#Nettle's got a bit of fondness for chao anyway; she had to take care of Chocola (who seems perfectly fine in Heroes) after all; is in a way | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

I'm awful at finishing things so I'll post these now

AU; Metal (I think eventually renamed Nettle, she/her) joins Team Dark after Sonic Heroes and is 'rehabilitated' by doing crime that isn't murdering Sonic specifically. She operates as guy-in-the-chair/occasional field operative/co-manager of Rouge's casino/bouncer for Rouge's casino. She can still shapeshift; and goes between the 'working clothes' of Neo and the more compact form that takes less energy to maintain and doesn't have to bend/turn sideways to get through doors.

I think Rouge is hinting to her that she wants a 'guest' either escorted off the premises, or off the mortal coil. TD is definitely not Beyond A Spot Of Murder here, although to be fair it's usually kept to spies, fasc, and CEOs (so,, fasc) Obviously they don't work for GUN in this and they frequently come at odds with them. They're pretty well bankrolled for whatever operation they want to do between the casino, Metal's handiness with financial management (had to bankroll that massive fleet, after all,) profits from missions/hits, and Metal jailbreaking Eggman tech constantly for use or sale.

Still, they're decently nice folks for the most part. Rouge is kinda Team Mom, and has a real knack at soothing the savage (and autistic) beast/robot, mostly because nothing can phase her and her patience is saintly. She taught Omega her gardening hobby and they enjoy that time together. She encourages the 'hogs with their pet chao. She's aroace and a pallid bat to me :)
