Whumpee was kept at as a living weapon in a military type base, after being punished after so many failed missions, they decide to run away. They get at far as they can, before the adrenaline runs out, before the pain is too much, before they give in to their injuries and collapse.
Whumpee in found unconscious by their best friend medic and older brother caretaker, who take them home.
After months of conditioning Whumpee as a hard time adjusting once they've healed from they're wounds, they don't quite realize they're safe. They are expecting to be hurt, and expecting that they're gonna have to hurt others.
They have frequent panic attacks and nightmares of their time with whumper. They're terrified that whumper is going to come back and find them, surely they couldn't get away that easy!?
During their healing, Whumpee has a hard time letting people get close to them, physically and Emotionally. But caretaker, they're older brother, the person they grew up with, he could get close, he was the only one Whumpee would let comfort them after a nightmare, they wouldn't let medic help them unless caretaker was there too.
After some time, Whumper does find them. But this time whumpee isn't alone. They have medic and caretaker, Whumpee is terrified, they think there's no way they could win this fight. But with medic and caretaker by there side, whumpee uses what they learned from they're time with Whumper as a living weapon to take them down. But, whumper doesn't go down without a fight.
After the mess of the battle, whumpee is hysterical, looking around for their brother. Whumpee sees him on the ground, they run over, caretaker is barely breathing, face bloody as whumpee holds him in their arms, afraid, is their brother gone? Memories of the them together flood Whumpee's mind, they cry.
Caretaker looks up at whumpee, one of his eyes is gone, whumpee is scared and sorry, they apologize for everything, for going missing, for getting caretaker involved, for not protecting him better... Caretaker just lifts his arm and touches Whumpee's face, and tells them everything's going to be okay, they don't have to apologize.
Medic comes over as caretaker passes out again. Medic does they're best to comfort whumpee, but they're pretty shaken up, not wanting to leave their brother. But Medic needs to get them to help.
