It's a Thing (A/B/O AU)
Almost no one in the base were an Omega. Snake didn't think that they were weak, some of his friends were Omegas are were some of the strongest people he knew. It was because of him knowing them, that he knows when Omegas go into heat, it can fuck up a lot of things.
He's had everyone's 'second gender', as it was called, written in a file. He had their heat and rut schedules written out and was prepared for it.
The regular faces he saw had their information close at hand. Russ was a Beta and mated to Giovanni. Giovanni was reluctant because he was an Alpha and was being, in short, 'mated', by an underling. Rave was a bBeta too, but he was closer to Alpha. Riot, his mate, was an Omega. Which he knew for a long time because he was taken advantage of by Luck numerous times. Vinny and Tony were surprisingly both Alphas. That wasn't unheard of, of a couple being both Alphas, but it was odd.
Then Luck. Always causing problems, even with a natural nature of things. No one was sure what he was. He had presented, but no one knew what it was. Luck wasn't hiding something, they didn't think. And they've taken tests. His blood and salivia was something they've never seen. It was like he was a hybrid.
He had the characteristics of both an Alpha and Omega.
And it wasn't just based on his personality, Snake had learned not to say someone was a certain second gender based on attituted alone. But he had the strength of an Alpha, but the brains of an Omega. On different days, he could smell like either, or both. He wasn't fooling around with anyone, they watched him. The smell was him.
When mating season it, it usually hit all at once. Like a syncing of sorts. But Luck never went crazy with lust and anger like an Alpha, or even a Beta. And he never became wanton like a Omega. It was all just confusing.
A thing that was easy to tell the second gender was eyes. An Alpha had red eyes. Beta's had different shades of yellow and gold. An Omega had blue. Luck's eyes never changed. It usually did with emotions, and Luck had a lot of them, but it was still the normal grey that was his normal eye colour.
Snake was above things like forcing a reaction out of someone to find out these type of things, but he was looking out for the wellbeing of everyone in the base. Even Luck himself.
He had to bend the rules. Just once.
But 'once' happened to be a pretty long time. Luck was brought to a room every night, to be poked at to get some kind of response. They always got one.. it was just a normal Luck reaction though. Lots of cussing, flipping the bird and threats of death and mayhem.
Snake had finally taken outside help from Ellie. She was a highly regarded Alpha. She had given him information she had gotten from Kurt when he passed. Just some unethical ways to find these things out. It had to deal with sounds, smells, psychical feelings and vibration.
The sounds were of moaning from different second genders. Then their smells. The vibration they've collected from a growl of an Alpha or a moaning from an Omega. Nothing happened.
Then Fitch slipped in the idea that they weren't getting anything from him because he was already mated and had a specific interest. It confused Snake because Luck has gone after everyone. No real pattern or defining trait. Ellie felt the same.
But Fitch deals with this type of stuff with the human trafficing. So, he puts two pictures in front of them. They're stills from cameras. One is of Luck smiling at Tony in a gentle way. The other is of Luck laughing in a non-taunting way at Vinny when he shoved him.
And that pretty much clicked in their heads.
It was one-sided mating. Usually people that were mated, both parties were attracted. That may be true, but nothing has ever shown their interest in Luck. Sometimes, though, one-side of the mating was the only one that wanted it. When that happened, weird mutations can happen. It all mostly just ends in the death of the persurer.
Maybe that was what happened with Luck. He was mated to two Alphas that wanted nothing of him, so his genes mutated into him from an Omega, to an Alpha to show he's worthy. Or from an Alpha to an Omega, to show he's willing to submit.
Either way was just theory. They needed to test it.
They had taken scents from both of them. Luck was glaring at everyone when he was brought back to this room for who knows how many times. But they noticed the pause in his step when he got a whiff of the scent. That showed something.
And they went over what they had before. The smells from both of them, it made Luck pause. The sounds of moaning from them made Luck's canines change a bit. Then when the put the stickies on him that would push the vibrations of their growls into him, he started to move away. Strong Alphas held him there and let the vibrations move against his nape, a place for an Alpha to show that they had mated this person.
Luck's eyes squeezed shut and his canines dug harshly into his lip, making it bleed. But his smell was still a mixture between Alpha and Omega. They needed Luck to open his eyes.
Snake gestured and the men started to try to get Luck to open them. First by asking nicely. "Luck, can you open your eyes?" Luck snarled, but kept them close.
"Luck, we need to see your eyes." They kept the vibration strong and on repeat.
An Alpha snarled, it was close to his rut and he just wanted to go home to his mate. "Luck, open your fucking eyes. If you're a fucking bitch, we needa know so we can put your horny ass in a hole and let-"
Luck's eyes flashed open and he glared at the man. "I will rip your eyes outta your fucking skull if you do something like that." His insults fell on deaf ears to everyone in the room when they saw his eyes.
It made sense, but no sense. He smelled like both Alpha and Omega, because he was both. One eye was the deepest and bloodiest looking red Snake has ever seen. The other was the purest blue that not even a mountain spring looks as pure.
The colour slowly faded as the vibration and his angry mostly went away. He ripped the sticker of his neck. Snake slowly stood up and walked to Snake. "Make your eyes glow again." Luck snarled, but he blinked and they colours were still different. The red and blue contrasted so oddly. "How.. Can you make both red? Or both blue?"
Luck blinked and his eyes went grey again. "No. If I try to change one to red, the other is blue. It works the other way too. And I can't make just one glow." Snake nodded slowly. He touched under Luck's eyes. He pressed a little and his eyes glowed again.
"How is this possible?" Snake could see, rather than feel or smell, Luck getting angry because his eyes changed a little. They were still red and blue, but the red was turning darker and the blue was becoming paler. Snake didn't know that was possible either. He pulled his hands away. "What.. What do you go through?"
Luck leaned back and his canines retreated. "I don't go into a heat or rut. But I do get knots and slick." Snake sat down, feeling like Luck would be more open if he wasn't towering over him. He knew his men were writing this down.
"When do you get a knot? Or become slick?" Luck tapped his foot as he thought.
"Knot, when I'm with a chick. Slick comes out when I'm with a guy. I don't bottom, so I don't know why.." The little trail off sounded like Luck did know. When Snake didn't ask more, but stared pointedly at him after that sentence, Luck snarled. "I don't know."
"You are very smart, Luck. You know just about everything if it can benifit you. Or if it's about you. Tell me what you know."
Luck glared and looked away. "I get a knot with a woman because I'm Alpha with one." He made a face, it could be a disgusted cringe. "Slick comes out with guys 'cause my body wants to be mated by him because of the Omega. It doesn't want me to be the top." When Snake still stared, he huffed in annoyance. "And that's because.. I'm.. mated to a woman and man. And.." Claws and canines started to get bigger. "I'm both so, being an Alpha to a woman is just as important as being an Omega to a man."
"When around them.. does your gender change?" Luck gave him a look. "When around Vinny, do you become slick? And have heat like symptoms when it around season? Or become angry when it's around rutting season and you're around Tony?" Luck huffed and looked away. "Luck, this is very important for everyone. Especially you." Luck rolled his neck, then looked at him.
"When I'm around both, I'm fine. When just around Tony, no matter when, I do feel hotter and like I want to attack something. And around just Vinny.. no matter when.. I get.. a little.." He gripped the table, claws ripping into the steel. "I get slick and.. bothered." Snake made a note of Luck's claws being able to pierce the metal.
"Okay, so.. whenever around just one of either of them, you're automatically in a rut or heat?" When Luck started to peel the steel, he grabbed Luck's hands. "It's okay, Luck. Everyone has this type of problem. Yours is just a bit different." He pulled Luck's hands out of the table. "We have things for this and now we can help you control this better. Now that we know."
Luck's canines retracted, but his claws remained out. "I'm not a pet, Snake. You don't get to experiment on me because I'm not a normal fucked up Alpha or Omega." His claws started to dig into Snake. "Don't fuckin' do this shit again. It won't be good." Snake pulled his hands away and took the warning to heart.
He wasn't sure that what Luck was was an actual thing, so he knowed nothing about this. He wasn't wanting to see what a hybrid was like angry.
