October is almost here!! Any idea what the mercs would dress up as to celebrate halloween?
Love your writing :D
TF2 Mercs Halloween Costumes!
————————————————————
I'm gonna cry I love Halloween and I'm also really glad you like my writing 😭
Mutual appreciation comment: Thank you for such a fun request and thank you for being a mutual, ily 💖
————————————————————
I tried super hard to come up with originals ones and not like opt out into easy costumes, I sorted through many a costumes and my god some were so bad.
————————————————————
Demo dresses up as the Grim Reaper and doesn't hold back on making his costume as scary as he can. Like this man is going to make at least one kid piss themselves. His costume gives people (Scout) Nightmares. It's even scarier/funnier when he gets drunk and starts stumbling around and groaning, looks like he's about to actually harvest someone's soul. The other mercs end up having to carry him home, and apologizing to multiple angry parents, Demo is only allowed to wear less scary costumes or at least not get wasted while wearing a scary one.
————————————————————
Engie and Pyro have to go together, I'd be so wrong not to put them down as having a duos costume. Kronk and Yzma, please it's such a funny concept to have Engie as an evil (semi) mastermind and Pyro as a well meaning but slightly dumb sidekick. I just love this idea so much. Their so silly going trick or treating together, people are a little freaked out by them but it's all in good fun I'm sure. If anyone dares say anything about them being "to old." there will be hell to pay from Engie.
————————————————————
Heavy is Michaels Myers, I just think this fits so well? Like? I don't know how to elaborate on this one other than the fact that he'd play the part so well. Also, if we're talking about the fear factor like we did with Demo, and costume this man wears is terrifying everyone, it just so happens that dressing up as Michael Myers yielded the most terrifying reaction. Made kids cry, felt bad about it, probably went back to the base after that happened, or just took off the mask. Gets made fun of for this for at least a month afterwards.
————————————————————
I have rewrote this for Medic at least six times now. I want this man to dress up as a nurse so bad it's not even funny. I'm going feral over here guys, I'm using all my restraint to not go into graphic detail about Medic being a nurse for Halloween. But for this prompt I will attempt to be a normal and sane human being, and go with an almost cliché, I think he'd be a plague doctor for Halloween. He loves his job, what can I say, of course it'd transition over to his Halloween costume. I think he'd also just like the look of it, and it doesn't help that this man is a history nerd who was obsessed with the plague. Dresses up Archimedes as a tiny plague doctor so he can take him with, introduces Archimedes as his assistant. Also manages to get the bird head tilt thing on point and pull that move every so often to freak people out.
————————————————————
Scout is going as Beetlejuice. I think he'd be able to act as gross and silly as Beetlejuice. ALSO kind of obscure but not really, in an episode of The Amazing World of Gumball, Gumball dresses up as Beetlejuice while scamming the entire city of candy and I honestly saw that and though, oh yeah scout would do that. Like my man manages to get as much candy as he possibly can, he is ruthless. Accidently uses semipermanent hair dye instead of the washout stuff and has green hair for about six months after Halloween.
————————————————————
Sniper was planning to just go as he was, Scout begs him to dress up, it being traditional and all. Decides he's pretty much dressing like a cowboy at all times anyway, so why now just roll with it? Manages to beat the system with this one, and bearly puts on anything new for his costume. Makes a lasso buys a sheriff star and some boots and deems his outfit complete. Scout is mildly disappointed but still happy he could at least convince him to dress up.
————————————————————
Is it to much if I say Spy would be a princess for Halloween? Is it too much if I say a specific Disney princess? I mean it's not my fault that Cinderella is so iconic, and that Spy would slay so hard in that dress, like come on, I can't stop putting him in dresses now. If that's not what people wanted they wouldn't have made the art of Spy in a dress. And you know this man has the glass heels, takes dressing up very seriously. Maybe even makes a couple of stuffed mice to keep on his dress to make it look more accurate to the movie, who knows.
————————————————————
I think it would be so funny if Soldier dressed up like a revolutionary soldier, but I won't go for something so easy, I refuse. I'll say he'd dress up as a werewolf, but with a twist, he's a were-raccoon! He'd make the costume himself and be so proud. Shows it to his raccoon pals (I don't know if this was someone's headcanon or actual canon but either way, I agree he has pet raccoons), and they cheer.
————————————————————
Sorry it's not super long! I don't know why my headcanons have gotten less detailed, maybe the brain rot is that severe, but I still loved doing this one. and I'm glad I could at least get this one done!
I promise one of these days I'll get back into being able to do longer posts!
Love you guys 💖

Acknowledging that I may be missing the point by trying to figure out the in-universe explanation and logistics, rather than focusing on the metaphor and symbolism behind Emesis Blue;
I think the Plague Doctor might be Fritz Ludwig from the future, possessed and/or under control of his alter ego (Hence the uncharacteristic act). There’s the obvious fact that Jeremy treats Fritz with hostility and fear, and Fritz’s own hallucination of killing Jeremy’s mom. He has the gouged-out eyes and smile, which Fritz receives at the end of the film after crashing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At the end of the film, Fritz is brought back in the respawn machine, amidst a bunch of fire. In Archibald’s PSA to newly-respawned mercenaries, there’s an inexplicable fire that enters the room just offscreen, so I think there’s a deliberate connection. The only other possibility is that Fritz respawns as the Conagher Slaughterhouse burns down near the end of the movie (note that this would require someone to perform the manual input on the respawn machine, possibly the Plague Doctor). The abrupt fire at the end of the PSA feels too deliberate of a detail to otherwise ignore. Note that right after the video ends with fire, we cut to some photos taken presumably around that time, including of a burning Fritz…
Tumblr media
Likewise, we have an example of time travel being an actual thing, and not just a Diazepam-induced hallucination (note Soldier claiming to have never taken any of the pills, only to later interact with his future self). This would explain how Fritz is in two places at once, which he needs to be, given we see him drive past Soldier in his ambulance, followed by the Plague Doctor’s hearse arriving just moments afterwards.
Now Fritz normally would have no reason to kill Jeremy’s mom, but that’s assuming it’s him in control; More than likely, it’s his alter-ego. Now I’ve watched TheWhat Show’s video on Emesis Blue, so I’m inspired by a lot of what he suggested here. But if we go with the idea that Fritz is being possessed by the spirit of the Tenth Class, this may explain a bit...
Dell’s Bar seems to be the limbo, the purgatory, the waiting room that the mercs and others who go through respawn wait in. And we know the respawn machine creates a fresh duplicate of one’s body, meaning respawned mercenaries can interact with their previous corpses; Hence the motherload of identical dead bodies all over the place. 
There’s also the hallucination Fritz has, where he’s trapped in a casket inside the church, while the Plague Doctor watches; Foreshadowing both the church he kills Pyro in, and later his own funeral assassination. But it could also symbolize Fritz’s mind/soul being locked away in his body, or perhaps in a briefcase/limbo, while the Plague Doctor takes over...
If we go by the theory that the Plague Doctor is the vengeful ghost of the Tenth Class who has possessed Fritz, I think things begin to come together. After crashing at the end of Emesis Blue, Fritz’s soul is stuck in limbo, awaiting his next respawn. Due to time loop shenanigans, he is respawned in the past as Archibald records his PSA, possibly with only the Tenth Class’ soul inside; Fritz’s soul may have been left behind in limbo, which may be located within the briefcase. Either way, the Tenth Class in total control now.
The fire is an interesting detail; Did the respawn machine malfunction? And this malfunction caused both the flame and the retrieval of future Fritz, instead of his current self? Or maybe, and this is a bit out there but I just want to say it; Maybe the Tenth Class’ soul was plucked straight from Hell, and in doing so brought some hellfire with him that burned the Conagher Slaughterhouse, the first time. We see an apparition of the Tenth Class when Soldier is about to jump over the chasm leading to ‘Hell’, after all; Maybe the Tenth Class went there.
Something I find interesting is that the Plague Doctor seems to be working with BLU Heavy, Pyro, and Zed and Maynard Conagher. Somebody else was holding up Mama Scout’s head when Pyro kidnapped Jeremy, and it appears BLU Heavy was supposed to pass the briefcase to the Plague Doctor near the start of the film. The Plague Doctor’s hearse is a convenient vehicle to transport BLU Heavy’s body to the Conagher Slaughterhouse, to later be revived by RED Medic into a Mr. X reference.
We know Maynard was the one to lock up Jeremy, “according to specification” as he tells Zed. And the Plague Doctor’s hearse is seen right outside the Conagher Slaughterhouse, burning just as its driver did when he first arrived in the past... Obviously the Plague Doctor isn’t being totally honest with the Conagher brothers, since he presumably gave the key to Jeremy’s casket to Fritz; Zed is confused as to how Jeremy escaped.
If the Plague Doctor is a possessed/evil Fritz from the future, that could explain how he has the key; That, or there's a second copy of the same key that Zed and Maynard don’t know about. Maybe there’s only one key and they threw it out, only for the Plague Doctor to retrieve it behind their backs... OR, Fritz held onto the key after freeing Jeremy, bringing it with him all the way to the film’s end; So when he respawns in the past, he has the key with him. And he slides it under his past self’s door near the start of the film.
What puzzles me is what the Plague Doctor’s goal and motive is; Did the Emesis Diazepam lead to memory loss, meaning he doesn’t realize he’s reliving the same events, just from a different role? Is he trying to end the cycle? Set up Soldier to arrive at the Conagher Slaughterhouse, learn the truth, and kill Redmond and Blutarch, breaking free? How did he convince BLU Heavy, Pyro, the Conagher brothers, and presumably RED Sniper into working with him? Is Archibald aware of and working with these guys? Being led to believe they’re helping him lay low, when in reality he’s just bait for Fritz, BLU Soldier, and BLU Spy? 
RED Sniper asks Soldier if he wants to die for something worth dying for, after deriding Archibald; Indicating he’s knowingly a part of some plan to end the Gravel Wars. But why try to kill Soldier at the start? Was that just Plan A, and Plan B was to inspire him to end it? Is BLU Heavy even collaborating with the others after being revived, or has his undead state turned him into an uncontrollable monster on nobody’s side?

Give headcanon for merc.
(Sorry I been taking so long to get to these, I’ve been dealing with the sudden death of my baby bird, life has been kinda terrible this week)
NOTE: There will be some suggestive stuff in here but most of it is for comedic purposes
General merc headcanons:
Scout:
-my boi got adhd like you would not believe
-The poor bastard cannot focus on anything for the life of him, no matter how hard he tries
-One of the reasons why he has trouble with reading, he was never really able to focus enough to figure it out, as that’s something that takes a LOT of time and a LOT of focus.
-Really talented artist tho! He loves drawing and keeps a sketchbook or two in his room! He likes to doodle before bed each night, it helps him calm down
-Somehow gay and homophobic at the same time
-Would absolutely lose his shit over the blue lobster meme no matter how old it gets
Soldier:
-My goofy ahh uncle
-The physical embodiment of “he a lil confused, but he got the spirit”
-Bro does not give a FUCK what anyone else thinks and I respect the hell out of that
-The men in his family were all in the military, which is one of the reasons why he’s obsessed
-secretly very insecure that he never actually made it into the official military
-Puts up a front so he can avoid feeling like a disappointment sometimes
-Solly is one of those people that sleeps like a LOG. Literally nothing can wake him up other than his own internal clock, which conveniently goes off at 6am.
-It is at this point in the morning when he goes around the base and attempts to make everyone else get up. Most are not pleased.
-Bi as fuck. He kisses men. He kisses women. He literally does not care, a beautiful person is a beautiful person, son.
-He calls his partner “son”.
Pyro:
-He is my son
-I love my son so much I am so proud of him for just existing.
-Pyro’s name is Ernesto
-His mask is literally just his face, like the plague doctor SCP. What appears to be clothing is actually just his body.
-He is from another planet, and the oxygen in our atmosphere has hallucinatory effects on members of his species
-Poor baby is basically in a haze 100 percent of the time :( but he does his absolute best!
-He literally only wants to spread peace, love, and flower power
-Fire makes him feel nice, because it’s bright and it’s warm. Fire is friendly and comforting. It helps ground him in this strange world.
Demo:
-Under-appreciated as fuck holy shit
-Probably one of the most hardworking people on the team, if not THE most
-This guy is doing multiple jobs at once in addition to his demanding work as a mercenary.
-He’s actually super smart! He may not act like it when he’s super drunk, but he seriously does know what he’s doing
-Chemistry EXPERT. Can he please help me with my chem 101 homework I literally could never. I know he’s smart because chemistry is fucking impossible and he loves the subject
-sometimes works with Engie to develop new types of bombs!
-My theory is that he turned to alcohol in order to cope with the chronic burnout he must be facing by working so many jobs at once. Just helps him check out of life for a while, but unfortunately that comes at the cost of his liver.
-Fr tho how the fuck is he even alive, he drinks HYDROGEN PEROXIDE at one point, which isn’t even related to alcohol at all, it’s literally just a poisonous chemical💀
-I have reason to believe he now has epilepsy as a result of medic damaging his hippocampus while scooping his brain, I made a post about this a while ago if you’re interested in more details
-He is very much in need of a hug
-I love him so much
-You’re doin good lad
Heavy:
-One of the smartest people on the team, despite what you might perceive at first glance.
-The only reason he may sound “dumb” to some people is because English is his second language, and he has a very hard time speaking it.
-Fr tho English sucks, I have no idea how people learn it later in life on their own
-In the Russian dub of meet the heavy, he speaks a lot more eloquently. Definitely strikes me as the type of person to have a PhD in Russian literature.
-His dream was to one day become an author, but mercenary work got in the way because it was the best way to provide for his family overseas.
-He still writes from time to time in a small notebook he keeps by his bed, in the hopes that one day he’ll publish something
-He will
-Gay AF
-The literal definition of a Bear
-His guns are his babies, he literally loves them like they’re his children.
-Honestly I feel that way about my PC so I get it😭
Engie:
-Also a very underrated character
-Ties with medic for Smartest On The Team
-Engie just puts his genius towards more practical (and less unhinged) use
-I mean clearly he’s not TOTALLY stable, he did cut off his own arm to attach the gunslinger
-Always felt the need to prove himself growing up. Because of where he’s from, people tended to assume he was kinda stupid based on stereotypes. He obviously ended up proving everyone wrong.
-Is autistic and has OCD. He needs to do things a certain way or he can get extremely upset, especially in his workshop. It’s his safe space that is not to be invaded unless he is expecting you.
-Acts like a father figure to pyro. Basically the only one who isn’t unsettled by him (other than maybe medic)
-He definitely takes pyro fishing on the weekends
-Very talented singer, but he’ll absolutely deny it if you tell him. He’s super humble about everything
-But nah everyone else always loves to listen to him sing and play the guitar when they’re all hanging out at the fire pit.
-He’s such a dad I love him
Medic:
-Medic is my wife
-Smartest member of the team along with Engie
-Actually very strong! He lifted soldier up by the collar in expiration date, and he’s gotta weigh at LEAST 250.
-Also carries around heavy equipment all day, and is STILL the second fastest runner on the team, only behind scout.
-Medic is actually a pretty big dude. It’s just hard to notice when he’s standing next to heavy who is an actual giant. I think medic is canonically like 6’1 or something. Big dude. Wide shoulder. Booba. 👍
-Of course he looks small when he’s near heavy, EVERYONE looks small standing next to heavy
-Bi medic Bi medic Bi medic Bi medic
-Contrary to popular belief, he DOES indeed have the title of “Doctor”. In order to get a medical license in the first place, you are required to complete med school and obtain an MD or DO degree. Licensure and degrees are two separate things. You can lose a license, but you can’t be stripped of the education you already learned. The title of “Doctor” comes with a degree, not a license, as we have seen with engineer and Heavy’s PhD’s.
-He’s autistic with a special interest in medicine! If he’s not actively in battle, his in his lab working on shit. He LOVES it. It’s basically the only subject he cares about (source: am autistic w/ medical special interest. Am I projecting? Maybe but oh well)
-He very clearly knows what he’s doing, even though his methods are kinda fucked💀
-He’s succeeded in literally raising the dead multiple times in addition to inventing all of his healing devices completely his own.
-Hangs out with Engie when he’s not working on stuff, they both enjoy building/inventing devices and they enjoy talking about their shared special interests. He is closest with Engie and heavy out of everyone on the team.
-The only one that knows pyro is an SCP
-He’s a hoe. A massive hoe
-we are married
Sniper:
-Emotions are scary and Should Not Exist
-Also autistic! The man has literally no idea how to speak to other humans, and talks to himself constantly (am autistic, can confirm)
-MASSIVE introvert, has to retreat to his van a couple times a day to recharge
-He likes to draw birds he sees while on the job!
-Likes plain black coffee which I will never understand it’s so fucking bitter literally wh
-Doesn’t like people to know he’s somehow only 27 years old despite looking like he could be my dad when in reality he’s only like 7.5 years older than me
-He could be my brother but he looks like he could be my dad wtf
-One of those lucky bastards who doesn’t burn in the sun easily, he’s outside constantly
-His ideal place to be would be outdoors on a nice sunny day. A wide open area with no one else around.
-Puts his hat over his face when he sleeps because of course he does
-He Is Not Straight
Spy:
-Pan, poly
-Canonically enjoys his romances “in groups of six”
-Spy hosts orgies guys, valve’s words not mine
-Sigma chad, has fucked your mom and will do it again
-Is not aware that he smells terrible from smoking all the time
-God knows how many children he’s left behind because he’s afraid of staying in any type of committed relationship
-Very similar to sniper in that emotions are Scary
-Speaks every language known to mann
-He absolutely has a sex dungeon. In this video he literally has plans to “remodel his dungeon”:
https://youtu.be/IIoBW__Y8DY
youtube
-WHAT OTHER KIND OF DUNGEON WOULD HE HAVE
-ITS A SEX DUNGEON
-HE’S HAD IT LONG ENOUGH THAT IT NEEDS REMODELING
-Probably has the best social skills out of anyone else on the team
-Possibly a sociopath? Or just very good at hiding his intentions and motivations
-Spy is awesome but also I love making fun of him
-Haha skinny legg mann
Im so sorry poor anon asked this like a month ago😭😭 but I wanted to be really thorough with my headcanons!! I hope you like em and feel free to ask me more shit :))

4th rewatch of Emesis Blue you know the drill
I think Fritz bloodied his hands fighting the cops after he passes out - we hear pounding on the door, and we know it's usually a brief lapse of consciousness that incites the state where Fritz becomes violent, in part a panic response rather than an act of guilt I would think
Scout is kidnapped > Fritz rocks up sometime later > Fritz faints > cops bust in and fight him > Fritz gets away in the ambulance
So.
Red Medic we know is working for Helix. The Conaghers seem to be taking orders from them too (the other two brothers at least, Dell is unclear - could be a defector) if the phone conversation is anything to go by. Presumably, Plague Doctor handed off the briefcase to the Conaghers and is also with Helix.
The Plague Doctor was also likely the one who nabbed the key to the coffin in the hand-off, in this case, and gave it to Fritz - along with the sign leading him to the Slaughterhouse. It's unclear what the purpose of this was, the Conaghers obviously weren't in on this, so Plague Mask may in fact be some kind of defector too while also acting on orders so as not to arouse suspicion.
Pyro and Sniper might work for Helix too, it seemed like during the interrogation scene Pyro was waiting for orders, which is why they delayed doing anything. Sniper corresponds with Pyro, so they seem to be working on the same side.
Sniper says "Do you really wanna die for that fat bastard?" which, if it is Helix, would tie back to the theory that they were planning to kill Archibald before he could be caught and arrested, which would no doubt expose their company.
So Jules was affiliated to BLU, while secretly making the same deals with RED and working with Helix, who was making the most of Archibald's political sway (in keeping their experimental lab under wraps) while secretly plotting a way to set up his murder and have Fritz take the fall when Archibald's power came under scrutiny.
By the end Spy could also potentially be under Helix's employ and aiding their cover-up efforts as such.
I would assume that Plague Doctor also helped smuggle Fritz into the funeral?
It seems like maybe the end goal was to get the respawn data in the briefcase away from Helix so that they'd stop doing fucked up experiments on the mercs? Which is why I question if maybe Dell was in on it too and managed to set up their little slice of purgatory ahead of time
I don't know where EMESIS fits into all this or what the pills were supposed to be that wasn't Diazepam, or more specifically, what they're supposed to do...
or, for that matter, what exactly their impact on Fritz's mental state is. My theory was something to do with brainwashing given the more analogue horror adjacent ad on Fortress Films' channel seeming to imply as much, but why Jules Archibald would be so alarmed by that when he's clearly been okay with the mercs having all manner of other horrible things befall them is beyond me.
Also the apparition that appears behind Fritz at the end of the movie. I do again, wonder if the medics and plague doctor are all just iterations of the same person...

Funny/weird things my TF2 alters do/have done
Scout
Begged my friend to let him take a bite out of their fried chicken leg and cried when they said no.
Ate shaving cream on accident.
Flirted with my friend and then screamed at the top of his lungs with horror when he found out she was 15.
Tried to stop a period with... bandaids. Not kidding.
DOESN'T WASH HIS FUCKING HANDS after going piss.
Threw a tantrum at all of my friends because our world doesn't have Bonk!.
Soldier
Fronted just to scream at the wall for like 5 minutes.
My friend (the same one Scout begged for chicken) was working on their school computer. We sit in front of them. Soldier turned around, grabbed the back of their laptop, and slammed it onto the desk so he could see the screen. My friend pulled it back up. Soldier slammed it back down. Repeat like 20 actual times until my friend sighed, pulled up pictures of WWII, and gave the laptop to Soldier so he could look at them.
Tried to purchase an absurd amount of cream cheese online. Became upset because we dont have a credit card. Tried to purchase a credit card online.
Asked my friend if she was a communist and then threw the apple he was eating at her when she said yes. Then he picked that apple up off of the floor and continued to eat it. And then threw it at her a second time. And then ate more of it off the floor.
Played Meep City on Roblox and got really upset when people called him a Trump Supporter. Also told about 50 people on there that he would fight for their "God given rights to be LGBT". (nice)
Sniper
Listened to Lola by The Kinks for about two hours on loop, then turned on Jimmy Hendrix. Got very mad when I turned off Jimmy Hendrix.
Tried to eat tree bark.
Told my cousin he would break into their house and beat the shit out of their mom.
Pointed to my friend and said "that sheila is a crazy bitch." Outloud.
Yelled at all of my friends for calling his accent gay.
Cried over the fact that Pixel (my cat) is small.
Spy
Intentionally started drama between two of my friends and still happily asks me for updates.
Observed all of my friends for about 5 minutes and decided he likes none of them.
Drinks cranberry juice like it's a fine wine.
Refuses to front when we're eating school food because it's "repulsive".
Also cried over Pixel being small.
Demoman
Woke up not knowing where he was, screamed in fear, and then left front immediately after.
Fronted just to call my friend a "wee lil cunt" and then left again.
Medic
Asked my cousin for one of his teeth, became confused as to why he declined.
Befriended a literal walking corpse from my friend's system.
Tries to "kill my friends with his mind". (He just stares at them for like three minutes and then gets disappointed.)
Talked about TF2 with my friend and then laughed when they asked if he and Heavy were "good pals." Informed them that he's dating Heavy. Laughed harder when my friend's mouth dropped in shock.
Heavy
He's never fronted on his own but sometimes he comes into the frontspace while Medic is there to show him a funny picture of a bird.
Engineer
Fronted at work for like two seconds today to steal a piece of bacon and shove it in his mouth. I respect the grind.
Got pissed off at my Theatre Tech teacher for taking 40 minutes to explain how to work a machine he already knew how to work.
Gets so mad when we listen to anything that isn't country music.
Pyro
Burned our hand on accident and then cried for 15 minutes thinking they would get in trouble.
Listens to nothing but things like "Do you Believe in Magic", "Lollipop", "Mr Sandman", etc.
Tried to wear a plague doctor mask to school to cover our face.
Eats sweets for every meal and cannot be trusted to eat meals in front alone.

If you haven’t figured it out yet I love designing cosmetics/skins. And I saw medieval beekeepers and I had to do a few quick designs for Pyro. 
Also I’m currently undecided on whether the bees would be restricted to pyrovision or not. 
(Keep reading for cleaner and more detailed notes as I know my hand writing can get a bit messy)
The fuel canister on Pyro’s back should be replaced by a large beehive roughly the same size as their base canister. The two types of shapes for this replacement can be seen in the 3rd image.
The nozzle of the flamethrower here has the iconic black and yellow stripes of the fuzzy friends. The tank of the weapon has been replaced by another beehive this design is semi locked in as it has to be a smaller variety of hives for the flamethrower. 
In the bottom right of the 1st and 2nd image those are a few alternative designs for bee smokers that would replace the incendiary grenades. Originally I was thinking of bee plushies, but bee smokers felt more fitting. 
Currently I can’t think of any unique abilities this would have. There is a possibility of the gun weapon slot (secondary if I recall) potentially also being one of the bee smokers. Where you could throw the smoker and upon colliding with another object or person a smoke cloud erupts designed to impair/lower enemy vision. Another alternative could be a honey bomb which would just be a reskin of the gas passer. These are all maybes though as I would need to do more research/planning.
This is more a side note, but I’ve been thinking about also doing a plague doctor Medic concept and then a scuba diver set for Pyro (like the old bulky fishbowl looking ones). For the scuba diver concept the flamethrower would blow bubbles at the enemies and slow them down. The secondary would be a net and the melee would either be a hook, anchor or something else sea themed. I don’t know when I’d be able to draw them though sadly.

do any of the mercs play board games?
Mercopoly (Board Game
Headcanons)
Scout:
You think he has enough of an attention span to play something that doesn’t involve sweating out his energy drinks?
Hell no!
He gets very bored very quickly, especially with something complex like chess.
He’ll play cards sometimes, but only Crazy Eights and Go Fish - that’s all he knows how to play.
However, there is one true board game he plays occasionally: Candy Land.
It’s one of the few board games that you don’t really have to read the rules for, and there isn’t any writing on the cards.
However, he only asks to play it when he’s not feeling very well.
Medic even has a page in his medical journal for the mercs that says, and I quote:
“The Scout has an extremely short attention span, and if an activity isn’t active or immersive, he will not stay long. If at any point he chooses a sedentary activity, a check-up is in order.”
As sad as it is, a request to play Candyland is a good way to know if Scout needs a little extra reassurance or support.
By the end of the game, Scout usually feels more himself, whether he wins or not.
Engie is especially good with Scout when he’s this way, being the one of the most emotionally sensitive of the group. But he also knows Scout would never admit straight-away how he was feeling, so he usually has a more fun way of getting answers.
“You feelin’ more like a King Candy or a Lord Licorice?”
“...Fudge Monster.”
“That bad, huh?”
“Yeah...”
Spy:
If you ask him, he will most likely go off on a tangent about chess, and how it’s a game of strategy, deception, and crushing your enemy with your wit.
He scoffs at any other game, and constantly makes fun of several of his more intelligent peers for finding interest in them.
“You are mercenaries. Blood-thirsty killers of men. And you are playing ‘Hungry, Hungry Hippos’ like a hoarde of kindergartners?”
But one thing he cannot resist is Sorry.
He considers it above normal board games because it has strategy - or at least that what he says.
He actually just likes it because it’s a game of revenge, which is like a drug to him.
He’s gotten so good at it that if he asks you to play Sorry with him, it’s almost guaranteed that he’s mad at you and just wants to let off some steam by giving you a horrendous loss. However, occasionally, he’s the one who loses.
Spy isn’t a poor sport, exactly - he’s too cultured for that - but sometimes his pride outweighs his manners and he convinces himself that the other player cheated through made up signs of deception.
He simply “allows” them to win because he “doesn’t want to make a fuss.”
But god help the unfortunate soul who decides to rub their win in his face.
Sniper had won five games in a row, and it was clear Spy was getting hot under the collar.
Sniper ended their games with a mischievous, “You’ll get ‘em next time, tiger.” and a small pat on his shoulder.
Spy immediately saw red, grabbed Sniper’s hand, and before the aussie knew it, he was against a concrete wall with a butterfly knife to his throat.
“I could kill you right now. Your final cry for Medic will be drowned in blood, and I would leave you here to die a painful, dramatic death. You’ll be replaced with a rusted trash can of a bot until they could grow another clone of you. Every memory will be gone. The team will be shrouded in grief, not because of losing you, but losing what the clone can never have. And I shall bide my time, ask the clone to play the same game, and kill them when they win. Another clone, another kill. And again. And again. And again. You think the Manns give a damn as long as their work is getting done? You will never be able to form a single thought before I spill your blood - caught in an eternal prisoner’s dilemma where you always lose.”
After gathering his bearings, Sniper finally spoke.
“Is this about your takeout?”
Spy scoffed.
“Do you really think - !”
“Tonight, my treat if you don’t kill me.”
Spy squinted.
“Egg rolls?”
“And an extra order of crab rangoon.”
“Your treat?”
“Yep.”
“How do I know you won’t poison me?”
“Chemical test before and after the food arrives.”
“How do I know Medic isn’t in on it?”
“Miss Pauling as a witness and Scout as an overseer. Pauling’s main objective is to keep us alive, and Scout can’t do bloody anything subtle, even if he wanted to. You can also play back the cameras in the lab, if the mood really struck ya.”
Spy held Sniper against the wall for a minute or two while he thought it all over, then let Sniper fall to the ground.
“I don’t need your sympathy, bushman. But you had better keep your end of the deal. I am the only backstabber around here.”
Demo:
Can’t even stay awake long enough to play most board games.
On the rare chance that he’s sober, he, Engie, and Medic like to play Monopoly.
Here’s the thing: you should never ask a drunkard, an engineer, and a sadist genius to play Monopoly together. It will not end well.
They have been playing the same game for years, with new rules in place and physical extensions to the board in order to try and end the game. Every other Friday, they take the weekend to try and finish it.
However, it all ends up fruitless.
Demo is usually the one keeping the peace, since he is the least competitive out of the three. That isn’t to say he isn’t clawing for the win as much as the other two, but he is definitely the least invested. He’s mostly staying out of principle.
“If there’s one thing I’ve learned, ‘s ta ne’er give up, e’en when the goin’s gettin’ tough. Roll the dice, doc.”
Despite his confidence, he’s not even sure what he would do if he or anyone else won. It would seem more like a relief than a celebration.
Medic:
He’s the one who started the Eternal Monopoly game, which has led to some theories that the game itself came straight from hell, and is one of the many punishments used on sinners. The box does smell a bit of brimstone…
He seems to enjoy the chaos that each round brings and the challenge of coming up with new rules to the game. To any outsider, his commentary and directions are complete nonsense.
“According to zhe ‘Calvinball Rule,’ as stated by Engineer, and the ‘Double Kill,’ as stated by myself, since the current time ends vis a three and ve all received at least two kills zhis veek, ve need to double every other roll and whomever loses zhe resulting game of ‘Bim Bum’ vill have to go to zhe Purple Jail.”
The rules and mechanics are like an unholy amalgamation of Monpoly, Sorry, chess, D&D, Bluff, and poker.
However, when Medic isn’t stapling pages of rules together, he likes to play a nice, relaxing game of checkers with Heavy.
Both of them are excellent checker players, but neither of them care who wins.
In fact, they usually talk over the game, taking the other player’s pieces as one of them shares a story from that day’s battle.
They’ve even played while Heavy was in surgery - leading to many unfortunate times when Medic had to fish a piece out of Heavy’s intestines.
One would think that a genius doctor would also have a passion for chess, but he expresses his disdain for it almost every time the checker board is brought out.
“Ach, people think chess is such an intelligent sport. Let me tell you, liebling, it is terribly overrated. If zhe devil can play chess, anyvun can. He might as vell just give souls avay, vis those shaky claws of his.”
Engineer:
Being the engineer, he is usually the one to add to the Eternal Monopoly.
Pieces, board extensions, cards, trivia - it gives him a nice break from all the weaponry.
He’s usually the one who remembers all the mechanics and rules, and serves as the judge if rules contradict each other.
“Alright, now let’s see here…we’ve got the Infinity Loop over here, but now you’ve got the Time Travel card…how many years? Infinite? Ho boy…looks like I’m gonna have to add a Hilbert’s Hotel square somewhere. Hold on…”
Despite his affinity for Eternal Monopoly, Engineer will play almost any board game. He learns new rules and figures quickly, and enjoys the challenges that brings.
However, if he’s particularly burnt out, he likes to take a break by playing Jenga. He and Spy have a friendly rivalry, since Engie can tell which blocks are supporting and Spy has quick fingers.
Spy, oddly, is a lot more amiable losing in Jenga - he knows Engie won’t think less of him - but Engineer hates when the bricks fall over. Not because it means he lost, but because, to him, it’s a failure on his part…even if it was someone else that knocked it over.
He’s made several blueprints for the perfect Jenga game, but has concluded that no human hand could put it into practice.
During one particularly bad day, Engie bumped the table, causing the whole column to come crashing down. Spy had already recovered from the noise, but Engie was still standing there, stone-faced.
His eyes were covered by his goggles, but it was clear he was crying.
Several of his machines had broken on the job, and to him, this was just another egregious mistake.
Spy carefully put the blocks back in the container, and Engie came to his senses.
“I’m real sorry, Spy. Maybe another time…?”
Spy only nodded. He was thinking.
The next time they played, Spy brought out a different container.
Instead of wood, the bricks seemed to be made of a sturdy foam.
“They fall a bit more…quietly,” Spy explained. He dropped one, and it only made a small bouncing sound. “Pyro uses these, but they allowed me to borrow it.”
Engie was a bit skeptical at first, since it was a new material, but he got the hang of it rather quickly. He was almost ecstatic the first time it fell - the blocks barely made any sound at all!
After a few games, Spy had to leave for an assignment. Engie put a hand on their arm.
“Thank ya, Spy. Maybe you ain’t the cold-blooded backstabber I thought you were.”
Spy chuckled, but said little else. He didn’t want to admit that noise sensitivity plagued him as well.
Pyro:
Pyro loves board games, and has quite the collection in their room.
Each plastic piece is at least a little melted, and all the boxes have two or three scorch marks.
Hungry Hungry Hippos, Candyland, and Uno are among her favorites.
He is an absolute beast at Uno, though.
They take each game very seriously, especially when they can convince the whole team to play.
As you can imagine, it’s pure chaos - it even led to a rule in the Merc Guidebook: “When playing Uno with three or more players with the inclusion of a Pyro, at least one Mann Co. representative and/or a mediating Medic must be present.”
Pyro has been known the hide cards, bribe players, or even try to set flame to competition. Playing Uno is almost like a mission, with weapon preparation and Spy posing as other players.
The mercs even have a betting stand that Sniper runs. All parties have lost a lot of money that way.
It’s pretty much the only time outside of battle that the team remembers how cruel and malicious Pyro can be.
Sniper:
Conventional board games aren’t exactly his forté, but he does enjoy a bit of cards every once in a while - Solitaire being his favorite.
He even has a pack of cards in his Sniper Square for that exact purpose. It allows him the pass the time without having to look away from his targets too often.
On occasion, he could be pressed to play poker, but only if the stakes weren’t monetary (i.e candy pieces, crackers, duties, etc.).
His favorite part of every match is shuffling the cards. Pretty much every merc could shuffle cards, but Sniper could make them almost float with how quick his fingers and wrists moved. He always began the game with a new trick he learned, which delighted his fellow players (usually Spy, Engineer, Medic, and Demo).
You could always tell if he had a busy day because he would avoid tricks with too much movement, which would be murder on his sore fingers and hands.
Pyro is currently learning card tricks from Sniper, and show off what they learn at the beginning of every Uno game.
Heavy:
He isn’t a huge fan of the bright, plastic-y board games that Pyro has, although he will play them if asked.
It’s mostly because of how complicated the rules are and the fact there are almost never a Russian translation for the directions.
He always prefers checkers, cards, or mancala, which he almost exclusively plays with Medic because he’s the only one who speaks fluent Russian.
Heavy can play a mean game of mancala, though, and it’s the only game he can beat Medic at.
Soldier:
The only games he will play are Battleship and Uno - but only after Miss Pauling convinced him it was “American enough” because the game had red, white, and blue cards.
He prefers the electronic Battleship because of the sound effects and voices. However, if it’s out of batteries, he’ll make his own sound effects.
Miss Pauling is the best at pretending to be a commander, so she’s usually the one playing with him - but, sometimes, Demo gets in on the action, too.

Do you have one with crippling depression yet? Like they stop eating, stop moving, always nearing tears but bottles them up, becomes emotionally numb, not really finding the joy in life in anyway? There’s nothing physical that caused it, it’s just isolation, loneliness, or guilty memories catching up with you. I’m uh, not doing so good right now and your writing is a really good pick-me-up. Can you write it? Please? It’s fine if it’s too triggering, I can understand. Have a good day, or night.
My inbox is always open my dude, and im more than thankfull for your words
(this will be about a merc and a S/O, hmu if you meant about team dynamics)
You are poetry, 
stay safe & hydratated
tw: depression
Scout: (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ not the most emotional mature of the mercs; even himself admits that he is pretty immature even for his age (early 20s), but this doesn’t means he doesn’t have empathy or that he doesn’t care about his S/O. He sees you suffering and he is big time worried. He tries to motivate you, drag you out of your bed and do something fun or at least go and buy some food. He will get annoying but he can’t just sit there and watch you rot. He is a hands-on guy, he might not understand why you are acting up like this, but at the same time he doesnt know how he can approach you. He will try to hug you tighter and bring you food and water, his shoulders can be a pillow for you to cry all day and night long and his hands are there to wipe off the tears from your face. He hates seeing his bby sad and would give half his Tom Jones memorabilia for you to wake up one day and be your old, happier self ♥
Soldier: (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ although his social skills are in scarcity, he isnt a traitor. He sees his S/O down ( mentally) and it pains him to an unimaginable extent  to see you so unmotivated . He doesn't understand why are you sad, what has happened? Did that crazy Kraut touched you? who he needs to snap the neck? He hates seeing you like this. Will be stubborn, just because he doesnt understand something it doesnt mean he can't find a way around. In the end, he will push you enough to actually break down and explain everything that has happened. For the first time in years hes just silent, he broke the dam and he is beyond ashamed of making you break down like this. He doesn't what to do so for now he will hold you as tight as he can and promise in America and whatever is holy and pure in him that he will help you untill you are again okay. ♥
Pyro: (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ they know that you are sadder than before and they can see you points of view. They themselves know that life sometimes just sucks and that its okay not to want to eat or leave your bed. But they are also afraid that whatever is plaguing you it will become worse and worse and they really don’t want to see you hurting yourself like they once did. They try helping you do simple things, drink a glass of water, play a bit with their stuffed animals, theyll help you brush your hair or wash your face. They know they baby you, but they think you need a bit more of some more smootches or cuddles. If they see you worsening or being even less active they will drag you their pillowfort and just try to keep you as close them while chanting sweet nothings and sad mumbles, please don’t loose yourself like they did. ♥
Engie: (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ he might be a cruel, cold man when hes on the field, but in reallity he is the cinnamon roll meme( he is a cinnamon roll and he might kill you tho but he is mostly a cinammon roll). He knows also that work and his projects take a really big amount of his time so he already feels very guilty. I doubt he has any humanitarian doctorates, but he has an above average understanding of human psychology; whats the point of trying  to emulate life when you cant understand it?He knows he can't address it straightforward, but he needs to get you over this slump before you do something really stupid. Que him cleaning up his workshop and carrying you there bridal style. He has a small nest of pillows and blankets and right next to it his trusted guitar.You have the whole night and the day after to spend it together and get in the bottom of the barrel. Itll be hectic but he is a very patient man and loves ya to bits ♥
Demo: (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ lowkey one of the mercs with the most expierence with depression/ depressive episodes. For once in his life he doesnt drink and tries to find the rute of the problem, if there is of course or its just pent up anger and frustation with things that have happened in your life now or in the present. In simple, you will talk. For hours if needed. He wont drink a sip becausehe doesnt want to forget even the stupidest detail from your venting. In the end, he will offer you to drink but he will drag you out of the base/ house and make you sit in the front porch/ garden  while he has set up some “ festive” fireworks ( just some small ones that erupt and turn into hearts) . He isnt the ideal psychological perfection, but if you chosed the scottish cyclops for your mate, then he shall go to the man and back just to see you smile one more time. ♥
Heavy: ˜”*°•.˜”*°• he has seen depression and has experienced it himself. It was way too traumatic for a young man to have to support a family without a father figure around. I highly headcanon him to have deppresion hence the sandwich, hes bingining while staying in the battlefield. He doesnt care about the language barrier, in order for the both of you to be as close as you are know, it means you understand eachother to a satysfying extent. He will cook you a very hearty meal and bring it to your bed with a tray and sweet tea. You can eat in silence with him simply staying by your side and rub your back, words can’t potray how he feels right now. Once you finished hell put the dishes outside and simply cuddle you ( being the least cuddly of the mercs, it means a lot). You can nap, cry, trace patterns on his sculp anything really. All his life the main cause of depression was the anarchy surrounding his life, he needs you to feel protected. He doesn’tcare how much time it will take, but he will rip the mountains apart to seeyou smile out of genuine happiness, might even cry if he is the cause. •°*”˜.•°*”˜
Medic: (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ the most medically, again qualified from the group. so he has at least that covered. He isn’t stupid, you show clear signs of cronic clinical depression ( also known as manic depression) and although it has been a long while before finding a patient to lobotomize, hed be damned if he ever butchered you up like that. He is a healer, even if enjoys his enemies to hurt a little more than they should, and a healer is here to help both the body and the mind. Will persuade you into getting under medication, even if he knows theyll have little to no effecthe just hopes the placebo effect will motivate you. He tries to mix your routine with his, ex. he wakes up really early when you finnaly after hours of insomnia fell asleep, hell tuck you in and kiss your forehead. Throughout the day hell send Scout or Heavy to bring you food or water or your medications. Pyro will be by your doorstep or you side, to keep you company during the day. At night he will carry you to the medbay and do all the talking for you if you dont feel like talking, he will listen to all of your venting. Lowkey will sit you on his lap so he can rub your back and let you cry/ just sit there, to feel his heardbeat on your face and relax. ♥

Spy: (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥     actually he isn’t that mentally mature as much as he strives to be. He has very unhealthy copying mechanisms, he fucks and smokes his torments away, but he also knows different people have different copying mechanism and he cant judge how people seek comfort. He doesnt know how to help yo, he really does but he doesnt know. He is nervous but he will probably suggest you two take a vacation away, together. He has planned it all fancy and nice, and pretty much has scanned the whole place/ area/resort you are staying and having “ friends” around. He doesnt care if you just stay all day in the resorts pool and just chill around drinking pina coladas. In the middle of your vacations, he will take you to a more secluded area and will open up about his issues , not about your relationship but about him as a person. He has many issues and he is a very difficult person to be around, so you haveto know he will never judge you. But he also doesnt know how to help you. This will make you hug him and you two can finnaly have a good, well-earned cry. Kiss him on the nose or on his head and tell him how much all this means to you and he will cry you a river and hold you till the dayhe dies, how can someone so late in his life means so, just so damn much? ♥

If you were in Rammstein which band member's role would you most and least like to have?
I don't like being looked at so I'd prefer to be the Oli of the band, I think. I'd like to stand in the back just having a good time playing music with my friends, being weird and just vibing, as they say. A few people pay attention and for them I would learn to move like a robot. I cannot play bass, certainly not with his skill and strange rhythms, but that's unimportant: I want to dress like the grim reaper or a plague doctor. I'm surprised he hasn't gone full plague doctor before. Hey Till, write a song about the virus and dress everyone as plague docs.
I'd consider being Paul primarily for Richard-maintanence purposes and also for the bouncy mic. His balance between attention and being ignored seems pretty alright, so that not too concerning. Plus, weird hair gang, though mines cut more like 2019 Tills unfortunately.
I'd least like to be Till or Flake. I'd consider being the Flake if we played Feuerräder, and if ITDW and Bück Dich weren't part of the setlist, but otherwise I just. Don't like being looked at and Flakes whole job is to distract the audience to give Till a break and also be funny.
Obviously, Till gets the most attention and that's not fun at all. Id enjoy playing with the fire, I want to stand under the sparkle shower very badly, but he also has to keep an eye on everyone with regards to the pyro and whatnot and I just do not have the ability to do that. Too stressful.

All-Stars -Story Mode- [CHAPTER 4] Pt.4
Pt.1 Pt.2 Pt.3 Pt.5
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tumblr media
Meeting a Giant
Nikolai ran from the pack of Hellhounds til one of them came out of nowhere but he had the Olympia shotgun in his hands so it’s not hard for him to shot it’s head off with a splatter of blood on his face and kept running till he finds a bar.
He sprints towards it, opens the door, goes in and shuts it behind him as he watched the dogs from Hell ran away, completely passing by the bar where the Russian is hiding in.
Nikolai panting, trying to catch his breath from the running he endured, ‘’It never ends…’’ He breathed out the words, as he found a chair for him to sit down on and let his legs rest.
‘’They are like a plague, they can never stop nor rest after this. How long will this go on?’’ He continued as he reloaded the shotgun.
‘’But Nikolai can never stop as well, I need regroup with the others if they made it here as well.’’ he stated as he got up after he felt his legs had rested enough to last a week. Just when he was about to the leave the bar, he heard footsteps came up behind him, so he turned around as he fully expected there be a zombie but instead he saw a giant that is much taller than him.
Holy heck….
He looked up at the giant with wide eyes as sweat began to form, thoughts flooding his mind on how big he is and frighted with one thought he could easily beat someone up to a bloody pulp in that size!
A Giant looked at Nikolai, looking confused as he never seen him before but he looked like he had gone through a war, so in the Russian voice he said ‘’What is little man doing in bar?’’
Nikolai looked puzzled, puzzled till he spoke back ‘’Trying to survive from the hell pigs that are trying to kill me, are you?’’, ‘’Heavy is doing the same but my gun, Sasha, is out of ammo!’’ the now-named Giant replied.
Nikolai continued to be puzzled by this giant, he’s Russian like him and in need of ammunition to continue to fight off the undead. Nikolai looked up and said ‘’If I could find you ammo for your gun, Heavy, can you help me find my comrades?’’ as he pointed at the door.
Heavy smiled big and said ‘’Thank you! It’s in the starting room just not too far from bar, we can able to crush little zombies no problem!’’
Nikolai heartily laughed at the giant’s response as Heavy said ‘’What is your name, little man?’’ to Nikolai. ‘’Nikolai Belinski.’’ He introduced himself.
‘’Good to meet you!’’ Heavy said as he gave Nikolai a pat (more like a hard whack-like pat) on the back at full force, the Russian grunts in pain and nearly fell down from that force from the giant.
Nikolai was in pain but managed to stay on his feet, he looked at Heavy and said ‘’G-good to meet y-you too…’’ with a smile.
Heavy nodded as he patted on his back again this time gentle than the hard one that storke Nikolai. ‘’Alright then! No longer fooling around than before, time to get to the starting room!’’ Heavy proclaimed as he got a shotgun and the minigun while Nikolai brushed himself off.
‘’Let’s get going Nikolai!’’ Heavy yelled as he goes out of the door with the sergeant followed close behind him out of the bar.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Richtofen, Medic and Pyro ran for what felt like 3 hours as their lungs were screaming at them to stop as Hellhounds are still chasing them with the barking and growling. That’s when Takeo and Sniper came in and ran into them in a clashing course but stood their balance and kept running for their lives.
Then they reached the one room that Medic, Pyro and Sniper can idefinity, the room that had respawned them from deaths countless times before in each war game in the Gravel Wars: The starting room. Medic pointed at it as he yelled ‘’Zhere! Zhere! Get in get in!!’’ while everyone ran in the room as he cheered happily ‘’Yes! Yes! Ve’re safe! Ve’re save!’’ then the sliding garage door closes behind them after they entered the room.
‘’Notice zhe door? In the gravel war, our enemy team would never come in unless one of our team’s lose!’’ Medic said as he pointed at the door leading to the outside, ‘’Are you sure?’’ Takeo asked.
‘’Of course I am sure! Engineer designed it to be zhat vay!’’ Medic answered the question quickly as they shushed quietly immediately after they heard the growling of the dogs as they rushed by the room when they continued to run to find them.
They remained quiet for the remaining 5 minutes before Medic said ‘’Are…. Are zhey gone...?’’, then a banging came on the door, almost immediately after the Hellhounds are gone. They pointed their weapons at the door thinking it was a zombie that’s banging on the door but a scared voice that almost sounded like a scared girl yelled ‘’Let me in! Let me in right now! Please please!!’’
‘’Scout?!’’ Sniper said as he ran at the door and opened it before others could stop him, the boy with the cap and a blood-splattered bat rushes in almost pushing over the Australian in the process as he fell on the floor.
‘’Scout vhat are you-’’
‘’SHUTTHEDOORSHUTTHEDOORSHUTTHEFRICKIN’DOOR!!’’ Scout screamed in terror as he stoots away from the door a little bit, Sniper shuts it just in time before a single undead dog would set a paw in the starting room, barking and growling.
‘’Bloody hell! Where have you been!?’’ Sniper demanded as he watched the door as Scout gets back on his feet and looks for another weapons.
‘’I dunno man!! I was scared to death when I found them and they find me hiding behind the wall! All I know dat those dogs are dead! DEAD AS NAILS SNIPER!! And they started chasing me like I was a cat or somethin’!’’ Scout yelled as he found a scattergun in the locker, Richtofen and Takeo can hardy understood what Scout was saying when he spoke so quickly.
‘’Mind herr Scout tell us again with a slow tone please?’’ Richtofen said as Scout yelled ‘’THEY WERE ALL ZOMBIFIED! I had never saw them like dat a day in my life! Of course I had handled robots in the past but NOT like DAT!!’’
Sniper cockly smiled softly when others were looking at Scout like he had gone crazy, He had been annoyed by his teammate from Boston before but now the Hellhounds are doing him a flavor. ‘’Maybe that’s karma for not guarding the intel from the BLU Team last month.’’ Sniper said as Scout shoot glared at him while he chuckled under breath.
‘’DON’T start! Don’t even chuckle… I was stabbed in the back by a frickin’ BLU Spy after my guard down for just a second!’’ Scout barked at the Australian as Takeo raised an eyebrow at the young man with the scattergun and said ‘’Why would that be related to this-’’
‘’Don’t bring it up please.’’ Scout said.
‘’Can I set Scout on fire now Doctor?’’ Pyro asked the Medic, ‘’Patience Pyro, patience. It’s not the right time for zhat now, remember zhe zombies zhat are-’’ Medic answered before the lights went off ‘’AHH!! ZHEY TURNED ZHE LIGHTS OFF!! Zhe flashlights! Zhe flashlights!!’’ he said as his teammates got out and turned on their flashlights nearly blinding them.
‘’What are-’’ Takeo asked before being interrupted again by Medic saying ‘’It doesn’t matter right now but zhey now going to do some-’’ then the lights went on as everyone was caught off guard again by this, ‘’ZHEY TURNED ZHE LIGHTS BACK ON!! FLASHLIGHTS OFF FLASHLIGHTS OFF!!’’ he screamed at his teammates as they turned off their flashlights off as Scout said ‘’Geez Doc! You don’t need to yell it out to us.’’
‘’O-oh sorry, I was just surprised, just after a long time in zhe Badlands vhile zhe Gravel Wars vas going on just makes me feel at edge at times.’’ Medic said sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck. ‘’It’s true ya know,’’ Sniper said, ‘’Really mate, it can do that to you when you spend a long time in the Gravel Wars.’’
‘’Ve had it much vorse zhan zhat.’’ Richtofen said as Takeo nods in agreement, ‘’Well, I guess we are not that different at all from each other after all.’’ Sniper said as he smiled.
‘’Not like we had just met two random strangers here.’’ a voice came from behind with a French accent, that made everyone jumped out of their skins as they wrapped around to find Spy standing there, smoking a cigarette.
‘’Spoi!!’’ Sniper said, ‘’Don’t do that! You nearly gave all of us a bloody heart attack!’’ he continued as Spy chuckled ‘’Moi? I just couldn’t resist.’’
Tumblr media
(Steam Profile Background from Team Fortress 2 Wiki)
‘’Who is this?’’ Takeo said as he got out his sword, ready to fight the Spy. Spy was prepared to do the same with his knife til Sniper stopped him as he got between them while he said ‘’Just ignore him mate, he’s Spy and he’s on our side thankfully.’’
That made Takeo calmed down a bit but hesitatingly sheaths his sword away back in it’s sheath. ‘’From what I can tell, you are from Asia if I am correct.’’ Spy asked, ‘’Japan, of course Spy but I rather not hear it from the likes of you.’’ Takeo replied as his eyes are filled with suspicion already.
‘’I was trying to be friendly to the newcomers.’’ Spy says as he takes other drag of cigarette while he walked while he spoke ‘’Like all of you, I don’t remember either and other thing that we are in the new situation other than the usual run up but anyway, it’s good to meet you both, Dr. Richtofen and Takeo.’’
Both Takeo and Edward were surprised when Spy said their names, how did he know their names when he just met them?
‘’How did you know vho ve vere?’’ Richtofen asked, ‘’He’s a spy, he is like a secret agent and get information from random people or somethin’ like dat.’’ Scout explained as he found ammo for his scattergun.
‘’Like how you wanted to ask her out on the dial tone after you got the intel.’’ Spy said as he walked by the two, ‘’Go to hell, Spy.’’ Scout replied as Takeo raised an eyebrow at Scout when Spy mentioned ‘’her’’.
‘’”Her?” Who?’’ he asked, ‘’Mrs. Pauling, the one who hired us, Mercenaries and Scout’s-’’
‘’Shut it!’’ Scout said as a tint of pink dusted him while Spy chuckled a nice amount under his breath, he just like to mess with Scout whenever they are in a time like this.
Takeo can tell just by judging that they dislike each other but couldn’t shake that these two have similar features like a father and son would have but he had forced himself to shrug it off after a thought of asking Spy or Scout questions later after this ordeal is dealt with.
‘’Vell,’’ Medic said as Pyro had rummaged through one of the lockers til they found a polaroid camera on the shelf, examine it in their hands with curiosity. ‘’Since ve are all here together in zhis situation like zhis, ve need to find zhe others und zhen get to zhe lobby and discuss vhat ve do next zhere.’’
Pyro turns on the camera and watched the lens opened up then held it far from their face with the camera facing them while Takeo said ‘’How many were you mercenaries in this forsaking place?’’
‘’There were least nine of us, how many were you, mate?’’ Sniper answered, Richtofen looked at him with a worried look. ‘’4 of us, I am not sure if they are in this fortress.’’
‘’Don’t worry man, if they are, rely on me to find them-’’
‘’Scout, please,’’ Spy intervened, ‘’If we would let you go out alone, they would mistakenly think that you are one of them and-’’ and that’s what Spy said before being interrupted by Soldier screaming ‘’INCOMING!!’’ and then-
*Flash*
*KA-BOOM!*
Tumblr media
Pyro had taken a picture of themself holding up two fingers in a peace sign while Medic was blown back and Takeo shielding himself from the explosion as rubble and metal sherds of what’s left of the door flies across the room in the most epic fashion that anyone had ever seen.
‘’SOLDIER!!’’ Six members of RED yelled in unison as Soldier looked at the room, dumbfounded after a thought that the door is locked. ‘’Soldier boy, why would you do that?!’’ Engineer yelled at him as he put the rocket down while he said ‘’Dempsey told me to knock down doors if they’re locked.’’
‘’That’s NOT what I meant Soldier!’’ Dempsey exclaimed as he places his hand to his forehead in irritation and annoyance. ‘’In war, I could never use doors and always had to blow them up if I had to.’’ Soldier said as he rubbed the back of his head in both pride and embarrassment.
‘’You imbecile!!’’ Spy yelled angrily at him after seeing that he had just destroyed the door that had protected from the rival team and then zombies. It was their only chance to survive the undead, ‘’You’ve doomed us all!’’
‘’Yeah, not cool man, not cool.’’ Scout agreed with Spy as Dempsey walked in and go towards Richtofen and Takeo that are getting up from the floor and dusted themselves off from the explosion that Soldier had caused.
‘’Where the hell have you two been?’’ Dempsey said as he patted on Takeo’s back as the Jap coughed. ‘’We were wondering the same as you Dempsey, have you-?’’
‘’Made new friends already? Yep. This day hasn’t gotten any stranger than this.’’
‘’Stranger? Vhat do you mean by zhat Dempsey?’’ Richtofen questioned the marine, ‘’Some freak bag with a dice for a head that I have just met today, I wish I finally gone insane but he was there in person.’’ Dempsey said.
‘’Sounds like you really did gone insane man,’’ Scout said as he pushed himself off the floor, Dempsey snapped ‘’It’s not like that! He literally had a dice for a head, a tuxedo and a smug grin on his face!’’
‘’Oh… I can see zhat you are painting a picture of a… Cartoon.’’ Medic said, thinking that the Corporal had actually gone crazy along with the others. ‘’A Cartoon!? No I-’’ Dempsey asked, ‘’It’s something that k- Ugh! Never mind that! We need to get to the lobby!’’ Sniper said as he pointed out the door.
That’s when he heard Heavy’s voice bellowed from the destroyed entrance ‘’Here we are!’’ with Nikolai behind him, ‘’Wait, is that your…?’’ Nikolai asked as he points at the others in the room.
Heavy looks at the Respawn Room and took the moment to take in what had happened to it before yelling ‘’What happened to the Starting Room Doktor!?’’
‘’Azk zhe Soldier about zhat herr Heavy.’’ Medic answered as he glanced over to Soldier with a glare. ‘’I thought it was locked!’’
Nikolai looked at the team of red mercenaries then glances other to his allies, surprised and glad to see them still in one piece, he runs over to them immediately.
‘’Are you all alright?’’ Nikolai worryingly asked to them, ‘’We are alright, Nikolai, we’re relieved to see you are alright too.’’ Dempsey replied.
Team looked at the four men and Sniper said ‘’There were four of you?’’
‘’Yeah, since after Northern France, when zombies came out of-’’
‘’Was there anyone that had survived back in France?’’ Spy questioned as he detects there was something suspicious about the four.
‘’Nein, zhere are just 4 of us when Vorld Var I was still on and-’’
‘’You four were from the first World War?’’ Engineer said, wide eyed as he looked at Richtofen, who nodded as he said ‘’It is true, from vhat I can tell zhat you now zhink zhat we really have gone insane right now.’’
There was silence fell down upon the eight men in red, sharing glances at each other then at the group, then finally Scout said ‘’Are you sure that you didn’t gone to medieval times? Those times are totally insane but fun, ya know.’’
‘’Well, no we- Wait.’’ Takeo began with this sudden ‘shift’ to this conversion, ‘’Why would you ask something like that Scout?’’
‘’Well, hearing somethin’ like that,’’ Engineer spoke up in this conversion, ‘’It reminded us of the time we were medieval times and that… Now seems to be long ago now.’’
This caught the crew off guard, they actually believed them?
Dempsey then said ‘’How were you in-’’ ‘’Soldier had angered a wizard and sent us back to those medieval ages, it was crazy in that time but it was fun actually, drinking rum and having a feast while music is playing is quite wild but still... It was quite fun while it lasted before we got back to our present time.’’ Engineer explained.
They just couldn’t believe what they were hearing, Scout let out a nervous laugh and said ‘’Heh… Well uh… We’re kinda same now when hearing is other-timeline-or-world-or-whatever.’’
‘’We are the same through this madness,’’ Takeo stated, Engineer looked at the Jap with a look of ‘’I guess we are never alone after all’’ on his face and said ‘’Well now, now we know we’re not the only ones who had an other-worldly experience.’’
‘’Did ya’ll had the same experience with the wizard?’’ Scout asked, this caused to Engineer looked at him with an angry glance ‘’Scout.’’
‘’Vell, nein,’’ Richtofen said ‘’Ve had been from timeline to other zhanks to zhe teleporter but zhere is another zhing zhat had helped us get to ozher dimensions.’’
‘’And what is this thing that you are talking about?’’ Spy questioned Richtofen as he hold a cigarette just between his fingers.
Richtofen looked down for a moment then at his comrades, one of them Dempsey who looked at him and asked ‘’Did you still have it?’’
That made Richtofen realized then searches through his pockets till he felt something metal and round, he knew what it was and pulled it out of his pocket, an artifact that looked ancient yet it looked like it had been cleaned recently.
Tumblr media
Summoning Key
Richtofen sighed in relief seeing that had been with him still, Medic and Engineer looked at the object with fascinated eyes and wonder.
‘’Ooh… Vhat’s zhat you had in your hand?’’ Medic questioned as he pointed at the artifact with such curiosity. ‘’Zhis is zhe artifact named ‘’Astoth Arbzorark’’ now in translated english; Summoning Key. It is the most powerful artifact ever to exist.’’
‘’Ever to exist?’’ Medic said ‘’How did you managed to find it somewhere?’’
‘’It is a long story zhat I vill save for later after zhis, since we’re all here now.’’ Richtofen said then Spy suddenly started ‘’All but one of us at least.’’
‘’Hmm? Are we forgetting someone in your group?’’ Nikolai asked, RED Team took time to think and then they realized they are indeed missing someone on their team.
‘’Demoman!’’ Soldier yelled with the realization, ‘’We have forgotten all about him. Men! And he’s still in the lobby!’’
‘’Uh… Why would he still be in the lobby with or not with reason, Soldier?’’ Scout asked as he looked at him with a confused expression. ‘’I think he is taking a nap in the dome rooms at the lobby just before all of this started,’’ Soldier said, others looked at him with a dumbfounded look.
‘’That drunken bloody Scottish…’’ Sniper muttered under his breath with annoyance, slapping his hand on his forehead as he know Demoman would passed out drunk and he is praying ‘’He can’t fall asleep drunk in a time like this…’’
‘’Why would he be napping? That’s a bad timing for this.’’ Nikolai said with concern, crossing his arms as he looked at Soldier. ‘’Because he is an alcoholic.’’ Soldier answered as he stretched at the back of his head.
‘’Like my other self but in a different light.’’ Nikolai whispered to himself, Sniper looked at him with a questionable look ‘’What was that mate?’’ ‘’O-oh, nothing comrade.’’ Sergeant stuttered out an answer.
Sniper looked at them with suspicious look on his face, he thought ‘’There’s something strange about these wankers…’’ as he crosses his arms, he had learned from the truth about his parents and now these men from WWI with a strange powerful artifact. He needs to find out what they really are on the inside but not right now.
Then one thought occurred in his mind, Sniper looked at everyone and said ‘’Mates… Have we forgotten something?’’
‘’Oh,’’ Medic began ‘’Vell, zhere vere zombies und…’’ he stopped as he realized, others began to realize as well and turned to face the broken door, to find to their horror; there were a horde of zombies are coming to their way.
‘’You guys had a hard time with these zombies before?’’ Scout asked, ‘’Yeah, back in the digging site and a lot of run-ins in different places and right now actually.’’ Dempsey said as he reloaded his pistol.
‘’Alright then.’’ Spy muttered, then they all opened fire on the incoming horde as they all ran at them, Scout kept firing his Scattergun at the zombies as Heavy reloaded his minigun and listened to the barrel spinning.
‘’Sasha, you have a lot of killing to do.’’ Heavy said as Nikolai and Pyro looked at him after they heard the noise from the minigun then at each other with worried expressions when Heavy pointed at the zombies.
Nikolai yelled ‘’Heavy wait! Let us get out of the way!’’ as he and Pyro ran out of the way just in time before Heavy unleash a hailstorm of bullets on the horde.
The giant had mowed the zombies down as limbs are blown off by bullets and heads were ripped apart to nothing but some of it remained like some kind of a qroste painting. Heavy begins to walk forward as his teammates and 3 other men stepped away to make way for Heavy as he makes a path of destruction in his wake.
‘’Waah, WAAAAHH!!’’ Heavy taunted at the undead’s attempt to get him as he laughed ‘’Cry some more!!’’ he bellowed as others continued to attack.
Shooting and reloading their weapons as the dead kept coming in numbers.
Eventually, the numbers begins to decreased as zombies are showing up less and less as they kept firing bullets and explosives at them. Then they stopped coming.

How about something quite dark?Mercs reaction to Administrator forcing them to assasinate the new CEO of Mann co...who is Olivia Mann. ...Or maybe something less dark,like how the mercs met their mascots.(You know-Soldier's Eagle,Engie's Ein,Demo's parrot)(sorry for typos,bad at english)
BOI I’M GOING WITH THE SUPER DARK REACTION. HERE IS A STORY THAT I’VESPENT TOO MUCH TIME ON. IT IS HEAVILY INSPIRED BY SPEC OPS THE LINE!!!!
ALSO ALL CHARACTERS ARE MOST LIKELY OUT OF CHARACTER. SORRY.
But being serious there is mention of a child dying, so if that is not your thing please don’t read.
It was a simple job. Blow the building up and leave.
That was the thought that plagues Miss Pauling’s mind as she rides herscooter towards ground zero. In the distance all the young woman could see wasash and dust.
 But slowly approaching where Mann Co once stood it’s the sounds that wouldscar her.
 Walking through rubble and bodies all she could hear were the whimpersof survivors, the screams of the dying and yelling of those buried underconcrete.
 It sent a chill down her spine, to think her friends were caught in theexplosion.
 Going deeper into the impact zone all the woman could do was try to yellout, seeing was impossible, her glasses covered in dust.
 But what caught her attention was the movement in the distance. A childlike figure in the distance, slowly rocking back and forth.
 Again and again she yelled out towards the figure.Nothing.
A sigh escapes her lips as she pulls out a small pistol and approachesthe child.
 It’s only a few meters when she realizes it’s Scout.
The young man is sitting in filth, knees pressed tightly to his chest,one arm over his head and sucking his thumb.
But his eyes are something she will never forget, bloodshotand withtears pupils wide.
Miss Pauling can tell he hasn’t moved in ages, the ash that layers hisbody is perfectly level.
 She gets down to his level and starts to interrogate him.
 “Where are the others??”
 Silence.
 “What happened??”
 Silence
 “Why didn’t you leave??”
 Silence.
Scout just looks through her and with a shaky hand points towards theother members of the team, then goes on to slowly sob.
Miss Pauling moves on leaving Scout in a mess of blood and ash.
Finally she sees the rest of the mercs.
Pyro is laying on the ground looking at the falling ash, at timesputting their hand out to catch it.
Engineer is off to the side of the main group his small area he has madeup for himself is covered in vomit and blood.
For once Miss Pauling sees Soldier silent, the man holding his helmet tohis chest as if he was mourning a death.  
Heavy is speaking softly to Medic trying to convince the man to stop. Tostop performing CPR on the body of a little girl all men now know as OliviaMann.
Heavy is begging, telling Medic, that she is dead, that all her ribs arebroken. Even if they could revive her she would be brain dead.
Spy is overlooking the resuscitation, eyes focused solely on the younggirl helping Medic keep count.
Miss Pauling notes that Demoman and Sniper are nowhere to be seen. 
She breaks the silence.
“What happened??”
None of the men answer her question. All act as if they are stuck intheir own world. This isn’t good enough she needs answers now.
She grabs Soldier from his shoulders giving them a tight squeeze.
“Solider, please what happened here??”
For a split second the man says nothing, his eyes darting from the bodyof the girl to Pauling, in a few worlds explains.
“Followed the plan, discovered innocents inside and failed to disarm thebombs.”
And there it was. The reason the mercs where torn up, why they didn’tleave. As much as they put on the persona of harden mercenary,they would never let innocents die for a cause.
As much as Miss Pauling wanted mourn the loss. She had a job to do, getthese men out of here before being arrested for domestic terrorism.
“We have to leave now”
For thefirst time Miss Pauling felt panic rise in her chest.
“No”
It was Engineer who spoke up looking Miss Pauling dead in the eyes.
“We not going without Demo and Sniper”
“We don’t have time to discuss this; we can find their bodies later.”
Engineer looked away his face filled with disgust. Kicking the dirt torelease the built up angry.
“Would you do that to me??”
It was Scout, the man had dragged himself back to the others, toregroup. He had expected Miss Pauling to help search for Demo and Sniper.Instead she was going to leave them for dead.
He repeated himself. “Would you do that to me??”
 “Yes”
Miss Pauling didn’t even think, she would leave him, or any members ofthe team behind to save the others. Doesn’t mean she won’t feel bad after. Itall comes down to the needs of the many.
Scout was about to open his mouth again when he was cut off by Medicscreeching.
Heavy had dragged the man away from Olivia, deciding enough was enough.
Standing his ground Heavy took the abuse of the Doctor the yellingpunching and scratching.
Finally placing the Medic in a bear hug, as all the doctor could do wassob.
Finally Soldier moved again approached the young girl, placed her armsover her chest. Kneeling the man whispered to her.
All Miss Pauling could make out was an “I’m sorry” and maybe a prayer??
The touching words that Miss Pauling was trying to make out where fadedout by yelling in the distance. That was quickly approaching the group.
She pointed the pistol towards the voice, out of the ash steppedDemoman. Broken bottle of scrumpy in his hands, covered in ash and gunpowder.Demoman pushed pass Miss Pauling and made his way to Olivia. Slowly getting tohis knees he cried over her body.
The words “I’m sorry” and “my fault” where repeated.
It was his bombs that killed the young girl, his talent that got herkilled.
Spy approached the mumbling man.
“Demoman listen to me closely, have you seen Sniper??”
It was the mention of Sniper that Demoman froze on the spot.
“I’ve never seen him so angry”
“So he’s alive??”
“He said he’ll find us, after he finishes looking”
Miss Pauling steps in.
“What is he looking for Demo??”
“Papers” Demoman’s eyes go wide, “evidence”.
Miss Pauling’s voice cracks
“We have to leave now”
 Her wish goes ignored.
Spy looks at Miss Pauling, eyes burning into her skull.
 “Why did this building have to come down??”
 “I - I can’t tell you”
“Then tell me”
 Sniper appears from almost nowhere, holding burnt files. He continueshis speech, while handing out paperwork to his team.
 “This building came down to make the CEO’s death look like an accident.”
 “CEO??” Heavy speaks up.
 Sniper says nothing instead gestures to the little girl.
 Scout whispers softly to himself.
 “She was the CEO??”
 Spy fills in the blanks for the others.
 “Saxton Hale lost his company to Gray Mann, placing Olivia Mann incharge. The only way he would have gotten the business back is if he beat herin a boxing match… or by death”
All eyes are on Pauling, demanding answers, reasons for all themeaningless death.
“It was necessary” she explains.   
The men step in closer, surrounding her.
“With Grey Mann in charge they would have cut our partnership with TFIndustries, lots of money would have been lost. It’s what the Administratorwanted.”
The calm personality of the Engineer was gone, his voice on edge.
“We justtook out a tower, full of innocents. For money??”
Miss Pauling was trying to stay calm, keep things under control.
“Gray Co didn’t give us much of a choice; we repeatedly asked to come toan agreement.”
Heavy interjected.
“They said no, we respond by blowing up building. What happened to us?”
“Nothing happened to us” Miss Pauling snaps back “We are mercenaries”
That was the finally statement that pushed Sniper’s controlled angryover the edge.
“You turnedus into FUCKING KILLERS!”
 For allthe killing the mercs had done is their life, killing children was alwayssomething they always avoided. They were hired guns, not serial killers, notmad men.
The rageof the team was fuming; Pauling could feel the atmosphere tighten as theSnipers words echoed around them.
 “This isn’t my fault…”
The words barely more than a whisperslipped from her mouth. A phrase said more for her sake then the teams.
But the Medic had heard it.
With a screech the man had started toyell
“That’s not good enough. You fucked us.Fucked everybody. No… Everything… all this… it’s YOUR fault!”
If it wasn’t for Heavy holding theGerman back Pauling was sure that she would have been dead.
“What happened herewas out of my control.” She was arguing back, deep down she knew she doesn’tneed to justify any of this to the mercs.
“Was it?”
Spy asked.His voice calm.
“None of this would’vehappened if you’d told her no.”
That was the tippingpoint for the woman. All the anger, tension, hatred that was being thrown inher directional finally came out.
“You have no idea whatit’s like to work for her! She simply doesn’t take no as an answer, do youthink I wanted this!?”
A softquestion breaks the silence.
“Was itworth it?” Scout looks at Pauling in the eyes, he doesn’t move, just stares ashe wait for his answer.
ShamefullyPauling looks at the ground, then to the body of the young girl. She whimpersher answer out.
“Yes”
A sarcasticlaugh comes from Sniper.
“Collateral damage can be justified, if the gainoutweighs the cost. Isn’t that right Miss Pauling?”
A sighescapes her lips.
The silenceis her answer.
It can bejustified.
“I quit”
Heavy hadheard enough, Sniper was right. They had limits and morals they followed. Thisbroke every single one of them. Slowly Heavy walked away from the scene.Followed by Medic who simply waved a dismissive hand.
One by oneeach member of Team Fortress walked away.
Leavingonly Miss Pauling and Spy.
“It had tobe done Spy, you understand that??”
A pause.
“No matterwhat happens next, don’t be too hard on yourself.”
With hisfinally words, Spy left.  Leaving MissPauling alone.
This is the worst thing I have ever written. I just wanted it out of my WIP folder.
If you got through this mess of a story you are da real MVP.

Gajevy Week Au Fire Fighter
So Fun fact about this story is that my brother gave me the idea indirectly when he was coming home for fire academy training. 
Gajevy Week 
Bonus Day AU Fire fighter
Rated T for language
Gajeel stared up at the plain white ceiling of the Dragon house 4 fire station, thinking about her. It was half past midnight yet his body couldn’t sleep rather he was awaking thinking of the one person who had made him the man he was today.
Never in his whole life could he imagine that he would ever be happy, that he would ever have peace with himself and the world. He was once a fierce and formidable member of the Phantom Lord, selling drugs, doing drugs and hooking up with just about anyone he wanted to, even getting what he wanted when he wanted.
Until he met her. She wasn’t afraid of him like most people. Rather, she offered up her small apartment to him one cold snowy night, after he had been shot in the shoulder. At time she was just a nurse in training now but soon became head of trauma department. What she didn’t know after that fateful night was how he began to watch over her from the shadows and slowly she began to break his iron cold heart. She was the reason why he had decided to leave the gang and become a different man. She made him do the one thing he had never done in his life and that was fight for something. When his past nearly took her from him he did everything in his power to get her back; from that day forward he knew that she was the one.
It wasn’t easy but no that the looked back upon it he wouldn’t have changed a single thing. Now he just wanted to go back home to her, after spending nearly a two weeks since he had last seen her, thanks to the recent firestorms plaguing Fiore. He still couldn’t get the sharp smell of the burning cinder and lingering smoke out of his hair or his skin. 
Closing his eyes he pictured her, her velvet lips, soft blue hair and her creamy skin. But her eyes were the ones he would love to see the most they were a beautiful amber and full of life. Slowly, he began to feel the pull of sleep when a sharp bell yanked him from his trance. 
Without even thinking he raced out of bed and to the truck. Sliding down the poll he quickly grabbed his gear and began to put to on. 
“Gajeel there is a house fire over in Magnolia!” Natsu yelled as he put on his helmet and jumped into the truck with him.
“Do you know where?” he yelled as Sting started the truck and began pull out into the sleeping city. Without out any of the normal daylight traffic it was easier for Sting to driver faster and go thru red lights with ease. Natsu paused at what he was about to say 
“ All I know is that it’s near Sycamore road.” 
Gajeel’s breathing hitched, they lived in that area and he prayed to whatever God there was that Levy was alright. He quickly began to mentally prepare himself as Chief Laxus began to issue out orders but, Gajeel wasn’t listening. 
His heart had stopped when he saw the truck turn onto his street and stop directly in front of his own house. A large victorian mansion that he had bought from the bank at a cheap price since it was a bit of a fixer upper. But it was a beautiful maroon red that hid behind the large oak and pine trees that surrounded it.Smoke was billowing out of every crack and crevice he noticed that orange flames were escaping out of the basement. 
Without warning he blotted out of the truck only to be grabbed by Rouge and Erik to keep him from blindly running towards the smoking building,
“Let me go!” He growled “WHERE IS SHE?!” He screamed he desperately looked for her but saw no sign of his beloved.
“Gajeel get your head in the game if you want to save Levy!” Laxus snapped, Rouge and Erik released Gajeel and quickly went to help out Sting and Natsu with the hoses.  “Listen you are going in with Natsu. Since you know the lay out better you stand the best chance of finding her. From what I’m told the fire is in the basement now get your ass masked up and in there!” Within seconds he and Natsu had their tanks on and broke down his door. Smoke poured out of it’s new exit and the two men made their way in. Gajeel knew for a fact that both his woman and his cat were upstairs sleeping in the master.
“Hey we need to get out of here stat! I don’t think the floor is going to hold much longer!” Natsu said while testing the flooring with his ax.“Listen Pyro you grab Lily and I’ll get Levy.” The two made their way up and found the master bedroom with the door open and lying on the ground was Levy passed out with Lily next to her. It was obvious that she had tried to escaped but the smoke had taken it’s toll on her and his pet.
“Shit this is bad she might have been asleep when it started!” Natsu quickly scooped up Lily while Gajeel picked up Levy bridal style. A groaning and a snap echoed behind them and they realized that the stairs had gone out.“Oh fuck this is bad. Gajeel is there another way-” Natsu didn’t finish what he was about to say as Gajeel yanked him into the room and out towards a large balcony. Ivy covered the side of the large house which grew on white colored steal that had been fastened into the side.
“Get down the side and I’ll hand you them!” He yelled. Without a word Natsu made a made climb down, the moment his feet hit the ground Gajeel had tossed him Lily. Another snapping sound rang out and he looked back and saw that the flames were spreading faster than he had thought.
“Gajeel, hurry this house is going to come down any second!” Natsu hollered. Gajeel adjusted Levy so that she hung from his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Giving one final look back he saw that everything he had and every memory that was created in the house going up in flames. He climbed down and both men bolted towards the front of the house. He quickly yanked off his masked and quickly put it on her face, he realized that Levy wasn’t breathing. 
“Damn it Levy, breathe!” he begged as he began to do CPR on her. He couldn’t dare lose her again. What felt like an eternity he heard a small gasp of air saw that her eyes were beginning to open.
“Levy!” He pulled her into a tight hug as tears rolled down his eyes.“Ga-Gajeel?” “I’m here Lev, I’m here.” He whispered, a soft hand was placed on his shoulder and he looked up to see the EMT’s had arrived. Giving them a short nod he allowed the men to do their work.
“I’m going with-” He began to say.“No you aren’t Redfox you’ve got a job to do!” Laxus barked out, fire pooled into his gut as he stormed over to the Chief.“Don’t give me lip Gajeel we are here to fight this fire not hitch a ride with the medics.” Resisting the urge to knock Laxus’s teeth out he gave a sigh and grabbed another house and started to kill the fire that was destroying his home.
Time skip five hours 
Sitting in Levy’s room Gajeel waited for her to come out of her slumber. The minute the fire had been put out the whole group had gone to the hospital to check on Levy. However, only Gajeel was permitted to see her at the current moment.Ash and soot covered her face as she lied peacefully on her bone white bed. A soft knock  stirred him from his vigilant watch.
“Porlyusica.” He greeted.
“Doctor Porlyusica.” She corrected “She’ll be able to go home be tomorrow. Only a few burns and her hands and legs along with a dangerous amount of smoke inhalation.” She read from the cart.“Also tell her that she will be granted paid leave by the hospital for the next week, along with a check up needed in three.” She stated.
“Wait why does she need a check up?” He asked.“Why don’t you see for yourself.” She handed him Levy’s medical chart and as he began to read down the list he stopped at a single word.
“No way..” he whispered, Levy was four weeks pregnant. A part of him was stunned and yet beyond joyful. He was going to be a father!
“Gajeel?” A breath voice whispered. He looked over to Levy and saw that she was waking.
“Hey short stack.” He stood up and hugged her tightly fearing that she would turn into smoke and leave him.
“I’m just thankful that you’re alive.” Tears began to roll down his face as he tightened his hold on her.“I thought I was going to lose you, like everyone else in my life.” The mere thought of losing her was unbearable.
“I’m not going anywhere I’m staying right here with you no matter what,” he pulled back and kissed her hard. Her lips tasted of smoke and tears he didn’t want to let go wanted to hold her forever.
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” He demanded as soon as they broke apart. Levy paused to think for a second before realizing what Gajeel was asking.
“I wanted to be sure that I was. I had an appointment today with Doctor Porlyusica but guess that didn’t happen.” Gajeel softly kissed her as he smiled.
“I’m going to be a father!” He laughed as they kissed. 
A slight cough had broke them apart, standing in the doorway was the rest of his team and in Natsu's arm was an ash covered Lily.
“Lily!” They both happily yelled. The cat bolted out of Natsu's grasp and into the couple’s loving arms and began to purr contently.
“So Redfox when should I tell Mira that she’s knocked up?” Levy turned a bright red and Gajeel choked at Laxus’s comment.
“Just tell her to keep it small, I don’t want nothing out of control like the last birthday party she threw!” he snapped.
“Shit, where the hell are we now going to live?” he realized with their home gone they had no place to go.
 “Don’t worry I got your guys covered. Gramps is selling a private home on the edge of Magnolia. It’s got land and the house isn’t that big but for a family it’s perfect.”
“You don’t have-”
“Redfox shut up, you saved  my ass once and now I think it’s time to return the favor!” Laxus barked, soon everyone was either sitting on the chairs or on the floor to sleep. Porlyusica didn't bother kicking them out as they were all more than exhausted and deserving of the sleep. Gajeel had crawled into Levy’s bed and held her tightly. With Lily sleeping in the crook of Levy’s arm.
Hope you guys all enjoyed this story I sure as hell did when writing it!
