The Legion: Frank x Reader [Gender Neutral]

Chapter 10: Weird Encounters

You woke up in Frank's bed, completely unaware you fell asleep, Frank was a respectful distance from you, his chest rose and fell. You've slept with him before and he's still nervous to cuddle you... How cute.

"Hey." You whispered, shaking him a little bit.

"I'm awake." He turned over to face you. "I think your friend is outside."

Indeed when you looked outside, Dwight was walking around in the cold snow, shouting your name.

"Alright, I have to go." You got off the bed.

"Come back?"

"Always." You said.

He kissed you really quick, then turned over, presumably to fall asleep again. You laughed and went downstairs to go confront Dwight.

"Y/N? There you are. We thought something bad happened."

"I'm fine." you insisted.

"I just wanted to check."

"You shouldn't be walking through the woods alone, let's head back to camp."

"Why shouldn't we walk in the woods alone?" Dwight asked.

"I don't know. The killers told me to just be careful if I do, sometimes they walk me back halfway." You explained.

"I wonder what could freak them out that much."

"Most of them seem really scared of being along in the woods, they hide whenever they hear something or hold their weapons tighter."

Dwight seemed to be getting nervous himself, rubbing his arms. You patted his back to calm him down.

"I think I'm due for another trial soon." He took his glasses off, you knew what this meant.

"Dwight... It'll be ok, I'll ask Entity if I can join this one."

"You talk to it?"

"Well... Sorta? It talks to me and I just talk back." You tried to explain.

"I'm just saying is it really worth it anymore?"

He fell to the ground crying, you really didn't blame him for this. This place was awful. You crouched down and patted his shoulder.

"We shouldn't be here, we don't know what's in these woods." You told him.

"Give me one more second." He whispered.

??? POV:

I was busy looking over my supplies, making sure I had everything I needed, being in The Entity's sight for to long wasn't a good idea, even for me.

I hear footsteps around me, it was coming from the main trail, another place I refused to take in case of the Entity. I shoved the dead rat inside my bag and peeked up from behind a thick bush, watching two people.

One was struggling to hold back tears, clearly upset about something. The other was trying to comfort him, they caught my eye. Unlike the guy, they were searching around the area, making sure something or someone wasn't around, only one other group of people did that: The Killers.

How fascinating, not only do they know the killers (most likely) they knew them well enough to warn them about me. They were clearly a survivor, no killer looked human, and if they did they hid it.

I would need to find a time to talk to them alone, I'm sure they wouldn't mind having a conversation, they were busy right now unfortunately, but I had the time in this realm.

I turned and went another direction back to my lab. I tossed my bag down and pulled out the rat, it was dead, I needed it dead.

I grabbed one of my syringes, filling it up with my most recent formula I had made, if this works.... Then I could be almost done with the testing faze.

I shoved the needle inside its eye, injecting the liquid. It twitched once, twice, then sprung to life. It worked! I let the rat go, and it scurried off into the woods.

I grabbed my journal and quickly jolted this down, now I needed to stop the side effects on humans... But now I needed a new test subject, one that was human and hadn't been altered by the Entity in anyway possible...

Normal POV:

"Let's keep going." Dwight insisted.

"Alright." You said, helping him off the ground, he seemed to be doing better now.

On the way back to camp you almost tripped over a glowing orange rat. It scurried past you, snarling and dropping a glowing liquid out of its body, its eye was swollen and orange bumps covered the area around it.

You ignored it, thinking it was just The Entity's blight thing happening again, you should ask it about that soon.

You and Dwight walked into camp, he sat down in his usual spot, you reached under the log and made sure Tim was still tucked tightly under it.

"Where were you?" Adam asked you kindly.

"Ormond, I fell asleep." You quickly explained. "Also I think The Entity is going through another Blight faze, we passed by a glowing orange rat on the way over here."

"I hate when it does that." Meg complained.

"I'm more concerned about the killers, they seem to be freaking out about it." You said.

"Why?"

"I don't know, I never asked them about it."

"Can I come with you next time?" Quentin asked.

"Sure, Lorie?"

"Yeah, I'll come."

"Nice, more of you running off." David snapped.

"Is that jealousy I hear?" Lorie started to mock David, you had to cover your mouth to stop yourself from laughing.

"I'm just saying, we shouldn't be leaving camp for safety."

"You act like something bad will happen if we leave, The Entity doesn't care, as long as we don't cause to much trouble." You turned around and stared at David.

"So it is true, you can speak to The Entity." Ash spoke up.

"Yeah... And?"

"Tell that thing to let us go!"

"I already have, it said no."

"So what does it want with us?" Jeff asked, he set down his cards, Ace looked over as well, pausing their game.

"Hope, it feeds off of our feelings, that's why it needs us, allows us to escape, and keeps doing it over and over again."

"What will it do to us when it's done?"

"I-I don't know." You couldn't answer Jane's question. "But at least we know we aren't being punished for something, this isn't Heaven or Hell, it's something in between."

"Like a Limbo place?" Yui said.

"Yeah." You said.

"Wait... Limbo correct?" Quentin sat up, he had almost fallen asleep.

"Yeah, stuck in-between life and death, trapped between two different areas."

"I may... 'Know' a person I know who can travel in-between different realms." Quentin put air quotes around know. "We all technically do, but he owes me."

Everyone sat still for a while, thinking about his words."

"No." Lorie snapped.

"Oh... Him." You mumbled.

"Who?" Zarina asked, clearly confused.

"Freddy."
