The Black Mesa Prison Break AU
Welcome to the reason this Sideblog exists, my AU cause I’ve fallen, way to far.
First off we have Notable Differences:
- not a game
- benry WILL live to the end and beyond
-no resonance cascade
- everyone is one of Black Mesa's experiments
Now, Character Lineups: Gordos Feetman! Recently hit rock bottom trans man, he lost his right arm to a car crash and his son to his parents following a breakdown. He's picked as the unwitting test subject for the limb regrowth potion. When he wakes up from the pain nap and sees his arm is a gun he freaks the fuck out and it goes off, freeing... (Powers include: Gun.)
Bubby! An experiment into raising spare scientists from adulthood and cutting out the child stage all together. With some funky powers to make him more durable, even more feral then cannon. (Powers include: Pyrokenisis, Immunity to Fire and a moderate boost of strength)
Dr. Coomer! Not actually a doctor he just likes to say that. Had to drop out of collage after his ex wife took everything he had. Fell into debt and signed his life away to black Mesa. Legally declared dead. Still super upbeat. Is even stronger now, do not let him pat you on the back you'll go flying. Enhancements left a little brain damage so now he repeats shit a lot (Powers include: Super strength in all limbs, ability to extend arms. Extremely smart, Immunity to electicity)
Tommy! Half human half.... something else. Was found in an orphanage at the age of 7 after he brought his dog back to life, apparently immortal, and made a man vanish from existence for beating it to death in the first place. Incredibly powerful, very little control because he's kept too sedated to learn best friends with... (Powers include: Reality warp, levitation, Black Mesa Sweet Voice, Intuitive understanding of all language. Being a Good Boi:tm:)
Benry! Born to two black Mesa employees and given up to the company, Benry's experiment predates Bubby but ultimately they kept him to see what their fiddling had done. Along with what Black Mesa did to him expositor to Tommy since he was small has given him some funky abilities. Black Mesa Sweet Voice started with him and the organ that lets him do that was surgically implanted in a bunch of other people. He's still got the helmet. The only thing his parents left for him (Powers include: Intangibility, Black Mesa Sweet Voice, Minor strength increase. Immunity to Fire and Electricity. Skeletons.) G-Man! Tommy’s Something Else parent. Left him at the orphanage because he didn’t think he was capable of raising him. Regrets that he missed out on Tommy’s life, Only features for the end and past that. (Reality Warp.)
Sunkist! Tommy’s Pubby! Escaped when Tommy was still little and learned they were going to try and cut her open, distress activated his powers and let her escape. Has been trying to figure out a way to rescue him since. (Being the Perfect Dog, Black Mesa Sweet Voice, Immortality)
Now we’re onto! Key Events: Gordon is kidnapped after hitting his lowest point, seen as someone no one will miss and already missing a limb. Gets antiquated with the Science Team who are all in the same lab sector. Benry makes the Passport Joke.
Gordon drinks the potion and wakes up with a gun attached to his arm, panics and ends up killing the scientists around him and freeing the others The group agrees to escape together, except Benry never actually says he wants to leave he just follows. Tommy ends up shaking off the last of the sedation and straight up wills a man out of existence. Tommy’s powers end up out of control in a shootout and Benry has to calm him down. This happens multiple times. Gordon’s gun ends up falling apart, leaving his stump badly burned and him severely weakened. The Team Don’t Abandon him since he’s dragged their asses this far to safety. Benry starts getting antsy about leaving. Their almost out when Benry has a panic attack and ends up lashing out with all his powers, including ones he ended up picking up from the once again unsedated Tommy. When the battle is over Gordon and Tommy refuse to leave him behind just cause he was scared. Gordon carries him.
G-Man finds them in the desert, and rescues them all because he still feels bad about loosing Tommy. They don’t have to worry about Black Mesa Anymore
Post Breakout Stuff:
It takes a while to reality bend Tommy, Benry and Bubby into legal existence, Much less time to reality bend Coomer back to life though, While they wait on that the group lives with Gordon, and by the time its done their all used to being around each other so they just, move into a bigger house
Gordon gets Joshie back! The Science Team Helped.
Gordon’s new prosthetic is a group effort, it works a shitton better then his old one. Its got an assassins creed style blade in it. Benry insisted.
They get to relax because Black Mesa suddenly is a lot less real for everyone else. Other Details: There is a lot of being carried in this au. I like people carrying others. Benry’s completely pronoun indifferent and doesn’t really think about gender to much
Tommy’s a demiboy because I thought it was funny if the demigod was demigender
Bubby’s last name ends up being Sharp. He was put on the spot.
Tommy/Gordon/Benry is the main ship in this thing.
Frozon is the man who ended up kidnapping Gordon and later was the man Tommy unexistified. He had a similar past to Benry but was raised in another lab sector. The way Tommy’s freakouts work is Reality just starts to go Wrong. Basically, imagine if during an overstim episode, things began to glitch and warp and actually go as wrong as you see them, throw in some eldrich flavoring and anyone who isn't a safe person basically having their hearts exploded if they get to close, and you have Tommy's freakouts
And thats all the important shit. Feel free to badger me with questions I am literally dying for it.
