~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“That one, over there” the streptococcus whispered to the other, pointing at you. You carried some oxygen that you had to deliver, taking a mostly unused route as a shortcut. You really wanted to finish early so you could have some glucose. You pushed the cart, ducking under some of the scaffolding as the place was being reconstructed. 

“Yeah, let’s go fer her and dust up the place so no one will see” they snickered mischievously at their plan

You got to your destination, ringing the doorbell. A cell appeared before you, stamp in hand as you gave it a pen for its signature, “here you go! Your oxygen for the day, please sign here”. The cell signed it, thanking you as he took the box inside. 

You walked back down the path as the site became dusty. You coughed and swatted some of it from your face. Two tall figures loomed over you as you called out, “hi? Are you one of the white blood cells patrolling?" You tried to get a look at who it was but you only caught the sight of a bright color. Before you could realize it wasn’t any cell you knew, it went to swipe at you. You shrieked but never felt any painful cuts.

“BACTERIA DETECTED!” You heard a voice yell. A white blood cell popped up out of nowhere

“DIE GERMS” he swung at them. One died instantly but the other was more of a struggle. He finally did get a good and fatal stab but it resulted in the germ getting pushed, hard. It stumbled as its dead body pushed down a supporting pillar of scaffolding. 

“GET BACK” he yelled and pushed you to a wall, shielding you from any fallen rubble. You finally opened your eyes to see your situation. You were trapped under this tall white blood cell who saved your life. His arms were on either side of your head as he panted. His eyes met yours and for once he was glad he was covered in blood, so you couldn’t see the prominent blush on his face. His thigh was between your legs as he assessed the situation. 

“We’re stuck” he said as calmly as he could

Your face turned a deeper scarlet and your eyes went wide, “W-What!?”

“I can’t move without risking more things to fall on us, but don’t worry, someone should be here... eventually” 

You looked deep into each others eyes as you smiled gently. His heart melted and he realized he didn’t actually mind being trapped here with you. “Well, guess we’re gonna be here for a while” you chuckled.

Some bodies with cancer do not win the battle. U-1146 is about to see this for himself, in a wild twist of events that forces him to reconsider his entire identity, that something about him was just slightly off.

[read the full fic here! first few paragraphs under the cut]

1146 sits with his back slumped against the cold, blue-hued glass of the containment tube he was held captive in. His dark eyes are a new kind of wide, and he clutches his wounded side with his hand. Deep red cytoplasm leaked through his fingers.

He could not feel his pain. No, not the pain of his body at least- but his emotional pain was very much real.

Laying on a bed of cancer were his friends and fellow immune cells, NK cell and Killer....no, Memory T cell. They were not moving. Not even a twitch of the fingers, or the rise and fall of their breathing. Their cytoplasm made a pool beneath them, and 1146 knew they were dead. Corpses.

He couldn't let himself cry, he thought, but his eyes still defiantly leaked tears as he pounded his hands against the glass. The cancer cell just laughed at his struggling.

"Why!?" 1146 screamed, anger bubbling up like boiling water. "Why do you have to do this!?"

"It's what I deserve! Consider it payback for the last time you put an end to me without a second thought! It's necessary to see my dream to fruition, after all!"

"But-"

"No buts, my friend! Look at how far my tumor is growing! And look at you. Defenseless. Don't you think your neutrophil pals will end up the same way? If I could take those guys down," he motions to the bodies with his hand, "then surely I can do it all again. Really, it was quite easy."
