Rick's P. O. V.
I hold Venus in my arms. I wear the same uniform, which the Rick that tried taking Venus, to blend in. I rush to another Rick's side, tapping his shoulder. Since the Rick, that I killed, was such a softy, I'm supposed to act exactly the same. Yay. The Rick faces me, seeing Venus. He gasps with his jaw hanging.
"Y-you actu(burp)ally got her?" he asks me. I glance down at Venus, she looks scared. I chuckle, nodding my head.
"Don't doubt me next time, OK?" I try my best not to belch, knowing that Rick never did. Venus grips on my shirt, softly crying.
"Whewe's mommy...?" she whispers to me. I sigh, meeting the Ricks gaze.
"Should we take Venus to (y/n)?" I ask rick who scoffs in return.
"She's bu(burp)sy." I tilt my head.
"With what?" rick rolls his eyes, grunting loudly.
"Didn't you get the mes(burp)sage?" he asks with attitude "She's in tha-that tor(burp)ture thing... Y-you know? You're the one who des(burp)igned it or-or whatever." I slowly nod.
"S-so, where is it? Sorry, I-I forgot..." rick grunts, rolling his eyes.
"B-base(burp)ment, room 25, door 2."
"Thanks... Hey, do me a favor." rick hums in response "Die." still holding Venus, I kick the Rick's legs, sending him to the ground. I pick up his gun before he could even think of taking it.
"Yo(burp)u're C-137! What did you do?! I loved him!"
"Wait, so you fell in love with yourself?" I tilt my head slightly, pointing the gun to Rick's head "That's disgusting."
"It's not my f-fa(burp)ult that you hate yourself, C-137."
"You're right. I hate myself. Which technically means: I hate you." I shoot him and run to the stairs, still making sure Venus would be fine. While jumping down the stairs, I hold onto Venus tightly as she clings onto my jacket. I stop to catch my breath, hunching slightly. I place Venus on the ground and stretch my back. I give all my attention to Venus, not caring about the other ricks "Hey... Y-you ok?"
"Yeah." Venus says in a sad tone. I sigh and kneel down.
"We'll get her..."
"Wick said some~fing about tor~sher..." her eyes begin to water.
"She'll be fine... I promise..." to be honest, I'd never be like this to anyone, but there's something weird about (y/n)... A good weird... "C'mon. Let's go look for your mom." she warmly smiles at me, lifting her arms, wanting me to carry her again. I sigh, picking her up, making us comfortable. I carry on strolling down the stairs. Venus has her arms around my neck with her legs around my stomach, her head lays on my shoulder. I tightly hold onto Venus, not wanting her to get hurt or anything.
"Do you fink mommy wiw be fime?" Venus softly asks me.
"Yeah. I mean, if she needs medical attention, then I'll help her, you understand?"
"Fank you, Wick..." I open the first door I find and rush into the room. I sneak around, looking for room 25.
"Where is it?" I whisper to myself. Venus points to something behind me. I turn around and see the room "Smart one, aren't ya?" she giggles as I run to the door, swing it open and slam it once I'm in the room. I hear a voice. Singing a song. I can't make it out, so I don't make it a big thing, you know? I walk around some more. She must be here.
