Mercy for Empathy (Able X Male!Reader)

Criminal?

The first thing you saw upon opening your eyes was Able who was stoking the flames of the dying fire.

You stood slowly-Ables eyes were trained on you.

"We need to be on the move today. I'm not sure entirely how much ground we're going to have to cover..."

You sighed.

"So for now we're going to need to find a lake or water source."

"Why? There's plenty of snow. Can't we just melt it for water?"

Grabbing your bag, you walked over to Able.

"Sure we could but I meant more as it's an easily visible point from the sky. That and it provides water and fish."

"Visible...?"

"Well if we don't find a way out of here we may have to depend on the foundation's search units."

Able went quiet- Training his intense gaze to the ground.

"Able....?"

You questioned hesitantly.

"Who..."

"What is it?"

Ables orbs suddenly bore intensely into yours.

"............."

"Who said we had to go back?"

.............................................................

"Sir! Sir! Please wait Mr.chairman!"

The bearded man stopped, the security surrounding him following his lead.

"Dr.Bright? What is it that you need?"

"It's about Alpha nines operation in Norway."

The chairman nodded, lifting a hand to dismiss his security from the room so the two of them could speak privately.

One of the guards nodded, motioning for the others to follow and positioning themselves outside of the room.

"Now..."

The chairman began.

"What was it you wanted to discuss about Alpha nine?"

"Well sir....after a fair amount of Reconnaissance- we've managed to get a hold of the Operations NCO that was in charge of the mission."

"And...?"

"All seemed to be going well until some on-site explosives detonated at the site."

"Ah...do we have a casualty count?"

"N...No, that's still under assessment but that's the least of our problems it would appear."

"What do you mean?"

"Scp 076-2 Hasn't re-manifested within Scp 076-1."

The chairman went silent.

"....Was he found at the scene?"

Dr. Bright cleared his throat nervously.

".....No."

Dr. Bright trained his eyes on the table.

"....Yes?"

Bright leaned back in his chair, releasing an exasperated breath.

".....The only thing recovered was the tracking collar."

The chairman inhaled sharply.

"So he's MIA- Untraceable, unpredictable and he's possibly been released into the general population?"

The chairman hissed through gritted teeth.

The dark-haired man nodded.

"But sir there's hundreds of miles of forest-"

The chairman swiped the papers from the desk while standing abruptly.

"If anyone should know what he's capable of-"

The chairman hissed ripping the door open.

"-It's you. Bring me the squad leader and the operations NCO. NOW."

Bright merely nodded, watching the Chairman walk out of view.
