“You drove eight hours over a phone call?”
“If it meant you might be on the other end of it?” Ricardo asks, “Of course I did.”
Remember how I drew this like five months ago and said “I’ll post it when I update my fanfiction as a little treat!” and then got so swamped with school that I just didn’t post another chapter until today?
Because GOOD GRIEF
Anyways. Enjoy.

I like to headcanon that Ric knows exactly how much trouble he’s in based on what name Ryker calls him in his anger Ortega being the worst

There was some trial and error when Ryker started learning how to interact with dogs (aside from petting them while he makes the owners look away)

What if, and bear with me here, I just draw the same exact picture as last time? But this time I give Ortega the muscles he deserves. But also forget 90% of Ryker’s scars and Ric’s Mods

Fellas, is it gay to tell your boyfriend best friend of over a decade that you’re in love with him during your confession of not being human?

No one’s ever had the guts to bring up where he picked his name from except for @the-cooler-sidestep’s Hadley who called him out immediately

Short one-shot based off this post by @noahlivingston . Thanks for the inspo!!
The Rat King
Words: 881
Fandom: Fallen Hero: Retribution
Pairing: Chargestep, M/M
Warnings: Mentioning of suicidal ideation
Blurb: “ Ryker puts down his fork, sliding the plate away a second later, the discussion ruining whatever little appetite he had left, “You know, you’re not going to like the answers to all of these questions.” “
“What is it? The Rat King?”
Ryker closes his eyes, the regret immediately dog piling him. It had been a slip of the tongue, and now he knew Ortega wasn’t going to let it rest. “They-“ he stresses the word, “are five sisters, who are also five little rat brains in a tube that are connected telepathically. And yes, their name is The Rat King.”
“And you put them in Vital’s suit.” Ortega’s watching him when a strange look in his eye. Something like curiosity, but mostly caution. Afraid if he pushes too much, Ryker will shut down.
“They help me keep everything straight.” Ryker admits. “They can keep on eye on the environment and fill me in on things going on around us when we’re in a fight.”
“Where did they come from?”
Hmm. Another question he doesn’t want to answer, but he’s also tired of lying to Ortega. Was this really worth getting into? Maybe he should just refuse to answer the question, but that also doesn’t sit right with him. Here he was, with halfway healed legs, living in Ricardo’s apartment, already having admitted to being a villain that put Ortega in the hospital. And here was Ortega, still taking care of him, not arresting him, doing his best to understand him and his choices.
“Do you…” his mouth suddenly goes dry, how to explain this without giving Ricardo a heart attack? “You remember the Psychopathor.” Not a question, but he waits for Ricardo to nod anyways, “Do you remember his cannon? And the targeting web it used?”
“From when he nearly killed us? Yeah. Telepathically linked rodent brains.” Ortega says, recalling Ryker’s statement word-for-word, even though it was thirteen years ago. “How’d you get it from him?”
Ryker puts down his fork, sliding the plate away a second later, the discussion ruining whatever little appetite he had left, “You know, you’re not going to like the answers to all of these questions.”
“There’s a lot of things I don’t like,” Ortega replies, something like a smirk on his lips, “doesn’t mean I don’t want to know.”
Ryker sighs, heavy, filled to the brim with resignation. “I… stole it from him.”
“How?”
“Well. Do you remember a year ago when the… Special Directive tried to take him in?”
“Yeah, attacked a warehouse he was liaring in, if I recall?”
“Right.” Is all Ryker says
Ortega connects the dots faster than he expected, “You called the Special Directive on him!?”
Ryker shrugs, trying to project aloofness, “Yeah. Snuck in during the fight and stole it.”
“Ryker! ¡En serio!?” Ricardo’s face goes through all five stages of grief in just a few seconds, “You called the people who are actively looking for you and told them where you were!?”
“They didn’t know it was me!” Ryker hisses, keeping his voice down, as if they were back on a mission, trying to keep the argument from alerting enemies. “I told them where they could find the Psychopathor, not me.”
“But you were there too!” Ortega hisses back “Do you even realize how dangerous-“
“Of course I did!” Ryker interrupts, “But it’s not like I could fight him by myself!”
“Why didn’t you call The Rangers?!” The disbelief on his face makes Ryker want to cringe into oblivion, “At least the you wouldn’t have run the risk of getting captured again!”
“Why would I!?” Ryker folds his arms over his chest, “You and Chen would’ve recognized me with a glance- I wasn’t, I didn’t-“ words were starting to fail him. How was he suppose to explain that the thought of seeing Ortega again, and having to face the possibility of Ortega not caring that he was alive, was more terrifying than the thought of being recaptured was? The Farm was good at that, at making him feel worthless, at convincing him that everything he ever had with Ricardo was lie. He hadn’t been ready to face that reality. “At least the Special Directive just sent in other Re-Genes. The Handlers wouldn’t get that close to the fighting, my chance of being recognized was astronomically lower by calling them than you.”
Ortega visibly swallows down a retort, choosing instead to run both hands through his hair. “No puedo creerlo.” He mutters, “Eres idiota.” The Spanish continues on for several more seconds before Ricardo returns his gaze to Ryker, who pointedly looks away. “You could’ve gotten killed, or found, or taken-“
“But I didn’t.” Ryker says, “And I got The Rat King. Everything worked out.”
Ortega flops back in his chair, near boneless, seemingly having aged ten year in a single conversation. “You’re going to be the death of me.”
“And myself, probably.” Ryker jokes, but it doesn’t land. Ortega just fixes him with a hard stare. Ah, right. He had forgotten Ortega also knew about his suicidal ideation. That subject was no longer on the table to be joked about. He waves his hand through the air, trying to swipe the bad vibes out of the room, “It’s fine. It worked out, I’m alive, and I have The Rat King.”
Ortega sighs, thinks for a moment before shaking his head. “I suppose. Just- be more careful? In the future?”
“I…. Will do my best.” Ryker says, and for once, it’s not a lie.

I was tagged by @westealtoys (thank you! This was a lot of fun!) to make an OC in this doll maker and to see what role they’d be in a horror movie via this quiz
I made Ryker, and I’m sure this experience would only make his mile wide guilt complex a thousand times worse
I’ll tag @photocopyrat @the-cooler-sidestep and YOU reading this, if y’all want to, of course! No pressure, but tag me if ya do! I wanna see:)
