Ghostbusters Egon Spengler x Reader

Mental Hospital

The Ghostbusters exit the police car, and the Mayor's Doorman gasps at the sight of them, "Whoa! Ghostbusters! Guys, come right this way. Say, you guys got an extra one of those proton packs? My kid brother really wants one." Egon shakes his head as he passes the doorman, "The proton pack is not a toy."

"I guess he's right." Ray murmurs, following Winston. The Class 5 floated inside and followed the Ghostbusters inside an office. Hardemeyer was sitting in a chair, waiting for the Mayor to walk in. "I don't like that guy..." Y/N mutters to Laura. The ghost could see why.

The Gracie Mansion Mayor enters the room, and the Ghostbusters greet him, "Lenny... big man!"

"Ghostbusters." The Mayor grumbles.

"Mr. Mayor? Winston offers his hand, but it is refused. The Mayor stares at Spengler, Ray, and Winston, "What is this, a slumber party?" He questions in disbelief as Hardemeyer laughs. The Ghostbusters all talk at once. "Look, I don't wanna hear anything about it. You've got two minutes. Make it good." The Mayor turns away from them and sits down.

"Well, first of all, Mr. Mayor, it's a great pleasure to see you again, and we'd just like to say that almost 50% of us voted for you in the last election." Ray tries to sugar-coat it. The Mayor nods, "I appreciate that."

Peter gestures to the state the three Ghostbusters were in, "I'm just sorry we always have to meet under these circumstances." The Queen floats behind Spengler, hoping he doesn't sense her presence as her eyes are trained on the Mayor. Ray clears his throat, "Mr. Mayor, we are here tonight because a psychomagnotheric slime flow of immense proportions is building beneath the city."

"Psycho-what?"

"Psychomagnotheric." Egon repeats the word slower for the Mayor to understand. Peter glimpses to the side, "Big word. Big word."

"Negative human emotions are materializing in the form of a viscous, psychoreactive plasm with explosive supernormal potential." Egon explains. The Mayor shakes his head and stands up, "Does anybody speak English here?"

The Queen covers her mouth to hide the snort.

Winston walked up to the Mayor, "Yeah. Your Honor, see, what we're trying to tell you is like, all the bad feelings, all the hate, the anger, and vibes of this city is turning into the sludge! Now, I didn't believe it at first either, but we just went for a swim in it, and we ended up almost killing each other!"

Hardemeyer shakes his head, "This is insane! I mean, do we really have to listen to this?"

Peter glares at him, "Can't you stop your lips from flapping for two little minutes?! Lenny, have you been out on the street lately? Do you know how weird it is out there? We've taken our own head count. There seem to be three million completely miserable assholes living in the tri-state area!"

Hardemeyer rolls his eyes, "Oh, please."

Peter walks up to Hardemeyer, "I beg your pardon. Three million and one."

"Hey!"

Ray turns his attention back to the Mayor, "And what budgie-brain here doesn't realize is that if we don't do something fast, this whole place is gonna blow like a frog on a hot plate."

Hardemeyer scoffs, "Yeah, right."

"What am I supposed to do? Go on television and tell ten million people they have to be nice to each other? Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right. Your two minutes are up! Good night, gentlemen." The Mayor leaves as the Ghostbusters call for him.

"Oh... the Times is gonna be interested in this... And you know the polls are gonna be down!" Peter faces the boys as they each title the names that would be on the papers. Winston nods, "'Mayor Hides Slime'..."

"'Times Square Slime'?" Ray adds.

Egon crosses his arms, "Slime Square?"

"Yeah, Slime Square." Ray replied. The Queen giggles quietly as Hardemeyer stands up before them, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Fine, fine, fine. Now, before you go running off to the newspapers with this, would you consider telling this slime business to some of our people downtown?"

Peter stares at him, "It's gotta be done right away." Hardemeyer nods his head, "One moment..." He walks out, leaving the Ghostbusters alone. Winston gazes at the walls and feels the presence of a female in the room. Spengler also felt her presence earlier while the Mayor was talking.

"We're not alone in this room. Are we?" Winston asks. Peter stares at the ceiling, "No, we are not..."

Egon slowly turns around and sees red eyes staring back at him. Ray also spots the eyes and jumps back in shock, "Whoa!" The apparition evolves, and the Queen appears before them. Before either of them could say anything, Hardemeyer's voice echoes from the hall, followed by a few other voices. Spengler turns back to the Queen, only to see that she has disappeared.

The Ghostbusters are committed to the Parkview Hospital forcefully by the police and doctors. Ray was shouting, "Vigo's gonna come back! The whole city's in danger! The whole state, the whole world! All we wanna do is help!" The boys struggled in straight jackets as the doctors pushed them down the hospital hall.

Hardemeyer turns to the Psychiatrist, "The Mayor wants them kept under strict observation for the next few days. We think they're seriously disturbed and potentially dangerous." The doctor nods, "Well, we'll do whatever's necessary."

"Thank you, doctor." Hardemeyer nods and walks down the hall as the Ghostbusters are put into a small, contained room.

The Class 5 floats in the Parkview Hospital, searching for the Ghostbusters. She spots Hardemeyer laughing as he exits the building. "Grrr..." She growled and continued down the hall.

"As I explained before, we think the spirit of a 17th-century Moldavian tyrant is alive and well in a painting at the Manhattan Museum of Art."

The ghost stops at the sound of Ray's voice and makes her way to a secluded area.

"Mm-hmm. And are there any other paintings in the museum with bad spirits in them?" A man questions. Laura Parr hides her form and enters the room to see Peter's head on the table and the others staring at the doctor. Egon glares at the Psychiatrist, "You're wasting valuable time! He's drawing strength from a psychomagnotheric slime flow that's been collecting under the city."

"Yes, tell me about the slime."

Winston sighs, "It's very potent stuff. We made a toaster dance with it."

"A toaster."

"And a bathtub tried to eat his friend's baby." Ray gestures to Peter.

"A bathtub?" The doctor gazes at Peter as he lifts his head up, "Don't look at me; I think these people are completely nuts." Egon sighs and plops his head on the table. He could feel her presence in the room, and she is watching them.
