Summary
Sam’s hand hung in the air, suspended mid-reach. He could only stare. Lyle's eyes—one of the few features still visible beneath the heavy shadow of his cloak—were wide, glassy, almost wild. Despite being taller than Sam, he seemed to shrink into himself, small and cornered. Like a wounded animal.
Well… maybe not an animal. But wounded, absolutely. Sam's gaze dropped to the blood blooming across the fabric Lyle clutched tighter and tighter around himself.How did they even get here?
It was supposed to be a routine supply run. Nothing dramatic. They hadn’t even brought anyone else along, because it was meant to be quick.
Pick up some stuff from Eugene. Grab a few things from Lyle’s apartment. Deliver a love letter.
Watch the act of a good (Sam)aritan turn horribly, horribly wrong.Bookmarked by Apocalyptic_Umbra

Summary
“ ‘Cmon Benrey, use your words. “
Benreys claws dig into their palms. They hate that. They hated when scientists would say it and they hate that Gordon is saying it. They hate that they’re just now remembering that Gordon is a scientist. Even worse a scientist who worked at Black Mesa.
Benrey doesn’t owe anyone an explanation for their existence.
———
Alt summary; Gordon asks Benrey some questions about their abilities but isn’t satisfied with Benrey replies, causing them to kind of get in a argument
