il pov.

     I still haven't heard anything from Techno yet, it's been about a week. That's when I finally heard a knock on the door, my heart raced as I pretty much flew to the door, pulling it open quickly. I sighed when it was only Niki, "I'm so sorry Phil." She held out some flowers, "Techno asked me to bring these, I wish he would have just sent a letter." I reach out to take hold of the flowers before pausing, "You've seen Techno?" Niki's face drops, "You haven't heard? Oh I- I'm so sorry Phil.." 

     My heart aches as I can already tell what's coming, "They found him when he was asking me to bring flowers.." I can't help but groan, "I told him to not- ugh" I run my hands through my hair, "Would you like to come inside Niki, I know you came along way, you can meet Y/n." 

     "Y/n? Is that who the flowers are for?"  I shrug in response, but I'm sure she's right. I close the door behind her and make my way into the basement to begin gathering supplies.  I'll head to the syndicate meeting room to check the stasis chambers first, please tell me he was smart about this...

Niki pov.  m

     It's been a while since I've come to Techno's house, I just wish the circumstance wasn't so gloomy. I trust that Phil will be able to help him. I can hear Phil hurrying down the stairs as I look around. I don't find anyone in the area, so I make my way up the stairs to the floor above me. I can hear a dog whining and a quiet giggle from what I remember to be Techno's bedroom. I creep over to the door and put my ear against the door to listen for a moment, "You're paws are dirty, Techno might not like you being on the bed." The dog whines again, "Awe don't be like that." I can't see her face, but I can hear from the sound of her voice that she's struggling to refuse the dog's puppy eyes. A small smile forms on my lips, I knock softly on the door "Y/n?" All the noise stops in the room, except for the dog moving around, I hear some fabric moving before her voice is right outside the door, "Hello..?" She mumbles, almost a whisper. It's strange, her voice sounds very familiar. I turn the door handle and push the door in some, peaking my face in, "Helloo." I smile at her, trying to sound as cheerful as possible. 

     I take in her appearance and it looks like she hasn't really been out of bed recently. Her hair is tangled up in more ways than I can count, her clothes seem wrinkled and loose as if she's been wearing the same ones for a while. Her eye's are down casted, her cheeks turning pink as she notices my staring. She's holding a large cat in her arms, and the dog that was in the room with her took this chance to get on the bed. I smile gently at her, "I'm Niki, Techno's friend." She looks at the flowers that I'm holding, "Oh these," I hold them out for her to take, "Techno asked me to get these for you, as an apology." The large cat jumps from her arms onto the floor, making it's way over to find a comfortable position on the bed. I watch as her hands reach out and take ahold of the flowers. A smile making its way onto her face, although she tried to hide it. "I'm Y/n," She mumbles, hiding behind the flowers, "thank you for the flowers, Niki." I smile at her, it doesn't seem like she socializes much. 

     After a while, Y/n seemed to open up to me quite a bit. It was very sweet. We talked for hours on end, about random things mostly. She found a flower pot somewhere for the flowers, I'm surprised she found one with how bad Techno is at organizing. We decided together that we should place them as the center piece to the kitchen table to surprise Techno when he makes back. It seems Phil decided to not tell her about Techno, the poor girl. When I mention Techno, she seems to perk up quite a bit. She enjoys listening to my many stories about him, all good of course. 

     "Y/n," I decide to bring up the topic of her appearance, hoping I could help her clean up some, "um.. have you taken a shower recently or anything?" Her face immediately flushes as she realizes what I'm saying. "It's not a bad thing that you haven't I promise." I smile at her and reach across the table to grab ahold of her hand to comfort her, "I can understand, but will you try?" She looks a little uncomfortable. I pull my hands away from hers, worried I over stepped considering we've only just met. She sighs and looks over at me, "What if she shows up and I'm not here to greet him?" I'm confused. "Why would you need to greet him?" 

     "He left so suddenly, what if I make him upset? He might be angry with me if I'm not right where he left me when he arrives-"

     "woah, woah, woah-" My eyes are wide as I cut her off, "I promise Techno isn't like that y/n.." She groans and pulls her legs up into her chair, "I know, I just- ugh, I just can't help but worry. He's done so much for me." I sigh and smile at her, "How about you take a shower then, for him?" She blinks at me, as if what I said didn't register in her thoughts. "He'll feel horrible if he finds out you're not taking care of yourself because of him." I feel terrible using this tactic to get her to try and clean up, but I can't think of any other way. "I can show you to Phil's shower and then I'll get you some clothes to wear out of Techno's room." 

     I watch as she thinks for a moment and then nods in agreement, her legs sliding out of the chair and making contact with the floor again. I smile and lead the way. After about 30 minutes, I manage to get her to shower and change into some of Techno's clothes since I couldn't find any of hers. When she finished getting dressed, I brushed her hair out for her and tied it back out of the way with some hair ties Techno and Phil had. "Better?" I watch as she sinks into the sofa beside me, she looks a lot better now. "Better." She mumbles as she smiles at me.

Techno pov.

     I woke up to pain. I felt pain through my whole body, my chest, my face, my legs, oh yeah definitely my legs. As soon as I had gained consciousness chat became overwhelming, they were all yelling over one another, some demanding blood, other's just chanting "Technoblade never dies." How long have I been here? I look around the room I'm in, I don't see any exits. "Technooo~!" I hear a high pitched laughing coming from a familiar voice. "I told you we'd get you, didn't I?" I can hear in his voice that he is relishing in this. "Heyyy, come on, Don't look so upset.." He mumbles, through some sort of speaker. Before he finished I'm hit over the back of my head with a wooden pole. "Come ooon, where's the mighty Techno at huh?" I can hear him behind me now, I roll over onto my back to look up at him. "You can't hold a grudge against me for this, Techno." Quickity snarls at me, the scar of his face pulling tight, "I'm only getting what I'm owed." He swings his wooden pole down at me, not expecting me to roll out of the way, "wha-" Before he can finish, I've already made it on my feet and am darting out the exit that he left open when he came in. "Damn it!" I hear him yell out frustrated behind me before his footsteps begin to follow after mine. 

      I round a corner, getting out of his sight and stop and wait. He runs straight around the corner and I grab him by his shirt, yanking him back before he can stop himself. Quickity loses his balance and falls back down onto his back. The voices in my head begin chanting together all at once, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD. I feel myself lose control as I stand over him. Seeing fear creep into his eyes gives the voices a rush and they begin cheering me on. "...do it...revenge...blood.." I can see his lips moving, but I can't hear what he's saying as I lean down to pick up the wooden pole he dropped. I stop for a moment, making eye contact with him, "Blood for the blood god." I whisper under my breath, tasting my own blood in my mouth. I go to swing the pole down at the terrified man at my feet, chat screaming so loudly that my ears were burning. I close my eyes as my arms come down hard, I hear a loud thunk and then silence suddenly.

     "Holy Shit Mate, what did they do to you?" I'm suddenly clinging to the walls of the stasis chamber, my body floating in the water. I look up at the voice. Oh thank God. "Phil, thank you, oh my god." I groan, pulling myself out of the water, my clothes now soaked through with water and blood. "Yeah mate.." Phil mumbles, his voice and face shot through with worry as he takes in my injured, messy state.
