~A Perilous and Poisonous Escape~ [MYCT x F!Reader SCP Au]

52 ~ Unexpected visitor

This morning at the lab ruins

Large bland slabs of concrete and rubble shifted as something struggled. The struggling stopped, only for something to illuminate a bright neon blue. A single glitchy/misty hand shot out, heaving the concrete slab off itself. It revealed a creature that seemed to have parts of him glitching and turning to bright neon blue mist. Their skin was light grey with speckles of white. The creature had ivory white horns that faded into the same neon blue, the blue mist also coming from there. They seemed to be glitching with a few pixels floating here and there around them. Their eyes where glowing light flashlights with bright blue pupils.

They were injured, bleeding here and there. And there blueish-grey hair was scruffy. It looked down at the dark blue bloodstains it was leaving on the concrete. It sighed, and inspected its torn and dirtied clothes. Brushing off its clothes it walked around the rubble looking for something. Soon it had come across what it was looking for. A pair of goggles was semi-buried in the rubble. The glitchy creature walked over to the goggles and picked them up, hissing from pain as it did so. It blew off some dust, then promptly put them on its face. It tapped the frame twice and grinned as it lit up. Showing text in slabs of an unknown language.

Their body glitched furiously as it became more human-like. And then the creature started to leave the crater.

Noon at Puffy's place

Sam had been working away in the shed all day, every day, for the past week. Puffy enjoyed watching him work, Sam was so connected to his little world of work that he'd forget about everything around him. His current project seemed to be a pair of otherworldly centaur legs, the reminded her of EHM-CR33P37 (Experimental, Hostile, Mob). Which Sam had a sentimental connection with, he was heartbroken to hear that it had died from its own abilities. She'd thought he'd let go of that, but this creation doesn't seem to be one of sadness.

Sam had gotten his SCP exposure from it, which was unexpected as it was an EHM and was artificially created by the lab.

Puffy walked through the cozy hallways of her house as she headed to the garage. She opened its door slowly, looking around the warmly lit room until she spotted Sam. He was now working on green armour and a gas mask to accompany the legs.

Sam had explained some of his thought process at dinner one night. He explained that the legs were for when he couldn't use them anymore, (the doctor said they would be operative for a while longer if he didn't stress all too much) (idk ok?) and he decide that the armour and mask would look cool with it. Plus he could use them when handling certain dangerous SCP's.

Puffy didn't exactly understand what he was doing now. Currently it looked like he was trying to make a dye system that makes all the CO2 that he is exhaling become green when it exits the gas mask so it would look cooler. She understood how it looked cool, but she didn't understand why he was doing this.

Was he doing this to entertainment? Was Puffy's activities boring? Did he not enjoy movie night or playing board games with her?

"Of course not Puffy!" She heard from the workbench. Sam had turned his attention onto her, slipping his golden (spray painted) goggles on top of his head.

"Oh gosh, did I say that out loud?" She asked.

"Yeah.. but don't worry! I'm just a bit stressed and all, and forging and creating things is just what I do when I'm stressed." Puffy sighed a relived sigh.

"Well, I won't say that it isn't a bad stress reliving activity, but there are certainty other ways to go about it. If you need you can talk to me. I am a therapist after all."  Sam nodded and turned back to his work. Puffy turned around to leave before his voice called out.

"Wait-! Puffy before you go can you make a important decision for me?"

Puffy paused, looking back at Sam. "Yeah sure, go ahead."

"Should the armour match this crown and be gold or stay green?" He showed her a sketch of a crown with glowing red jewels in it.

"I'd say match the crown, but it's up to you Sam. Now I'll start lunch, and you better come to the table for it today." She smiled waving to Sam as she walked out of the garage.

After the pasta was on the boil, Puffy took her cup of coffee and sat down on her armchair, reading the latest newspaper.

'Ding dong!'

The bell out front was rung.

Puffy got up, placing her mug on the coaster and the newspaper on the side table.

"Who is it?!" She heard Sam ask, raising his voice so it would echo around the house easier.

"Come on out from that garage of yours and find out! It'd be good if you touched some grass once in a while!" She replied as she walked toward the front door. Sam had soon arrived  wiping the oil and grease from his gloves into his apron and placing his goggles in his hair. He then took off his gloves and put them in the front pocket of his apron. Sam's face was a bit stained everywhere but where the goggles covered.

Puffy opened the door to a man with goggles on and scruffy hair, he had a damaged lab uniform on and was a bit dirtied up, with some dry blue stuff caking here and there where it seemed there were cuts before.

They opened their mouth to say something before they were cut off by Puffy's mother mode activating.

"My god what happened to you?! Come in inside so we can help you out." She ushered the stranger in and closed the door behind her. Leading them to the kitchen table.

"Sam could you please get the first aid kit while I figure out what happened."

Sam nodded and left the room, waking to the bathroom.

"So Sam is staying here..." the newcomer mumbled. "Good..."

"What was that?" Puffy asked, failing to catch onto what the guest said.

"Never mind." He changed the topic.

"Ok then. Are you a tea person or coffee person?"

"Tea please, earl grey if you have some." They answered politely.

Puffy set down his tea on a coaster in front of him, before heading the the living room to grab her discarded coffee. She returned shortly afterwards and sat down opposite of the newcomer.

Sam entered the room when she finally asked the big question.

"So what happened to mess you up so bad?"

"Oh, you know... the lab explosion."
