but you were such a super guy // 'til the second you get a whiff of me // we're like a wishing well and a bolt of electricity // but we can still support each other // all we gotta do's avoid each other

nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key

- Walter was brainwashed by Millennium to betray Hellsing. 

- Alucard was able to brake the brainwashing. So he didn’t drink the blood of those dead in Landon and of Schroedinger.. yet. But, Walter had regressed to a child. 

- Alucard told Walter to rest. After making sure Walter was safe, the vampire planned to enter the Deus Ex Machina. But, the Major had taunted Alucard into a rage, thus he begun to drink the dead. 

-  Walter noticed the blood moving and realized what was happening. He tired to worn Alucard of Schroedinger, but he was too weak and couldn’t yell out. Alucard ended disappearing. 

- Before he disappeared, Alucard’s coffin had come and scooped Walter into the interior. Alucard comforted Walter and told him that his coffin will support his unstable body until something can be done to help stabilized it. He made Integra and Seras promise him to find a way to help Walter. 

- The Major and Doc did die that day as well.   

Integra, Anderson and Walter: *exist*

Walter character study for sure! Probably something set in the Dawn era, maybe after Walter and Alucard come back from the war, and the adjustment period to like domestic life. I think Walter would chafe really bad at having to transition to primarily keeping house for Arthur. He’d probably be really jealous of Alucard going out on missions regularly. And also jealous of the Arthur/Alucard dynamic and Alucard’s single minded devotion, though he wouldn’t acknowledge it as such. When they were out on the field Alucard only paid attention to him, now he’s (in his own perception anyway) basically an afterthought.

The meat of the fic would probably be him taking it upon himself to hunt a vampire without officially being assigned to it. Like he’s been noticing deaths in the paper or whatever and Hellsing has been struggling to get through all the bureaucratic and political red tape to get involved yet. Like there’s probably been local government pushback against their involvement. The vampire’s hunting ground would *obviously* be like a gay bar or nightclub to highlight Walter’s prickly, uninterrogated feelings mentioned above. The redshirt target vampire will obviously come onto him, etc.

He’d probably handle taking the vampire out really well. His entire thing is being a master vampire hunter, it’s his life purpose, and such. So he’s probably really competent at it and initially really caught up in that high.

But then he notices there’s a human witness. And that would be bad for him and complicated for Hellsing. So he starts chasing the witness down without much thought for what he’s going to do.

Alucard has ABSOLUTELY been watching, and finds this entire thing hilarious. And when it looks like the witness is getting away, he stops them with all the usual eldritch vampire bells and whistles. Eyes. Shadows. Scary ghouls. All that.

Once Walter catches up he’s like alright now what? What was the plan here? (Walter did not have a plan) He does his usual taunting schtick, like “What was the point of this? Were you trying to prove yourself?” And he also of course monologues about how he could gruesomely kill the human. “I could shatter bones, and rend flesh, and I would take relish in it because I am a vampire after all. But what would you tell Arthur? What will he think of killing an innocent?” (He’d find it funny but also he would get mad lol)

Walter has mostly just been feeling his blood pressure riding steadily through this. He doesn’t have the patience for Alucard’s bullshit and likely doesn’t indulge it. The poor human is also probably very freaked out and Alucard’s like “Well, what now, Walter?”

And Walter’s like “I wasn’t planning on this, I don’t know!”

And Alucard’s like “You must plan for all eventualities before disobeying our master’s orders.”

“He isn’t my master.”

“Oh? My mistake.”

Walter hates that!

Anyway after all the fuss, Alucard just wipes the witness’s memory of ever having seen them and they go home and don’t talk about it. Arthur hears later that the vampire problem resolved itself— Walter probably has to read this news out to him while serving tea or something. And Arthur’s just like oh nice and doesn’t think any further on it.
