Chapter Text

The snow crunched under your feet as you took your first step outside, the wind howling in you and your close friend Uzi’s non-existent ears. The sound of a heavy metal door slamming shut behind you and Uzi. Startled, you turned to look at the door behind you. You look over at Uzi, who is looking up at the clouded sky’s above you both, the moon and a planet with a ring around it shining a bright blue.

Sighing Uzi turnes her attention towards you and askes, ”are you ready?” You stared at her for a moment before remembering why you were even out here to begin with. The murder drones, the whole reason you came out here was because Uzi insisted you join her to kill the drones that have been terrorizing your colony for years. You fidget with your hands, nodding slowly, not sure how to respond.

She grabs your hand, surprising you, and starts dragging you towards the terrifyingly tall corpse spire coming to a stop in front of it. You both stare at it for a good minute or two before Uzi starts walking inside. You stare at it for a bit longer, taking it all in, before rushing to catch up with her. By the time you get inside Uzi is already rummaging though whatever remains there were. Taking the time to look around you noticed what you assumed was a landing pod dead center of the spire, scattered debris and broken machinery surrounded the area. This place made you incredibly uneasy and you shivered a little. Uzi yells, ”Hey, (Y/N)! Are you just gonna stand there staring, or are you gonna help?”

Startled out of your thoughts, you immediately start rummaging close to where she was. Your hand picks up something peculiar and before you get to ask if this is what she’s looking for a hand covers your mouth. Uzi, looking terrified, drags you behind some machinery. Uzi puts a finger over her mouth wanting you to remain silent. She picks up a broken piece of glass that was laying on the ground and aims towards what you wish it wasn’t. “A murder drone?” Your voice barely above a whisper as your eyes widen. It was tall that was for sure, and it was drinking oil from a decapitated drone before crushing the head in its clawed hand.

The moment you spoke the murder drone turned to look in your direction, panicking you handed Uzi the part you found. Uzi smirked and got up from her spot to prepare her gun. ”Thanks, it’s just what I was needing! Now stand down I’ll handle it from here!” You were about to protest but she had already taken off before you could even get a word in. You sit down about to get comfortable before you were almost stabbed. You bolted yelling ,”oh sweet robo Jesus!” Catching Uzi’s attention she turns and aims or at least tries to before it stabs though Uzi’s hand with its long needle tipped tail and tossing her. Dropping the gun in the process, you pick it up shaking slightly. Uzi turns to look at you and yells “Point and shoot!”, “but…I-“, ”(Y/N) trust me!” You aimed the gun, and screwed you eyes shut. Pulling the trigger you were almost sent flying by the force of it…

“Holy hell, suck on that dad!” Uzi’s voice caused you to carefully open your eyes, seeing the drone headless, you smiled slightly. Though the victory was short lived when the murder drone’s head grew back. You held the gun tightly to your chest, backing up, while Uzi ran up to it and slapped it with a dismembered worker drone arm she picked up off the ground. “…Did you just slap me with that arm?” ‘It talks, holy shit it-‘, ”holy crap it talks” Uzi murmurs. “Yeah sorry, it’s just my, uh, head kinda hurts. Hey, are you new to our squad? Your a little short for uhh…” Something flashes across its screen before it continues saying, ”short for a disassembly drone.” You and Uzi stare at each other for a second before returning our gazes back towards the disassembly drone. “I’m serial designation N, nice to meet you. I’m kind of the leader of the squad in this city. That’s not true, everyone tells me I’m useless and terrible. Wait, I’m not supposed to tell you that part! Biscuits!”

You looked at Uzi, spinning your index finger near your head in a circle a few times, causing Uzi to chuckle lightly under her breath when she noticed. “Well honesty is the best policy,” laughing a little before it continues, ”I also can’t seem to remember the past three hours of my life, but I’m sure that will sort itself out.” Uzi finally speaks after what feels like forever, ”uh huh… we, uh, have to, go.” Using the arm she was still holding to point towards the exit. She clutched her hand suddenly, causing her to drop the dismembered arm. You quickly rushed to her side to take a good look at her injury.

“Stuck yourself? Just pop it in your mouth. Our saliva neutralizes the nanites, otherwise I would be constantly disassembling myself.” He just barely manages to catch the needle full of nanite acid before it got to close to his head. Uzi looks at it and says, ”and by our saliva you mean…” “Disassembly drone?” N and Uzi say in unison. Uzi looked towards you before saying, “right. Hey, let’s in that landing pod over there,” pointing at the landing pod in the center. N’s eyes follow where Uzi is pointing and says, ”Sure! I love doing anything!”

Uzi, pulling her hand out of N’s mouth, causes a gross, wet, pop sound to echo throughout the small pod. Uzi, grossed out, glares at N, N looking somewhat uncomfortable says, “Sweet! Uh, I'm open to new things, I guess.” Uzi, still glaring, angrily murmurs, “we are never talking about this.” You look at Uzi’s hand, gently holding onto her once injured hand. Startling Uzi, who turns to look at you while you flip her hand palm side up. N begins speaking while awkwardly scratching the back of his head, “talking about what? Consider it, uh... Repressed!” You let go of Uzi’s hand to explore the small pod.

Your hand glides over the buttons of the control panel, causing your brows to furrow as you get lost in thought. ”Is your squad member always this quiet?” You startle out of your thoughts and turn your head towards N. Uzi turns her head, looking in your direction. Watching as you stiffened slightly, fidgeting with the railgun hanging on your back. Uzi decides to speak up for you, noticing your unease, “it’s nothing personal, she’s always like this around new people.” N, giving you a sympathetic look murmurs, “I see…” Uzi gently places a hand on your arm to ground you, you look at Uzi thankful while gently patting her hand. Uzi then begins asking, “…uh, you mentioned other members of your squad? Are they coming back soon?” N, looking towards Uzi, smiles and says, “Oh, yeah. Two others. They're out hunting for a bit but you'll love them. First, there's V.”

He then proceeds to go into the gruesome detailed ways V and J murdered worker drones. Your grip on Uzi’s hand tightened, not enough to hurt her, but enough to help you remain grounded. “J's awesome. Hey, let me give you the tour! Outside are the corpse... wall... thingies. In here are the buttons!” He starts pressing random buttons, while you stare at the at N. You put a hand to your chin and snap your fingers when it finally hits you. “This… isn’t just a land pod…” You begin saying looking towards Uzi, her eyes immediately lighting up while you both say in unison, “This is a spaceship!” Uzi excitedly continues, “this could get us off the planet!” N, looking in our direction, laughs awkwardly, “more of a one-use missile. They never taught us how to land.”

You space out for a moment while you stare at the control panel. ‘A way to leave the planet?’ You almost couldn’t believe it. Your immediately snapped out of you thoughts when you hear a loud thud. Panicked, you grab Uzi’s wrist and book it. The wind howling past you both as you left the corpse spire, the snow made a loud crunching noise with each step. When the doors were finally in sight you yelled, “finally! I never thought I would be happy to see these stupid doors!” You let go of Uzi’s wrist, while Uzi quickly pulls out the key card placing it on the scanner. You both stood there watching as the door opened painfully slow. You both rushed inside, ruining some worker drones card game. They all start complaining but shut up when she starts yelling, “bite me! Close it, close it!” Repeatedly putting the card against the scanner, and just as it was about to shut a clawed hand caught it before it could.

N’s eyes are an x across his screen before returning to two dots when he notices them playing cards. “Hey, fellas. Oh, deal me in, I love rummy. Wait, no, I'm going to murder everyone... Brain check!” The key card Uzi was holding is stabbed into the card reader, forcing the doors to open. You grab the strap for the railgun to take it off your back, handing it over to Uzi. Uzi looks over at you giving you a nod, you both run for it. While you two are sprinting down the corridor a worker drone catches up to you saying, “Hey, guys! I just realized no one's said my name out loud before, so I'm just letting you know I'm-“ before the drone can finish speaking they’re sliced in half.

Uzi take a look at her gun noticing that it finally recharged she comes to a stop, her feet skidding across the floor. You and Uzi turn around at the sound of the door behind you opening, “ Pretty nice hydraulics, huh?” Khan pauses for a moment, taking in the damage of the area and the scattered remains of worker drones “...What-What have you done?” Before either of you can get a word out N swoops down nearly sending you guys flying. Uzi, standing her ground, glares at N. “This time, I won't miss!” N chuckles and turns to look at Uzi saying, “I'm sorry. I really enjoyed our time together, but I can't have you shooting V with that thing.” Uzi snaps, “Bite me! Dad, get down!” You look over at Khan who looks terrified and upset, “Uzi, you Lead a murder drone here?! My beautiful doors!” Uzi, rolling her eyes snaps, “Now is so not the time! I messed up, in the same way I'm about to fix it! Move, dad!” You barely manage to tackle Uzi out of the way when N tries to pin her to the wall. Uzi’s gun sliding all the to Khan’s feet, “Dad... Point and shoot... Trust me...!”

You look over at Khan who’s trembling and taking cautious steps backwards. Uzi, looking over at her father heartbroken murmurs, “dad?” Khan stares at the floor looking conflicted before finally shut the door in front of him. Uzi, heartbroken, hugs you tightly. You flinch, feeling a burning sensation on your back. Uzi immediately notices you flinch and pulls her arms away. Uzi notices oil on her arms before panicking, “(Y/N)! Your bleeding!” Startled, you place a hand on you back before pulling it away to examine it. You look over at Uzi your voice barely above a whisper, “be honest… How bad is it?” You turn around so Uzi can examine it, “yeah, that’s uh, pretty bad…” You groan feeling exhausted, “well this just sucks!” You manage to get a chuckle out of Uzi before remembering the cause of your predicament. You turn to look at N, who seemed somewhat distraught.

N snaps out of it, picking you both by the collar of your clothes with his bladed wings, and launching you both, you and Uzi land in a corner. His wings retract when the sound of footsteps gets louder with each step. Someone, you can’t tell who from where you landed, approaches N, “Whoa, N! Am I dreaming, or did you do something not useless, for once?” N, looking startled, looks up at the sound of a feminine voice. “I've been trying to get past those doors for months. Nice work, N.” N immediately becomes flustered, struggling to get his words out, ”...You... Me... Name... Remember...?” You cover your mouth with your hands to hold back any sounds of laughter from escaping. A feminine voice speaks up again, “these ventilation shafts can easily get us around this last door. Lowest body count eats a missile!” The sound of wings flapping and laughter was followed soon after. “Way to go, stud. The company's gonna love this. With this colony wiped, we'll make top team this quarter, for sure. You know what that means... Branded pens!” N oohs at it while she clicks it rapidly. She tosses N the pen, ready to take off before N speaks up, ”Uh, you know, not that I can't wait to keep murdering all these, uh, maybe not-so-actually different from us Worker Drones, but, just out of curiosity, do we actually, uh, know what the company plans to do with us afterwards...?”

She stills to turn and look at him, “excuse me...?” N immediately stiffens before continuing, “okay, so, a worker earlier might have suggested that they could fix up our landing pod to, uh, escape the planet and stuff, which, whoa, hey, that's against the rules! But, it is kind of making me question why our pods were only one way in the first place. Cause, you know, I get the feeling the company doesn't actually love robots, and like we might be robots. I've made a terrible mistake. It's cool how immediately I could tell.” The female in question gets up close and personal with N. “ Hmm... No way, buddy. Questioning the company? You just finally gave me the excuse I needed.” N stiffens and collapses to the ground. “Worker drones are corrupted, N. That's why the company sent us. I hate to see you corrupted as well.” N turns over, letting you get a better view of his screen showing a virus. N barely manages to say, “thanks, J... Always looking out for me... You're awesome...” The one known as J huffs and flies off.

You both get out of you hiding places, though you walk towards N and Uzi tries to find her way around. You hesitate for a moment not sure what to do when N speaks up, “ah, biscuits. I'm sorry. I ruined your card game, then made you have an awkward moment with your dad.” Uzi turns to look at him saying, “ And I made you rebel like an angsty teen, which got you killed. Though, you also tried to kill me, so morality calls this a draw.” Uzi climbs on top of a box before reaching upward toward a ventilation shaft before groaning. “For the record, that was the lamest heel-face turn in history. Was that supposed to be you switching sides?” You gently place a hand on his head to move his hair out his face. N murmurs, “being rebellious is a lot harder than it looks. Thanks for showing me the ropes.” Uzi turns to glare at him before saying, “Nuh-uh, no bonding thing. You just killed a bunch of people, idiot. N clenches his hands into a fist before speaking up again, “That's super fair...” he lets out a sigh his hands unclench, “I screwed up...” Uzi groans once more before walking over to N saying, “In the same way you're about to fix it?” N giving her a thumbs up laughs, “I love doing anything!”

Chapter Text

The sickening sound of laughter bounced off the walls, a place that was once considered a safe haven for worker drones. A loud thud was heard as the head of a worker drone was dropped. You three were in the ventilation shafts, managing to hear Thad say, “Are you kidding me?! You're the WDF, right? Defend!” No response was heard, you hear him continue, “for real?” You look over at Uzi, who looks pissed. The three drop down from the ventilation shaft, making it just in time to stop Thad from being killed. You quickly hopped off of N’s back, not wanting to worsen your injury. N turns to look over at you with a worried expression, his brows furrowing. You blush slightly at the sudden attention, quickly turning your head away so he doesn’t catch it. Your eyes close and you take a deep breath in… and out…

You return your attention front and center, Uzi yells “hey!” V turns to look at her confused, “huh?” Uzi continues, “put that conventionally attractive male down!” N looks away from you to start waving towards V and J. Uzi elbows him to try and knock some sense into him. N awkwardly speaks up, “oh! Uh, J, you're sometimes kind of mean to me, and I wish you weren't. Just some constructive criticism.” Uzi smirks saying, “nice.” They fist bump while you stand there awkwardly. You walk off to sit down on the floor in front of the closed door, hugging your sides.

Thad runs up to you, Doll and Lizzy rush to catch up with him. A shocked expression crosses his features when he notices your injury, “holy hell! (Y/N) what happened?!” Thad reaches a hand out, causing you to flinch slightly. Thad freezes in place, noticing immediately. Doll and Lizzy look at each other before Doll walks over to you to get a better look. Doll’s brows furrow when she notices the severity of it. “You’ve just been walking around with that severe of an injury?! Without even trying to cover it!” You stare at him for a moment before shrugging. Thad face palms and groans, “remind me why I’m friends with you?” You let out a snort before retorting, “I don’t know, you’re the one that invited me into your weird, friend cult.”

Thad mumbles, “it’s not a cult…” You snicker and reply, “are you sure? Most of your friends seem to worship the literal ground you walk on.” That manages to get a laugh out of Thad who puts his hands on hips replying, “not you though right?” You cross your arms over your chest and angrily murmur, “ew, of course not…” Lizzy, looking weirded out, walks away with a huff. Doll soon notices, and waves towards Thad and I, before rushing to catch up with Lizzy.

You turn to look over to see Uzi standing triumphantly over J, “one more buzzword and I'll do it!” J, looking terrified for once begins speaking, “...Equity partnersh-“ Uzi pulls the trigger, cutting J off, and spitting on whatever remains of her. Uzi nearly collapses but N manages to catch her placing her onto one of his shoulders. The worker drones are cheering for them. You try to get up to go see Uzi before you collapse at the amount of oil you lost, you grumble out, “shit…” Thad turns to look at you, his expression panicked. “Hey Uzi and uh… the other guy can you come here for a sec!”

Uzi immediately turns to look over at your hunched over form, her eyes widening. N, looks over in Thad’s direction, “huh? Oh! N! I'm an angsty rebellious disassembly drone, now.” Uzi points in your direction, catching N’s attention as his gaze follows where her finger is aiming, noticing you he quickly runs in your direction. You look up, noticing N as he hesitates when he stops in front of you, “can I…?” He points to the injury on your back and you give him a thumbs up. He licks his hand and places it on your injury, causing you to stiffen. N stares at his hand when he pulls it away, and licks the oil off his hand. Your face explodes in a large blush as you look away while coughing into your clenched fist. Uzi, catching you blushing, snickers. You turn your head to glare at Uzi who starts laughing. N looks up at Uzi confused, Uzi just pats him on the head not replying.

A cough was heard and everyone turns their attention to the cause. Khan, Uzi glares daggers at him causing him to flinch back. “I brought the murder drones here accidentally. You chose to leave me for dead instead of just freaking believing in me! That's not even an edgy teen hyperbole like when I said it last week!” Khan doesn’t respond as he looks down at the floor, Uzi slaps herself across the face to regain her composure.“I'll save you the trouble dad. I banish myself!” Khan tries to respond but can’t seem to find the words. “Let's go, N. Everyone here can bite me!” N puts his hand out in front of you for you to grab, you hesitate before taking it. Nearly collapsing, you lean on N, who is still holding your hand. Once you notice you jerk your hand away and start fidgeting in with your hands. N looks down at you curious before picking you up and placing you on his available shoulder.

N grabs a tied up V, dragging her towards a hole in the ceiling. N looks over at Khan, smiling at him, “nice to meet you, Mr. Uzi!” Uzi rolls her eyes, smacking N on the back of the head, “shut it.” N spreads out his wings and takes off.

You and Uzi are sitting outside on top of a broken down car, staring out at the sun, casting everything in a deep orange glow. Your hands are placed under your chin as you bask in the sun’s presence. You lay down on the car, closing your eyes in bliss. “So, you wanna talk about that crush you have on N?” Your eyes shoot open, turning to look over at Uzi who’s smirking. You glare at her, your face not revealing anything, “you think I have a crush on N?” Uzi gives you a knowing look, replying teasingly, “don’t think I didn’t catch you blushing earlier.” You look away from Uzi murmuring, “yeah, right…”

N speaks up, hiding inside the corpse spire not too far away from you guys, “I'd join you if the sun didn't kill me. Hope you're having important character growth or something, though!” Uzi gets up to stand on top of the car, “just can't wait to murder all humans. Classic robot stuff. I hope they're sitting pretty there on Earth, because we're coming for them...!” Uzi starts laughing maniacally from her spot, you turn to look at her raising an eyebrow before closing your eyes once again, letting Uzi have her fun.

Chapter Text

You stand near a chained up V, who’s blowing bubbles, while Uzi is rummaging through the ship. She picks up something peculiar. You hear a sudden thud outside the ship, causing you to look over and see N dusting himself. noticing your staring, he blushes, and scratches at the back of his head. He looks up, His eyes locking with yours, his gaze becoming curious when you look away. N is dragged out of his thoughts when Uzi speaks up, “N, I found something in here!” You turn to look at Uzi, who’s inspecting her new findings, she looks up at the mirror, her eye changing into an odd symbol. The mirror shatters, and V speaks, “that’s weird and concerning.”

Uzi turns to glare at her replying, “bite me! This is probably you weirdo's fault!” V tilts her head, “I’ve never seen that symbol before.” V’s expression quickly turns psychotic as she continues, “wanna do an autopsy to find out?” N enters before anything can happen, “What'd you find?” Uzi slaps the peculiar item she found onto N’s hat, “did you know that was a pilot hat?” N looking surprised then immediately turns excited replies, “I was the pilot? That's awesome!” N then looks petrified, “I crashed and ruined everything…” Now smiling he continues, “Spaceship Pilot: Origin Story.”

V hisses, then starts blowing bubbles out of her bubble wand. You walk over towards N, wanting to get a look at his hat. You stand on your tiptoes and grab the brim, taking it off his head. N startles and turns to look at you. You rub your thumb over the symbol then immediately put it on your head. N looks over at Uzi, coughing into his fist to keep his composure, “…speaking of piloting to Earth, we sure "murder all humans" is, uh, morality?” Uzi rolls her eyes retorting, “the humans sent you without a communication relay and reformatted your memories to soup.” No one having a good rebuttal for that, Uzi continues, “Covering their tracks means their past negotiating. Not like they tried negotiating with my mom…”

V gets up close and personal with Uzi, startling her. V’s expression turning psychotic once again, “or she missed the negotiations! The humans programmed us to solve a problem. Where's proof of your backstory? The one where your kind is so conveniently innocent?” V chuckles when Uzi glares at her. N gently pulls Uzi to the side, not wanting anymore conflict. You put a hand on Uzi’s arm, giving her a reassuring squeeze, before playing with the hat you snatched from N. Uzi looks over at you smiling. Uzi pushes the hat down in front of your eyes, catching you by surprise. You lift the brim to look over at Uzi, who’s snickering.

N speaks up, “J was getting orders from someone. If not the company through that relay, then, uh, who? And how?” Uzi pouts, grumbling out, “quit complicating my murder plan.” You gently pat Uzi on the head when she leans into you. You look over at N, who’s pressing his index fingers together. You take off his hat and plop it back on N’s head. His head turns to look at you, his face covered by a slight blush, and his tail starts wagging.

“Oh, I'm sweaty! Who programmed that?” You and N turn to look at Uzi who’s glaring at her hands. N replying, “You good, Uzi?” She wipes a sweaty hand across N’s face, “I'm good! Better than good! I am God!” She freezes when she notices Thad. Uzi chuckles nervously walking towards him, “Hi, hi, Thad.” Thad hands Uzi her railgun and Uzi replies, “thank you.” Thad gives Uzi a charming smile, “of course ‘Zi!” Thad then turns towards N, “N&M’s. You saved my life. I don't think the colony is even serious about all this banishment stuff, more just confused. Especially with the fact-“ Uzi cuts him off, “I'm too rogue to re-enter society now? I can never return…” Thad furrows his brows, “…recent disappearances, and your murder friend's corpse. When I went to grab your gun, it kind of looked like it... crawled away...?” N immediately shots up and starts looking around nervously. You look over at Uzi who also looks nervous, “We can return a little…”

Uzi hops onto N’s shoulders and Uzi turns to look at you with an eyebrow raised. N notices you haven’t moved from your spot and N gives you a worried look. “Aren’t you coming with us?” You shake your head replying, “naw, you guys go ahead I’ll head back to the ship.” N’s brows furrow, looking like he wants to argue but Uzi nudges him. N looks up at Uzi who’s glaring at him tilting her head towards their colony’s base, N finally gives up sighing. He hesitates for a moment but spreads out his wings and they immediately take off. Once they're out of sight you groan and sit down on the ground. Thad turns to look at you worried and sits beside you. You're fidgeting with your hands trying to gather your thoughts. And when you finally look over at Thad he’s looking up at the sky. “I know a lot of shit just happened, but it’s not like you to stay behind.” Thad turns to look at you and continues, “are you doing okay?” You close your eyes and bury your face in your hands. Your reply comes out muffled, “I just need a moment to myself… I’ve rarely been separated from Uzi since the murder drones broke into our base”

Thad hums in acknowledgment, “would you like me to leave then?” You simply shrug and pick yourself off the ground. Dusting yourself off, you place a hand to your chin. You hear shuffling from behind you and look over to see Thad dusting himself, “I’ll head off then be careful okay?” You nod watching as Thad walks away. Once he’s gone you decide to walk back towards the ship, the snow sticking to your shoes. You let out a sigh of exhaustion. You suddenly feel something familiar, whatever it was it felt comforting? Confused, you look around and walk where the feeling was leading you, tripping, you fall face first into the snow with an ‘oof’. Raising your head to look behind you, you see a handle peeking out from the snow. Getting up to dust yourself off you walk over to grab the handle, hesitating before whispering, “fuck it” and lifting the door. You look down to place your foot on the ladder before debating with yourself once again if you should go in. You take a breath in and out and descend down the ladder.

When you finally reach the bottom, the room you’re in is pitch black. “Wish I brought a flashlight” you murmur. The feeling suddenly felt a lot stronger, guiding you. You close your eyes and let the feeling lead you to a light switch. Flipping it on the room is illuminated by light. You open your eyes and stare at your hands. Your brows furrow as you look around the room. ‘Why does this place feel so… familiar?’ It felt like a constant sense of déjà vu was present. Whatever this place was, it was important to you. You decide to look around trying to remember but nothing really stuck. That is until your hand glides across a VHS tape. Confused, you pick it up dusting it off. You look around for a VHS player. You find it still attached to a television. Looking down at the tape once again, trying to read the label. You give up huffing and decide to just put it in the player. The screen is covered in static before a person shows up on screen. A human, glaring at the screen, you decide to grab a nearby chair and drag it toward where you're standing.

Sitting down the person on screen begins to speak, “hi (Y/N)!” You stare at the person on screen who has a soft smile, “it’s a shame that I won’t be able to see you after I make this.” your eyes widen as you stare at the person on screen. “If you did find this I just wanted to clear some things up since I’m sure you're confused. I was never able to have kids of my own so I took it into my own hands.” Your brows shot up before furrowing. “I made you! Surprise!” She let out a cheerful laugh, her eyes softened as she placed her hand on the screen, you hesitate before mimicking the action. “I really do wish we could have gotten to know each other… I would have loved to see how you grew up. If you want your stuff I left your stuff in a box under my bed.” She turns to look behind her, brows furrowing and then turning to look back towards the screen. “I suppose I don’t have much time left, I suppose I should say it while I still have time… I love you and I’m sorry I can’t be there for you.” Your eyes tear up at the corners and you quickly wipe them away. “I suppose I should give you my name before it’s to late, my name is-”

the screen cuts to static and you stare at your reflection. Taking your hand off the screen, you get up to look for your creator’s room. When you open the door to her room you can see pictures of the two of you together on her nightstand. Walking over to pick it up you stare at it confused. It’s her holding a little you with such affection, but why don’t you remember her? Your brows furrow and you decide to hold onto the picture. You look under her bed to see the box she was talking about. Dragging it out from under the bed you open it to put the picture in. Closing it once again you carry the box with you. grabbing the dusty blanket to shake it off you set the box in the center. Grabbing both ends of the blanket so you can tie it over your shoulder and waist. Once you consider it secure enough you make your way back towards the exit, hand on the ladder taking one last look around before climbing up. Sunlight glares down on you when you finally exit. Sighing you walk towards the corpse spire, once inside you enter the ship.

N, curled up on the floor, immediately shoots his head up when he notices you, “(Y/N)!” He gets up from his spot and tackles you in a hug. Startled, you let out a yelp, eyes widening. “Oh thank goodness you’re okay! You had me so worried!” You simply pat him on the head in reassurance. He sets you down noticing the blanket tied around you. “What’s that?” You carefully untie the blanket, setting it down gently. The box sits in the middle and V looks over N’s shoulder curious, “what’s in it?” You shrug and reply, “not sure but apparently it’s some of my old stuff.” N has a hand on his chin looking off into the distance. “Hey so um, where’s Uzi?” N snaps out of it immediately looking upset, “well you see…”
