Felix Kjellburg was a night guard. And he often told his friends that had the best job.
This night guard's main duties were focused around the care and containment of Upsized Asset 008. A 95 foot genetically modified beast with a fiery temper and a gaze that seemed to penetrate your heart and judge you for every foul action you'd committed.

He was brash, and loud, and felt that swearing was the best form of communication, especially when he got mad. And you didn't want to see him mad. Because his frown would deepen, casting a dark shadow around his almost sparking eyes; his boulder sized teeth would press together in a sort of immensely frustrated grin; the spines longer than your entire body clicking together as his emotion boiled and bubbled inside him.

Being a giant, he would easily be able to kill you, and in many ways too.

That was UA008, also known to Felix, as Jack.

"Top of the mornin', SepticEye." Felix peered in through the reinforced netting over the entirety of his pen, seeing the dark form slumped up against the part of the curved wall closest to the night guard. It was currently about 9pm, but it was the morning for Felix at least.
"Eff off." The giant growled, but he still looked up to the small bearded face staring down at him with a smile. His only friendly visitor, the only one in the whole park who would at least greet him.

"You know you love it Jack." He smirked, pushing himself back and heading toward the elevator and picking up his gear, consisting of a heavily labelled bag and gun looking thing inside a box, and a heavy bag of fruit for his reward. He had to get right to work. Felix swiped his card, punched in a few numbers and stepped into a spotless steel elevator with a heavy sigh, not looking forward to what he had to do.

"Blood day Jack!" He announced, and the giant growled something to himself.
It was the day he had to take some blood from the asset, for testing back at the lab; they couldn't have a highly profitable attraction like Jack getting sick. Of course, he wouldn't really enter the enclosure, just get up close with Jack's hand for a few minutes then it was over.

By the time Felix got down there, Jack had already put his hand in the heavy duty locks and had been immobilised by bots from the system the guard had switched on, temporarily introducing an agent into his system that calmed him down substantially; made him docile and flighty. It was then when Felix approached the hand, lying slumped against the metal but still obviously alive; blood vessels pumped under the thick skin, some fingers shifted slightly as random nerves fired and stimulated muscles, or as Jack tried to test his motion.

Sure he acted friendly with the giant, but really, he was pretty much fucking terrified of him. Blood day was the worst day, because he got slapped in the face with the realisation of how small he really was in comparison to the asset. The height the human was quite proud of was only the size of one of Jack's fingers, and not even the tallest one, and when he came close to the gargantuan appendage he imagined the worst things.

Felix approached with his syringe, and as the needle entered the large vein on the back of his hand, he heard a soft curse. He realised he had forgotten to switch on the bots, and Jack slammed him into the wall.

The hand twitched and pulled out of the cuffs - sending the guard flying - the metal screaming and groaning as a gaping hole was formed. Felix could see the inside of the enclosure, until a giant blue eye peered in, like a wet alien orb.
"Why hello breakfast." Jack rumbled.

At least Jack was completely out of it.

Felix worked fast, taking blood from one thick vein in the back of his hand with his modified syringe. The hand didn't even twitch, but he knew it was quite painful due to the thickness of the needle, and the fact the removal of the blood was rapid and mechanised. But no one in charge of Humanic Park cared for the feelings of their assets, just that they were scary enough or cute enough to keep attendance high. His charge had gone through all sorts of torture before he was even an adult: restraints, cruel punishments, genetic modification, implants put inside him while he was still conscious. And social torture too: constant jeering, insults, mockery, isolation. Being treated like an animal when he clearly had a smart mind and human qualities. No wonder he was so determined not to make friends with anyone.

Felix sighed deeply, retreating with his things as usual, but suddenly overcome with a paternal sort of feeling, patted his finger. The fact that his outstretched hand didn't even cover the size of Jack's sharp claw was at the back of his mind for once.
"Good job SepticEye, now, here are your damn pineapples."

That was one of the strangest things he'd ever done.

Shaking the feelings from his head, Felix heaved the bag of pineapples where Jack could reach, once he was fully conscious, of course.

He sealed the blood properly, and placed both it and the syringe in the chute where it would be taken to the lab for analysis, feeling quite pleased with himself and reaching for the switch. But then the fingers twitched and closed around the bag - movements sharp and focused - and the night guard swore, pressing his back to the wall. Obviously, he'd remembered the usual routine and was fully aware of where the treats would be, and he switched off everything as normal.

Even though he thought he was friends with Jack, upsized assets still scared him like all hell.

With a grunt he ran to the elevator, barely able to stay in his skin even as the music in the elevator tried to soothe him. As soon as Felix stepped out of the sliding doors, he could hear the crunching of pineapples between the assests teeth, and he knew the giant was happily digging into his all time favourite snack.
"Those things are gonna be the death of you." He climbed onto the slab that ringed the enclosure and settled down, opening his bag and pulling out his phone.

Jack looked up to the top of the enclosure to the human, feeling the sweet tang of fruit spread over his tongue and throughout his whole body, bringing a natural grin to his face. He stumbled around in his concrete walls, the anesthetic clearly still in his system, dulling down his motor skills. But his mind was perfectly fine.

He was genuinely amused. Not yet entirely happy, just amused.

"If t'e borrowers don't get ta me first! Ya know how feisty those squeakers are." Jack had never seen a borrower before, he just knew they were very small and that his night guard always seemed to get stuck with the ultra confident ones that loved to mouth off at him. Just thinking of Felix's egotistical attitude being damaged by someone smaller than his thumb brought him a sort of mean joy, and he knew it was the time of the night to mess with him.

"Like that one who pulled the pin on you..and you screamed. Like a girl, I presume." Jack spoke nonchalantly as he emptied the last two oversized fruits into his cupped palms, glancing upward with a smirk.
Felix stiffened and glared at the wall behind him, growling like the asset would on a daily basis. "Shut up! I did not scream, I yelled in shock. That bastard had a needle!"
The giant snorted, then laughed openly, a deep and resonating sound that bounced around the pen and echoed throughout the Park, drowning out the human's feeble cries.
