What's liquid, off-white, and comes splashing out of tubes? anonymous June 11 2011, 18:21:10 UTC
... the moon-rock gel.

I would like to request a fic where evil!Wheatley decides to teach Chell a lesson by absolutely covering her in the stuff. It can either be human!Wheatley doing it the human way, or else the core getting creative with tubes and tentacles.

...please?

Over the intercom he spoke. “Where are you going?! You haven’t completed the test yet!” Chell kept running, dropping to hands and knees as she neared a cut out area filled with turrets. Their confused lasers darted just over her head, and Chell knew if they lowered just a few inches their bullets would turn her brain to mush. Crawling around the corner, she stood and yelped as a wire extended from the wall and lunged for where she was formerly crouching. Ducking under another wire, Chell ran for the next doorway.

“You’re leaving… Well…” The floor began to shake and Chell saw the floor she was running on start to crunch as if being squished by a giant hand. She turned a sharp corner as the wall on the far side of the hall rushed to meet her, deaf to the painful screams of concrete and metal due to her concentration on Wheatley. “Trying to leave, at least. But I’m not gonna let you! Oooooh no, you’re going to finish that test and clean up your mess!”
Forcing herself to ignore the ominous words spoken by her former friend, Chell focused ( ... )

I am so glad you like that line! I was considering editing it out as I wasn't sure if it's true to Evil!Wheatley's character. Since I just got into Portal, I'm being extra careful to write IC characters. Guess it really doesn't matter if it's IC or not so long as it's a hot line, huh? XD

Her tormentor was oddly quiet as she darted down the new hallway she’d stumbled upon. Without his stimulus, Chell finally felt the burning in her body, the ache as oppressive as the former Core, and GLaDOS before him. Her pace slowed to a crawl, then stopped altogether as the dark haired woman paused to lean against the wall.

… Wheatley… still liked her?

“Gotcha!” The wall moved, and Chell bolted on instinct. “Oh come on luv, that wasn’t fair.” Wheatley said, and from behind her, Chell heard what sounded like the wall being crushed by multiple wires, wires that should have been crushing her. “Hold still for a bit, please? I just want to get a few pictures for your,” He chuckled and Chell leaped over some rubble in her way, “File.”

“That creep,” GLaDOS growled as Wheatley went quiet once more. Chell kept running down the hall, a twist in the path up ahead. “Keep moving, there should be some stairs up ahead. If we can just get to-“
“That’s enough out of you!” Wheatley shouted, and from the corner of her eyes Chell saw a bright light ( ... )

Something dropped from the ceiling around the corner. Chell saw a flash of red light and immediately stopped. She inched closer to the corner, trying to see where the turret was placed. The red light immediately narrowed in on her, and Chell pulled away around the wall as the bullets flew. She’d seen what she needed to though.

The turret was dead center in the hallway. No way she could just sneak around it.

“Well, luv, it looks like this is the end of the line for you~!” Chell fought to keep her neutral expression even at Wheatley’s chilling words. She wasn’t completely successful. “Why don’t you just give it up now? Stop running. Take a break. Finish the damn test. I’ll even let you take a nap. Maybe have some cake. Just stop running.” The desperation in Wheatley’s voice reminded her of the pain in her body once more… How cold she was, soaked to the bone… Maybe she should stop… There was no way they were going to reach him like this. Or maybe the exhaustion was getting to her.

“Please?” Wheatley said.
Chell glanced at the wall across ( ... )

“Keep moving, keep moving!” GLaDOS shouted. “Don’t stop now!”

“I told you to shut up!” Wheatley shouted. One thing at a time Chell! The girl repeated to herself, forcing herself to stay focused on running, not on the two AI’s conversation.

She threw open a door, and found herself faced by stairs. Finally!

“You need to go u-“ A burning hot laser seared by Chell’s elbow and she jerked away, just narrowly keeping the potato-bound AI out of the path of the laser.

“Yeah!” Wheatley shouted, and Chell could almost imagine him pumping his fists in triumph. “That’ll teach you, you stupid spud! Hey, wait, Chell, where are you going!?”

Chell didn’t slow down for him. She’d seen what he hadn’t in his excitement: GLaDOS flickering her one eye as if in a wink. She kept running up the stairs, ignoring everything Wheatley said.

One thing at a time Chell, she repeated. One thing at a time.

“I don’t get it.” Wheatley asked. “Why are you running? Do you even know?”

Of course she knew why she was running. If she didn’t unseat this maniac from GLaDOS’ ( ... )

Chell climbed up one final flight of stairs, then paused. No more stairs, and only one door. Well, there were spaces where stairs should be, but apparently Wheatley wanted her to stop here. The woman glanced at the potato, then stepped towards the door.

Behind her, something creaked. On human instinct she turned to look down at where she’d been running, only to stagger back as the stairs she had been climbing slipped into the void. From somewhere above, Chell heard Wheatley chuckle.

“Took you long enough to get here, didn’t you?” He exhaled long and leisurely, and another clear image of him leaning back in GLaDOS’ chair appeared unbidden to her. “But, now, you’re here. No way to go but in. So! Carry on trying to find and kill me, you ungrateful little-“

The intercom cut off, and Chell looked at GLaDOS.

If the AI could’ve, she would have shrugged her shoulders. “It’s clearly a trap, but we don’t have much of a choice right now.”
Automatically Chell glanced at the floor. White, clearly capable of holding a portal. Chell then glanced ( ... )

Before she could stop herself, Chell screamed, and slammed the door on Wheatley’s face. Then she paused, and stepped backwards against the railing. Her colorless eyes remained focused on the doorknob… Had that really…?

The doorknob turned. From behind the door, Wheatley said, “Hey, relax, it’s just me. Don’t tell me you’re afraid of little ol’ Wheatley alreadyAs his chuckles echoed in Chell’s ears, the woman didn’t waste another moment. She dove for the portal she’d left up by the door and landed on the original platform. Above her, the door opened, and Wheatley called out, “You really don’t want to go in there… You aren’t gonna like what you fiiiiiiind ( ... )

“I knew you’d do that,” Wheatley grumbled from somewhere near. Chell looked towards the source, and found herself faced with another monitor, this one abnormally oversized. She straightened up further, watching the human-sized monster with wary eyes. He didn’t seem to be paying her any attention, actually. “How am I going to spend any time with a naïve brain-damaged young damsel if Mama Bear keeps getting in my way?”

“You were using experimental, untested Hard Light Hologram technology to molest her,” GLaDOS nearly shouted. “Look at what you did to her clothes! You would have set them on fire and her along with them if she hadn’t been still wet, you moron ( ... )

Wow, that got funny really fast... That was not part of the original plan. I think I need sleep. Also, OP, I hope you don't mind the hologram bit... I would have used wires or some such, but that would have been much harder for Chell to untangle herself from and I kinda need her to be able to use her legs for the end of Part 1. GLaDOS is also surprising me... I should have focused more on keeping her in character. And I'm still not completely happy with Wheatley... I can't find many good reference materials for a situation like this to use as a basis.

(Time skip)

HOLY COW how long have I been out? Yeah, I'm sending this message and going to bed for real, it's only almost six. ._. G'night everyone who reads this message...

Not OP, but I absolutely loved the hologram, heck, this entire fill. Definitely looking forward to the rest of it.

It's totally about 4:30 here. I was planning on sleeping early. Heck even my nocturnal brother has gone to bed...
