Disclaimer: I do not own GeneratorREX – if I did the show would definitely be ranked R rather than PG.
A/N1: I find this pairing… fascinating.
A/N2: List of my head-canons is so long and so beautiful.

My death-wish
It's not a secret and I know it well
I'd like to die by your side"

The dust and sand were still in the air - unsettled. Yet Rex didn't care less, as he took a deep breath of hot, dry air. The deflect group has won! Black Knight has been overthrown… Maybe half of the building had collapsed in the process but it can be repaired easily. Younger Salazar couldn't wait till White would again start to officially boss him around as Providence agent. The curing E.V.O. stood proudly on a heap of junk, which just few hours ago was a briefing room. He watched as Providence agents were treating their wounded colleagues, clearing a rubble in the swarm of bodies Rex noticed a person – or more precisely: his brother - rushing toward him.
"I request the highest of fives, bro" Rex announced proudly, rising his hand in the air, anticipating some sort of a positive feedback. Yet there were no embarrassing hugs nor family-nicknames. Caesar didn't emit any dis- or approval sounds. The scientist only run past him, roughly showing confused teen aside. It was the first time since Rex remembered that his older brother treated him like a stranger.
"HELEN!" Rex heard his brother shout behind his back. The younger sibling turned in his direction. The man was now desperately digging with his bare hands through the rubble of fallen building, cutting his hands over shattered glass, sharp edges of heavy chunks of concrete and broken steel pipes.
After a time, which for some were just mare seconds while for others were an eternity, the scientist reached the fallen Providence leader. With tenderness and caution that younger sibling had never seen his brother having toward anyone – even himself - the Latin-American gently took the woman in his arms.
Rex wanted to turn his head after finally noticing the horrifying state the woman was actually in: her body was ragged, torn, broken, pierced, cut and soiled with blood and dirt. Just a quick glance was enough to force teen's bile to rise up, gagging up his throat. Yet the teenager couldn't look away as Black Knight brought her hand toward Caesar's face and brushed his cheek lightly, as if wiping away tears that were yet to come. Her lips curled into a warm smile. She looked like totally different person, not headstrong, ruthless leader but a kind, gentle...
"Helen, please" Caesar whispered, his hand froze in the air, as if he was unsure where to press first to stop blood from escaping her body.
"hush, Caesar" she whispered back - her voice was faint and trebling.
Rex's eyes went wide. He finally understood why his brother – against all odds - remained loyal to the Black Knight. There was no brainwashing, collars, microchips nor robot replacements as Rex expected. The answer for Caesar's behaviour was too surreal in it's simplicity to be true. Rex couldn't believe that he has never considered, during all of his hatred fuelled broodings, that this most natural form of attachment could form between those two.
Yet it did...
Caesar Salazar – an individual so intelligent yet so naïve in his own special way- fell in love with one of the most ruthless leaders of Providence. What surprised Rex the most was that the feelings were mutual.
Rex finally managed to turn away from the pair as a new found understanding and determination won over astonishment. The E.V.O. morphed his legs into his ride – he had do something.
