13. A Short but Meaty Chapter

Ao3 Link || Part Twelve • Part Fourteen (WIP) • Fic Masterpost

><><><

“What the fuck do you mean Ollie ‘ran away?’ Wasn’t anyone watching him?” Lizzie half-screamed.

“He was in his quarters a few minutes ago and now he’s gone!” John repeated in a panic. “He’s not on the ship, I’ve looked everywhere!”

“Okay. Okay, okay, okay.” Lizzie put a hand over her forehead. “He can’t have gone too far. Jay, run up to the crow’s nest and try to spot him. You and you—” She pointed at Gillion and John. “—Split up and search the docks and marketplace. I’ll take the mainland.”

“WAIT.” A shout haunted the frantic energy in the room. Everyone turned to Chip, still sitting in the brig cell. “Uh, can I help?”

“Nope!” Gillion said as he sprinted out the door.

“I wasn’t asking you,” Chip mocked to Gillion’s back. He turned to Lizzie with a smile.

“No,” Lizzie said.

Chip’s face fell. “I thought we had a moment, Lizzie! Come on! I meant what I said before, I really do like kids. I don’t wanna see anything bad happen to the little guy.”

“Oh, you mean like how ‘nothing bad’ happened to those two girls you tricked into blowing up the fucking marketplace?” Jay snapped.

“Chip…” Lizzie asked in a warning tone. “What is she talking about?”

“Exactly what it sounds like.” Jay folded her arms. “He tricked some kids into blowing up a sausage cart. Started a fire that tore through half the marketplace.”Lizzie glanced at Chip behind her. “I’m… not surprised.”

“The kids were fine! I was supervising!” Chip protested.

“Listen, Chip, I can’t deal with this right now.”

There were too many crises happening in Lizzie’s life right now. She didn’t want to feel, she wanted to do. Finding Ollie was something she needed to do. It wasn’t running away, it was organizing. Optimizing. Was she a little glad? Sure, but…

Oh, Gods, why am I glad? Am I really that selfish? Ollie could be in serious danger right now and I was HAPPY he went missing? Just so I wouldn’t have to focus on my own shit for a few seconds?

“Uh, Lizzie?” Chip spoke up.

“SHUT IT,” Lizzie snapped without meaning to. “Jay, crow’s nest. I… I need to go find Ollie.”

  ><

Chip watched with a metallic taste in his mouth as Lizzie slammed the brig door shut. He sat back, eyes wide and face blank. He felt like he was a book and someone had torn out all the pages. Now that the detour of the missing kid was over, he’d been forced to process the conversation he’d just had.

“So,” He spoke to himself, “She hates me. Sure. But does she hate me because she hates me or does she hate me because of…” he trailed off, unconsciously feeling for the mark Niklaus had left him with.

“I wouldn’t bet on that first thought.”

“Think of the devil and he appears,” Chip sighed, turning to face what he knew was no longer his cell.

True to form, Niklaus had not come to him for this meeting. Instead, Chip had been whisked away to a garden. Silver lilies blooming in a pond was the centerpiece of this one. An ornate metal table was next to it. Niklaus was seated at one of two chairs, a hot drink in front of him, lounging about in his usual dramatics.

Chip raised an eyebrow at the scenery. “New place. I like it.”

Niklaus smiled sweetly at the boy. He gestured for him to come and take a seat. Chip obliged, tromping inelegantly to his spot.

“What’s up?”

Niklaus beamed. “Oh, Chip, you should have told me you had a sister. I could have helped you find her much soon—“

Chip interrupted, “Hey, who says I’m happy she found me?”

“Hm.” Niklaus took a sip from his tea. “Apologies for assuming. I just find her… interesting.”

“Stop playing coy. I sensed your mark on her little fish friend. Got his whole deal from it and, I gotta say, did not like it. I know you already know about her.”

“You disapprove? I thought you didn’t care.”

“I never said I don’t care. I just said I wasn’t happy she knew about me.” Chip crossed his arms, looking away. “And I never said I disapproved.”

“Worried?” Niklaus crooned.

“I—“ Chip squared up, face red in what he liked to think was anger but was really embarrassment. Then he met Niklaus’s eyes and softened. “I know how much you like your drama. Don’t get me wrong, it’s hilarious what a line you’ve caught this Gillion guy on, but… I don’t want Lizzie hurt.”

“I suppose that takes you off the table too, then.”

“Hey, I’m the karma of your stories. Being the villain is fun! Like going after that mayor? Satisfying. Like squishing a bug. If Gillion sours, I don’t have any problems reaping what he’s sown.”

Niklaus put his cup down. “Chip, you understand that would hurt her, right?”

“Pfft. Sure. Just, uh, don’t make the favor something that’s like ‘kill all your friends,’ y’know? …Please?”

Niklaus laughed. He stood, walking over to where Chip was seated and placing a kiss on his forehead. “Of course not. I take care of you, Chip, and on Arlin’s name I always will. Now, go have some fun.”

Chip was back in the empty brig. He looked around, cracked his knuckles, and stood. He put his face up to the bars, grinning. His body began melting into a black, dripping mist that swept through the cell and onto the other side, reforming into himself.

“See ya!” Chip gave a mocking salute to his prison. “I got kids to save and points to prove.”

Bro is devious

[lizzie-and-chip-swap-au]

Thinking about Jay getting her wings for the first time on the ship. Thinking about chip and gilly trying to cheer her up cuz she complained her back hurt. Thinking about the blood curdling, heart wrenching sobs that came from her when they sprouted, how her back bled and one of her white tank tops gained a red hue. Thinking about how Gillion And Chip wouldn’t know what to do while she sobbed in her hammock, Should she even be in the hammock? Is that making the pain worse? Thinking about Jay being unable to sleep for nights and finally asking Drey who goes “lol wings”

WAIT CLONING ISN'T PERFECT

remember how I was talking about 'how I know it isn't canon-compliant but what about a more monstrous design of dopplegilly'?

Well, assuming dopplegilly was made during the period of time Gillion was in the helmet mind solder thingy, considering he did have memory of the helmet thingy, he would have had to take form very very fast

And they only had so much skin and muscle from Gillion, not nearly enough for the DNA to completely and identically match up

but the Navy is smarter than that

what if, the navy, knowing the dopples disguises wouldn't have been perfect, played a little bit of God

What if they mixed some mimic DNA in there as well?

I don't study that kinda stuff, so I'm definitely unknowledgeable, but hear me out

The Navy has been experimenting on and replacing residents of the undersea for quite some time now, we know this

but they must have been doing it fast, quantity over quality

all they needed was lots of soldiers and spies and people on the inside, they didn't care if they looked identical

So to fill in the gaps, all I needed was the DNA of a creature that could change its appearance rapidly and deceive the eyes incredibly well

that's where the mimic DNA comes in

the main body of whoever it was the dopple would be trying to replace would still be relatively the same, same face, same features, ect

But it's the little bits, the eye color, the patterns, the scars, the little things they didn't have enough material to fill

The dopples would have the ability to change little pieces about themselves, maybe even some of them would have more mimic in them than others, mainly because the Navy didn't care to balance it out right

Maybe because of that, some of them came out deformed, some of them came out wrong, with bulging tumors and eyes and mouths where there shouldn't be eyes and mouths

Maybe because of that, some of them could transform more than others

Maybe because of that, some of them could even mimic sounds

That sounds absolutely terrifying

Something that not only looks like your friend, but can also mimic the voices of you and anybody else you know scarily down to detail

So what about some kind of 'true form' for dopplegilly?

A version of him, when reduced down to his basic components, with large, sharp fins and spikes and spines and a split lower jaw with serrated teeth?

Think Mandela catalog maybe, with eyes a little too wide and teeth just a little too big

Dunno why but I think I'm tempted to make a whole list of headcannons and ideas for the dopples

They sound like terrifyingly amazing ambush predators now that I'm thinking about it

basically just really intelligent more humanoid mimics, except they can only really mimic one shape/person, the person they were made to mimic, without really looking out of place

Anyway, I don't think this is really far-fetched, but more of an idea than anything

#oh HELL yes
