Helpless - Handsome Jack × Reader × Rhys

Part 2

This was it.

I accepted my fate. I knew I was going to die here. I waited, hovering next to the bed, for whatever it was that was walking in. Tears were pouring out at this point. There was no controlling it.

The door finally busted open, the creaking was loud in this silence. This is it.

What walked in definitely surprised me. It was that one guard, the scarily nice one.

He stumbled in, looking completely out of breath and exhausted.

"Oh my god. Oh my god. That was so much. Yo Jack, buddy, I made it!"

I was shocked. Jack? Like Handsome Jack? That could not be Handsome Jack laying on the bed. It just couldn't be. Or maybe, he really just was that ugly under the mask. But this old man had grey hair, a lab coat and was very short. While I had always heard that Handsome Jack was tall, muscular, and wore his Hyperion vest everyday.

The guard reached towards the old man's head implant, which had some type of card applied in it.

He ripped it out and quickly turned to me.

"I'm so sorry about this. He can definitely be obnoxious sometimes."

I tilt my head in confusion, but realize that he was walking towards me with the card high in his hand.

"W-what are you doing? Please, please, what is that?"

"It'll all be fine, seriously, just be still"

I panicked, I started to run but he grabbed a hold of my arm. I was slung back and fell onto the ground. He climbed on top of me, legs on either side of my body, trapping me. I tried to wiggle out of his grip but he just grabbed my jaw, holding my head still. He was fiddling with the card as he was cleary going to add it to my head.

"Please! Please don't!"

He ignores my pleas, and shoved the card into my implant. I could feel my eye glow blue, then back to brown, then back to blue. It felt like I had a virus in my head and my body was trying to reject it. My body started to violently shake and I couldn't control it.

Then, everything went black.

When I woke up, I was still in the same spot, but Instead, i felt a pillow under my head. I groaned in pain from the massive headache I had. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. I could feel that my eye was still glowing blue. Which only ever happened when my implant was active. So whatever he added in my head, is alive in my implant. I quickly sat straight up, beginning to hyperventilate.

"Whoa whoa, it's okay. You're okay."
The Hyperion guard sat next to me, staring at me with hope and anxiety in his eyes. He grabbed my shoulder.

"Look, my name is Rhys. I'm not gonna hurt you. Just calm down"

My breathing slowed, although I was still scared.

"Where are we? What do you want? What did you do to the other guards?"

"Did you work at Hyperion when Handsome Jack was alive?"

I was quickly frustrated with him not answering any of my questions.

"No. I didn't. I swear I don't know anything. Will you please just let me go. I won't tell anyone what you did."

"Nope, can't do that. You got something very precious inside that head of yours."

He tapped his head in the same place that I had my implant.

I could see that he once had an implant like mine, and an EchoEye. It looked to have been taken out, but not neatly, like it was ripped out.
