#elliot prototype

So, my idea for this is that Poppy doesn't remember who she was before being turned into a toy, but Elliot still has all of his memories.

Sharp metal hand reaching for very fragile pericline doll. What could possibly go wrong?

Joking aside, I've had some comic ideas bouncing around in my head for Prototype Elliot, so I want to try drawing them. Wish me luck that I don't loose inspiration XD

I've been writing little script ideas for Elliot as the Prototype. I figured I would share this one, since it got a bit long, and I don't know if I will draw it. Please keep in mind that I don't do extensive research on the canon lore when I write ideas, I just like coming up with my own stuff, since that's the joy of making a new au. You get to change whatever you want.

For context: Harley is holding a grudge against Elliot for removing him from the Young Geniuses Program, and feels like he threw him away. I also think it would be interesting if Harley was the one who came up with the idea for the wrongsideoutimals and Yarnaby.

Script:

Elliot: *looking at new toys plans while Harley performs “surgery” on him* “...the wrongsideoutimals. One of your ideas, I’m sure.”

Harley: “Is the idea not appealing to you?”

Elliot: “It’s certainly an… interesting idea, but the implications are… not quite kid friendly”

Harley: “I would’ve enjoyed it when I was a child.”

Elliot: *he smirks at him* “Yes, but you were not like all children, Harley.” *he taps Harley’s glasses playfully*

Harley: *annoyed* “If you don’t want me to make a painful mistake, I suggest you stop messing with me.”

Elliot: “Right, don’t mess with the doctor when he’s in the middle of your ‘surgery’” *he goes back to looking at the new toy ideas.*

Elliot: “Hmm, this is a cute one.” *turns the page* “Oh… it’s face splits vertically down the middle, revealing sharp teeth…”

Harley: “Are you going to give negative opinions about all of my ideas?”

Elliot: “No, I like the designs. You just have a habit of adding hidden ‘weaponry’ in them.”

Harley: “Of course I give them weaponry. How else will they defend themselves if they need to.”

Elliot: *looks at Harley with concern* “...do you… feel like you need to defend yourself often?”

Harley: “…”

Elliot: “… you never did tell me how your childhood was before joining the YGP.”

Harley: “And I’d like to keep it that way.”

Elliot: “So… not good, then.”

Harley: “What orphan ever comes from a good place?”

Elliot: “A fair point, I suppose…”

Elliot: “… are you… happy?”

Harley: “Is now really the time to analyze my psyche while my hands are in your guts?”

Elliot: “I suppose it’s my way of coping, checking if you’re doing alright.”

Harley: “…”

Elliot: “… I never meant to hurt you, you kn- ACK!” *he’s cut off as Harley yanks something out of his spine.*

Harley: “Ah, so this is what was jammed in your vertebrae. A tiny shard of metal.”

Elliot: “oooh, I wonder how that got there~” *he says through gritted teeth, clearly in pain.*

Harley: “Well, it’s out now. You should be able to move your spine more comfortably now, so I’ll just sew you back up, and we’ll be done with this.”

Elliot: “Goody~” *he says a bit annoyed*

Elliot: “… I truly thought that I was doing what was best for you, when I sent you away.”

Harley: “…”

Elliot: “I… didn’t want you to become a monster, like what I was turning into.”

Harley: “Well, it seems you failed at preventing that, but the difference is, I’m better than you.”

Harley: “I was able to do what you did, but perfect. Look at you. You’re practically the same as you were when you were alive.”

Elliot: *looks away sadly*

Harley: “As annoying as that may be.” *he mutters*

Elliot: “Pff- AHAHAHA!” *he looks at Harley fondly after laughing, reaching to his head.*

Harley: *he flinches and glares as Elliot reaches for him, making the other pause. But he doesn’t flinch again when Elliot continues.*

Elliot: *he brushes a stray hair back into place, letting his hand linger on top of Harley’s head.* “My boy… You haven’t changed at all.”

Harley: “… Well!” *he cuts the loose thread as he finishes sewing* “You’re all closed up, so I’ll be off. I trust you can right your own clothes.”

Elliot: *he watches him leave, looking like he wants to say something else, but doesn’t stop Harley.*

Elliot: *he flops his head back onto the pillow once the door is closed, letting out a long, tired sigh.*

End

Kickin made a mistake.

Little idea I had for Elliot as the Prototype au. I feel like Harley would be a little more willing to help Elliot in this au, since Elliot thought of him as his son and would likely still treat him this way even after being turned into a toy. Yes, he wouldn't like that Harley experimented on him, but I don't think he could bring himself to stop caring about him, especially when Harley meets the same fate. As a result, Harley helps with keeping an eye on Poppy (even though she annoys him).
