You're so fucked, your team falls like flies in front of you struggling to keep ground against the Phreaks
who are once again stealing more of Moira's dangerous experiments
Maybe you shouldn't have tried this flank with Reaper, maybe you should've thought of a escape route before committing to this
but the fear of Moira getting her hands on you out weighted the risks and you ran head first behind the enemy lines with nothing but your hemoblaster and the half cooked plan of keeping Gabe up while he dealt with them
Well, at least one of you had a plan,
as soon as things turned south he simply grunted a "Scatter" towards you and wraithed away leaving you as bait
Your lungs burned from running and you were pretty sure a bullet at the very least grazed your leg making it hard to run any further
with no other options you limp inside an unlocked lab room, slumping down under a table and praying they wouldn't follow your blood trail here
Hearing multiple footsteps approach you flinch into yourself
hunching down into a small ball you peek from the side of the table, observing as the group runs straight pass the room
you can feel your heart thumping against your chest as the sound grows further and further
Using this opportunity you take a look at your leg
ripping your pants away from the injury and using your sleeves to wipe the overflowing blood away you prepare yourself to what's to come
stuffing your mouth with fabric you bring your blaster close to the wound, after a deep breath you pull the trigger
Pain runs through every nerve in your leg and crawls up your torso, you can't help but let out a muffled scream as your muscles stitches themselves back together
with a ragged breath you look over the new scar, your shaky hands coming up to it to wipe the blood that overflowed from it, as your fingers touch it another pulse of pain runs through you, still tender from your impromptu surgery
Your mind is so occupied by the task at hand you don't pay attention to your surroundings
nor do you hear the big heavy footsteps approach your hiding place, watching you
air catches on your throat as you move your foot testing the range of motion, you take another moment to allow things to settle your watery eyes come back into focus, into the reality you now find yourself
His shadow looms over you, slowly turning you're met with glowing purple spikes mounted on an even bigger man
your eyes go wide, stomach dropping with the impending feeling of doom
was this really less scary than being a lab rat?
lips trembling you try to take in a breath, your cheeks wet with the tears that spilled from your eyes, your shaky hands can barely hold on to your weapon, let alone aim with it
Just as you're coming to terms that the last place you'll ever see is this stupid lab stinking of disinfectant, the hulking mass of metal and muscles gets down on his knee
"Heei, don' cry..." his voice much softer than you expected, snapping you from your doom spiral
"I'm not crying" you clap back without thinking
"Pfftt," his large hand comes close and the man wipes your right cheek "sure, n' what's this ay?"
looking away embarrassed you huff a breath "none of your business.." you mumble thinking that it somehow will help you save face
laughter booms over you, the man looking quite amused with you "Can ye walk? We'a gettin' outta here"
You're suspicious of the Phreak but not having any other options you take his outstretched hand
he supports you as you stand up, shocks of pain still running through your nerves and he seems strangely patient over this
Hazard, you've learned, helps you limp through the hallways, careful to keep up to your pace and always listening for approaching footsteps
sometimes stopping to check corners and allow you to catch your breath
"Thats it, steedy..." he tells you as you force your leg to work
His large hand comes up in front of you stopping you on your tracks, your hand coming up to brace against his arm from the sudden stop and he allows you to rest your weight to his side
bringing his other hand up to his mouth he does the shh motion, straining your ears you hear faint conversation coming from the hallway you were about to turn into
looking over he sees his friends entering the elevator, probably already done taking all the tech they came for
Hazard then guides you to the stair, carefully opening the door to not make noise
Each step you take is hell, leaning on the railing you struggle with fully extending your leg to reach the next step in fear of tearing your wound back open
your nerves are screaming as you force your muscles to obey you, biting your lip you try to keep quiet
"Dont be a bampot, come heah" Hazard says putting his hand around your waist, lifting you off your feet into a princess carry "Ye just reconnected thoss muscles, go easy on 'em"
your arms latch onto his neck in fear, looking down the stairs seem to grow kilometers and you fear tumbling down the stairs
"Don cha worry, aye wont drop ya" he laughs behind your ear, his hot breath sending a different kind of shiver down your spine
his mechanical legs buzz and the mechanisms lower and lift the pistons that stabilize his ankles and knees, his hands cold under your legs and back but his chest still warm on your side
the descend is smooth as if you were walking on leveled ground, you're not sure if he has doing it on purpose or if this was how his legs worked on stairs but it did help calm your fears
you arms loosen now just resting comfortably on his shoulders, one of your hands coming to play with the spikes of his vest absent mindlessly
Reaching the lobby Haz adjusts his hold on you so you're more comfortable
" Wheres yo meetin point?"
"Just some blocks from here, on the train station"
he nods and starts walking there, putting you down not even passing his mind, you enjoy this in comfortable silence, your head resting on his shoulder apparently being all that he needed to know you were fine with this
Nearing the block where the train station is you take a deep breath mentally preparing yourself to having to come down from his arms
softly tapping on his shoulder you call his attention
"I think here's good, it'd be safer if you didn't get any closer now"
"Ye sure ya can walk the rest of tha way?" he asks delicately putting you down, being careful to put your weight on your good leg but still supporting you, almost not wanting to let you go
"I think so" you nod looking at the way you still have to go, already scared of Moira's reaction when she found out you failed. Turning back to him you put on a reassuring smile "You should go back to your friends before they suspect anything too" but you don't move to let him go either
"See you around then" Haz winks and opens a big warm smile, where you can see his fangs poking out, making you smile truthfully
You move first, pulling your hand slowly away from his arm and giving him a small awkward wave before forcing yourself to turn around and start walking
it takes a bit before you hear him move again, you're almost halfway there that you hear his leg's mechanisms activating loudly
turning around he's no longer there
"bye..." you sadly mumble to the empty air, regretting not asking to go with him
Am I misremembering or did the riders start addressing Ruff and Tuff by their names more often after Tuff complained that everything was theirs but nothing was his in the Twinsanity ep of RoB
Premise : You've admired Eren from afar since the start of cadet training, when he's struggling with his ODM gear he asks for your help

Eren wasn't someone one could just ignore, he's loud, emotional and just about someone you could not take your eyes from
you meet him in the first day of cadet training, during dinner Eren was talking about his experience on the fall of Shinganshina for the curious crowd around him
despite him wanting to appear tough you could recognize the hurt in his eyes, the trauma those memories were bringing back to the surface
As the training went on you got to meet the other cadets better, some were cold, others got in way over their heads
in the same day about half left to work on the fields
The ones who were left worked hard to be worth the food you were consuming, the instructors were cutthroat but that seemed to work to keep you in line
soon enough your ODM gear training started, this was the part you honestly were most excited about but this was yet another hurdle, if you failed at this you were out
the gears ticked as you were slowly lifted up, contracting your muscles you focus on balancing
The instructor is giving the signal for them to lower you when a scream cuts through the air, almost causing you to fall over yourself
with your feet back on the ground you twist to see the scene forming around Eren
had he fallen? But Eren is the most determined of all here, surely he'd be fine. Right?
detaching yourself from the rig you rush to the quickly forming crowd, whispers of Eren being kicked to the fields and poorly held back laughter reach your ears, pushing through them you finally get to see Mikasa and Armin helping Eren down
her voice low and her face painted with concern, her lips move but you can't quite discern what's being said the gossip drowning out her words
despite that Eren's face told you everything, the hurt and anger drawn in the pinch of his brows, the way he looked at her before pulling his arm from her grasp as if they just had a fight despite him not saying anything you walk towards him without thinking
"Eren, are you hurt?"
this seems to snap him out "Uh, not really thanks " he attempts a smile but it doesn't quite reach his eyes, such an open book despite his best efforts to hide it
"Then come on," you say grabbing his hand and tugging him back towards the rig "you gotta get back up there, Right?" you offer him a encouraging smile
"Yeah.." now his smile is genuine, and so warm, it almost makes your heart skip a beat
he's so bright, you can't help but be attracted like a moth to a flame, even when there's a scary cat glaring at you for foiling her attempt to keep him away from the front lines
but maybe growing closer with Eren is worth risking Mikasa's wrath
Carefully with Armin's help you set him back on the big ODM simulation contraption, slowly turning the crank Eren is lifted fron the ground
trying not to fall Eren keeps a hand on Armin's shoulder as he goes higher and higher
hearing the last gear click in place you glance at them, seeing the scene you can't help but laugh at what's in front of your eyes, Armin is on his tiptoes stretching as far up as he can while Eren has his arms and legs stretched as far as he can while unable to keep upright, his butt being the highest point since he appears to be dangling from it
the look he gives you upon hearing your giggles is of betrayal like of a cat that you nudged out of the way with your foot, you can't help but burst out laughing at how ridiculous he looks
you and Armin try pushing him upright but it's like he can't hold himself up no matter how hard he's trying
Not long into this circus Instructor Shadis calls out for you, commanding you to go practice some more yourself, your hand squeezes Eren's trying to encourage him
you follow the instructor trying not to feel guilty for leaving your crush behind to struggle
You aren't able to see Eren again until dinner time, Eren has this blank look in his eyes, the gossip of him being kicked out runs rampant and you can't not feel guilty for not helping him earlier
trying to drown out Jean boasting about how great he is and how easy this exercise was you draw your gaze to your food, using the old hard bread crunching at each bite to block the sound of his voice
Making your way back to the dorms you make light conversation with Ymir teasing her about her and Christa, she doesn't even flinch saying they're basically dating already
a tug to the back of your shirt interrupts you, turning around Eren looks at you with his beautiful green eyes, basically begging you without even needing to say a word
"Oohh," Ymir snickers raising her eyebrows and giving you a knowing look "I'll give you two some privacy"
your face heats up immediately and Eren pulls his hand off your shirt as if he's guilty
"N-no wait! Ymir!!"
"It's nothing like that!!"
both of you stammer together, but it does nothing but make her cackle as she walks away
Playing with your sweaty palms you try to act normal "So, what's up Eren?"
"I ah, " he avoids your eyes, escaping with his gaze downwards "I saw that you are really good with the ODM guear, I was hoping you could help me " he finally looks up and somehow the green in his irises are even prettier than before
you look away, fearing that you were staring too much "Yeah, sure meet me at the training grounds in one hour" turning your back you walk to the dorms, the crunch of gravel under your feet being the only sound between you
god dammit Ymir, why did she have to expose you to him like this?? Now you don't know how to act, especially when he looks at you like that
the memory flashes in your mind and you violently shake your head trying to clear your mind
"Are you ok?" he asks concerned
stopping on the doorstep you finally turn towards him again, you try giving him a normal smile "Yeah, see you there" then you rush in trying to calm your beating heart

"Are you ok?" he asks concerned
stopping on the doorstep you finally turn towards him again, you try giving him a normal smile "Yeah, see you there" then you rush in trying to calm your quickly beating heart
With the moon hanging high on the sky you sneak out to your meeting point, where you find Eren already waiting by the rig
"You're here!" he exclaims getting onto his feet
"Did you wait much?"
"Not really. Ready to start?"
pulling Eren by the belt you hook him um on the machine, he lets you maneuver him as you see fit watching as your nimble hands efficiently work on the delicate equipment
"There you go" you straighten back up looking him in the eye "What worked for me was to use my core muscles to balance and use my legs and arms as counterweights but don't rely too much on them
he nods confidently "Ready to go up"
The gears click against each other raising Eren off the ground, his eyebrows scrunch in focus as he wobbles in place, his hands shoot to the sides as his eyes go wide. Rushing forward you catch him just in time stabilizing him back up
"Remember, use your core" you rest your hand on his stomach "Flex these muscles here"
his heart rate spikes up, looking at you Eren tries keeping a straight face and do as you said, as you feel his muscles flex you let go and step back allowing him to balance himself
You spend a couple more hours doing this dance, keeping Eren from flipping over and helping him balance back but it feels almost as if he's literally unable to keep upright
as the sun is already peeking over the horizon Eren once again looses his balance, his hands coming to brace over your shoulders
opening your eyes back up you find yourself just a breath away from Eren's own face
his breath fans over your face and you feel your heart thumping hard against your chest, somehow his eyes are even prettier from up close
it's as if time has frozen in place, your hands come up to his waist barely brushing it but you still feel him shiver under your touch
your lips tremble as Eren brings his face closer and closer to yours, his eyes falling half lidded, his hand coming over to rest on your cheek, you can almost feel the warmth of his lips on yours, a ghost of a touch
Deafening loud bells ring on the watch towers announcing the start of the day
you jump apart from the shock, Eren completely flipping over almost kicking you in the process
"Quick," he whisper shouts "take me down before someone sees"
rushing over you take him down from the rig and set him loose, your body still buzzing from what was just interrupted
as soon as he's free Eren grabs your hand and drags you out of view his warm hand giving you some comfort that maybe there was really something there
The most infuriating part of this whole thing is that even if they bring Valko back they won't address the real problems with the game since their distraction worked
Valko is just the escape goat for the lack of main story, worsening of banner odds, lack of other ways to get diamonds
And we know that they don't want to solve that bc it'll make the game slightly more ftp friendly and what else the global comm is good for if not to shut up and give them money
I've been having these feelings for a while now but with the whole LADS situation things just got to a new level of ridiculous
Like we all know China has one of the biggest player bases of the world and it makes sense companies go for their market too, but at this point they're just bending over backward for the cn community while the whole rest of the world is getting their scraps
It is ridiculous that infold bended over to the cn girlies and decided to delete Valko and give up on any new LI just bc of them. They literally just shot themselves on the foot with this, not only it's proven that with enough of a fuzz cn girlies can get what they want but what will they do with the main story now??
Valko was supposed to reveal things about protocores and expand on both Sylus and Caleb's stories, now we just have a whole chunk of story missing where they'll be filling with duck tape and gum and not even to mention what they had planned for the future since lads was always meant to have six LI (indicated by the protocores in core hunt)
Also it's so infuriating that they spent the last few weeks hyping up and making us care about Valko just to rip him away like this
The global comm seems to largely like him and was excited for his launch but I guess our opinion doesn't matter
And it isn't just Infold that's just completely spineless when it comes to pleasing the cn community, it's been known for so long that things only change in Hoyo games when the cn comm complains, to the point the global comm jokes about asking them to talk to the genshin devs
There's also Punisher not being able to have skulls in his design in Marvel Rivals and the twinkification of Trasher from LOL bc of China's censorship laws
Not to mention Overwatch just giving the cn players 10 mythic skins for the 10th birthday FOR FREE while the rest of the world had that fuckass event with the recolors
Like my anger is not towards the chinese community, I'm really mad at game companies just doing everything for China while treating the global comm like trash, like our opinions don't matter as much and that we should be glad with what we're given and shut up
As if it's not the whole rest of the world
Our opinions should fucking matter and we should be demanding to be listened to and not be treated like the annoying little sibling given the unplugged controller
