DW - UNNAMED AU - CHAPTER ONE

!! writing under cut !! TWS // Possibly disorienting descriptions, Ichor as blood, and generally a very angsty time //

Astro's fur bristled against the icy air, his breath forming clouds in front of him. Despite always feeling cold, this time it was different - a bone-chilling discomfort that seemed to worsen with every step Shelly led him on.

"Vee isn't safe," he said, his voice betraying more worry than he wanted to show. Shelly paused beside him, her eyes scanning the ground before her shoulders stiffened.

"They'll recognize you," she spoke in an attempt at reassurance, adjusting her bandana before resuming their walk.

"Just try not to panic when you see them," she added quickly, and Astro could hear the fear in her tone. He hurried to catch up, the sound of his claws clicking on the frigid floor echoing through the hallway.

The harsh fluorescent lights flicker above as they walk through the dimly lit hallway. Black streaks cover the concrete walls, giving off a strange odor. Astro glances at them, his star-shaped eye flashing with each flicker of light. He reaches out and grabs Shelly's shoulder, causing her to flinch. She turns to face him with a stern look, waiting for him to speak.

"Are you sure about this?" he asks, his voice wavering as the star in his eye continues to flicker.

Shelly musters a weak smile and nods before turning towards the large steel door in front of them.

The numbers on the door seem familiar.

"When have I ever been?" 

[825]

Why are they so familiar?

Astro swallows his worry, nods, and lets Shelly approach the door.

He watches as she comes up to the odd tech to the side of it, her eyes darting across it before she sighs, reaching into her pocket.

“Don’t tell Dandy I have this.” She mumbles as she pulls out a card of some kind, pushing it into the slot. Astro catches sight of a photo of Dandy on it, getting closer and feeling a bit more comfortable with the situation. 

If Dandy helped with this, it couldn’t be that bad.

Shelly inserts the card, seeming used to this whole process as she wiggles it in place a little bit, and a low, mechanical thrum starts from behind the wall.

The door slides open with a hiss, revealing a dimly lit corridor stretching into darkness. A gust of frigid air rushes out, making Astro shiver involuntarily. The cold intensifies, seeping against him through his blanket.

Shelly hesitates for a moment, then steps through. Astro follows close behind, his star eye casting an eerie glow on the walls. The door closes behind them with a soft thud.

As they press forward down the dimly lit corridor, Astro's eyes are drawn to the eerie symbols etched into the walls. They seem to pulse with a malevolent energy, causing a sharp pain to shoot through his twisted and scarred dark side every time he gazes upon them. Each step forward feels like a weight pressing down on him, as if the symbols are tightening their grip on his mind and soul.

"Shelly," he whispers, "what are those markings?"

She doesn't answer, her pace quickening. Astro struggles to keep up, the cold slowing his movements.

Without warning, a deep rumble reverberates through the narrow corridor, sending vibrations through the walls and floor. The sound is accompanied by heavy, metallic footsteps that grow louder with each passing moment. Astro begins to regret following Shelly down this path, realizing now that it may have been a mistake.

He had assumed Shelly was just shaken up about Vee's sudden disappearance and had made up some kind of story. But as a low hiss of steam fills the air and Shelly visibly relaxes at the sight of it, Astro realizes there may be more to her actions than he initially thought. Perhaps she had done something beyond drawing on the wall in frustration.

The metallic scent of machinery lingers in the air, mixed with the faint smell of oil and grease. The red glow of hot metal emanates from around the corner, signaling the approach of whatever is making those loud footsteps. A sense of danger hangs heavily in the atmosphere, causing Astro's heart to race as he braces himself for what is to come.

Shelly steps forward, and Astro has to fight with his instincts telling him to grab her back.

And then… something comes around the corner. A sick mockery of them.

Their limply dangling head is propped up by a jagged metal pipe that serves as their neck, the once crisp and sophisticated bowtie now tattered and stained with an ominous substance that seeps from the symbols painted on the wall. Their upper half is crudely attached to their lower half with thick, oily strings of ichor - the same foul liquid that spills from any injured toon.

Though their screen is dark, it's clear they are aware of their surroundings. The burning red metal arms emit a low hissing noise as they cool down while inching closer to Shelly. With each creak from their disjointed body, they sit in a hunched position, their knees drawn up towards their chest.

Shelly takes a step forward, but before she can react, Astro swiftly moves in front of her, his one eye narrowing into a menacing glare at this imposter posing as their long gone partner.

"Astro-" Shelly begins, but her words are cut short by a sharp clicking sound emanating from not-Vee. The grotesque amalgamation tilts its head at Astro, as if studying him.

Confusion furrows his brow as he looks from the strange creature to Shelly. His breath mists in front of him, the air freezing around them. "What is this?" he finally asks, feeling a mix of fear and curiosity. Shelly doesn't answer right away, instead pushing past him to place her sharp claws on top of the creature's head.

"Vee," she states simply, her voice almost reverent as she gazes at the twisted form before her. Astro flinches, expecting an attack, but the creature remains calm under Shelly's touch.

For a moment, all is still and silent except for the sound of their breathing. Then, Shelly's lips curve upwards into a genuine smile - something Astro hasn't seen from her in weeks. She kneels down in front of the creature, placing her hand lightly on its chest as if offering comfort or reassurance.

Astro knits his eyebrows together and hesitates, unsure of what to do. Shelly notices his hesitation and her face contorts with desperation as she reaches out her hand to him.

"Please," she pleads, and he exhales heavily before reluctantly extending his hand towards hers. She pulls him closer, and he kneels down next to her. He looks at her with uncertainty, and she nods slightly, letting go of his hand to gesture towards Vee.

He shakes his head, refusing to comply, but her gaze turns into a glare that brooks no opposition.

With a sigh, Astro places his hand against their chest, next to Shelly's. The corridor falls into a tense silence.

He knows deep down that this can't be them, but it feels so real. The sound of their breathing matches Vee's perfectly. The whirring of their mechanical systems is the same sound that used to lull him to sleep every night when he and Shelly would lay on their chest to prevent them from working themselves to death.

Astro tenses up, feeling like this is some cruel trick. But then Shelly places her clawed hand over his shaking one, steadying him without saying a word.

"It's okay," she manages to choke out through tears that are threatening to spill. And in that moment, Astro can hear the pain and longing in her voice, mirroring his own feelings. It's all he can do to not break down alongside her.
