"A puppet?" || Scaramouche X Reader

"A puppet?"
I asked curiously, raising an eyebrow at the woman who was standing before me in hopes that all of this was just a silly joke.
Her usual cold expression turned into a proud smile

"Indeed it is. The Tsaritsa ordered me to create it for you. You should feel honored"
The woman proudly uttered while cleaning her hands off, after getting the naked figure out of some kind of water tub
"Why the hell would I need that…thing"
I asked with a slightly irritated tone
"For your next missions, surely you don't believe that you can keep on doing everything yourself?"

I rolled my eyes. Who does she think she is?!
Treating me like some kind of child who needs someone watching over them twenty-four-seven?
"It'll just get in my way as all the others did."
"I don't need it."
I clarified before turning around to take my leave

"You know what happens when you reject orders from her majesty."
"I already told you she was the one that wanted me to make it for you. If you're just gonna leave it I'll most definitely count as not following one of her orders"

I stopped in my tracks before looking back at her. You could see how her smile grew wider the moment she noticed that I had to give in

"Whatever, I will take it with me by dawn see you until then-"

"I would recommend you take it now or else you might get some trouble getting used to it later" sandrome cut me off. Her tone sounded like she would be ready to snap at me at any time

"How do I get it to start...?"

She looked at me with satisfaction before proudly exclaiming
Just say 'bring to life' and it will gain consciousness"
"Is it not working on your account?"
I asked noticing that the puppet didn't move an inch as she said it
"I created it individually just to respond to your demands. Perhaps that spiky teeth guy would've done anything to it if I haven't done it that way"
"Oh wow, I feel so honored."
"bring to life"

Seconds after saying those words, a huge cloud of smoke filled the room, although the smoke cloud held me against seeing where exactly the puppet was located. I was able to hear some strange noises coming from its direction.
Then all of a sudden the smoke left, leaving the puppet and me alone.
I quickly turned around the moment I noticed that the woman who caused me all those problems had left.
I let out a deep sigh in disbelief before facing the puppet's direction again.
You could clearly see how much work Sandrome had put into this 'project'.
Her clear skin and E/C eyes bound perfectly with her H/C hair. It's almost impressive to see how much she looked like a normal mortal

"Greetings."
She spoke, slightly parting her lips.
"Guess it does work after all."
I mumbled thinking that no one but me would be able to hear it

"Well, it's all yours, also I forgot to mention that you won't be able to turn it off again. Anyhow, enjoy yourselves"
I suddenly hear Sandrome say from behind me
"Fucking bitch"
I cursed, turning around in an instant. She just looked at me with an almost unnoticeable smile before leaving the scene.
'why do things like this always happen to me?'
I asked myself before shifting my gaze to the puppet again
"Who was that lady?"
The puppet asked with an innocent voice
"I guess you could say that she is your creator"
"My creator?"
The figure confusedly repeated.
"Indeed, now come with me. We gotta get you something to wear."
I spoke before removing my kimono-like jacket to put it over the doll's shoulders.

As I guided her to my office we got interrupted by a certain ginger
"Found a friend?"
"Shut up."
Childe raised his arms in return stating
"Hey Woah! Don't get all angry with me, little guy, I was just trying to show you some kindness"
"Worry about your own things"
I then turned around and ironically waved at him with the puppet still following me from behind.
