Chapter Text
This was it.
The final passport destroyed, Benrey now was weak enough to be damaged by the science team
Doctor Coomer.
Doctor Bubby.
Doctor Coolatta.
And, of course
Doctor Freeman.
All stood side by side, ready to take down the malicious code turned entity.
Benrey.
He knew he was weakening
He could feel the fierceness of Bubby’s fire
The pain of Coomer’s punches
The ‘bullets’ from Gordon’s gun hand
And
The ferocious teeth of Sunkist, as Tommy sent him to attack
Tommy… He looked at Benrey with an expression that could only be explained as regret.
Benrey hoped that’s what Tommy saw in his expression too
But this couldn’t be the end?
He thought, desperately
Knowing that, when he dies, the game will end shortly after
He didn’t want to be the bad guy, but he knew his boss battle would be longer
Give him more time to hang out with everyone
Even if it was fighting
‘Just a little bit longer’ he kept hoping, like a child that wants to sleep in on a Monday morning
Just a little longer!
Benrey reminisced at his time in Black Mesa
Sure, Gordon was mean to him
But
He was still… Okay?
He liked Benrey’s jokes when he wasn’t angry and tried to be nice sometimes
Sure, he fucked everything up
But
Benrey did get guys to chop his arm off and sold him out to the military
Which is really mean.
Friends don’t snitch on friends
Maybe that’s why Feetman doesn’t want to be his friend
He wouldn’t be friends with a snitch either
Or someone who cut off a limb for fun.
Benrey looked sadly at Bubby, who had joined him in the plan
He forgave Bubby! Why not him? He thought, lashing out an attack aimed at Gordon
As he watched the other dodge, he reminded himself that Bubby didn’t plan on cutting Gordon’s hand off
Maybe that’s why
Maybe he should apologize?
Then Benrey began to shrink, not by his own doing
Everyone stood still
Was this a trick? The science team wondered
No, the shock on Benrey’s face seemed genuine
What was happening?
Benrey kept shrinking until he was tiny, easily squashable in one hand
Gordon was definitely measuring it that way
But
Before anyone could get their hands on tiny Benny, who was now simply floating in mid-air
A
Briefcase appeared, conjuring out of thin air
It opened, nothing but void inside
Benrey: “Yo what the fu-”
And
Snapped shut on the unfortunately Benrey, trapping him inside.
Then
A hand appeared near the briefcase, closing it’s fist around the handle
Then an arm before the entirety of the briefcase’s owner appeared, calming standing before the confused science team.
The G-man agaisted his tie before resting both of his arms by his side, as he looked at the science team with an expressionless face.
G-man: "I must give thanks where thanks is due... If it was not for destroying those. Pass-ports, I would not have been able to contain the entity."
Gordon: "So Benrey's 'gone' we're safe?"
G-man: "Yes, Doc-tor freeman, you and your friends are safe. From the entity's tyranny."
Bubby: "Finally we can go home."
Coomer: "Well what a lovely adventure wouldn't you say, gentlemen?"
Tommy: "Dad-"
Gordon: "Finally I can take a fucking nap."
G-man: "However..."
