So far I've explored two to three platonic yandere aus, but I think it's time I introduced another one. Now, this one I've worked on for about two or three years. I've mentioned liking dark alternate universes and such, and this one was one of the first I've made! Now, I've tweaked it over the years, giving it "reboots" when needed, updating previous concepts or rewriting what could be improved on. It was a bit of a passion project, helping me stretch my imagination in new directions I hadn't explored. So may I present: The 🌑DarkestNight🌑AU!
This au is in which we explore the dark side of the platonic yanderes of Marvel. In an event that ended with the apparent death of their bby, the platonic yans fell into darkness. The heroes and villains alike, whoever knew their bby, banded together, to form a new group. This one took control over most of the world, and they held an iron grip over everyone under them. They only saw it as fair, as just. They were making the world better, they believed, getting rid of anything that would harm them or whoever they deemed innocent... But... there was no denying they were strict, dangerous... anyone who stood up to them or intervened was quickly silenced... and even the few heroes or villains who might have tried to stop them soon joined, one way or another... all seemed lost...
Until... a small bit of hope was shed...
Someone found something... a hidden facility, forgotten and left alone... and when they go to investigate... they find their bby, kept alive in stasis, unaged and unaware of what has happened after they were gone...
• The place is too quiet. They notice this as they walk through the dark, cold halls, shivering for a moment. It feels like something out of a horror movie, with its countless shadows and endless corridors. This place was only recently discovered, by complete accident. And it seems it was kept that way for good reason.
• They were sent to figure out what could be so important about this place, to investigate what could be hiding within its foreboding walls and labs... But so far... nothing they found made sense. There weren't many guards they had to deal with, only a handful in the security office... And they didn't even know what they were guarding in this creepy facility. They were dealt with soon after...
• They had some guesses as to what could be contained in this place... and none of them were good. Every room they check turns up empty, every cell and lab abandoned... it feels like whoever worked here had something they wanted to hide... The halls remain empty though, not a trace of anyone to be found.
• Yet just as they reach the end of the halls... they find a clue. A dimly lit stairwell is there, leading further below the initial floor. They warily approach it, peering down into it. Flights of stairs seem to go down endlessly, each one darker than the one before. There isn't much they can see from up here... but if this place is still hiding something, chances are it's down there, hidden away from the light of day. And so they descend...
• Each floor they pass is blocked by thick, heavy doors, a small sign next to it labeled with what used to be done on that level... Security... Genetics... Testing... Experiments... They shudder when they pass that floor. They've experienced enough to know that what happened behind that door was nothing good... and as they reach the final level... they find a door different than the rest... It's just a thick slab of metal, with no sign next to it... or a handle... The air has a sense of foreboding... the lights above barely reach down, leaving them in near-complete darkness. They inspect the door, carefully checking for any way to open it, and soon hear a click... And the slab of metal whooshes up, revealing a secret floor...
• And it soon becomes clear that what they were doing here was never meant to make it out. Papers and files lay scattered across the tiles, pale in the lights that now flicker on. As they adjust to the sudden brightness, they notice the scratches covering the walls, as though a fight happened down here. They inspect the room, then move into the hall beyond it... It is beyond freezing, a burning cold that leaves one shaking... but it leads them to another room, tucked neatly at the end and deathly still... And what they find brings them to their knees...
• The room is made of dark metal, shiny and cool to the touch... Different large tubes bubble with liquid, a pale shade of green... and nestled in the middle of the room, within one... is their bby...
• They freeze, staring at them in disbelief. How? They feel a quiver run through them. Is this... is this real? Shakily they walk over, and see the various IVs inserted into their bby, pumping them full of a murky liquid. A mask covers their face, which hasn't aged since... since the day they lost them...
• And then they feel themselves fall to their knees, unable to hold themselves up. This? This is where they've been? They let out a shaking sob. They... they were alive this entire time? Tears start to trail down their face. What... what did they do to their bby? They silently cry, hunched over as they process what they found. Their bby was alive... But... what had even happened to them?
• After a moment, they wipe the tears from their eyes. They need to get up. They can't leave their bby like this. With a stumble, they rise up, quickly looking over the holding tank and the various cords connected to it. There. With a swift movement, they undo the code locking the tube... And they watch as for the first time in years, their bby wakes up...
• Everything is foggy... you are dimly aware that something wet is around you... cool air laps at your skin, sending a shiver through you. Why is it so cold? You manage a twitch through your fingers, as you try to move your arm. A feeling of haziness overtakes you. Where are you? Are you... alive?
• Something pulls at your face, then cool air fills your lungs. And suddenly... you open your eyes. A person is there, looking down at you... they cradle you against them, and as you look up at them, you feel something poke faintly at your mind. Did you know this person, before...?
• They say your name, as if they found the most precious thing in existence... Is... is any of this real?
• You can hardly remember anything... but you don't recognize this person... who they are escapes you... yet... something tells you they know you... and you aren't sure if that's a good thing...
• "Hey, kid... glad to see you again... I know this is a lot to take in, but... it's been awhile. Do you know what happened?" they ask you.
• You weakly look up at them, trying to remember anything. And you tell them you can barely remember who you are... that you can't remember anything, before what happened to you... When you say that, you see their face grow cold, their eyes darkening... You ask who they are, if they used to know you...
• "Yeah... I did... we used to be... friends... A lot may have changed... but... that never did... and it never will... Come on, kid... we have some people who will want to see you..." and with that, they help you stand, supporting you as you weave your way back out of the facility...
• They may have lost you once... you may not remember them, or your friends... but you're family... and they won't lose you again...
