the unholy amount of rage i've swallowed to remain kind, would have buried you.

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

he grunts in pain, blood spilling from his shoulder but he was quick to turn around in the direction and send a shot back in the same direction as Tommy.

taking the second after to find himself some cover.

❝ oh well, I guess you all choose to die today! ❞

[ᅠᅠ 𝓙𝙾𝙴𝙻 𝓜𝙸𝙻𝙻𝙴𝚁 ᅠᅠ ＊ @godstx]

Good luck - it's half fake and luckily - he hit the part that was — Atlas barked , barking louder than he's ever alerted before , but as soon as the man shot out at Joel , a thundering crack came through the air where Tommy has shot the other through the shoulder. Shattering →

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

❝ hm.. I reckon I put a bullet in you and then your dog and she won’t be long about coming to save your ass.❞

he nods, agreeing with himself and squeezes the trigger of his rifle and send a shot that tears right through Joel’s right thigh.

[ᅠᅠ 𝓙𝙾𝙴𝙻 𝓜𝙸𝙻𝙻𝙴𝚁 ᅠᅠ ＊ @godstx]

His dog barked , itching to protect his master , but Joel can't risk anyone being mowed down by a rifle —

“Okay , it's bright — ” shit , Mulder would be best at doing this than him.

“I know where she is. I'm gonna need the rifle down if I'm going to take you there. ”

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

shaking his head, rifle in arm now.

❝ last time I fucking trusted one of you my child disappeared in the middle of the night. ❞

anger was building in his voice, things were escalating quickly.

❝ now you fucking get them out here or I start shooting.❞

[ᅠᅠ 𝓙𝙾𝙴𝙻 𝓜𝙸𝙻𝙻𝙴𝚁 ᅠᅠ ＊ @godstx]

“ ... Can be arranged , like I said , ” Eyes go past the man's head as he can see movement on the wall - he knows that run. Tommy.

Probably the only man you don't want to mess with other than Joel Miller himself but one of them is retired from fighting , one of them isn't. →

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

sister so he was clearly going to go into detail.

❝ June and my boy. Nobody’s gotta die here today but they will if I don’t get what I want. ❞

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

an exaggerated sigh spills from her lips and he shakes his head

❝ no, I don’t think I will. I think you won’t do anything if you don’t want my soldiers all over this place in the next few hours—.. ‘brother’ ❞

he figured he didn’t know about his history with his ++

[ᅠᅠ 𝓙𝙾𝙴𝙻 𝓜𝙸𝙻𝙻𝙴𝚁 ᅠᅠ ＊ @godstx]

He's watching Harry move to deal with Mulder , helping the man up - but there is so much blood —— fuck.

“Your wife and kid huh ? ” keep him talking , keep him distracted , just until Harry gets Mulder away from this.

“That can be arranged , but I'm gonna need to ask you →

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

and my kid. then maybe.. I’ll let a couple of you live another day.❞

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

he scoffs with a shrug and using his foot to push the injured Mulder away.. he hadn’t much use for him yet.

❝ wasn’t supposed to go like this, not exactly the family reunion I envisioned.. but you know what, I can forgive as you have something that belongs to me. My wife

[ᅠᅠ 𝓙𝙾𝙴𝙻 𝓜𝙸𝙻𝙻𝙴𝚁 ᅠᅠ ＊ @godstx]

The dog at his side growls , Joel , since Red , doesn't leave the house unarmed , but he's not brandishing his weapon , “If your beef is with me , let him get help - ”

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

he leaned down and wiped his bloodied blade against Mulder’s clothes while his eyes met Joel’s.

a calculated grin on his features.

❝ well hey Joel, Miller right? we weren’t supposed to meet like this but your old buddy here well.. he looked at me wrong. ❞

[ᅠᅠ 𝓙𝙾𝙴𝙻 𝓜𝙸𝙻𝙻𝙴𝚁 ᅠᅠ ＊ @godstx]

@FEDRACOMMANDER

“Hey ! ” He stepping over to the stranger , seeing him push Mulder to the ground - getting closer - ah fuck.

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

he is immediately shaking his head.

❝ no. you stay right there. ❞

his words were spat in the others direction before his boot met Mulders head with excessive force of a kick that would knock a horse out.

[🛸ᅠᅠ ／／ᅠᅠ 𝙼𝚄𝙻𝙳𝙴𝚁 , 𝙵𝚘𝚡. ᅠᅠ ‧₊˚ @xfiiles]

It happened so fast , he wasn't - quick enough to —— the familiar burning pain of being stabbed , already coating his shirt.

Soldier , FEDRA.

Keep getting details , shit - FEDRA ? What are they doing ... ?

Do they know Scully is here ?

Palm applies pressure as he's →

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

concealed 🔪 into his abdomen and pushes him to the ground.

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

the way he looked at him gave Brad everything he needed to know, this man was onto him.. sucking in a disappointed breath.

❝ almost… but you had to go and look at me like that…❞

closing the gap between the both he slams his ++

[🛸ᅠᅠ ／／ᅠᅠ 𝙼𝚄𝙻𝙳𝙴𝚁 , 𝙵𝚘𝚡. ᅠᅠ ‧₊˚ @xfiiles]

“Then I won't hold you back further. ” Mulder offered a polite smile , looking him up and down , profiling him —— soldier for sure.

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

he watches the other closely, calculating his every move.

❝ oh just passing through, trading. I was actually on my way out when you caught my attention with your theories ❞

[🛸ᅠᅠ ／／ᅠᅠ 𝙼𝚄𝙻𝙳𝙴𝚁 , 𝙵𝚘𝚡. ᅠᅠ ‧₊˚ @xfiiles]

“Never said I didn't , ”

Mulder frowned a little bit , one thing to ramble , another to show �� and no , he's not showing a stranger his evidence.

“Who are you ? ”

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

❝ well.. I figured since you have all these theories you’d have the evidence to back them up..❞

[🛸ᅠᅠ ／／ᅠᅠ 𝙼𝚄𝙻𝙳𝙴𝚁 , 𝙵𝚘𝚡. ᅠᅠ ‧₊˚ @xfiiles]

“I didn't say it was happening here , ” Mulder shrugged , “Why ? ”

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

barely looks at him. .

❝ mhm.. human experiments, rebrand, underground, vaccine guys..❞

exhales through his nose with a friendly smile.

❝ anything else happening around this neck of the wood?❞

[🛸ᅠᅠ ／／ᅠᅠ 𝙼𝚄𝙻𝙳𝙴𝚁 , 𝙵𝚘𝚡. ᅠᅠ ‧₊˚ @xfiiles]

A deep breath.

“Because I know about the connection between the origins of the cordyceps fungus and Bridges who were experimenting with it prior to the actual outbreak. Human experiments. Drawbridge is a recent company that is trying to take over the last few remaining →

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

tell me, what makes you think that?

[🛸ᅠᅠ ／／ᅠᅠ 𝙼𝚄𝙻𝙳𝙴𝚁 , 𝙵𝚘𝚡. ᅠᅠ ‧₊˚ @xfiiles]

Very for real.

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

is this guy for real. . . ?

[🛸ᅠᅠ ／／ᅠᅠ 𝙼𝚄𝙻𝙳𝙴𝚁 , 𝙵𝚘𝚡. ᅠᅠ ‧₊˚ @xfiiles]

They've got bases everywhere , the connection between Bridges and FEDRA is a very fine line and there is a third party , but I can't find their name , but I will —— Drawbridge is part of Bridges , but not entirely. They have manifestos for people living underground and -

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

he closed the distance in two sharp steps, hand slamming down onto the bandaged wound on Red’s shoulder and pressing hard, harsh fingers bursting through the stitches.

❝ Refuse, and you’ll wish the infected got you before I finish with you.❞

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

alone and noticed Brad slipped through a weak section of Jackson’s outer fence under cover of night, moving quiet and low past the sparse patrols.

The settlement’s streets were mostly dark as he stuck to the shadows and made his way to the infirmary where he knew @RedFEDRARat +

[𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 ⭑ @FEDRACOMMANDER]

Brad then stepped fully into the room, the cold menace in his voice cutting through the quiet.

❝ good, you are still breathing you are still of some use to me… oh and? ❞
