Work takes up sooo much time so I don't get to write as often, but pls know im still working on longer stuff!!
I just had an idea that I can't expand on cause i work in 30 minutes, but:
Nikto and reader were previously enemies on opposing sides and nikto obliterated you, like, hits you with a fucking explosive. At least he thought.
You're body is recovered, and take my sci-fi loving ass with a grain of salt but, you are refixed with 'new' parts. Aka, artificial limbs, organs, synthetic skin. Any part of you that was outrageously damaged was replaced with new life-like robotics.
And imagine if you are then, years down the line, recuited for Nikto's PMC and he, for the first time in his life, is horrified, scared even. At first he thinks he's seeing shit, because he remembers your face. He was sooo sure you were dead as hell tho, so... HOW THE FUCK WERE YOU STANDING IN FRONT OF HIM. The way your eyes seem to slightly glow unnerves him. everyone you meet knows theres something uncannily wrong with you, even if the higher ups insist you're human.
And like, you remember Nikto. But you're not mad, you don't feel much of anything, that part of you was not focused on when putting you back together. and that makes it actually worse for poor Nikto. You act so normal around him, especially since you're teammates, and he feels so guilty but you just stare at him with those cold eyes and ask him questions, always focused on work, never anything but work from you. And he's always forced to answer. You're a strangely grim reminder of his actions.
