Your P.O.V.

I sighed deeply. The team was victorious...again.

Which meant a party...again.

Which meant they would all get drunk...again.

Which meant they would all harass me until they passed out...AGAIN.

I was getting tired of all these 'again's, so I decided to take a walk outside. We were at Gorge base, so I could actually take one, unlike 2fort and Coldfront. I still couldn't understand how it was always snowy there...

I grabbed a (team colour) hoodie, in case it was cold, and started walking to the back door.

"Hey, where ye goin', lassie? Aren' ye gonna *hic* party wif us?" I sigh and send a smile Demo's way.

"I don't feel like it. I need to go clear my head." He nods and goes back to his whiskey. I open the back door and step outside, taking a deep breath.

It smelled like fresh pine, with a hint of gunpowder and running water. I smile and close the door behind me, pulling on my hoodie, leaving it open. It wasn't that cold.

*timeskip-kun!*

Your P.O.V.

Scratch that.

It's now extremely cold.

I went into the forest to maybe watch some birds, and I apparently wandered too far. There was a natural path that I followed, but I strayed off it, and now I can't find it. It's nighttime now, and extremely cold, with no light to guide me back to base.

I hear a chuckle. I whip around to look for the source, but there's nobody there.

"Must have been my imagination..." I mutter to myself. I sigh and turn around. That should be where I came from, so I should be able to find the base if I go that way. Right?

CBM's P.O.V.

Oh, she's so innocent! She got lost two hours ago. I subtly guided her to the path earlier, so she could get back, but she kept on going in. She's quite funny, actually! I still cringe at accidentally letting myself be known, however. Stupid of me...

"Oh, hey birds. Ironic you show up now." I direct my attention back to the girl, who was currently smiling softly at Vladimir. I growl quietly. Vladimir hears me and flutters over to me.

On instinct, I put my arm out to let him perch. Then I see the girl, staring at my arm, thoroughly spooked. I sigh and step out.

"Who are you?" She says shakily. I smile. She's cute with her face paled in fear.

"It does not matter. Vhat maters is zhat jou are lost, frau. Vould jou like some help getting back to jour base?" Her hands start shaking. I can't stop my smile from growing.

"H-How do you know?" I chuckle and beckon her to follow me. I start walking, and I can hear her behind me.

"Ich am a former member of zhe Red team. If jou haven't noticed, certain members of both teams are slowly replaced. Vould jou like to know why?" She slows down. I slow down with her.

"Yeah..." She says quietly. I stop completely to walk side-by-side with her. She looks up at me curiously. I smile widely, which sets her off a bit.

"Zhey all have gone insane, frau. I only know of three on my team because zhey visit me often for healing. One now has a murderous complex towards the Blu team because zhey tortured him, zhe other has gone cannibalistic, and zhe last one is schizophrenic, a special case where he kills people efficiently and accurately but he only zhinks zhat he has inconvenienced zhem, and apologizing before killing someone else." She starts visibly quaking.

"And...and you?" I stop smiling for a second, but quickly force it back onto my face.

"Ich don't think jou would vant to know zhat..." She nods slowly. I look away from her and continue walking. Vladimir caws softly at me. I nuzzle his head with one of my fingers and smile softly.

"What's his name?" I sigh softly.

"Vladimir. He vas zhe only bird zhat came around vhen Ich buried Archimedes. My Archimedes, at least." She nods and decides not to prod more. I stop near the edge of the forest.

"Walk zhe same direction we were walking for a few more minutes, and zhen jou'll be back at jour base."

"Why can't you come?" I grit my teeth. She backs off a bit.

"After vhat zhey did to me...both of zhem...Ich vould not be able to contain myself."

"And what would you do?" I chuckle darkly and pet Vladimir, who caws appreciatively.

"Ich würde sie in Stücke reißen und die Wände mit ihrem Blut bemalen, bis sie zu ängstlich waren, um aus dem Spawnraum zu kommen, und dann würde ich das gleiche im Spawnraum tun, bis ich sie für das Leben vernarbte und sie immer ängstlich sein würden. Ich wartete jede Nacht, falls ich zurückkam. Ich würde es auch genießen." I start laughing quietly, and I feel my eye twitching as the memories come back.

"I can guess you intend to murder them?" I turn towards her and smile.

"Yes, Ich do. Now go, and don't tell zhem I'm here." She is clearly shocked at my distinct change in tone. She turns and jogs away. I feel a pang of regret. She probably wouldn't come back. I liked her...

Your P.O.V.

I jogged back to the base, multiple thoughts running through my head. I knew he had murderous intent, but what did he say? What did they do? I had some major questions to ask...

"PRIVATE FEATHERS! WHERE WERE YOU?!" I sigh as I shut the door behind me.

"I took a walk because I was tired of your drunk bullshit, Major. Now, I'm tired, and I'm going to bed." I go upstairs and into my room, closing and locking the door behind me.

"Time to get some sleep." I strip and hop into bed, pulling the covers over me and nuzzling into the bed, falling asleep immediately.

*timeskip*

Your P.O.V.

This morning, instead of waking up to Soldier shouting, I wake up to a gentle tapping on the window. I get up slowly and stretch. The tapping continues, so I look at the window.

"Oh, Vladimir." I open the window. He flutters in and holds his beak up to me, which is bearing a note. I take the note. He caws happily and flutters over to the windowsill. I open up the note.

'Frau, this might be a mistake, but I want to get to know you better. First, what is your name? I prefer to be known as Christian Brutal Medic. Please, don't ask why yet.'

I smile. He's scary, but he gives off the impression that he'd be nice if he weren't so...insane. Well, insanity isn't a problem, and he's still nice, but...maybe I could help him? I take out a piece of paper and a pen.

'My name is (Y/N). Do you think we could maybe meet again? If the team wins again, I'll need to take a walk to get away...'

I fold up the note and give it to Vladimir. He ruffles his wings and takes off again. I sigh and get dressed. Don't want Soldier to catch me naked again...

*timeskip*

Your P.O.V.

As predicted, we were victorious. I got my hoodie and went outside again without anybody noticing. I walk over to the forest. If he got my reply, he should be expecting me.

I walk a few meters into the forest, then I see him caring for an injured fawn. I gasp. He looks up and shushes me quietly. He finishes up wrapping a wound and helps it up. The fawn then proceeds to limp towards its mother while CBM walks over to me.

"Everyzhing deserves to live." He says, which surprises me. Just yesterday, he said something incredibly violent and murderous about the teams...

"Are you okay?" I ask. He considers this a moment, before nodding. I noticed that he looked cleaner, more well-cut. Suddenly he turns away and mutters something in German as he runs a hand through his hair.

"Ich am sorry, liebe, Ich don't know vhat came over me." I nod cautiously. Did he have some sort of split personality? I file it away in my brain for later.

"So, jou vanted to meet up vith me? Vhat for?" I smile.

"I justed wanted to get to know you better." He smiles in his creepy way. I smile back shyly.

"Ich don't zhink jou vant zhat connection vith me, liebe. Zhey might go after jou next..." I shrug nonchalantly. His smile falters.

"Don't care. I don't want you to be lonely." He stops smiling, his eyes revealing shock and hope while his face remains neutral.

"Tch, fine. Aber, liebling, du musst zuerst mit mir kommen, bitte." He turns and starts walking, beckoning me again. I follow him, not really knowing what he said.

After a few meters of walking, Vladimir joins us. I smile at the bird. He caws back.

"Liebling, Ich must ask jou, are jou afraid of becoming insane? Having mental issues of any kind?" I considered this for a moment. What kind of question is that?

"Well...I guess not." He chuckles quietly.

"Good, good..." I send a confused look to Vladimir. He looks away and ruffles his feathers like he's nervous. Maybe the crow is smarter than he lets on...But then, that means he knows what's about to happen.

*Timeskip*

CBM's P.O.V.

'Why are you doing this?'

'Because I want her. Because we want her, don't deny it.'

'That doesn't mean you have to do this.'

'Shut up, you idiot. I'm doing something for both of us for once. Can't you just be happy with that?'

'No! You can't hurt her like that! I...I won't allow it.'

'Oh? What are you gonna do, kill me?'

'No...But give her a choice, at least.'

'Tch...fine.'

I return from the depths of conversation to see that we've arrived at my house. I open the door and beckon her inside. She follows me.

"Tell me, liebe, do jou frighten easily?"

"No, not usually. Battle does that to you. Why?"

"Because I'm scared that I might scare or hurt jou." I quickly go over to the door and close it.

"What're you doing?" I sigh and go over to a drawer.

"Ich habe keine Ahnung." I pull out the cure that he was working on, and pour it into a flask. Then I take some Midazolam and mix it with some Rohypnol, pouring it into another flask.

"Liebe, Ich am sorry, but Ich habe a difficult question to ask of jou." I turn around with the two vials in my hands. She nods.

"What is it?"

"In one hand, Ich habe the cure to my many mental illnesses. In zhe ozher, Ich habe a knockout drug for jou to take. Now, zhe question is...would jou rather have me sane, or be insane?" Her face pales.

'Stupid, stupid, STUPID! She won't love either of us now! Look what you've done!'

'It doesn't matter. What if she didn't like us that way in the first place? I did us a favour.'

Your P.O.V.

I consider my options. He's insane, but has a cure. I could go insane, and forfeit payment for my job. If I tried to run, the door is probably locked, and I wouldn't make it far if I jumped out of a closed window, which would injure me. He has every advantage. If I asked him to let me go, he would probably force the drug on me. However, I do have a beacon on me that would alert my team to where I was. Maybe, if I make a break for it and activate the beacon, I could actually escape...

I take a deep breath, and go for the first thing I think of...

(Okay, there are three options. First, you make him sane again. Second, you go insane with him. Third, you make a break for it. They'll be listed in order, and denoted. Read the passage for which one you go for. Have fun :3)

Option One; He Goes Sane

"Please take the cure." He looks at me surprised.

"Jou...don't vant to run?" I shake my head.

"Or want me to leave jou alone?" I shake my head again.

"I like you, and want to give you a decent chance. But I don't want to sacrifice my sanity either." He nods.

"Are jou sure?" I nod.

He visibly gulps. He sets one flask down, and uncaps the other. He makes sure it's the right one, and then downs it all in one go. He coughs harshly, and I step forward to help him. He leans back against the counter and brushes me off, turning away and still coughing harshly.

Vladimir flutters over to me and lands on my shoulder. I pet him absentmindedly, looking at the insane doctor with concern.

After a while, he finally stops coughing. He sets his glasses back on his nose and pushes them up. I place a hand on his shoulder to make sure he's okay. He turns to me and smiles softly.

"Ich zhink it vorked. Ich vould still be terrified of zhe teams, but Ich could face zhem vithout murdering zhem, Ich zhink." I smile back at him and help him to a fully upright position.

"Are you ready?" He nods. I walk over to the door and open it. It was unlocked the entire time. I go outside, and hear him following me.

A few minutes later, we were back at the base. Soldier looks angry for a moment, but then his jaw drops in shock.

"...Ehrenberg? Is that right?" Everyone turns to look at us, extremely sobered. CBM shies up behind me out of fear.

"J-Ja..." Our current Medic looks lost.

"Ehrenberg? I recognize zhat name...Wait." He walks up to me. CBM moves so he's more visible.

"Klaus Ehrenberg?"

"...Henrik Ludwig?" Medic shoves me out of the way and hugs CB...erm, Claus, tightly.

"Mein Gott! Wo zum Teufel warst du, alter Freund?" Claus cautiously hugs back.

"Versteckt ... In den Wäldern ... Von ihnen." Our Medic pulls back from Klaus and looks at him confusedly.

"'Zhem'? Who are jou talking about?" Klaus starts shaking as he notices that the team has congregated around them. I jump to his defence.

"Oi, stop crowding him! You're the ones he's scared of!" Everyone immediately backs off. Medic looks extremely angry.

"What...did jou do to him? I'm not angry, Ich just want to know." Heavy is the one to speak up.

"He failed once in battle. The Administrator repurposed him. When the Sniper incident happened, he escaped. That is all I know, for I came here after incident." Medic's breathing quickens in his anger.

"Who was here? Who mistreated him?" Soldier, Spy, and Scout step forward. Medic turns around and glares at each one.

"Jou drei, to zhe Med Bay. Schnell." He then walks off. They all look at least a bit scared as they follow Medic to their dooms. Klaus walks back over to me, hugging my arm to him for comfort.

Well, he'll get used to them. And they'll get used to him. Who knows, maybe Klaus might rejoin the team as base Medic...but none of that matters, as long as I love him and he loves me. I'll help him through integration into society, and who knows? We could have some kids...

Option Two; You Go Insane

"How would I go insane?" He smiles and sets one vial down, handing me the other.

"Drink zhis." I uncap it and take a swig. He brings it back to my lips and makes me down all of it.

After a few minutes of him just staring at me in awkward silence, I start to feel strangely relaxed and calm.

"What was in that vial?" He smiles.

"It's starting to take effect?" I nod.

"Sleeping and calming drugs, to make zhis easier." I look at him confused.

"Make wha-" He interrupts me by crashing his lips onto mine. I immediately kiss back, not really caring due to my inebriated state. He pulls away and smiles at me. I smile back at him.

"Thirteen minutes, frau. Let's use zhem~" He picks me up and sets me on one of the counters, kissing me roughly.

Some time later, I felt woozier than I already was.

"Gute Nacht, liebeling..." I pass out.

*a few months later...*

Klaus and I are perched on a hill overlooking the Blu and Red bases. I finally built up his confidence to take revenge. His good voice isn't around to stop us either, only the fun ones to help us!

"Are you ready, babes?" He looks over at me and nods. I smile and jump off the ridge, hearing him yell after me. I giggle as I land in the bushes and wait for him to come after me. This attack's gonna be fun...

A few minutes later, and everything is covered in blood, including us. I grab his hand and start dancing. He smiles and starts dancing with me. We both laugh in ecstasy. They're dead. Albeit not permanently, but we killed them all at least once! We love each other, and nothing can stop us.

Option Three; You Run

"Uhm...do I have to take one of those? I mean...what if I want you the way you are, the way I am?" His eyes light up.

"Ja. Ich- of course! Ich thought jou...vouldn't vant to be vith mich after vhat Ich asked..." I shook my head.

"Of course not, Christian. People ask strange things all the time. It doesn't really matter to me." He nods and hugs me. I hug back.

"But..zhe teams vouldn't approve of zhis, vould zhey..." I smile.

"We can run. You, me, Vladimir...we could make it." He pulls back, confused.

"Vhy run?" I pull out the beacon and break it.

"My team will most likely search the woods first if I go missing. We can't stay here." He nods.

"Jou'll need to pack, and I'll need to inform zhe ozhers of what happened to mich..." I nod. He lets go of me and nudges me to the door.

"Go quickly. Ve'll leave tonight. Grab any extra veapons, and bring some food too." I nod and open the door, running out. This is gonna be exciting!

*one year later...*

I drop my pack in the front hall and go back outside to get the groceries. Klaus comes outside to help me.

"Velcome back, Mrs Ehrenberg." I giggle and bring half the bags inside as he gets the other half.

"TIt's been five months, babe!" I deposit the bags in the kitchen, and then he pulls me into a light kiss. I kiss back for a second, then turn back to the groceries to put the cold stuff away.

After it's all put away, Klaus hugs me from behind.

"Oh, Ich liebe dich, liebling."

"I love you too, Klaus." He gently rubs my stomach.

"Vhat were zhe names we thought of again?" I cover his hands with mine.

"If it's a boy, Audwin. If it's a girl, Chikako." He chuckles.

"Chikako Ehrenberg?" I bat him playfully. He laughs.

"Both names mean wise, baka! Unless you want our girl name to be Jessica or something totally white like that." He gasps.

"Jou vouldn't name our darling little girl zhat!...Vould jou?" I turn around and press a brief kiss to his lips.

"Maaaaaybe~" He chuckles and shakes his head.

"No matter zhe name, ve vill be a happy family. I'm sure of it." He presses his forehead to mine. I smile. He smiles back.

"Ich liebe dich."

"Ich liebe dich auch."

(Translation; 1: I would rip them to pieces and paint the walls with their blood until they were too scared to come out of the spawn room, and then I would do the same in the spawn room until I scarred them for life and they would always be fearful, waiting every night in case I came back. I would relish it too. 2: But, darling, you must follow me first, please. 3: I have no idea. hehehe X3 I hope you liked this. I'm sorry it took so long! See you later.)
