Hey it's 6am and i can't sleep so here's some weird au i've been able to think up;
Stasis room au (hear me out on this)
You know how gman made Adrian Shepard a plane room for his stasis sleep? Well i thought up that creating two rooms for both Gordon and Shepard would be unnecessary and frankly exhausting- So what if gman just put them both on the plane?
Like Adrian get thrown on the plane and after just yeeting his mask across the room Gordon gets teleported there
At first Gordon definitely wouldn't trust Shepard, because he's dress up like a fucking marine but after a while they would start talking (er signing- if this gordon was the og HL one)
Now when they start talking is completely different whether the gordon was HL gordon or Hlvrai gordon. Now don't get me wrong i know- the story of the original half life games but gordon as a character isn't really something. I mean there's not really a character their, he's a template for the player.
Now Hlvrai gordon would have an even harder time coping with the fact he just got placed in with a fucking military personal- I mean he would probably feel like the lights were going to cut out and just cut off his hand at any moment.
He would probably stand in the doorway of the cockpit staring at adrian for a whole day before even saying anything to him, hold his wrist the entire time.
