A Consequence Of Tragedy
“Newt had liked the way the uniform looked, and the medal on his chest seemed to make up for the mess of marred skin on his face. He’d gotten a hundred handshakes from ambassadors and representatives from each branch, stationed on the nearby satellites and planets.”
Alien Quadrilogy, Aliens (1986)
Gen: Hicks & Ripley, Ripley & Newt, Newt & Hicks, Dwayne Hicks, Ellen Ripley, Rebecca “Newt” Jorden
(Angst, injury recovery, post-Aliens (1986), scars, trauma, found family, 888 words)
***
The government had agreed to pay for his treatments, probably less out of care for his well being than a hope to keep him quiet.
It got him a purple heart out of the deal too, and at the ceremony he’d worn the pressed dress uniform he so rarely had any chance to make use of.
Newt had liked the way the uniform looked, and the medal on his chest seemed to make up for the mess of marred skin on his face. He’d gotten a hundred handshakes from ambassadors and representatives from each branch, stationed on the nearby satellites and planets.
They all wanted to hear the heroic story of Dwayne Hicks, the marine who made it out. Despite his inelegance in those kinds of situations, he stuck by, smiled when he was supposed to smile– despite the tightness in his lip and cheek– and had told it as it was.
He brought up all of their names at some point, each one he’d served with and had seen die, or get pulled away into the depths of the colony.
To the higher-ups, it may have seemed like the ramblings of a damaged man, but they had listened as long as he’d spoken.
A few weeks later he was promoted, taken out of the field as an NCO to be stationed on a local moon base. Wasn’t ideal, but it was stable enough, it gave him time to recover, and a reasonable place for Ripley and Newt to settle down and get their bearings.
They got a flat on the base, three bedroom, two bath, state of the art as far as he was concerned.
Showers were hard with the recovering mobility in his scarred shoulder, but a bath released the pressure in his neck and back better than anything else.
Hicks woke up most nights, shaking, sweating, and in pain.
Newt and Ripley did too, they took turns helping the girl back to sleep, waiting up with her. The chair in Newt’s room was more natural to fall asleep in than the padded bed in his own.
He was assigned to work with the youth of the base, the ones who’d lost someone, the ones who struggled in school, and the ones who didn’t know where to go in life.
It was Hicks’ job to encourage and spread the word on the USCMC, tell the kids that the best choice for their future would be to enlist early and get covered scholarships, room and board.
But the memory of Hudson, just a few weeks until the end of his assignments, ready up with a full pension plan that would be scattered to his grieving family after his body was dragged through the floorboards.
Newt seemed interested. The more they got to know her, the more she spoke about her likes, dislikes and the future. And she liked the idea of following in Hicks’ footsteps, joining the corps and helping people where she could.
“Don’t let her.” Ripley told him one night. “Don’t you dare fucking let her.”
The haunted look in her eyes was enough to tell him everything he needed, his own wants for Newt’s future filling in the gaps easily.
He’d given everything he could for the corps, his friends had given their lives, and how many more had died for preventable causes?
How could he keep Newt from being one of those bodies?
The kids he worked with, trying halfheartedly to spread the word of the wonders of joining the USCMs got harder every day, as the lingering aches in his skin and muscles, burnt from the blood of those creatures, served as a constant reminder of all the things he’d lost.
Bishop got fixed, stationed somewhere else for recovery– or whatever the artificial equivalent was.
He called them sometimes, when they had time. Ripley took another job working in cargo, and Newt went to school.
Hicks had weekends off, and Ripley worked nights. So he stayed with Newt most times. He read books out to her, showed her the movies he thought she should see, and held her close when she needed it.
It was more than he’d thought he’d ever have. A home, a family of sorts and enough trauma to startle the most weathered of soldiers.
He was blind in one eye, but he could see fine through the other, and after a bit of adjustment, it was easy to forget what it had been like, once.
The mirror reminded him, though.
Leather-y, winding, raised and aggravated, the skin along the side of his body was ruined.
Why he wasn’t used as a cautionary tale to the youth on the base instead of a poster child, he wasn’t sure. He looked just like the corpses he’d seen across the stars, one lifeless eye like a reminder of death itself.
But no one looked at him that way, with death in their eyes. Like he was an omen or a man with one foot in the grave.
The corps, his higher-ups, the kids he worked with, Bishop, Ripley, Newt. They all looked at him like he was something more than that, like the lives he’d lost and the trauma that followed him was nothing more than a consequence of a tragedy, and not his own failing of keeping his friends alive.

Fumito Ueda was inspired by… Aliens (1986).
There are many dramatic moments in the film where one character is grabbing hold of another character to save them: Ripley reaching for Newt when she falls down the wheel, Newt pulling Ripley onto the aircraft, Bishop catching Newt when she’s about to be sucked out into space.
Hudson and Newt are taken by aliens and it looks just like the shadow creatures taking Yorda.
The aliens are governed by their queen who Ripley has a showdown with at the end.
Cocooned humans gestating aliens seems like something from which you could derive the horned boys being imprisoned in cells and also the queen’s intention to reincarnate herself in Yorda.

Hopefully this fanfic will have an unexpected twist at the end that leaves you hanging. This will be my intention. This will come from the STEREK and ALIENS universes. I have no idea how it will go but I am going to approach it from a movie perspective so we'll see how that goes. I am by no means a professional writer own no rights to the characters of use nor any of the Teen Wolf or Alien franchises. This will skip around but that is sort of my intention. It will either confuse everyone or it will have some coherence. Here we go...

Private First Class William L. Hudson is a fictional character in the 1986 science fiction film Aliens, played by actor Bill Paxton. Hudson is a member of the United States Colonial Marines deployed to the planet LV-426 to investigate the loss of communication with a terraforming colony, only to discover that the colony has been overcome with Xenomorphs.
The character has become a fan favourite in the Alien franchise, and has been noted as one of Bill Paxton's most iconic and notable roles. The character's quote "Game over man!" has been referenced numerous times in popular culture, and the character has been paid tribute to following Paxton's death in 2017. [1][2] Corporal Dwayne Hicks is a fictional character in the Alien franchise. First appearing in the film Aliens, he was portrayed by actor Michael Biehn. The character is a Senior Corporal of the United States Colonial Marine Corps aboard the USS Sulaco and is one of only four survivors of the Sulaco crew's expedition to LV-426, along with Ellen Ripley, Rebecca "Newt" Jorden and the android Bishop. Hicks was initially killed during the introduction of the film's sequel Alien 3, a decision that garnered negative backlash from fans of the franchise. Hicks was later rewritten to have survived, as he returns as the main protagonist of the "Stasis Interrupted" DLC in the videogame Aliens: Colonial Marines [1] ands CLONES

OC Name Meaning: Squire Woods
Rules: Google and post the meaning of your OC’s name (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! Bonus if you can find something for their last name too.
Squire Phoebe Iona Woods:
Tumblr media
Phoebe: From the Ancient Greek "Φοίβη", a female version of the name Phoebus, meaning "bright" or "shining". In Greek mythology, Phoebe was a Titan associated with the moon and the power of prophecy, and one of the planet Saturn's moons is accordingly named Phoebe.
I picked the name for the Prydwen's youngest and most adorable crewmember because I liked the idea of a very small and precocious Brotherhood Squire with a bright and happy outlook, constantly orbiting the grown-ups she admires (especially Paladin Danse) like a little moon. Unlike the Phoebe of myth, however, I don't think she's going to be a Psyker when she grows up.
Iona: The name of a Scottish isle, although its meaning is unclear. It may come from the Irish Ioua (a possible derivative of Ivova, or "yew-place"), later becoming "Iona" following a medieval transcription error in 1274. Alternatively, of possible Old Norse origin, from Hiōe ("island of the den of the brown bear"). It's also the Russian form of the name Jonah.
(Fun fact: Squire Woods' middle name is also shared by Fallout 4 voice actress Iona Morris, who voiced Goodneighbor citizens Daisy, Trish, and Clair Hutchins, as well as Arlen Glass' wife Cheryl!)
Woods: A common surname of English, Scottish and Irish origin. Related to the surname "Wood", often given to a person who lived and/or worked in the woods or forest, it's derived from the Middle English wode, itself from the Old English wudu ("wood") and the Proto-Germanic widu.
