What would 043 do if Roxana got "taken"? Kinda.

Someone (*cough* 13-12 *cough*) convinced her to head to a different universe to run some experiments with a couple of random inventions. The pair lost track of time.

(@eod-agent-13-12)

043 would go completely, utterly, terrifyingly ballistic.

They are the most feared assassin in their world and a good few others, they've brought the Gladiator of Zoraxis to his knees, they command a squadron of the most terrifying, deadly individuals their world has to offer.

And whoever the fuck took their Roxana is going to have hell to pay.

The destruction that is wrought by a guard dog is only contained by the leash held by it's handler.

And that leash snapped when Roxy went missing.

[the-one-and-only-043]

*Roxana gets a mysterious envelope in the mail. No sender but it does appear that whoever sent it put it in personally. The brand and type were something she was familiar with.

*The sender is particularly sneaky with no fingerprints. But there were no traps.

*Inside is a note in handwriting she doesn't recognize. But it is written in glittery pen that she knows 13-12 uses for personal notes and "unofficial" papers.

I have some "blackmail" for you, Dr. P!

*Attached to the note is a bunch of photos of 043, the van squad, etc. all hanging out and being silly. All of them seem to be stolen shots and sometimes mildly embarrassing. Not really "blackmail-worthy" but it can cause some embarrassment if others were to see them.

(This is @eod-agent-13-12 / 13-12 sending Roxana their stolen shots of their sibling's chaos and stuff.

[She raises an eyebrow and snorts.]

Oh, you sweet summer child... This is nothing compared to what I've got on these dumbasses's drunk escapades.

[She's absolutely going to put these in the family photo album.]

[the-one-and-only-043]

Whumpees who flinch.

The ones who always expect the worst to befall them no matter what because that's all they've ever known for years. Even now that they've been rescued.

So when Caretaker makes a sudden move or when some loud noise sounds or something unexpected occurs, they flinch. They take steps back immediately.

Especially when they're nervous wrecks and they can't help but be constantly on edge.

A phone pinged for a text message? Flinching every time.

A loud noise in the kitchen? Cowering.

Someone lifts a hand to reach something up high? Eyes squeezed shut, ready for the blow to land.

Nervous, anxious, flinching whumpees.

[the-one-and-only-043]

I’m having death-loop thoughts again-

So, the thing with some of those IEYTD levels is they are hard. I have spent the upwards of an hour in them before while trying to solve them, and with ones like the Death Engine that have a time limit that only becomes longer.

Which means a death-loop Phoenix who’s constantly dying and being resurrected has spent hours upon hours on these missions. And by proxy, has spent hours with these operatives.

Do you think they got to know Solaris on that Death Engine? Making small talk to pass the time before the inevitable re-discovery of them being an Agent? Do you think maybe they grew fond of Solaris passionately rambling about calculations and space and laser blasters as they finagled with the Gravity Controls?

What about hearing Caliente and Hivemind? Do you think maybe they got back and updated Caliente’s file to have his bee allergy written down? Do you think they remember all of Hivemind’s seemingly endless bee puns?

What about the time they spent on Juniper’s jet? Or at his party? Hours upon hours of conversation that only Phoenix knows.

What about Handler? Phoenix spends so much time with the guy, and with their death loops that would only double, if not triple.

“Kinda like that-“

“Alien we met with the Russians?”

“Yes! Exactly- wait… you were on that mission?”

“Something like that.”

[the-one-and-only-043]

Oh my god it is!!!! This is definitely them at like- the start of the relationship

Compared to now, which is more like "HEY BABE I KILLED LIKE FIVE PEOPLE TODAY" "Good job sweetheart, don't get blood on the carpet"

Odysseus: Penelope I am not the same person you fell in love with, I have done terrible things to get home. I understand if you can’t accept the monstrous things I have done-

Penelope: cool, could you please move this wedding bed

Odysseus: what, no!

Penelope: that’s my husband

Odysseus: Penelope I have killed so many

Penelope: I don’t give a shit

Odysseus: I sacrificed my crew-

Penelope: And I would’ve done the same

Odysseus: I am covered in the blood of the suitors

Penelope: and you look fantastic

Odysseus: I TORTURED A GOD ON HIS OWN WEAPON

Penelope: and that was incredibly sexy of you

Hey, 043,

Just writing this before the year ends, you know?

Happy New Year! I'm so glad to have met you and spent time with me! It's an honor to be your sibling and well, I hope we have more happy memories next year.

Best wishes on your marriage and hope next year will be better!

Your younger sister,

13-12

*043 knows this is 13-12 writing this. Additionally, it was added with tiny doodles on the border, along with a few photos of 043 during their adventures. They are quite good with candid shots.

(Leo, Happy New Year! I'm so happy to have met you this year! You're awesome and I'm so glad to have met you! I hope next year will be even better. ✧⁺⸜(●˙▾˙●)⸝⁺✧ *tosses affection towards you!* )

[Don't even talk to them, they're going to be sobbing in a corner for the next thirty years /silly]

(Same here! You're really cool and I'm glad you exist :D *affection bazooka muehehehehehe*)

[the-one-and-only-043]

Us fr

*gets down on one knee* I want to make a shared oc universe with you

[the-one-and-only-043]

(@eod-agent-13-12)

*During one of the days 043 scoops 13-12, 13-12 clings to them and never let go before falling asleep.

*How would 043 react to finding out they/the ways they carry them are now an unofficial nap spot?

In this order, they would:

Cry a little (Their sibling feels safe enough to nap on them)

Be very happy (Their sibling feels safe around them!)

Find somewhere comfy to lie down (because to hell with walking around like this, what if 13-12 wakes up?)

Get comfy (Blankets! Blankets galore!)

Fall the fuck asleep as well (They're tired, shush /silly)

[the-one-and-only-043]

I'm just imagining Wyvern calling Mags like

Wyvern: ...I need your help.

Magnus: What did you do?

Wyvern: ...Nobody died.

Magnus, totally unfazed: Good, that means I don't have to bother with the extra forms.

Bonus points if Win is in the background like "what did they do this time -_-" /silly

@agent--shadow @agentwraith @blueorchid-95 @eod-agent-13-12 @phoenix-and-found-family

Your agent needs a lawyer. Who in the squad are they calling?

Nix is calling Smitten. He figures Smitten could 1) handle the paperwork, 2) not chew him out too badly, and 3) clear him of the arson charges that totally weren't his fault. How dare you.

A Simple Lullaby

13-12 visits 043 after hearing they aren't feeling too well.

Content Warnings: Implied Dissociation, References to Past Trauma, Hurt/Comfort

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey, 43, I heard from the robots you weren't doing too well." 13-12 knocked on the bedroom door. "Your Roxy let me in but I'm giving you a warning just in case."

There was no answer on the door, causing 13-12 to worry even more. "Hello? I'm heading inside if it's alright!"

13-12 opened the door, only to see their older sibling curled up in the bed, dazed as the elder of the two's mind wandered elsewhere.

043's eyes were furrowed while they tried to keep their eyes shut. The pain was nothing new but it didn't mean it was any less tormenting.

"43? You awake?" 13-12 approached, footsteps light but audible enough to not cause their sibling to startle. "Ate? Brother? Kuya? Sis? You in there?"

They can only groan in response, trying to stop the whimpers escaping from their lips.

"... Should I call Roxy?" Their eyes widened, hand slowly hovering their forehead to feel for any sign of a fever. "Not a fever at least."

"13?" 043 muttered, golden eyes slowly cracking open. "N-no. She's currently working on something important." A cold sweat dampened their dark hair.

"Do you need anything?"

"Not really. I'll be fine. Just-" they dropped a bunch of expletives. "Just one of those days, you know?"

"Time loops taking a toll on your body?" 13-12's brown eyes softened, akin to sweet chocolate as they gently held onto their hand. A doting look etchrd on their face when they see their sibling nod. "Got it. Want me to be here? You don't have to do a thing. I just wanna be here."

043 only responded by holding onto their hand and clinging to them.

"I'm here. You're here. You're not there anymore. You're home." 13-12 whispers, scooting over on the bed slightly and slowly sat on the side to remain close. "There's no danger here. It's safe."

Memories of a better time soon flashed in 13-12's mind as they gently tucked away 043's hair away from their face after wiping off the sweat.

Before any of them realize, 13-12 started humming a lullaby. 043 was yet to understand the words but they know the phrase "tahan na", the root word for "home". A place of peace and safety.

The phrase a parent or older sibling might use to pacify a crying child after a nightmare.

Because it was over. The nightmare was over. They're no longer there.

The two Phoenixes were teary eyed by the end of the song before hugging tightly.

".... Thank you, 13." 043 clung to them, trying to ground themselves that this is now. They're not in that place, or in space, elevator, or even volcano.

They're in their bedroom, younger sibling in their embrace in the middle of the morning of a nice day.

And it will be a nice day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you liked the hurt/comfort!

Airport timeeeeee if I was more gay not ace I would attempt to be the mysterious person in the corner of an airport bar in a sexy way, but since I’m ace I shall be the mysterious person in the corner of an airport bar but in covered in blood way

[the-one-and-only-043]

Yeah no you're not wrong

They're very much better about it now, but they used to be VERY full of Trauma

Living weapon after they're rescued part 2

[awkward whumpee vibes]

Always checking to see if they did something wrong.

Whumpee is talking but they trail off as they realize everyone is staring at them. "What... What was it this time? The part about the crushing?"

Whumpee getting so terrified of losing this new-found safety that they start creeping around on eggshells trying to be invisible. It's too good to be true and they just want the illusion to stay for as long as possible.

"You can pretend to be my friends, lie to me, torture me, but I will never tell you what you want to know." "Whumpee, I just want to know if pepperoni sounds good." *Long pause* "...Is that like a meat thing or...."

"oh, fuck, i'm sorry, I got blood on your rug, shit shit shi--" "WHUMPEE YOU NEED STITCHES!" "Yeah but I can heal and the rug--" "forget about the damn rug!"

If someone raises their voice, whumpee flinches and responds with a "yes sir" before they can think a out it.

Protesting too much. "I don't take orders from you."

"I'm not just an asset!" "I'm not saying you are, whumpee--" "then put this back, I don't need nice clothes to have the same rights as you!"

"whumpee, you can stop looking out the window every five seconds. We're in a safe zone." "Yeah, for now," whumpee glances out again.

Patting people's backs to see if they're wearing a wire, disguising it really well as just sincere friendliness and warmth

And then losing all that when they sit down and take out their gun and just set it on the dinner table. "....What?" Whumpee frowns in confusion. "Can I not clean my gun? Do I not get to have my own weapon?"

"whumpee, can you not spray wd-40 right next to my plate. I'm eating here." "Come on, it's not even that poisonous. besides, this gun isn't gonna clean itself."

"Can you not have dinner like a normal person?!" "Already finished."

*whumpee points out a tactical advantage* "Calm down whumpee, it's just snakes and ladders." Whumpee stares at the board, feeling their sense of usefulness drain away.

Going over the times they were completely badass until it gets annoying.

When they realize they're only good at killing. And they almost want to go back to it, because at least then they had a purpose.

[the-one-and-only-043]

[They smile.]

Why the hell not.

contrary to what is believed zoraxis actually has better benefits than the agency including but not limited to: all holidays off, at least a months worth of vacation time—fully insured dental, eye, health—etc etc idk i’ve never worked a job before /silly

[the-one-and-only-043]

How is your Zoraxis horrible? Well, you can elaborate or not. It depends on you.

Whoo boy.

Alright, I figured this one would come sooner or later.

Alright, so to start- I was kidnapped at 18, experimented on, tortured brutally, and forced to kill hundreds of people over the next five years.

I was not the only one. I was just the only one who could revive.

Sans used his authority to keep an iron fist over everything, often using the DJD (assassin team) to hunt down and kill dissenters.

I was kidnapped again, along with twenty others. I had a computer brain replacing my human one. I died eight times during the process. When I woke up it was to a strange program wreaking havoc with my body.

I was the only one out of twenty to survive the Eidolon project and remain sane.

One employee's three-year-old son was killed to teach him a lesson.

There's more than that, but that's all I can talk about right now without breaking down. Hope this helps.

Don't join Zoraxis. I'm not saying to join the Agency instead, but please, for your own sake-

Don't join Zoraxis.
