Jack felt something in his stomach the entire meal, divorced entirely from the steak of exotic meat and heavy wine the chieftain plied the grand table with. Something that had him hoping Rhys’ lips might get a little looser as the night went on. For most of dinner he continued in a state of interest and amusement, barely paying their host and his staff much mind aside from the occasional nod and noncommittal response.
And yet—even bogged down with food and alcohol and distracting omega scent—Jack was a hard man to take unawares.
He noticed a shifting in the chieftain’s guard, weapons that had stayed stiff and to attention all night lowering. Then, a shadow flittering in the balcony of the second floor overlooking the dining room. Then, the chieftain raising his glass in a silent, mock toast, sullen eyes glimmering with something cruel.
Jack spotted the red dot on Rhys’ chest a moment too late.
Assassination attempt style hurt/comfort fic in the vein of the Rival CEOs AU! Had fun with this. Will be cross-posted to Ao3 in a moment.
Though the expertly fine-tuned result of a lot of research and prototyping, there were still little things that set Rhys apart from the average human. His skin looked colder, muscles in his face less accustomed to human emotion. But never had he looked this pale, this still, not since Jack had first seen his unactivated body hanging in stasis in R&D.
He took in the grievous wounds littered over Rhys’ body, each worse than the last. Cuts and scratches around his port and left eye told Jack they’d tried to get into his brain, rip out those delicate Hyperion processors. A thin scalpel glimmered like a bloodied clue on the ground besides Rhys’ head. Even more tools sit scattered atop the table. Jack can only guess at their use and where they’d cut into his android’s body like the god-damn butchers they were, with none of the finesse and care Jack used whenever Rhys needed repairs or updates.
Bastards. Jack’s teeth ground together. They’d harvested his Rhys for parts then left him here to die.
I got a random urge to write robot gore, so some android!Rhys fic was born. Hope you guys like it 🙂
Thank you @snapped-pencil ! Jack has been without attention for an excruciating 2.53 seconds and Rhys just wants to eat his ice cream in peace, hope you like it! 😀 (non gif below~)
(PLEASE full view lol the quality is bad enough without Tumblr smooshing it)
ok this one took me a long time to come up with a good enough design! well i was going to draw rhys and tim as plant monster too, but i thought about the movie Little shop of horror. and well this little AU popped up into my head XD rhys discovers jack as a little bulb and now has a very needy and hungry plant monster to look after. i am still trying to think of who the other roles in the movie should be.
