Author Notes: somehow i made a bad fanfic. somehow. i'm not sure how it got this long but it was supposed to eventually cut into the beginning, but i'll put that in another chapter i guess. whoops.
It was taking quite some time for him to get used to his new body, it seemed. The initial adjustment period had already gone, and he was still adjusting.
GLaDOS watched as her new test subject fiddled with the portal gun, before he managed to figure out how to fire a portal. And another in the complementary colour. She knew it was best to remain patient, especially with morons like Wheatley.
He wasn't just any moron, after all. He was made from an entire generation and a half of the best, scientific minds, to create something that was one of the dumbest things alive. After pigeons. It was a miracle that he was even sentient. He was made to slow her down by babbling an incredulously large amount of idiotic ideas. These ideas increased by the day, and drained her processing power. What's more, is that they were ideas that would never work, and should never be applied to practice. Ideas that were so idiotic, they'd gotten him sent to the moon.
Of course, he'd come back because she allowed him to. She was the one who set up the transmission protocols, thus transporting his consciousness into an android body. And she allowed him access to the device that shot wormholes.
Her eye narrowed as she watched from the security camera. On a regular day, it would be Chell that would be holding the portal-creating device. Since her most determined test subject had left, and she'd exhausted her supply of human test subjects, she thought it would be appropriate to switch to androids.
After all, even if the pain was simulated, it was still pain. And she reveled in any pain caused to Wheatley, no matter how miniscule. One might say that it was revenge for feeding so many awful, awful ideas into her systems.
He'd come with a friend, too. The one that blabbered about space near constantly, unless he was being silent for once. That core was undeniably corrupted, but was still allowed an android body, for some reason. Maybe, once she got bored of Wheatley, she might use that core for testing. Maybe.
She continued watching, as the moron proceeded to get himself stuck in a portal loop. A heavy sigh left her.
This was to be expected, considering the absolute imbecile she was watching on the complex camera system that allowed her to see practically everything in most areas was once an Intelligence Dampening Sphere.
Also known as a completely useless idiot that didn't know how to work a portal gun, despite being given plenty of demonstration by the human test subject that had actually survived. Chell.
