Containment Breach

Oh the way to the cafeteria, SCP-105 exits her cell and proceeds down the hall ahead of them. SCP-GU411 takes note of the blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman before him, watching her hips move as she walks.

One of the guards nudges him with his elbow and shakes his head. "Forget about it, Rocky. Once you became known as an SCP, children were just about out of the question."

SCP-GU411 raises an eyebrow. "Who said anything about children? I'm just admiring God's exceptional creation and temptation at work."

One of the guards chuckle. "Nice one!"

"You can not expect me to believe you four do not have an attraction to someone in this place!" SCP-GU411 mutters.

"Oh! Sure we do! However, if she had eyes for anyone, it would probably be SCP-076-2." The guard replies.

"Abel? That guy is basically a certified killing machine, and that is all he is good for." SCP-GU411 rebuts. "And he lashed out at her before being permanently detained."

"True." Two of the guards say in unison.

"Lover's argument, perhaps?" One asks.

SCP-GU411 groans. "Let's just drop it."

Once in the cafeteria, SCP-GU411 quickly scans the room. The personnel are scarce, as they are already working, short of about ten guards and three researchers still eating. Aside from them, SCP 105 and 187 are present. SCP-GU411 proceeds to collect food and head for a table between where the other two are sitting.

The guards, still collecting their food, glance back at him.

"He is not subtle at all." The first guard chuckles.

"Maybe you should give him a few pointers, family man!" The youngest says mockingly.

SCP-GU411 sits and begins eating, facing 105, and his back to 187. SCP-105 glances up at him twice, the second time with a questioning expression.

"Are.. you new here?" SCP-105 asks.

SCP-GU411 looks up at her with a confident smile. "I actually was a guard for a while before I slipped up and showed off my SCP status."

"Oh right! I didn't recognize you out of uniform!" SCP-105 smiles, looking down. "That whole showing off thing sounds familiar."

"My name is Rocky." SCP-GU411 says, trying to turn the conversation.

"Iris. It is a pleasure to meet you." SCP-105 responds.

SCP-187 keeps her head down, although blindfolded she uses plastic utensils as not to see the reflection of anyone else. She can not help but overhear the conversation, as they are only one to two tables over.

"So what is your anomalous ability?" SCP-105 asks.

The guards slowly make their way over to a nearby table, as not to alarm SCP-105.

"It sounds silly when I say it, but it is basically willpower." SCP-GU411 replies, glancing at the guards.

"That sounds cool. So what exactly got you a permeate room?" SCP-105 asks.

SCP-GU411 grins. "I broke into SCP-053's cell and spent some time with her." He then takes a bite of his food, chewing it quickly.

"Oh! I know her! Sweet girl, too bad she had to get such an awful power." SCP-105 says sadly.

SCP-GU411 taps his chest, trying not to choke on a piece of food. "I wouldn't know. Her power didn't affect me."

At this comment, SCP-187's curiosity gets the better of her. Peeking out from under the blindfold, she looks up at SCP-GU411. In a flash, she sees a man at the forefront of an army of humans and SCPs, motioning to them to charge into battle. She becomes startled, knowing that she is now staring, she quickly lowers her head again, accidentally slamming it against the table.

"Ow!" SCP-187 exclaims, clutching her forehead.

"Are you okay over there?!" SCP-GU411 asks, turning back to look in her direction.

SCP-187 thinks fast. "Yeah! Yeah. I just dozed off. Your ruckus last night didn't help me sleep!"

"Oh! Was that you?!" SCP-105 asks.

SCP-GU411 laughs. "Yeah.. I kicked my door off my cell."

"You are lucky you didn't break SCP-173's lock in the process." SCP-187 groans.

SCP-GU411 turns around. "Well, he is not exactly my hall buddy anymore, anyways."

SCP-187 stops and attempts to raise her head again, but stops herself. "What.. do you mean by that?"

SCP-GU411 points to the club, not on his back. "This is all that remains of SCP-173-1."

"Wow!" SCP-105 gasps.

"You know I can't see whatever you're referring to, asshole!" SCP-187 shouts.

SCP-105 watches silently, knowing what SCP-173 had been capable of, in the past, she could barely believe this man had reduced it to rebar.

SCP-GU411 slowly gets up. "You already did. I can feel when someone is looking at me."

SCP-105 turns her head away quickly with a slight blush.

SCP-187 hangs her head lower. "It was a split second."

"And yet you saw what I wanted to know, didn't you?" SCP-GU411 presses.

SCP-187 takes a bite of her food. "I saw nothing." She says, with her mouth full.

SCP-GU411 leans over the table, casting his shadow over her. "You...."

Suddenly, an alarm begins to sound. "Containment Breach! SCP-106 is loose!" It repeats this message.

The guards jump up and run towards the hallway.

SCP-GU411 looks around. "Iris, 187, we need to move!"

SCP-GU411 leaps over the table and grabs 187 by the arm leading her towards the hallway, followed closely by Iris.

"What do you think you are doing!!" SCP-187 asks.

"Getting you two back to safety. Neither of you has any active powers that could be used to defend yourselves. I however do." SCP-GU411 says, glancing around each corner.

"You sure seem to know a lot about us. How is that?" Iris says questioningly.

"I hacked the system and memorized all the files and facility layouts. Short story, nothing is really impossible for me." SCP-GU411 replies quickly.

Iris peeks around the next corner. "So what is the plan here?"

"Get you two back to your rooms, then I detain SCP-106, and get hailed as a hero." SCP-GU411 replies.

"Are you just that full of yourself?! 106 is impossible to detain by force!!!" SCP-187 exclaims.

SCP-GU411 yanks on her arm, as he leads her quickly down the hallway. "No. I am just confident in my abilities now, knowing what SCP-106 is capable of."

SCP-187 chuckles hysterically. "You're crazy, absolutely insane!"

As they pass SCP-053's cell, SCP-106 emerges quickly from a black, tar substance on the wall. SCP-GU411 hands SCP-187 off to Iris.

"Run for your room, it is the closet!" SCP-GU411 exclaims, grabbing hold of 106 and slamming him face-first into the floor.

Iris takes off with 187, straight to her room, and closes the door behind them. "That.. guy.. is.. insane!!!" Iris pants for breath.

Meanwhile, in the hall, SCP-GU411 struggles with SCP-106 trying to get him pinned down. "Come on, old man, you don't want to get into a full brawl with me!"

SCP-106 attempts to buck him off, but SCP-GU411 eventually gets him pinned down. SCP-106 begins laughing, as a black ink puddle forms beneath them and they fall through the floor.

SCP-GU411 wraps his arm around SCP-106's neck. "You are not getting away from me that easily."

SCP-106 continues to laugh as they fall into his pocket dimension and land on a hard black ground located in infinite darkness.

They thrash about on the ground, 106 delivering punch after punch to SCP-GU411 major organ locations, but SCP-GU411 holds tight, unphased by the physical attempts to get free.

"I'll tell you a secret if you hold still a moment, old man." SCP-GU411 taunts.

SCP-106, after a moment more of struggle, stops and looks back at him questioningly.

SCP-GU411 moves only his eyes as he speaks, looking around the empty void. "I wanted you to bring me here, for one simple reason. I am not sure how much damage I might cause if I let loose." He leans slightly forward, whispering in 106's ear. "And I certainly didn't want anyone seeing my true power before I was ready."

SCP-106's mouth bulges as he spits a black liquidized rubber on SCP-GU411.

SCP-GU411 laughs. "Is that your trunk card?! The corrosive black tar?!" SCP-GU411 dawns a calm expression. "That will not work on me. Now let's see how you handle my second phase."

SCP-GU411's eyes roll back into his head, he loosens his grip on SCP-106, and falls back unconscious.

SCP-106 turns and slowly examines his helpless prey. SCP-106 begins reaching forward, but before the old man can touch SCP-GU411 to begin his torture ritual, an invisible force grabs him and begins slamming him against the ground. 106 is then hung by his right leg, in the air, as SCP-GU411 slowly raises to his feet in a stiff stance.

SCP-GU411's blue eyes are grey and lifeless as he cocks his head to look at 106. "You underestimated me. Big mistake." He says in a gruff echoing voice.

SCP-106 grins wide.

"I will have your loyalty or I will have your life!!" SCP-GU411's voice booms.

SCP-106 is thrown into the air and caught between two invisible objects that attempt to crush him.

SCP-106 strains to push them back, but fails in the contest of strength. In a last-ditch effort, SCP-106 summons a wall of black tar, from the ground, that surrounds SCP-GU411, attempting to crush him first. However, two holes still remain in the black substance, indicating the invisible force was indeed originating from SCP-GU411. With a violent gust of wind, another invisible force slices through, leaving the black tar in tiny pieces, freeing SCP-GU411.

SCP-GU411 glares at SCP-106 as he is compressed slowly. "You have nothing that can stop me. Pledge your loyalty to me or die!"

SCP-106 slowly closes his eyes, making his best effort to raise his hands in defeat.

Without another word, SCP-GU411 releases him, as his eyes return to their normal blue tint.

SCP-106 prostrates himself on the ground before him, awaiting a command.

"Open a portal back to the SCP hall from whence we came. After which, you will be returned to your containment cell and wait patiently for my word." SCP-GU411 commands.

SCP-106 raises and opens the portal as instructed. SCP-GU411 leads him through, with 106's arms held behind his back.

Once back in the hall, SCP-GU411 removes the rebar club, from his back, and bangs it against a random metal door. "GUARDS, GUARDS, I HAVE SCP-106!!!" SCP-GU411 shouts.

The guards quickly respond to the shouts, covering the head guard as SCP-GU411 helps escort SCP-106 back to his lead-lined cell.

The head guard then guides SCP-GU411 aside. "What do you think you were doing?!"

"Protecting SCP 105 and 187 while they got to safety. Your guards left SCP-187 completely defenseless!! SCP-106 attacked us as I was escorting them. There was nothing else I could have done!" SCP-GU411 argues.

The head guard looks down the hall, then back at SCP-GU411. "Let me verify that. If that is true, you might have just earned yourself a room with a bath and a permanently unlocked door."

SCP-GU411 points to SCP-105's room. "I told them to take cover in Iris's room since it was closer."

The head guard walks up to SCP-105's cell door, followed by SCP-GU411 and knocks. "Iris, please open the door."

Iris opens the door, glancing over SCP-GU411's tar-covered body quickly. "Are you okay?!"

"Yeah, I am just fine." SCP-GU411 replies.

"Ma'am, can you confirm for me that this man aided in you and SCP-187's escape from SCP-106?" The head guard asks.

Iris nods. "He did. We might have been killed otherwise."

"That is all I need to know." The guard keys up his radio. "Did you get all of that?"

"Yes." A voice replies. "Bring the male to my office... after decontamination procedures are completed."

The guard turns to SCP-GU411. "Okay, son, this is your time with the head researcher."

"Okay, let's go!" SCP-GU411 replies.

As they walk away, Iris turns to SCP-187. "What did you see about that man?"

SCP-187 hangs her head. "I really don't think...."

"Come on! You saw it, I know you did!" Iris presses.

Guards wait silently outside the room for SCP-187.

SCP-187 shakes her head. "I'm sorry, Iris, but that information is his destiny. I can't divulge that, in good faith, to anyone but him." She starts towards the door.

Iris clutches her own arms. "At least tell me you didn't see his death.. give me that, at least."

SCP-187 turns her head with a gentle smile. "No. I did not see his death. And for the first time, in a long time, I have hope for the future." She then chuckles. "That is saying a lot, considering that is all I ever see!"

Iris smiles. "Thank you.. Jennifer."

SCP-187 continues out the door. "You are welcome, Iris."
