Well this is an unexpected turn of events(Phobos X Reader)

"So....let me get the full picture. You two have gotten over your quarrels and may have messed up a certain task near the electrical grid system of the Science Tower and now feel the need to fix it?" The director spoke, not really sounding convinced on this all.

"Yep-" you were about to reason only for Crackpot to cut you off, giving you a handsign to hold your mouth shut on this.
"Why yes my dear director. I simply wanted to lighten up my sector since it is rather dimm and I could not see my test subjects very well, We must have hit a wrong cable and now half of my sector is completely out. Why spend extra money on repairs when we can just fix our own mistakes." the deranged scientist talked away, adding more context which...honestly was made up.
"I assumed you were busy with Project Zed?" The god emperor questioned, further prying for the truth in this or some kind of twist
"Oh I am, I am, but as I have stated beforehand, I cannot see my test subjects and waiting for repair would simply take to long, I know what we messed up, we know how to fix it wiithin the day." Dr Crackpot doubled down on it
"....Very well. YET!" He started, you...did not like the tone of this whatsoever "I do demand double of the work done by the next day. That includes you too, Y/N." aaaand there was the catch in this all.
You were about to speak up but Crackpot gave you the sign again to shut up.
"Of course! Of course! Who are we to oppose your wishes, my god?" the way he talks almost sounds like flattery, constant praising after anything he told the director, probably a tactic of something.
"Now go. Before I decide against it." Phobos shoo-ed the 2 of you away, out of his office.

Well...this went better than you expected, BUT you do not like the fact that you now had to do double the work for tomorrow
"First of all...fuck you for accepting the double work deal...second, how do you convince him so..easely in your favour?" well part of you was rather curious afterall, since he woudnt let you talk whatsoever
"Well I have worked alot longer than you did here as well as have worked alot closer with him, I know what I have to use on him Y/N." It almost sounded like boasting..as if he is meaning to make you jealous or something.
"Uh-huh. What if he starts seeing through it?" You decided to push this topic as you walked back to Crackpots sector
"oh PLEASE, hes a narcicist. He CANT turn anyone down if they are on their knees begging for approval. Its giving him a sense of power which I in return like to exploit." Crackpot explained "...sadly your little interferances mess with that." he added now rather bitterly
You hate admitting it over and over again to yourself, he is rather smart, scaringly even so even with his....weird personality...and attitude. And what is with that sudden bitterness? Is he seeing you as some kind of...obstacle? Rival even? 
"What do you mean I mess with your tactics?" You decided to press that topic.
"Oh Y/N. Dont pretend as if you are stupid. You wouldnt have this job if you were. The Director likes you..and you obviously like him too, he starts to see you above his workers....and above ME, which in return makes my tactics weaker....how can I possibly further exploit this if Im not his favourite anymore." He explained
"Then WHY are you helping me?" Now that everything has been cleared up, this is a question that lingered in your mind
"Oh its simple really. If I help you then obviously the director sees me associated with you and if he THINKS we are friends..then I can simply re adjust my tactics." he explained as you entered the electrical area. 

Before you could speak up more you saw him de activate the lights of the room. It was pitch black now, the cameras couldnt pick you up anylonger in the room. You heard banging next to you and something before broken open.
"Come on." Crackpot grabbed your arm and guided you through the makeshift tunnel now, it still was utterly dark.
"Why are we here? ...and more importantly...where the hell even are we?" you questioned
"In the walls of the Science Tower, I use these ways to get around the tower quicker and without getting detected."  Crackpot said as he took out a flashlight, lighting up the small space.
"Still doesnt explain the WHY, Crackpot." you said rather sternly
"Well you seeeee, there are some abandoned rooms where the only access is through the walls, we simply use this as a path to get to a space thats...moreso a secret really. But it could help us with further dissonance research and thus we can find out how to detox you from it." He further explained as you navigated around the halls of this rather tight space, Crackpot held your hand as to guide you around right.
"Is this legal?" You decided to question
"Oh absolutely not." The deranged scientist explained
"I am not getting paid enough for this." you muttered out in annoyance
"No one in the tower is, but thats life isnt it?" he cackled as he halted for a second "steep drop....jump." he added
"wha-" but before you could even ask you were pushed down, you didnt fall long, 3 seconds at best , but...it still hurt. "CRACKPOT WHAT THE FUCK!" you groaned out in pain as you got up
"easiest way to get you down" you jumped as you heard his voice right next to you.
"YOU.....need to stop doing that, its creepy." you sighed out, deciding not to fight him on it.
"You can see now why i didnt tell you about this plan." He said as he grabbed your hand again
"because I would have said no?" you questioned
"exactly." he shrugged.

The 2 of you walked for a while, you dont know where he was even taking you, other than a restricted area you definetly should not be. It was dark and Dimm but you managed to keep your calm. Well that was until Crackpot halted and just announced "We are here." Tapping on the wall, he probably searched for weak spots in it.
You just kinda awkwardly stood there until he found said weak spot and opened it up
"Yep. This is the place" he said as he skittered through the hole.
As you went through yourself you found a rather messy looking room, its entrace sealed over with bricks, purple light dimmly illuminating the secret room.
"Start looking for anything that can help....oh and i suggest you make it quick, the dissonance in this place is high and i do not have any duplicate helmets to spare~" he simply said. You...doubted that helmet actually worked in his favour, oh well, you should start, what would panic bring in a place where you might actually find what you need.

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

You dont know how much time had passed, minutes, hours, your blurry, purple tinted sight made it hard to find any coordination in this all. All you pretty much knew right now is that Crackpot is dragging you up again, away from the room. 
"I didnt expect it to be that bad." Crackpot had to admit, he thought it would have been way weaker than he expected it to be.
You couldnt really speak, or do anything for that matter, you were pretty heavely hallucinating. 
Yet you saw things, people screaming at you to help them, you wanted to reach out, in any way shape or sort.
"Y/N, whatever you see isnt real. Stop interacting with it." Crackpot said, dragging you through the hole in the electrical room again.
"Shut up." You said in a bitter tone. You could feel yourself loose consciousness yet, not in a usual way, the purple just somewhat blinded you, took away your senses. "This is your fault, I was doing FINE until you brought me there" you added
"Ah shit. Guess you were a goner afterall. The Director wont be pleased with this but we cant just let anyone ran rampant because of high dissonance poisoning."  Crackpot shrugged, his voice seemed so distant to you now "I tried, i really tried Y/N. But now i have to come up with the lie that you just had an extreme spike while you were working" he added before your senses where completely gone, almost abruptly, the only thing left was a stinging and searing pain in your chest and head.

(A/N: This this is the end of act 2. May as well leave you all on a lil cliff hanger until next time ;))
