(LONG HIATUS) CORRUPTED TEARS - A bfb/tpot AU

▕ 01 ▏

In the morning, TPOT is on break and everyone is doing their things. But somewhere, there's Eraser 'bullying' Teardrop, she looks really annoyed with his complainings. TD tries to make Eraser stop, pushing him as strong as she can, but it's getting harder to let him do it.

"Nuh uh, you'll not kill me this time!" Eraser said to TD, pushing back.

TD drops after he pushed her, saying no words yet, but crossed her arms with a frown.

"You not saying anything makes no sense! Why didn't you talk? Because you don't care about others?" Eraser tries to push a bit harder on TD. She's more mad, but moving her hands.

Eraser already smug on her face "I knew I was right." Eraser told "You'll see when TPOT is back, I'll let you lose by your own ignorance and I will win this game!"

Teardrop stood up in rage and slapped his face, Eraser put his hand on his face with a frown. TD walked away, tired of everyone who didn't understand how and WHY can't she talk.

...

A little while later, she went to her room in the hotel, walking inside and quickly locking the door behind her. She looked around the small room. There was a bed for sleeping, and a table with a plate on it in the main room. An open door in the back revealed a bathroom. The whole place was colored blue, much like Teardrop, except for a door with a sign reading "DO NOT ENTER" and a password lock.

Teardrop walked up to this door, and entered the password, her hand movements showing a sense of familiarity with this lock. The door opened with a click, and she entered, making sure to close the door.

This room contained a bunch of lab equipment, cabinets and drawers filled with papers, and several screens and monitors placed around the room.

There were a few screens in one corner of the room, each showing surveillance footage both inside and outside, the most prominent things in the room was all relating to teardrop's research and experiments, besides the cabinets there were also various test tubes and measuring equipment and note-taking tools strewn around the room. Most important, however, was the computer in the back of the room, and the printer attached to it.

Teardrop walked up to the computer, and turned it on. She saw one of her most recent ideas for an experiment. TD always wanted to get a voice in a while so people can understand her better, other than moving her hands.

She got this lab months ago, to try to recreate the blaster that she had lost during one of the challenges. After managing to mostly recreate it, it left her with an increased interest in science, mostly just creating little inventions and things of that nature. But now she wanted to make something more, which led her to doing her current experiment.

She sat down, and began thinking and typing, plotting out the experiment.

After 2 hours she finally finished typing, it has the formula she needed, some stuff and how to do it, then she printed it out. After she finished, she stood up and turned off her computer, and went to the table to gather the items she'd need for this experiment.

...

1 hour later, TD finished her experiment, it is a red-ish liquid on a syringe. She checked if it actually worked by picking the experiment and slowly putting it on her body, kinda afraid.

Teardrop waits until she feels the effect in the liquid, suddenly she gets blank, like her mind is beginning to be 'foggy', looks like it's working. She leaves the lab and goes into her bed, laying there. After thinking so many things, she leaves her bed and stares at the ground.

She stood there for a while, head still foggy, before abruptly saying, "Is it worki-" She almost couldn't believe it. She spoke, yelled, whispered, and laughed, happy to finally get a voice. And she laughed, and laughed, and laughed... Then her eyes began to glow, and her laugh turned into a distorted cackle...

What's wrong with her?
