My Rescue From Atrocity

cw // violence, fighting, cursing

—

Y/N jumped in surprise of what they heard and saw. Holy shit, it was a creature that looked oddly like Archer with Eleanor and Aoife behind them. No way, Y/N thought. How did they know where he lived? Either way, Y/N didn't care. They were finally gonna be free from Archer, free from the atrocity known as the corruption of love.

"Put your hands up, you cretin." The person said.
Archer turned around in shock giving a death stare to the people behind xem. He stood still as a star in the sky. Y/N would have chuckled at that comparison. Xe wasn't a star at all- xe didn't shine, xe didn't provide wishes to people. It was all lies. He lied to everyone.

"You damn- what are you doing here?!" Archer spat out at the other person standing in front of him.
"What am I doing here?! I could ask the same thing, buddy. Now, hand over Y/N, and then we can figure something out." They said with a condescending tone. Which fits because surely this guy who was trying to rescue them was better than Archer.
"And why would I do that, dumbass? You think I'm just gonna-" and at that moment, the creature strikes at him, slashing his face. Archer immediately recoiled. "I see now." Xe said under xyr breath.

He was then suddenly put on a face of complete focus and preparation. In a swift moment, Archer ran at the other figure which resulted in a slam to the ground. Y/N cringed as they saw that the person saving them was kinda losing but it made them feel better to know that their friends, Eleanor and Aoife were trying their best to help the person out.

Once the fighting had slowed down, the two adversaries stared at each other. And then, you'll never believe what happens next, the other person slams Archer to the floor and stomps on his chest. Heaving in pain, Archer is on the ground. Y/N managed to kick him for good measure. He was knocked out. Not dead, just stillness.
"Holy shit," Y/N audibly murmured "We just defeated Archer!" The group all looked at each other before this person that saved Y/N started helping them get untied from the chair. They then remembered that their shoulder was bleeding from earlier... I guess they got so caught up in the panic that they forgot their shoulder was cut.

"Thank you so, SO much." Y/N said to the other person. The other person smiled at them. "No problem, let's go get you some medical help. Eleanor, Aoife, make sure he stays down while you guys call the cops." Y/N is then picked up by this.. person. Who they yet to know the name of. "So. Uhm. What's your name?"

The person does not looks down at them while they are carrying them. "Uh. Just call me Clicker. You must be Y/N."
Y/N, stubbed that this practical stranger knows their name, looks at them. "Wait a minute, how do you know my name?" Clicker chuckled a bit which makes Y/N question if this guy was trustable.. I mean they saved them so hopefully but. Just to be safe, they didn't expect much of them. "Well, let's just say I have been studying Archer's antics for a verrry long time."

Y/N stared at him. "So you knew what he's been doing?"
"Well, yeah. I am a journalist. I write in newspapers a lot."
"Huh."

The rest of their conversations were mostly just small talk as Clicker was taking Y/N to the hospital to patch up their scar on their shoulder. While the nurses were detoxifying, cleansing, and patching up the scar Y/N couldn't help but think about what Aoife and Eleanor were doing there. And about how Clicker only got involved now. And if Y/N's friends forgave them. They wondered if their friends were gonna be safe back at the basement with Archer. Usual curious Y/N things.

Y/N and Clicker had returned to the house where Archer had kept Y/N and found the police outside. They were about to head in when they saw a police officer standing outside the door.
"I'm sorry, but we can't let you enter because this is a forensic crime scene."
Clicker and Y/N glanced at each other before walking over to meet with Eleanor and Aoife. "So. Hey guys." Y/N said. The two people looked at Y/N. "Hey. Uhm. So... I guess we were right about Archer...? Haha.." Eleanor said. Y/N grimaced. "Yeah. I'm uh.. really sorry that I didn't believe you guys. It's all my fault, I'm sorry" Eleanor and Aoife looked pensively at Y/N.
"No, we forgive you. And it wasn't your fault he was manipulating you." Aoife said.
"Yeah. Thank you." Y/N replied.
Clicker awkwardly looked around, as if a reply to the personal conversation the three were having. It was then that Y/N saw Archer be hauled into the police car. He finally got what he deserved.
