(idea that popped into mind while i was in shower so ya also some hc)

“Shoot me, Broker.”

You almost couldn’t believe it. You thought you were hallucinating. Scythe, the most wanted criminal, the smartest and most cunning and strongest woman you’d ever met, your boss, was telling you to shoot her.

It had just been a normal day. You know, sneaking out of your cage in Banlands, creeping over to Scythe’s cage, picking the lock with your hair pin, setting her free, yada yada you get it. Except this time, Ban Hammer caught you. Immediately, he rushed over (surprisingly fast for a man of his age and… to put it nicely, size) and thwacked Scythe with his hammer and sent her skidding across the floor, far from you. In a flash of determination (and desperation) you darted over, picked her up, and just started running. You didn’t even know where you were going, you just knew you had to get Scythe and yourself to safety.

Eventually, you found a good hiding spot that conveniently had Scythe’s rifle in it. Gently, you set her down, and now that took you to where you currently were. Internally panicking as Scythe told you to put her out of her misery. Of course you knew she’d be in pain, but holy shit, you didn’t expect her to go suicidal!
