Chapter 19

Trigger warning (ptsd, fear, self wetting)

Gregory stayed silent as Roxanne led the way. He couldn't say he trusted the woman on the screen, but at the same time.... he'd get to stay with Freddy. But Vanessa would still be there, and he had no way to make sure it would be safe.

He sighed, this was too much for him to think about, and he was too tired to concentrate, so when he looked up, he was surprised to see they were by the Glamrock Salon. He blinked as Roxy waited by the doorway, hand on her hip. He blinked as he glanced around, wondering why they were here.

"You need to relax a bit kid." Roxy said, feeling a bit better now they were on her turf. "So, I sent a message to Chica to find you some new foods to try and I can give you a nice hair washing, cause its a bit of a mess." She said, trying to spare his feelings. To be honest, she was glad she couldn't smell, the kid literally had some kind of slime caked in his hair and she had no idea where that had come from.

Really though, she wanted to give him a haircut but... well, she doubted he'd enjoy the idea of her having any sharp items near him, so she wasn't going to push it.

Gregory looked a little apprehensive, but he stepped past into the beauty salon, the black and white tiled floor a nice contrast to the red chairs dotting the place. Roxanne tried to hide a bit of a tail wag at the thought of finally getting to do something with the rats nest of hair the boy was sporting. "Ok Gregory, just sit in the chair and relax." The wolf said with a slightly upbeat tone to her voice. "Oh, you can pop your bag to the side, I promise I won't touch it, ok?"

Gregory glanced at the padded chair, recalling coming past before when they were sprawled all over the place, but took a deep breath and set the bag down by the mirror in the far right corner before sliding into the red chair. As he did so, the chair rocked a little, then turned, as the sound of running water caught his attention. Roxanne was holding a showerhead in one hand and was running the water over her fingertips, something that confused the boy until he reasoned that she must have some way to check the temperature as this was her area of expertise.

She nodded to herself, before catching the look from Gregory and looking slightly embarrassed. "I don't want it the wrong temperature, It's gotta be perfect, or you can't relax." She reasoned, glancing to the side as her self assured nature surfaced again. "Just lean back, there's a sink I can rinse your hair in." The wolf said, changing the subject as she rested the showerhead on a hook as the water sprayed against the porcelain bowl. Gregory nodded, doing so, but tensing a bit as Roxy swiftly tucked a towel in under his neck and secured it under his chin, the whole motion so sudden he barely realized she was doing it until it was too late, causing the boy to shudder a little before she carefully guided the warm water over the top of his head, drenching his hair in warm water.

"Now Gregory, I know you're worried about me being close so..." Roxy paused, looking concerned, something that Gregory found strange. "...just say if you need me to back up. And, to be on the safe side, I don't mind you holding this if it makes you feel less worried." She said, feeling kind of stupid as she handed him his faz camera. Gregory was surprised, he hadn't expected her to care too much, and he was kind of touched that she was worrying about him. He nodded.

"Its fine for now. I know you guys aren't the same as you were back then." He said carefully after a moment as Roxanne shifted to the sink behind his head, angling the water and using her fingers to make sure none splashed into his eyes. "That doesn't really excuse it. We weren't designed to attack people, but we're still dangerous. Freddy managed to stay safe." She admitted.

The wolf stepped to the side, rummaging in the various bottles on the counter before taking a few out and handing them to Gregory. "Right, which one smells best?" She asked, giving Gregory a choice of three shampoos.

Camila sighed, as Luis got a notification on his fazwatch. They very rarely had time to actually talk, her son was always busy with some issue or another.

"That's..... odd." She heard him mutter. She raised an eyebrow. "Is something wrong?" She asked, mildly concerned.

"Mmm.... probably not. Monty went offline a little while ago. I thought he went into rest mode after his tantrum in the Doc's room, but Ness just let me know he's moving around." He replied.

Camila nodded "Right... you should check it out. But take one of the others with you. Chica would be best. After what young Gregory said about that virus, I would rather not take any chances." She said, glaring at him pointedly.

"Uuurgh, fine mooom." Luis groaned, not even hiding a smile as he sent Chica a message on his watch. "I need to talk to my lawyer about the paperwork, and we need Doc for any details regarding Gregory's medical state, so please don't interrupt him." She explained as he sent the message, waiting for Chica to arrive. "I don't think we'll have much reason to, but sure thing." Luis replied as Camila nodded before disconnecting.

-----------------------------------------

Roxanne had to admit, the kid didn't clean up too bad. Now the dirt was gone, his hair was a lighter brown than she had expected and the scent of rotten garbage now mainly just came from his clothing. (She had insisted on giving him some soap and a cloth to at least wipe himself down before they looked for some new clothes, letting him get the grime off himself. Chica was due to take him for a shower later but......garbage slime, yuck).

Roxanne led the way, surprising Gregory as she turned away from Roxy Raceway and took him instead towards Fazerblast. "I thought were were getting some clothes?" He asked quietly. He wasn't sure if he should say anything, what if they decided he wasn't worth the money. Heck, he didn't think he'd done anything to deserve any anyway.

"We are. It just happens that while my amazing Raceway is closed for an upgrade, the giftshop is off limits too. So we have to settle for second place with boy scout's shop instead." Roxy explained, stopping by the entrance. He was looking pretty tired already, probably thanks to how little sleep he got last night. She made a note to herself to ask moon for some of his candy to help Gregory sleep. Then again, after how Gregory and moon interacted... Doc was probably better. She tried to send a message, but only received the big *DO NOT DISTURB* message they automatically sent out when in a meeting. She sighed inwardly, but kept a smile on her face as Gregory scanned his watch with the guard bot, which cheered and moved to the side, allowing them access to the lift.

Roxy stood in one corner, trying to give Gregory as much space as she could, but even without a scan, she could see he was stressed about the close proximity, the boy almost darting out of the door as soon as it opened, before stopping and looking around.

Gregory had forgotten how much he enjoyed how Fazerblasts space theme in the gift shop looked, the boy staring around at the stars dotting the ceiling, the cool polished floors and the futuristic sounding theme as he spun slowly, taking in the view before Roxy cleared her throat.

"Trackstar, I need to scan you and get your measurements for your new clothes. Is it ok if I do that Gregory?" She asked, leaning down a little as the boy shrank back a bit. After a few second, he nodded, and her eyes turned blue as she scanned him.

She winced a little, spotting numerous injuries on the boy before she stood up, leaning back. She debated asking him for a second about them, and dismissed the idea, not wanting to worry him any further.

"Alright kid, wait here and I'll grab you an outfit." She said, letting him relax on the couch as she started looking through the selection. "Do you prefer red or blue?"

"Er....blue?" Gregory replied, trying to peer over and see what she was grabbing. "Hey! No peeking." The wolf teased, standing in front of her choices. Gregory rolled his eyes as Roxy turned back, grabbing a few things as the elevator dinged. She glanced back, spotting a familiar gator stepping out and looking around the room. "Monty, can it wait, we're a little busy."

"Hey kid...." The gator said stepping forwards and ignoring Roxy, making her huff and turn back to the clothes as Gregory looked up. "Oh, Hey Mon....." The greeting freezing on his lips as the gator charged forwards, grabbing the boy as the tried to get off the chair and yanking him back into the elevator. Gregory let out a terrified scream as Roxanne lunged for the door, the clothing she had chosen discarded as soon as she heard the boy yell in terror.

The elevator doors were almost closed when she got her fingers between them, yanking the door open. Gregory had frozen, curled up in a corner of the lift in a growing puddle of urine on the floor. She looked up, ready to yell at Monty when she caught sight of his eyes, lifeless and yet glowing an ominous red behind his sunglasses.

Threat Detected....

A fist swung at her face, the wolf letting out a yelp as she was thrown back across the room, her systems sparking as she tried to get up.

Threat Eliminated....

Her system couldn't handle the impact, and she caught a glimpse of the doors closing, Gregory's pleading face showing for a moment before her systems shut down.

Chapter 18

Roxanne's little talk with Gregory had been informative. Monty, who had heard the noise, had been listening in from his room. He'd been a little worried she might have caught him, but she rarely activated her eye enhancements unless she was looking for something.

Still, the fact the kid had said he was at least enjoying hanging out with him had calmed him a bit, even if he had to listen to Roxy's loser talk for about the 50th time this week.

Something about this felt weird. He'd been feeling funny ever since his angry outburst with the doc over the kid. Was it something in his programming acting up?

Of course not, you're just defective. He snarled. OK, yeah, that didn't feel like him. Something was wrong. That didn't feel like something he'd think in safe....mode....

Monty quickly reached for his arm, opening the small compartment. The small switch inside was still set on safe mode thankfully. Don't you just feel stupid now? What an idiot.

The gator narrowed his eyes, flicking the switch himself. He didn't trust anyone right now, especially not these intrusive thoughts. They felt wrong, like they weren't his own.

There was a click, and monty braced himself, but there was....nothing. he didn't feel any different at all. The gator breathed a sigh of relief, before flipping the switch to put him into safe mode again, before he froze, his programming going haywire and causing the gator to topple over onto the floor with a loud thud, his systems grinding to a halt before he shut down entirely.

---------------------------------------

Roxanne and Gregory had almost reached the door to the rehearsal hall when they heard the muffled sound, both looking around. Seeing nothing, Roxanne gave a shrug as the door slid open, Gregory trailing in behind her as they re-entered the rehearsal room.

Surprisingly, Camila was still on the screen, with Luis chatting calmly to her. "Well, she doesn't seem to have any serious side effects. Hopefully it'll be a non-issue." Camila continued, before Luis glanced over. "Oh, Roxy brought Gregory. Good timing you two." He smiled before heading back and taking a seat next to the stage.

Gregory instinctively shrank a little behind Roxanne as the woman's gaze fell on him. "Young man, I don't bite. I'm sorry for being rude earlier, but there are certain..... cuál es la palabra... mannerisms that I need to keep up. " She said with a sigh. Roxanne stepped to the side a bit, guiding Gregory forwards with a light hand on his back.

Camila leaned forwards, her eyes roaming over Gregory and making him want to hide, but he stood still. "I knew the others wouldn't put two and two together, but there was no way Freddy would be so far along if it wasn't the original. Thank you for bringing him back. I hope he took good care of you child."

Gregory glanced back at Roxanne, who just nodded at him before he looked back to Camila.

"Y...yes, he helped a lot." Gregory said, his voice high and his skin pale. "I'm... sorry for taking him, but I was scared and he said he'd look after me." He continued, feeling sick.

Camila glanced at Roxanne. "Roxy, can you get him a drink please? He's probably thinking I'm going to yell at him. Luis, we need some chairs if you please." She continued.

"Now then Gregory, I'm not going to be telling you off. I just need to find out from you what you saw that night is all." She explained as Gregory sat stiffly in the seat Luis brought over, before Roxanne and Luis sat either side of him.

--------------------------------------

It took a good half an hour of everyone just listening quietly as Gregory talked. He explained his sneaking in to find somewhere safe, how Vanessa had spotted him and given chase. How Freddy had guided him.

He explained his thoughts on Vanessa being Vanny, how the other animatronics had been controlled and attacked and that he'd had to break them to upgrade Freddy.

Finally he mentioned taking the elevator down, finding the old pizzeria and the man in the rabbit suit who had tried to control Freddy, as well as the large monster that seemed to have dragged the man away.

--------------------------------------------

Camila had been taking notes and typing as Gregory talked, while Roxanne hung her head, feeling guilty.

"Luis, what's your opinion on this?" Camila asked, tilting her head. It was certainly a strange story, but everything she knew matched up too well, and she was rather concerned at the implications.

"Well, the lower area is almost filled with concrete anyway due to the thought of it being a sinkhole, so we can't get any information down there. We already know about Vanessa, and we found parts of the band members in the locations he said he encountered them, as well as the fact Freddy had their parts. I'd say he's telling the truth." Luis admitted, as Camila put her hands to her face with a sigh.

A few seconds passed before she looked up. "How was he controlling Montgomery, Chica and Roxanne? They've had no issues since correct?" She asked, looking worried. "They've been in safe mode since that day, but we didn't detect any abnormalities." Luis said.

"Um, did you say you knew about Vanessa already?" Gregory interrupted. Camila glanced at Luis before nodding. "Let me explain." She said wearily. "Vanessa was a beta tester for a game that a side company of ours, Silver Parasol Games, was making to help change how people perceived the company. Luis was a good friend of hers and noticed that she had begun acting strangely."

Luis grunted, looking a bit embarrassed, but Camila continued. "It took a lot of digging, but we found out that they scanned some old hardware from some very old locations, and one piece had some kind of virus, that spread through the systems. Vanessa had been caught up in this and she seemed to be fine sometimes and act like someone else entirely others. So we took her to one side and put her through psychiatric evaluation. Due to her personality shifts, and because the company was responsible, placing her as a security guard away from others kept people safe till she could be looked over."

Luis rubbed his eyes for a moment, looking tired. "I worked with her before she went into the game. She was always the stern, but overall friendly girl you were hugged by in parts and services. I was the one who had her sent to the first therapist." He said, his arms crossed and his fingers gripping his shirt tight as he went silent.

" They found out something terrifying. Her mind had shattered into two distinct personalities. And right after we found that out, the therapist vanished. Dead to mechanical wounds." Camila continued. "Others would just vanish, and the company believed they had left of their own accord, but we knew it was tied together. Vanessa had and still has no clue about her Vanny personality, and as she's a victim, we want to help her too."

Gregory had stayed silent, listening to Camila talk about the woman who had chased him along with the animatronics. He glanced at Roxanne, who seemed more scared than terrifying right now. "So.... if Monty, Roxy and Chica were controlled, you think Vanessa might be to?" He asked, a little worried about what was being implied.

Camila nodded, her mouth tight. "I realize you probably blame her a lot for what happened. And you probably think we're being selfish. But my son cares a lot about Vanessa, and she's been a close part of our family since they hit it off a while back. So we want to keep her safe, and free her from whatever Vanny is."

Gregory was surprised to see Miss Camila was on the verge of tears, and glanced down at his scuffed shoes. His head ached from the lack of sleep, and he fiddled with the hem of his hoodie.

He didn't know why they were telling him all this. She had chased him across the pizzaplex and they wanted him to just.... forget it? "Why? Why are you protecting someone who tried to kill me? Is she more important to you than everyone who went missing? She's dangerous." He said, glaring at Camila on the screen.

The woman was surprised at the anger, but shook her head. "Vanessa isn't the one who attacked people, as I said, all the injuries were mechanical. She had no clue what was happening and was surprised whenever we had a new therapist arrive." Camila said calmly. "I'm not expecting you to get on with her, or stay around her. Just let us know if she starts acting different. Would that be OK?" The woman asked, almost pleading.

Gregory glanced to the side. He was....upset? But he didn't know who to be upset at. Camila and Luis were worrying about Vanessa, and Vanessa had no clue about Vanny so she was a victim too. It wasn't fair.

"Why are you telling me this. I'm not going to be here long. I get that Freddy can't last outside the pizzaplex so I'll leave as soon as he's fixed." He said, his sight wobbling slightly as he forced his feelings back down. He felt Roxanne try to reach around to hug him and shrugged it off. There was no point in getting attached to people.

"Gregory, when did we ever say we wanted you to leave?" Asked Luis, a little shocked at how easily the boy shut himself off. Roxanne and Camila glanced at each other, both worried. "Actually, that's something else we wanted to talk to you about. Freddy told me when I was working on him that you were living on the streets. " Luis said, as Gregory flinched.

"I wanted to ask you your opinion before we do anything. I know how much Freddy means to you, and while he can't exactly adopt you, I can as a proxy, so you can stay with him. Though it may take a while for it to go through." Luis admitted, scratching his cheek nervously. "I mean, it's totally your choice, but we were the reason you were able to be scared by Vanny, and we kind of want to make it up to you."

"Luis dear, you're rambling. Basically, we want to offer for you to join our family, however, you will be given a good deal of independence. You get a regular allowance, tutoring, medical care, and of course, time to spend with your new family." Camila interrupted, chuckling to herself at Luis' worry. We're already remodeling a new room for Freddy, and I'm sure you'd prefer to stay close to him, so we can alter some of the free space above into a small apartment."

Gregory was silent for a moment. "What's the catch? That's way to much to just give to a street kid like me without something in it for you."

Camila smiled. This kid was smart. "Well, there's a few things. Think of it partly as compensation for what happened. But you've barely been there a day and the slump all the band was in is already lifting, so I count that as a service. I'll be counting on you. They see so many children come through here, but none stay long enough to build up a relationship, until you and Freddy."

Gregory was thoughtful. "So....I'm kind of doing a job?" He asked. "That's a better deal than I'd get alone. Are you sure you want me here though?" He asked, confused.

Camila nodded. " I will need to speak to some lawyers, the adoption needs to be official, but yes. You are capable, intelligent and warm-hearted, and while I don't know why you don't see those qualities in yourself, you won't be left alone any more. That I promise."

Gregory slumped a little, and Luis noticed. "Hey, it's alright. We already discussed it, and it'll take a week before the paperwork goes through, so you have plenty of time to say no as well. You alright with that time to think?" The man said with a friendly grin, running his hand through his curled hair.

The boy glanced at Roxanne, who looked embarrassed and glanced away. "Um, alright. I don't really know what's expected of me though." He admitted.

Camila glanced at Luis. "We need to start filling in forms, but for now, Roxanne dear, can you take Gregory to get some new clothing? Use my account, and let him choose a few things if he wants them." She said, a light smile playing across her face. Roxanne raised an eyebrow, realizing just why she was the one on babysitting duty.

"Alright kid, let's get you dressed up in something comfortable, sound good?" She said, standing up and stretching. "I'll come find you in about an hour, alright Greg?" Luis said as the boy got up to follow the wolf.

As the two left, Luis and Camila both breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness. I honestly thought he'd say no." Camila said, rubbing her temples. As she relaxed, another screen turned back on, revealing Jacob Emily with a large grin on his face, as Camila went a little pale.

"Well I knew you were planning something interesting, I certainly didn't think it would be this Cammy. " The man chuckled. "I hope you know I'm volunteering to be godfather."

Camila groaned. "You've been here the whole time, haven't you Jacob?"

"Not my fault you didn't check everyone left the call before talking about family, but congratulations." He laughed as Luis groaned.

@avianic surprised a group of us in the gregaverse discord with some images of our various gregorys from our stories.

In my case, this is my gregory from my Security Breach: Aftermath story. If you want to see the whole collection, I suggest you check out her blog, as well as those for:

I managed to injure myself at work (I'm alright lol, I checked with another doctor and everything). Avia decided to ensure I stayed well rested and wrapped up and sent me a doodle as a surprise.

Chapter 17

Bonnie shifted awkwardly in the chair. When he'd told Chica he would tell her what happened to him when Freddy was back, he'd assumed the bear was long gone and he'd not have to say anything.

Then when Freddy had arrived back, and was being fixed, he assumed she had forgotten. But she always was smarter than most people gave her credit for. He always admired her for that.

So....Viva found an egg in the space between fnaf AUs and left it in the gregaverse room in a pile of blankets till she could figure out what to do with it. Aftermath and Kiwii both stumbled onto it and ended up sleeping against it, resulting in it hatching into a baby Monty, or Monmon as the Gregorys have taken to calling him.

Kiwii ( @notsodailycake ) is called "Mom" by him, while Aftermath is his Da.

Chapter 5

The sea breeze made the trees rustle as the group chatted, the waves lapping at the nearby sand making a relaxing backdrop to the hubbub as a lone seagull eyed the group, eager to swoop in if food was brought out.

RayB's question of what the first few people had found was what prompted Aftermath to finally reply, having been silent when Viva was here. The bags under his eyes enough to tell the others he had little sleep.

"Well, I'm pretty sure myself and slumber were here first." He said as D and T slapped each other to try see if they were dreaming, prompting a few Gregory's to move away from them. "....anyway, all I found out is this island is just super small. You can see the ocean on the other side just through those trees." He mentioned, pointing a thumb behind him.

Slumber piped up. "Yeah, I checked out foxy's ship. Or at least I think its foxy's. Its called Foxy's Booty." Slumber explained, pointing to the crooked nameplate above the door as a few of the Gregorys chuckled at the name. "It's got some cool stuff inside, like a hook and a pirate coat, so it might have some useful stuff inside, but myself and beacon didn't get much of a chance to explore before everyone else arrived." Slumber explained, glad to be able to take his mind off of things.

Rbay looked over the ship. It wasn't particularly big, but it was clear it had been here for a while, with several holes in the Hull. The door in the side looked like it had probably been used to haul cargo inside at a port. He sighed.

"OK... we should all eat and then try figure out if there's anything we can use around here. Aftermath, can you share your supplies?" The younger Gregory nodded, though he looked a bit apprehensive. "Once everyone has eaten, we should split into two groups. One group will explore the ship and look for anything useful. The other should take a walk along the beach and see if anything has washed up." He explained as cans of fizzy faz were quickly opened and drunk.

Nightmare had been silent till now but piped up. "Well... I got my flashlight. Wouldn't it be better if I helped explore the ship?" He asked, surprising Rbay. "That'd be good, we need to allocate who goes where by items and skills really."

D&T stopped whispering to each other to interrupt. "What about some of us setting up a camp?" Asked D, "If someone gets hurt, we need to know where we can heal up."

Rbay nodded, glancing up at the sky. The sun was pretty high, but having somewhere to rest was a good idea. "Alright. D, T, you two help in camp with..... Beacon and Puppet." Rbay continued.

HiWfi interrupted. "Hey, I'm all up for going on the explore team, but why are you taking charge? I can lead too you know." He asked with a frown. Rbay had been expecting this, he knew how quickly he'd gotten annoyed when he was their age. "Perfect. You feel like leading the exploration team?" He asked, as HiWfi looked happy for a moment, then tried to hide it. "I mean....sure, no sweat." He replied, his eyes glinting.

Aftermath raised his hand. "So.... slumber and beacon should probably keep checking the ship as they already explored a bit. I'd like to stay in the camp group as I'm in charge of the food I guess. Oh, and Uf! Would be best to be at camp with their communications watch." Aftermath said, stifling a yawn.

BwL! had tilted his head slightly as he pondered his options. "I'd like to volunteer for exploring. If we find anything heavy, I'm able to assist in bringing it back." They reasoned, which made Rbay nod.

"While I do agree with you about Slumber, Beacon and yourself Aftermath, Uf! Should be exploration so they can call for help if something goes wrong. Also, the ability to locate useful items is better for that." Rbay explained, causing the group to talk amongst themselves.
