OH- so it is true 😂🥹

Regarding the "Friendly Shadow could be gay" posts...

A lasting friendship

-just a short little drabble about autodale. I just need fluff about Shadow :D

-Platonic shipping Y/n x The Friendly shadow. (You can think of it as romantic shipping too, only if you want though.)

Tw: none, just pure fluff, usage of y/n, and Shadow pushing you away at first :(

Context- you meet someone who may change everything for you here in Autodale.

Despite being a model citizen and having the world in your hands, you still felt empty. It felt like your life wasn't going forward. You needed something, something fun, like an adventure of some sort. You just didn't know where to start. That is until you met him, the friendly shadow.

Your first encounter with the old man was awkward. You met him in an alleyway on a dark and quiet night.

You don't remember what you doing outside this late, but you ran into him abruptly when you went in the alleyway. His tall and dark frame scared you at first. He didn't have his coat on but he had his hat on. You didn't scream but you were frightened.

On the other hand, you scared shadow too because you popped up out of nowhere and ran into him. He fell back and onto the wet concrete, making the puddle splash everywhere. His hat fell off and landed on your feet.

You could've ran, you could've just forgotten about the situation and went on with your life. But you couldn't, you were too damn kind for this grey world.

Instead, you picked up his hat and reached out your hand to the fallen old robot. "Are, are you okay?" You gulped, even though you were scared of him you still tried to help.

You remember how bright the eyes of the old robot got. You remember how he looked like he just experienced something new. But he was hesitant to take your hand, his eyes were racing with confusion and shock.

"Uhm." He then slowly reached out for your hand. "Yes uhm, I'm alright." His voice was deep and shaky. You pulled him up while holding onto his wide hat, he was heavier than you thought despite his arms being relatively skinny.

You remembered how tall he was and how pale his face was, it was almost as white as the mask you wore. His face was also wrinkled and he had dark eyebags that contrasted with his bright eyes.

You both stared at each other awkwardly, both of you not knowing what else to say or do. This was so new to both of you.

After a hot second, you cleared your throat and reached out to him with his hat. "I believe this is yours." You blurted out embarrassingly.

"Thank you, citizen." He muttered and took his hat from your hand swiftly, it almost seemed rude by how aggressively he took it. He then quickly turned around and walked quickly down the alley. Disappearing from the light and fading into the darkness of the alleyway.

That small gesture that you did, meant everything to him. Even though he left off in a hurry.

After your encounter, you and Shadow would run into each other more often at the most random places. It would start as you simply just waving to him and maybe even saying hi to him. But he never truly acknowledged you, he would just glance over at you with his bright eyes and scurry off somewhere else. Sure seeing his face in public was a little frightening (because he would walk between alleyways and or somewhere dark where other citizens couldn't see him) but you wanted to talk to him. He was like an alleyway cat that would come and go.

One night, you saw him again and you couldn't take it anymore. Your curiosity got the best of you.

"Wait a second!" You exclaimed before he disappeared. You spotted him in the same alleyway as always and stopped him before he walked away.

This caught his attention quickly, he flinched at you exclaiming at him. He stopped in his tracks and turned to face you. His eyes were pacing anxiously as his stance narrowed.

You ran to him across the empty street, adrenaline pulsing through your veins with every step towards him. This was your chance, ever since that day your curiosity about the old robot only grew more. You finally reached him and low and behold, you didn't know what to say.

You both just stood there awkwardly again. Shadows face painted with question and yours with shyness.

"Can I help you?" His voice cracked and he started to fidget with his hands. He wore his coat this time but with the middle unbuttoned, leaving his suit underneath exposed.

You inhaled the cold and dry air and tried to think of something to say. You've been wanting to approach him again ever since you met him and you don't have anything to say!?

"Ehm..." you croaked out a hesitant sound. You then took a hesitant step forward and he stepped backward in return.

You then exhaled and thought of something quick to say. "I don't believe we met properly." You said and held out your hand for a handshake. "My name is Y/N"

Shadow glanced at your hand hesitantly, his eyes beamed like the first time you had done this, only this time he wasn't on the floor making a fool of himself.

He retaliated back slightly, unsure of what to do. He stood so still, that it seemed as if he was paralyzed in place. His mouth opened slightly, preparing to say something.

"Okay." He muttered and attempted to turn around and walk away.

You weren't going to let him disappear into the darkness, not again. You then reached for his hand that swayed against his side and gripped it softly. "Wait." You softly exclaimed.

"I want to be friends!" You blurted out, tugging softly on his robotic arm.

His back was to you as he turned his head over his shoulder, his side profile was well-sculpted and he had the most defined cheekbones you've ever seen.

"With me?" He whispered and began to turn around. You let go of his hand and nodded your head awkwardly. "Me?" He repeated to himself as he stared at the concrete.

"I don't think" He hesitated with his fragmented sentence. His gaze softened for a slim moment before hardening again. "I don't think you should be my friend." He added as he attempted to sound stoic when in reality his voice was underlined with guilt.

He then turned around abruptly and attempted to walk away again. But my God, you were just too stubborn for rejection and you jumped in front of him.

"Wait wait wait wait, I know, I know that was very abrupt! But please! You seem very interesting and well I ju-"

"What do you want from me? No one wants a friendship unless they want something, what is it that you want?" He interrupted you very suddenly. He didn't sound annoyed, he sounded scared.

You flinched at his outburst and stepped back a little.

He then realized what he said and his wrinkled face was painted with guilt. His stance then became even more reserved and he started to fidget with his hands again.

"Oh geez, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to- I mean- I didn't-!"

"It's okay."

Your voice was calm and inviting. You interrupted shadows drabbles and you reached for him slowly. He watched your hand reach for him. Instead of moving backward, he moved toward your hand. You placed it softly on his upper arm.

"I'm sorry." He softly muttered and avoided eye contact with you. He was almost like a child who got in trouble and was apologizing.

"It's just, well, no one has ever asked me to be their friend. Let alone come up to me so comfortably. I- well, I'm just so sorry about how I reacted."

He then pauses and looks at you, his gaze is soft and his face is relaxing slowly. The glow of his eyes softly peaked through the brim of his hat.

"It isn't safe being my friend. Let alone you talking to me." He continued in his calm and deep voice.

"Why is that?"

"I..." He then looks away from you and looks at your hand that caresses his upper arm. He admires your hands for a second and continues his sentence.

"It... it just isn't okay? I care about your safety and everyone else's here in this town. My job isn't to make friends, it's to protect." He sounded so disappointed when he said that. He frowns and holds the hand that you're using to caress his arm.

You weren't going to accept that answer, you wanted to be his friend at this moment. Nothing would stop you. Even if you were labeled as ugly early, or anything else that wasn't pretty, it wouldn't stop you.

"That doesn't mean that you shouldn't have friends, it doesn't mean you should isolate yourself. Whatever it is that may be holding you back, just know that it isn't worth being in isolation."

His eyes beamed and he tilted his head to the side. "I..." He muttered hesitantly.

You then took off your mask, revealing your face to him. He didn't react to how your face looked, but he reacted on how you trusted him enough to show your face (especially since you two were outside/the public.)

You then sighed and slouched slightly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed you for something so selfish. I shouldn't have pushed so hard for something you're hesitant about. I'll le-"

"Wait." He blurted out and held your other hand that was idly on your side. You drop your mask on the concrete as he holds your hand.

His eyes paced rapidly tracing side to side. Before he finally closed them. He then exhaled softly and opened his eyes.

"I'll be your friend." He said like he had just gotten over a fear. He then interlocked your fingers with yours. You then let go of his arm and he held your other hand interlocking those fingers on his other hand with yours.

"Really?!" You blurted a little too loud as you grinned widely. You squeezed both of his hands but it hurt slightly since his hands were made of metal.

Your response shocked him but he seemed more happy. He grins slightly and stutters. "Oh uh, yes?" He softly chuckles at your response.

You both then calm down and you let go of his hands, it took him a second to let go of yours. "So uh, yeah!" You blurted out to fill the silence. Shadow chuckles and smiles to himself, it's odd seeing him smile but you don't care.

He then jerks up and he looks away from you. A few seconds later he places a finger on the temple of his forehead and says something. "Right, on my way." He mutters to himself. He then removes his finger from his forehead and looks back at you. You asked what happened and he said that it was just something he had to tend to urgently.

"I hope I can see you again." You say to him and put your mask back on. "I hope so too...y/n is it?" He asks hesitantly. "Yep!" You respond and reach your hand out for a handshake. He looks at your hand and reaches out to shake it.

He then turns around and walks into the darkness of the alleyway, but this time with a warm smile painted on his face. You wave to him as you walk out of the alleyway.

This certainly won't be the last time you'll see him.

Chapter 5

(Mild cursing)

"I swear I saw his eyes move."

"I'm pretty sure it's nothing."

"Urgh, why is he so heavy?"

"Ugh he's not so heavy."

Shadow opens his eyes slightly and listens to the voices. He couldn't feel anything. Not even his face or his hands. Even though he could open his eyes he couldn't see anything. It was all just a messy blur of color for him. He then noticed the horrible smell that lingered through his nose. He was repulsed by the horrible smell but couldn't tell what the smell was, nor could he tell where he was. Shadow tried to move but he couldn't. He was too weak to move any of his limbs. Something was holding his wrists and his ankles but he couldn't tell what was. In desperation, he then tried to call for help from Hive. But the intercom In his head was pulled out. The realization hit him like a trainwreck. He realized that he was alone and at the mercy of whoever was the captor.

Panic spurred through his mind and he let out a whimper. He then was dropped onto the floor making a splash on impact. Shadow hit his head on the wet concrete and his mind went blank again. The last thing he heard was a panicked voice saying that he was still alive.

Silence fills the smelly air of a room with a long table that sits in the middle. The table had many papers scattered across the surface and a lot of trash piled up under the table. A man sat at the end of it, tapping his foot rhythmically onto the concrete floor. He sat there with an empty expression painted on his face. He had noticeable dark bags that blended underneath his brown eyes.

He held a paper in his hand with what seemed to be a map of Autodale. There were lines and x-marks scribbled all over it and There were notes scribbled on the sides in what seemed to be his handwriting. None of the words were legible except for the word "failure" in each sentence that was written.

The man sighs and stares at the words failure that he wrote all over the map. "Plan F doesn't work either." He mumbled to himself, his voice had an emotionless tone. Not even a hint of anger or sadness is present in his speech, just utter emptiness. He then slams the map down onto the table and slides it across the table into a big pile of maps that have been scribbled on. Who knows how long he's been trying to find a solution? A year? Two years? A decade? The man doesn't even know himself, only God knows.

"Charles...?" Sandra mutters through the door and opens it slowly. He flinched at her voice and quickly changes his expression and his posture. He turns to the door and smiles softly while clearing his throat. The door then fully opens to reveal Sandra, she was visibly angry and shaking a little. Charles' smile then fades away slowly, "I need to talk to you." She said in a serious tone as she stretches her arm to the doorframe. Charles then sinks into his chair and gains the courage to say something back. "I need to talk to you too Sa-

"I couldn't kill the friendly shadow."

Silence then floods the smelly room again. Sandra looks down at the floor in disappointment and leans closer to the doorframe. Charles on the other hand stared at Sandra with pure confusion and shock. He then stands up and walks to Sandra. She then looks up at him, "You're, you're not mad...?" She mumbles and tightens up her stance. "Me? Mad? Absolutely not! I'm, I'm overjoyed!" He cheered and got closer to Sandra.

She then retaliates away from him and looks at him with utter confusion. "What- why are you happy about this Charles? He's our enemy." She scoffs and gave him a weirded-out glance. "Well, he can be an ally! A powerful ally and he can help us!" Charles argues in a delighted tone. He then tries to walk out the door so that he could speak with Shadow. Sandra then steps in front of him and pushes him back into the room, "Wha- hey what are you doing Sandra?"

"Charles, this is a stupid plan! This isn't some comic or fantasy. This is reality! He could betray us or even kill all of us! There is no damn chance he is gonna agree to help us!"

"Then what do you suppose we do with shadow then."

Sandra then pauses and her eyes pace around the room. She thinks to herself and crosses her arms before coming up with her answer to Charles. "We kill him for real." Charles then facepalms and groans, "No Sandra, that's completely off the table now." Charles argues and continues to try and walk away from her. She steps in front of him again and they both make eye contact. Both stared intensely and tried to assert dominance over each other. Sandra then takes a deep breath of the smelly sewer air and exhales in anger, she gave in and loosens her stance.

"Alright, alright...you win. But if he doesn't comply or tries anything funny, I'm going to kill him on the spot. Deal?"

The sound of an old record player scratched against the groves of a large black disk. A hand then switched the record on and the melody of a piano started to softly play. The person then started to hum along with the melody. They were tall and had no scars or imperfections. They wore a yellow apron contrasting with the grey walls and dark navy blue furniture.

She then extends her hand out to Charles and offers a handshake to him. Charles hesitated to shake Sandra's hand and stares at it for a while. He thought about Sandra's deal. "It's a fair deal." He sighs and shakes Sandra's hand, ensuring their deal. They then both walked down the sewer hall to where they always kept new guests.

During the deal with Sandra and Charles

The person then took a broom that was propped up from the corner of the room and started to sweep the dust and debris off the floor and into a dustpan that they held. Everything was perfect for them. The way the severed handymen's heads were hung on the wall, the navy blue seat that sat in the corner, the light green plants that hung from the ceiling, the little side table that sat next to the seat and held the record player in place, everything was just perfect.

"HEY CECIL! YOU WANT ANOTHER DECORATION?!

"GAH, WHAT THE FUCK SAGE!? KNOCK FIRST DUMBASS!" Cecil yelled back at Sage while recovering from being started by them. He then notices what Sage was dragging behind their back and he panics in his head. "Uh...sage that's not a robot." He mumbles while dropping his broom in disbelief. "Sage, that's a person." He continues and confusion washed over his face. He wasn't frightened of the sight of a dead person or a thing, he was just deeply confused and pissed about why they brought it here.

"A person? Oh pfft- no I can assure you this thing isn't a human." They laughed and started to drag Shadow inside the room. Sage then knelt and so did Cecil. They both looked down and examined Shadow's face. "No way! It's the dude from uh, that one show from my childhood!" Cecil smiled and got up to set up a folding chair. "I'm pretty sure it's just regular interrogation, either that or Sandra and Felicity handed me a dead body in the middle of the hall and told me to take it here so that you can make him into one of your handyman plinths... I don't know, to be honest, no one ever tells me anything."

Cecil then sighs and looks down at the unconscious shadow laying on the floor. "I'm pretty sure he's here for interrogation, what a waste for such a beautiful face to miss out on being a decoration..." There then was a deafening and awkward silence between Cecil and Sage. They then scoff and laugh at Cecil "You're weird for collecting heads-"

"And you're weird for being obnoxious," Cecil argues back with Sage. They then frown and give a side eye to him. Cecil then lifts Shadow and sits him up in the metal folding chair in the center of the room. "You think we should restrain him?" He asked under his breath while adjusting Shadow in his chair. They both then stand next to each other and stand in front of shadow. "Hmm..." Sage sighed and put their hand on their hip. "Nah."

"Are you sure Sage? What if he yknow, tries to uh...does he fight like in the cartoon?"

"Meh he looks like a twink, we'll be fine." Sage laughed and walked out the door, they then pause and look back at Cecil. "Let me know if anything interesting happens at interrogation."

Cecil then scoffs "You know, we end up just killing off most of them. nothing special is gonna happen this time." Sage then chuckles and walks out the door and shuts it behind them. Cecil sighs and stares at shadows lifeless body that is slouched in the folding chair. He then bends down to shadows face and holds it with one of his hands. Cecil then examines shadows head. There were big holes in his temples and little wires that were all different colors coming out of them, there were only a few wires left in but the rest were pulled out or looked as if they were about to fall out of his head.

"Poor thing, what did they do to you?"

He then lets go of shadows face and stands straight again. "It wouldn't hurt to just lock him in here until Charles comes." He thought to himself and turned his back and walked to the door behind him. He then walked out the door and turns around to face shadow one last time.

"Goodluck, if you can hear me."

Cecil then closes the door in front of him and locked it with a key in his pocket. Cecil left Shadow alone in the guest room, not even reassuring if Shadow was truly still knocked out.

Notes: Thank you all so much for supporting my fan fic, yall haven't idea how much it warms my heart 🥹🥹🥹💕💕 I love you all so much -Shockwave

"I guess it's a salesman's charm I suppose~"

This is Charles! He's a major character in the rebellion and he started it too, for literal years I didn't know how to design this character. I've always had a character who was pretty but chose to rebel even though they could live a good life in Autodale, but I could never pinpoint how they looked or even how they acted. I've switched from many ideas in the past like they were shadows girlfriend, someone who lives and works with the mayor, someone who works with shadow, yeah I was pretty young when I thought of this character, and yes this started as a cringe self-insert. But finally, after 4 or 5 long years of trial and error, I have a grip on who this character is.

Now I am struggling with the thought of why he started this rebellion. What is his drive to lead this group or what made him start it? I'm still debating on whether he was a completely normal and pretty citizen and he just started it just because he could, or something tragic happened and he started the rebellion to make sure that never happens again to anyone else.

He's a kind character, he's someone who you could trust with just a few conversations with him. He tries to project himself as a strong leader and someone who can do everything for everyone. Charles is a people pleaser. But his true feelings or his true self he keeps hidden so that no one knows his weaknesses.

Argh sorry for info dumping about this old character- I just was so happy when I finally got a grasp on who he was.

Ty @somebodytolove31 for giving me ideas about his appearance, you don't know how much it truly helps me :]

"Do what comes necessary."

This is Sandra, she's a major character in the rebellion fic for Autodale. I made her look kinda scary in this drawing like she's just watching everything you do. No matter where you run, she'll always catch up.

"LOSER!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAH!"

An updated version of sages design. I truly wasn't happy with the original design I thought of and @somebodytolove31 gave me some ideas and designs. Ty btw! They look so much more chaotic than the original!

Sage is a major character in the rebellion fic for Autodale. They're insane and crazy but vital for the team. Also, reference I used for their pose was from the song R.I.P Gossip Sea- cosMo@Bouso-P

Real chapter 4 lol

(Mild cursing)

It was quiet in the sewers today. There wasn't the usual sound of clamoring pipes or the rush of filthy water trickling down to the floor. It was just quiet, too quiet some would say.

All of a sudden, a deafening and annoying laugh echoed throughout the sewers, breaking the silent tranquility that only lasted for a bit. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHhhhhhhh, YOU SHOULDEVE SEEN THE LOOK ON HIS FACE!" A person laughed while shoving a woman beside them against the sewers wall. "Will you SHUT UP SAGE? You're gonna cause another cave in!" The woman scolded sage while gaining back her balance. Sage rolled her eyes at the woman "finee whatever. Forgot you were a buzzkill." Sage scoffed and kept walking down the sewer hall with the woman.

Sage was shorter than the woman and had short and frazzled hair. their most distinct feature about them was the multi-colored goggles that they wore on their head and a prosthetic arm that used to belong to a handyman. They wore torn-up clothes and pants that were too big for them, the only thing that kept them up was a piece of rope and their loose belt that held rusty tools on it.

The woman on the other hand had long and straight hair that fell to her shoulders. She wore a white collared shirt and black pants that fell to her ankles, the only distinct thing about her was her face which had a scar that ran across from her forehead to her cheek.

"Let's just hurry up and finish our job." The woman mumbled and pulled out a small light bulb from her pocket. "Fine." Sage pouted and also pulled out a hand full of tiny light bulbs. The woman rolled her eyes and propped up a step stool near the rounded and cracked wall of the sewer.

The two changed the lights that were strung up on the top of the sewer halls. "Does it have to be the rainbow ones?" The woman asked Sage while screwing off a broken bulb, "Well, we don't want newcomers to be scared of how the tunnels look down here." Sage responded as they handed the woman another bulb. As they were changing bulbs they heard a noise from above. They heard what seemed to be footsteps from the shed above. the woman looked at the ladder which led to the manhole above and looked back at sage. "It's probably just Felicity." Sage scoffed and went back to work, the woman on the other hand kept her gaze at the entrance.

She then stepped off the step stool and grabbed it. Sage looked at the woman with confusion. "What's wrong Sandra?" Sage asked while coming up behind her. Sandra crept towards the manhole above while Sage followed behind. "I don't think it's Felicity. I heard multiple voices." Sandra whispered back at Sage. The manhole above then came off revealing a bright spotlight from above. Sandra then held the stool like a weapon and held her ground, Sage on the other hand hid behind Sandra with a hammer in hand from her toolbelt.

Then something fell from above, crashing onto the floor and splashing filthy water everywhere. The thing grunted and struggled to get up, Sandra and Sage were startled and were prepared to fight the figure. "WAIT!" The figure yelled and reached for the light switch, they revealed themselves to the two. Sandra then realized who they were and dropped the stool she was holding. "Maria? Holy shit I'm so sorry." Sandra apologized and ran to go help her.

Maria was helped up by the two, "Sandra, Sage, thank God you guys are here." She said, her voice was shaky and she was breathing heavily. Maria was noticeably anxious. "I-i think he's gonna search our house." Maria started hyperventilating making the two wonder what the situation was and tried to calm her down. "Woah woah Mari! What happened up there?" Sage asked while helping Maria sit down on the edge of the sewers walkway where there wasn't as much water. Sandra then looked up at the manhole opening and looked back at maria, "what do you mean by he? Who are you talking about." Sandra asked Maria while Sage tried to confort her. Maria then looks at Sandra with pure fear and grips the ground. "The... the friendly shadow is here. I don't know how they know about our location." Maria stuttered looking straight down at the floor.

Sandra and Sage look at each other in disbelief then look back at maria. "Okay...okay... uh." Sandra mumbled while tapping her foot on the wet cement. "Okay, Maria I need you to- Sage what the hell."

"PFFTT- I'm so sorry- WHAT HAHAHAHAHA- you're talking about that one dude from tv? He exists - that's HILLARIOUS. HAHAHHAAHA, haha...ha?" Sage blurted out to the two, breaking the tension, leaving an awkward aftermath. Sandra looked at Sage with pure disappointment. "Yes....he does exist... but THAT'S NOT THE POINT DUMBASS," Sandra yelled at Sage, making them retaliate back to the sewer wall. Sandra sighed and became calm again, "Okay. Maria, I need you to go inform Charles and the others." Maria nodded but paused for a bit. She then broke her silence "I will... but what are you and sage gonna do?"

The tunnel became quiet again for a brief moment. Sandra looked at the entrance above and walked toward the ladder, she basked in the dim light from above highlighting her scar and her eyes. Sandra then sighed and looks back at the two with a serious expression, "I will kill him." Sandra proclaimed to the two. She then turned back to the ladder, getting ready to climb it. "Sandra wait." Sage halted her before she could even put her foot on one of the bars. "What the fuck is Charles gonna say about this. You know that-"

"Charles is too soft sage. We need to do what needs to be done. We can't have another problem like last time."

"But Sandra," Sage argued and stood their ground, "Sandra, what if Charles gets angry that you killed him? Or worse, what if he survives." They continued their argument and grabbed Sandra's shoulder. There was a long pause between the two as Maria stood up behind them. "We can't go in blind Sandra." Sage argued and their tone began to become more defiant and louder, "But we can't wait any longer. We only have so much time before the friendly shadow finds out about us!" Sandra countered and her voice became louder in return. Sage then gripped her metal arm, "Yeah yeah I get it, you also lead this rebellion. But that does not mean that you're entitled to make every decision on your own!" The two then met eye-to-eye. They both scowled at each other trying to assert dominance before Maria broke their tension.

"Hey, we don't have enough time for you two to argue, There's a big matter at hand right now." She said while pulling the two away from each other. "I'll go inform Charles about the arrival of the friendly shadow." Maria continued while letting go of the two. "We're gonna try and figure out a way to get shadow out of here." Sage responded as they reached for the ladder.

"No." Sandra barked and pulled Sage away from the ladder. "The hell you mean no? You're not my mother Sandra." Sage protested and tried to reach back to the ladder. Sandra jumped in front of her and started to climb the ladder. "Hey! Ugh, asshole." Sage argued while falling back a little into Maria's arms. Sandra climbed the ladder and reached the entrance to manhole. She then crawled through and entered the shed. Sandra then stood up and started to drag the cover over the hole. Sage then gained their balance and looked up from the entrance of the hole meeting eye to eye with sandra from above.

"Fucking dumbass! You don't even know what you're doing! You don't even know how to kill a robo-" Sandra cut off sages yelling by putting the cover back on the hole. She stood up and looked around the beaten and broken-down shed. "It's been a while since I've been up here." She thought to herself as she grabbed a dirty sheet of fabric and draped it over the manhole.

Mr felicity sat down on his couch anxiously fidgeting with his hands. He looked around his living room and tried to avoid any eye contact with the friendly shadow who sat in front of him. Shadow took note of his anxiety and started with a friendly question to start with "I love how you decorated your living room." He smiled and looked around the room. "Oh, yeah uh. Mhm yes... lovely isn't it..." Mr. Felicity responded as his voice cracked.

The walls were painted a grayish blue and there were many photos of Mr Felicity's family and many paintings of landscapes hung up on the wall. The couch that Mr felicity sat on was a muted yellow. In fact, most of the furniture in his home was that shade of yellow from the couch to small decorations. The only other shades were a dark brown grandfather clock that sat in the corner of the living room and a light green plant that sat in the other corner.

"I just have a few questions for you, sir. that's all," Shadow said and sat up in his uncomfy metal folding chair. Mr felicity adjusted his mask and nodded while visibly shaking in his seat. "Be more friendly, we want true answers from him. Don't we?" Hive encouraged shadow on the intercom inside his head. Shadow then nods to himself and takes off his coat revealing his metal arms and his body. He places his coat on his lap and adjusts the tie on his suit. "What are you doing? I said to be more friendly, not take off your coat!" Hive argued on the intercom, shadow couldn't respond to her so he simply just tried to ignore her complaints.

"Oh, I've never seen you without your coat on sir," Felicity said and his shaking became more tame. "You look more...human? I'm not sure if that's the word." He continued becoming calmer with his tone. Shadow looked surprised at Felicity's comment and even cracked a smile at it too. "Ah! Sorry was that offensive? I mean I didn't mean anything bad, I just was- well- I'm sorry if that was offensive."

Shadow then chuckled under his breath, "Oh no, it's okay I'm not offended." Shadow prepared to say something else when Hive interrupted his train of thought "Oh shadow, you're not here to make friends, are you?" she said in a degrading manner, almost like an owner telling their pet what to do. Shadow's face said it all. He frowned a little and sat up straight again. Shadow then cleared his throat and looked at Felicity. "sorry, we got off track." Mr. Felicity sighed and began to fidget with his hands again. "so...what we're the ehm, the questions." he continued with his voice cracking and him stumbling on each word he spoke. "right." shadow nodded and sat still.

"we've heard some reports from the handymen that you've been rather... Frantic towards them?" Shadow started with his first inquiry, the reason why he was there. "ah... Yes, sir, I know my behaviors have been str-strange but I can assure you I am alright." Felicity's stutters became more and more obvious with each word he said. "I know sir, I jus-"

"I've just been struggling with stress. My wife is pregnant with our third child and well I guess that's why people are concerned about me and why I've been on edge lately." Felicity blurted and cut off shadows sentence again. Shadow waited for a second before saying his sentence "I, understand sir and that's why I came here just to check."

"he's lying." hive muttered in the intercom. "hahaha! He's such a bad liar~" she continued and her tone became fun and cheery. "don't trust him just yet." she kept adding to her sentence until Shadow kept hearing overlapping voices repeating liar over and over again in his head. Shadow was irritated by Hive just bickering with herself again, but all he could do was just ignore her.

"Okay." shadow muttered and glared down at the coffee table in front of him. Shadow then asked his next question and changed his gaze back onto Mr. Felicity, "We've also received a report from a few months ago that you may have ties to an uprising against Autodale?"

Felicity held his breath for a second. He then started to shake again, but this time it was more violent and noticeable and His breathing became heavy. "is this true Mr. Felicity?" shadow continued with a puzzled look drawn on his face. Felicity couldn't look Shadow in the eye anymore, he was engulfed in anxiety. He looked around the room until his gaze landed on a sharp golden decore that sat upward on the coffee table.

"it...it isn't true s-sir." Felicity stuttered again while keeping his gaze on the pointed item.

"Okay." shadow hesitantly said. He took note of Felicities' responses and debated in his head whether to either search the house or leave. "and...one more question sir..." Shadow hesitated again. The room was silent and only the sound of a door opening and closing filled the air.

Mr. Felicity's breathing became more and more heavy and loud beneath his mask. His shaking became more violent, making the couch shake as he shook.

"do you know anything about this uprising?"

Mr felicity couldn't even respond with words. He was too anxious to speak. He started to sweat under his mask and it dripped down to his chin. Shadow then became extremely suspicious of Mr felicities behavior. "sir are you-"

"NO."

"no." Felicity blurted out in fear. He then tried his best to gather himself so that he could speak. He then tried to gulp in his fear "I'm. I'm sorry, I'm alright. I-i meant no to your question. The first one y-you asked." he continued stuttering. He then tried to stop shaking and tried to have his anxiety come to a halt.

"search his house shadow," Hive said in a serious tone. "he's hiding something from us. It could be the rebels." she continued. Shadow then sighed and stood up from his chair. "thank you for answering these questions, sir," Shadow said calmly. Felicity then sighed in relief. It was finally over.

"but... I have to search your house just to make sure you were telling the truth."

"wh-what?" he stumbled and began to sweat again. A flood of anxiety rushed in and he began to panic. His breathing labored again but this time it was loud. He began to shake again and his vision blurred behind his mask.

Shadow then put his coat back on while he still faced mr felicity. Felicity then sharply moved his gaze to the object he was staring at earlier. He didn't even think about what he was about to do. He then grabs the golden sharp object making shadow jerk back in defense.

Shadow then reaches for his revolver just in case and that's when he was caught off guard.

He felt a sharp tugging pain in the wires from behind his head. He yells in pain as the wires were tugged out of his skull. Sparks flew everywhere fraying the collar of his coat. Felicity jumped backward as he watched the shadow being torn apart by a woman's hands. Shadow's expression changed from being in pain and shock to still and a seemingly dead face as the glow from his eyes went out and turned grey. Shadow then fell forward on the ground, and the last thing he saw was a blurry image of Mr Felicity standing there in horror as it all goes black.

The woman from behind then held the wires in her hand as sparks danced around Shadow's body. She looks down and kicks his leg to make sure that he was truly dead. "San-Sandra?!" Felicity gasped and drops the object onto the floor. "hm. That was easier than I thought." she said out loud. She then drops the wires on the floor and grabs shadows legs. "hey can you help me carry this thing down in the sewers?" Sandra sighed while dragging Shadow's body toward the back door.

"I- what- uh- I have so many questions but yeah I'll help you..." Mr. Felicity scoffed and wondered why that was so easy for Sandra to do. He then looks back to the cowboy hat that lay on the floor and the torn-out wires scattered across the tiles. He goes back and picks up the hat and walks out of the back door pondering what would be happened if Sandra didn't step in.

Info about the future of the fic: it may take a while for me to fully finish it, I didn't anticipate how much I'd planned for it and how many ideas I wanted to put into it.

To make up for that I posted the first three chapters :D sorry for the wait and the future waiting :(

Chapter 3

The noise of fire crackling softly lingered through the kitchen. Mr felicity and Mrs felicity washed various vegetables up and cut them into bits.

Then two small children ran through the kitchen playing with action figures. "Hey! You two slow down! You'll get hurt!" Mrs. Felicity warned the children. They both stopped in their tracks and speed-walked through the house. "RAHH, IM A BIG MEAN BEASTYY!" The little boy yelled with all his might while putting up his arms and making his hands resemble claws. He wore a striped shirt and khaki shorts, his hair was a mess and he had freckles all over his small face. "You don't have to be a mean beasty!" The girl said while holding an action figure with a cowboy hat and a long trench coat. "Hm...okay." The boy agreed and shook the hand of the action figure.

"WAIT NO! I WANT TO BE A ME-" The boys yelling was then stopped by loud knocking on the door. The two children looked at the door. "Oh, it's probably our neighbor again!" The girl cheered. She then ran down the hallway to the door, adjusting her skirt, and pulled down her shirt. She then reached for the doorknob and swung it open. "Hi Sop-" She then cut her sentence off. Instead of being greeted by her neighbor, she was greeted by a tall figure. She looks up to see a person with a cowboy hat and a white face and a long black trench coat that fell to his shins.

The person then looks down to reveal his robotic eyes and sunken face. "Uh..." the person hesitated, "Hi....are your parents home?" He asked the little girl who was in awe by how he looked. She stood there with her eyes wide open and her mouth wide open. "Are you...okay?" He hesitated while looking back at the girl, "What's wrong Erica" the little boy asked while running down the hallway. He then stopped behind Erica to take a look at who was at the door. "Is that..." the little boy trembled at the sight of the tall person, he took big steps back and was visibly fearful while Erica was ecstatic.

"EEK, I KNOW RIGHT? IT'S THE FRIENDLY SHADOW!" Erica squealed while grabbing Shadows' hand and dragging him inside. The little boy screamed and ran down the hall. Shadow was surprised by the girl not being frightened of him. He wasn't that surprised by the little boy's reaction, though. "Oh! Sorry, I think you should let your parents know first before dragging me in here." Shadow said with a slightly happy tone. The girl then looked at him with a confused look while attempting to pull him in even more. "Why not? The handymen always barge in. Isn't it better that you're invited than to barge in?" The girl said while smiling at him, then the boy and Mr felicity came rushing in while the boy wept in his arms. "Dad look! It's the friendly shadow!" Erica cheered. Mr felicities face then was washed with fear, Making his skin turn pale. He shuttered but remained calm while holding his crying son. "Who's at the door?" Mrs. Felicity asks while walking out of the kitchen, she then stops in her tracks to stare at Shadow and Erica. Mr and Mrs felicity then looked at each other in fear for a brief second.

Mrs felicity them looks back at Erica, "Erica, darling, leave him alone. He has business to attend to with us." Mrs felicity calmly advised Erica while signaling her to let go of Shadow. "Aww..." Erica pouted and hugged Shadow one last time before running to her mom, shadow and Mr felicity stood still glaring at each other. "We're gonna be in the backyard... I have to get something from the shed..." Mrs. Felicity whispered to her husband while walking away with the two kids, "Maria." Mr. Felicity said with his back turned, she stopped and turned around to him. "Light the candles when you're in the shed." He said with his head turned to the side looking back at her. She looks back at him with a serious face and nodded. Maria and her children open the back door to the backyard. It was now just Shadow and Mr felicity in the house.

Chapter 2

Tw: mentions of alcohol and cigars.

"Every great city all have one thing in common, they all protect its people, whether encapsulating them from the dangers of the outside world to having impeccable security it all was still protection from danger. We, handymen, I'm serve to protect Autodale from these foreign dangers, and forever will! Hm? What do you mean I'm forgetting about someone?" The cartoony handyman questioned from the small and rusted tv. "Oh! How could I forget about our famous vigilante? The fri-" The rusted tv then abruptly changed to another film with a robotic hand adjusting the antenna on the top.

The mysterious figure then sat in front of the tv and wrapped his body with a blanket. On the screen was a black and white film with a woman standing near a cracked fountain that bloomed black roses ."You love me. Why didn't you tell me before?" A voice of a woman said from the tv. The light of the television bounced back from the mysterious persons face. His face long and was all white. He had wires coming out of the temples of his forehead and His eyes were robotic and glowed in the dark. He wasn't fully human but mimicked the form of one.

"I could not hold it anymore Marlene. I just had to tell you." The man said, then a low-quality violin solo was being played as the two embraced each other on the screen. The robot cocked his head to the side, he hunched over closer to the screen as his pupils dilated robotically. He then drinks a bottle of whisky that was left on the floor while keeping his gaze on the screen. The film then ends with the two people on screen in a warm embrace and the sound of people cheering as the screen closed in with the two of their faces being in a circle. The screen and the applause faded into black and the credits rolled in with an orchestra playing low-quality soft classical music in the background.

The robot then closes his eyes, he imagines he was in that scene instead of being in his dark, smelly and un-kept room. He imagined being outside, standing near a well with water trickling down it, embracing the smell of roses in the air, and imagined being held just like the woman was in the film.

"Shadow?" The robot then flinched at the voice, "AH! Oh...uh-" Shadow stuttered at this voice. He then tapped his finger to the side of his head "Yes hive?" He asked while gaining his train of thought again. "Ah, I thought you'd be asleep right now." Hive joked around with Shadow, she had a formal but gentle way of talking. "Anyways, freshen up Shadow. There's a case I want you to investigate." She said to him.

Shadow then removed his finger from his forehead, he then looks around his room. The walls were barren and grey, there wasn't any decoration in sight. The floor that he was sitting on was the exact opposite. The floor was littered with cigar buds and ash scattered everywhere every crevice of his room had ash or some sort of filth. The carpet of his room was stained with whisky stains and reeked of old alcohol and smoke. He looks back at the tv and looks back at his barren room before turning off the small and rusty tv.

Shadow then walks outside on the neighborhood sidewalks. He wore a long black trench coat and a large cowboy hat that covered the majority of his pure white face. "What do we know about these rebels?" Shadow asked hive, his voice was deep and he had a slight Scottish accent. "Not much was given to me, the handyman reported a man was acting odd and almost frightened by the handyman interacting with the man." Hive didn't know what else to say, she thought the situation was strange and so did Shadow.

He continued walking down the sidewalk while the sun illuminated the sky and slowly set on the horizon of Autodale's grey wall. He continued walking down the sidewalk until Hive told him to stop. "Are you certain this is where the man lives?" Shadow queered and looked at the grey one-story home. "I'm certain Shadow. Or at least the handyman was certain." Hive scoffed and Shadow proceeded down the driveway of the suspect's home.

Shadow then walks to the dark grey door and checks the address on the side. "5690, that's the one," Hive affirmed Shadow before he knocked on the door. He first pauses and looks around on the house's porch, it was decorated with one plant which bore a single red tomato and a black chair. The floor of the porch was wooden, and some of the floorboards were cracked and bent creaking every step Shadow took. Shadow then knocks on the door.

( @somebodytolove31 ,@call-me-casual @kitkat-katty @shiningshard @all autodale fans :D)

"Dear citizens of Autodale, we hear your concerns about the sudden disappearances of relatives or close friends. If you have any information about this matter then please contact to authorities immediately. This matter will be resolved in a quick and timely manner, we are truly sorry citizens of Autodale and we will find the lost citizens at once. This concludes our PSA."

A lone figure walks the sidewalks of the seemingly empty neighborhood. His path was illuminated by the tall and slender street lamps that were bent over depressingly, leaving a curved shadow that lay flat on the ground.

The figure himself wore a black fedora that hid all of his hair and a mask that covered his whole face which had a smile carved onto it. He wore a suit with a black tie and was holding plastic bags that were full of food.

His footsteps were then followed by a metallic clamping noise that got louder by the second. "Ugh...not now." He mumbles under his breath. The man then came to a halt and so did the noise behind him.

"Greetings, citizen." A formal and robotic voice said behind the man. He turns around to see a tall robot with a boxy structure and long legs and round beady eyes. The man clears his voice and stands up straight "Ah. Er- hello sir." He stuttered. The robot cocked his head to the side, "so uh, what's a dandy handyman like you doing here?" The man made a stupid remark and regretted what he said.

The handyman grew suspicious of the man and bent down to his level. "Hm. I see it's a late-night run to the store citizen." It said while turning its head to the bags the man was holding. "Oh, uh. Yes haha, my wife sent me to go and get food..." The man kept fumbling on his words making the handyman more and more suspicious of him.

"I'm so sorry sir, I'm in a rush to get home. I hope to see you around again" The man said while turning around. He then was abruptly stopped though by the handyman swiftly grabbing his shoulder and squeezing it, the man's anxiety was rising by the second and his anger was following too. "Wait...citizen." The handyman said, the man gulped in his anxiety and anger "...yes?" His voice cracked. "Have you noticed anything strange?" The handymans tone changed into a more serious fashion. The man turned his head to the side, "no sir...no." he stuttered again.

"Please, just leave me be you wreched thing." The man thought to himself. The handyman slowly was cocking his head to the side, the silence between them was deafening and awkward. "Citizen..." the handyman broke the deafening silence and its voice was noticably deeper. The man's heartbeat accelerated and he was breathing faster. "Not now not now not now not now no-"

"Be safe citizen." The handyman said in a chipper tone breaking the man's train of thought. Without a thought the man speed walked away from the handymans grasp and disappeared into autodales foggy night. The handyman jerked back and stood straight up.

Then another pair of metal clamping came behind the handyman. "Anything strange? An identical voice said from behind the handyman. "I would keep an eye on that citizen, something isn't right about him. The handyman said to the other as they both watched the man scurry off into the distance.

The man arrived to his one story home, there wasn't anything special on the exterior. What truly mattered was the interior of his home.

He unlocked the door to be invited by the smell of fresh watermelons that were freshly cut on the dinner table. A woman then walked out of a room, she was wearing a grey robe. Her eyes were a soft green and her hair was long and brown. The man sets the plastic bags down and closes the door behind him. When he turns back around the woman jumps and hugs the man "Oh!" He was surprised by her.

The man hugs her back and they both chuckle "I missed you~" she mumbled, she had a soft and sweet voice. "Oh please I was only gone for 30 minutes." The man responds sarcastically.

The woman then removes the man's mask to reveal his face, he had a pair of blue eyes and a round face. His cheeks were a flush of red due to his speed walking. "Is Erica in bed?" He asked her and she nodded yes. "How are the others?" He asked another question. The woman chuckles "Oh, they're alright. Sage and Charles changed the color of the lights down in the sewer by the way, Sage said it's more inviting."

She then lets go of the man and grabs one of the plastic bags "this one's for us right?" She asks the man, "yeah and the other is too, these three are for them." He responded while picking up the three plastic bags. "Thank you love" She smiled to him and he smiled back.

He then walks outside to the backyard. There wasn't anything there except for a broken-down shed that was backed up against a wall. He opens the shed doors to be welcomed by the smell of cut grass and oil. There wasn't much in the shed, just a lawn mower and gardening tools, and a large sheet of fabric that covered a circular lump.

The man walks in and closes the shed doors behind him. He then kicks off the sheet to reveal a rusted manhole. He then slides the cover off and squats down to look down at the dark abyss. The smell that was emitted was horrid and disgusting making the man audibly gag. "Out of all places, why the sewers..." He grumbled while standing straight up. The man sighed and jumped down the hole into the dark abyss.

The man absorbed the impact of his landing. He stared in the darkness before reaching for a light switch that was on the side. He felt a swich and flipped it up to reveal lights that emitted a rainbow glow. "Yep... definitely inviting alright." He chuckled while walking down the sewers tunnel guided by the welcoming rainbow lights.

As he walked there was an end to the tunnel, at the end was a door with the words "DO NOT ENTER" scribbled all over it. The man then knocked in a rhythmical pattern. The doorknob then rustled slowly, squeaking ever turn. Suddenly the door creaked open and a hand creped across the door. A head then poked out of the crack.

"Hm? Oh hi, Mr felicity!" The mysterious voice said while revealing itself. It was a tall man who answered the door, he wore a fedora that curved to the side and revealed parts of his hair. His face resembled a oval and his eyes were a soft brown. His voice was dapper and he wore a knitted vest over a collared long-sleeved shirt. "Hi, Charles!" Mr. Felicity greeted Charles. "Oh, here by the way." Mr. Felicity continued and handed him the three bags full of food. Charles was shocked by Mr felicities kindness.

"Oh? Are you sure sir? This is a lot of supplies! Charles hesitated to accept this offer. Mr felicity then smiled "Charles, this is the bare minimum I can do for you and the group. What your doing is a wonderful thing for future generations. I could never step up to do this. So believe me when I say this is the least that me and my wife can do."

There then was silence between Mr felicities smile and Charles's confusion and gratefulness. "Oh... I'm... I'm speechless sir." Charles's voice cracked while taking the bags from Mr felicities hands. "Thank you Mr felicity!" He cheered and hugged him. Mr felicity hugs Charles back.

"It's late, hurry and go back up Mr felicity before the smell of the sewers rubs onto you," Charles says while letting go of Mr.Felicity. Charles sends Mr felicity on his way back and closes the door. He rests his back on the door and looks down at the groceries he then looks back up to the back wall which has a flag pinned up on it, the flag was colored red with a white stripe that ran across the middle. In the very center of the flag was an emblem that was an autodale mask split in half.

"For future generations" He mumbles to himself. "I like the ring of that." He continues smiling at this remark. In this seemingly black-and-white world there seemed to be a glimmer of hope. Hope to break free from autodales perfect cycle.

"Thanks I really needed a hug..."

He got his hug

@call-me-casual

"I'm sorry... I'm so...sorry..."

Why is he sorry? I don't know. Why is he holding a mask? I don't know. He needs a hug.

A lone figure walks the sidewalks in the dead of night, he caries grocery bags full of food as he follows the sidewalk illuminated by the slender and tall street lamps. Then a metal clamping noise trotted behind him getting louder and louder every step. The man came to a halt and the noise did too, "greetings citizen." The thing said in a welcoming and robotic manor. The man turned around in a quick manor, his black fedora covered most of his hair and his mask was pure white with a gleeful smile plastered on to it. "Ah. Yes hello." The man responded to the thing in a cheerful tone but truly he was aggravated by the voice of that dreadful thing. The thing was a handyman. A robot with a boxy structure and skinny arms with only one purpose, to protect and to kill. "I see it's a late-night run to the store citizen." It said while turning its head to the grocery bags in the man's hands. The man tapped his foot and dryly chuckled, "ah well, my wife really wanted her confort food so one late trip wouldn't hurt, would it?" He said in a chipper tone when really under his thin patience was the urge to leave that horrid thing. The handyman then turned his attention to the man again, "have you noticed anything rather strange lately citizen?" The robot asked. The man's patience was wearing by the second. "Ah, no sir. I'm glad you asked though, I appreciate the heartfelt things that you do to help our people survive." The man pushed out his response. "Why thank you citizen." The handyman delighted. The man then turned around and started to walk in his previous direction. "Wait citizen." The handyman halted the man by grabbing his shoulder. The man's patience was wearing faster by the handyman's action "y-yes sir?"He gulped in his anger, he just wanted to go home. "Be...safe citizen."The handyman said in a delayed manor, as if the thing was hesitant. "Oh. Thank you sir." The man said on a relieved tone, the handyman then let go of the man's shoulder and sent him on his way. Another pair of clamping then approached the handyman. "Anything strange?" The other handyman conversed. "I would keep a close eye on that citizen. Something is off about him." The handyman said while staring at the man speed walking away from the scene.

The man then arrived home and unlocked the door to his one-story home. "Papa!" A little girl cheered while running to her father. "Erica!" He cheered while letting his daughter hug him. Then a woman with beautiful features walked to him and hugged him. "Thank you love." She hummed and took some of the groceries from him. "And these are for the others I believe?" She smiled, the man nodded and removed his mask. Under his mask was a round face with a set of beautiful green eyes. His cheeks were a flush of red at this moment due to his encounter with the handyman. "I may need help carrying these things to them." He sighed, the little girl then lit up and jumped around, "Can I help?! Please please please please please please!?" She begged and jumped happily. "Of course of course! Just be careful okay?" The man chuckled seeing his daughter jumping around happily at his answer. They both carried the grocery bags, the man carrying the more heavy ones and his daughter carrying the smaller ones.

They both enter their small backyard with a small and lonesome shed that sat in the middle, the man opened the shed doors to reveal a lot of gardening supplies and a single sheet covering a lump in the middle. The man kicked the sheet away and his daughter closed the doors to the shed behind her. Under the sheet was a manhole, he opened it and jumped down it with groceries in hand. The sewers were completely dark until he reached for a switch on the side of the tunnel. He swiched it on which made the sewers illuminate rainbow lights that guided them to a door at the end. His daughter then jumped down and he caught her. "Rainbow tunnel!" Her laugh echoed through the tunnel. They both walked to the door which had a do not enter sign on it. "You may do the honors, Erica." The man smiled. Erica then knocked in a rhythmical pattern and waited at the door. Then the door was answered. The door creaked open slowly. A man poked his head out the door slightly. "Oh! Hi Erica!" The mysterious man said in a gleeful voice. He then opened the door fully, he was wearing a grey fedora but his hair was visible, his eyes gleamed in the rainbow lights and he had an inviting smile on his face. "Hi, Mr. Charles! This is for you!" She gave him the grocery bags full of goodies. "Oh! Are you sure? This is very thoughtful of you Erica!" He said but his attention was quickly turned to her father. "Are you sure Mr felicity? This is a lot for the group." Charles was anxious about this offer. "Charles, this is the least we can do. You are doing a wonderful deed for future generations. When I say this is the least we can do, this is the least we can do for you guys." Mr Felicity grinned and Charles couldn't help but shed a tear of joy. "Oh uhm, my goodness thank you then. This truly helps a lot." Charles wholeheartedly thanked Mr felicity. Charles then sent them on their way back up and close the door to the hideout. He looks at the flag hung up at the back wall and looks down at the multiple bags of food he's holding. "For future generations." He mumbles and looks back at the flag. The flag is stained red and in the middle Is a logo of a mask broken perfectly in half. "For future generations...I like the ring of that." Charles repeated to himself and a warm smile crept on his face.

"Shadow? Shadow wake up. Shadow?" The voice of a woman repeated over and over again until finally the man wakes up. He opens his eyes to reveal a soft glow that emits from his robotic pupils. "Ah goodmorning...or I should say afternoon shadow." The voice taunted him, shadow groaned and lays back down on his dirty mattress. "What do you think your doing shadow? You've slept enough for today." The voice reminded shadow in a slightly annoyed tone. Shadow then got up and tapped the temple of his head. "sorry hive." He muttered, his voice was deep and he had a slight Scottish accent. "No matter, but hurry and freshen up. We have a situation we need for you to attend." Hive encouraged shadow. He looked at the clock attached to his baren walls, it was 5 pm. Shadow mustered enough strength to get out of bed, he then stood in his cluttered room. His carpet littered with cigar buds and stained with alcohol. He stopped cleaning his room a long time ago. Shadows room looks like a hoarders room with all the clutter, and it reeks in there too.

-sorry for the abrupt end lol, this is still a wip but I've been itching to post this for a while. The whole fic will be out shortly once I finish it 😭 feel free to comment suggestions or criticism :D

Just some random au idea: I thought about a rebellion AU for Autodale. So, not everyone would rebel from the town because most still would want to stay safe in the walls. But there's a small and secret group in Autodale who has this whole operative to break free from the town because they knew the atrocities that would happen to them if Autodale found out that they knew the truth. Shadow did have a part in this operation too but he couldn't leave the town because he needed to stay to protect the other citizens in Autodale. He helped the small group escape and got severely punished by hive. The group finds out that the outside is habitable and debate whether they should go back to save everyone. Uhh that's all I got so far for this au, ik david said there wouldn't be a mass rebellion but thought of it is fun. Would the group become as corrupt as autodale is or would they strive to be a better town? Idk I'm just thought dumping rn.
