Brutus is my son
Rogue is co-parented by me and @mai-mai-lim
Cameron stood there with a blank expression, his body kept twitching in slight ways as he watched Henry Stickmin abuse Brutus.
Why? Why would he do this to the double agent? What did he gain from it!?
Brutus cried out in pain as the chief stomped his heel against his shoulder blade, "What. Did I. FUCKING SAY. ABOUT TELLING ANYONE!?"
"I DIDN'T! I SWEAR, I HAVEN'T TOLD A SINGLE PERSON! PLEASE STOP- AAAAH!" The double agent screamed out in pain, he hadn't approached a single person.
He kept his distance with his friends and adoptive family. He did as Henry TOLD HIM TO DO. HE ALWAYS DOES.
The toppat chief growled angrily as he continued to dig his heel into Brutus, "Tch, sure you didn't..." Henry removed his heel from the agent's shoulder blade only to yank him up off the floor and shove him against the wall. "I'm sure your pathetic cyborg 'boyfriend' could confirm that. But I trust my intuition more."
Brutus didn't have a chance to answer as he felt a terrible pressure and tight grip around his throat. Panic took hold of him as he quickly realized that Henry Stickmin was strangling him.
"Guess I'll have to put you in your place again, little agent." The toppat chief scoffed, "I don't really like hurting you...I ENJOY it but it REALLY is a shame that you're approached by my cousin or the others. Makes me wonder how much longer you'll lie...and if you fucking crack?" His grip on Brutus' throat grew tighter, a wicked grin grew along his face just watching the life nearly leave the double agent's eyes.
Then he felt a heavy, cold metal grip on his wrist and a glitching voice spoke up, "PUT. HIM. THE FUCK. DOWN."
Henry Stickmin stared at Cameron in shock as he let go of Brutus who collapsed to the floor gasping for air.
What the hell? HOW!?
Then it clicked, as usual Brutus was a key component to another situation. The government dog of a cyborg cared so much for Brutus that it was IMPOSSIBLE to remove any emotion or feelings from the little shit.
Just as the chief was about to break free from the cyborg's grasp, Cameron began malfunctioning. A scream of anguish escaped his throat as sparks flew from his cybernetics.
"C-CAM!" Brutus pushed himself to go rushing over to the rewired government agent. "IT'S OKAY, I'M FINE! D-DON'T PANIC! PLEASE, TRUST ME! I'LL BE FINE!"
Cam WISHED he could believe that but with what he had seen, he KNOWS what Brutus has been enduring for the past God knows how many fucking days!
WHEN DID HENRY STICKMIN START ABUSING BRUTUS!? HOW COULD HE DO THIS!?
"Brutus..." Henry coldly spoke to the double agent, "from now on, I want you to keep your cyborg freak of a boyfriend OUTSIDE of my office. If this happens again I'll make sure you're covered in injuries that better be well hidden from everyone else."
Brutus quickly scrambled as he hoisted Cameron into his arms, "Y-Yes sir, understood sir!"
"Good, get the fuck out of my sight for the time being." The Toppat chief scoffed as he walked to his desk.
The double agent rushed out of the chief's office with Cameron in his arms struggling around as he malfunctioned.
"C-Cam, I'm so fucking sorry!" Brutus sobbed, "IF YOU HADN'T FUCKING MET ME NONE OF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED TO YOU! IT'S ALL MY FAULT!"
Fighting through the pain and malfunction, the government agent brought a hand to the double agent's face. "I-It's o-o-okay. N-Not..your..f-fault. I'm..s-so lucky to h-have...met you."
Brutus hiccupped as he leaned into Cameron's touch, "Fucking hell Cam, just...don't do that again. I know you want to protect me but that's not possible. I'm so sorry."
