Victor Gideon x Cobra mutant reader IV
Welcome to the good ending! Also the final part to this until I get accepted into ao3 for certain parts of the story-
Edit: IM GONNA DO I THINK TWO MORE CHAPTERS- one will be in victors perspective and it’s all mainly fluff and how you act more like a snake than you admit- and the final chapter is basically continuation of this
CW: blood, death, slight gore
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You were in Elpis. It’s yellowish orange glowing lights all over. You watched Zeno throw hits at Leon while grace stopped him. Inputting the password for Elpis, you tilt your head seeing Grace pull out a vial it was a yellow liquid.”it isn’t what you think-“ you watch grace stumble while Zeno moves to grab a vial before turning to Leon, grace tries to step in.”Well Mr. Kennedy you will get to witness me at full power!” Zeno starts to stumble as he groans.
“My powers?! What’s happening-“ you watched zeno groan while grace spoke up.”it’s an antiviral! It’s Spencer’s atonement!” You watch Zeno hurry over to you looking you in the eyes as if he were thinking. His grip on your shoulders tight while he removes a shot from his coat. Your eyes widen shaking your head,”Zeno please no- I don’t want to do that.” Zeno shut his eyes tightly and before he injected it into you he shattered it against the ground. He kept his gaze away from you,”Damn you.. you make me weak (y/n).” You smiled softly while Zeno kept his gaze away he was still going to kill Leon but before he could do anything Victor stepped on to the platform laughing softly.
“I am humbled by my masters genius-“ he spoke softly while Zeno growled. You watched Zeno storm over stumbling over himself.”everything was a lie! There is no weapon, you have wasted my time!” Zeno growled out while Victor shook his head,”Spencer’s research was incomplete, don’t you see the genius?! He gave us ANARCHY! I will carry his torch and continue his legacy.” Victor shouted while Zeno looked at him in disbelief.”You? Ha.. you and spencer were a means to an end! He defied us and paid with his life. He was nothing!” He shouted while Victor glared,”You are nothing but an IMITATION!” Victor shouted while Zeno slightly backed up before growling.”It’s over Victor, the connections is done with you-!” Your hood spread in shock as you watched victors missing arm turn into a long tentacle with mini arms attached. Watching him slice Zeno’s head clean off his body.
You ran over to Zeno’s body lightly placing your hands on it. Heart racing while Victor walked past you. He inputted something into the console while grabbing a vial of the antidote. You managed to snag one being quick about it.”Now let it all come down… ALL of it.” All four of you stumbled as the platform began to shift and slowly crash forcing all of you to fall. You landed beside Grace and tried checking her pulse seeing she was fine. You ran over seeing Leon and Victor fighting. Victor’s words slurring and becoming less tangible. You do your best to help Leon by tossing any ammo or injection you could find. You don’t want Victor to die you just need to figure something out. You watched in horror as Gideons body began to transform as he yelled and screamed before falling back off a drop. He reemerged as a giant deformed monster, your heart dropping. You have no idea if you can truly save him.
After Leon placed a final blow Victor’s monstrous body collapsed. You nodded your head to Leon watching him head to Grace. You, as gracefully as you could, made your way down to victors mutated body. Trying to find a way. You pulled the antidote from your pocket, your hood slightly lowering back behind your ears. You were going to use this on you but.. if it gave you any possibility to bring victor back and maybe normal it’d be worth the sacrifice. You stuck the injector into the head of the beast. Losing hope when nothing happened, your hands slip down to your sides. You slightly jump seeing the corpse shake and slightly melt. You notice a hand slightly shoot out of the disgusting fleshy goo. Your heart pounded stepping on the corpse ignoring the disgusting squelch beneath your boot.
You grabbed the slightly pale hand pulling it easily with your strength. A familiar body revealing itself, he looked more human now. Normal, besides the scar that went from victors chin and down his body, the cracks and scales became scars instead. You place him on the ground as he grips at it coughing up some gory substance.”Victor?” You see him looking at his hands and body before looking up at you. His sclera was a normal white now while his irises were still a yellow. He noticed the empty injector into your hand.”you.. you used it on me? Even if you didn’t know if it’d work? Even if it meant you’d be stuck mutated?” You crouch down in front of him, he still towered over you but you managed to reach up, placing your hands on his face.”I care Victor Gideon. You insane bastard. Now let’s get out of here before more trouble comes..” you help him up resting one of his arms around your shoulder as you walked off to find some form of exit. Pushing debris out of the way you managed to get you both out of there. There were still a few lickers roaming around but it’s nothing you couldn’t handle. Once out of the facility you find a rundown car and shove him into the passenger ignoring the groan he let out. You get in the drivers seat trying to spark the wires to get the car running.
Once the car started running you drove away once you noticed helicopters coming to save Grace and Leon, you sighed pleased. About an hour into the drive Victor finally speaks up,”I assume you aren’t exactly pleased with me.” You slowly turn your head towards him with an unamused face.”right.” Victor smoothed back his hair. He looked out the car window,”Where are we going?” You fiddled with the radio before looking back up.”a small town. Zeno had gave me a home there for whenever I didn’t have missions but it was rare- hardly anyone knows me so this will be good for us.” You watch Victor nod watching him lick his lips, his tongue was still split, he cleared his throat.”I.. I wanted to apologize about the killing Zeno thing.” You shook your head,”Don’t. I rather not think of it. You both had it coming but only one of you made it out alive.”
By the time you made it to the small town you disposed of the rundown car, opting to have you and Victor walk to your home. You had to help him a majority of the way due to him still healing. Once you arrived you lifted a vase that had some flowers growing in it. Grabbing a key and unlocking the door, you let Victor enter before you before following behind him. He looks around your living room, it had a vintage/hippie Esq style and other parts of it that he had heard of called whimsigoth, he did have youthful patients at the center and they would always ramble on about aesthetics, he didn’t care to listen much. He found it odd how your home style was so different from your clothing. Unless you just wore the clothes you currently had for missions and stuff.
You lead him to the couch having him sit on the slightly dusty couch.”My apologies. Again I haven’t been here in a while due to missions.” You notice him from the corner of your eye nod while still observing while you made tea.”so… what is your plan (y/n)..?” You gave Victor his tea while you sat beside him.”We will live a normal life. Now that you are normal I’ll get you a job with something more in your field here-“ Victor spoke up apologizing for interrupting you.”What about you? You are still mutated how would the people of this town react?” You tilt your head after hearing victors question.”I have crocheted bohos. I like buying from the small shops here. Plus makeup and some long gloves can cover the scales and cracks etc etc. I already technically have a job here that Zeno had assigned me. A funeral director so no one questioned my clothing taste.” You see him look at you, eyeing your outfit and then your face.”what?” You tilt your head quirking an eyebrow.”I never pictured you as a funeral director..” you just shrugged looking annoyed for a split second before walking into the kitchen to start on some form of dinner. Finding pasta noodles and some marinara sauce you begin that.”I’ll try and get you a job as a mortician. You seem good at that.. but no creepy behavior or stealing organs and stuff- we have to lay low. Mainly you because of the fact of.. well? Everything. For me, it’s cuz I’m still considered a bio weapon.”
You started to strain the pasta listening to Victor groan.”don’t be a child. You are literally 54-“ you watched Victor squint his eyes at you while you gave him a plate of food.
As time passed by, it had already been one year. You wore your turtle necks, and whatever pants you felt like wearing. On top of that you had to wear your gloves again. Some nice fabric ones that Zeno had gotten you previously. You kept on your crocheted boho, always tying it behind your head. The longer you were in this small town people began to adore you and the help you’ve done. You even managed to get Victor some positive interaction. He worked in your building as a mortician, it fit him of course. Everything seemed smooth so far. The closest you’ve felt with normalcy especially with Victor.
