My Own Science (Dr Stone Senku x reader)

Bloody and interested

After shouting your joy in celebration, you, Senku and your friends gathered in Chrome's shed for a strategy meeting. Gen staid outside because Gen wasn't part of the Kingdom of Science and also he wasn't your friend.

"So then this Tsukasa-person is a bad guy?" Suika asked after you and Senku explained the situation.
"Yes," Kohaku nodded. "he's the one who killed Senku."
"Heh, I'm not dead though." he smiled.
"But we can't allow him to kill Senku twice." Chrome added.
"I told you, I'm not dead."
"And that's why we need to defeat him." you said with a big smile. "To avenge Senku's death."
"Oh my god." he groaned and rubbed his eyes while you laughed.

"So if Gen is one of his friends..." Suika continued. "Then that means Gen is a bad guy too right?!" she paused. "But hang on... Gen saved everyone from Magma didn't he? Then is he a bad guy?"
"Neither of those actually." you sighed.
"He's just a superficial opportunist through and through." Kohaku folded her arms.
"Whether he's good or bad," Senku said. "we have no choice but to recruit him in the Kingdom of Science, in order to have him deliver the fake information of my death to Tsukasa. That is the only way we can attain victory."
Chrome suddenly stood up and walked to the doorway. Leaning over to look at Gen.

"Oi! You saw it too didn't you?! That crazy insane light of science! Whoever in gonna win among Tsukasa and Senku, does that really matter?! It's fricking interesting!" he smiled. "Without a doubt, the Kingdom of Science is gonna be insane!"
A moment of silence passed before you heard Gen speak.

"The passion of a young man sure burns hot~! But unfortunately, mine does not Chrome. As the world's most superficial man, the only thing I look after are my own interests."
You sighed again as Senku tried to stop Kohaku from going after him.
"Do you think he'll join us?" Chrome asked, sitting back down.
"Honestly? Yeah, I think so." you said. "If we picked his interest with iron, we surely got his attention with electricity."

Suddenly you heard a loud crashing noise.
"What was that?!" Kohaku prepared her weapons.

Not wasting any time, the five of you ran out searching for the source of that sound. As soon as you saw a pool of red liquid, your blood went cold. You grabbed Suika's wrist and pulled her close to you, pressed her head against your chest.
"Don't look!"
"What's going on?!"

You didn't respond, pale as a sheet. You were shook to the core as you saw Gen's body laying on the ground. His face was beaten and bleeding. A spear was piercing his chest into a bloody mess. He wasn't moving.

"Are-Are you alright Gen?!" Chrome kneeled down by his side.
"He's gone..." Kohaku looked down at him. "Just look at him. He must've died instantly. Who would've done this...?"
You turned your head away from this sickening scene. It felt like a punch to the stomach. Then, you felt a hand gently placed on your shaky shoulder, lightly squeezing as if to comfort you. You looked up to see Senku.
"Wait!"

He walked over to Gen's body and removed the spear. The gushing sound it made made you and Suika flinch. Senku opened his shirt and searched for something inside. He got some kind of little bag out. He sniffed it.
"It's a bag full of resin's juice." he said. "It protected him."
You let out a long sigh of relief before letting go of the little girl. You staid on the ground to calm your fast beating heart as Chrome and her looked at the blood bags.

"He's got them all over his body!" Suika exclaimed.
"These are crazy!" Chrome looked closely at one of them. "From the moment he entered the village, he was prepared for the worst! And he went all out protecting himself with these!"
Senku chuckled.
"Not bad at all!"
As you listened, you stood up and walked over to Gen. You didn't realize it, but you felt a new found respect for the young man.
"He's still in bad shape though." you said. "We gotta tend to him fast."
