Work Text:
When Five faces the Handler, his siblings’ wounds are turning the water red.
They battle her pod sisters, all with striking orca tails, and the same proclivity to play with their prey as they relentlessly hunt it down.
Five doesn’t bleed as freely as his family, with most of his body protected by his exoskeleton. He may lack their speed and dexterity in the water, but his jumps and tough hide give him some advantages.
His fury is palpable and icy, as he squares up to her, shoulders tense and his five-pronged trident gripped tightly in hand.
But he wins.
