Mercy for Empathy (Able X Male!Reader)

Prepared?

"Alrighty ladies, gentleman and...."

The captain glanced around at all of the SCP's.

"......Anomalies. Before we talk about our strategies we need to lay down our ground rules. First things first..."

The captain wrung his hands for a moment.

"...There will be no killing of innocent civilians or foundation staff."

Almost all of the elite field agents glanced over at Able nervously.

Able held his scoff in.

"Number two...we ask that you do your best to keep out of the public eye. Each of you have tracking devices so any form of escape attempt will be futile. And number three...We ask that you try to contain the anomalies as best you can. Bring us the artifact in one piece."

Finally the captain sighed.

"You'll notice that each of you have been given an extra object- A flashlight and spare batteries. It would seem that the anomalie within these dark underground caves is weak to light source. The flashlights will surely come in handy."

Able glanced at the flashlight curiously and you almost smiled.

You'd probably have to show him how to switch it on.

Reaching over you gently tapped at the switch.

"This is how you turn it on..."

You mumbled softly.

"This?"

Able questioned, tapping the switch.

"Yes, you push it up- no, no..."

You replied softly, grabbing a hold of the hand that held the flashlight- putting your hand over his you pushed his thumb against the button.

*click*

Able leaned back in surprise.

"It's....the sun? The sun's in this thing?"

You bit your lip to keep from laughing, glancing over at the other agents who were busy trying to grab their supplies.

"No, it's just electricity Able."

"Elec...Elect-ursity?"

You bit your lips harder.

"Electricity."

"Like...what?"

You wracked your mind.

"Kind of like.....Lightning."

"There's....Lightning in here?"

"Yes, you could say that."

You replied softly, snickering just a little.

Finally you glanced up a bit noticing how many pairs of eyes were on the two of you.

They all seemed to eye Able warily.

"Hello..."

A familiar voice spoke softly.

Your gaze shot up to meet the small blond girls.

"O...Oh...Hi there."

You greeted calmly, mentally begging for no altercations.

Able looked over at Iris, not saying anything.

"I'm...I'm sorry. I've never introduced myself before-"

Iris began, sticking her hand out for you to shake.

"-my Name is Iris."

You gently took a hold of her hand, shaking it.

"Nice to finally properly meet you. My name is Y/n."

You replied softly.

Iris seemed to glance over at Able warily.

"Are you....in charge of overseeing Able?"

You nodded cautiously.

"You could say that."

"I see..."

She murmured softly, shooting one more sympathetic glance between you and Able before leaving.
