-In the name of science- [Dottore x gn!reader]

•••

Little dust particles floated before my eyes as I stared at the sun slowly showing itself through the windows. The vague streaks of light illuminating the floor of the headquarters indicated that my work will begin soon.

Quickly i found myself standing before a familiar entrance. I took one big breath but before my hand reached the metal surface of the door a vague noise of a conversation stopped me.

Is someone there? Or maybe Dottore is just talking to himself. That's definitely a possibility.

To ease my curiosity I finally knocked on the door. The muffled sounds stopped and soon the entrance began to open.

In a matter of seconds before me stood an unfamiliar man. He wore a lab coat topped off with a fashionable hot pink bowtie. His hair was the same shade of blue as Dottore's, but that wasn't the only similarity between those two. He also wore a mask, though his was way different than that of the doctor. It covered most of the man's face leaving only holes for his mouth and red eyes that seemed to be thoroughly analyzing me. He also wore an identical test tube looking earring.

Is it possible that those two are related?

We both stood there awkwardly looking at eachother for a while, before he finally decided to speak up.

"What is this pathetic creature doing here"
Even though he spoke looking at me it was obvious that it was directed towards Dottore, who soon appeared next to the man.

"That is our new assistant so restrain yourself from such comments" He spoke glancing at him.

"This is our assistant? Please they'd be more useful as a test subject. Let's spare us the wasted time and cut them open already. I can feel they're going to be a pain in the ass"

Before I managed to give this dick a piece of my mind Dottore sighed and spoke up again.

"You're the only pain in the ass at the moment so quit yapping and do the job I assigned to you." He sounded clearly irritated. "Something must've went wrong during the cloning process because I refuse to believe I was such an incompetence fool at your age"

Wait, wait, wait... Cloning process? What is he on about? Is that ass really Dottore's clone? It makes sense looking at their similarity in looks, but how is that even possible?

The "clone" tried to say something but got quickly cut off.

"Quit. Yapping."

Dottore's eyes were covered by a mask but I could sense the death glare he was giving the other guy from a mile. The "clone" didn't even try to argue and walked away further into the lab, giving me a glare in the process.

I looked at him then at the Doctor, who was visibly annoyed. He read my confusion with ease and quickly started to explain the situation.

"My apologies, y/n. That prick is a result of one of my experiments. He's my clone, but it's clear that he's nowhere near perfection"

"You clone yourself?" The question was natural. After all clones isn't something you see on regular basis. Then again this is the Fatui, organisation full of lunatics, and I was currently standing in front of probably the biggest one

"Of course! It would be a shame to let my brilliance fade to time. So it was logical to preserve it some way and what better way then to clone myself? Though as you saw this is still a process that needs to be polished" He purposely glanced at the clone, who was busy staring at some test tubes in a way that made it look like his two braincells were working overtime to produce a thought

I looked at Dottore after a moment of thinking

"If you can just clone yourself then what am I needed for?"

He shook his head before answering

"Isn't it obvious? What I need from you is a fresh way of thinking. I'm hoping that you'd manage to acquire me with new angles on my work" he scoffed "Maybe 'hoping' is a little too light. I'm expecting this. That's better. Remember, its important for you to fulfill those expectations. Or I'll be forced to find someone else who will"

I shuddered a little under his creepy smile. In most scenarios this would mean getting fired, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple with Dottore. He doesn't strike me as a man who'd waste an opportunity for a new subject.

"But I do have high hopes about you" He said taking my jaw in between his fingers and forcing me to look at him. "Don't disappoint me"

He let go and turned around on his heel gesturing me to go in after him. So I did. I walked into the lab and followed behind him to a nearby table where a couple of papers were already layed out.

"So, uh, what are the plans for today" I asked unsure

"Today, my dear assistant, we will be discussing how to use the technology that was made to create ruin guards in biological advancements of the fatui!" He spoke with evident excitement

I looked at the sheets then at him like he was insane, which he was

"And to help with that joining us today will be this guy" he said pointing somewhere

When I looked there I saw a man strapped to a surgical chair, and one of the clones already doing something to him. My eyes widened

"Read through the projects and I'll get the prototypes ready!"

And so he walked away with his characteristical maniacal smile and left me standing speechless over the gruesome looking project. What the absolute fuck have I signed myself into...
