#Sterilization Monitoring Market
Text
Monstrous Part 2
Part 1
CW: Experimentation, injuries
Everything hurt. A thousand needles under the surface of Hero's skin, plunging deeper and deeper, into muscle, organs, bone.
She shrieked, surging against the many sets of hands pinning her to the gurney. Beakers and test tubes shattered; one of the monitors began to smoke. Hero caught a glimpse of hands over ears and the mess of blood and feathers blanketing the floor before being shoved back cheek first into the table.
"Where's my sedative?" shouted Dr. Penn. His familiar, harsh hands had Hero by the scruff of her neck, making her dizzy with the almost strangling pressure.
"I need stitches!" cried another voice.
"Shut up, Lancaster!" Penn barked. " You're the one at fault! Sedative then serum! How many times do I have to say it?"
"That thing attacked me!" Lancaster cried, voice as sharp as his blood on the otherwise sterile air.
A rush of rage surged through Hero's burning body, and she flapped her wings violently, breaking a few of her captors' hold.
"Will somebody bind those things down!" Penn said.
Another set of hands forced her wings into an expert fold, tearing loose a few feathers along the way, then wrapped the binding strap so tight it ached. "We should just cut the things off," the new scientist said. Dr. Sunfield. Hero shuddered involuntarily. The woman's threats were never empty.
"Yeah? And then how is she supposed to get around?" Penn snarled. "The bus? We all agreed on a mobility element."
Sunfield gave the restraints an unnecessary tug, causing Hero to shriek. "They weren't supposed to get so big. She looks like a blasted vulture."
"They're only going to get bigger. The rest of her too. Her growth plates are still showing on the x-rays."
Sunfield cursed. "This is a disaster."
"At least she's been useful data."
Something sharp and stinging plunged into Hero's neck, followed by a nauseating chill that washed from head to toe. The sedative at last. She wasn't sure whether to be scared or relieved. The pain would finally stop, but what else would they poke her with while she was under? The scientists loosened their grip, and she took advantage of that to swing her claws toward Penn's voice. Her limbs were already more sluggish than she'd realized. The doctor caught her wrist, giving her fingers a bone-cracking squeeze before stroking her limpening knuckles with his thumb. His other hand tucked her tangled hair behind her ears. "Besides, we were asked to give the city something to get rid of Supervillain, and that's what we did. She may be monstrous, but a monstrous masterpiece nonetheless."
"The city can't market monstrous. There's backlash from the citizens every day, and that cuts into our funding."
"Don't worry." Penn's voice seemed to slow and stretch, and he dropped Hero's arm with a dull thud. "The next ones will be heroes the city can trust."
Hero shot upright. A sharp pain shot through both temples, and the melty, slanted surroundings immediately slumped her back onto her elbows. She squeezed her eyes shut and waited for her head to stop feeling to heavy for her neck.
"Oh! You're awake," came a drawling masculine voice. It sounded roaring. "How do you feel?"
Hero winced. "Floaty." She dared crack her eyes and squinted around the room. Shelves and shelves of alcohol and jarred olives glistened in the weak orange light. A faint electric buzz resonating from the metal door on the wall adjacent hinted at a refrigerated room. She rose slower this time, hoisting her aching wings shut and swinging her legs over the side of the rickety cot.
"Wait, wait! Don't pop your stitches; they're still fresh!"
A figure leaped up from the ground at the cot's head, and Hero slowly recalled his tangled hair and lean stature.
"Where am I?" she demanded, more threat than question.
The man held out his hands, the one she’d clawed now wrapped in bandages. Once again, he didn’t seem particularly put off by her behavior.
"Backroom at Foghorn. It’s a bar. Particularly for upstanding citizens like myself. People are always crashing here when they get into scraps. They have more medical supplies than my place. Better pain medication. That's probably what's making you feel floaty."
“You kidnapped me,” Hero snarled.
The man shrugged, a motion almost like rolling his shoulders, like brushing her off and getting ready to stand his ground all in one. “I hate to argue with a lady who could probably turn me inside out, but you did pass out in the middle of the street. So any 'kidnapping' on my part was really nothing more than a rescue effort."
Hero gave the man a hard look. Rescue effort? She wasn't buying that. People didn't rescue things like her. Not without a ten-foot pole. And this guy didn't look like the trimmed poodles the labs or the agency usually sent to spy on her.
“What’s your motive?"
“No motive," the man said. "I was in the area.”
“You said we’ve met?”
The man grinned whipping a business card from the inside pocket of his shirt and rolling it over his knuckles and--with a bowing flourish-- into her hand. “Villain. You killed my old boss.”
She blinked at the unimpressive piece of cardstock, blank but for a nicely typed name and a phone number. His words sank in slowly.
Ah. A criminal. And one of Supervillain's mess. She'd taken out all the big players, so he must have been telling the truth about being in the background.
“You want revenge then?” she said. That made more sense. Watching her die in the street would have meant nothing to him. He had to save her and break her himself. Inflict the same pain she inflicted on--
“No, we threw a nice little party after you left." Villain plopped crisscross at her feet. He rested his cheek in his hand and stared casually up at her. "Honestly, the boss was suffocating, but what can you expect from someone with a chokehold on your life."
"You...wanted me to kill him?"
"You mean did we want rid of the giant gun at our heads?"
Hero bristled a little at the sarcasm. What did she know about villainous politics? She was just given a problem, and she got rid of it.
"With Supervillain it was black or white," Villain continued. "Ally or enemy. And you did not want to be an enemy. So ally it was. Pawn is closer to the truth. No, we can finally spread our wings--if you'll excuse the analogy--without being seen as competition."
He leaned in conspiratorially.
"If I may be so bold, I think I've had a little crush since the moment I saw you."
Hero slammed the cot against the wall with a metallic crash as she stood, looming darkly over Villain's bony curled-up frame.
"Shut up."
Villain's brow knit together. "Of course, I don't expect anything from that confession, I simply wanted to say the way you just ripped into him was fantastic. And your voice. That precision! You were--"
"Shut. Up."
This time Villain did flinch. Hero took some satisfaction from that. It was a little frightening when the tired and true defenses didn’t work.
“I can take a beating. They make jabs about me every day on television, and that's fine. But I will not be made fun of. I won't be the butt of your sick, simpering jokes. Or are you trying to manipulate me? You think you can flatter me, and I'll fall over myself to help you? I am not an idiot."
Villain opened his mouth, and Hero braced herself for more lies. Maybe her guard showed on her face because slowly he shut it again, fixing her in a steady hazelnut stare. Eventually, he tipped his chin at her. "I'll get some ice for that wing."
Hero turned her head over her shoulder. The aching wing had begun sliding back toward the floor. She attempted to lift it against her back again but a sharp electric pain stopped her short.
"Here." Villain touched her lightly on the shoulder, drawing her out of her wince. He held out a frozen pack of fries from the refrigerator room. “It’s not much, but better than nothing.”
Hero glared but snatched the pack from his hand. The cot creaked as she dropped back on the edge and slowly extended her wings to the dusty concrete. Her feathers pulled a little against the dried grime, and she had to strain to press the cold to the aching joint where wing connected to back, but it did help.
Villain's eyes still didn't stray away; they actually looked more focused glued to her wings. What was his deal?
"Your wings," he said slowly. "Does it bother you... I mean...would you like something to clean them with?"
Hero glanced at greasy, blackened ends, dredged with oil and refuse. She fought down a grimace. Yes, it bothered her. It was sticky and crusted and uncomfortable, but it wasn't the first time she'd dealt with this sort of discomfort. At least it wasn't blood.
"I'm used to it," Hero grumbled. "They're always hard to keep clean."
"Can't you get them wet?"
What was with all the questions? If he really had no motive, why didn't he leave already?
"Yes... But most showers aren't exactly big enough for a full wingspan. And public shower rooms are not an option when you look like this." She gestured at herself brusquely. "The labs have a sanitizing room when I really need it."
Villain nodded slowly.
“I had to do the stitches to save you," he said. "But I didn’t want to touch you any more than I had to without permission. But if it's bothering you, and if you don't mind... You can tell me if it's too uncomfortable but..." He pointed to the dirty wing. "May I?”
Hero's first impulse was to blow up again. To shout a resounding no and ask what his real intentions were. Maybe he really was a spy, just biding his time before he incapacitated her. It was certainly up Sunfield's ally to force the labs' hand at retiring her. But then again, he could have done that when she was knocked out.
“Whatever.” Hero turned to the side so the grimy wing drooped more fully on the floor.
Villain hopped to his feet a little too giddily. "Don't move, I'll be right back." He skirted past the storage shelves and pushed out into the business side of the building, a sliver of the loud chatter and clinking glasses slipping inside before the door swung shut again.
Hero closed her eyes for a moment and imagined the bustle going on just on the other side of that wall. It was probably the closest she had ever gotten to a place like this, at least, without crashing it. How would they react if she were to step out? Would they leave? Would they try to finish her off?
Another bit of cacophony escaped through the swinging door.
"Ooookay!" Villain called. He set a large bowl of soapy water and clean washcloth on the ground and settled down beside it. As he outstretched his hands, he hesitated. "You're sure? You're not going to claw me to death or anything like that?"
"I only claw criminals who cause me problems," Hero said. "So you're safe. For now."
"Goody," Villain grinned. He carefully dragged the wing into his lap, squeezed the excess water from the washcloth, and gently got to work on the worst patch or street gunk.
Hero looked straight ahead.
Warm water trickled between her feathers, triggering a shudder that set each one on end. She fought the urge to close her eyes against the gentle rake of his fingers. She hadn’t known someone could touch her without pulling or prodding.
"Ok?"
"Mm," Hero grunted with a short nod. This wasn't just a quick swipe of the rag; he was sifting through each and every feather. A cleaning like this, by hand, could take hours. Hero never signed up for that. She didn't have that time. But for now--she fought another shiver--it was fine.
“I wasn’t making fun of you earlier,” Villain said quietly, dunking the rag into the bowl again. “I’ll shut up about it if you want me to, but I hate there being a misunderstanding. I really do think you’re beautiful. Like an angel.”
“More like a demon," Hero scoffed. Maybe the doctors had been right all those years ago. She was a disaster. Nothing like the pretty heroes in the limelight these days. She was only good for slaughter, and she hadn’t even done that right tonight. The agency would be mad when they found out her target got away, and her injured in the process.
“I don’t think so." Villain lifted a chunk of feathers with the back of his hand and wiped gingerly at the undersides. "Maybe everyone is just too narrow. And you need the space to fly."
Hero snorted. "Wooow, clever that one. Take you long to think it up?"
"As a matter of fact, it came right off the top of my head. I’m full of clever thoughts. With Supervillain gone, I’m going to use them for myself. Soon enough, I won’t be able to get off your radar even if I try.”
“And you’re excited about that?” Hero finally looked back him. He looked far too pleased with himself. “You know if I’m the one after you it usually means death, right?”
"Well…it would be nice to see you. Maybe you’ll change your mind. Or maybe I’ll escape.”
Hero crooked a disbelieving smile. “Not likely.” She abruptly withdrew her wing, pulling the numbed joint in so it folded properly against her back. As she stood and took a couple steps a new wave of dizziness rocked the floor but she shook it away. “Well, wing’s feeling better. I’m leaving."
“What?” Villain scrambled to his feet. “You shouldn't be flying on a sprain. Besides, there're all sorts of creeps ‘round these parts when it’s dark. You should stay here at least til sun up.”
"Creepier than you?"
“Ow, you don’t want to hurt my feelings, do you?”
“I’m pretty sure I can handle it.” Hero took a few more dizzying steps toward the door, but Villain jumped in front of her, arms spread.
“You have fresh stitches; moving around to much will be a bloody mess. That means no fighting. I forbid it.”
Hero rolled her eyes. “Well if a complete stranger says so, I guess I better listen.” She tried to dodge around Villain, but he echoed her steps with only a quarter of the sway.
“You’re not an idiot. You know I’m right. You shouldn’t fight in your condition, and if you go outside it will end in a fight.”
Hero hesitated, and Villain took the opportunity to press on.
“I might have said we appreciated what you did, but not everyone likes you like I do. So just a few more hours. When it’s light, it’ll be clear to go.”
Hero stared into his determined eyes. Really, what was his deal? She didn't even know him, so why did he care so much? Especially when he should see her as an enemy. But...he was right. She didn't really know where she was, and flying on this wing did not seem like the greatest idea. And she'd had enough scrapping for one night. Plus, the room would not stop tilting.
"Fine." She stormed back to the cot and rolled onto her side, cramming her wings against the wall behind her. If what Villain said was true, she didn't trust turning her back to the door. "I'll wait until sun up. And then what?"
"I'll escort you."
"Suit yourself." Hero squeezed her eyes shut, effectively ending the conversation. After a moment, she heard the rustle of Villain settle back down at the head of the bed.
She only meant to close her eyes for a moment. Just until Villain stopped looking at her. But before she knew it, she was sinking into the dark folds of sleep.

How would Poe react if you sewed something for him? 👉👈 idk what, something nice or something silly. I think he'd appreciate it and I feel like he might be someone who's always giving gifts to ppl and no one thinks to get him anything.
Made With Love
Poe Dameron x Reader
TW/CW: None! Fluff!
A/N: As someone who sews a lot (sometimes by hand when I need to calm down) this is something I'd totally do askbdlsh
💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
You cursed as the needle slipped and pricked your finger, bright blood welling up in a tiny pinprick before you squeezed what your boyfriend designated your "blood-sponge".
It was just a spare chunk of fabric you sterilized every time you began sewing, because stabbing yourself with the thin little metal slivers was always inevitable. You had more callouses from hand-stitching and embroidering than you did working on fixing consoles and electronics.
You were an analyst, not just the person who repaired the much-needed tech for the Resistance.
A battle analyst, statistical analyst, a "tech jockey" some called you--but many simply knew you as Poe's "partner in crime" as you oversaw many of his flight missions and dogfights.
You tied off the last stitch and held the fabric up to the light.
Poe's last scarf had gotten torn to tatters in a cantina brawl; so, the next time you were planetside, you hit a local market and scored some nice fabric to knit him a new one. It was a wonderful pass-time for you, especially if you were stressed out. The repetitive motion of seeing and embroidering soothed your mind enough to relax. Once, Poe had even caught you passed out with a half-patched shirt clutched in your hands, your head lolled back on your chair, the angle making you snore loudly.
Poe actually had BB-8 snap a holo of it. He still says it's his favorite holo he has of you--completely relaxed and at peace. (Although the pain in your neck was awful when he picked you up and laid you in his bunk.)
The scarf you had made Poe this time had the Resistance emblem embroidered in bright colors to match his flight suit, as well as a tiny BB-8 next to it.
Just then, the voice of one of the air traffic monitors buzzes through your comm; "Hey, tech jockey. Your boyfriend's squad is back. If you high-tail it now, you'll be able to make it to the hangar before they land."
You grin and jump to your feet, folding the scarf and stuffing it in one of your deep back pockets as you made a mad scamper, scrambling to lace your boots back up to make your way to the hangar.
💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
"Poe!" You giggle excitedly, shouting across the hangar as the mechanics carefully extract BB-8 from Poe's X-Wing.
Poe turns to you with a grin, spreading his arms wide as you throw yourself into them; his thick limbs wrapping around you in a tight hug, picking you up and spinning you around with a very nice welcome-home kiss. May have had a bit too much tongue on his part, but you were just happy to have him back and be in his arms once more.
BB-8 trills at you as he sets you down nudging your leg affectionately, and you reach down to pat the little mech's cranium. "Awww, hey lil buddy! I missed you too!"
Poe grins again and slips an arm around your waist, his dark eyes glimmering mischievously. "So... How's the best analyst in the Resistance been doing since your handsome boyfriend has been doing suuuuper important scout work, eh?"
You roll your eyes and snort. "The usual, you goof. I've actually had a bit more downtime, lately. General Organa actually smacked me on the head and told me to go and get some rest when I overworked myself."
"Oooh, not surprised there. She's scary when you don't do what she says." He snickers, kissing your cheek again. "Anything else?"
You gasp, remembering your present, and fish it out of your fatigues. Poe tilts his head curiously at you, then, as you pull out the scarf.
"Here! I finished it today!" You chirp proudly.
Poe takes the scarf with his eyebrows raised high, holding it up to examine it. He grins when he spots the little bits of embroidery you did for him; BB-8 beeping happily and bumping into your shins affectionately when he spots his likeness in the fabric.
"Do you like it?"
"Like it?" He says, his brow furrowing and his lips pursing tightly. At his expression, you feel a lump of anxiety well up in your throat.
It is quickly quashed when he grins once more, his eyes lighting up as he slips the scarf over his head and hangs it from his neck, flicking the edge over his shoulder and striking a dramatic pose.
"How's it look? C'mon, tell me. Does it bring out my eyes?" He said, waggling his eyebrows. "I bet I can use it as a disguise!"
You clap your hands and laugh, "Poe... How would that even work?! People can still see your face!"
He pulls up the edge of the scarf and covers up the lower half of his face and nose, but you can still see his lips peek out from the fringe.
"Not if I hold it like this!" He says.
You roll your eyes and shove his shoulder playfully, "You're not funny, Flyboy."
"Heyyy! I'm adorable." He argues humorously, wagging his eyebrows once again. "And handsome, and talented, and--"
BB-8 cuts him off with a dismissive trill, tweeting as his antennae bob.
"You're right." You nod at the little astromech. "He is full of himself, too."
Poe clutched his proverbial pearls, gasping in offense at the two of you.
"Ow! Whose side are you on?!"

Save Her (Part Two)
Leon Kennedy x Reader
Summary: Y/n has been rescued and is now in the hospital.
CW: hospital equipment, breakdown, Leon is tired but he wants to comfort her more.
Monitor beeps were the only source of sound in the hospital room. The lights are dimmed, and the air is cold. The sterile smell is a very familiar one for Leon. He stares at Y/n as she lays in the bed, sleeping somewhat peacefully. Besides the occasional flinch and breath hitch. Leon frowns, gently holding her hand and rubbing her knuckles with his thumb. His eye bags are only growing darker, even now that he has her back. He can't seem to sleep, he just needs to keep watch. The nurse steps in and gives the man a sympathetic smile. As she walks over to the bed, she begins taking notes of her vitals.
“Mr. Redfield is in the hall. He wishes to speak with you, Mr. Kennedy. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on your wife.” She says quietly, earning a nod from Leon. Sure she's not his wife yet, but now more than ever he wants her to be. With one last glance at Y/n, he lets out a breath and stands. Chris awaits him in the hall, his arms crossed as he leans on the wall. Seeing Leon step out of the room, he walks over with a look of concern.
“How's she doing?” He asks softly, noticing his friend's tired state. Leon runs a hand through his sandy blonde hair, looking up at Chris.
“She's stable, just hasn't woken up yet. They're coming up with a recovery plan.” The blue eyed man explains, holding himself. Chris frowns and gently sets a hand on his shoulder.
“She's gonna get through this, you both are. With how stubborn you guys are, there's nothing that can push you apart.” The brunette states, giving Leon a smile, also with a firm look in his eyes. Leon chuckles and nods, he then yawns, his body swaying a bit. Chris keeps a grip on him just in case.
“You need to sleep, Leon.” He states, though is met with a defiant groan.
“I'll be fine, has Rebecca found any new information?” Leon asks as he glances around. The hall is partially empty, but the sounds of beeping and nurses can be heard further down. Chris nods and takes out his phone.
“Actually yeah, with the information collected from the main computer, she was able to find some files of their projects.” He shows Leon his phone, revealing photos of bioweapon parts and blueprints.
“These are all work in progress- well- they were at least. They're used for either personal gain of the company underground, or to auction off on the black market. Rebecca and Hunnigan were pretty spot on with their guesses.” He continues to explain, Leon takes a good look at the photos. He nods a bit, squinting his eyes as he notices a note on one of the blueprints.
Her blood could be useful for the new tyrant.
His fists clenched as he read it, how much blood did they take? What kind of fucked up experiments were they putting her through? Leon looks at Chris with a fire in his eyes. “Were they all killed in the explosion?” He asks. Chris puts his phone back in his pocket as he clears his throat. He takes a moment to compile a good answer, knowing Leon is on edge.
“We took out a good amount of them, but it seems a couple of the leaders managed to escape. We did catch one of them, he's in containment but isn't talking.” The shaky breath that escapes Leon is clearly him trying not to snap. If he got more involved, he would only cause more problems. Right now, the priority is Y/n. Chris and Rebecca will handle the rest just fine.
“Once she starts to show more improvement in her recovery, we’ll get you both in a safehouse.” Chris begins to explain the new safety procedure they put in place for the couple. Of course with Leon being one of the best agents, he'll be able to protect his fiancee. However, Ingrid still wants him to check in with Chris constantly in case anything happens.
“We do still have to think about the fact that they may be after her because of her relationship with you. That could mean you're both a target, so we'll have a radio to check in every day, and I won't be too far out.” The bulky man finishes, Leon nodding in understanding. It's hard to ignore the fact that he almost fell asleep during that explanation. Then the sound of screaming can be heard from the room behind them, Y/n’s room.
Leon tenses up instantly and rushes into the room with Chris following. Y/n is struggling in the bed, her panicked eyes scanning quickly around the room. All she sees is white walls, an IV in her arm, and a hospital gown on her. The nurse is doing her best to hold her down while calling for help. Leon goes over the side of the bed.
“Y/n- baby hey- it's okay!” He says loud enough for her to hear over the panicking. He gently grabs her face to get her to look at him while Chris tries to keep her from hitting the nurse. Y/n cries as she looks at Leon, her body trembling as her breath is fast. Seeing his bright blues causes her to pause for a moment, none of the scientists had eyes like those, most of them were brown. Leon gives her a smile, rubbing her cheekbones with his thumb.
“You're safe now, you're in a hospital. This isn't a dream, we're right here with you.” He assures softly, wiping away her tears. Her e/c eyes are glossy and wide, but as she begins to calm down, they droop.
“Not a- trick?” Her voice is brittle, more high pitched than usual too. It makes Leon and Chris’s heart hurt.
“No, honey. No tricks. I'm never leaving your side again, okay? I promise.” His tone is filled with determination as he holds her close. Y/n’s whimpers are muffled by his shirt, clinging to him for dear life.
“I wanna go home.” She begs, but deep down she knows it's not that easy. Leon sighs a bit as he rubs her head.
“I know, baby, but we can't yet. I want you to be free of pain.” He speaks softly into her ear. Meanwhile, Chris is back in the hall with the nurse, speaking with the doctor. He and a couple other nurses came when they heard the shouting.
“While three weeks may seem short, it definitely left long lasting effects, both mentally and physically. She's weak, to put it simply. She's lost a few pounds, and she's dehydrated, there's bruising from incorrect needle injections. More bruising and scratching from being assaulted. The list goes on, she's going to need at least a week here. We have a mental health specialist scheduled to meet with her in the morning. We hope to get her some nutrition, and with the pain meds we're going to provide, she'll probably be in and out of sleep or even loopy.” The doctor explains thoroughly, Chris listening intently. He nods his head in understanding, crossing his arms.
“Will her fiance be able to stay with her?” His voice is rough, but he keeps a very calm expression. He's worried for his close friends. When Leon introduced Y/n to the group, she was a literal ray of sunshine. Her smile can be so enlightening. She's funny and kind, a good balance to the wild life that they live. He'd never seen Leon so happy. Seeing her in such a state, it's heartbreaking, it was almost hard to recognize her. And knowing Leon, he has- and will continue to- out her before himself. He's selfless like that, but he's torn himself apart trying to get her back. They both need rest.
“We can allow that, especially seeing that he can keep her relaxed. The last thing we want is to scare her more.” The doctor answers with a sympathetic smile. Chris smiles in appreciation before going over some paperwork with them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a/n: thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this part! I'll try to have the next part out soon, life has just been kicking ass😅

Jungkook: 𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐌𝐘 (6)
In which you're the one on the table, getting your little operation to finally free you- and equally bind you to the person you yourself chose to stay with- and yet Jungkook's the one that's most on edge.
Tags/Warnings: Mafia!Jungkook, Hybrid!Reader, mute!reader, Angst, Fluff, Slight humor, Crime and violence, mentions of kidnapping, graphic description of adult content (violence, smut, Jungkooks questionable interrogation tactics) strangers to lovers
Additional Chapter Warnings: mentions of surgery, anesthesia + aftereffects of it, nervous Kook, mild Angst, mostly fluff
Chapter Length: mid
<- Previous | Next ->
♥━━━━━━━━━━━♡━━━━━━━━━━━━♥
"She will be completely fine. I've only got her on that thing, so she's basically only on local anesthetic. As soon as I turn this off-" Seokjin taps a small tank of gas. "-she will begin to wake up again." He nods. Jungkook doesn't look up. He's got your hand in his while you're laying on the table, basically, looking around without a clue as to what's going to happen.
Last time someone was on that table it was himself- and he almost died.
"She will be a little foggy, though, because I'll have to put her on heavy pain meds the first few hours. The base of the tail is connected to the spine after all - that's a delicate and very sensitive area." He explains. "And I also doubt you'll do good seeing her in pain."
"No-" Jungkook immediately cuts in, making you look now at the sound of his voice. "-do what you have to." He says quietly.
"Alright." Jin nods. "Sweetheart, I'll put this on alright? Just keep breathing normally, even when it makes you sleepy." He informs you, and you nod, letting him put the breathing mask onto you.
It'll always creep Jungkook out how people.. loose consciousness, be it death, be it like this, or even sleep. He hates seeing people fall asleep. It reminds him too much of death.
It looks too similar.
Similar only, because people don't just fall and close their eyes. Some scream, some cramp up, others will scramble like zombies trying to survive. It's truly terrifying, even for someone like him. It never becomes routine.
But when you close your eyes, he watches. It's like he has to. He can't let go of your hand. Stays in the room, eben when Jin prepares everything around you.
"Hm, it's not old, that's for sure." The man explains as he works, trying hard to keep everything sterile. "Black market stuff though. That's not a brand I've ever seen." He mumbles around, eyes fully concentrated while Jungkook keeps staring at your sleeping face.
You don't belong in his life, and at the same time, he couldn't think of anyone who could live at his side better than you.
Maybe he also just wants to pacify himself, his inner demons that constantly nag at him about your safety.
"Jungkook?" Jin catches him, pulls him out of his thoughts. "Dont worry, nothing bad. But I'm wondering if you've seen these scars on her back?" He wonders.
Jungkook furrows his brows, shakes his head. He's not seen you naked, so how would he have seen them?
"Why?" He asks seriously letting go of your hand for a moment as he lays it next to you carefully, before walking around the table. "What about it?"
"They're surgical scars." Jin explains. "They're precise. She either had this procedure done many times, or she's been through more vile things than we initially thought." He tells the jounger man, who suddenly feels nauseous. What have they done to you?
Suddenly, your tail twitches, and you seem to choke into the mask, leg kicking out. It instantly scares Jungkook into an almost panic. "What's happening?!" He exclaims, demands, as he pulls the mask from your face. His mood especially worsens when you whimper, long, drawn-out sounds that aren't loud but will probably still haunt him in his sleep.
"I'm not sure." He scrambles, instantly fumbling to look at a monitor that's measuring your heart rate and blood pressure by the clip on your finger. "Wait- talk to her!" He suddenly demands.
"I- what?" He asks, confused before he leans down to your now pinned back ears and scrunched up face, trying to speak through your endless whining. "Hey, I'm here, you're alright." He tries to help, holding your hand again.
It all stops, almost instantly.
"My God, that little gremlin gave me a God damn heart attack!" Seokjin complains, holding onto the edge of the table.
"What happened?" Jungkook asks.
"You let go of her hand. I guess she somehow noticed, unconsciously, and panicked." He explains, as Jungkook calms down as well now.
"Let me get that chip in, though, before she wakes up." Jin mumbles after a moment. "She might notice that one, so, just as a heads-up." He sighs before preparing the device he's gonna use to push the chip beneath your skin. It's oddly almost the same as used for pets- but neither of the men think about it too much. There's some things that just won't change. Can't change. It reminds me that you're not human. Not seen as equal in society.
As soon as the chip is in, you squeak and twitch a little again, but jungkooks hands instantly try and soothe your sleeping mind. He whispers soft praise to you, holds onto you, makes sure you know he's still here.
Before he lifts your hand to his lips, uncaring of who sees him vulnerable like this as he speaks.
"Dont worry." He says, his other hand running over your head. "You won't ever be alone from now on."

Last Monday of the Week 2023-10-23
Testing the limits of my kitchen
Listening: I've been using my enormous playlist of Japanese Jazz Fusion as background music at home. This is Galactic Funk by Casiopeia.
youtube
Reading: There's a great PBS video on insect metamorphosis that debunks the whole Butterfly Soup thing and explains the much, much more bizarre truth: even before they enter a chrysalis, caterpillars have started to develop butterfly parts inside their bodies. Big chunky caterpillars contain a half-built butterfly. Inside the chrysalis they simultaneously dissolve the remainder of the caterpillar parts and finish the butterfly on the existing scaffolding.
youtube
There's a great paper referenced in that video which is this one, which is about findings from time-lapsed 3D CAT scans (which I guess makes it 4D) of caterpillars as they pupate.
There's actually quite a few interesting papers on following metamorphosis with modern imaging technology, including a big old thesis that I have only just started to dig into and that I do not understand.
Watching: Nothing.
Playing: I got a little obsessed with Bullets Per Minute, a rhythm FPS roguelike. Well, more of a tempo FPS roguelike, since you have to fire, reload, jump and dash on a very regular 88bpm 4/4 rock/metal soundtrack. Here, I've cut some clips together.
Hell of a lot of fun, I've been in the market for a really fast paced shooter. I tried to replay Titanfall 2, which is good. I also had a good time playing Warframe missions I was way too high level for, eventually I remembered watching the ZeroPunctuation on this and picked it up.
BPM feels great and is also a really fascinating old-fashioned indie roguelike. The game has almost no tutorials, you just get dropped into levels. Items have absolutely bare minimum descriptions and no hard numbers, the fan wiki is full of notes very clearly the result of trying to puzzle out exact damage numbers and percentile improvements from the player side of the game.
It is not hostile though! Very forgiving accessibility options if you aren't great with rhythm and good difficulty modes. I've done two full clears on normal difficulty and like with most roguelikes, that was a product of familiarity and getting the Good Items early in my run (thank you infinite ammo + revolver)
Making: Made a full spec Wedding Meal (vegetable biryani, dal, and soji) for Friends over the weekend. Easier than I expected! A lot of prep but not actually that time consuming, as long as like me you're good chopping one million vegetables.
Also finished hacking on monctl to have a command line interface. It allows fast USB control of a Gigabyte monitor. I have started poking at Display Data Channel to better generalize monitor control because I want to get a second monitor soon but this works great for now.
Tools and Equipment: If you have a dishwasher you should pretty much always use it to wash, even if it's only half full. Your dishwasher probably uses under 12 liters of water to do a full wash cycle, less on Eco modes. You are almost never going to beat it for economy or sterilization, so the only things you should wash by hand are things you either cannot put in the dishwasher (e.g. cast iron) or things you need washed right now.

I’m alive! And I’m gonna be rewriting/reworking Dimensional Disaster- editing our cast, practicing how I draw them, working on the story, etc. So I will be working on it again soon!
For now, though, I present y’all with a close look at two of our main protagonists: the redesigned Kailani Hale, from a tech-reliant universe, and the revived Alex Mckay, who in the story originally comes from the small town of Perfection, Nevada in a universe that isn’t quite as perfect.
Kailani Hale
Kailani originally comes from a futuristic, technology reliant universe run not by a government, but by a major corporation known as MATRIX. MATRIX is the sole producer of anything and everything technology-related throughout the nation. They control internet access, the media, the economy, the political systems, everything. They keep everything going.
Kailani wasn’t exactly someone at the top of the food chain in this universe- think, the middle man. She was a project manager and head engineer, supervising major projects that would be put into circulation nationwide and monitoring the work of those beneath her. She worked alongside the Directors to put new concepts on motion and improve the company for public favor. She was a neutral party in this world.
Until she stumbled upon a project that the owner and founder, Joseph Alt, had been working on behind the scenes. Project D-100, it was called. A device that resembled a pocket watch, able to open doors to hundreds of different dimensions.
She only meant to take a look; she was only curious how it worked. But that didn’t mean anything when the alarms went off, when security guards pursued her down the halls of the laboratory, shooting with the intention to kill.
Kailani ended up using the device to escape, and ended up in a completely different universe, just as it was intended to work. The only issue was…she didn’t know how to get back to her own universe. And there began her journey through dimensions, exploring and gaining friends across the fabric of the universe.
That’s how she met her best friend, Alex.
Alex McKay
Alex McKay hails from Dimension TR-3M0R, a seemingly normal universe to anyone who didn’t know better.
Nothing dystopian or utopian about it. Just the regular earth, regular people, regular little towns.
Alex is a young woman who moved from Bixby, Nevada to Perfection, a little town in the middle of nowhere to start her life after college. She started her own little farm, with small numbers of livestock and crop to live sustainably and sell to others either in town or the next town over. She got on well with her neighbors, like the old guy who turned his house into a bunker and the girl who ran what was formerly Walter Chang’s Market.
Life was great. Until she found herself face to face with an infestation of giant sand worms that the town lovingly called Graboids. That’s right. Alex comes from the Tremors universe, where the Graboids roam and the Shriekers and Assblasters get blown up into a pulp.
Alex did eventually grow accustomed to the weirdness of Perfection, to watching out for El Blanco the sterile Graboid and warding off other strange creatures. She thrived out in the small town, even in chaos. And then she met Kailani.
•

•
I’m going to make a comic of how they met eventually. For now, have lore :D

Horseshoe crab blood is vital for testing intravenous drugs, but new synthetic alternatives could mean pharma won’t bleed this unique species dry
- By Kristoffer Whitney , Jolie Crunelle , Rochester Institute of Technology , The Conversation -
If you have ever gotten a vaccine or received an intravenous drug and did not come down with a potentially life-threatening fever, you can thank a horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus).
How can animals that are often called living fossils, because they have barely changed over millions of years, be so important in modern medicine? Horseshoe crab blood is used to produce a substance called limulus amebocyte lysate, or LAL, which scientists use to test for toxic substances called endotoxins in intravenous drugs.
These toxins, produced by bacteria, are ubiquitous in the environment and can’t be removed simply through sterilization. They can cause a reaction historically referred to as “injection fever.” A strong concentration can lead to shock and even death.
Identifying LAL as a highly sensitive detector of endotoxins was a 20th-century medical safety breakthrough. Now, however, critics are raising questions about environmental impacts and the process for reviewing and approving synthetic alternatives to horseshoe crab blood.
We study science, technology and public policy, and recently published a white paper examining social, political and economic issues associated with using horseshoe crabs to produce LAL. We see this issue as a test case for complicated problems that cut across multiple agencies and require attention to both nature and human health.
youtube
Protecting horseshoe crabs will require persuading the heavily regulated pharmaceutical industry to embrace change.
An ocean solution
Doctors began injecting patients with various solutions in the mid-1800s, but it was not until the 1920s that biochemist Florence Seibert discovered that febrile reactions were due to contaminated water in these solutions. She created a method for detecting and removing the substances that caused this reaction, and it became the medical standard in the 1940s.
Known as the rabbit pyrogen test, it required scientists to inject intravenous drugs into rabbits, then monitor the animals. A feverish rabbit meant that a batch of drugs was contaminated.
The LAL method was discovered by accident. Working with horseshoe crabs at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, in the 1950s and ’60s, pathobiologist Frederik Bang and medical researcher Jack Levin noticed that the animals’ blue blood coagulated in a curious manner. Through a series of experiments, they isolated endotoxin as the coagulant and devised a method for extracting LAL from the blood. This compound would gel or clot nearly instantaneously in the presence of fever-inducing toxins.
Academic researchers, biomedical companies and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration refined LAL production and measured it against the rabbit test. By the 1990s, LAL was the FDA-approved method for testing medicines for endotoxin, largely replacing rabbits.
Producing LAL requires harvesting horseshoe crabs from oceans and beaches, draining up to 30% of their blood in a laboratory and returning the live crabs to the ocean. There’s dispute about how many crabs die in the process – estimates range from a few percent to 30% or more – and about possible harmful effects on survivors.
Today there are five FDA-licensed LAL producers along the U.S. East Coast. The amount of LAL they produce, and its sales value, are proprietary.
Bait versus biotech
As biomedical LAL production ramped up in the 1990s, so did harvesting horseshoe crabs to use as bait for other species, particularly eel and whelk for foreign seafood markets. Over the past 25 years, hundreds of thousands – and in the early years, millions – of horseshoe crabs have been harvested each year for these purposes. Combined, the two fisheries kill over half a million horseshoe crabs every year.
There’s no agreed total population estimate for Limulus, but the most recent federal assessment of horseshoe crab fisheries found the population was neither strongly growing nor declining.
Conservationists are worried, and not just about the crabs. Millions of shorebirds migrate along the Atlantic coast, and many stop in spring, when horseshoe crabs spawn on mid-Atlantic beaches, to feed on the crabs’ eggs. Particularly for red knots – a species that can migrate up to 9,000 miles between the tip of South America and the Canadian Arctic – gorging on horseshoe crab eggs provides a critical energy-rich boost on their grueling journey.
Red knots were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 2015, largely because horseshoe crab fishing threatened this key food source. As biomedical crab harvests came to equal or surpass bait harvests, conservation groups began calling on the LAL industry to find new sources.
Biomedical alternatives
Many important medicines are derived from living organisms. Penicillin, the first important antibiotic, was originally produced from molds. Other medicines currently in use come from sources including cows, pigs, chickens and fish. The ocean is a promising source for such products.
When possible, synthesizing these substances in laboratories – especially widely used medications like insulin – offers many benefits. It’s typically cheaper and more efficient, and it avoids putting species at risk, as well as addressing concerns some patients have about using animal-derived medical products.
In the 1990s, researchers at the National University of Singapore invented and patented the first process for creating a synthetic, endotoxin-detecting compound using horseshoe crab DNA and recombinant DNA technology. The result, dubbed recombinant Factor C (rFC), mimicked the first step in the three-part cascade reaction that occurs when LAL is exposed to endotoxin.
Later, several biomedical firms produced their own versions of rFC and compounds called recombinant cascade reagents (rCRs), which reproduce the entire LAL reaction without using horseshoe crab blood. Yet, today, LAL remains the dominant technology for detecting endotoxins in medicine.

The main reason is that the U.S. Pharmacopeia, a quasi-regulatory organization that sets safety standards for medical products, considers rFC and rCR as “alternative” methods for detecting endotoxins, so they require case-by-case validation for use – a potentially lengthy and expensive process. The FDA generally defers to the U.S. Pharmacopeia.
A few large pharmaceutical companies with deep pockets have committed to switching from LAL to rFC. But most drug producers are sticking with the tried-and-true method.
Conservation groups want the U.S. Pharmacopeia to fully certify rFC for use in industry with no extra testing or validation. In their view, LAL producers are stalling rFC and rCR approval to protect their market in endotoxin detection. The U.S. Pharmacopeia and LAL producers counter that they are doing due diligence to protect public health.
Change in the offing
Change may be coming. All major LAL producers now have their own recombinant products – a tacit acknowledgment that markets and regulations are moving toward Limulus-free ways to test for endotoxins.
Atlantic fisheries regulators are currently considering new harvest limits for horseshoe crabs, and the U.S. Pharmacopeia is weighing guidance on recombinant alternatives to LAL. Public comments will be solicited over the winter of 2024, followed by U.S. Pharmacopeia and FDA review.
Even if rFC and rCR don’t win immediate approval, we believe that collecting more complete data on horseshoe crab populations and requiring more transparency from the LAL industry on how it handles the crabs would represent progress. So would directing medical companies to use recombinant products for testing during the manufacturing process, while saving LAL solely for final product testing.
Making policy on complex scientific issues across diverse agencies is never easy. But in our view, incremental actions that protect both human health and the environment could be important steps forward.

OPEN 01 : PHANTOM PAIN.
Damn, it was that late already? ——— gold hues peeked their way from the monitor's blue light, pretending to ignore the quest plastered across the screen. He accepted it, naturally; there was every ounce of confidence in him that it would take five-minutes tops, and maybe that’s what made it lack appeal so severely. An endless loop of redundancy until a fated release to deliver salvation from impending boredom. It was so boringly un-funny that it became hard to imagine he’d ever make it out alive from the same-old same-old. This was the bed he made, senselessly plundering through main story without a second thought, and now he’d have to sleep in it. Not that it made the itching restlessness any less noticeable.
No matter where eyes land, it’s difficult to ignore the elephant in the room; no new releases means less content to stuff minds with. There’s a vapid difference between casually playing games to kill time and immersing yourself in all it has to offer to drown out everyone if not everything. Not even a decent DLC graces the presence of latest gaming, like, how is that even possible?! With a market as new and diverse and advancing day-by-day… With that news, not even the sweetest of DIY candy kits can lift moods for the collective group, but Idia especially.
An idle stretch states his ultimate point; maybe it was time for bed, or at least to rest the few muscles he had used. In activities pause, the soreness bit hard enough that a ( previously ) quiet presence of tender muscle was slowly reaching the point of insufferable. Frustrating, but to be expected, much to any nerd's dismay. Maybe he had been craving a break all along. Arms locked behind his head, exhaling shakily before rising from his chair with a pop that shakes —— breaking down at 20 years old?! Just what was his health stat last left at?! It was hard to determine whether or not that came from his spine or his hip, dubiously lucid, bending palms-down over the desk to at least shut off the computer and pick back up where he left off later. No way he had the brainpower to sit through an extra hour of grinding, no matter the difficulty LVL.
Whirring shuts to silence. THAT leaves only two light sources left; the one from his hair, and the one from his phone, preemptively tucked into his hand, and it’s duty as a light source being taken lukewarmly serious before an unceremonious flop onto his bed, offering no effort made to attempt crawling beneath the duvet. A duvet not even made for the day because re-making it every day was way too impractical. Clothed enough that the dorm’s sterile chill hardly registered, so unless he really wanted the extra boost in warmth, that was also pointless, yet dwelling on that of all things seemed more draining than previous attempts at entertaining himself.
“Crimson-shiiiii............”
A groan so distressed anyone would think he was asked to repeat the year. Clicking open his phone aids his pouting. Even Crimson was busy! Crimson! His online comrade, his number one virtual confidant! Placing blame there though wasn’t the idea; with a family like Crimson’s, work would definitely be cut out for him too. Ortho alone was a handful. A welcomed handful, though. Idia was left to assume the same about the other's family.
Fingers scroll shiftless through messages, none received since midday yet craving a response, lazy or not, and lips tug into a grin while skimming back through older messages, shiftless scrolling taking him back far enough to re-live the messages from the moment. Memo to Idia; when they return, they've got raids planned and scheduled.
Focusing on the suggestion rather than drowning in sulk eased the gloom, anyway. Not that sitting in pitch-black save for an ever-dimming amalgamation of flamed light presented itself as an 'happy place' of any kind, but it was better than turning on the lights to uncloak the fruits of his ( to be honest, dysfunctional ) labor.
