Summary
Sam gets an order in from Die-Hardman about rescuing another injured porter stranded in the mountains by Mountain Knot City. He of course doesn't hesitate, but immediately regrets it upon finding out it's fucking Higgs Monaghan. He isn't completely mad however...
OR
He immediately drops Higgs into the snow as if he was just physically shocked, to which Higgs just lets out a grunt through his laugh as he hits the ground on his back. He grins under the ski mask as he looks up at Sam, those blue eyes looking more familiar now and making Sam’s gut twist in anger and confusion.
“What the fuck?!” Sam growls, standing up quickly and stumbling back in pure shock, smoothing down his jumpsuit as if to wipe Higgs off of him. “Higgs??"
The so-called injured porter's eyes twinkle with mischief, before that damn southern accent teases out, “You always so carin' like that, Sammy?"
Sam’s eyes narrow, “You sick fuck—” he grumbles, fists and jaw clenched now. In one swift, aggressive motion, he takes a step forward, pulls down his hood, and yanks the ski mask off Higgs' head, like he has to confirm it's really him. And holy shit—that face, the chiral tattoos, those lips.

Summary
Sam looks flustered, and his gaze darts away from Higgs like he can’t quite bring himself to expand upon it any further. He gives a meagre shrug.
Higgs, keen as ever, smiles impishly. He knows, of course, what Sam wants based on reaction alone, but he isn’t going to give it up easily.
“Seriously, Sam. No idea what part you’re gettin’ at.”

Summary
Sam shifted his weight anxiously from foot to foot, spring-loaded and ready for anything he might try to throw his way. “What is this?” he panted. “Are you real?”
“Oh, I’m as real as it gets.” Palms upturned, Higgs slowly began to lift his arms out to his sides. “Now, this little game of ours may have been on pause for a while, but what do you say we get back to it, hmm? Amelie or no Amelie, the big number six is—” His voice faded.
And then he stopped. He froze in place, and even at a distance, even under the hood of his suit, Sam could tell something was wrong.
Then the BTs came, screaming and clawing and bubbling up from the ground at Higgs’ feet. Sam drew his weapon, but there was no need. They were focused on Higgs, and Higgs alone. Very quickly, he began to sink into the tar.
Sam doesn’t know why he did what he did. He should’ve turned and walked away; let them drag that fucker down with them where he belongs. Maybe that would’ve tasted like justice. Hell, the place was already a crater – what more damage could a Voidout even do?
But no. Instead, he ran straight towards the fray.
