An Outing with Yor and Gremlins

Thanks to Leoblade24 for helping me write this chapter!

Ethan decided to take Yor out to buy more knives after she finished setting up her collection.

Now she wanted the mythical types...

Ethan took his car as Arcee was enjoying some sparring with Jenny, the robot girls were really hitting it off.

He has Cortana watch Wednesday as the custom chip and collar were gonna take some time.

Yor was wearing her pinkish coat and had a big smile on her face at the thought of getting more weapons.

They found a good weapons shop, antique and real ones, you had to have a license to buy these things, which he had thankfully.

Yor bought swords and knives of the magical variety.

They were put in a storage container that shrunk, they couldn't go out with weapons sticking out.

"Hungry Yor?" Ethan asked as they walked down the street.

"Not really sir." Yor shook her head.

Ethan stopped when he heard rattling from the alleyway.

Confused, he decided to investigate.

Yor followed looking vigilant.

What they found was a bit hard to stomach.

It was a Ganyu and Nami who looked to be **** and covered in a sticky substance, Ganyu was missing her horns and Nami's arm was injured badly.

Yor frowned as she saw this. "Watch over them." Ethan took his phone out and started dialing. He waited for someone to pick it up.

"Yeah who dis?" Came from the phone as a half drunk voice came through. "If its the house people, I ain't selling!"

"Ethan Kenway, we met in the SHH auction, you work in Rein Corp right?" Ethan got straight to the point due to being upset at the sight in front of him.

"If you want the psychics back its too late, I am keeping them." James spoke through the phone.

"No, how are they by the way?" Ethan turned, Yor was kneeling next to Nami. "Are they giving you trouble?"

“Tatsumaki got into it with My Kirlia and now thinks she’s a Ralts or Caterpie depending on Pixel’s mood," James explained. “Sometimes a metapod too... Why are you calling if it's not about the psychics?"

"Right... Anyway I have an issue here, in the alley of... High Street." Ethan looked around. "Two characters are here, in very bad shape, a Nami with a broken arm and a Ganyu without her horns."

“Oh shit,…hey! Katara! Get the med kit! Ahsoka get the van! I can’t drive!” James shouted to some characters on his end. “Are they yours? Or are you turning strays in to Rein Corp?” Noise could be heard as he is fumbling around with stuff.

"Strays... I also think they're not there mentally." Ethan frowned as he heard Nami mumbling about no more and ... Gremlins? "Probably abandoned after they broke."

“Okay, my medical character and I are on our way,” James replied as an engine started. “We could get them to the office or the hospital easily enough but we’ll know more when we get there.”

“I’m guessing you don’t want to keep these characters since abandoned ones are fair game, am I correct?” James asked.

"Hey I'm not that kind of person." Ethan frowned. "They're broken and need to go back. I mean I do buy somewhat broken girls... Like my Wanda." Ethan muttered. "They suffered enough I think."

“A full reset would leave them factory condition but if you are sure; I’ll make sure they get a great home.” James replies, hiding the returning home service characters get after 7 owners or not selling within two months.

"I'll think about it, Yor put that back." Ethan said as Yor took out Nami's weapon from her jeans. "No you can't keep it." Yor pout in sadness.

“See you soon…” James said before pausing. “Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought I heard the Nami say something about Gremlins?”

"I have a few Theories about that and I'm disgusted by the last one." Some men liked seeing women in the hands of small horny creatures. Not something he liked.

“I suggest looking around very carefully and maybe getting them inside,” James said as he recalled something from work.

Ethan sighed. "Got it... Fuck I wish Meru was here..." "Hello sir!" GAH WHAT THE FUCK!?" Ethan jumped when Meru popped out of nowhere with a grin.

She grabbed his phone when he nearly dropped it. "Where did you come from?" Ethan asked. "You call I come running." Meru giggled. The call was still active.

“You okay!? “ Shouted James from the phone. “Ahsoka step on it! Katara call magical creature control; I think more Gremlins might be on the loose.”

"Sorry my master is a bit of a klutz~" Meru spoke into the phone. "This is Meru the Succubus speakin~"

Ethan sighed. "False alarm, it's just my succubus teleporting to me." He spoke loudly and glared at Meru who smiled innocently.

“Katara let magical creature control know there is a succubus on scene and friendly, no additional signs yet of gremlins” James explained on the other end. “Might be a false alarm. Hello Meru, can you help your owner get the girls inside somewhere; if they escaped gremlins you might have a problem soon.”

"Meru, can you get the two girls comfortable?" Ethan told her. "Yor, get the door open, I think it's a empty space there.

"Sure, what about the thing in the trash?" Meru snapped her fingers and the two girls were floating.

"... What thing?" Ethan frowned, Meru pointed at the trash bin, Ethan took the top off and blinked to see gremlin munching on meat...

"Gremlin alert!" Ethan slammed the trash top back and sat on it as the trash can rattled. "I found it in the trash!"

"Katara let them know gremlins confirmed." James turned back to the call. "Back up is on the way; if your characters have weapons get them ready!"

"Remember Sunlight is best but stabbing works just as well!" Ethan heard as he used some of his demonic abilities to seal the trash can shut.

Ethan looked at Yor who had a door opened and took the two characters inside. "Yor, do you have your weapons?"

Yor took her signature weapons out with a gleam in her eyes. ".. My Yor is combat ready." Ethan slightly feared his character.

"We're around the corner and I see MCC units arriving, just a little longer," James says.

The other trash cans rattled. "... We'll be by the old bakery, Yor!" Ethan got off and ran inside as gremlins started to pop out with Yor engaging them with the same gleam in her eyes while Meru kicked one away.

"MCC is deploying gremlin killers," James says as he sees robots with sunlight producing rays enter an alley.

The gremlins hissed as they ran off but Yor got to them and screeches were heard while Meru picked one up and held it without any fear. "These things are so disgusting..." She muttered as she tossed it to the robot.

James came up as gremlins were being taken care of. Ethan stepped out once it was clear.

"My Starfire thinks they are adorable despite the fact they run from her, she throws around star bolts after all," James sighed fondly about one of his wives.

"I think these things are a menace." Ethan frowned when Yor finished. "Well looks like that's all of them."

"Yeah... It's funny since they were actually more relaxed." Meru hummed. "Like they had some fun before hand." Ethan turned green at the implication. "Meru shut up."

"Gremlins are technically sapient but primitive," James said also a bit green. "The MCC folks are having me stay back while they clear, are the girls okay? I'll see if I can get Katara through."

"Yeah, Yor, there's someone coming through don't impale them." Ethan said to Yor who nodded and smiled.

Meru stretched, Ethan finally noticed that she was wearing a business attire, the white tube top under a black jacket buttoned up and a black skirt with heels. "... What's with the outfit?" "Oh I was trying on outfits for my new job when you called!"

"They agreed to let Katara through and are also sending a retrieval bot to help get them out of the hazard zone." James said. "I overheard that they found some cameras around the alley, the kind that transmit and are available anywhere."

Ethan hummed as he looked at the robots as they passed. "Well maybe we can see how they got here with these... Nasties." Ethan looked down at the dust that was once gremlins.

"Let me know when Katara gets to ya." There were sirens coming closer. "Well I'll be talking to the cops." James walked away, a Katara comes over.

"Oh a Katara! I have questions!~" Meru purred. "Meru behave." Ethan sighed. Yor came up looking at the robots.

"Hello where are they?" Asks Katara as she reaches the bakery flanked by a pair of robots scanning for threats.

Ethan pointed behind the counter, Meru looked at Katara and purred as she stepped forward. "So you can bend All types of liquid?" She asked with a perverted grin.

"Yes but blood is too horrifying. Milk is weird and cum is only for clean up usually," Katara replied easily as she started checking Nami and Ganyu using the medkit she had. "Water whips are fun but cum whips are too sticky."

Ethan facepalmed while Yor blushed and gazed off into space at the implications.

"Oh~ you are fun!" Meru giggled as Ethan grabbed her by the tail and pulled her back. "Excuse my succubus, she's shameless."

"I'm used to it from my harem-sisters like Gaige, Clover, and Shampoo, especially Shampoo when she's in heat," Katara said as she used a stimpak to repair Ganyu's wounds, she examined her horns.

"... She would make a good assistant master." Yor whispered. "I have Jenny, she's enough... Besides I doubt Ganyu would be able to keep up with a robot."

Meru hummed. "Yeah but it would be fun to tease her." She got up. "So what's your master like?" She asked Katara. "My master is very possessive and doesn't talk about others so much, if anything he's an introvert." "HEY!" Ethan frowned. "I talk to others." "Friends that's not characters." Meru shot back, Ethan bit his lip and huffed.

"My master is possessive too; a neighbor tried to touch Aelita and we haven't seen the guy since," Katara shrugged before grimacing as she checked Nami's responsiveness. "But my master does go out to drink with one of our neighbors and a friend, gets thrown out of casinos, and sometimes visits places."

Meru hummed. "Have you seen others like me?" She asked.

Ethan looked at Ganyu who was still asleep, wouldn't she be awake by now... Considering her personality she needed the sleep.

"Succubus? Only when James decided to try the services of that Succubus wet dream brothel without telling anyone," Katara admitted. "We almost killed her before James called us off; we probably should've let him sleep early like he had been asking but we had needs you know."

"Oh, hmm maybe I should ask Ethan if I can get a succubus sister."

"Hell no, you and Harley get into enough trouble." Ethan spoke up. "Plus you already have a job in hell so you'll have lots of succubus friends.

"We're not that bad! Name one time!"

"The bar incident when you begged me to let you go with Selena bar hopping, the man who tried to grope Izumi during a shopping trip, you broke his wrist, you even stole a girls panties over a dare." Ethan listed out.

"I said one!" Meru screeched.

"Just like Gaige," Katara said fondly to herself. "...And Shampoo... they really want those views..." Katara used her water bending to heal Nami's arms

"Oh Harley and Yor do videos together!" Meru grinned. "Informative ones and fun one!"

"Gaige and Shampoo mostly game with Shampoo failing a lot; also pranks that sometimes go to far," Katara said as she used medicine to heal the bite marks. "They really should've thought it through before they moved the neighbors' cars around. And when they swapped the soda with tea. James doesn't even drink tea."

"Oh there was a prank where we got a character from some jerk who modded her to lactate, we gave the milk to the girls and wondered who would be the last to notice that it was different." Meru giggled. "It was funny to see Bonnie flustered by others drinking her milk"

"Our Blake Belladonna completely freaked out when she saw a gallon of Blake Belladonna milk in the fridge. When she finally calmed down, our Suki then came in and drank the milk without realizing it was from a lactating Blake at a farm somewhere.

"HAH!" Meru laughed. "I wish I could've seen that!"

Ethan rolled his eyes and texted Wanda, he put his phone away. "Will they be okay?" He asked Katara.

"I think so? I don't know about them mentally, but physically?" Katara frowned a bit. "James always makes sure we have some pretty great medicine around so they should be safe for now but to be sure a doctor should see them incase I missed something." Katara tapped her cheek.

"The Nami is definitely going to need some physical therapy unless some RealDreams controlled medicine is used." Katara looked at Nami.

"Considering what they went through, I think they need a break if you know what I mean." Ethan sighed as he leans against the wall. "So how long have you been with James?"

"Around five months I think now? He saved me and Ahsoka from a hunting lodge; allowed us to hop in his van when he was picking up those who couldn't escape." Katara said sadly. "They were able to revive the others thankfully. James bought us directly from Rein Corp after we saved him from an ambush in turn. He was already going to get us since Aelita needs a midwife and I qualified."

"Wow, glad he got you, your pretty reliable." Ethan smiled. "Yor is reliable too, same with my Aoi, although she gets on my case of overworking.."

"We're having trouble getting James to work..." Katara sighed. "The past month has just been crazy with attacks, fights, and hospital visits. Three times while on the job."

"... Well it's a good thing all Ethan does is work behind his desk and argue with assholes." Meru hummed. "Wanda would be very protective of him if that happened."

"Understatement, she would tie him to the bed and stay with him until the threat passed... Although I doubt she'll let him go after.."

"Starfire and Diana have been sticking to James like glue; barely leaving him alone to go to the bathroom," Katara said as she helped a robot get Nami on a stretcher. "The only reason they aren't here is because James locked them in the electro tank and spanker cross earlier."

"Fair enough, we guys need our personal space." Ethan smirked. "Sometimes we just need some time to unwind"

"I'm just glad, he didn't go on a drunk ponygirl ride around the neighborhood again, Laura was barely able to keep him away from the McKirk's ghoul guards with how hard he pulled her reins, course he was only able to get a few drinks in tonight. This is a much better use of his time."

The two girls looked at Ethan who blinked. "What?" "Should we try and get him drunk?" Meru whispered to Yor.

"I would be curious to see how he acts drunk..." Yor mumbles.

Katara looks away with a fond smile thinking of some of James’ drunken antics. One robot moves away with Nami and she is now helping the other one with Ganyu.

“I think we should follow the robots out, if that is okay with you?” Katara said to Ethan.

Ethan nodded and adjusted his jacket. "Yeah, let's go." They followed the robots out of the alley.

At the end of the alley we’re several officers (both police and magical creature control) along with James and a Professor Xavier who was actually standing!

Ethan noticed the X helmet on this Charles and looked at James. "Nice to see you again by the way." Ethan grinned.

“You too,” James grins back and shakes Ethan’s hand. “Y’all didn’t get hurt or anything?”

Ethan shrugged and flicked his wrists, showing his hidden blade. "I'm fine, I could've handled myself but Yor is more experienced with stabbing." He motioned to his assassin who bowed in greeting, Meru grinned and winked at James.

“Good to see another Prime Worlder who knows weapons,” James said greeted Ethan’s characters. A green bracket on his right arm shifted and became a dagger made of rose thorns and petals. Yor watched in awe and tried to reach out for it.

“Hello Meru,” James nodded to her while putting the rose dagger away. “Sorry Yor, your dagger is in another castle”

"You can call me anything~" Meru purrs, her golden eyes glowing as she leaned over, showing her cleavage.

Yor blinked and blushed. Ethan rolled his eyes again. "She has a weapon fetish, don't mind Yor."

“Well Meru-chan, we should see if the professor here can get any information from the Nami and Ganyu while we can.” Professor has his hands on their foreheads.

Meru pouted. "Not even a blush.." she huffed. Ethan chuckles. "Well, considering he's seen more succubus then you, maybe he's immune."

Ethan turned to the professor. "Anything?" He asked curiously.

“Sorry Meru, whenever supernatural charms are on me; it funnels to some of my soul bonded girls; you need a lot more power to influence me,” James said, thankful that he hid his blush well.

"I was using my natural charms!" Meru pouted more. "Using magic makes it so boring."

"It's gonna take time, they were broken badly, from... Pleasure and some ****."

"... As in pleasure you mean .." Ethan went green at that part.

“They found the gremlins in a pile of sex dolls after their owner dumped them here but before that I’m not quite sure.” James explained.

"... Geez and the owners of these two?" Ethan looked at the two girls.

"Nami was very resistant, it got her... Into trouble." Charles explained. "Ganyu was overly pleasing... Too much so.." Charles sighed as he looked at her horns. "Those were self done."

Yor looked horrified. Meru frowned. "... Shit." Ethan sighed.

“Like she got in over her head and they broke or she shaved them off?” James asked knowing that goat horns continuously grew,

“Yup, though why didn’t they just get a fully human variant of Ganyu if they didn’t like the horns,” James wondered out loud. “Then again they might’ve wanted to know if she would follow the order.”

"I hope she finds a better home." Ethan rubbed his head. "Thanks for coming. By the way."

“No problem, coming to the rescue of beautiful women is in my blood,” James said cheekily.” It’s how my dad met my mom.”

“Nice chat but can you tell us anything about how you found them?” Asked one of the officers.

"I was taking my character out to eat and maybe but some more knives for her collection, I then heard some rattling coming from the alley, I found them... I guess the gremlins caused the rattling." Ethan muttered the last part.

“And you called him? How come?” The officer gestures to James.

"We met in the past, he gave me his number telling me if there were any issues with characters to call him, so I did.' Ethan explained. "First thing that came to mind."

“Right…” The officer looked at James cautiously causing Katara to grit her teeth.

Ethan raised an eyebrow. "Well, is there anything else officer?"

“Did they say anything at all?" The officer asked.

"No, both were in catatonic states, Nami was mumbling no more and mentioned the gremlins." Ethan answered

“I’m guessing we’re not going to get much from a mind search” he said addressing Xavier. “Their minds are too far gone, maybe if I had a Cerebro available I could get more but it’s unlikely.”

“Could’ve been a coincidence they were abandoned here or it was a game for them especially if they are transmitting,” the officer glanced at the go pro on the wall.

"These things have been happening for a while?" Ethan asked with an expression of shock.

“Huh?” The officer made a noise as Ethan’s question registered. “Yeah, someone’s been dumping activated gremlins all over town the past month; each time characters were attacked by them after being abandoned with no ownership tracking.”

"... Well that's unnerving." Ethan frowned. "I hope this gets settled, I don't want to see anyone getting hurt."

“I’ll take care of them,” James reassured him. “Also here.” From James’s rose dagger grew another smaller dagger better fit for Yor’s hands. “A gift; not everyone would care to call about hurt or abandoned characters so thanks.” He addresses Yor, “keep it watered with sugar water and plenty of sunlight and it will last a good amount of time.”

Yor nodded with a smile. "Thank you so much." Ethan smiled. "Well, I'll be seeing you James " he nodded and left with his girls.

"Well that was exciting." Yor seemed very happy.

"Meru, go home me and Yor will see you there." Ethan ordered.

"Awe can't I come with you?" Meru pouted.

"... Fine." Ethan patted her head and walked to the car.
