happy 7th anniversary to WD2! and also happy 7th anniversary to the arrest of my guy Dušan lol
post is chris’s own post (the actor of Dušan)
E28 Dusan nemec x fem reader? Pretty please?
Fandom: Watch Dogs
A/N: I hope you like it!!
Warnings: a fight
Word count: 482
Prompt: E28. Admitting something
You always believed Dušan would never hide anything from you - you loved him more than anyone in the whole world, and you felt so lucky that you’ve found him.
But finding out disturbing facts about his business - what Blume and CTOS really did, collecting private information from people and always having a huge risk for it to fall into wrong hands, which would make the city a mess - was a tough thing to swallow. And Dušan didn’t even admit it at first.
“Y/N, listen to me. CTOS is the safest system possible, hackers won’t get in. The police is immediately alarmed if…. DedSec, for example, tries to penetrate it.”
You scoffed, showing him a screenshot from a video of a hacker sneaking around in a Blume’s building, distracting guards by making their headset malfunction and sending text messages. “What’s this then?”
“It’s…” he pursed his lips, knowing very well you’d see right through his lies. “All right, that’s a DedSec member, but we know who he is. We can catch him.”
“If he’s skillful enough to attack the system, why wouldn’t there be others?” you laid the picture back to the table, still trying to process that CTOS could actually put the whole city upside down - cars malfunctioning, driving over people and to the sea, making false alarms to the police, distracting them from real crimes… the system was dangerous.
“Because if we catch Marcus, we can force him to tell us their methods - and we’ll improve CTOS that way so hackers wouldn’t get in ever again.” he sounded frustrated, speaking quickly and his voice rising momentarily with some words.
“I can’t believe you’re still running the system even when you can clearly see it’s not safe enough.” you averted your eyes to the floor from the picture. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because it’s none of your business!” he shouted, his frustration finally getting hold of him and you staggered back, turning your back to him. He was scared himself too, knowing that maintaining such system which was unsafe and collecting private information from people was against the law too. If he was caught, his whole life would be ruined. But he had too much money in it, he couldn’t pull it back, couldn’t give up.
But now when you had found out, was he choosing his company and money over you? You didn’t approve it. He pondered a bit and approached you, rubbing your arms from behind.
“I assure everything will be alright.” he muttered and you turned to face him. “I’ll talk about this in a meeting tomorrow.”
You smiled in relief, and Dušan felt a squeeze of guilt in his chest. It was a lie to protect you. He cared too much to let you go, but too little to get rid of his company. He just couldn’t help but hope that you’d see that one day.
I don't know who drew this (credit to the unknown art college fella) but let's admit it, the dude looks like Dusan Nemec
dusan participates in illegal mermaid hunting :pensive:
shit got long again i’m sorry
--
i mean, yeah? he definitely would like. the bitch loves havin’ expensive things and having power and things in that vein. so YA. mermaids exist, and have rights (not as many rights as humans because god forbid. the human race can barely give equal rights to people with different skin colors, much less people with fins and scales)
and they have the right to not be hunted cuz they’re semi-human at least. they’re sentient and deserve that kindness according to most governments (altho let’s be real America’s Mermaid Hunting Laws would be incredibly lenient and thinly defined specifically for this reason)
so ofc Dusan needs a mermaid. a pretty one (however u define pretty or however you think Dusan would define pretty w/e)
he does his research. makes a big, but quiet, deal of it. he hires a boat and a more neutral-type Mermaid Scientist or w/e they’d be called, right. someone who won’t blab for the right price
Dusan has an aquarium all set up at home already. massive. spans like. the entire wall of his open floor plan kitchen/living room and covers all the windows and reaches out a fair bit so she’ll have space. because really, what are mermaids to Dusan but glorified, expensive fish with pretty faces?
it takes a while. about two months of just prowling the oceans, because by now Mermaids know what types of boats to avoid, and what types are okay to swim around
but after two months of Dusan’s ship not being, yknow, particularly threatening... the braver merfolk start comin’ out of hiding and investigating. first at night, and just poking their eyes above water to observe
and then one makes a mistake, thinking that there is No Way humans would be up so early and she swims right up to the ship and is just peering cutely over the side
it’s so easy that Dusan almost hates her for it when he and the scientist trap her in his net. like it’s pitifully easy and he’s nearly tempted to throw her ass back into the ocean and relocate to try again. but she’s so...
pretty
he hates it. he hates seeing a pretty human face on a glorified fucking fish.
he’s keeping her. of course he is
EDIT: also after he catches the first one, he gets an itch. an obsession. and he catches, kills, taxidermys (so basically stuffs?? eugh), and hangs several merfolk on his walls.
some are full mermaids, and it's very off putting and off setting to see a half human on a wall. and some are just the lower halves he found absolutely stunning.
the man is... kind of creepy, let's be real here.
Bonus: manbun becomes bunbun
dusan nemec, but as a supervillain. what powers would he have, where would his base be, how would he keep his secret identity if he has on, what would his super suit look like, etc.
hmmmmmm..... this is a good ask! well... let's see. long as usual so i tried to cut it under a read more (but u know mobile tumblr doesnt WORK so im sorry)
his secret identity. he keeps it secret really well, just because he's got a real good poker face and he also doesnt attack, like, places that can be traced back to him. (the exception is the DedSec hq, assuming in this au theyre the superheroes in parallel to him)
but the hq thing is covered by the fact that there ARE a lot of anti-dedsec people ANYWAY (bc there's always gotta be a few ppl who just hate the heroes). but also hacking is a commonplace thing nowadays and in the WD universe (and consequently this au), hacking is just... Insanely Huge? everyone and their mom seems to be a hacker, so if electronic fuckery happens, it's not GUARANTEED to be his fault ya know?
(also he has like... super enhanced intelligence as a ..power (see below) so like, it's not hard for him to come up w excuses or be tactical about when he does his Villainous Shit)
[ALSOOOOO -im writing this after ive written almost everything else sry- he doesn't like..... reveal he has powers. to the world, Dusan Nemec is just an incredibly good coder and he's just got a genius intellect. but his Villain flaunts his powers and takes pride in what he can do.
so it's like "Well, Dusan, do what that villain did" and Dusan sits down and like, painstakingly writes line after line of code to try and mimic the effects of his technopathy but he can't do everything technopathy can. so it's really hard to pin it on him. ppl still suspect though. they always suspect.]
--
POWERSSSSSSSS. i was gonna save this for last but then i realized: his primary power is technology manipulation. the good guys with this power would be technopaths, but he LIKES the phrase 'technology manipulation' because Dusan likes to be able to manipulate things... people... technology... to do whatever he wants.
so like before he came into his power of technopathy, he was still really, really good with coding. he'd never admit to having hacked things before working w ctos, but he has. and then... [insert backstory here] and now he can bypass the need to code and just ... MAKE ctos respond to him. he can pull up any surveillance cam at will, he can access any file remotely (we will address this in the Super Suit section), he can hack the traffic lights, he can just... do anything.
and w his personality, THAT is what makes him a supervillain.
if you don't have ctos or blume devices in your house, he bypasses ALL of it and forces Blume and ctos software to install. hell, your sexy Samsung smart fridge? literally now it's just been forcefully turned into a Blume fridge. w his remote access he can just turn any phone he passes into a ctos phone. like only another technopath (DedSec - technopathy would be one of the biggest requirements to get into the core of DedSec) can prevent Dusan's abilities from infecting and destroying and essentially controlling their technology.
he also has slightly superpowered intellect. which i think is a stupid ability but also i'm giving it to him anyway cuz he's considered a genius within the wd universe. so why not throw in the fact that his mind itself, aside from technopathy, has been quite altered and has significantly more improved functioning than the rest of us.
and lastly he does have an Eidetic memory. which isn't rly a superpower by itself but in combination w superpowered intellect and technopathy makes it an asset to his power set, ya know?
he can and will remember exactly who has ctos installed, who doesnt, if he had to do it or if they were willing, etc.
and he definitely remembers every little tidbit he finds abt DedSec
--
ok so since we've established he's a technopath now, and we know there are weird basement levels of Blume's HQ, at least 3 rooms are just HIS to use. like no one, not even another technopath, can access them. just bc he has Blume HQ fortified to the nines. i mean DedSec could probably TRY and maybe succeed at getting into Blume HQ itself but like, they won't get into his underground base.
like no one knows that three rooms off of the server rooms are even... there? he's got sexy hidden doors. like false servers?? where to the eye they look and glow and flicker like proper servers but they're secret doors. legit no one knows they EXIST much less how to GET TO THEM. his HQ is, like, solid af
--
super suit. ok like the main thing is he has a helmet. like.... a fitted full head helmet w tinted tempered glass in the screen. it's all black on the outside, and like nice cushy fuckin memory foam on the inside (sleek and black too ofc) and the visor is also a computer. (remote access!)
his base outfit is a black fitted body suit that is also, like, technologically fitted?
i just want it to be glowy ok?? he also has it programmed so that when he uses his technopath abilities and channels them thru his hands, his finger tips light up bc he's just That Bitch.
in theory his helmet visor/screen could emote like Wrench's mask
over his body suit, he has like. ok bear with me but like. skinny black sweats? they're not super tight or super loose. they sit low on his hips and end mid calf. i love Dusan and i love his sweats ok. he wears them always i'm trash.
also he's stupid and has shoes build into his body suit basically? like they're really nice and have good support and they're just... part of the body suit.
no he does not wear anything over the top of his bodysuit. also obvs the body suit is like, from his chin to his toes, w long sleeves and gloves as well.
his glowy bits are like, sleet and soft grey.
it's gotta be weird cramming his dumb beard into his suit and helmet but he does it. for fashion and to give away as little as possible in regards to his identity.
oo also he has like a speaker in his helmet that works as a voice scrambler. so it's like. even harder to trace to him, and w his technopathy he can change the scrambler at will.
like deadass one time he attacks DedSec he makes his voice scrambler sound EXACTLY like Wrench and it's shaking.
he doesn’t have any visible logos, just cool tech-y lines down his sides, arms, and legs. probably his back too? by tech-y lines i mean the kind you see on microchips and stuff.
--
ok let's talk abt weaknesses bc i rambled abt how GOOD his technopathy is.
but bc of his superior intellect, and just based on canon stuff, Dusan is... like the ULTIMATE stereotyped villain in that he just... loves to Monologue.
so it's easy to drop a virus into his system if you just keep him talking.
like say he's showin down w DedSec and he has all but Marcus tied up and he's gettin ready to kill Marcus but Marcus gets him monologuing so, like, Wrench can use his own technopathy to manipulate a virus into Dusan's suit.
the thing is, Dusan is aware 99% of the time. he's aware of his suit's system. he's aware of how his system connects back to Blume HQ and his private offices off the server room. he's aware 99% of the time of everything
but when Marcus fucking Holloway plays dumb as a box of rocks, Dusan Nemec canNOT help but mockingly explain things to him. and Marcus is used to ppl thinking lesser of him, so it's really easy to play it up until...
WELL, YA KNOW???
n Marcus fucking BOOKS IT to save DedSec while all sort of DS imagery is popping up on Dusan’s visor screen and Ode to Joy but, ya know, the DedSec version all loud and violent, is BLARING into his ears and he cant THINK and he’s scrambling and by the time he can get his brain to focus and force out the virus, DedSec is gone
(he never learns, either. but sometimes it’s Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture or some shit. it’s always a different violent crescendo of a classical song, ok? he never ever learns but he comes to DESPISE classical music.)
that’s like, his biggest weakness. he can’t help but, well, mansplain when he thinks he’s better than everyone in the room (which is always) and someone asks a stupid question. he’s such a jerk in canon, and this au/concept makes it worse bc he has like, veritable proof that his brain is more capable than others.

and, for the grand finale of this answer, Dusan Nemec’s Super Villain name...
i have NO FUCKING CLUE. here are some options:
the Coder, the Hacker, MicroGhost??? bc he like... can come and go like a ghost??? microchip, fantasy name gen just gave me Incognito which is so stupid i love it??? idk give me suggestions.
tysm for the ASK. let’s get back on this DUSAN SHIT
something Dusan with number 4...
Send me a Ship and a Number and I will Write a Kiss
4. …where it hurts.
let’s have some dusan/reader maybe?
“What on Earth have you gotten yourself into now, Nemec?” Dusan Nemec averts his gaze at your tone and use of his last name, not particularly wanting to meet your eyes.
You pause in your search for neosporin to look at your boyfriend in exasperation. Because really? He does some stupid shit like actually meeting a member of DedSec and setting up a cop bust on him, and he expects you to just accept it when he comes home with a busted lip and a black eye.
“Dusan,” you say, and he looks back up at you. “You’re such an idiot.”
He sneers, and then winces as it tugs on the split in his lip. “I do what I have to do,” he tells you. “You know that.”
Your hands clench around the first aid kit for a moment before you let it go and face him, eyes narrowed in such a scowl that a lesser man might have been intimidated.
“You have to be an idiot? You have to, to, to entertain these hackers? You have to put yourself at risk?” He opens his mouth to argue and you cut him off, “No! You don’t have an explanation for this, Dusan! You’re playing their stupid little games and a punch is going to be the least of it at the end!”
When you’re done, Dusan raises his eyebrows. “Feel better?” he asked in that almost patronizing tone he has perfected. “I’m not playing any games. I’m going to topple DedSec, and if I have a little fun doing it there isn’t any harm.”
You stare very pointedly at his bloodied lip and blossoming black eye. “No harm, huh?” you snark.
“If you’re so worried,” Dusan says, “then patch me up.” Oh, you really could smack the smirk right off of his face but that would defeat the purpose of trying to patch him up in the first place. “Better yet… Maybe you should kiss it better.”
Almost instantly, you scoff. “What are you, five years old?”
The pout on his face would be believable if he wasn’t, well, Dusan fucking Nemec and you didn’t live with him and deal with his shit every single day.
“You can’t even give me a single kiss better instead of yelling at me?” he whines.
This man… “You deserve more than being yelled at,” you inform him as you step between his knees. “Where does it hurt, stupid?”
“Here,” he says smartly, tapping his mouth.
“I see.”
“I’m afraid it’s quite urgent. If it’s not kissed better soon, the patient might not make it.”
You roll your eyes. “You’re really something, you know that?”
Before he can answer, you do as you’re asked and kiss him where it hurts.
