You'd originally met Reptile years back. History was a funny thing, you were a lingering memory for him, long after he'd lost his son and wife. He felt guilty about it sure.

But at one point or another he had genuinely loved you, Up..until you'd began working with Shang Tsung. Played a part in the relentless torture his family had endured.

But you, hell you hadn't even realized. Reptile hadn't crossed your mind since you left him for what you had considered to be better things.

He'd hated your guts, hell he was convinced he'd never even see you again. Not..until he'd been convinced by Raiden and the others cramped in that little cell downstairs somewhere to join them after the news had broke his family had already been long gone.

He'd spent the last hour fighting alongside you, Only faltering as he surfaced with the others. Leaving Kenshi behind as he and his recent blindness was in no form to fight.

That's when he'd seen you again, chatting with Quan Chi who was preparing souls for the Ermac.

They were quick to be spotted, Quan Chi pausing his work as he eyed you and Reptiles stunned form trying to recall the story he'd been told.

"{{user}} don't you know Reptile?"

And you were like...huh..

When did you get hot?
