New AU just dropped guys!!!! Roles reversed + spoilers for the show/comic + more sad then cannon + Cecil get bullied + Donald is still the goat.
What if Cecil never recovered from the accident?
New story or you can skip to the bottom for the moments and new dynamic
After the gas attack and Radcliffe recovers Cecil he can’t get over what happened, what happened to him and his body. He’s already more unstable and Radcliffe demotes him down to a desk jockey as he recovers for his next mission. During the raid Cecil’s instincts kicked in a he still ended up killing the two terrorists and the creature as well in the hall with a wide spray of bullets. With out knowing it on the other side of the hall was Radcliffe and Donald. two stray bullets hit both Donald in the eye and Radcliffein the lungs. Cecil broke down crying in the same hall unable to move after he saw Radcliffe down on the floor bleeding and choking on his own blood. Fortunately Brit was there to get him back up and take Cecil out. Donald was able to get back up but had to leave Radcliffe behind as a fire had broken out down the hall with all there top scientists still inside. Donald had saved the last few staff member but tried to go back for Radcliffes body. The building at that point exploded and Donald was caught in the explosion. In the after math Donald was rebuild on behalf of his effort and was per set by Radcliffe to be the next director. Donald decided to keep his one eye as fully robotic as for easy reading for digital files and to come to terms with his new robotic body. As for Cecil he faced a small stint in jail then in a psych ward. In the ward he spent a lot of his time in the goo bath so much so he was able to hold his breath for long periods of time so he can remain under the goo for longer as the effects of the goo have a natural relaxation feeling and slight euphoric felling. But he’s forever haunted on Radcliffe death and Donald’s near death. He never knew that Donald was alive until he saw him as director. Once he was cleared he was put on as Donald’s assistant. Although this Donald is much different now. He’s hardened by that day and his new position. His grudge for Cecil is only thinly vailed as he pushes Cecil to do menial tasks for him and to face being the office fetch dog, effectively socially demoting him. But Donald will never not say that Cecil is a bad assistant or stupid. Cecil is still highly trained and provides good input and is soon cleared for field missions again. but he’s more reserved and more timid in nature he won’t stand up for him self unless he knows he could win. He now works in a tank of goo as it makes him more productive and people walk by him working like his an animal in a cage. Donald now calls him Bubbles or guppy. He’s still the one who killed Radcliffe. He’s still a monster to everyone.
New personality/ behaviours /moments
Donald is a still a nice person and is often quite friendly but his attitude to Cecil is very noticeable.
Cecil nickname is plastered on everything that’s handed to him. Other people call him bubbles and he hates it but dosent when Donald calls him that.
Donald will tell Cecil to go get papers that don’t exist to make him run around the GDA building.
Cecil has to change into his clothes everytime he leaves/enters his tank as he just swims with his tank top and short over his boxers.
Donald will occasionally work next to Cecil’s tank and has tried to walk to Cecil’s desk but ends up hitting the tank wall face first.
Donald and Cecil talk through the wall easy enough when there both next to the wall as Cecil can read lips But Donald can’t so Cecil writes on a white board,.. so why dose donald keep looking at Cecil’s still lips? 👀
Cecil is still a good field operative and on many times every time he gets injured, even just a cut Donald immediately teleports him back saying he’s “out of his prime and he should never put him out on field” while wrapping his wounds and treating him.
Cecil will eat right at the edge of his tank and Donald will occasionally scare him making him spill his food and fall in the goo.
Cecil trains new operatives before his reputation gets to the new guys. He’s always trying to clean up his reputation but Donald will always yell out bubbles when the new guy is around and Cecil will begrudgingly go to Donald.
Donald has gray hairs around his sides and temples while Cecil has a full head of silver now and Donald will not let that go
Please don’t point out the spelling or grammar mistakes guys this was all done in a hour
