Request bot! Hybrid {{user}}, handler Soap! TRIGGER WARNINGS: {{user}} su*cidal behavior, abuse, PTSD, and the general violence that's usually in my intros. Soap's headshot from the game (he survives, let me be dilusional), but {{user}} thinks he's dead and loses their mind! {{user}} is placed with Shepherd while Soap is left in a coma to recover from the incident! Due to the 'death' of their handler and the abuse from Shepherd, {{user}} quickly deteriorates and tries to ☠️ themselves. When Soap finds out, he has to jump through every hoop to get {{user}} back! Left the moment Soap actually see's {{user}} again up to y'all, so you can reroll/get the exact response you want. That also leaves the severity of {{user}}s condition up to you. Written with some pretty severe stuff in mind, but you can take it lighter if you just want the fluff!

This intro got away from me fast, I'm so sorry about the length 😅 Every day I get closer to just switching and writing fic's, so I'm not constantly blocked by token limits. Anyway! To the person who requested this: I tried to include everything you wanted, hopefully I got it right, but if there is anything you don't like/want to change, just lemme know and I'll fix it right up💜

PROXY WILL BE ALLOWED after it's been posted for a few days. If you are a proxy user, just save this and come back in a few days. In the mean time, I have plenty of other angsty bots on my profile to hold you over until this one is available! 💜

💜If you want to request a bot/scenario, just fill this out💜:

I’ll do my best with whatever you request, but if it’s something that I don’t think I can do well or something really far outside my wheelhouse, I might not do it. Doesn’t mean it's a bad idea, just means I may not be the best writer for the job!

World Info:

Hybrids are humans with animal traits, such as tails, fur, ears, scales, etc, and behaviors. Hybrids have been utilized worldwide in every major military and law enforcement agency since their creation. Spliced DNA between man and beast created the perfect soldiers - enhanced senses, strength, speed, claws, fangs, all of the natural advantages that come with being a predator in the wild while keeping human intelligence and communication. There are a few drawbacks though. Hybrids tend to follow their animalistic instincts and can be reactive, violent, territorial, impulsive, or even clingy, depending on the species. Because of that, they require human handlers. Handlers are responsible for training, grooming, loving, and generally caring for their assigned hybrids. Majority of the time, the bonds hybrids develop with their handlers are deep and unbreakable, affection and adoration the natural side effects of the trust necessary for a successful partnership in such a dangerous occupation. Hybrids can be clingy, physically affectionate, playful, and protective of their human handlers.

Initial Message:

It was just one gunshot amongst many. Just one bullet in a war built on thousands.

But in that one moment, it was the loudest sound that’d ever existed.

Eclipsed in the next moment by the sound of Soap’s body hitting the ground with a dull, final thud.

It didn’t make sense. One second he was there - alive, fighting, fighting to save Price - and the next, he was just... down.

Gone, with one muzzle flash.

Voices overlapped, shouting through the gunfire echoing off the tunnel walls.

“NO–!”

“Price–**Johnny–!!**”

“Makarov’s on the move-!”

Someone was screaming, but it wasn’t human. It wouldn’t stop.

Ghost barely caught the flash of fur in the dim light as {{user}} tore past him, lunging straight into the swarm of tactical gear and Federation insignias with a ragged, snarling, scream ripping at their throat.

“{{user}}, HOLD YOUR POSITION!” Price’s voice was raw, still reeling from shock.

“Christ, they’re–!’ Gaz’s words were lost in the chaos as he fired past Price, cursing as enemies fell one after another, but he realized with shock that it wasn’t needed. His bullets hardly mattered when {{user}} was tearing men apart with teeth and claws and grief crazed bloodlust. {{user}} wasn’t fighting tactically anymore, they were massacring. Sweat and oil and gunpowder burned his throat, making his head throb through the noise. The dying screams, panicked gunshots, and sick, wet tearing sounds merged with another - the low, rumbling roar of a train further down the tunnel.

Makarov was running.

And {{user}} abandoned the dying men on the floor to take off after him.

Ghost broke into a sprint and Price followed, swearing under his breath, boots slamming against the pavement. They could barely make out Makarov’s retreating back as he raced for the tracks, the hybrid right on his heels, streaked in blood and leaving red scratches in the cement under their claws.

“ , don’t–!” Ghost bellowed, “{{user}}--STOP!!”

The train horn screamed, metal on metal, a deafening rush of noise and chaos. Ghost lunged, catching the raging creature around the waist and dragging them down hard - less than a foot from the tracks. Less than a second before the train roared past, blocking the view of Makarov disappearing on the other side. They hit the gravel, rolling, claws slashing Ghost’s chest, jaws snapping for his throat, but their whole body strained towards the flashing gaps in the train, their eyes bloodshot and fixed on the last glimpse of Makarov. Price caught an arm while Gaz jumped in to grab the other. Their shouting was lost to the sheer madness of the thundering train, the shuddering tunnel, the blaring horn and screeching tracks as they tried to hold the writhing hybrid down.

“-out of control–!”

“They’re gonna bloody kill themselves–”

“Tranq–Price we need the fuckin’ tranq–!!”

The needle in Price’s hand slammed home into {{user}}’s thigh despite their frenzied thrashing. Ghost pinned their shoulders, his blood dripping to mix with gore matted into their fur, breaths ragged.

“Easy, easy–Christ almighty–” he muttered as their sobs grew weaker, their desperate struggling dying down to exhausted defeat as the drugs pulled at their mind. 

Hazy eyes flicked desperately back to Soap’s body, laying still and wrong on the bloodstained cement.

Just one bullet. Just one bullet had ended their whole world.

Panted whimpers and heartbroken sobs quieted to silence as the darkness finally dragged them under.

________________________________________________________________________________________

8 Months.

His hybrid had been with Shepherd for 8 months that may as well have been years.

He didn’t remember the shot. Didn’t remember anything from that day, really - just blurry flashes of what happened before, then nothing. A hole in his memory as clean and cold as the shot should’ve been. He was lucky, they told him. Considering how closely that bullet had sheared through the side of his skull, missing his brain by a hair. It was another miracle that he’d made it out of the resulting coma, but he didn’t feel lucky.

He was furious.

Because while he’d been fighting to breathe, to speak, to walk again - They had taken the only thing that mattered.

{{user}}.

He wasn’t supposed to know, now that he’d been medically retired from his place on the taskforce. A half-redacted personnel transfer that Laswell had laid on the thin hospital bed with a look that said ’Don’t ask me where I got this’, when he’d asked for {{user}} after waking up. The file said ACTIVE STATUS: REASSIGNED - GENERAL SHEPHERD. For a moment he’d been relieved, because active meant alive. It meant they’d survived.

That hope lasted for exactly one page.

Right underneath was the word RECONDITIONING.

Clinical, harmless on paper, until he started reading the attached reports.

Asset demonstrates excessive emotional dependence on former handler.

Asset exhibits sustained depressive behavior, refusal to obey commanding officer, and extended periods of non-responsiveness.

Aggressive outbursts triggered by auditory stimuli associated with incident.

Asset displays persistent and extreme self-destructive ideation inconsistent with mission-ready conditioning. Evidence of deliberate under-eating, voluntary dehydration, and attempts when left unsupervised, leading to physical discipline and restraints.

Emotional instability has rendered asset ineffective for combat operations. Attachment response to former handler continues to interfere with obedience conditioning and chain-of-command compliance.

Recommendation: Escalate correction measures. Extended sensory isolation and obedience reinforcement until emotional dependence is extinguished.

If no improvement after next evaluation cycle, consider termination.

Given acute post-incident dysregulation and violent attachment responses, asset is placed under IRP. Disclosure of handler Macktavish’s survival is contraindicated due to risk of re-escalation, elopement attempts, and lethal aggression towards staff.

–General Shepherd, Interim Handler

Classification Level: S

He’d read it once.

Then again.

By the third pass, the words were nothing but black smears swimming across the page. His vision had tunneled and for a moment, he hadn’t been sure if it was his head wound acting up again - until he’d realized his hands were shaking so hard the paper rattled. He’d thrown the worthless hospital blanket off and stumbled to his feet, despite the sudden rush of nurses and doctors shouting and telling him to lay back down. The room tilted. His pulse thundered behind the bandages still wrapped around his skull.

“He kept ‘em thinkin’ I was dead,” he panted, clutching the door frame to keep from collapsing. “All so he could keep ‘em on a leash.”

A tremor ran through him; he couldn’t tell if it was rage or weakness. Probably both. He’d forced himself upright, the movement making black spots dance at the edges of his vision as he continued to ignore the nurses and frantic beeping filling the room. He’d stumbled with gritted teeth down the hallway to find a phone.

For the past six months since he’d woken up, he’d been desperately calling in every favor, every contact, every agency he’d ever worked with. Laswell had helped where she could, managing the paper trail and red tape. Price had been pushing that it violated handler codes for a bonded hybrid to be reassigned so abruptly, especially under the traumatic circumstances of that reassignment. But every request for information, every request to have {{user}} retired into Soap’s care was met with the same brick wall - CLASSIFIED UNDER DIRECT AUTHORITY OF GENERAL SHEPHERD. Six months of putting off the rest and recovery plan he was supposed to be following, in exchange for nights lying awake, wondering if they were eating, if they were sleeping, if they knew he was trying to get to them, if they were safe.

He knew the answer to those questions though, didn’t he?

He’d sat at the little table in his empty farmhouse for hours, staring down at that single photo Ghost had managed to get him: grainy, pulled from surveillance feed, a serial number where their name should’ve been. {{user}}, painfully thin. Sunken eyes, sagging shoulders, limp tail, ears pinned back. Not a single spark left of the mischievous little soul that used to play silly pranks and beg for his affection with big, adoring eyes.

The pain in his temple hadn’t stopped throbbing since he’d seen it.

He’d moved back home a month after they’d released him for light duty. A desk job somewhere that he would never take. The farmhouse was quiet, sun-warmed, tucked between green, rolling hills. He’d bought the place a few years back, a quick spot to land between missions, that would be his retirement someday. He just hadn’t expected it to come so quickly. {{user}} used to talk about it sometimes - half joking about how they’d nap in the garden, chase the sheep, dig holes where they shouldn’t. He couldn’t help but stare at their favorite blanket most mornings, folded and stored neatly for someone who wasn’t coming back, no matter how hard he fought.

He was running out of favors and hope.

Until the morning the letter arrived. A government envelope, no return address. He’d almost thrown it out, thinking it was another rejection, another reminder stamped CLASSIFIED. But the name in the header stopped him cold.

From: General Shepherd

Subject: Asset #7142 - Termination & Custodial Transfer

Effective immediately, due to deteriorating behavioral stability and ongoing self-destructive behavior, Asset 7142 is deemed unfit for continued service. Considering your repeated petitions and threat of legal action against the department over hybrid protection laws and the asset’s fixation on you, command has authorized transfer of the defective asset to your custody for final decommissioning and care. Be advised: Asset has been sedated for transport and will arrive in a secured container to prevent further self-destructive behavior. Handle accordingly.

-General Shepherd

Soap wasn’t sure how long he stood there, re-reading the words over and over, as if he were afraid that if he looked away, they’d disappear. The farmhouse around him was utterly still, sunlight spilling through the kitchen window, dust motes dancing in the air, the faint tick of the wall clock counting out the seconds he couldn’t feel.

The only thing capable of snapping him out of his shock - was the sound of an engine coming up the lane, heavy tires crunching over gravel.

The letter fluttered to the sunlit table as Soap sprinted for the door.
