I like this idea- it's kinda like the rougue vlad au, but more dark... he could still hate jack in this too fit the accident, but being pronounced dead is def a better reason for not visiting so maybe not
Thank you so much!
I admit, I was heavily inspired by the artwork I’ve seen for Rogue Vlad, though I didn’t read anything for it until last night after I posted all that I had for Capitol Captivity. Didn’t want to risk it being too similar.
It is indeed much darker (a tendency between @thornfield13713 and I, we make our favorites suffer), though I do give them a way out and thankfully Danny is mostly spared from what Six has gone through. The major key here is that...4601 does not remember most of his old life. Well, he did, but over twenty years he’s imagined and thought about things and dreamed and now...he can’t tell what was a dream and what was a memory. He doesn’t respond to Vlad because the GiW never called him that, he’s been subject 4601 for a very long time. It isn’t until Danny shortens that to “Six” as a sort of nickname that he starts to remember how to be human.
The first few months of his captivity, yes Vlad was angry. He blamed Jack for the accident, but by the end of the first year, he lost his anger in despair of his situation. He just wanted out. By the time Danny arrives, Six has pretty much had his identity thrown out, and has resigned himself to existing like this until the GiW finally kill him.
After they get out, thanks to a bunch of things aligning that makes escape possible, Six starts remembering a few things, the Packers, movies (specifically Star Wars), who the President was when he was captured, that sort of thing. Nothing personal though, like who his family was or what he was doing with life.
Jack and Maddie do eventually discover Six, because well, it was very hard to hide him and keep hiding him after they got out. (Six mostly hide at Tucker’s place the first few weeks.) After a while when they think it’s safe to take Six out to the mall in his human form to go shopping for him, Jack sees and cannot believe his eyes...
