouted at his artificial intelligence called Red Queen.

The floor lifted up to show a glass cage holding a zombie who was trying to get out by clawing at the glass cage. You could say that the zombie was decayed and seems quite old.

"As you can see Mr. Phil Coulson, the first test subject of the T-Virus turned into a zombie after using it to revive him. As for your case using T-Virus on you also means that you can turn into a zombie anytime if you do not take our medicine the T-Cure. And that is also the reason why I don't want Nick Fury or Shield to investigate us, if not imagine the consequence of a nation wide pandemic of zombies if the T-Virus gets out of a Umbrella Corporation, it will be the end of humanity.", Mr. Albert Wesker said with a smirk. Of course Mr. Albert Wesker was lying, there was no T-Virus in Phil Coulson as Ray revived him. However Mr. Albert Wesker was told to lie by Ray so Phil Coulson can become an agent of Umbrella Corporation.

"Why ? Why did you do this to me ? You should have let me die !", Phil Coulson said in an upset tone.

"Well, don't worry, after taking the T-Cure for many years, some people do develop an immunity to the T-Virus and they become human again permanently. But you still need to take the T-Cure on a weekly basis.", Mr. Albert Wesker said firmly. The T-Cure is just salt water to be injected into Phil Coulson.

"Really ?.....", Phil Coulson said as a ray of hope shined through his mind.

"However now you are our spy Mr. Phil Coulson, you will spy for us on Shield and I will continue to provide you your T-Cure. You will need to take one dose of T-Cure per week. So in this case there are 12 T-Cures, that will last you for about 3 months. So work hard for us Phil Coulson ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha !", Mr. Albert Wesker lies happily. The T-Cure is just salt water, Ray told Mr. Albert Wesker to lie to Phil Coulson.

"Here...", Mr. Albert Wesker said as he passed a metal box containing 12 portions of the T-Cure to Phil Coulson. Phil Coulson quickly and nervously grabbed the metal box as if it contained his life.

"Thank you Mr. Albert Wesker. How do I contact you ?", Phil Coulson asked nervously.

"Here is a special hand phone. If you try to break into the hand phone, it will explode and it will mean you have betrayed us. Then you will turn into a zombie. So Mr. Phil Coulson, welcome to Umbrella Corporation.", Mr. Albert Wesker said with a smirk.

Phil Coulson took the phone and quietly left the room in a depressed manner.
