Ghostbusters Egon Spengler x Reader

River Of Slime

Y/N was with Egon at the same place at night. Egon, dressed as a road worker, drills through the ground. Y/N stood to the side, making sure that neither of them got hurt. Y/F/N was too freaked out to be around the Ghostbusters, so she hung around at Dana's apartment. Glimpsing up, Y/N spots a police car moving toward them. The window rolls down, and the cop calls out to Egon, "Hey! How ya doing?"

Egon stops drilling and quickly glances around before facing the cop, "Me?"

"Yeah."

Egon quickly answers him, "Fine, fine! It's cutting fine now!" He steals a quick look in Y/N's direction. Y/N sends the cop a smile, "It's going great."

The cop nods, then turn to Egon, "Great. Why are you cutting?"

"Why am I cutting?"

"Yeah."

Egon spots Peter and Ray coming up and calls out to them, "Boss!" Peter and Ray come running to him, "Who told you to stop cutting? Someone tells you to stop cutting?" Peter faces the cop, "Did you tell him to stop cutting?"

"Yes, I told him to stop cutting. What are you doing?"

"What does it look like we're doing? Why don't you let us work? We let you work!" Peter barks. Y/N nervously steps closer to Egon, keeping a neutral face. Then, realizing her nervousness, Egon slowly grabbed her hand and rubbed his thumb over it.

Ray pats Peter's shoulder, "Take it easy." He goes to the cop car, "He's been working overtime. I'll tell you why we're here, we're here because some diaper back downtown is being a jerk and making us work on a Friday night. Am I right, Peter?"

"Of course, you're right, Raymond. Is he right, Ziggy?" Peter turns to Egon, and the two get the message, "Yo!" Egon raises his arm, and they all giggle. "All right, take it easy, all right?" The cops drive away. Y/N releases a shaky breath and fixes her hat, "He's gonna come back..." She whispered. Egon pats her back and glares at Peter and Ray.

"What have you been doing?" Ray asks, still holding a tray of coffee.

Egon pokes Ray's chest, "What have I been doing? While you're getting coffee for an hour? I've been digging a big hole in the middle of the street!" Y/N was looking down the hole, noticing a strange smell intimidating below. Ray joins her side, "Wow! Looks like you've uncovered an old airshaft! It just goes on and on!"

"It's very intense. We should get a deeper reading." Egon suggests, taking Y/N's arm and pulling her closer to him. Ray nods, "Yeah, we're gonna need a deeper reading."

"Yeah, somebody has to go down there." Egon and Y/N stare at Peter. "Yeah, somebody's gotta go down there," Ray repeats before realizing that all three are staring at him. He drops his head and groans. Y/N giggles, "Thanks for volunteering, Ray."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"You all right?" Peter communicates through the radio while Ray is being lowered on a wire underground.

*Yeah, I'm good. Speed's good, boys. Keep it coming. We're breaking through; I see some light. I'm in some kind of a chamber. There's tilework- SLIME!!!*

"What?" Peter faces Y/N and Egon in confusion.

*It's a river of slime! There's gotta be 25,000 gallons of it! It's flowing through here like a river! Van Horne! Pneumatic transit. I can't believe it! It's the old pneumatic transit system! It's still here! Okay! Whoa, whoa! That's good! Hold me up! Hold me up! That's good!*

Peter talks through the radio as the police car returns, "What do you see?"

*All right, let's see if I can get a sample.*

"What's going on here? Hey! What's the story?" The same cop appears, getting out of his car, followed by the Con Ed supervisor. Peter turns off the walkie and stomps up to them. Y/N trembles slightly, knowing what is going to happen. Egon joins his side.

"Hey, what, you boneheads are gonna roust me out again? I've got three thousand phones out on Greenwich Village! I got about eight million miles of cable I gotta check! You gonna come and shake my monkey tree again?" Peter yells at them. The Con Ed supervisor stares at Peter and points behind him, "What are you talking about, buddy? The phone lines are over there!"

Peter glances over and faces Egon, "What'd I say to you?!" He whacks Egon over the head angrily, "The phone lines are over there!" He whacks Egon on the helmet again, "What'd I say? How many times?!" He hits him one more time before the cop interrupts. "Hey! Hey! Hey! You're not with Con Ed or the phone company. We checked. So tell me another one."

Peter thinks for a moment before walking to the hole, "I got a major gas leak here!" He points to some steam coming from the spot, "Where do you think all this is coming from? The sky?" Y/N slowly lowers her helmet over her eyes, knowing that she is spending the night in jail. "This is not good..." She murmurs. Peter turns on his walkie in time to hear Ray's voice call through in a panic.

*Hey, help! Pick me up!*

"Hey! Start! Start!" Peter and Egon sprint to the hole and start bringing Ray up, *Boys? Hey, what's going on up there? Come on! Get me out of this hole! Aggh!* The sound of a pipe crashing into a power wire from the ground, making everything goes dark in First Avenue. Then the whole city gets dark. The cop shines a flashlight at them as Ray is pulled out of the hole with the help of Egon and Y/N. 

"Sorry..." He murmured.

Y/N turns to the cop and the Con Ed supervisor, her legs shaking. The boys stared at the cop and swallowed. "Alright, you four are coming with us." The cop spoke. Y/N's face paled and felt like she would collapse. The cop noticed her trembling and opened the car's passenger door, "Ma'am, you will be sitting in the front," He faced the boys, "As for you three, in the back."

Y/N doesn't say a word, and the cop watches her for a long moment, "You've been in this much trouble before, ma'am?" She shook her head no, sitting in the front. Egon sat behind her seat and whispered to her, "Y/N? Breathe. You will be fine."

Peter sat between him and Ray, "Well, this is perfect." The cop enters the car and drives them to the station.
