Bread on Toast - A Future Man Fanfiction

A Fuel's Errand

Warnings: strong language, Wolf does cocaine, mentions of violence

  Tiger and Wolf had no trouble lugging Carl's corpse down the stairwell, but Josh and Liv were stumbling down the stairs, carrying what's her name's corpse as both of their panic set in.

"Oh my God, oh my God, shit, holy shit, oh my God-" Liv repeated over and over, her mind racing.

"SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT-" Josh was yelling over her.

"Stop shitting!" Tiger yelled at him as her and Wolf took a sharp turn down the stairs.

"Why didn't the game say they were human?!" Josh asked frantically.

"We didn't want to humanize them!" Tiger shouted.

"What's with the nutsack faces?"

"It's a biomembrane, it helps them heal faster! Why'd you block our shot?" Tiger responded harshly.

"Oh my God, these are people we fucking work with." Josh didn't answer Tiger's question.

"They're barely human, they're grown in labs!" Wolf yelled.

"Why the FUCK did you block our shot?" Tiger shouted again, growing more frustrated with Josh.

"Because killing Kronish won't help! Okay? His research is already out there, the cure could come from anywhere!" Josh said.

"Yeah, thanks to you two dick weevils." Wolf grumbled.
"Are there more of these things?" Liv finally spoke up through her shock of having to touch a dead body.

"Of course! They're sleeper agents, they knew we came back to 2017 and they sent them earlier to hide in plain sight." Tiger explained, clearly annoyed that Josh and Liv didn't know this information.

"That's kinda cool I guess," Josh said in a strained voice.

"Let's just leave 'em here." Wolf suggested, letting Carl's body slump to the ground. Tiger let go too and Carl landed flat on his face.

"What? No! We can't just leave these dead bodies here?!" Josh shook his head frantically. "You also can't leave anything from the future in the past, it will fuck things up! It seriously could fuck up your future, come on guys! This is time travel 101! We have to get rid of them!"

Tiger leaned her elbows on the railing and shot a glance over at Wolf, who looked equally as frustrated and understanding as she did. "Okay fine, then how do we get rid of them."

Josh opened his mouth, then closed it. He looked at Liv for some help, but she looked like she might throw up at any moment. Then it hit him. "I...I think I know how..."

"The possum incinerator?" Liv asked in a deadpan voice as Josh led everyone (including the dead bodies) into the possum incinerator room. Kronish Labs studied possum semen instead of human semen as a more "humane" way of finding a cure, even though it wasn't very "humane".

"How many possums do you kill here?" Wolf asked, genuinely intrigued.

"Enough that we needed to get this possum incinerator." Josh said, opening the hatch. "People don't come down here very often though, I don't think."

"It's pretty small, we'll have to cut up the bodies...let's get to work." Tiger motioned for the bodies to be put on the table.

It was a bloodbath. Wolf and Tiger were disassembling the bodies in front of Liv and Josh's eyes. Liv stood in horror. Josh looked on the scene looking scared, but not as scared as Liv. He was becoming familiar with what Tiger and Wolf were capable of.
