*he keeps his gun in hand but doesn't raise it*

There you are Coop. It's okay, no one else is here. What's going on bud, what happened to you?

*he carefully kneels down a bit but keeps his distance*

Your time here is over Cooper, you can rest now. Let the energy go, it's only hurting you.

Cooper? Cooper where are you?

*Owen hunts the woods for Cooper*

@agent-owen-byrn

*There’s a crackling, wet sound. Like bones snapping and sludge shifting against skin*

Two hollow eyes stare at Owen through the dark*

Y o u….I rec ogniz e th at smell..

Owen?

[agent-owen-byrn]

We have. You've made your own way in the C.W.R and you have your own legacy you've built from the ground up. When it comes to status we're equals in my eyes.

*he ruffles her hair with a chuckle*

Still doesn't change your nickname Sunflower. I know that sunny smile from your rookie days is in there somewhere.

I'm assigning Owen as your father figure now knowing what we do. Mans really guided you through all that training?

... He helped me a lot, yes. He's not my dad, though?

*Thinking about her real father for a second, then quickly shaking that thought.*

I suppose you might say I accidentally became his mentee back in the day but we've long passed that stage now.

Right Owen?

If I had a nickel for every time a Green Hills police officer thought he had raccoons in his stuff only to discover it was actually an alien hedgehog and then take said alien hedgehog in, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's really weird that it happened twice. Dad will be either amused or weirded out when you tell him about this lovely little parallel.

❤️💛🤍🍿🤍💛❤️

It will be. I'll have to talk to him at work tomorrow.

As long as your brother doesn't keep him from the office

[agent-owen-byrn]

Oh man....I think Wade and I just became dads.....is this how Stone felt when he took in Shadow?

[agent-owen-byrn]

THERE IS A PINK HEDGEHOG IN MY FUCKING ATTIC!

Can I eat her?

NO!

[agent-owen-byrn]

What the fuck is in my attic? Do I have racoons?

I should check it out.

[agent-owen-byrn]

Knuckles wait! I don't-

*the door slams*

I don't want power....

Leave the Echidna be Owen. He is a fool.

Fuck off Mayhem.

I can not. Cooper approaches. We must find him.

.....fine. Where is he?

The woods.

I'll get my gear.

Uncle, I need your assistance. Puppy is missing and-

What. Is. That?

@agent-owen-byrn

[agent-owen-byrn]

She, like me, worked for G.U.N. but Hailey did something.... special.

Hailey was my trainee, I was one of her teachers as part of a special unit of agents. We were called the Chaos Warrior Regiment. The C.W.R was given highly concentrated doses of chaos energy. Some didn't make it because of the rejection. Hailey survived but she had to stay in a specialized stasis pod when she wasn't working so it wouldn't kill her.

I betrayed her trust....I didn't protest when they gave her a double dose, I was sure she'd be fine. But then she watched me refuse the injection myself. I was scared I wouldn't make it. That's when I was sent here to watch over you and the others. And when I almost died in that accident....

G.U.N found me at the hospital. Gave me that stupid chaos injection during surgery. Somehow I was the perfect fit. Mayhem promised to help me keep Wade safe, but I had to accept him so the energy wouldn't kill me.

You are my perfect vessel. It is only logical to protect the one who gives you courage.

Shut it Mayhem, you're getting my blood everywhere.

Uncle, I need your assistance. Puppy is missing and-

What. Is. That?

@agent-owen-byrn

[agent-owen-byrn]

Knuckles wait! He literally can't leave we're connected!

*Mayhem attempts to strike and bite at Knuckles like a snake but is blocked by Owen's arm*

MAYHEM ENOUGH!

Knuckles....do you remember that girl Hailey? The one Maria kept trying to help?

Uncle, I need your assistance. Puppy is missing and-

What. Is. That?

@agent-owen-byrn

[agent-owen-byrn]

Knuckles! Bud it's not what you think, there's a lot of context with this.

Echidna! You dare enter this home? I'll destroy you!

Mayhem no! That is my nephew!

Uncle, I need your assistance. Puppy is missing and-

@agent-owen-byrn

[agent-owen-byrn]

Getting you to thr Wachowski's I can do. I don't know what's going on with thus creature either, hopefully whatever you guys were grabbing will take it out.

Don't worry about that, I can't set Mayhem loose......Cooper is still alive. If Mayhem and I use our abilities together he'll know and then all if you will be in danger.

We have been searching to destroy him.

Shut it you goob, you're freaking Paz out.

*a few steps away from the entrance of ETLAC, Rouge and Topaz are whispering to eachother*

How the hell are we getting into ETLAC?

Didn't you hear Pop? Stay calm. We're "G.U.N. agents", remember? We go in, waltz our way to the office, and snag that heart away from those idiots. It'll be nothing. We've fought worse.

...yeah, I guess you're right.

*she presses the button on the radio at the door to ask for entry*

@nasa-etlac

[agent-owen-byrn]

That is Mayhem who is supposed to be hiding like he promised.

*Owen grumbles as he pushes the creature's head down*

Sorry he gets excited to meet new people. I'll explain him later talk to me about this mission, how can I help?

[agent-owen-byrn]

Sure do, we do family dinners every other Sunday.

*He leads them out to the car and starts driving*

I'm glad Popcorn felt that you two were safe and that she knew she could ask you for help.

*the car is silent before Mayhem made an appearance, getting close to Topaz*

You have strong energy, you would have made a good vessel.

[agent-owen-byrn]

*he holds her just a bit longer before pulling back*

I'm glad you're safe.

*he gives Rouge a smile before passing her and Topaz some sunglasses*

Alright ladies, let's get out of here. Just follow me and no one is gonna bug you. I've got the car outside, just tell me where you need to go after this.

*he sighs once they're gone*

'paz you have so much fucking explaining to do when we get out of here. I don't know what Popcorn has you and Rouge doing but whatever it is let's finish up and get out of here.

*he turns and hugs her tightly for a moment*

Officer stand down.

*the click of dress shoes turns the corner and Owen walks up in his old special forces uniform*

Is there a reason you're bothering me agent? She's trying to do her job. Or do you think your personal options are at a higher level of importance than national security?

*he flicks open his ID quickly showing his name and rank. Brigadier General Owen Byrn of G.U.N's C.W.R*

I'll go grab the girls, just finished getting my cast off. Keep yourself hidden and safe Pop, your dad will kill me if you get hurt

OWEN! DO YOU HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH ROUGE AND TOPAZ? THEY'RE ON A VERY IMPORTANT MISSION BUT WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM!

❤️💛🤍🍿🤍💛❤️

I keep a tracker in Stone and 'paz's wallets. I'll go get her, what is she helping with
