Summary
     in which alec ryder cares more about his mechanical brainchild than
     either of his real ones.
Notes
     cooper's adopted.
Alec Ryder, after having a fruitless unproductive day, was watching his
sleeping wife after he tucked her into bed (she'd insisted she could keep
working when she had been pale and swaying on her feet and he wasn't going to
have that) when he heard the crash. It was coming from his study, where SAM’s
prototype was resting. He ran.
The twins (they weren't twins, he thought irritably, Thea just wouldn't agree
to call her adopted brother anything else) were standing over - yes. Circuit
board and wires and glass. He took a deep breath to try and control the wave of
rage but the image of his frozen children still blurred in front of him.
Thea spoke first, although Cooper was so soon after their words ran together.
“It was me, I did it -” “Cooper had nothing to do with -”
He breathed out, “Shut up,” and was dimly gratified to see them both clamp
their mouths shut and stand to attention, eyes forward but flicking towards
him. He was still staring at SAM on the ground - that was two years of work and
who knows how much of it could be recovered - two years Ellen couldn't get back
-
His hands balled into fists and he briefly thought about punching the wall -
but that might wake Ellen. He snapped in a tight low voice, “Bend over the
couch. Don't make a single sound, or you'll wake your sick mother, and none of
us want that.”
Alec knelt to pick up SAM’s fragments, gently scooping them into a pile on his
desk. Saw out of the corner of his eye Cooper turning immediately and
obediently, while Thea glared at him, her own hands in fists, before following
her brother. He thought bitterly, not even her brother; more of a pet they
couldn't convince her to get rid of. Ellen couldn't have borne another child.
She was so weak -
He undid his belt deliberately and watched with satisfaction as the children
flinched at the sound of the buckle. He grabbed the other end, folding it in
half. Ellen was too soft on them. He would teach them discipline. “Cooper.”
“Yes, sir.” His voice was full of tears and he was shaking. Pathetic, how a
creature like this had ruined his life’s work. Alec looked at SAM’s remains and
placed the looped belt on Cooper's back, a threat and a promise.
“Tell me why I'm building SAM.”
Cooper pressed his face into the cushion and started to speak, muffled. Alec
tapped the belt on his neck and Coop raised his head, shoulders stiff and
trembling under the leather. “To save our mother.”
His self control cracked and before he could stop himself he hissed, “Not your
mother. We weren't the ones who wanted you.”
Cooper went utterly still while Thea whipped her head up, face full of rage. He
pointed the belt at her and said calmly, “Talk and he gets another strike for
each word out of your mouth.” He wasn't calm, but something inside him quieted
- or bared its teeth in victory - as Thea stared at him with honest hate and
shut her mouth. She looked too much like Ellen and the sight of that hate
disconcerted him enough that he allowed her to deliberately reach for Cooper’s
hand. That didn't matter; let Cooper crush her fingers.
Alec tightened his grip on the belt. Something tight in his chest bayed for
vengeance. The children, wearing Ellen down, breaking what was meant to save
her - they were taking Ellen’s life from her. He swung the belt down across
Cooper’s shoulders with a crack. The only sound Cooper made that time was a
small shocked inhale. The next one, laid lower down his back, earned a small
sob and the third one across his buttocks resulted in an anguished cry muffled
into his and Thea's joined hands. Cooper twisted in pain and Alec barked,
“Don't move. Do you understand why you're being punished?”
A ragged breath and a wet sniffle, and then softly, “Yes.” Alec tapped his hip
with the belt and Cooper's voice rose, panicked. “- Sir! Yes sir.”
“Do you think it's undeserved?”
“N-no sir!”
Cooper was trying to stop full body shudders which undoubtedly would be silent,
unbreathing sobs if Alec could see his face. He kept the belt resting gently
against Cooper's hip and thigh and watched in a kind of detached trance how he
shifted trying to keep it from touching him and discovered he was getting hard.
Understandable, his rational mind told himself. It'd been a long time since
Ellen had been truly interested, much less strong enough; the adrenaline of a
stressful situation, violence - discipline. It was perfectly reasonable to get
an erection while belting his adopted twelve year old son.
He looked up slowly along Cooper's body and met Thea's furious gaze. Fury
lanced through him too, ending in his groin. She'd never understand what Alec
was doing for her mother; she couldn't appreciate it. And she had the nerve to
judge him and find him wanting for what he was doing? They'd never understand.
He realized halfway through the swing that it was going to be far harder than
he'd intended. He did not pull the hit as it came down across Cooper's ass
again, as close to the same spot as Alec could get. Cooper screamed into the
cushion and sagged, slumping into Thea still kneeling bent over the couch. She
grabbed him (breaking ranks, he reminded himself) and started to snarl
something (disrespectful) but Cooper's hand shot out to clench on her shoulder
and she fell quiet again, holding him gently around his waist. He felt almost
disappointed, that she hadn't given him more, and that Cooper was pulling
himself back mostly upright, pressing his hand to Thea's cheek as he went. He
had to have broken the skin - there was something darker spotting the fabric of
Cooper's school uniform, and his face was carefully blank though taut and
covered in tears.
Alec hissed between his teeth and said, not questioning his instinct, “Take off
your uniform before you ruin it.”
Cooper didn't look at him. Pushed himself gingerly off the couch to his knees.
He reached for his pants. Alec said, controlling his breathing so it was only a
touch faster than usual, “All of it.”
Cooper hiccupped a sob and then Thea was standing between them, lips lifted in
a wordless snarl and, he noted with a small flash of pride, balancing on the
balls of her feet, ready. He looked down at her, hand tightening on his belt
before Cooper again grabbed at her fist. He was swaying on his feet and
whispered something in her ear, eyes flicking towards Alec as he finished
whatever he was saying with a trembling, barely audible “Please?” Alec watched
with interest as Thea hesitated, glaring at him still, until Cooper pressed his
forehead into her shoulder and began unbuttoning his shirt stiffly.
Alec said softly and with calculated tenderness, “Good boy,” and Cooper melted,
hands slowing as he blushed into Thea's shirt. He'd never amount to anything,
being that spineless. Alec motioned at Thea to move back into position and she
reluctantly did. She left Cooper unsteadily fumbling with his pants before
kneeling down beside her again with a small whimper of pain.
Angry red welts tracked across his shoulder blades and waist, but the ones
across his ass were bleeding slowly at the edges, dripping down skinny hips and
thighs. Alec narrowed his eyes. There was more. Faint bruises in the shape of
fingers where his neck met his shoulders, like someone else had grabbed him
there, and something that could only be a hickey higher up his neck, where the
collar of his shirt had hidden it. He touched a finger to the hickey and
noticed how Cooper immediately went rigid, stopped breathing. “Where did you
get this, Cooper.”
He swallowed and the hickey shifted with the movement of his throat. Slowly
said, “S-school. Sir.”
“You've been messing around at school. Kissing schoolmates? Christ. Why would
you think that was acceptable? We didn't raise a whore.” Alec had been too lax
with them, and the lack of discipline was showing. He'd have to make up for it.
Alec quietly, quickly undid his own pants just enough to pull himself out.
Dropped the belt to simultaneous flinches from the twins, and then dropped to
his knees behind Cooper. He raised the hand closest to the worst of the
bleeding and brought it down hard, to another muffled scream. Spread Cooper's
ass with his other hand, lined himself up and pulled Cooper back onto his cock.
Cooper must have run out of breath because he didn't scream, just made an
almost inaudible whine. He locked up, shuddering and trying to grab at the
couch to pull himself back. Alec hadn't made it much further than the tip so he
let Cooper crawl forward, and then pulled hard, slamming home. He groaned at
the feel of being buried deep in the hot viselike grip of his son's ass, the
blood on Cooper's hip hot under his fingers. Something blurred in his
peripheral vision and he instinctively shoved down with his biotics before
looking to see Thea gasping in shock, straining against the sudden increase in
gravity. He waited for her to meet his eyes before pulling out and slowly
pushing back in. Her eyes fell to track the movement of Alec's hips and they
watered with tears when Cooper broke what little self control he had left and
began to sob in earnest.
Still buried in Cooper's ass, Alec cuffed the back of his head. “Shut up.” He
didn't stop crying and Alec reached forward to clamp a hand over his face. His
mouth and jaw were wet with tears. Alec could feel his breath quicken on his
fingers as he withdrew, and turn into desperate gasps as he drove home again.
He looked down at the tiny frame beneath him, all skin and bones and now some
bruising, and after a second's deliberation shoved Cooper's shoulders down with
his other hand so that he had to arch, pressing back into Alec's hips and
drawing a small whimper.
Alec shifted his knees to spread Cooper's legs a little wider and began to set
a bruising pace. Cooper shuddered under the assault and made short muffled
moans of pain every time Alec thrust back in, the sound bringing him
embarrassingly close to coming in just a few minutes. He paused for a second,
breathing hard, and realized he'd been feeling something flickering against
his… biotics? Looked over at Thea and saw her surrounded in a very small biotic
field of her own, barely an inch off her skin. She'd crawled just close enough
to draw back a fist. Alec lazily crushed her flat to the floor again.
“Well,” he said. “Fancy that. You can't possibly be allowed to go to school
anymore, not without any biotic training.” The twins both breathed out “No,” at
the same time. Cooper suddenly arched, tried to shove Alec's hand off his
mouth, other hand clawing at Alec's thigh. He easily grabbed both wrists and
pulled one up behind Cooper's back, forcing him back down into the couch.
He spoke into the cushion, “You can't! I go -”
“- where he goes!”
Alec thrust hard into Cooper again. “Don't try that completing each other's
sentences bullshit with me. You're not even related.” He was writhing now,
apparently trying to throw Alec off but mostly tightening around his cock in a
very interesting manner. Alec wavered, teetering on an edge, and with a few
more unsteady thrusts came deep inside Cooper with a ragged exhale.
He came back to himself a minute later, panting and almost slumped over Cooper,
who wasn't crying anymore so much as gasping wetly and staring blankly at the
far wall. He finally paid attention to what Thea was saying too: “Ree, it'll be
okay - you hurt him, he's bleeding - all over, you hurt him -”F
Alec pulled out slowly, and yes - the cum dripping down Cooper's thigh was pink
tinged and following a small crimson trail. He didn't let go of Cooper until he
was sure he could stand, and then he backed up into his armchair. Cooper didn't
move except to raise a hand to his mouth and bite his hand to keep from making
a sound.
Alec leaned back and sighed. “Cooper, come here.” It took three tries for him
to stand, and when he did he whimpered as he walked unsteadily towards Alec.
Sitting down, Alec was at eye level with Cooper, whose hair he grabbed and
shoved him back down to his knees. “Clean up your mess. And Thea, shut up if
you don't want me to do much worse to you both.”
The twins were mute, Thea starting to shake under the force holding her down.
Cooper didn't look at him, raised his hands to Alec's cock. “No. With your
mouth.” Mute horror filled his eyes but he lowered his hands, leaned forward
and paused. Alec clicked his tongue and said impatiently, “Just open your
mouth. Wider. If I feel teeth you both get more lashes.” Maneuvered Cooper's
mouth down to surround his softening cock.
He made a soft gagging sound and Alec tightened his hand in his hair. “Don't.
And use your tongue.” There was a long pause with Cooper breathing shallowly
around his cock, then the tentative swipe of a tongue. Alec watched him for
awhile, stroked a thumb over Cooper's cheek. “Good.” Cooper sighed, eyes
closing, and redoubled his efforts.
Alec looked up and saw Thea's eyes fixed on them. Her bone structure was the
same as Ellen’s, the curve of her nose. Their eyes were the same, but she had
his eye color. He found that warmth was stirring in him again as he looked at a
small copy of Ellen scared and near tears on the floor, desire for her
resurfacing as quick when they first met. She was still fighting against him,
he could tell, but weaker now. Perhaps she'd used up her strength.
“You'll need training, Thea, unless you want to accidentally splatter Cooper
across the ceiling.” There wasn't any way she could do that, but she knew he
could. Making her afraid of herself would keep her under control. He got harder
as her eyes opened wide, terrified. Cooper shifted, eyes flicking between Alec
and Thea as he tried to keep up with Alec's hardening cock. Alec shoved him off
and said, “Stay where you are.”
Thea firmed her trembling mouth as he walked to her, trying to push herself up.
Alec let her get to her hands and knees before trapping her there and just
looking for a moment. Her resemblance to Ellen had been a sore point for him,
watching her grow up healthy while Ellen wasted away, but now the resentment
was mixed with desire. She deserved this, he told himself as he knelt behind
her and pulled her backwards into his lap. If she was so insistent on replacing
Ellen, it was just that she do so here too.
He kept her arms pinned to her sides and threaded his hand into the hair at the
nape of her neck and pulled her head back to expose her neck. She was
hyperventilating, arching and trying not to touch him. He ran his other hand up
the line of her throat to close lightly around it. Thea gasped and made a
terrified moan that made his cock twitch against her. He murmured into her ear,
“Are you afraid of me, Ellen?”
Thea looked at him, still twisting in his grasp. She did look exactly like
Ellen. An Ellen that he could tell exactly how he felt. He tightened his hand
slightly around her throat and trailed the other down her chest. “You shouldn't
have gotten sick, Ellen. You're mine. I won't let you go.” Tugged the shirt of
her uniform out of where it was tucked into her skirt and pressed his fingers
into her belly, dragged it up to feel the edges of a bra. Alec ground his palm
into an almost nonexistent breast to a protesting sound and a jerk from Thea.
He adjusted his hand to press into her windpipe and was gratified to hear her
abruptly cut off. “You can't say no to me anymore.” She fought for air as he
lowered his hand to her thigh, finding the edge of her stockings -
Cooper, who had been kneeling before them with his hands tight in fists, face
agonized, lunged towards the side of the study where Alec kept his firearms.
Alec wrapped him in a biotic field and dragged him back, pushed him hard
against the wall facing them without moving his hands from where they were.
Thea was squirming now too and he tightened both his holds on her throat and
arms, cut off her air completely for a second. “You know those aren't loaded,
Cooper? Brave of you both to try to protect each other but you can't win.”
“Please! She didn't do it -” Alec let her gasp a breath before choking her
again. Slipped his hand up further and retrieved a folding knife clipped to her
sock. Cooper must have realized he'd found it because he fell quiet, face a
study in misery.
“Contraband,” Alec said, “and I haven't even taught you how to use these.” He
flicked it open and Thea lurched back into him, away from it. He could feel her
pulse pounding irregularly, choked off cries dying before being uttered. “Don't
carry weapons you're afraid of. Here -”
He swept the knife up to lay against the lowest button of her blouse. He'd done
it carefully, but she didn't know that. He felt her try to scream under his
hand, heard Cooper cry her name and struggle against his biotic bonds. It was
all going straight to his groin, making him feel like a teenager again. He
ground his hips against Thea and efficiently cut the buttons off her shirt,
yanking it down to tangle on her arms. Slid his hand down to bunch her skirt up
in his hands and then stopped. Tracked faint fingerprint-shaped bruises where
her neck met her shoulder, and a trail of yellowing hickies down her chest.
Looked across the room at Cooper, who was very flushed and staring back at them
with a carefully blank face.
“You've been messing around with each other,” Alec stated.
It was confirmed when Thea whispered and suddenly tried to wriggle out of his
grasp again, when Cooper's eyes briefly fell before he yanked them back up and
said in a creditably sincere voice, “What? No -”
Alec loosened his hold on her throat slightly and brought the knife up to it
too. Said in a strained voice, “You shouldn't lie to the man with the knife.
Ellen, did you fuck the gutter trash you brought home?” She was his and someone
else had touched her, tainted her -
He shook Thea. “Nothing to say? Did he fuck your whore cunt, Ellen -” She
sobbed out a no. He growled, frustrated, in her ear and let go of her throat to
shove her skirt out of the way. Slipped the knife between her panties and her
skin none too carefully and cut them off.
Thea cried out when the blade dug into her skin and Cooper echoed her, pleading
and begging. “She's Thea, please stop, it was me punish me -”
Alec swung the knife back up and looked Cooper in the eyes. Said, “I don't want
to hear anything from either of you, or I will use this knife.” Cooper bit his
lip hard and he started to shake with tears again, while Thea went stiff and
stiffer as Alec pushed himself slowly inside her ass, slicked up by cum and
Cooper's spit. He yanked her down, forcing her to slide down his cock until he
was seated all the way inside her.
“Look what you do to me, Ellen.” One hand held the knife flush to her belly and
the other pushed her back up off him and pulled her back down. She was making
small choked off whimpers, shoulders shaking, muscles locked and resisting and
tight. He groaned in her ear as he slowly pushed her off his cock. He let go
when just his tip remained inside her and let gravity drop her.
She cried out and managed to stop herself halfway down, thighs trembling as she
fought just to stay still. He turned the blade slightly to dig into her stomach
below her ribs. “Down.”
Thea shook, tight around his cock and cutting herself on the knife. Spread her
legs slightly, slipped downward an inch and froze again, whimper bubbling in
her throat. He sighed and twisted the knife, scraping against her skin. She
gasped please and he snapped, “You had orders.”
It took more coaxing and whispered threats in her ear before she was setting a
stuttering jerky pace. She wasn't taking all of him but it was enough to watch
her attempt to ride him in her school uniform, braids swinging, training bra
still on. He pressed his hand flat against her stomach and thought he could
feel himself move inside her. Alec thrust into her as she started to lower
herself and swore he felt the jolt of his cock under his palm as Thea hitched a
sob.
Alec dropped the knife and grabbed her hips, dragging her along his cock. He
panted into her shoulder as he worked her, grinding her against him to make her
whimper and squeeze him tight. He reached up to clutch Thea's small breast,
using it as a handhold to drive deeper into her ass. Heat traced his veins as
he yanked her head back, exposing her terrified face. Fresh tears rolled down
her cheeks as she stared up at him. He came, fixed on the sight of this
miniature Ellen sobbing.
Alec was breathing hard, and unraveled his biotics from the twins. Cooper
slumped down against the wall, then over on his side. Thea didn't move,
quivering in Alec's lap. He caught his breath and shoved her off him, sending
her sprawling onto the floor where she curled in on herself. Got unsteadily to
his feet and observed the twins mirroring each other on the floor, Cooper
trying to push himself to hands and knees.
“I don't need to tell you about discretion.” Thea didn't look at him, but
Cooper nodded, not meeting Alec's eyes. “You're banned from this room. Get
out.” Alec tucked himself away and picked up SAM’s remains, mind turned to
fixing his prize, ignoring his children as they picked each other up and limped
out.
